"Girl, this..." Qiu Tong frowned.

Liu Yuefu made a gesture to keep quiet and walked out quietly. Now was not the time to alert the enemy.

Qiu Tong understood and followed him out. Fortunately, it was Qiu Tong who served him today. Among these girls, she was the most patient and prudent.

If it were Chuntao or Hualing, there would be no way they would not alert the enemy. It was impossible to confront these two people, and that would be a disadvantage.

Now, the enemy is in the open and I am in the dark, isn’t it beautiful?

The master and servant quietly retreated.

After walking for a while and being at such a long distance, it seemed that the two men could not hear them talking.

Liu Yuefu then said, "Just say whatever you want to say."

Qiu Tong hesitated for a while before speaking: "Madam, no matter what you plan to do, I will help you."

Qiu Tong saw the sneer on her face, the mockery in her eyes, and also saw her situation in the mansion. She didn't ask anything, but promised to help her no matter what.

Liu Yuefu's eyes were sore and she almost cried. Qiu Tong will always be Qiu Tong. Liu Yuefu hoped that she would be like this and hoped that she would think more about herself.

She is always sensible, steady, considerate and tactful, just like the nanny beside a noble in the palace.

But she is only two years older than Hualing and one year older than Chuntao.

Liu Yuefu held Qiu Tong's hand, looked at her and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."

But the worry in Qiu Tong's eyes did not disappear.

Liu Yuefu continued, "Don't tell anyone about this, including Chuntao and the others."

Qiu Tong nodded carefully, "Okay, I understand."

The master and servant walked farther and farther away to look for Liu's mother.

When Liu Yuefu saw her mother, she called out, "Mother."

Mother Liu smiled and said, "Sanniang, you came just in time. Look how beautiful the hibiscus flowers are."

Liu Yuefu looked at it, smiled and nodded, saying: "This flower is blooming beautifully."

Liu's mother and Liu Yuefu admired the flowers together for a while. They talked and laughed, and were very happy.

However, not long after, a maid came to look for Liu Yuefu.

The maid in blue bowed, saluted and said, "Madam, it's time to see you off. The old lady asked me to come and tell you, don't keep her and Mr. San waiting."

After Liu Yuefu said goodbye to her mother, she gently raised her hand to the little maid and said, "Let's go."

When Liu Yuefu arrived at the gate, she saw that the old lady was waiting there as expected, but there was no sign of Li Jianzhang.

After a while, Li Jianzhang came and said with a gentle smile: "Something happened and delayed me. Didn't I make my mother and wife wait for me?"

The old lady waved her hand and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, I just got here a while ago."

Liu Yuefu just smiled and agreed, "I've only been here for a while, my dear, don't worry."

Liu Yuefu was contemptuous in her heart, haha, you just said nice things, people who don’t know would think you were out to handle official business, but in fact you were just having a private meeting with Kang Miaoqing.

The three of them expressed their gratitude to everyone who came to the banquet, and the guests also wished the old lady good health, longevity and other auspicious words.

After all this trouble, Liu Yuefu returned to Yuehuaju and fell directly on the beauty couch. She was exhausted after this day.

But her maid Hua Ling was lively and was learning to talk from Chun Tao. Liu Yue Fu also lay on her side to listen to the fun.

Hua Ling smiled and said, "You didn't see it. That lady really pissed off the old lady today."

She imitated the old lady's cold face, "Is this how you do things?! You are really my good daughter-in-law."

She imitated Wu Ximei, knelt down, and said, "It's all my fault. I hope mother won't get angry and hurt herself."

Then he imitated the old lady's cold snort, and Hua Ling's nostrils were about to turn up to the sky.

Then she imitated Wu Ximei and said calmly, "Mother, think about it carefully. Maybe I remembered it wrongly. I originally planned to appreciate the flowers, not sing an opera."

"You don't know, the ladies and girls on the side were whispering when they heard this. Hahaha, the old lady's face turned green." Hua Ling said this and laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back.

Chuntao covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "Madam, you are really amazing. You made the old lady suffer and bear the reputation of being stupid."

"Sister Chuntao, you didn't see that the old lady's face turned green, but when you look at the chrysanthemums prepared by the lady in the garden, there are all kinds of them, especially the rare flowers like the ten-foot curtain and the green peony. Especially..."

"Hahahaha...just wait for me to laugh for a while before you talk."

Hua Ling imitated Wu Ximei's apologetic look and said, "I forgot to remind mother. It's my fault. I was in charge of all matters, and this is the first time I have held such a big birthday party. I hope mother will forgive me."

"You didn't see that. The old lady's face turned even greener, but she didn't seem to be able to get angry. It was really interesting." Hua Ling said playfully.

