"Young Marshal’s Wife, Miss Chu, you’ve arrived." The steward of Hengyuan Building greeted them, bent over with a smile, and led the two to the second floor’s premium goods area.

Before going upstairs, Chu Meng hesitated for a moment as she glanced at the two soldiers who wanted to follow. "Chunchun, the space upstairs is small. Let them wait downstairs."

"Zhang Tong, go wait by the carriage." Yuan Chun instructed, then went upstairs with her two close maids.

The two maids, Chunmei and Xia He, were dowry maids of the original owner and grew up with her. They were like sisters rather than master and servants.

In the previous life, the original owner spent all her dowry on Bai Yuechen. The maids repeatedly advised the original owner, but she was obstinate, and they could only help her keep it hidden.

Later, the original owner committed suicide. After being saved by Ling Changfeng, he brought the two maids to serve the original owner. The maids, heartbroken for their mistress, cried and cursed Bai Yuechen as inhuman.

However, the original owner was concerned about her son, so she begged Ling Changfeng to let the two maids stay at the Marshal Mansion to care for him.

Afterward, the two maids often came to see the original owner, telling her about Ling Xihua’s situation.

...

On the second floor, the steward took out a dozen luxurious and exquisite cheongsams for Yuan Chun to try on.

It was Yuan Chun’s first time in the Republic on a mission. She wanted to store some cheongsams made by Republic masters in the space, so she picked ten cheongsams without trying them on. "I just gave birth, my figure hasn’t recovered, so there’s no need to try. Send the clothes to the Marshal Mansion in the afternoon."

The steward quickly agreed.

As Yuan Chun turned to leave, Chu Meng said, "Chunchun, I... I haven’t bought anything yet. How about you go to the backyard for a while, and I’ll find you after I finish shopping." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

There’s an embroidery room in the backyard of Hengyuan Building, and the clothes here are all crafted by the embroiderers there.

Moreover, they can be customized.

Yuan Chun smiled faintly at her for a long moment before nodding, "Then be quick. I’ll go to the embroidery room to customize some new-style cheongsams."

Yuan Chun went to the backyard.

Sure enough, she saw the scumbag anxiously looking forward to her arrival.

At the moment he saw her, a light shone in the scumbag’s eyes, and he rushed over, "Chunchun, I knew you would come. You still have feelings for me... ah..."

A loud bang.

Before Bai Yuechen could get close to Yuan Chun, he was kicked away by the suddenly appearing Zhang Tong.

Yuan Chun, with lingering fear, patted her chest and thanked Zhang Tong, "Zhang Tong, good thing you were quick, otherwise I would have been attacked by him."

"Daring to attack the Young Marshal’s Wife, this person is courting death."

Zhang Tong rushed up and gave him another round of punches and kicks.

Bai Yuechen clutched his head, screaming, "Stop, stop now. I’m a friend of your Young Marshal’s Wife. Chunchun, make him stop, ow..."

"Dare to impersonate a friend of our Young Marshal’s Wife? Each time our Young Marshal’s Wife goes out, I’m the escorting guard, and I’ve never seen you. Tell me, who sent you?"

Zhang Tong gave him a harsh kick, took out a gun, and pressed it against his head.

Bai Yuechen was scared out of his wits, "Chun... Chunchun, save me. I just wanted to see you, I didn’t mean anything else, really, Chunchun..."

Yuan Chun sneered, "I am the Young Marshal’s Wife of Haidu, many want to see me. If everyone scares me like you do, how will I ever step outside again?"

"Chunchun, do you really care nothing for the feelings we shared, to be so heartless to me?" Bai Yuechen felt some regret. He shouldn’t have come to find Gong Yuanchun today. "Chunchun, let these people release me. I’m in pain all over, it’s too much."
