Chapter 9: The appearance of the little milk dog

help and send someone (like Nanny Hui) over temporarily to help manage the inner house in her place. But does the Empress Dowager have any senseHe had just scolded his wife when, right after that, the...Virgin was uneasy all day, and did not hear from Xiaochizi until it was dusk that Sīyé had arrived.

Both Fu Ling and Gan Cao were overjoyed. Hearing this, they immediately helped Wei Zhen up. One went to dust off her clothes, though there was no dust on them, while the other tidied the pearl flowers in her hair bun.

"Gege, you should go wait at the door for Fourth Master." Seeing Wei Zhuang frozen in place, Fu Ling reminded her.

Virgin came to herself and urged, “Quickly go and bring the eldest sister!”

Licorice hesitated for a moment: "Perhaps we should wait until the Master and Miss have finished their meal before asking the wet nurse to bring Young Miss over"

"Fu Ling also nodded repeatedly: 'Fourth Master doesn't come often, naturally the mistress should seize the opportunity to be alone with Fourth Master. If Da Gege were here, how could the mistress speak her mind to Fourth Master'"

I don't have the words to say to him! I definitely don't want to be alone with him! I need Da GeGe as a third party!

Virgin's heart roared with anger, but on her face she still pretended to be calm: "Since the master has spoken and wants to see Big Gege, if we let him come without seeing us, wouldn't he be furious that we don't take his words to heart Go quickly!"

Fuling and Gancao felt that what Virgin said made sense. They immediately rushed to Xixiang and asked the nurse to bring Da Gege over.

This time, when bringing the elder Miss back, those three wet nurses naturally all followed. Although Wei Zhen loathed those two arrogant and domineering wet nurses, they were chosen by Fu Jin after all, and according to palace rules, raising the elder Miss was impeccable. Wei Zhen couldn't help but vent her anger.

At this moment, the two stout nannies, Deng and An, arrived carrying the eldest girl. However, Fang, the responsible nanny, was nowhere to be seen.

These two, relying on their seniority, have often bullied Fang shi. Usually, it's almost always Fang shi who takes care of Da gege alone. When they encounter the chance to show themselves in front of their master, they immediately step forward, making Wei Zhen very uncomfortable inside.

She is not stable now, after she has stood firm, the first thing to do is to drive these two pickled goods away.

As for how to stand firm, naturally she had to cling tightly to the Fourth Master's leg. Wei Zhen was quite worried.

She was really intimidated by the Fourth Master, after all, he would be Emperor Yongzheng in the future. Being close to the ruler is like walking on eggshells, she hadn't even gotten a chance to hold onto his leg before risking her life.

Holding onto Da Gege, Deng and An bowed together to Wei Zhen, paying their respects: "Da Gege asks you well."

These two were actually much more polite than usual, naturally they weren't paying attention to the Virgin's face, and the Virgin was too lazy to care. Her mind was entirely focused on the eldest sister.

The Deng family and An family rarely took Da Gege with them when they were being lazy, so Da Gege wasn't close to them. However, Weizhen went to accompany Da Gege every day. Da Gege was very familiar with Weizhen, and when she saw Weizhen, she reached out for a hug.

Virgin also stretched out her hand: “Come, mother, hold me…”

"I dare not tire you, my lady."

Then Deng retreated a step, showing no intention of handing over the elder sister to Wei Zhen. Wei Zhen's face immediately turned sour. Just as she was about to speak, the elder sister burst into tears.

Deng's eyes were sharp, and at a glance she saw the maid at the gate bowing to greet someone outside. Knowing that the Fourth Master had arrived, she quickly covered the eldest daughter's mouth.

When Virgin saw this, she was furious: "Who gave you the guts to treat the eldest sister like this"

Deng's eyes rolled, and she immediately knelt down, with a look of sorrow on her face. Her voice was choked with emotion as she spoke: "Even if Gege is angry, please don't raise your voice, for fear that Da Gege will be frightened."

Ann also chimed in, "That's right, Gege. Look, even the elder sister has been scared to tears by you!"

"Fu Ling was so angry she stomped her feet: 'It was you guys who scared Da Gege, and now you're blaming our Gege!'"

"Miss Deng, you're mistaken! I have always served the mistress and Miss with utmost dedication. Though I may seem clumsy, I rely entirely on their kindness. I always hope for Miss's well-being and would never do anything to frighten her. I also hold deep respect for her mother. I understand that you often find fault with me, but I will be even more careful in the future and try my best not to upset you."

"You! You're full of lies! Taking advantage of people!"

Ling's temper flared, and licorice wasn't helping. But she was ultimately more composed than Ling, remembering that the Fourth Master would be arriving soon. This was not the time to lose control, so she reached out and grasped Ling's hand.

Fourth Master stopped and narrowed his eyes, observing the movement inside. Little Pond wanted to go in and remind Wei Zhu, but Fourth Master raised his hand to stop him. Little Pond could only anxiously scratch his ears and cheeks on the spot, afraid that his gege might accidentally offend their master.

"Alright," Virgin said coldly, "If you're worried about scaring the elder sister, then stop making such a fuss."

The Deng and An families were so focused on putting on a show that they didn't care about the eldest princess trembling with sobs. This shows that their supposed kindness towards the eldest princess is just common practice.

Wei Zhen hurried to comfort Da Ge Ge, going upstairs again to hug Da Ge Ge. This time Deng shi did not dare to stop her. As soon as Da Ge Ge entered Wei Zhen's arms, she used her little hand to hug Wei Zhen's neck, her face full of tears, sobbing and wiping them away. It was so heartbreaking.

Wei Zhen gently patted Da Gege, soothing her with soft words. Da Gege quickly stopped crying and nuzzled her little face against Wei Zhen's neck.

Deng's eyes darted about, glancing at Wei Zhen's mother and daughter displaying their filial piety. He was in a panic, trying to figure out a plan, when suddenly he heard footsteps approaching from afar. Then a cold male voice rang down from above —

"If it's meant to frighten the elder sister, then just drive her out."

Deng was shocked and wanted to defend himself, but he had already been dragged away by Su Peisheng's men on either side. An, who stood beside him, was immediately terrified, holding her breath and pressing her face against the ground.

"Greetings, Master!" Upon seeing the Fourth Master enter, Ling and Gancao hurriedly bowed in greeting.

Virgin eyes watched as he strode in, the legendary Fourth Master. Her heart skipped a beat, followed by a flood of questions in her mind.

The eyebrows are well-defined, the eyes are phoenix eyes, with pale thin lips. Broad shoulders and a narrow waist, her figure is graceful and upright, a classic image of aloofness and restraint...

Who can tell her why Fourth Master looks exactly like the little milk dog in a hanfu she met at the Forbidden City!

No, there are also differences. A milk dog has long, thick, bouncy curls, while Si Ye is...

Virgin's gaze involuntarily lingered on Siye's shiny head.you feeling unwell Would you like me to call the imperial physician to take a look at you"Song Gege hurriedly stood up and bowed, saying: "Thank you, Madam, for your concern. It's just that my body is...
