Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 269 Some respect

In front of the two well-dressed female officials in Pingyang, Jiao Xing looked calm and neither humble nor overbearing. She held the teapot and slowly poured tea for Yuzhu Lantian, and said lightly: "The third lady ordered the two sisters to come, but there are Do you want the two of you to tell me something?"

Yuzhu took a sip of tea, her mind was spinning, and she asked, "Does the girl know about the third master's marriage?"

Jiao Xing nodded and replied calmly: "I only found out about it when I received the happy fruits distributed by the manager of the village a while ago."

I heard that my sweetheart is already married, yet he can still be so calm. Yuzhu somewhat admired Jiao Xing's calm state of mind, and she asked again: "Then does the girl know which noble daughter the third master married?"

Jiao Xing shook her head gently and replied, "I don't know about this."

The marriage between the most noble Prince Yong's Mansion in Daqi and the famous Zhenguo Duke's Mansion was known to everyone even by the street vendors. Yuzhu didn't believe that Jiao Xing, a person who had a past with Li Xiang, would not know about it.

Jiao Xing said calmly: "My sister and I are telling the truth. I rarely interact with people in this village, and I never inquire about outside affairs."

Although this matter was a bit unbelievable, Yuzhu glanced at Jiao Xing's calm look and couldn't help but believe what she said.

“The third master is marrying the younger brother of the current emperor, the legitimate daughter of Prince Yong, and the princess of Pingyang County.” Yuzhu said to Jiao Xing word by word.

Jiao Xing had no reaction after hearing this. She also looked indifferent and replied: "The third master is an excellent person, and he deserves to be a good match."

 After all this, Yuzhu was confused.

  I can’t understand this Jiao Xing more and more.

Yuzhu looked at Jiaoxing and asked, "Do you want to go back to the mansion again?"

Jiao Xing had a helpless smile on her face and replied: "Whether I go back or not is not up to me."

He is quite self-aware.

Since he was just a mediocre-looking person and did not look like a scheming person, Yuzhu said directly: "To be honest, I am here to take you back on the order of the princess."

Jiao Xing was a little surprised when she heard this.

Seeing her confusion, Yuzhu said half-truthfully: "About you, the third master told the princess everything from the bottom of his heart when he was engaged to the princess, and the third master also promised the princess that he would marry the princess. , I will never accept another woman again."

She looked at Jiao Xing: "Our princess is a kind-hearted person. I thought that since you had been with the third master before, I would take you back and put you in a safe place."

"Do you understand what this means?" Yuzhu said this implicitly, fearing that she would not understand, so she asked meaningfully.

Jiao Xing nodded, her face still calm, and she replied calmly and truthfully: "I understand what sister means. There is no man from a powerful family who does not accept concubines. It is rare that the third master can be so affectionate to the princess. The princess The main thing is to stop Youyou's mouth, but also to gain a reputation."

“Sister, am I right?”

Yuzhu didn't expect her to say it so frankly, but it was good, it would prevent her from having any unwanted thoughts in the future, and it would save her worries. "Sister thinks highly of me. I understand my identity better than anyone else, and I have never had any inappropriate thoughts." Jiao Xing looked at Yuzhu and continued.

Yuzhu raised her eyes to look at Jiao Xing's clear eyes, smiled awkwardly, and replied: "It's rare for a girl to be an understanding person. We are all slaves. I can understand your situation, but don't worry, our princess is a A kind person, if you can keep your duty, she will not treat you badly."

I don’t know why, after getting along for a short time, Yuzhu’s previous hostility towards Jiaoxing gradually dissipated a bit, and these words came from the bottom of his heart.

Jiao Xing said nothing, only nodded slightly.

Yu Zhu glanced at Lan Tian who was beside her, and then said to Jiao Xing: "Since you understand, I won't say any more. Just clean up and come back with me."

Jiao Xing was stunned after hearing this, and Yu Zhu repeated: "The princess asked you to go back. Do you have any concerns?"

Jiao Xing hurriedly replied: "Of course I know the princess's good intentions. It's just that the third master just married the princess, so he took me back. That's it."

Yuzhu thought that Jiaoxing would follow her back happily, but she didn't expect that this little girl could be so knowledgeable. She sighed helplessly and could only lie: "It's not appropriate to take you back at this time, but Next month is the third master’s eighteenth birthday, and the princess thought it would be better to have a family reunion at the third master’s coronation ceremony, which would look good to people outside.”

Although Yuzhu said the words perfectly, Jiaoxing declined politely: "The princess has good intentions, but she is the third master's wife, and she and the third master are a family. It doesn't matter whether I go back or not, so Outsiders would not care about my small role. On the contrary, the third master and the princess have just gotten married, and outsiders are all children of the Zhenguo Duke's palace and cannot take concubines before they are married. If I show up at this time, it will seem that the third master is not stable enough. "

 After hearing Jiao Xing’s sensible words, Yu Zhu truly developed some respect for her.

She looked at Jiao Xing and smiled: "The girl is really knowledgeable, no wonder she is favored by the Third Master."

Jiao Xing hurriedly waved her hands and said: "I am a lowly girl, so I don't have any knowledge. What happened with the third master was just because I was young and ignorant. Sister, please don't say this to offend me."

When Yuzhu came to pick up Jiaoxing on Pingyang's order, he originally planned to give her a good warning first, and then take her back after she knew the severity. She didn't expect Jiao Xing to be like this, which made her unable to go back to Ping Yang to resume her life.

Just as Yuzhu was about to speak again, Jiaoxing seemed to have read through her thoughts and said to her: "I know my sister is in trouble. When you go back, just say that I still have some things to deal with here, so I can't go back for the time being." .”

Yuzhuliu frowned slightly and asked, "Then when do you plan to go back?"

Jiao Xing thought for a moment and replied: "If the princess really wants me to return to the house, then at least wait until she has been married to the third master for half a year. This is also good for the princess. Sister, what do you think?"

How could Yuzhu not know that her princess was so eager to take Jiao Xing back? She just wanted to show off her virtuous and generous nature, and it was just to please Li Xiang. She had not thought about her situation at all: her husband died in the house less than half a year after the marriage. With a concubine, if word spreads, everyone will definitely think that she, a wealthy princess, is not popular with her husband.

 Yuzhu tried to persuade Pingyang a lot for this, but she was so focused on pleasing Li Xiang that she was unable to do anything.

After hearing what Jiao Xing said, Yuzhu smiled slightly and replied, "That's just like what the girl said."

Ha

grateful!
