My best friends both transmigrated into a book and married powerful officials; she left me and I lef

"What do you mean by this?" Sang Luan asked, frowning.

“Since your mistress has already married into my Feng family,” Liu Wenxian snorted coldly, glancing at Yu Po casually, “she is now a member of my Feng family. She is Hengzhi’s legal wife, and the people below should naturally address her as ‘Young Madam.’”

She paused, then slightly raised her right hand. The two maids holding Yu Po used all their strength to instantly pin her to the ground.

Yu Po suddenly knelt on the ground, unable to hold back a muffled groan.

“This girl just called for ‘Miss’.” Liu Wenxian said and walked out first. “The ancestors are all here. Don’t offend their ears. Go to the front hall.”

Sang Luan took a deep breath and forgot about it.

There are so many rules in this mansion; you can easily fall into a trap if you're not careful.

lobby.

Liu Wenxian sat leisurely at the top, glanced at Sang Luan, and said, "Your people are clearly disrespectful to you. Drag them away and give them thirty lashes."

Sang Luan's pupils contracted slightly as she looked abruptly at Yu Po, who didn't utter a single word of pleading for herself.

“Yu Po is indeed unruly. Luan’er will definitely teach her a lesson when she comes down.” Sang Luan straightened her expression. “Considering this is her first offense, why don’t we forgive her this time, Mother?”

Liu Wenxian looked incredulous. "You want to teach her manners? I don't think either of you, master and servant, is easy to deal with."

“Yu Po has been with Luan’er since she was a child, and she knows Luan’er’s habits well, so she feels more at ease using her.” Seeing that Yu Po was about to be pulled away, Sang Luan quickly grabbed one of Yu Po’s hands. “Even if she has no merit, she has worked hard. Why not give her a small punishment to teach her a lesson? It will also make this girl appreciate her mother’s kindness.”

"What good is it for a maid to be grateful to me?" Liu Wenxian said with utter disdain.

“She alone is of no use.” Sang Luan quickly tried to sow discord among Liu Wenxian. “If everyone in this mansion knew that Mother was kind-hearted, and this was spread by word of mouth to other noble ladies’ mansions, or even to the Emperor’s ears, then it would be very useful.”

If those thirty lashes were really delivered, Yu Po would be crippled even if she didn't die, and would need at least half a month to recover.

Yu Po is her best little helper in the manor, and she must protect her no matter what.

Seeing that Liu Wenxian hesitated for a moment, Sang Luan went straight for the kill, "If His Majesty finds out, Brother Hengzhi will naturally receive His Majesty's praise as well. Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?"

Feng Shinian had previously held an important position in the court, but as Feng Hengzhi gradually rose to prominence, Feng Shinian voluntarily resigned from his official post.

Feng Shinian used this tactic of retreating to advance very skillfully.

Liu Wenxian, on the other hand, dreams of helping Feng Hengzhi.

For her, matters concerning Feng Hengzhi were always her top priority.

“Judging by the time, Brother Hengzhi is about to finish his morning court session.” Sang Luan exclaimed, “Brother Hengzhi has a sensitive stomach. I recently learned a new pastry recipe that I’m sure will suit his taste.”

Aside from matters of the court, Liu Wenxian was most concerned about Feng Hengzhi's diet.

Liu Wenxian stretched out her hand, but ultimately did not say anything about fighting Yu Po. She parted her lips slightly, and Yu Po bowed deeply to her, saying, "Thank you, Madam. You are beautiful and kind-hearted. I will always be mindful of my words and actions in the manor from now on."

“You can leave this kind of thing to the servants; you don’t need to do it yourself.” Liu Wenxian’s expression softened considerably. “Anyone who didn’t know better would think that you suffered a lot after marrying into our family.”

Sang Luan shook her head, looking serious. "I don't trust anyone else to be Luan'er. Besides, if Brother Hengzhi likes it, it won't be a waste of time."

"Then please have some health-preserving tea first. Luan'er will go downstairs to make pastries for Brother Hengzhi." Sang Luan said with a smile.

Immediately, he pulled Yu Po away from the front hall.

"What exactly is Sang Luan up to?" Liu Wenxian asked the head maid beside her, watching Sang Luan's departing figure.

Jin Rui first followed Liu Wenxian's gaze, but quickly looked away.

"In my opinion," she said with a faint smile, "the young mistress has just not yet adapted to her new status and still retains some of the petty traits she had in the old household."

"After a while, I think the young mistress will learn the rules."

Liu Wenxian remained silent for a long time before finally speaking, "I hope so."

Her eyes flickered slightly. Could she really help Hengzhi as that girl said?

Hibiscus Garden.

"Young Madam," Yu Po said with a pained expression, placing the food box on the table. "The food box you requested is ready."

Sang Luan glanced at Yu Po with amusement. She knew that Yu Po had no bad intentions and was only thinking of her. She guessed that Yu Po just thought it was a bit awkward to pronounce.

"It's okay, she won't let us call her that." Sang Luan gently touched Yu Po's arm and winked at her. "Then we'll call her that secretly."

Upon hearing this, Yu Po's eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously, "Okay."

"You've remembered this." Sang Luan opened the food box in front of her and glanced at it, quite satisfied. "I made all of these things myself for Brother Hengzhi."

Yu Po nodded vigorously.

Sang Luan raised her eyes, a slight smile playing on her lips, "Come on, your young lady will take you to make a fortune."

She waved to Yu Po, "You can do this first, then do that."

“Miss.” Yu Po glanced at her, pointed at her, and couldn’t help but say, “Your smile is so cunning.”

Sang Luan lightly tapped her forehead and glared at her, "What are you saying? What are you saying?"

Half an hour later.

Wufeng Pavilion.

Upon hearing the commotion outside, Sang Luan immediately sprang into action.

With a smile on her face, she went straight to meet him and reached out to grab Feng Hengzhi's outer robe.

Feng Hengzhi looked up and saw only the woman he hated.

His brow furrowed involuntarily, and he subconsciously took a step back.

He was tall and slender, with his right hand behind his back, and a delicate jade pendant at his waist further accentuated his refined and elegant appearance.

His disgust was undisguised, and he turned to leave.

Sang Luan reacted quickly, grabbing Feng Hengzhi's outer robe with lightning speed. "Brother Hengzhi, I made you some food. Would you like to eat some?"

Feng Hengzhi looked over impatiently and saw a hint of expectation in the girl's eyes, and she looked very cautious.

Her eyes naturally upturned at the corners, and the beauty mark at the corner of her eye made every casual movement of hers incredibly charming.

Sang Luan was wearing a red dress today. At this moment, she was half-bent over, tilting her head, and staring at him without blinking.

He silently withdrew his gaze and strode forward. "Where are the others?"

Sang Luan was overjoyed and quickly took off Feng Hengzhi's outer robe.

She pulled him to the table, took out all the pastries, placed them in front of Feng Hengzhi, then put her hands together and looked at Feng Hengzhi with a smile.
