Last night it snowed, the old madam worried that the young lady would get cold, so she specially asked the kitchen to cook some osmanthus jelly and have us bring it to Miss Wang. 。Jade glanced past the smiling face of the little maidservant, as if she hadn't heard what had just been said, and motioned for Zi to speak: "Thank you both..." 。Please put it in. 。The little maid with red dress kept smiling and apologizing, while the one dressed in lake green, knowing she had caused trouble, bowed her head silently and went inside to report. 。Even someone as arrogant as him knows his own worth. That person, no matter what they do, is a benefactor of the Fu family and grew up with the Marquis together. They are nothing more than childhood sweethearts at best, probably not even as important as the future Countess. 。The third young miss of Yongping Hou's mansion, looking at the wind and waiting for her mistress, might not be able to compare to this person. 。Although it wasn't explicitly stated, everyone in the Fu family, including Hou Zhenyuan, tacitly agreed that Wang Yanqing would continue to stay with the Fu family. 。The Marquis is a high-ranking marquis, and his main wife should be a noblewoman from a prominent family. But Wang Yanqing has been with him for many years, so it wouldn't be amiss if she stayed on as a concubine. 。After they entered, the two did not dare to raise their heads. They only caught a glimpse of Dabaoge and a figure beside it. Immediately, they crouched down and bowed to Wang Yanqing: "Servants greet the young lady, may the young lady live long and prosper." 。After a moment, a soft voice spoke: "Rise." 。The sound is very unique. It's not the crisp, bell-like quality that elders prefer, nor the soft and mellow tone that men like. It's more like snow outside—quiet and serene, unassuming yet unforgettable once heard. 。The two maidservants thanked them and slowly rose. 。The maidservant with emerald green clothes borrowed a book and stealthily glanced at him. He sat cross-legged on the Buddhist bed, his shoulders slender like blades, waist as fine as a willow branch, neck delicate, and hands resting upon his feet, making his limbs appear particularly long. 。Turning her face, her facial features became even more prominent. Her nose was high and straight, her face pale, and her jawline flowed down in a near-straight line, clean and aloof. 。Such an appearance, it's not something that can be created with any rouge or powder. No wonder the Marquis likes her. 。The maid in green felt disheartened. She forced a smile and bid farewell to Wang Yanqing before quickly retreating. 。After the two maidservants left, Fei Cui’s anger could no longer be contained. She fumed, “These maids are truly out of line! To dare gossip about the young mistress behind her back! I must report this to the Marquis and have them beaten!”“They’re just a bunch of lowly maidservants, who stay within these four walls. What use is beating them” Wang Yanqing put down her soup spoon, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and a smile seemed to flicker across her face. “It was likely Old Madam who wanted me to hear these words. You can use Second Brother’s hand to discipline the maidservants, but can you also discipline Old Madam”Fei Cui instantly fell silent, staring at Wang Yanqing, her lips moving as if she wanted to speak, but holding back with great reluctance. “Miss…”Wang Yanqing lowered her eyes, her gaze as calm and still as a sheet of ice, without the slightest ripple... 。filial piety comes before heaven, after all, they are still family. Besides, doesn't Fu Tingzhou really not know,Just so happens that Wang Yanqing is about the same age as Fu Tingzhou, so Fu Yue placed the two children beside each other and personally raised them. 。Speaking of this, there's actually another case... 。Fu Yue often fought on the battlefield for years at a time, going home only after several years of war. 。Fu Yue's son, Fu Chang, was spoiled by his elderly wife. Later, he moved to the capital and had a son with the Marquis's son. Gradually, he developed a bad habit. 。After Fu Yue was transferred back to the capital from Datong, seeing his son sleep in flowers and willows, gamble and ride horses wildly, he was furious. 。But by then Fu Chang was nearly thirty. What use was there in trying to change him Fu Yue had beaten and scolded him, but nothing worked. Unable to correct him any further, he chose to ignore him and focused on teaching his grandson instead. 。These years, his battles have been arduous. He must absolutely not let the vast family business fall into the hands of prodigal grandchildren. 。Luckily, Fu Tingzhou is still young, so it's not too late to teach him now. 。Wang Yanqing arrived at the Fu family at this time. 。Fu Yue let Fu Tingzhou and Wang Yanqing address each other as siblings, personally teaching them reading and martial arts. In his spare time, he took Fu Tingzhou to visit colleagues and comrades-in-arms, tidying himself up a little bit... 。Wang Yanqing understood his position very well. He was the son of Fu Yue's subordinate, and he was far from the Fu family. 。Fu Yue remembered the kindness of saving his life and wanted to raise the child by his side, but he had to understand that Fu Yue was teaching his grandson, just as a side effect. 。So Wang Yanqing studied very diligently, Fu Tingzhou learned whatever he learned, never complaining. 。When Fu Tingzhou went to the training ground, his maidservants all said that Wang Yanqing, as a young lady, shouldn't endure such hardship. But Wang Yanqing remained silent and insisted on continuing. 。The Wang family were military households, serving in the army for generations. As a result, marriage was very difficult to arrange, often confined within the small circle of military households. 。Wang Yanqing's grandmother and mother were both daughters of military families. Datong Prefecture was one of the nine major fortified towns on the border, guarding the capital city. It was constantly in conflict with the Mongols, resulting in a tough and warlike culture. Whether it was men or the elderly, they could go from tilling the fields with a hoe to wielding a knife in the next second. Even children were raised to be brave and skilled in combat. 。Wang Yanqing was raised in Zhongchang, enduring much more hardship than his peers. The noble families of the capital thought their lives were miserable, but they had never endured what Wang Yanqing went through. 。,The jade pendant was clenched tightly, but Wang Yanqing remained silent throughout, sitting calmly and quietly like a painting.。
