Chapter 203: Chapter 203 - Finally a Couple
Chapter 203 Finally a Couple

In the Hexiang Courtyard, the old madam was tired from guarding the tricks of the Sun family . The second madam sent her servant to beg Yuanyang several times before she finally agreed to ask the old madam about it .

“Always causing troubles . ” The old madam was resting on a couch, with soothing incense burning on the red-paint tea table next to her . She had a headache recently, so she hadn’t rested well for quite a while .

“Old madam, so you’re not seeing them?” Yuanyang asked as she was about to send the servant girl off .

“Forget it,” The old madam straightened up and stopped Yuanyang, “Let her in . ”

Soon, the second madam hurried in with four nannies . The nannies were separated into two groups, keeping watch on Li Jiaxuan and Maner . They smartly went out as soon as they came inside the room .

“What’s the matter this time?” The old madam was annoyed . “You’ve never been settled ever since your marriage . ” Even though both her biological sons, Prince Ning had a completely different character with the second master Leng . Moreover, Li, second master Leng’s wife, was a dominant woman . It was natural that the old madam likes prince Ning more .

“Don’t make fun of me,” The second madam Li smiled flatteringly . “It’s all for the good of the mansion . If what happened today was leaked, it’ll be bad for the mansion’s reputation . ” The second madam looked at Li Jiaxuan and Maner, then told the old madam what happened in the pavilion, with lots of her own interpretations . At last, she said firmly, “There have been rumors in the streets that there are many paintings of the third young madam in a painting house in the royal city . Today, the servant girl of the third young madam acts so close with Mr . Li . Old madam, you really can’t blame me for thinking too much . ”

“You just said that this Mr . Li was having some time with this servant girl, what does it have to do with Yunuan?” Li’s words were apparently illogical and exaggerating . The old madam could tell that it was problematic .

Li opened her mouth and only said after a while, “This servant girl is close to Qin Yunuan . Mr . Li has a feeling for Qin Yunuan for a long time . If it wasn’t for Qin Yunuan, how could he approach the servant girl?”

Li Jiaxuan argued with a blush on his face, “I’m just a friend with third young madam . I didn’t do anything inappropriate . ”

“See,” The second madam covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed, “If you don’t have a feeling for Qin Yunuan, why do you defend her so anxiously?”

“Third young madam has done nothing wrong . You’re the one who frames her first . ” Maner could help but said .

“How dare you call me ‘you’? You’re no more than a servant, don’t you know who’s in charge here?” The second madam said angrily . Then she suddenly reacted something, and she turned to the serious old madam and smiled, “What do you think, old madam?”

“Surely you should know who’s in charge here . ” The old madam sneered and looked at the second madam . Then she turned her glance to Li Jiaxuan . “Mr . Li is our guest . We should treat him politely . As for the servant girl,” The old madam turned to Maner, “For whatever reason, it’s against the rules to meet a man alone in the backyard . I can’t pretend that nothing happened, even if you’re Yunuan’s servant girl . You shall be beaten . ”

“Old madam, it’s nothing to do with her . ” Li Jiaxuan didn’t want to harm the innocent Maner . “It’s just that I have something to ask for, and Maner came to tell me to obey the rules . Old madam, please don’t blame the innocent . ”

“A rule is a rule . ” The old madam was determined about it . She signaled to Yuanyang, and people came in to drag Maner away . The old madam looked at the second madam, “Are you satisfied now?”

Apparently, the second madam wanted more than this . The old madam was clearly defending Qin Yunuan by closing the case so quickly .

The sound of slaps came in soon . The three-inch-thick timber plank was extremely rigid, and it could really hurt when hitting on flesh . Suddenly, the muffled sound stopped, and the sound of someone breaking the plank came next .

“Guard Leng, this is the old madam’s order . I hope you won’t disturb us . ”

“I want to see the old madam . ” Leng Wu’s voice was cold but powerful .

“The old madam is talking to the second madam . ”

“Piss off! I said I want to see the old madam . ”

The door curtain was opened in the next moment . Leng Wu held Maner across his chest and appeared at the door . There was sweat on Maner’s forehead, and she fainted .

“How dare you? Don’t you know what this place is? It’s not somewhere that a guard like you could enter on your own wish . ” The second madam yelled .

Leng Wu didn’t bother looking at second madam, and he held Maner close to his chest . He loosened a badge from his waist and kicked it with his heel to Yuanyang . Yuan held it with her hands . It was a fourth-class guard badge granted by the imperial court .

