1297 Chapter 34 Mao Mao Love Story
Fen Wén was silent for a few seconds before a smile appeared on her face. Bowing politely, the girl said,
"Ah, yes, his excellency has told me before about my lady..." Fen Wén added, "But his excellency is greeting his majesty right now...my lady have to wait for a while, is it alright?"
Fen Wén was all smile as she explained to Tian Rong. Now she knew the girl was the one Mao Mao said to join them, she had to make sure she was comfortable.
Even though...she herself wasn’t comfortable with a new girl around.
Tian Rong’s eyes immediately widened and a sparkle flashed inside. The girl suddenly grabbed Fen Wén’s hands and happily spoke, "Really? Thank you! I’ll wait for him here."
The girl silently sighed in relief that Mao Mao acknowledged her to join his carriage. Else it would be super embarrassing.
Startled, Fen Wén just nodded, "It’s alright, my lady, no need to thank me..." she flashed a bitter smile while slowly releasing her hand from Tian Rong’s grip.
She took a step back and once again bent her back, showing respect to the lady in front of her.
Seeing Fen Wén was so respectful, Tian Rong tilted her head in confusion, "Why are you being so respectful to me?" She paused for a bit, "Ah I haven’t introduced myself..."
Tian Rong smiled apologetically as she performed a perfect curtsy, "My name is Tian Rong from Tian Family, daughter of the current finance minister."
Her elegant movement stunned Fen Wén for a second but then the girl was taken aback after she realized the lady’s name and position.
Tian Rong? Daughter of the finance minister?
’Isn’t this girl the one rumoured to be engaged with Mao Mao??’ Fen Wén was alarmed.
She vaguely remembered that the girl gossiped by her friends came from the finance minister family.
It means...
Fen Wén stole a glance at Tian Rong and instantly, her heart ached.
’Such a pretty girl...is Mao Mao’s fiancé?’ Fen Wén couldn’t help but think so. Even if she couldn’t really believe in the rumour but still, seeing the girl gossiped by others turned out to be a peerless beauty...
She suddenly felt self-conscious.
Fen Wén looked down at herself and saw the clothes she wore was very ordinary despite looking pretty. Mint colour dress, looked refreshing in the winter.
Surely she didn’t wear a maidservant uniform as a personal servant didn’t have to do that but...
Fen Wén looked up and sneak a peek to Tian Rong. Seeing her lavish ruby-red dress decorated with golden embroidery made her self-esteem hit the rock bottom.
Noticing Fen Wén’s gaze on her, Tian Rong cautiously asked, "Emm...what’s wrong?" She wryly smiled, "Is there something wrong with my appearance?"
She couldn’t help but wonder if her dress was turned out or something but this was a new dress. There shouldn’t be anything wrong with it.
Snapped awake from her thought, Fen Wén instantly realized that she had been impolite to someone of a higher status.
Stuttering, the girl quickly apologized, "P-please forgive me, my lady, there’s nothing wrong..." Fen Wén bit her lips, "My lady is very beautiful."
Fen Wén threw praise to Tian Rong.
She really did think like that.
Blushing, Tian Rong fanned her red face, "Ah, you’re flattering me. You’re also beautiful!" The girl scanned Fen Wén from head to toe before asking, "Can I know your name?"
’Looking from her attire she should be a daughter of officials too but I never saw her before..’ Tian Rong silently thought.
If she never saw her at the gathering it means this girl wasn’t from a high-rank noble, right?
Fen Wén darted her eyes around feeling reluctant to reveal her identity. But being asked like that, she had to answer. Taking a deep breath, Fen Wén made a curtsy.
"My name is Fen Wén, a daughter of low-tier officials...I’m his excellency personal maidservant."
Fen Wén lowered her head as she said so. Her simply tied hair slipped to the front covering her shoulder.
Once Fen Wén introduced herself, Tian Rong gasped. The girl looked at Fen Wén for a few times before frowning.
’A maidservant? What is she doing here?’
Tian Rong thought as she rubbed her chin. The girl looked at the other side of the yard where all the servants and guards were gathering. Then she looked back at Fen Wén with questioning gaze.
Even if the girl was a daughter of an official, she was currently a maidservant. Shouldn’t she join the group over there and not stay here?
"...does Lord Mao allow you to be here?" Tian Rong subconsciously asked but then she immediately regretted her word choice.
She sounded rude!
Fen Wén flinched, her head was dropped low as the girl clenched her fist tight. The question hit her hard as that wasn’t wrong.
Trembling, Fen Wén wanted to answer but her mouth refused to obey. She could only stand there staring at the ground.
Seeing Fen Wén’s reaction, Tian Rong had just about to correct the question when a low voice sounded behind Fen Wén.
"Yes, I allow her to be here." Mao Mao grabbed Fen Wén’s shoulder from behind as he added, "Is there anything wrong with that?"
The young man threw a death glare at Tian Rong instantly made the girl flinched. Her face rapidly turned pale not noticing Mao Mao’s arrival.
"T-this subject beg for forgiveness! I-i didn’t mean to ask that..." Tian Rong lowered her head and covered her mouth. Her shoulders were trembling she squeezed her eyes tight.
This..is bad!
