(Jiang Wanru gazed at Jiyuan, who was still visibly excited from the previous night's events. She gently pushed open the door to her room and let Jiyuan sink into her excitement. After washing up in the side room, she came out to see that the bed had already been made. She shook her head lightly, remade the bed, and fluffed the blankets several times. Jiyuan entered and said, "Miss, I checked the bedding, it's not damp." Jiang Wanru smiled at her and said, "Today is a sunny day, I want to air out the bedding.")

  Ji Yan was speechless about Jiang Wanru's habit of flipping over the quilt after getting out of bed and then folding it back after a while. She had just forgotten for a moment and helped her fold the quilt, only to see that she had wasted her effort again. Jiang Wanru picked up the opened quilt and handed it to Ji Yan, saying: "Dry it in the sunniest place, we'll come back early this afternoon to collect it." Ji Yan took the quilt and smiled, saying: "Yeah, I'll take out my own quilt too and dry it for a while."

  After Ji Yan walked away, Jiang Wanru thought that she would go out soon. She took a look at her room and carefully put some things that she considered precious into the corner before leaving with peace of mind. She sat quietly in the small hall outside, looking at the open window, feeling that the sunshine was so beautiful, sitting in such a quiet and elegant small hall, it was also one of the greatest pleasures in life. The small hall that used to shine brightly with golden light was her least favorite place to stay. It wasn't until after she let go and tidied up that it became so elegant and generous.

  Jiang Wan lived in the Lian Wang Fu, but she never considered it her home and therefore didn't pay much attention to the place. She always thought that the decorations in each room were too luxurious, but she just thought of herself as a guest. She only instructed the housekeeper in Lian Hua Yuan to put away the extra luxurious decorations in her bedroom. As for the small living room, she thought it was just a place where occasional guests would sit and didn't need to be taken care of. It wasn't until during the New Year's period that she listened to the female guest pointing out the things in the house one by one, dispelling her confusion. Only then did she start cleaning up the small living room.

  Jiang Wanmu subconsciously reached out to touch the hundreds of years old wooden table, thinking about the screen that was originally placed in front of the hall door. She had always thought it was an inconspicuous thing, but it turned out to be a treasured item collected in the palace, and it was a precious item used by several generations of masters. Then she thought about the items on the display rack, which she had previously only considered as Lianhao's hobby, never thinking that they were all hundreds of years old antiques. Jiang Wanmu had always been uninterested in antiques, and when mentioning antiques, her first association was tombs. Then she looked at those things, and she could always feel a chill.

  She endured until after the New Year, when there were no more guests. Jiang Wanru immediately instructed the steward to say: "Put away all these things in the small hall carefully. Leave the shelves empty. I will put fresh flowers on them later." The steward looked at her for a long time without speaking, only nodding silently and retreating. A few days later, Jiang Wanru thought she would not follow her own instructions. Just as she was about to clean up herself, the steward brought three people together to take away the screen and decorative items on the shelves, register them, and put them back in the warehouse of the Wang Mansion.

  After handling the matter, he handed over the record to Jiang Wanru and said: "Madam, this is the warehouse's record. If you want to move things back in the future, you can take this book and ask someone to bring it back." Jiang Wanru smiled and refused to accept it, saying: "You hand this book over to Third Master for handling." The steward took back the book upon seeing this. From then on, Jiang Wanru felt that these things had nothing to do with her anymore, no matter whose house they went to.

  Lian Hao walked into the courtyard, followed by two women who were delivering food. The people in the courtyard did not greet him out loud at his signal. In the hall, Jiang Wanmu was frowning and thinking about things. The business of the two shops was quite good. It's just that Fang Zheng had a mind to make the business even better. Jiang Wanmu might have opposed it before, but recently she felt that expanding was a good thing, having more money meant having a better life.

  She furrowed her brow in thought, thinking about what she had to say to Fang Zheng and Mu Gen today. After staying in the Prince's mansion for a year, she knew some people more or less, but there wasn't much friendship between them, just enough to be familiar with each other's faces. This alone broke Jiang Wan's initial idea that after leaving the Prince's mansion, she would not be able to live in the capital city for a short period of time. The capital was a place of right and wrong for her at that time, and long-term residence would easily lead to trouble. Without the protection of the Prince's mansion, she feared that in the eyes of many people, she would be like an ant pinched between fingers.

  Unfortunately, whether in her past life or this one, she had grown accustomed to the hustle and bustle of communal living, and the peaceful life of ordinary people who worked hard to make ends meet. Jiang Wan thought about her future living arrangements and couldn't help but let out a soft sigh. Lian Hao pushed open the door at that moment, catching sight of Jiang Wan's dazed expression, with a rare hint of vulnerability on his face. The aroma of food startled Jiang Wan, who looked up to see Lian Hao radiating a golden glow, and she hid the surprise in her eyes, standing up with a smile to greet him: "Third Master, good morning."

  After Jiang Wan moved in, except for the first morning after getting married, Lian Hao had never appeared here so early. Since then, he has never come here so early again. Jiang Wan has never been a dreamer, and she doesn't have any Cinderella or Snow White complex. She is quite satisfied with her appearance in her past life, and her temperament is also generous and elegant, but she doesn't have many distinctive features. In this life, her appearance is ordinary, and her personality is extremely gentle, which can be described as warm and kind. But if you put it in a bad way, such women are as dull as plain water.

