Chapter 16
On an auspicious day, the Shen Mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the sky was full of gongs and drums.

Shen Qinglan's Wenlan Courtyard was fairly clean, so she slept until the sun was up.

When she woke up, she even called out "Yan'er", but no one responded.

After a while, Min'er happily ran in, and it seemed that she had won a red envelope from Mrs. Xin.

"Miss, you forgot that Sister Yan'er was ordered by you to send off her relatives with a congratulatory gift. She must have already arrived at the Meng Mansion by this time." Min'er said while counting the coins in her hand.

"Make up for me."

Shen Qinglan stretched her waist. She was a little worried about Yan'er's situation, and she was afraid that the Meng family would retaliate.

When dressing up, Min'er chose jewelry and clothes for her according to the original owner's habits, but she said she didn't like it, and only said to find some plain clothes, and took off a lot of jewelry from her head.

"Miss, you like this hairstyle the most on weekdays, why is it so elegant today?"

As Min'er said, she wanted to choose earrings for Shen Qinglan again, and she chose the largest pearl earrings by choosing left and right.

"No need, that's enough." In fact, it's not that Shen Qinglan doesn't like those things, but that she doesn't like restraint, and she doesn't like to dress too gorgeously for non-serious occasions. It's really cumbersome. Lost, but also distressed.
-
Yan'er brought Shen Qinglan's congratulatory gift to Meng's house along with the send-off team.

In the previous life, Yi Feng worked as a handyman in Meng's residence. He had to do all kinds of dirty work at a young age. Today is the big day of Meng's family. He must be chopping firewood in the backyard right now to prepare for today's wedding banquet.

Sure enough, he was chopping firewood in the dilapidated small courtyard, with injuries on his body, and he was limping when he walked.

"Yi Feng." Yan'er stood at the door and called softly.

Hearing his name, Yi Feng lowered his head subconsciously, and cut wood even more desperately, for fear of being punished again.

Seeing his frightened appearance, Yan'er felt a little distressed, walked to his side and said softly: "Yi Feng, you...do you remember me? It's me!"

He slowly raised his head and saw a face he was not very familiar with. Trying to recall, he remembered that he had only met her once, and there should be welt marks left by the young master on her body.

"you……"

Yi Feng wanted to ask her why she was here, but she didn't ask, and turned her head to continue chopping firewood.

Whether she comes here has nothing to do with him, but if the firewood is not chopped, he will have nothing to eat today.

"Yi Feng, I don't mean anything else, I just want to thank you for speaking for me that day."

Yan'er was talking to him at the side, but he didn't respond, he just limped to get the firewood, and then swung the ax clumsily.

"I'm sorry, I'm the one who got you in trouble... I, I'm Shen Qinglan's personal servant girl, my name is Yan'er, you..."

Before Yan'er could finish her sentence, Yi Feng stopped and looked at her, his immature face was stained with dirt, and his eyes were very indifferent.

"The big maids around you ladies don't know what our life is like." Yi Feng's voice was hoarse, as if he had been crying for a long time.

"I'm really sorry, because you were punished for interceding for us. However, my lady has promised me that she will help me buy you from the Meng family. From now on, you won't have to suffer like this again."

Yan'er's words were sincere, and she was still a little choked up. After saying these words, Yi Feng's guard was much less, but he didn't dare to believe it, and still had doubts.

"Why did you help me? Just because I said something for you?"

Faced with Yi Feng's question, Yan'er didn't know how to answer for a moment.

She didn't dare to mention the matter of rebirth to others, and no one would believe it, making her look like a liar.

Seeing her silent for a long time, Yi Feng sneered, bent down and continued chopping firewood.

Yan'er took his arm, handed a heavy purse into his hand, and said: "Whether you believe me or not, you put this away first, and within seven days, I will definitely rescue you."

Yan'er left in a hurry after saying that, Yi Feng opened the purse, and there were five silver ingots in it, a total of 50 taels of silver.
-
The wedding ceremony was over, all the guests were seated, Yan'er hurried to the door, and when she passed the corridor in the backyard, she happened to run into Meng Jingming's personal slave, Ma Jin.

Yan'er didn't want to talk to him at first, she just wanted to leave quickly, but this scoundrel blocked her way.

"Isn't this Miss Yan'er? Why did you come to our prefect's mansion today? Could it be that Miss Shen is also here?"

Ma Jin had a smirk on his face, this girl uttered wild words and insulted his young master that day, wouldn't it be a great achievement if she was brought in front of the young master?
"I'm here to give a congratulatory gift to my young lady."

Yan'er said it, and wanted to move on, but Ma Jin stretched out his arm.

"A congratulatory gift? Why did the congratulatory gift come to the inner house? The girl must have lost her way!" Ma Jin said.

"What do you want to do?" Yan'er was a little scared, and retreated unconsciously.

Ma Jin bared his yellow teeth and smirked, "Miss Yan'er rarely comes to our prefect's mansion. Today is my son's big day, so Miss Yan'er should stay here for a drink!"

"I don't want to drink!" Yan'er plucked up the courage to push away the disgusting guy in front of her, but after all, a woman's strength is no match for a man's.

"Don't be shameless!" Ma Jin slapped Yan'er heavily, "Who do you think you are! It's just a maid from a merchant's family. Our prefect's mansion is not where you can come and leave whenever you want place!"

At this moment, Yi Feng, who was hiding in the dark, picked up a stone from the grass, and when he was hesitating whether to go out, a figure rushed out from behind Ma Jin.

"damn thing!"

It was Shen Qinglan. Before she went out today, she specially hid a horsewhip in her sleeve, and it happened to come in handy now.

She swung her arm and whipped Ma Jin in the face, and then kicked him in the chest.

Today she only brought two servant girls over, because she didn't want others to notice, so she found an excuse to come out and secretly search for Yan'er by herself.

"What are you, it's your turn to show off!" Shen Qinglan helped Yan'er up, and said with concern: "Yan'er, are you okay!"

"It's okay...Miss, why are you here?" Yan'er covered her face and said.

At this moment, the guests are almost all in the front hall, and there is no one in the backyard. If there is a real disturbance, the two women will not get any advantage.

Ma Jin twisted the corner of his mouth, and at this moment half of his face was burning with pain.He noticed that Shen Qinglan didn't bring anyone over, and sneered, "Sure enough, there are slaves like masters. Miss Shen is hot, so the slaves brought out are so unruly."

Ma Jin quietly pulled out a dagger from behind. At this moment, he just wanted to claim credit in front of his son, and no matter what, he had to take them down before others saw them.