"After all, the eldest lady has been humble. If she loses her temper, she will be branded as a wicked mother-in-law, which is not worth it." Liu Yuefu said with a smile.

"Yes, ma'am is right. No wonder the old lady's face turned so green. She had to cooperate with the lady and make an expression as if I had forgotten about this. It's a pity that you didn't see what happened today." Hua Ling said.

Liu Yuefu smiled but secretly thought that Wu Ximei was very clever. At that time, there were so many female relatives present. Although the old lady was angry that she acted first and reported later, she could do nothing about it.

Was this something Wu Ximei had planned long ago? Or was it really an accident? She knew very well that the old lady loved watching plays and would definitely not agree to her suggestion to change to flower appreciation. However, if she did it, what could she do to her? At most, she could punish her after the banquet.

Is she really just an ordinary peasant woman? She is so flexible and slick. It seems that I have to get to know this lady again.

Fortunately, I turned down the birthday party for the old lady this time, and I didn't faint or have a miscarriage due to overwork. Liu Yuefu touched her smooth belly and said, "My child, this time, I will definitely protect you."

Two days later, in Wei Suxin's courtyard, Li Jianzhang and Wei Suxin were cuddling each other on the beauty couch. Li Jianzhang fed Wei Suxin grapes one by one, and Wei Suxin would feed him one from time to time, and the two of them were very close to each other.

Li Jianzhang said as he ate, "This is a private dinner among colleagues. You know, it's just a social event. You don't need to go. It's inconvenient."

"I heard from the wife of the chief clerk who often comes to my shop that they all bring their wives with them. Why don't you let me go?" Wei Suxin pouted and said unhappily, "I know the wives of your colleagues very well. They are all frequent customers of my shop. Why is it inconvenient for me to go?"

Li Jianzhang took out a golden hairpin from his bosom and handed it to Wei Suxin, intending to coax her: "This is for you, don't be angry, my wife is the best. Just listen to me this time and let Liu Yuefu go. It's just a social event, and you don't like socializing with those noble ladies."

Wei Su's heart was nestled in Li Jianzhang's arms, holding the golden hairpin in her hand and looking at it. After hearing what he said, she nodded and reluctantly agreed.

Li Jianzhang looked at Wei Suxin lovingly: "Our Madam Wei is the most considerate."

"That is."

Wei Suxin felt that Li Jianzhang still understood her, and this was for her own good. She really didn't like socializing with those noble ladies who put on airs. He was afraid that she would be angry, so he gave her a gold hairpin, and Wei Suxin instantly felt sweet in her heart.

The next day, Li Jianzhang came back from work and went to Yuehuaju.

Liu Yuefu was taking off her hairpins and rings. She stood up to greet him and said, "My dear husband, please sit down. Chuntao, serve him a cup of Rain-previous Longjing, which my dear husband likes to drink."

Li Jianzhang had a warm smile on his face and said, "No need, I'll be leaving soon. Just go do your thing."

Liu Yuefu then sat down and continued to take off the hairpins and rings.

Li Jianzhang took out a wooden gift box and opened it to reveal a light yellow straight-collared jacket with gold threads and embellishments of pearls and sapphires. "Madam, take a look at this dress. Your husband personally selected it at the clothing store. Do you like it?"

The two maids, Hua Ling and Chun Tao, standing by were also used to seeing good things, and their eyes lit up.

Liu Yuefu was a little surprised. Li Jianzhang had never given her clothes before. Was this the case?

This didn’t happen in my previous life, probably because I didn’t faint and be bedridden in this life.

"Yue Fu, I want you to accompany me to a family dinner hosted by a colleague tomorrow." Li Jianzhang said.

Oh, this guy just wanted to ask Liu Yuefu for something, so he sent such gorgeous clothes.

Liu Yuefu nodded, "Okay."

Li Jianzhang achieved his goal and said goodbye and left.

The next morning, Chun Tao helped Liu Yuefu change her clothes as usual. "Madam, this dress is very beautiful, but it is a little too small for you to wear. I will take it off for you first and let you wear it after you have adjusted your size."

"Okay, take it off for me first."

After a while, Chuntao finished measuring the clothes and then helped Liu Yuefu change her clothes and do her makeup.

Normally, Liu Yuefu didn't wear any makeup all day long. She didn't like to wear make-up. But today, she was going to a banquet, so Hua Ling coaxed her to put on some blush and lipstick.

Liu Yuefu had just finished dressing up when Li Jianzhang walked in.

"My wife is so beautiful." Li Jianzhang praised.

"This goose yellow dress is both bright and noble. It looks good on you." Li Jianzhang praised the beautiful Liu Yuefu with red lips and white teeth.

"It's a pity that this dress is a little small. If Chuntao hadn't increased the size of the dress, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to wear it." Liu Yuefu said.