“I’m now seeing the first-class madam Jingguo as a fourth-class guard . ” Leng Wu looked at the second madam, “As for you, the second madam, you have no title nor classes . I don’t have to ask for your approval . ”

The second madam was embarrassed and said with a low volume, “Surely one becomes rude if he stays with a military man for too long . ”

The old madam didn’t even raise her head, “It’s a special way to see me . ”

Leng Wu slowly put Maner in a chair . His eyes were bright as he suddenly knelt to the ground, determined . The loud thump daunted the other servant girls in the room . Leng Wu seriously kowtowed thrice to the old madam and said, “Old madam, Leng Wu wants you to assign a marriage for me . ”

The old madam raised her brows, “Don’t tell me that you’re marrying this servant girl . ”

Leng Wu raised his head and said extremely firmly, “I’ll marry no one else . ”

“It’s not worth it . ” The old madam took a sip of tea .

“It’s worthy as long as I find it worthy . ”

The old madam sneered, “Young people like you always live in fantasies . There’s a law in Qi that officials can’t marry servants . Servant girls like Maner, who was sold into the mansions since young, always sign live and death contracts with them, which means that she is a servant for the rest of her life . If you want to marry her, either you become a servant, or it’s impossible . ” The old madam twitched her mouth in disdain, “Think about it . You’re a fourth-class guard . This is a title that so many people would dream of . You need to be certain about it . ”

Leng Wu said without any hesitation, “I’ve made up my mind . ”

The old madam turned her head away, “Well, I have no say in this, though . Maner’s live and death contract is with the Qin family . Her belongings are also a decision of the Qin family . ”

Leng Wu was sad, but a soft woman’s voice came in, “Not necessarily . ”

“Third young madam . ” The servant girls outside greeted her as she came close .

“Greetings, old madam, and second madam . ” Qin Yunuan smiled like a breeze in spring . It was refreshing . But it all seemed like teasing to the second madam .

“It’s nice of you to talk with the old madam even when it’s so late already . ” Qin Yunuan smiled towards the second madam, but the second madam sneered hostilely .

Seeing Qin Yunuan, the old madam’s expression relaxed a bit . She just pointed at Maner, who was still fainted and said, “You’re to decide the belonging of a Qin family servant girl . ”

“I heard it all just now . ” Qin Yunuan looked at Leng Wu . “In face, Maner is not a servant . ”

People were stunned, as they heard Qin Yunuan continued, “I was having a hard time with my mother in the back room of Qin’s Mansion back then . My mother was kind, so she took out all the live and death contracts of the servants and set them free . Maner and nurse Liao were the only ones who stayed . However, mother didn’t want to restrict them, so she burnt their contracts . ”

“Huh,” The second madam laughed, covering her face, “Which means that this girl doesn’t have an identity? That’s even worse than a servant . She should be sent to the officials . ”

“Not anymore . ” Leng Changxi appeared at the door before anyone had noticed, with a brand-new identity certificate in his hands . “Fifteen minutes ago, Maner had become the fourth Miss of the Shang family, who had gone missing twenty years ago . She’s now a daughter of an official, which will make a perfect match with Leng Wu . ”

The second madam wasn’t satisfied, “But she didn’t have an identity for the past many years . ”

Leng Changxi shrugged, “So what? Not anymore . ”

“You…” The second madam was speechless .

“Alright . If everything is settled, then return to your own places . I’m old now, and I just want some rest . ” The old madam rubbed her brows . Lately, her headache was getting more severe . Even Sun Miaoyang can’t improve her situation . Perhaps there was too much for her to worry about .

“Then what about my wedding and the maner?” Leng Wu asked rigidly .

“Dummy,” Maner had woken up and opened her eyes . She pinched Leng Wu’s arm lightly, “Everyone had understood, yet you’re still asking . ”

Leng Wu was embarrassed, while Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan looked at each other and smiled .

Everything was perfectly solved . Even Maner had regained her consciousness, Leng Wu wouldn’t allow her to walk back on her own . He didn’t care that so many people were watching them, and he put Maner on his back . Maner was shy and blushed .

“Look at him, third young madam . ”

“He likes you a lot, so he naturally wants to treat you well . Just accept it . ” Qin Yunuan smiled . The determination and directness of Leng Wu were just like Leng Changxi .

The second madam was naturally dissatisfied . However, with Leng Changxi on Qin Yunuan’s side, she couldn’t even say nasty words to her .

A while later, when they were about to arrive at Jiyu Pavillion, some rapid foot sounded behind them .

Qin Yunuan turned back and stunned, “Yuanyang? Why are you here?”

Yuanyang said with a low voice, “Third young madam, the old madam had a heartache, and she wants Doctor Sun . ”

Qin Yunuan immediately turned around and was about to ask the nanny guarding the door to invite Sun Miaoyang . However, Yuanyang stopped her and said, “Third young madam, what the old madam means was to tell no one else about it . It would be best if only you, Doctor Sun, and third young master know . ”

Qin Yunuan frowned . The old madam had been unwell recently . Everyone knew about Sun Miaoyang treating her in the past . Now that the old madam wanted to hide it, the situation must be quite severe .
