Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 268 Jiao Xing

A horse-drawn carriage bearing the name of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion was driving on the road leading out of the city. The first-class maid Yuzhu next to Pingyang was sitting in the car. Her eyebrows were frowned, and there was no trace of emotion on her beautiful face. A hint of a smile.

The little girl named Lantian on the side saw Yuzhu's dark face and started to persuade her: "Sister, don't worry, she's just a lowly girl. Just take her back as soon as she comes back. What can she do to our princess?"

After Yuzhu heard this, she sighed slightly and replied calmly: "It's not that I'm worried about this girl, I just don't want the princess to lower her profile to please my uncle, and I'm worried that our princess will suffer from this in the future."

Hearing this, Lan Tian also echoed: "The princess really cares about my uncle. Since she cared about my uncle, she has really become a different person. If this continues for a long time, I am afraid she will be eaten up by others."

Even a little girl like Lan Tian could understand it, but it was a pity that the little princess who was in love could not listen to her no matter how much she persuaded her. Yuzhu shook her head helplessly and said to Lan Tian: "I will see that girl later. , don’t bring up the matter of taking her back first, wait until I know her temperament.”

The two came to Longzhuang and handed the pair of cards to the boy who was looking after the house. After a while, the stewardess came out and said with a smile on her face: "It turns out to be the girl next to the third lady, please hurry up." Come in quickly."

Yuzhu smiled at her mother-in-law and replied: "I am here to see Miss Jiao Xing on the order of the third lady in the house. Please help me lead the way."

When the housekeeper heard that they were looking for Jiao Xing, she quickly led the way: "You two girls, please follow me."

Along the way, Yuzhu asked the housekeeper intentionally: "When was this charming girl sent to Zhuangzi?"

 The mother-in-law replied: "Jiao Xing has been here for almost four years."

Yuzhu asked: "Do you know why she was sent here?"

The mother-in-law shook her head and replied: "I don't know the details of this old woman. I only vaguely heard that she is a relative in charge of the house. Her parents are both dead. Her brother and sister-in-law want to sell her to avoid her family." This person was sent here to take refuge by the steward. The steward who sent her here was somewhat respectable in the mansion and told her to take good care of her. I didn't dare to neglect, and gave her a separate courtyard in a secluded part of the backyard, and also gave her a The little girl is taking care of her daily life."

Seeing that what the mother-in-law said was exactly what Li Xiang and the princess had told Yuzhu, she nodded slightly, took off the jade bracelet from her wrist and stuffed it into her mother-in-law's hand.

The mother-in-law hurriedly declined and said: "I have no merit and no salary, so how can I ask for something from a girl for free?"

Yuzhu put something in her hand and asked, "Have you ever dealt with this charming lady? Do you know what kind of person she is?"

The mother-in-law put away the things, the smile on her face became thicker, and she said knowingly: "Although I am in charge of the big and small affairs of this village, this sweet girl has never left the yard all day long since she came here. She deals with people in the village, so I don’t know her very well.”

It can be seen that this person is not a flamboyant person.

After hearing this, Yuzhu felt slightly relieved and stopped talking to the mother-in-law. She and Lan Tian followed the mother-in-law to the small courtyard where Jiao Xing stayed.

The mother-in-law came forward and knocked on the door. They waited for a long time before the wooden door was opened from the inside. A little girl, no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, saw the person who came to the door who was in charge. She showed surprise on her face and hurriedly saluted: "It turned out to be Grandma Zhang. The girl and I were clearing snow in the backyard. We heard a knock on the door and ran over from behind. You must have kept Grandma waiting for a long time. It's really rude."

The mother-in-law replied: "It's okay, I'm bringing people from the house to look for the girl."

After saying that, she introduced to the little girl: "These two girls are people who are close to the third lady in the house. You just have to entertain them." Hearing this, the little girl looked at Yuzhu Lantian on the side and greeted her warmly. He said: "Sisters, please come in quickly."

Yuzhu Lantian followed the little girl into the courtyard. Although the courtyard was not big, it was well organized. There was a plum tree planted in the corner. Although it looked like an ordinary variety, the flowers were in full bloom.

The little girl shouted loudly toward the inside: "Girl, we have a guest!"

After a while, a slightly thin little woman wearing coarse clothes slowly walked out from the back of the house. She also held a small shovel for snow removal in her hand. She looked a little surprised when she saw the two of them.

Lantian glanced at the inconspicuous little girl, looked at Yuzhu who was also shocked, and asked the little girl who led them in with confusion, "Is this Jiao Xing?"

The little girl nodded towards the two of them and said with a smile: "Sisters, please come to the house."

With that said, she ran to Jiao Xing and replied: "Girl, Granny Zhang said these two sisters were sent by the third lady in the mansion."

When she heard about the third lady in the house, Jiao Xing was stunned for a moment. After she calmed down, she put the snow shovel aside, wiped away the snow foam on her body, and quickly came over and saluted the two of them respectfully: " I hope you won’t be offended by the fact that the two sisters are coming here and are not welcomed from afar.”

Generally, the girl who is attracted by the master is not only beautiful but also beautiful, but the one in front of her is really different from what she imagined. Yuzhu suppressed the surprise in her heart and calmly replied: "Girl, please excuse me, we all." He is a servant serving his master and does not need to be so polite."

Even though Yuzhu said this as if he was talking about it, it was also a slap in the face of Jiaoxing.

Jiao Xing heard this, but she was neither humble nor arrogant and said: "Even if we are both servants and my sister is by my wife's side, she can naturally bear this gift from me."

As she spoke, she stretched her arms towards the visitor and made a "please" gesture: "It's cold outside, so you two sisters can talk inside the room."

Yuzhu and Lantian glanced at each other subconsciously again, and followed her into the house.

The place where Jiao Xing stayed was just a two-room wooden house. It was not spacious, but it was extremely clean and tidy. The simple furnishings looked as if they had been washed in water. Even the blue bricks on the floor were swept smooth. Clean, not stained by fine dust.

Yuzhu and Lantian sat down on the chairs. The little girl brought tea and said cheerfully: "We rarely have guests here, so we don't prepare any good tea. This is what our girls picked from the tea trees planted in the back garden." If you two sisters don’t dislike it, just try it.”

After hearing this, Yuzhu couldn't help but look at Jiao Xing who was sitting opposite.

As far as beauty is concerned, apart from her eyes, this woman is quite passable. There is really nothing outstanding about her body.

She had originally thought that the woman who had seduced the third master of the palace, who even broke the family rules and bravely went to her princess to plead with her before marriage, might have such a charming and charming appearance. , seeing that this person turned out to be so ordinary, Yuzhu was unable to utter a single word of what she had planned to say to her.
