“Exactly!”

Today, because of the Chief Commander’s wife’s orders, it was best for the two concubines to stay in the room and not appear during the Military Governor’s wedding!

Third Concubine was filled with resentment.

She would pay her respects to that “main wife” tomorrow morning now that her displeasure had been swept away!

After Feng Songjie received the agreement, he returned to the study.

He sat on the chair and rubbed his aching temples.

When Adjutant Li saw Feng Songjie appear in the study, she pushed the door open and entered. She felt some comfort in her heart, but on the surface, she looked like a loyal subordinate who was trying her best to persuade him.

“Sir, if word gets out that you spent the night in the study room on your wedding night, wouldn’t it be a little…”

Feng Songjie didn’t even look up. He asked calmly, “Who will know if you don’t tell?”

Adjutant Li smiled awkwardly. “… Of course I won’t tell.”

Bai Weiyang woke up in a daze early in the morning and saw a maid with braids carrying a washbasin in.

She had a businesslike attitude.

“Young Madam, it’s time to wash up.”

Bai Weiyang sat up and stared blankly at her. She was still half-asleep, so she nodded like a dork.

“Oh.”

“…”

This was the maidservant in charge of cleaning the courtyard. She knew that the Military Governor had married a fool, so she didn’t give her a good attitude.

Madam’s orders were to help Young Madam get up and get dressed!

However, she did not want to dress and wash up the fool at all.

Before leaving, she added.

“Madam came over early in the morning! She said she was waiting for you to go over for breakfast.”

“Alright.”

Bai Weiyang continued to reply in a daze.

The maidservant shook her head and left the room with a hopeless expression. Bai Weiyang, who was lying on the bed, continued to sleep.

There were two maids whispering outside the door two seconds after she fell asleep.

“So what if she’s married to the Military Governor? She’s still a fool.”

“Stop it. It’s not good to let others hear you.”

“She’s just a fool. What does she know?”

“That’s true. Everyone fantasizes about marrying the Military Governor, but in the end, it benefited a fool! Do fools have all the luck?”

“She must have gotten lucky!”

“I like the Military Governor too!”

“Who in the Military Governor’s residence doesn’t like the Military Governor? The two concubines and Yu Ji are all as beautiful as fairies! The Military Governor could still enter their rooms at the beginning and play chess with the concubines and recite poems. Who would have thought that the Military Governor would be tired of them in just a few days?! Those beautiful concubines aren’t worthy of the Military Governor’s attention, let alone us!”

Bai Weiyang, who was originally very sleepy, suddenly became extremely awake. She cursed in her heart. Do they really think I’m stupid?! These maidservants only know how to talk nonsense. If I gain power, I’ll definitely teach them a lesson one by one.

She got up, washed up, and dressed—

Half an hour later, Bai Weiyang came out of the room wearing a green long skirt.

Outside, she yawned like a zombie and followed the maidservant.

She walked towards the dining room.

It was a few minutes’ walk from the back hall to the dining hall in the front yard.

Feng Songjie stood in the study on the second floor of the front yard, breathing in the fresh morning air and looking at the koi fish in the pond. Suddenly, he saw a girl with her head drooping behind the maidservant on the bridge…

She was a little unfamiliar.

Wait, it was her!

It was his newlywed Young Madam.

She was indeed a fool. She did not have the demeanor of a noble lady at all!

At the thought of marrying such an embarrassing Young Madam, Feng Songjie had an inexplicable urge to shoot her dead.

Bai Weiyang had always been very sensitive to danger.

She, who was dozing off as she walked, suddenly looked up in a certain direction.

Her gaze met the window on the second floor.

It was her new husband.

She deliberately smiled and waved at him.

Then, she watched in satisfaction as he left the window with his veins bulging.
