Linghe looked up and saw that it was He Yaya. She was furious and said, "What business is it of yours? Get out of my way!"

"Hmph, what are you so arrogant about? No matter how arrogant you are, you'll still get punished."

“He Yaya, if you don’t speak, no one will think you’re mute.”

"Hmph, I call this kicking a dog when it's down."

"Get out of here!"

Linghe felt deeply humiliated at that moment.

Of the three maids serving Biyunting, she was the most eloquent and quick-witted.

Therefore, she was quickly promoted by Wu Weiwei to be the head maid in the courtyard.

But today, because she was worried about the girl's safety, she took it upon herself to have the young master summoned, and the master punished her for it.

She couldn't be more angry.

Moreover, she felt extremely humiliated to be ridiculed by He Yaya.

She glanced resentfully in the direction He Yaya had left, thinking, "A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years."

Guilan Residence.

"You wouldn't believe it, Linghe was just standing there in the courtyard, her face turned red from the cold, it was hilarious..."

He Yaya was talking to others in the courtyard about Linghe's punishment.

Mimicking her pitiful appearance of shivering from the cold, the other maids burst into laughter.

She was just a maid in the concubine's quarters of Biyunting, yet she thought she was something special.

Every time I walk past her, I see her with her nose in the air, as if she's something special.

No wonder he was disliked by many servants in the mansion.

"Ya Ya, what are you laughing at?"

As the fourth daughter, Lu Wanting, came out of the house, she heard the laughter of several maids.

He Yaya stopped laughing and looked at her master with some fear.

The fourth daughter has an unpredictable temper and is not easy to serve.

"Fourth Miss, I was just joking with them."

"What joke? Why don't you tell me and make me laugh too?"

Lu Wanting tried to soften her expression and be as kind as possible, just like her fifth younger sister, Lu Wanqing.

My mother said that she was too strict with the servants, which caused them to not do their jobs properly.

She should learn from that little slut Lu Wanqing so that she can gain the favor of the servants and make them work loyally for her.

The matriarch saw that she had become better, which is why she considered whether to arrange a marriage between her and the Lin family.

"Fourth Miss, it's like this. Today, I passed by Biyun Court and found that Linghe had been punished by her master."

"Because of what?"

"Well... I'm not quite sure, but it seems like she made some decision on her own and angered Wu Weiwei."

Upon hearing this, Lu Wanting appeared deep in thought.

The maid was punished, which angered Wu Weiwei?

Lu Wanting's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Ya Ya, come here, I have something to tell you to do."

Inside the room, Wu Weiwei had already read most of the book in her hands.

She looked at Wanqiu, who was lighting the lamp for her.

"Wanqiu, do you think I did anything wrong in handling Linghe today?"

Wanqiu walked over and bowed to her.

“Miss, Linghe is rather impulsive. Your lesson today was for her own good. Wanqiu doesn’t think you were wrong.”

Wu Weiwei nodded at her; it seemed that Wanqiu was a sensible person.

I wonder if Linghe will change her ways because of the punishment I gave her today.

"I'm sleepy. Go out and tell her that she meant well, and since her punishment is over for today, let her rest early!"

"Yes, girl."

Wanqiu helped Wu Weiwei to sleep, then dimmed the wick slightly before leaving.

Outside the hospital.

A short figure quietly approached Linghe.

When Wanqiu came out with the lantern, she only saw that the figure had already gone far away.

"Linghe, the young lady takes pity on you and will let you off the punishment of standing in the corner. Go and rest!"

The sudden sound startled Linghe.

Seeing that it was Wanqiu, she patted her chest and said in a hoarse voice:

"Wanqiu, has the young lady forgiven me? Is she no longer angry with me?"

"Well, the young lady didn't mean to punish you. Next time you do something, you should think more and consider things more carefully, and don't act so impulsively."

"understood."

Linghe said sullenly.

The girl was not wrong, but she also believed that she was not wrong either, so the mother and daughter were the ones who were wrong.

Linghe walked past Wanqiu angrily into the courtyard.

The next day.

The servants of the Marquis's mansion are all preparing for the spring banquet the day after tomorrow.

Only Wu Weiwei stayed in her study, reading and practicing calligraphy.

This spring banquet is for the Crown Prince, for choosing a wife for her man. What is there for her to be busy with?

It's better to stay indoors, read books, practice calligraphy, and cultivate one's mind and body.

"Young lady, your handwriting is so beautiful."

Although Lingfu couldn't read, she saw that her daughter's handwriting was neat and orderly, and she felt that it must be the most beautiful.

"Hehe, I never thought that the usually honest Lingfu would actually praise someone. It's like the sun has risen in the west."

Linghe teased.

Wanqiu, who was feeding Polly, smiled.

"Linghe, am I wrong? Is your handwriting not beautiful?"

Lingfu blushed and protested.

Linghe glanced at her mistress worriedly, but saw that her expression was the same as before and she was not angry.

Then he said, "Your slender gold calligraphy is naturally the most beautiful. I have never seen any calligraphy that is more beautiful than yours."

"How does it compare to the Crown Prince's wild cursive script?"

Watching the maids joking and bickering, Wu Weiwei deliberately teased them.

"The Crown Prince's cursive script is beautiful, the Crown Prince's cursive script is beautiful."

Before the three of them could answer, they heard Polly's fawning and ingratiating voice.

As soon as they heard the melodious tinkling of the wind chimes, the handsome figure of the young master walked in.

"May the Crown Prince enjoy boundless blessings."

The girls were surprised.

So that's what the wind chimes were for.

And then there's Boli. After being severely disciplined by the Crown Prince for a few days last time, he's now sweeter than honey.

"The young master is handsome! The young master is mighty!"

Wu Weiwei put down her brush and greeted the prince with a smile.

"Your Highness, look at this Polita, he actually knows how to flatter."

It had previously praised my calligraphy in the "Slender Gold" style, but as soon as it saw you, it changed its tune and started flattering you.

Lu Hanting embraced the soft, fragrant woman in his arms and praised Polly, "Not bad, Polly, you've done a good job."

"Thank you, Your Highness! You are truly valiant!"

Amidst its praises, Wanqiu carried it out of the room.

"Your Highness, you haven't even mentioned rewarding me yet."

Wu Weiwei pressed against his chest and said coquettishly.

Lu Hanting grabbed the small, boneless hand that was roaming over his body like a snake. "Don't worry, I'll reward you big one when we're done."

Wu Weiwei's eyebrows immediately furrowed, "Does Your Highness mean what you say?"

He covered her red lips with his.

A long, slender hand reached out to her, "This time you're on top..."

Lingfu stood outside the door, her face flushed red.

Wanqiu was in the courtyard, feeding Poli fresh grapes that the prince had brought.

Seeing that Polly was still clamoring for more after finishing his meal, Wanqiu called out to the house, "Linghe, could you wash some more grapes for me?"

"I'm done eating, but I want more, I want more..."

After waiting for a long time, there was still no movement from inside the house.

Wanqiu had no choice but to get up and get the grapes herself.

"Squeak!"

The door opened, and Wanqiu asked in surprise, "Linghe, you're here. Why didn't you answer me just now?"

"No, I was packing my things, I didn't hear you. Why did you call me?"

Seeing Linghe's guilty face, Wanqiu gave her a strange look.
