Ti passes like a galloping horse, swiftly moving and never looking back.
The sky in Jiangzhou is always as blue as a mirror, clear and free of impurities, with white clouds like cotton mingling in the blue canvas, gently and distantly like a child’s purest dream.
A continuous rain has cast a shadow over the city, with fewer pedestrians on the streets, the rising seawater has flooded nearby fishing villages, causing severe losses for the fishern who rely on fishing for their livelihood, expressing their grief during interviews with tears streaming down their faces, hoping the governnt can help them.
Mayor Tang, who has been in office for two years, is praised as a good officer. Although his achievents appear slightly dull under the brilliance of the forr Mayor Yan, it does not diminish the fact that he is a good official. He is honest, people-oriented, vigorously develops industry and economy, and in just two years, Jiangzhou’s economy has steadily accelerated, firmly establishing itself as a leading economic city nationally.
The steadfast and calm middle-aged man made a promise to fishern on TV, stating that in the face of natural disasters, the governnt would certainly provide them with warmth.
After the heavy rain, a ray of sunlight pierced through the haze, dispersing the damp gloom, bringing warmth and light to the saturated earth.
The sky is as clean as a wash.
The Ji Family Manor remains as luxurious and solemn as ever. In the morning, servants successively wake up, those who sweep do so, those who wash perform their tasks, systematically, each doing their duty.
Aunt Li commanded two little girls to clean. The two little girls had been trained for many days but were still clumsy and inattentive in their work, making Aunt Li unable to restrain herself from scolding with hands on her hips, "You two little brats, can’t you be more mindful in your work? How many tis must I warn you? Why is there still dust on the coffee table? Do you want to get in trouble if Miss sees it?"
One of the little girls with pigtails complained aggrievedly, "I clearly wiped it clean before, but Miss’s cat dirtied it again..."
"You even dare to find excuses! Even if the cat dirtied it, you must lick it clean imdiately. The cat’s paws are cleaner than your face."
The little girl pursed her lips, intending to say sothing, but was pulled back silently by another girl.
"You are punished to not eat breakfast in the morning, so you rember this lesson." Aunt Li scolded as she glanced toward the direction of the second floor, her eyes showing a hint of worry.
It’s already eight o’clock, has Miss not woken up yet?
Thinking of Miss’s health, she couldn’t help but sigh, two years ago, Miss went abroad to discuss a contract, during which ti Young Master was kidnapped at ho, disappearing without knowing whether alive or dead.
After returning, Miss appeared isolated in the emptiness of the mansion as if abandoned by the whole world, breaking Aunt Li’s heart every ti she recalled it. At that ti, Miss said one sentence:
——I was still too naive.
She collapsed and fell into a coma, sleeping for three days. After waking up, Miss was still the Miss, but sothing had noticeably changed; she beca more silent, gloomier, rarely ventured out, only appearing in public during the trial when Yun Shen’s verdict was delivered, performing a scene in front of all dia, then disappearing from public view.
She occasionally went out, although Aunt Li didn’t know what Miss exactly did, other tis she stayed at ho. Chang Hong and Third Young Master Ning often visited the manor, having private discussions with Miss in the study, and during this period Mr. Pei frequently ca by, playing chess and chatting with Miss, making the days seem leisurely and carefree, as if Young Master had never disappeared.
Aunt Li clearly saw how much Young Master ant to Miss. Young Master disappeared, taking away Miss’s soul with him. She just lived more resiliently than anyone else, like a solid, built wall, seemingly indestructible, however, the fusion of ice and fire, even the hardest iron walls, could collapse suddenly.
She sighed lightly, heading to the kitchen to prepare Miss’s favorite breakfast.
Actually, what’s the difference between favorite or not? As long as the stomach can be filled, taste no longer holds aning for that girl.
"Why didn’t you let speak? It’s simply bullying! Just because we’re servants, can they insult us at will? We have human rights too, we’re not selling ourselves to them, why should they trample on our dignity like this?" The pigtail girl said indignantly, her young face flushing with two rosy clouds, looking young and beautiful, ready to jump up and resist over any injustice.
"You better say less. Although Aunt Li is strict, isn’t it for our good? Besides, Ji Family’s salary is double or triple that of other wealthy families, and we only serve Miss as our master, without much scheming involved. Except for the stringent rules, what are you unhappy about?" The other girl said calmly.
