Reborn to be married, the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion is so sweet

It was not until dark that Yan Liu's condition stabilized a little and she was able to drink the medicine on her own. Lin Wan then arranged for the servants to send her back to Yurongxuan and take good care of her.

Seeing Yan Liu obeying her arrangements without saying anything or making a fuss, Lin Wan felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

Love is a tormenting thing. Is it really worth it to put yourself into this state for a man?

Fortunately, the child was saved. As long as she could take good care of herself and wait for the child to be born, even if Lu Tingxu was heartless, at least in this mansion, her second half of life would be guaranteed.

Lu Tingxu did not come back all night. Lin Wan sent someone to find him and told him about Yan Liu's situation, but the servant did not even see him. After hearing this, Lin Wan frowned with some disgust.

They had loved each other so passionately before, wishing that everyone in the world would give in for their love. Now they just let it go. Such determination made her feel chilled even though she was just a bystander. Not to mention Yan Liu who was in the middle of it. No wonder she didn't want to live anymore today.

"Forget it. Aunt Yan has come to terms with it now anyway. Let the family take good care of her. The prince is busy outside, so don't bother him anymore." Lin Wan looked at the servant, who had an expression that showed he hadn't done anything well, and comforted him with a few words before letting him go.

"Young Madam, does the Prince...really not care about Aunt Yan anymore?" Qinglian asked hesitantly when she saw that there was no one else in the room.

When Yan Liu first came, she was very arrogant and was pampered by the prince. The maids in Xuguang Pavilion were all envious of her. Later, Yan Yi Niang became pregnant, and everyone felt that with her level of favor and the child, only the young lady could suppress her in the mansion.

But who could have expected that the two of them would completely fall out so soon.

"Who knows? Instead of waiting here for him to change his mind, it's better to live your own life well." Lin Wan said lightly.

Why do you have to put your hope on others? He can be nice to you today and pamper you to the sky, but as long as he is not happy, he can take back all his love for you and find someone else to pamper you. Instead of turning yourself into a resentful woman, waiting for the man to come back all day, it is better to focus on yourself. Whether he comes or not, you are still you!

Nothing happened that night. Early the next morning, Dong Yue brought her maid to Lin Wan's place.

"Good morning, Sister Wan." Dong Yue was wearing a goose yellow spring dress today and a simple pearl flower on her head. She looked simple yet unique and moving.

Lin Wan smiled and motioned her to sit down. "Did you have a good rest yesterday? You just arrived at the mansion, so tell me if there is anything you are not used to."

"Everything is good. I've never lived in such a big room, and the furnishings are so exquisite. Thank you, Sister Wan, for taking care of Yue'er!" Dong Yue couldn't help but tear up when she said this.

"what happened?"

"I just thought of my mother." Dong Yue picked up the handkerchief, pressed the corners of her eyes, and whispered with red eyes: "When I was a child, my father was fighting outside and made some contributions. The family conditions were good, and although my mother was in poor health, she always took good care of the family."

"Sister Wan may not understand my family's situation. I know that my father shamelessly asked Master Lu for help in getting me to live in the Marquis' Mansion. My father was originally a vanguard officer of the Dongying Army, and he relied on brute force to fight for his career. Although he saved up a lot of property, there were no relatives or elders at home, and no one arranged for him to start a family. Later, he was injured and could no longer go to the battlefield. The general arranged for him to join the Jinwu Guard because he had some military achievements on the battlefield."

Dong Yue's expression was slightly moved when she said this. She wiped her tears and smiled, "My maternal grandfather's family was also a family of officials, but unfortunately they declined from generation to generation. When it came to my maternal grandfather, he didn't even pass the imperial examination. However, he developed the habit of studying since he was a child, and he couldn't do anything else. My mother was born a young lady. Our family conditions were poor, but her requirements were high. She didn't get married until she was nearly 20 years old."

"My grandfather was annoyed when he saw that she had grown old and still hadn't married. My father happened to be rich and had an official position. He saw that my mother was beautiful and had a scholarly air, so he came to ask for her hand in marriage. My grandfather readily agreed, without caring about my mother's feelings at all, and agreed to the marriage."

"Since I was born, I have never seen my mother smile. Only when my father was not at home would she teach me to read and write gently. Unfortunately... unfortunately, such gentleness disappeared after I was ten years old. She was depressed for many years, and a simple cold took her life."

After saying this, he covered his face and started crying.

Lin Wan was slightly moved as she watched her sadly talk about her life story. She said in a gentle voice, "I see that although Master Dong is a rough person, he still cares about you very much. Don't be sad, sister. Everything will be fine."

Dong Yue wiped away her tears embarrassedly and smiled, "I know, I said all this not because I want Sister Wan to pity me, but because I am afraid that my sudden move into the mansion will cause trouble for you and the prince, and I am afraid that you will look down on me."

"How could that be? Master Dong is now the prince's master, teaching him martial arts. He is a nobleman of the Marquis's mansion, and you are the daughter of a nobleman. How can you say it's troublesome!"

"Really?" Dong Yue stared at Lin Wan with big eyes and asked carefully, "Sister Wan, can I stay with you for a while longer? Please don't rush to send me back, okay?"

"..."

"I'm alone at home every day, and there's no one to talk to. I can chat with you every day here and learn how to manage the household from you. I was so happy that I slept soundly last night!"

Lin Wan was a little amused and confused. It seemed that she had said so much about her miserable life just for this. The wealth and splendor of the Marquis' Mansion was so alluring that the girl didn't want to leave after coming here.

"It's okay, you can stay longer if you like." Lin Wan's smile was a little more distant than before, but still polite.

"Thank you, Sister Wan!" Dong Yue smiled happily, rolled her eyes, looked at what Lin Wan was wearing, took out a purse from her sleeve, and handed it to her with a smile.

"Sister, the hairpin on your head is really beautiful, and it matches the color of your dress. But there is something missing from the belt. I happened to have embroidered a purse, and I want to give it to you. I hope you don't mind it."

Lin Wan took it with a smile, and saw that it was a purse with a bright red peony pattern embroidered on a moon-white background. The stitching was fine and neat, and the color matching was warm and bold. It just so happened that she was wearing a rouge-colored dress with a gold-backed pattern today, which was indeed a good match.

"This purse is so beautiful. The fine stitching shows that it took a lot of practice. I like it very much!" Lin Wan praised with a smile.

When Dong Yue heard this, she looked at her excitedly, but she saw that Lin Wan was just playing with the purse in her hand and didn't hang it on her belt. She lowered her head with some disappointment.

"I don't have anything nice to give you, sister. I just do some needlework on weekdays, and these are the only little things I can give you. I hope you don't mind."

As she spoke, her tone became aggrieved again. Lin Wan winked at Qinglian, who turned around and went to the inner room, bringing back a tray with several exquisite jewelries on it.

"I also prepared a few gifts for you. I thought these styles would suit you the moment I saw them yesterday, so I specially packed them out last night." Lin Wan smiled and handed the tray to her. "There are also a few pieces of fashionable fabrics. You can take them back and make some clothes."

Dong Yue originally had a wronged expression on her face, but when she saw the exquisite and beautiful jewelry in front of her and heard Lin Wan say that there was more material, she instantly became happy.

"Thank you, Sister Wan!"

"Okay, take the things back first and come over for lunch at noon."
