Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 282 Fate

The night was dark, with only a crescent moon casting some hazy light.

　　Although it is early spring, the night wind is still mixed with cold air, which makes it feel cool on the face.

As soon as he left the gate of Qingfeng Garden, Jiang Youchen felt that the alcohol was welling up, his stomach was burning badly, and his head was swollen. His steps were slightly shaky, and he was walking drowsily outside the palace when he met the oncoming man. One person hit his arms full.

Jiang Youchen bumped into no one else but Murong Lizhu.

This may be due to fate.

Although Murong Lizhu took a fancy to Jiang Youchen, she did not find him intentionally. Li Ling hosted a banquet with Jiang Youchen in Qingfeng Garden. How could anyone else know about it? Murong Lizhu just happened to meet him by accident.

Today, the old lady stayed with Murong Lizhu for dinner at Anxi Hall. The old lady recently got some fine blood swallows. The old lady was thinking about her two pregnant granddaughter-in-law, so after the meal she talked about what she wanted to give to Xu Wanning and Jingshu. After sending it over, Murong Lizhu, who was beside the old lady, heard about it and casually accepted this small errand.

Love is something that disturbs people's minds. Ever since Li Ling and the old lady mentioned Jiang Youchen, Murong Lizhu, who had always been the most observant of rules and honors, felt like grass had grown in her heart, and she was thinking about this matter all day long uncontrollably. She probably had something in mind, so when the old lady mentioned sending bird's nests to Jingshu, Murong Lizhu couldn't help but accepted the task without hesitation. In fact, such a thing could have been delivered by the servants.

After leaving Anxi Hall, Murong Lizhu began to regret a little: Li Lingjingshu had just arranged a matchmaking with her, and she rushed over like this. Would people misunderstand that she was taking the opportunity to find out the news? Do you think she is too impatient and unsteady and reserved?

Murong Lizhu held the bird's nest and walked to Qingfeng Garden with her head buried in her hands. She was a little absent-minded because she was entangled in things.

She was like this, and she bumped into Jiang Youchen, who had just come out of Qingfeng Garden and was also confused due to drunkenness.

The man was very strong, and he was drunk and lost his head. Murong Lizhu was knocked to the ground firmly by Jiang Youchen. She lay on the ground in a state of embarrassment, her body was numb from the impact, and the bird's nest in her hand was scattered all over the floor.

This sudden little accident made Jiang Youchen wake up. He hurriedly said apologetic words and quickly reached out to help the woman who was knocked to the ground by him.

　　Although Murong Lizhu, who was lying on the ground, was panicked by the sudden collision, when she saw that the other person was a man, she adhered to the etiquette and did not help him get up.

Ling Xiao, who was following Jiang Youchen, quickly stepped forward when she saw this. After seeing the person knocked down by Jiang Youchen, she hurriedly asked: "It turns out to be Miss Lizhu Biao, are you okay?"

The impact caused Murong Lizhu to be thrown badly. After he recovered, he slowly got up, panting slightly and replied to Ling Xiao: "I'm fine."

Ling Xiao quickly helped pick up the bird's nests scattered on the ground and muttered: "The young master of the Jiang family just had some wine with the prince. The prince's wife repeatedly told the young master to take care of him and send him back. They are all young masters." I was careless and forgot to carry a lamp when I came out. I couldn't see clearly due to the darkness, so Mr. Jiang bumped into my cousin."

Murong Lizhu was suddenly knocked down by the man. She did not dare to cross the rules and look at him. When she heard that it was the young master of the Jiang family, she couldn't help but look at the man.

Jiang Youchen was indeed very drunk today, but his mind was still sober. After he calmed down, he quickly stepped forward, saluted Murong Lizhu and apologized: "Jiang was drunk today and accidentally bumped into Miss Murong. I still hope that Forgive me, girl.”

There was a short distance between the two of them, and Murong Lizhu could clearly smell the smell of alcohol coming from Jiang Youchen. She always disliked the smell of alcohol from men, but the other party's sincere apology made her happy. Unable to feel any disgust, she lowered her head and replied in a low voice: "Young Master Jiang also bumped into me accidentally. It's just a trivial matter, I won't be surprised."

 “Thank you, girl.”

Jiang Youchen had been half-hunched over to apologize to Murong Lizhu. Faced with Murong Lizhu's tolerance and generosity, Jiang Youchen's stomach was churning before he could say his words of thanks. Then, he drank the wine unprepared. With a "wow" sound, he spat it out. Murong Lizhu's skirt was splashed across her face.

This gentle, elegant and spotless Jiang Youchen has experienced such a big embarrassment for the first time in his life.

Moreover, he was in front of the girl who others had just said was a matchmaker for him.

 When Jingshu woke up, her side was empty.

She stood up and asked Ziyun, who was slowly coming in after hearing the sound, "Where is he?"

Ziyun glanced at his young lady's still expressionless face, suppressing a smile and replied: "My uncle got into such a big trouble yesterday. He was probably afraid that you would blame him, so he got up before dawn today and ran away to the camp."

Jing Shu laughed angrily: "Yesterday I saw him drunk and sleeping deeply, so I didn't argue with him. Today he ran away before dawn. I want to see how long he can hide."

Ziyun smiled and said: "When I left, I asked the small kitchen to prepare a lot of food that you like. You should make good use of it. When you have enough strength, you can settle the accounts with me."

Jingshu put on her clothes and got off the ground. While holding up her hair, she snorted coldly and said: "He thinks that he can get over it by showing some courtesy to me? Humph! There is no way for me to do it now. It seems that he is getting more and more daring not to take me seriously. Let’s see how I deal with him when he comes back from duty.”

Jingshu had breakfast and was just about to take a few girls out to eat when a message came through the door that the mother-in-law came in and replied: "Madam, there is a Sun lady who claims to be the wet nurse of the Young Master of the Jiang family. She is outside asking for an audience."

After hearing this, Jingshu was stunned for a moment, and then she muttered to Ziyun beside her as if she couldn't believe it: "Is it Sun Amu?"

Ziyun smiled and said: "Since she is said to be the third young master's wet nurse, she must be her old lady."

Jingshu quickly told her mother-in-law: "Please come in soon."

With that said, she held Ziyun's hand and went out in person, but she said in surprise: "With your temper, how could you come to visit me?"

As Jiang Youchen’s wet nurse, Sun Amu has always complained that Li Ling took away Jingshu. Every time she mentioned this matter, she couldn’t help but complain, and how could she be willing to visit the gate of Zhen Guogong’s mansion.

Ziyun looked at Jingshu and guessed, "Could it be that the Third Young Master has changed his mind again and agreed to this marriage?"

Murong Lizhu is indeed a rare and good girl. Jiang Youchen has seen the beautiful Murong Lizhu before. It would not be surprising if Jiang Youchen is willing to accept this marriage. However, he personally refused the marriage yesterday. In just one night, he actually Changed my mind.

Although Jiang Youchen has a gentle temper, he is not a person who is prone to repetition.