Li Jianzhang said apologetically, "Yuefu, it's my husband's fault. I may have remembered the wrong size given by Mother Zhao."

The two of them went together to the home of Cao Sicheng, another Dali Temple Secretary, located in the east of the city.

As soon as they arrived at the door, Li Jianzhang got out of the car first, and then gentlemanly extended his hand to help Liu Yuefu get out of the car. After getting out of the car, Li Jianzhang held Liu Yuefu's hand tightly.

Liu Yuefu frowned slightly, but she didn't pull her hand back in the end. After all, it was acting. Everyone knows how to act. If she turned her face away from Li Jianzhang here, she would only affect her reputation.

Cao Sicheng and his wife were outside to greet them. When they saw the two of them coming together, Mrs. Cao covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled and joked, "Lord Li and Mrs. Li are really a couple from heaven. We envy them. After so many years, they are still very much in love."

Liu Yuefu smiled and said, "Lord Cao and Madam Cao are really enviable. They have both a son and a daughter. The eldest son of the Cao family is also very outstanding. I heard that he has passed the examination for a Tongsheng at such a young age. I'm afraid he will become the top scholar in the future. The young are really to be feared."

When Lord Cao and Madam Cao heard this, Lord Cao stroked his beard unconsciously, looking quite pleased with himself, while Madam Cao smiled even more happily. Madam Cao smiled and said, "Madam Liu is really good at talking. I will borrow your good words, but my boy still has a lot of work to do."

After Madam Cao finished speaking, she signaled the maid to lead Liu Yuefu to the backyard where the ladies were playing. Li Jianzhang naturally followed the servant to the front yard to socialize with his colleagues.

After some socializing, both the guests and the hosts were very happy.

When I returned to Yuehuaju, the lights were already on.

"Madam is back. You must be tired." Qiu Tong helped Liu Yuefu change her clothes and winked at Chun Tao.

"Madam..." Chuntao just called Liu Yuefu, but was interrupted by Liu Yuefu before she could finish her words.

"Chun Tao, go and take a rest. You've worked hard today." Liu Yuefu knew what Qiu Tong and Chun Tao meant.

After changing her clothes, Liu Yuefu sat on the couch and drank some water.

Qiu Tong handed over a note and said, "Madam, this is the note and a gold hairpin that Madam Wei's maid handed over today."

Liu Yuefu took it and looked at it. The note read: Is the food delicious? I don't want to go. Does the dress fit? It was made according to my size.

It turns out that this dress belongs to Wei Suxin.

This message... is hard to comment on.

Liu Yuefu took the hairpin and looked at it again. It was a very ordinary basic style, nothing special.

"Qiuting, didn't Madam Wei's maid say anything?" Liu Yuefu asked.

Qiu Tong replied calmly, "To answer the Madam, she only said that you should find a chance to return the hairpin after reading it."

Qiu Tong paused and added, "She also said that you will know everything after reading the post."

Liu Yuefu spread out the post again and found a line of small words on the right side of the post: Haha, you must have been looking for it for a long time. You must have read the golden hairpin. Do you have it? Li Lang gave it to me. Return it to me tomorrow after you finish reading it!

What's that next to it? It looks like a stick figure with his hands on his hips... It's really fresh.

Liu Yuefu was amused by Wei Suxin. She seemed to be very efficient in doing business, but why did she like to show off so much? She was really childish. You are not afraid that I will take your hairpin and not give it to you. What can you do to me?

Liu Yuefu smiled and closed the post.

On the other side, there is the villa where Wei Suxin lives.

"She's wearing my custom-made clothes and going to the banquet with my man. I'm going to disgust her to death." Wei Suxin said with a raised face.

Qian Dai lowered her head and said silently: "Girl, it's not good for you to do this..."

Wei Suxin interrupted Qiandai before she finished speaking: "What's wrong?"

Qian Dai said patiently, "Miss, your current status is just that of a concubine. Liu Yuefu is the mistress of the Li family, so it is perfectly legitimate for her to attend the banquet with Lord Li."

Wei Suxin snorted softly: "My dear Qiandai, are you still mine?"

Wei Suxin held Qiandai's hand and shook it, "Is it? Is it?"

Qian Dai had no choice but to say, "Yes, yes, yes."

Wei Suxin then stopped.

She went on slowly, "Qiandai, when I met Li Lang, he was just a poor scholar without a family. He promised me that he would marry me after I passed the imperial examination. Tell me, how did things turn out like this?..." The light in Wei Suxin's eyes gradually dimmed, and her voice became softer and softer, revealing a confused and helpless expression.

Qian Dai hugged her master distressedly. Wei Suxin's head was in Qian Dai's arms, she murmured softly: "How did it become like this? How did it become like this..."
