Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy
Chapter 35 Falling into the Fire Pit
Just then, Nanchun's voice was heard from the room.
"Afu!"
"Hey, Second Young Madam." Ah Fu hurriedly pushed open the door.
Nanchun smiled and said, "Madam Zhang has been busy for half an hour. Go and prepare some tea and snacks. The tea should be the best Biluochun."
Ah Fu received the order and hurried to prepare.
Aunt Zhang snorted coldly and said, "Don't try to be cunning!"
"Madam Zhang, I don't mean anything else. I just feel sorry for your age and me being a not-so-smart student. I want you to rest for a while and not tire yourself out." Nanchun said with a smile.
After hearing what Nanchun said, Aunt Zhang saw that he was smiling and speaking sincerely, and did not seem to be playing tricks, so her expression eased a little.
But he still kept a straight face and said, "Second Young Master, you don't need to waste your time here. The old lady has ordered me to teach you well. I will do my best and dare not slack off in the slightest."
Nanchun smiled slightly and said, "Madam, you're right. I understand your painstaking efforts. When I was in school, the teacher said that learning requires alternating periods of relaxation and effort. Drinking a cup of tea and eating a snack won't delay much."
Nanny Zhang glanced at Nanchun. She was indeed feeling dry-mouthed and a little tired at the moment.
Not long after, Ah Fu came in with tea and snacks, smiling.
Nanchun quickly stood up, took the snacks from Ah Fu's hand, and placed them in front of Aunt Zhang.
"Madam Zhang, please try these dim sum and see if they suit your taste. The dim sum chef in the small kitchen in the courtyard was invited from Jiangnan, and he is an expert at making dim sum." Nan Chun said with a smile.
Aunt Zhang picked up a piece of rice cake sprinkled with osmanthus flowers. It was soft and glutinous without being sticky, and the red bean filling was sweet and not greasy.
It is indeed excellent.
Ah Fu, who was standing by, felt relieved when he saw that Aunt Zhang's expression had eased a lot.
"Second Young Madam, the Second Young Master will be back from the Buddhist temple soon. I'll go and greet him right away."
"Hey, go ahead." Nanchun said with a smile.
When Bai Xun came out of the Buddhist temple, he saw Ah Fu waiting anxiously at the door.
"Is things not going well with Nanchun?" Bai Xun asked.
Ah Fu said with a sad face, "That Madam Zhang is really fierce. She beat the Second Young Madam with a cane without saying a word."
"Is this really true?" Bai Xun's face darkened and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
Although he knew that his grandmother disliked Nanchun and would not easily let go of the opportunity to discipline him, he did not expect that Nanny Zhang would be so bold as to lay hands on Nanchun.
"Second Young Madam asked me to serve tea and snacks, and I saw that her palms were swollen." Ah Fu continued, "I've only been teaching for half an hour... I've never seen a teacher teach while beating someone."
Bai Xun's brows furrowed even more tightly, and he quickened his pace towards Jingyuan.
Aunt Zhang had long heard that the second young master of the Bai family was gentle, refined, and handsome. Now, seeing him, she was convinced that his reputation was truly well-deserved.
Bai Xun's eyes fell on Nanchun's injured hand, and his heart tightened. He took a step forward and grasped Nanchun's hand tenderly: "You..."
Nanchun smiled and said quickly, "It's okay. I was always slapped on the palms by Mr. Wang and Mr. Mu in school. Compared to them, Aunt Zhang was quite lenient!"
Nanny Zhang looked at the gloomy Second Young Master and the Second Young Mistress who was trying hard to explain to her with some surprise.
Isn’t it said that the second young master was forced to marry this wild boy from a poor family?
Isn't it said that the Second Young Master and Old Madam Bai are on the same page and want to discipline this unruly Second Young Madam?
On the way here, she heard Na Lan's mother, who was sitting in front of the old lady, talk about how the second young mistress was vulgar, domineering, unruly, and disrespectful to her elders. And how the second young master disliked and hated her...
But now the second young master looked at her with eyes as sharp as a knife, and the look he gave the second young mistress was clearly full of heartache.
Aunt Zhang looked at the two people in front of her who were showing affection, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face.
"I was a bit too harsh, please forgive me, Second Young Master."
Bai Xun looked at Aunt Zhang coldly and said, "Aunt Zhang, you are here to teach him, not to punish him."
"Okay, okay, it doesn't hurt. Aunt Zhang is doing this for my own good. The old lady asked her to teach me, so she will definitely do her best to fulfill her responsibilities." Nanchun tried to smooth things over.
Bai Xun frowned and said, "Let's stop here for today. It's almost time. When you get to Grandmother, you should give her a proper reply. You should know what to say and what not to say."
Aunt Zhang's heart trembled, and she lowered her head and said, "Yes, I understand."
After Nanny Zhang left, Bai Xun took Nanchun back to the house and found some ointment to apply on him.
Nanchun looked at his slightly furrowed brows and said, "I don't let you talk about her because I have my own purpose."
Bai Xun looked up at him and asked, "What's your purpose?"
Nanchun leaned close to his ear and whispered mysteriously, "Winning people's hearts!"
"People with bad intentions are useless if they are bribed. In my opinion, they should just be dismissed."
Nanchun shook her head and said, "This person used to teach etiquette to nobles in the palace. If I send someone like this away after teaching me for a day, people will definitely spread rumors that I'm domineering and rude.
Wouldn't that give the old lady a reason to punish me? What if she tells the head of the family that even the best nanny can't teach me well and that she has to do it herself? What should I do then? Instead of letting the old lady teach, it's better for her to teach me."
Bai Xun looked at Nanchun in surprise. He didn't expect Nanchun to think of this.
Seeing his surprise, Nan Chun smiled and said, "I told you I'm not weak. I can protect myself."
Bai Xun nodded and said, "Well, but what if she doesn't listen to you and becomes even more aggressive in the future?"
Nanchun thought for a moment and said, "Madame Zhang isn't a servant in the old house. She's here just to make some money. I think she definitely doesn't want to offend anyone in the house. Send someone to help me find out about Madame Zhang, especially who she lives with now and how she's doing."
After hearing this, Bai Xun knew what he wanted to do and agreed.
Here, Aunt Zhang came out of Jingyuan and met Aunt Lan who was waiting at the door.
When Mother Lan saw her, she smiled and said, "Madam Zhang, thank you for your hard work. The old lady wants to see you."
Aunt Zhang said politely, "It's not hard, it's what I should do."
Arrived at the old lady's room.
"I heard that you beat him?" the old lady asked with a smile.
Aunt Zhang replied in panic, "I was a little too harsh. I will be more careful next time."
The old lady waved her hand and said, "Good job! He's learning the rules. If he doesn't learn well, he'll be beaten. Don't worry. The stricter you are with him, the better. Xun'er will be the head of the family in the future, and as the legal wife, he must behave like a legal wife."
Nanny Zhang came out of the old lady's courtyard with a lot on her mind.
She had come to the old house to teach her cousin Xu Huiling before, and the Bai family head and the old lady had treated her well. So when the old lady sent someone to ask, she agreed without hesitation.
I thought it was a lucrative job.
who knew...
He actually fell into a fire pit.
