"Is the prince going to get acupuncture today?"

Sang Wan asked cautiously.

Although she acted as a matchmaker for Cheng Buyu in order to save her own life, she always felt uneasy.

She couldn't say where this uneasiness came from.

"Yes. Li Jiu has other things to do, so you should come with me. If others ask you, do you know what to say and what not to say?"

Pei Jinzhi raised his eyes and found that her ears were red.

His gaze fell back to the backs of their hands, where they were still holding hands.

He immediately let go, looking disgusted:

"Take this ointment and apply it to yourself."

Sang Wan lowered his head, took the small porcelain jar, and thanked him in a low voice.

Both of them felt a little uncomfortable.

"We have a distinguished guest coming to the mansion today, and he will probably stay for a while. If you hit Pei Yanting, he won't let you go. If you don't have anything else to do, stay in Zhaoyun Courtyard and don't go out and cause trouble."

Sang Wan raised her eyebrows. How did he know?

Pei Jinzhi revealed her little thoughts:

"Do you think Pei Yanting is blind and I am stupid?"

Sang Wan blushed and stuck out her tongue, trying to explain:

"He was trying to do something wrong, so I beat him up."

"Well played."

Pei Jinzhi made up his mind immediately before she could continue.

Sang Wan was feeling somewhat relieved, and he turned back and added:

"Don't think I'm doing this for you. If even a dog in Zhaoyun Court is bitten by an outsider, I will make it bite back."

dog?

Sang Wan twitched the corner of his mouth.

Oh, are you polite?

"Don't misunderstand me. I will stay in the yard and not go anywhere. I will never cause any trouble for you."

Sang Wan suddenly remembered what happened in the garden.

Should I tell him about that pair of wild mandarin ducks?

Pei Jinzhi closed his eyelids: "What else do you want to say?"

Sang Wan swallowed the words back into her stomach.

"Oh, nothing, there really is a wolf in the garden."

A pervert is also a wolf.

She should listen to Sister Qinghe and say less.

Pei Jinzhi snorted coldly: "Have you seen Ji Feng?"

"Who is Ji Feng?" Sang Wan wondered.

Pei Jinzhi looked at her for a long time, then smiled brightly, his expression rather amused: "So you haven't seen it yet."

Sang Wan wanted to ask more, but after thinking about it, she decided that it was better to have less trouble than more, so it would be better to just not ask any more questions.

Jifeng, the name sounds crazy.

"Master, if there's nothing else, I'm going to clean the toilet first."

Pei Jinzhi was puzzled: "A third-class maid is only responsible for sweeping the inner courtyard. Who asked you to clean the toilet?"

Sang Wan thought, who else could it be? Of course it’s Qiuyue.

Pei Jinzhi saw her with her head down and silent, which was a bit annoying, and he felt an inexplicable anger in his heart:

"There's nothing wrong with being soft, but being too soft will only make people want to step on you even more. Didn't you say you wanted to fight? Why did you let yourself be bullied when things got tough?"

Sang Wan didn't understand. What were you saying?

Didn't he hate quarrels among servants? Why was he talking about her again?

It's not that she doesn't want to talk back or fight back, she just feels it's unnecessary.

She has heard and encountered a lot of slander and humiliation like this since she was a child. If she were to fight against all of them, wouldn't she be exhausted to death?

"It's work anyway. Since I'm taking your monthly salary, I should do more. I don't feel wronged."

"If you are so kind-hearted, why don't you plead for Xianggui?" There was a sharp light in Pei Jinzhi's eyes.

Sang Wan said truthfully, "Master, you punished her to set the rules. If I plead for mercy, wouldn't that be a slap in your face?"

She has been working as a servant in Tianshengtang Pharmacy for so many years, so she has some insight.

Pei Jinzhi was not standing up for her, he was taking the opportunity to intimidate his servants.

"He's quite smart and knows his place."

"Do you know why I spanked you ten times?"

Sang Wan felt a dull pain in her buttocks.

