Chapter 341 Mu Ai’s Feelings
These days, Zhuxiang Yayuan is the busiest it has been since Xu Rongrong moved in.
The reason is simple. Princess Ping'an of the Great Zhou is about to marry Marquis Weiyuan. This is a big event for both the royal family and the dignitaries in the capital. Marquis Weiyuan is cold and sullen and has always been difficult to approach. In comparison, Princess Ping'an is much easier to get along with.
As a result, more and more people wanted to make friends.
However, Xu Rongrong had lived two lives, and while she hadn't accumulated much experience, she had witnessed the interactions between aristocratic families. She knew that those who came to befriend her were likely those who wanted to make a move on Mu Rong in the future, so she kept a distance from them. Even if they were given a gift that she couldn't refuse, she would return it with a gift of equal value. This way, no matter now or in the future, there would be no fault to be found, and Mu Rong wouldn't face any hidden dangers. Internally, Matron Xiao was also an expert in managing the household, having previously befriended several matrons from the powerful families in the capital.
In the past, she was just an ordinary old woman, so the maids from the powerful families naturally seldom took her seriously. But now, she is the most useful maid beside Princess Ping'an, and in the future she will have to go to the Marquis' Mansion to take care of the internal affairs. Therefore, those who looked down on her in the past naturally started to curry favor with her.
She didn't dare accept any gifts of real money, but she also asked a lot about the rituals and etiquette of the wedding ceremony.
Therefore, all affairs are in order and have rules.
Nanny Xiao was busy as hell here, but Wen Yao was nowhere to be seen on the other side.
Xu Rongrong asked curiously, "Why is Wen Yao gone? Did she leave the house?"
Luo Shu covered his mouth and chuckled: "Deputy General Ai came here today to do some work. I'm afraid Wen Yao is hiding from him again."
Xu Rongrong shook her head helplessly when she heard this. Wen Yao was a bit of a weird girl, so Mu Ai could only hope for the best.
……
Luo Shu’s prediction was correct.
At this time, Wen Yao was hiding behind the flower stand in the garden.
These days, Mu Ai came to Zhuxiang Yayuan whenever he had time, under the pretext of preparing for the wedding of his own master, but everyone knew that he had other intentions.
Whenever they met, his gaze seemed to be glued to Wen Yao, like a shadow following her everywhere.
Wen Yao had no choice. She couldn't hide in the backyard forever, so she could only be cautious and hide quickly whenever she saw his shadow.
It was the same today. She had just entered the garden to get something and was about to come back when she saw Mu Ai's figure flash by. So without thinking much, she hid behind the flower stand nearby.
Although the sun is strong, it is shady here, so nothing will happen for the time being.
Except - there were a few fat caterpillars hiding in the flowers.
Luo Shu had always been terrified of these soft, sticky things. Every time he saw one, his hair would immediately stand on end. And what about hiding among them today?!
But because Mu Ai didn't go far, she had no choice but to close her eyes, grit her teeth and endure, constantly repeating, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."
But the caterpillars seemed to see her fear and began to wriggle more wildly. One of them moved to the top of the flower stand, as if it would fall on her head at any time.
Wen Yao squatted under the shelf, his hands clasped around his shoulders, not daring to make a sound.
But the next moment, something seemed to suddenly fall on her head.
Wen Yao almost jumped up! Her body was shaking violently. After being terrified to the extreme, she was completely motionless, unable to even scream.
Just when she was about to collapse, a hand reached out and took off the thing that fell on her head.
Then I heard a male voice behind me: "Even if you are so scared, you don't want to see me, right?"
Wen Yao turned around.
Mu Ai was standing behind her, with a fallen leaf in his palm.
It was this leaf that just fell on her head.
The girl who was frightened like this by a leaf was so cold and indifferent when facing him.
He looked at Wen Yao with burning eyes, but the girl had not yet recovered from her fear. She looked at Mu Ai in a daze, unable to speak for a moment.
Mu Ai helplessly threw away the leaf in his hand, and with a wave of his hand, all the caterpillars in the flowers were blown away by his internal force.
Then, he extended his hand to Wen Yao: "Don't be afraid, it's okay."
Wen Yao lowered his head to look at his slightly calloused palms and said softly, "Thank you."
Then she lifted her skirt and walked out from behind the flower stand.
Mu Ai pulled his hand back helplessly: "Don't hide from me anymore, okay?"
Wen Yao felt very uncomfortable that the first guard beside Weiyuan Hou, the deputy general with great military achievements, spoke to her so cautiously.
She gathered herself together and raised her head: "Deputy General Ai, don't you know why I'm hiding from you?"
Mu Ai's eyes dimmed, and he whispered, "Just because I like you?"
Wen Yao looked at him, "I am a servant of the Xu family. My parents are both dead, leaving me with no one to rely on. Fortunately, the young lady took a liking to me and has always kept me by her side, teaching me with great care... I will never abandon my young lady. Secondly, you, Deputy General Ai, are so famous. I have heard that if you want to enter the government, you can choose a military general of the third rank or above. I am just an illiterate maid in the inner chamber. Even if the young lady cancels my slave status, my background cannot be changed. There is a huge gap between you and me, both in status and knowledge, and I am not a good match for you, Deputy General Ai!"
"Are these your true words?" Mu Ai asked?
"Exactly."
"But all you talked about was insignificant things like status and experience, but you didn't mention a single word that you didn't like me!"
"How can it be such an insignificant matter..."
"Then have you never been attracted to me?" Mu Ai interrupted Wen Yao.
Wen Yao was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Mu Ai smiled bitterly and said, "I want you to say that sentence yourself."
Wen Yao hesitated for a long time. She turned away from him and whispered, "I'm not happy..."
The next moment, her mouth was blocked.
Mu Ai's kiss was fierce and aggressive. Since it was his first time kissing a woman, he kissed her fiercely and hastily, without any sense of rhythm.
He pushed her directly onto the flower stand, pressing her down, and kissed her until she was almost out of breath. Then he let go and said, "I don't believe it."
Wen Yao was both embarrassed and annoyed. She pushed the person away and tried to run away.
But the next moment, Mu Ai grabbed her by the waist and hugged her: "If you can't make things clear today, I won't let you go."
Wen Yao was furious: "I have already said what I want to say. It is obvious that Deputy General Ai does not believe it!"
Mu Ai pulled her over with force, looked at her red lips that he had just kissed, and his throat rolled a few times:
"You've finished what you're saying, but I haven't finished what I'm saying yet."
"Wen Yao, I, Mu Ai, love you so much that I sincerely want to marry you. I will never let you down for the rest of my life!"
