Uncle Wan did not deny it. After hesitating for a while, he said, “I heard… Young Madam wants to transfer Su Mu to the Zhuyue Pavilion?”
Yu Wan smiled faintly. “Uncle Wan, you came here just for this? Is there anything wrong with transferring her to the Zhuyue Pavilion?”
Uncle Wan said politely, “There;s nothing wrong, but I want to ask why.”
Yu Wan looked at him and said, “If Yan Jiuchao had done this today, would you have asked why?”
“…”
Uncle Wan opened his mouth. No. No one dared to question Young Master’s decision.
“I’m doing this for your own good. You’re new here, unlike Young Master…”
“Not like he’s really your master, and I’m just a guest.”
This was the truth, but it was also out of anger. Of course, Yu Wan understood that she had just arrived and her foundation was unstable. It was far more important to win over people’s hearts than to make an example out of them. Uncle Wan was sincere with her because he thought about her, but did Uncle Wan really not have any protective feelings for Su Mu?
Uncle Wan said earnestly, “Young Madam, you’re Young Master’s official wife and have given birth to three sons for him. One of them is the eldest son of the first wife. Your status is definitely not something that can be shaken casually. Don’t worry. A maidservant isn’t worth your anger.”
Yu Wan was even angrier when she heard this. So in Uncle Wan’s eyes, it was because she couldn’t tolerate a maidservant that she thought of ways to deal with her?
“Doesn’t Uncle Wan find it strange that the little masters suddenly like a stranger so much? Didn’t you suspect that she played some tricks?”
Uncle Wan sighed. “Could it be that the little masters suddenly got close to Young Madam because Young Madam played tricks?”
Yu Wan’s breathing stopped.
Uncle Wan realized that he had said something wrong and quickly apologized. “I misspoke. Young Madam, please calm down.”
Yu Wan said sadly, “So in your eyes, I used tricks to get close to my own sons back then, right?”
Uncle Wan definitely did not mean that. He was just giving an example. He wanted to use this to tell Yu Wan that not everyone had a motive for getting close to the little masters, just like her in the past and the current Su Mu.
“I didn’t know that it was so difficult to deal with a maidservant,” Yu Wan said indifferently and walked into Lanfang Pavilion.
Uncle Wan wanted to say something, but Nanny Wan walked out and glared at Uncle Wan. “She’s a slave who signed a death contract. If a master wants her to die, she has to die. How dare she cause a commotion in the manor? I think the Princess Consort has been gone for too long that the people of the Yan Manor don’t know the rules!”
Uncle Wan shook his head. It’s not that they didn’t know the rules. It was just that Miss Su… was indeed a good person. Moreover, she couldn’t even tolerate a maidservant. What if Young Master had a concubine in the future?
Yan Jiuchao only returned to the Capital in the afternoon on the third day. He naturally had something urgent to attend to. Otherwise, he would not have abandoned his wife who he had just married for a few days. After he was done with his business, he rushed back to the Young Master Manor without stopping. He did not even catch his breath as he went to the Qingfeng Courtyard. In the end, the moment he entered the courtyard, he felt that something was missing. He looked around and saw that the three little brats were not around. The usually noisy courtyard fell silent for the first time.
Yan Jiuchao returned to his room and Yu Wan sat quietly on the edge of the bed. After not seeing her for a few days, she seemed to have lost weight. Her thin little body was placed on the huge bed, making her look like a pitiful little girl that was abandoned.
Although she was a mother of three, she was only seventeen years old. Her thin shoulders had carried a heavy burden that they shouldn’t have too early, and people often forget that she was just a little girl.
No one had asked her if it hurt to give birth, if it was difficult to raise a child, or if she was lonely after getting married. It was as if everything had become justified because she was a woman.
Yan Jiuchao pushed the wheelchair over.
Yu Wan knew that he was here. She glanced at him from the corner of her eye, but she did not look up at him. She still looked down at her swaying toes.
Yan Jiuchao’s wheelchair stopped in front of her. He looked at her without blinking and was not in a hurry to speak. However, even if he did not say anything, as long as this man stood here and appeared in front of her, Yu Wan’s eyes would slowly turn red.
“Yan Jiuchao…”
The moment she spoke, her voice choked. The grievances that she did not dare to have in the past few days surged into her heart and drowned her like a tide.
Yan Jiuchao reached out and gently pulled her into his arms. He sighed softly and said, “I’ve only been gone for a few days, but you’ve already tortured yourself to this state. Yu Ah Wan, how will you live without me in the future?”
… .
Yu Wan vented her grievances in his arms for a while. Her eyes and nose were swollen and red, but her mood was indeed much better. Only then did she notice how intimate the two of them were. In the past, she could not even hold his hand in broad daylight.
