Chapter 120
Jing Qin turned his head when he heard the sound, his expression was still as gentle as jade, and his tone was soft, "I heard that the second younger sister hasn't been to the eldest princess's mansion today?"

"Yes! Last night, I suffered from a bit of wind and cold. I had a headache this morning, so I just hid for a while and made my second brother laugh at me." Xu Jiao replied with a smile, wondering in her heart, did she come to the door specially for this purpose?

"Really? Seeing that the second sister is getting better now?"

"It's not a big deal at all, it's nothing if I slept." Xu Jiao smiled back.

"That's good." Jing Qin nodded, his tone still warm, "Second sister is young now, but she should also pay attention to her body, especially at night, don't sleep too late, it will hurt her health."

Xu Jiao's eyelids rolled up in shock, her heart beat like a drum, a sentence that sounded so ordinary at first glance, but because of her guilty conscience, it gave birth to a different kind of deep meaning.

However, what caught my eye was Jing Qin's smiling face, as warm and moist as jade, Zhilan Yushu, just like usual.But she couldn't see through this person, and she wasn't sure whether what he said just now was intentional or unintentional.

"Recently there have been a lot of troubles in Feng'an City. I had a discussion with my grandfather earlier and felt that the guards in our house need to be strengthened. I just remembered that you and your aunt are in the corner of Hengwu Garden on the way here. I'm afraid It is easier to attract Xiaoxiao's covetousness, so the patrol and defense on your side should be tightened up, I will discuss it with my grandfather when I turn back, and grandfather will also talk about the aunt's side, so as not to make her feel conflicted." Jing Qin said as he spoke. , while quietly staring at Xu Jiao.

Now Xu Jiao was finally sure that it was intentional, and it was aimed at her.It seems that what happened last night has been missed.

She understood in her heart, but Xu Jiao's face was obedient and grateful, she nodded and said, "Second brother is really thoughtful! My mother and I are orphans and widows, so I need to thank my grandfather and brothers to take care of me."

Jing Qin looked at her, and after a while, he suddenly widened his smile, "Second sister is really sensible, you know, your surname is Jing, and you wear the honor and disgrace of the Jing family on your body, so you must be cautious in every word and action, including the two The people around my younger sister should also be more restrained. By the way... isn't there a maid named Lixue next to the second younger sister? She looks very clever, why isn't she here?"

Xu Jiao felt cold in his heart, but the smile on his face was still sweet with a touch of doubt, "Today, I'm not on duty. However, the second brother can remember the name of a maid beside me, which really makes me a little...unbelievable. "

Jing Qin smiled lightly, "Naturally, I will be more concerned about the people and things around my second sister. In the future, I still need to count on my second sister to continue to be sensible and win more honor for our Jingfu."

After sending the person away, Xu Jiao's face darkened, and he said coldly to Banlan, "Go! Ask Lingxue to come see me!"

"Yes!" Banlan was both happy and uneasy, thinking that it would be bad luck for the snow, what would the lady think if Mr. Erlang deliberately mentioned her as a maid in front of the lady?It's strange that she can be easily spared!

But they are all serving by the lady's side, and sometimes it is inevitable to feel cold.

After Negative Snow came, Xu Jiao kicked everyone out and made people close the door.

Ban Lan didn't dare to eavesdrop, but when the door was closed, she could faintly hear Xu Jiao's furious reprimand...

Inside the door, when Xu Jiao said what Jingqin said, Lingxue changed her expression, and immediately knelt down and said, "It's all the maidservant's fault. I must have not noticed that there is a tail behind her. The maidservant rushed to the soap immediately." Jiaoxiang, send Dr. An away."

"No!" Xu Jiao narrowed his eyes and shook his head, "I'm afraid it's too late."

"The Princess means..." The blood on Neg Xue's face suddenly disappeared.

"Lengxue, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay by my side any longer. I'm afraid you'll be in danger. We can use this incident to put on a show. Although we may still be watched for a while after we go out, as long as you Keep a low profile, so he won't waste time on you..." This idea has been circling in Xu Jiao's mind since just now, and now he finally said it.

The last trace of blood on Neg Xue's face was exhausted, but she knelt straight with her lips pursed, and said firmly, "No! The servant girl will never leave the princess's side no matter what! Leaving the house, in the eyes of those with a heart, I am afraid that I will be charged with a guilty conscience."

"If you don't leave, won't you confirm their guess? Lixue, they really doubted you from the beginning, and now they suspect me too... Lixue, if you don't leave, you will only hurt me!" Xu Jiao turned his face to one side, and said sneeringly, maybe it was because he had been with He Lianshu for a long time, and he had learned the essence, so he was very capable of bluffing people.

Negative Xue was not frightened by her, she still had a pale face, but she said firmly, "If you want to be implicated, you will be implicated long ago. If you doubt, you will doubt. They have no real evidence, so they can't do anything to us. Besides, the princess is still the princess. , and even the second lady of the Jing family. Didn’t Mr. Erlang also say that just now? Princess, your surname is Jing, what he said today is just a beating. The princess is a bargaining chip for the royal family and the eldest princess, otherwise the princess will never be easily abandoned."

"Then no matter how suspicious he is of the princess, even if he is sure of the identity of the princess, he will only keep the princess." At this time, Lingxue returned to the way she was before entering Jingfu, cold as ice, but proud, Have a firm mind and will not be easily shaken by others.

"You are really..." Xu Jiao gritted his teeth, he only spoke half of the words, and he couldn't say the rest.

No one in the Jing Mansion knew exactly what the master and servant said behind closed doors.I only know that the second lady got angry that day, and threatened to drive Lingxue out of the house, but Lingxue didn't say a word, and knelt outside the door of Mingyueju's main room for half a day.

Later, it was Qinniang who heard the news and hurried over to talk to Erniangzi, thus temporarily saving Lingxue.

Negative snow wanted to thank her, but the second lady didn't even see her face, and just let her go back through the door, which shows that she detested her.

Sure enough, after that, even though Negative Snow was still serving by Er Niangzi's side, Er Niangzi hardly used her much anymore, she was sensible and didn't dare to move forward easily, she was as quiet as a shadow.

Of course, this is something for later, so I won’t show it here for the time being.

On the second day, Xu Jiao left the eldest princess' mansion at about the same time as in the past.

She kept her eyes closed in the carriage and did not know if she fell asleep.

"Princess!" Hongying was on duty today, and on the way, she called Xu Jiao in a low voice.

Xu Jiao opened her eyes and looked at her. Hongying hesitated for a while, then lowered her voice and said, "Princess, it seems that someone is following us." .

Unexpectedly, as soon as he moved his hand, it was suppressed by Xu Jiao's skillful hand.

Xu Jiao looked at her with burning eyes, "Hongying, are you willing to follow me in the future?"

Just now at the eldest princess's mansion, the eldest princess just asked her about the wind and cold, and her attitude was the same as usual.