You are perverted and cruel.

"I know. I broke the rules of the mansion."

Pei Jinzhi sneered and said quietly:

"Remember this lesson. Don't trust anyone easily in this mansion."

Sang Wan got goosebumps for no reason.

Pei Mansion… "Even you don't believe it?"

Pei Jin was startled, and the corner of his mouth curled up: "Do you believe me?"

Sang Wan knew he had spoken out of turn and knelt down again:

"I said the wrong thing. Please forgive me, my lord."

Of course she didn't believe Pei Jinzhi, but his words were orders and could not be questioned.

Pei Jinzhi didn't react much, as if Sang Wanxin's distrust of him wasn't worth mentioning:

"Cleaning the toilet is not your job. If everyone rushes to do it like you, what's the point of keeping the Pei Mansion's rules?"

Sang Wan looked bewildered.

What's wrong? It's wrong to work more?

"You must do as much work as you're paid. Don't even think about doing more work and then extorting money from me."

Sang Wan immediately explained: "Master, I don't think so."

A gentleman loves money but gets it in a proper way. No one would dare to cheat you.

"Then listen to me and do your part."

Pei Jinzhi spoke.

"Yes." Sang Wan responded crisply.

This is much more comfortable than staying in a pharmacy.

With the same monthly salary of one tael, she was very busy under Madam Cheng's supervision.

"I'm going to change my clothes. There's some food on the table. I'm full, so I'll give it to you." Pei Jinzhi left her alone and went into the inner room.

Sang Wan's eyes lit up. Is there such a good thing?

She was beaten with a stick last night and didn't even have dinner. This morning she only had a steamed bun. She was really hungry.

The round table in the flower hall was filled with food. There were meat patties, rice pudding, coconut rolls, and eight-treasure cakes. Sang Wan's mouth was watering at the sight.

Pei Jinzhi, that bastard! Tsk tsk…

Even the breakfast was so good.

"Young Master, you really don't want to eat anymore? You gave it all to me?" Sang Wan couldn't believe it.

Although I know he is giving me a slap in the face and then a sweet date, these delicacies are really tempting.

She doesn't want backbone anymore, she wants sweet dates.

Pei Jinzhi's voice came from the inner room, a little soft:

"It's a waste to feed the dog, it's better to give it to you."

Sang Wan: ...

You are the dog.

Your whole family is dogs.

*

After filling her stomach, Sang Wan followed Pei Jinzhi out of the house.

Sanben was in charge of leading the horses in the front yard. Seeing that Sang Wan was fine, he smiled happily.

Pei Jinzhi coughed, and Sanben immediately went to hold the horse reins.

He got into the carriage with a cold face and did not invite Sang Wan in.

Sang Wan wisely sat in the front of the car with San Ben.

She whispered a thank you: "The prince didn't punish you, did he?"

Pei Jinzhi dealt with Xianggui, I wonder if he will take action against Sanben?

San Ben shook his head and pointed towards the carriage:

"The prince is very clear about rewards and punishments. I'm fine. They rely on their age and always bully the newcomers. They won't dare to scold you again next time."

Sang Wan nodded silently.

Of course, who wants to have their tongue pulled out?

However, Pei Jinzhi's move completely created a feud between her and Qiuyue and the other maids.

Well, let's take it one step at a time.

"Cough cough..." A few more coughs were heard in the carriage.

Sang Wan turned around and opened the curtain:

"My Lord, what's wrong with you?"

"Come in and make tea." Pei Jinzhi's voice was a little hoarse.

Sang Wan turned around, lowered her voice and pointed at San Ben, "I'll go in and serve."

San Ben nodded and said, "Go ahead. The prince is weak and needs to drink Wanshouchun to warm his stomach."

"Okay, thanks for reminding me."

Sang Wan made a gesture of understanding.

"What are you dawdling for? Come in now."

Pei Jinzhi was very unhappy.

Sang Wan rolled his eyes, what a mad dog.

"I'm coming."
