After Lin Wei Xi shouted those words to Yan Wang, she pushed away and ran towards the backyard. After returning to her room, her emotions slowly calmed down.

Lin Wei Xi didn't know why she suddenly erupted. Maybe during this period of time, her previous life and that heavenly book had been holding her firmly. After Li Da's incident last night, Lin Wei Xi's backlog of emotions suddenly broke out. It could also because of what Yan Wang said. If it was other people that said it she could fight with reason, but this was Yan Wang.

Lin Wei Xi didn't light up the lamp, while she sat for a while the room gradually darkened, and she couldn't even see the bed cabinet. Lin Wei Xi was in a daze, suddenly the door was knocked: "Miss Lin, are you inside?"

Lin Wei Xi returned to her senses, she never heard this voice before. Why was it outside her door? However even if Lin Wei Xi was angry, she was convinced that Yan Wang could guarantee her safety, so she didn't think too much about it, stood up to open the door.

Standing outside the door was a woman with hair combed into two buns. She was about seventeen or eighteen, dressed like a maid. The visitor was obviously surprised when she saw Lin Wei Xi, and when she realized her rudeness she quickly bowed her head to salute: "Miss Lin, this servant girl is Wan Yue, come to serve Miss Lin by the order of Wangye."

Lin Wei Xi looked at the person, her eyes moved slightly. "It was Yan Wang who asked you to come?"

"Yes."

Lin Wei Xi clenched her lips, wondering what Yan Wang meant. The unpleasant scene just now was actually Lin Wei Xi's fault. From a secular perspective, Yan Wang did this for her own good, and it was Lin Wei Xi who failed to appreciate it. Lin Wei Xi herself still entangled in whether to go over and apologize, but Yan Wang sent someone over in a flash, as if he didn't put the matter in his eyes. Yan Wang didn't care, Lin Wei Xi should felt relief, but she felt very complicated instead. This made Lin Wei Xi felt that she was completely irrelevant in Yan Wang's eyes, as if she was just an ignorant oil bottle that need to be settled down.

Lin Wei Xi immediately laughed at herself. She was originally a nobody to Yan Wang, and Yan Wang brought her out was already an extreme benevolence. When they reached the next town, Lin Wei Xi should resign consciously. Yan Wang still has major events in the capital, not to mention that Gu Cheng Yao's wedding was just around the corner. Yan Wang just said that, but how could he not go back to participate? Lin Wei Xi should be tactful and not be a burden for Yan Wang.

So Lin Wei Xi didn't say anything, but just nodded and stepped aside: "Come in. Where are you from?"

"This slave is from Shunde. Originally a servant girl of the young miss in county magistrate's mansion. Yan Wang asked to bought this slave from the mansion, to serve Miss Lin"

Lin Wei Xi's forehead almost dripping sweats, "You were personal servant girl of county magistrate's daughter before?"

"Cannot be count as personal servant, but just do some crude jobs."

Lin Xi had manage the household for many years, looking at Wan Yue's conversation and conduct, she knew that this must be an important servant in her master's house. Considering the gap between a small town and the capital, it might take a lot of effort to cultivate a maid like Wan Yue. This was probably the madam of county magistrate's weapon prepared for her own daughters, but Wang Yan unexpectedly asked for it. This was actually very rude in rich family circle. After all, the maid beside the young lady was basically equal to the face of the master, and Yan Wang's behavior was... too domineering.

But Lin Wei Xi just thought about it, and would not return the person. It was very important to have a clever maid at hand. Anyway, it was Yan Wang who step in. If Lin Wei Xi could just sit and enjoyed his success, why not do it?
