Chapter 338 The Concubine of the Age 45
Unexpectedly, this publicity made the Scottish people like Mrs. Wenzel more.
Not only did it fail to ruin Mrs. Wen Ze's external image, but it also made her more popular among the people.
Even Baron Wen Ze's external image has improved a lot.
When Wen Ze heard the news, he hugged his wife and kissed her twice: "Thank you for your hard work."
Mrs. Wen Ze smiled brightly: "I didn't expect her to be so impatient. She has helped us a lot. I'm sure she must be very angry now."
Then his face darkened: "I changed my clothes before leaving Miss Gu's manor, just in case someone would make a fuss about this matter. It seems that someone around us has been..."
Wen Ze said nonchalantly: "What's the big deal? Jeffrey and his wife also have our people around them."
Mrs. Wen Ze glanced at her husband dimly and said, "Yes, so your love of luxury was also spread by those people... The people all hope that Baron Jefri will take the throne."
Wen Ze touched his nose and said, "Those people only know how to make a fuss about this matter... When Jeffrey and the others realize it, they will definitely not let go of this opportunity. He will definitely let his wife work in the fields, and he will probably find some people to cooperate with them in acting and putting on a show."
Hearing this, Madam Wen Ze flicked her sleeves and said, "Father, you are really wrong. Wouldn't it be better to decide the title earlier? You are the eldest son, and you should inherit the title. What does Jeffrey have to do with it..."
"Hush." Wen Ze looked outside the study room warily, and was relieved when he saw that there was no one outside: "Father, do you think you can say that? Don't worry, this title will be mine sooner or later!!!"
the other side
When Mrs. Jeffrey heard the news, she threw everything on the table to the ground: "Ah! I'm really pissed off!"
Jeffrey rushed back upon hearing the news and asked, "Madam, can you please discuss this with me before you do anything?! I finally ruined Wen Ze's reputation, and you made it better. You said you were going to get close to Gu Nuanyi, but did you go? Why was she the only one who went?"
Lady Jeffrey felt very aggrieved: "That's farming. How can I, a baroness, do the work of a servant?"
"If she can do it, why can't you?" But seeing his wife's tears, Jeffrey paused, and spoke again with a voice full of temptation: "Do you want to be a baroness for the rest of your life? In that case, I won't fight for the title of earl."
"No!!!" Mrs. Jeffrey became even more excited: "I want to be a countess, I want to trample her under my feet"
"She can even put aside her pride and farm. If you want to trample her hard under your feet, then are you going to farm this land or not?"
Mrs. Jeffrey gritted her teeth and said, "Go! If she can go, why can't I? It's just farming, no big deal."
Jeffrey showed a satisfied smile: "When the time comes, I will also ask people to help you spread the word, you must do a good job!"
The next day
Gu Nuanyi was still sleeping in the warm bed when she heard the maid knocking on the door: "Miss, Mrs. Wen Ze is here to visit."
Gu Nuanyi opened her eyes dazedly and glanced at the time on the clock: "8 o'clock? Why is she here so early?"
When Gu Nuanyi finished washing and changing her clothes, Mrs. Wen Ze had already been taken to the reception room by the housekeeper.
As soon as Mrs. Wen Ze saw Gu Nuanyi, she spoke first: "I came at the wrong time, but I do have something important to tell you."
"What is it that would trouble you, Madam, to come and tell me in person?"
"After I came back from your place yesterday, Mrs. Jeffrey wanted to laugh at me for doing the work of a servant, but after she spread the news, the effect did not reach her expectations. Instead, I became loved by many people. So Mrs. Jeffrey will definitely come back to you today."
Gu Nuanyi tilted her head and asked in confusion: "Madam, don't you have your own manor? Why do you have to come to my place?"
Mrs. Wen Ze laughed sarcastically: "Miss Gu, let me tell you this, my father often comes to your place for afternoon tea."
Gu Nuanyi nodded in understanding: "So you came here to show your face in front of the Earl? I can't tell when the Earl will come. If you wait here, you might as well wait in the Earl's castle. What do you think?"
Mrs. Wen Ze admitted frankly: "I originally planned to show off in front of my father, and I also wanted to make friends with you. But when I really went to work in the fields, I suddenly found that this work was really interesting. I only need to concentrate on hoeing the piece in front of me, and my brain can finally rest for a while."
"Madam, you are wrong. Farming is a profound science. If you don't grow the land well, the harvest next year will not be good. Of course, as a countess, you will be given priority to the best grains, fruits and vegetables in the land. You can eat half and throw away the other half, so you won't feel hungry. If you regard farming as a show, I suggest you show it off in your own manor. Your subordinates will cooperate with you. I make a living from the land, so I can't accompany you to complete this show."
Mrs. Wen Ze picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly: "I'm afraid it won't work. You have been targeted by me and the wife of Baron Jeffrey. You can only accompany us to complete this show. However, I will not treat you badly. You are from China, so you must like those ancient artifacts of China very much."
He waved his hand and the maid who had been standing behind him came forward with a tray.
"I give you this pair of enamel pearl orchid earrings and this aquamarine eighteen-bead hand-held device. These two items seem to be from the Qing Dynasty. It took me a lot of effort to get them from a good sister. I give these two items to you."
Gu Nuanyi was unmoved: "No reward without merit"
"Of course it's not given to you for free. I want to ask you to do me a favor. Mrs. Jeffrey wants to be in the limelight. Give her the most difficult land in your manor, and give me a piece of land that is easier to cultivate."
Gu Nuanyi pressed her brows and said, "Don't you two have any other afternoon tea activities? Why do you have to farm? Didn't you like to have afternoon tea and enjoy piano music together before?"
Mrs. Wen Ze shrugged her shoulders. "Having afternoon tea with those noble ladies is nothing more than showing off what you got to each other. You chatter all afternoon until your head hurts, but you can't leave or show any impatience. It's not easy to be a baroness. Someone is watching your every word and action."
