After lunch, Wen Siyu took Yun Wu to the backyard, saying that she had received a letter from Wen Jingnian that day, so she hurriedly took Yun Wu to read it.

Mrs. Wen originally found an excuse to let Jiang Yanzhi stay a little longer and find a chance for him to have more contact with Wen Siyu.

As a result, Jiang Yanzhi declined this time, responded lightly with official business, and then left with his adjutant.

When he was about to leave, he stood in the corridor and turned around, only to see Yun Wu being pulled towards the backyard by Wen Siyu.

She seemed to be aware of the gaze behind her and turned her head away, but soon turned away again, as if she didn't see Jiang Yanzhi.

Jiang Yanzhi frowned slightly. He vaguely guessed that Yun Wu seemed angry.

Yun Wu's figure had disappeared in the corridor over there. He then withdrew his gaze and strode towards the door.

The adjutant hurriedly followed behind him, scratching his head, unable to understand what had happened to his young master.

He was fine just now, but in the blink of an eye, he was in a bad mood. Forget it, forget it. The young master may have these unpredictable days every month...

Wen Jingnian went abroad to study half a year ago and would occasionally send letters home. This time was the third time he had sent a letter. He also sent gifts for Wen Siyu and Mrs. Wen, all of which were foreign products.

But this time, there was still no letter to Yun Wu.

"My brother is really something. He probably doesn't even know that you've come to North City."

Wen Siyu said quickly. She looked at Yun Wu carefully, and was relieved to see that her expression did not change much. Then she smiled and said:

"I plan to write a letter to my brother. Why don't you write one too, Sister Yun? That way, my brother will know that you are still waiting for him to come back home. When my brother returns to North City, I will definitely teach him a lesson for you!"

"it is good……"

Yun Wu then raised her head, smiled faintly and nodded, with a hint of distress in her beautiful eyes.

Although she was engaged to Wen Siyu's brother Wen Jingnian, the last time they met was when they were children. When she came to Beicheng, Wen Jingnian happened to be abroad, so she had never met him again.

Wen Siyu asked her to write a letter, but she didn't know what to write for a moment...

Just at this time Xiaotao said that the medicine was ready, so Yun Wu and Xiaotao went to the yard where they lived first.

When passing by a corridor, she heard the voices of two or three maids chatting behind a corner not far away.

"The young master's letter arrived today. It includes letters for the master, his wife, and the young lady, but there is no letter for the one who came to beg for money."

Yun Wu’s footsteps suddenly paused. The “one who is taking advantage of others” that the maid was referring to was her.

Xiao Tao also reacted and immediately wanted to rush over to teach them a lesson, but was stopped by Yun Wu. Two or three people over there were still chatting.

"Didn't the young master choose to study abroad because of this child marriage? I heard that the Yun family's daughter was going to be taken away, so the young master went abroad..."

"Yes, if the person from the Yun family hadn't come, the young master wouldn't have run away to hide."

"It's just right that the young master doesn't like her. I don't like her either. She wraps herself up tightly all day long. She's really a bumpkin..."

"Yes, yes, it's a pity that this marriage was arranged by the master a few years ago..."

After that, the two or three maids walked away chatting, and Xiao Tao angrily punched and kicked them as they walked away.

"Miss, don't listen to their nonsense. I'll go talk to the butler and ask him to teach those people a lesson."

"Forget it, Xiaotao...if we don't go back now, the medicine will be cold. Let's go."

Yun Wu's voice was soft, and there was an indelible sadness on her pretty face, but she still smiled at Xiao Tao.

Those people are servants of the Wen family. Moreover, there is no evidence. Even if Xiaotao goes to find the housekeeper, it may not be possible to severely punish those people. This is the Wen family, not the Yun family.

Yun Wu returned to the small courtyard where she lived. After drinking the medicine prepared by Xiao Tao, she began to read the two books she had bought, learning to recognize words while reading.

In the past she was taught that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent, but now she wants to learn to read and write, and after teaching herself for half a year she has learned to write a little.

Time passed quickly, the night gradually deepened, and Yun Wu turned off the lights and lay on the bed to rest.

For some reason she couldn't sleep tonight, perhaps because of what she heard the maids say during the day.

"Wen Jingnian..."

She murmured the name in a low voice. She only found out today that it was because of her existence that Wen Jingnian left Beicheng to study abroad.

The delicate girl realized that her future significant other didn't seem to like her, nor did he like their marriage...

Although Yun Wu had no feelings for Wen Jingnian, she still had some expectations for her future husband when she came to Beicheng because of her parents' orders and the matchmaker's words.

But now it seems that she has become a nuisance to others. In addition, she is an outsider in the Wen family after all, and she is always cautious and afraid that others will dislike her. Today, she heard what those two or three servants said...

When Yun Wu is in a bad mood, she will think of her father and mother. If they were still alive, would she not have to come to Beicheng?

Her nose felt sore and tears welled up in her eyes. Yun Wu hid under the quilt and cried quietly, closing her eyes tightly and trying to get rid of the sad mood by falling asleep.

Just at this moment, there were two knocks on the window, and then she heard the sound of someone climbing in through the window.

"it's me."

A very light voice came from behind Yun Wu, and she slowly sat up from the bed.

"I know it is you……"

Only Jiang Yanzhi would dare to climb into her room through the window in the middle of the night.

She sat up and looked up, and sure enough, she saw Jiang Yanzhi climbing in through the window and walking towards her.

The lights were on in the room. Jiang Yanzhi walked closer and was able to clearly see the face of the girl sitting on the bed.

Her long hair was draped in front of her, her cheeks were fair and her features were delicate, but her eyes were slightly red, and under the moonlight, one could clearly see the traces of tears on her face that had not yet been wiped away.

"You cried."

Jiang Yanzhi's tone was a little stiff, and his pale eyes looked at Yun Wu in a daze.

He thought about the little thing he did when he stayed at the Wen family for lunch today, which made Yun Wu angry, and he couldn't help but frowned slightly.

Yun Wu quickly raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, then wrapped the quilt more tightly around her body, leaving only her palm-sized face exposed.

"You, why are you here again..."

Perhaps because she had just cried, her voice was soft, trembling, and had a hint of tears in it.

The room was quiet for a while, and suddenly there was a "bang". Yun Wu stared blankly at Jiang Yanzhi who suddenly knelt down in front of her.

The sound of him kneeling down just now was so crisp, I'm afraid his knees must have been bruised...

Jiang Yanzhi seemed not to feel any pain. He knelt on the ground with his back straight, his thin lips tightly pursed, staring at Yun, his brows furrowed.

He, the Little King of Hell in North City, has always been eccentric and fearless, but when he saw Yun Wu's red eyes from crying, he panicked.

The next second, Jiang Yanzhi lowered his eyes dejectedly, and his head drooped, looking pitiful like a puppy who had done something wrong and was abandoned.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong..."

He shouldn't have been so happy just because Awu was wearing the bracelet that he did something small under other people's noses, making Awu worried.