  Lian Hao thought that the series of events, in her eyes, was just a rumor that temporarily sparked his pride and interest in himself. As time went on, Lian Hao realized that he had an uninteresting personality and would not have much time to think about himself. Lian Hao saw Jiang Wanru's calmness turn into weakness in an instant, like the sun shining brightly, and it was as if his eyes were blinded by the light.

  After Lian Hao sat down, he gestured for Jiang Wanru to sit down, and then gestured for the two women to serve the food. Jiang Wanru saw the full table of dishes and said with a headache: "Third Master, there's so much, I won't be able to finish it." Lian Hao looked at her impatiently and said: "I haven't had breakfast yet, you take what you want to eat over here." Jiang Wanru took a bowl of clear porridge and a stack of buns and put them in front of her, saying: "I'll just have these two things." Lian Hao glanced at the things on the table and said to the two women: "You can go down." The two women retreated.

  Lian Hao and Jiang Wanmu sat quietly for a long time, Lian Hao didn't move his chopsticks, and Jiang Wanmu was too embarrassed to make the first move. Lian Hao looked at Jiang Wanmu who remained still and said, "Don't you know how to serve me?" Jiang Wanmu understood from his words that this big man had been waiting for someone to serve him all along. She let out a light sigh, stood up and said, "I've never served anyone before, I might not do it right, don't get angry." Lian Hao then picked up the chopsticks himself and gestured for her to sit back down.

  Jiang Wanru naturally sat down and had a meal with him, paying attention to Lian Hao's movements while eating. When Lian Hao put down his chopsticks, Jiang Wanru followed suit. The two maids waiting at the door of the hall stretched their heads to take a look inside, indicating that the two women should go in to clean up the table. They walked over to Lian Hao with smiles, one carrying tea and the other holding a basin of water with a clean towel hanging from her hand.

  Lian Hao stretched out his hand to the basin, rinsed his hands clean, took a clean towel from Ya Tou's hand, wiped off the water marks on his hands, and casually threw the towel back into the basin. The two women and two maidservants retreated, leaving only a cup of tea on the clean table surface. Lian Hao glanced at Jiang Wan's empty space in front of him, his eyes gazing out towards the hall entrance. Two senior maidservants were already waiting by the door, noticing Lian Hao's gaze, one of them smiled and stood sideways by the doorway, asking: "Master, are there any further instructions?"

  The maid in the blue dress, paired with a red makeup on her face, was very joyful. Jiang Wanmu glanced at Lianhao's changing expression, and when he lowered his face, his features were as sharp as if carved by a knife, extremely handsome and cold, like being in the midst of ice and snow. Such a man, when smiling, was like a spring flower blooming, and his features immediately softened, with another kind of youthful mischievous beauty. Lianhao's cold face made the smile on the maid's face by the door suddenly wilt away. Her eyes carefully looked towards Jiang Wanmu, but at this time she had already become uninterested and detached.

  Jiang Wanmu slightly lowered her eyes, and the people in Lianhao's courtyard had never considered themselves the masters. Lianhao coldly spoke up: "The housekeeper, come in and respond." The housekeeper hastily entered, and with one glance at the table, she saw that only in front of Lianhao was a cup of tea placed. Her expression changed slightly as she smiled and asked Jiang Wanmu: "Madam, would you like to have the maids serve a cup of plain water?" Jiang Wanmu slightly raised her eyes, smiling faintly at her.

  Lian Hao listened to this and glanced at Jiang Wanru, who was still smiling. He picked up the teacup in front of him and smashed it, saying: "No wonder that for a year, the servants in the courtyard have been getting more and more out of line. If the person in charge behaves like this, how can you blame them for following suit? Everyone in this courtyard, go to Mistress Shizi's place to receive punishment." The housekeeper's face turned pale and she knelt down immediately. At this time, a loud voice came from outside the courtyard: "Greetings, Sister Mingyu, greetings, Sister Mingtou." When the housekeeper heard this voice, a look of expectation appeared on her face.

  Ming Yu and Ming Tuo, two people, one wearing a brocade flower branch lotus leaf dress, the other wearing a white fine silk dress, each with two exquisite gold hairpins on their heads. The two stood elegantly at the entrance of the hall, looking at Lian Hao who was furious inside the hall. They looked at each other and stepped into the hall together, smiling and greeting Lian Hao and Jiang Wanru: "Good sir, good madam." Lian Hao glanced at them and said, "The things I ordered you to do, have you done well?" Ming Yu smiled and said, "Sir, we two have done well, come to discuss with you."

  Lian Hao's expression improved slightly, and he asked Jiang Wanru: "Madam, how do you want to deal with them?" Jiang Wanru lowered her eyes and said softly: "I'll listen to Third Young Master's instructions." Lian Hao looked at her with a heavy gaze as she spoke so obediently. After a while, he turned to the housekeeper and said: "This time, Madam won't hold it against you, you don't need to go to the Young Master's wife for punishment. But if there's a next time, I absolutely won't let you off lightly. Have the two maids sent away, tell them to behave themselves."
