It was already evening when they returned from the horse farm. Wen Siyu got out of the car tremblingly, then sighed to herself and pulled Yun Wu into the mansion nervously.

She originally wanted to take Yun Wu and sneak around the front hall to the backyard, but before she reached the front hall lobby, she ran into Mrs. Wen who came out.

"stop."

Mrs. Wen, wearing a dark long coat, called out to Wen Siyu and Yun Wu with a serious look on her face.

"Aunt Wen."

Yun Wu turned around and nodded slightly to Madam Wen politely. Madam Wen glanced at her indifferently, and then her eyes fell on Wen Siyu.

"You are a lady from a wealthy family after all. Why are you back so late? Where did you go wandering around today?"

"Mom, I took Sister Yun to the horse farm to ride horses today, so I came back a little late..."

Wen Siyu smiled and said in a flattering tone that she wanted to sneak back just now because she was afraid of meeting her mother, but what she feared came true.

Mrs. Wen looked a little angry, frowning but keeping her eyes on Yun Wu.

"Xiao Wu, you are an elder, how can you bring Siyu along to play around? Why would a girl go to a horse farm..."

"Mom! I asked Sister Yun to go with me."

"Even if that's the case... then, then wouldn't she have persuaded you a little? After all, Xiaowu, you're going to marry into our Wen family in the future. How can I feel at ease if you act inappropriately like this..."

Mrs. Wen said with a slightly frowned brow, obviously because she was angry but didn't want to talk about her own daughter, so she made some unreasonable excuses and blamed Yun Wu for the mistake.

Yun Wu lowered her eyes and clenched her hands. Madam Wen thought that according to her personality, she would not say anything back. Just when she was about to say something disciplinary, she suddenly heard her speak.

"What are you talking about, Aunt? Siyu asked me to go with her, and I was afraid that something might happen to her out there alone, so I followed her."

Yun Wu raised her head. Her voice was soft but her tone was gentle and steady.

"But I heard from Siyu that her brother took her there once before to learn horse riding. How come she can't go now..."

She pretended to be confused and looked at Mrs. Wen, whose expression looked a little forced.

Wen Siyu came back late today and she seemed to be in a bad mood. In addition, she was not very satisfied with Yun Wu, who had an engagement with her son.

However, Master Wen was very satisfied with Yun Wu, his future daughter-in-law. When he heard that Yun Wu was left alone after her parents passed away, he specially asked someone to bring her to live with him.

Although Mrs. Wen didn't say it, she was actually somewhat dissatisfied with this child marriage, so she wanted to make things difficult for them.

As a result, Mrs. Wen did not expect that Yun Wu, who usually looked honest and weak, would actually talk back.

Yun Wu seemed to feel relieved after saying those words. If it were in the past, she might have just agreed silently.

But somehow she doesn't want to be like this now. Maybe it's because she met someone like Jiang Yanzhi, whom she had never met before. She feels that her personality has changed a little.

"That's right, Mom. It's not like I haven't been to a horse farm before. Is it that serious..."

Wen Siyu snorted twice and said, seeing that Madam Wen had nothing to say, she became bolder and made up an excuse to pull Yun Wu away.

As soon as they walked to the backyard, a servant came to look for Wen Siyu, saying that when they were out today, someone brought a letter, which was sent back by Wen Jingnian who was still abroad.

Yun Wu returned to the small courtyard where she lived. As soon as she entered the room, Xiao Tao, who was making the bed, hurried over to greet her.

"Miss is back! I heard that Master Wen sent another letter back. Why don't you go and see Miss Wen..."

"No letter for me."

Yun Wu gave Xiao Tao a gentle smile, then sat on the couch with her eyes lowered, her long eyelashes fluttering, and she seemed a little lost.

Xiao Tao was stunned at first, then quickly gave two dry laughs and hurriedly poured tea for Yun Wu.

"Maybe Master Wen is busy with his studies abroad, don't be sad Miss..."

Xiao Tao said this dryly, then her eyes lit up and she quickly took out the paper and brush that Yun Wu usually used for practicing calligraphy.

"Or, Miss can also write a letter to Master Wen."

Yun Wu's expression paused, and then she held the brush hesitantly.

Xiao Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, she was not at all satisfied with her future son-in-law, the young lady's fiancé Wen Jingnian.

But this was an arranged marriage between the late master and his wife, and as a maid, she couldn't say anything.

Xiao Tao thought that her young lady had not had dinner yet, so she hurried out to the small kitchen, leaving Yun Wu alone in the room.

Since learning to read and write, Yun Wu has read a lot of books, and she seems to understand a lot of things.

When she originally came to Beicheng, she thought about following the arrangements for the marriage. Maybe when Wen Jingnian came back from studying abroad, they would get married according to the marriage agreement and live their lives in mutual respect just like her parents.

But now she seemed to be very clear in her mind that Wen Jingnian didn't like her, or it could be said... he seemed to dislike her a little.

During the more than half a year she had been studying abroad, there had never been any letters sent back to her, which caused some servants in the mansion to privately mock her for this, but those people were often taught a lesson by the steward.

Yun Wu remembered that the new manager seemed to be someone arranged by Jiang Yanzhi...

She lowered her eyes and sighed softly. If she continued like this, she was afraid that they wouldn't even be able to treat each other with respect in the future.

Yun Wu suddenly felt tired. She had always followed the rules since she was a child and never dared to do anything beyond the rules. But it seemed that she didn't want to...

As she was thinking, she suddenly tightened her grip on the brush, her delicate face seemed to have an extremely serious look, and then she picked up the brush and wrote on the paper...

When Xiao Tao came back with the food, she saw Yun Wu put the letter away. She thought that the lady was embarrassed to let others see the letter written to her fiancé, so she didn't ask any questions.

The night gradually deepened and the lights in the house had been turned off and everyone had rested. Jiang Yanzhi climbed over the wall at about the same time as usual.

His hand was still wrapped around the handkerchief that Yun Wu had tied for him today at the horse farm. He leaned against Yun Wu's bed, staring at her beautiful sleeping face, while raising his hand to smell the faint fragrance lingering on the handkerchief.

But Jiang Yanzhi gradually became dissatisfied with this, perhaps because he thought of what Wen Siyu said today: she is my future sister-in-law.

He frowned slightly, still a little unhappy. He hummed twice and then lowered his head and kissed Yun Wu's cheek.

"You haven't coaxed me today. Look, I'm injured..."

Jiang Yanzhi's voice was deep. Even though the small scars on his palms had almost healed, he still found a suitable reason to kiss his Awu.

Until the sleeping girl shook her head twice, as if she was awakened, and suddenly opened half of her eyes in a daze.

Jiang Yanzhi was still beside the bed at this time. The two of them looked at each other. In the moonlight, the girl was still drowsy and half-closed her watery eyes, looking dull and dazed.

"Jiang...Yanzhi?"
