Noble Lady Jing Zhao

Chapter 274 Take her back
"That's fine. You go early and come back early. Slow down on the road."

Madam Ye San, Mrs. Jiang, gave a few careful instructions.

Ye Jingzhao went out with red dates.

I got on the carriage and went straight to the village where I saw Xue Miaoyue when Hong Zao came back last time.

Last time, I was in a hurry to rush back to Kyoto, so I didn't have time to meet him.

Now the matters in hand are finally properly handled.

Only then did she embark on her journey.

The carriage arrived at the village outside the city.

Hongzao got off the carriage first and went to find out Miss Xue's specific address.

The carriage was waiting outside the village.

But the rural farmers at the entrance of the village have never seen such a posture.

Everyone gathered at a distance, whispering to each other.

From time to time someone raised his hand and pointed at the carriage.

Although curious, no one really came forward to disturb me.

By the time Hong Zao came back, less than half an hour had passed.

"Fourth Miss, I have inquired about Miss Xue's residence, but the road in the village is not easy to walk. I'm afraid I have to ask Fourth Miss to get off the carriage and go there on foot."

Ye Jingzhao nodded.

Hong Zao took the curtain hat and tied it carefully for Miss Fourth.

She got off the carriage first and waited for the fourth lady in the carriage.

The crowd watching in the distance has not dispersed yet.

I saw Ye Jingzhao getting off the carriage.

The discussion stopped abruptly.

Hongzao carefully guarded behind the fourth lady.

There were two boys behind him.

When we entered the village, we were right next to the foot of the mountain. The road in the village was a bit wet and muddy.

Ye Jingzhao's skirt was inevitably stained with some mud.

But these did not stop her from moving forward.

Until we reached a dilapidated house.

"Miss Fourth, we're here."

Ye Jingzhao stopped and lifted the veil in front of him.

Through the fence, I saw the desolate and dilapidated scene inside.

I was shocked.

Xue Miaoyue has been pampered since she was a child. She previously wrote that everything is fine.

How come we are in such a situation now?

The fence at the gate was not locked.

Hong Zao pushed it away with a gentle push.

The master and servant walked in.

The two boys behind him were left waiting outside by Ye Jingzhao.

"Who is it?"

The master and servant walked to the door of the room and suddenly heard a soft female voice coming from inside the room.

"Miaoyue, it's me."

Ye Jingzhao replied.

"Jing Zhao?"

The voice of the woman in the room was filled with surprise and disbelief.

He trotted all the way to the door of the room.

Xue Miaoyue raised the corners of her lips and pushed open the door.

Take a look at the girl in front of you.

His eyes were full of disbelief.

"Jing Zhao, why are you here? How did you find me?"

Xue Miaoyue excitedly pulled her into the room to talk.

"A few days ago, the maid came out to do errands and said she saw a figure that looked like you from the back."

Ye Jingzhao smiled and replied, "So, I came here today to see if it's you."

The two of them said that they had already arrived inside the house.

Xue Miaoyue went to pick up the teapot, but saw the broken and worn teacup.

There was a look of embarrassment on his face, "Jing Zhao, I'm sorry, this..."

She waved the tea cup in her hand, full of embarrassment.

Ye Jingzhao smiled and took the tea cup from her hand.

"It doesn't matter."

Xue Miaoyue looked at the tea cup placed in front of Ye Jingzhao.

Just then he smiled in relief and made a cup of tea for her.

"How will you be here?"

Ye Jingzhao casually asked her about her past these days. "Don't you have a maid with you?"

Ye Jingzhao raised his eyes and looked around the room, but saw no sign of anyone else.

Recalling that before she left, she obviously took a maid with her.

Now the maid has disappeared.

A trace of sadness flashed across Xue Miaoyue's face, and she sighed heavily.

Her tone was full of helplessness, "Earlier, we were walking all the way north, thinking of shopping first, but who knew we encountered a flash flood halfway, and she lost her life trying to save me..."

"Later, I came here. The people here are simple and honest, so I stayed here."

Xue Miaoyue's eyes were filled with gray.

She had been full of expectations, but in the end she ended up like this.

I feel somewhat regretful in my heart.

If he had not left Kyoto, would the people around him have lost their lives?
But she had no way of knowing all this.

Now that she is living a happy life here, she is already very content.

After hearing this, Ye Jingzhao felt a little dumb in his heart.

He asked some more about her past plans.

After a long silence, he finally said, "Miaoyue, do you plan to hide here forever and never come out?"

Xue Miaoyue's face was slightly stunned and she didn't answer for a while.

After a long time, she lowered her eyes.

She didn't know how to answer.

I once left Kyoto full of fighting spirit.

But what happened next, in the end, dashed her expectations.

Along the way, I found this place and found a place to stay.

She has gone through many difficulties.

Ye Jingzhao saw her hesitation and embarrassment.

No further questions were asked.

After a while, I saw her mood calmed down.

Just then, he spoke earnestly again and began to persuade, "Miaoyue, you'd better go back with me. If you don't want to go back to Xue's house, you can choose any of the shops I have now, and I'll leave them to you to take care of in the future."

The Xue family in Kyoto is no longer what it used to be.

And since Xue Miaoyue left, I heard that the elders of the Xue family often miss her.

I also sent people to look for him, but there was no news after that.

Simply gave up.

Thinking that it has been so long, everyone should have let it go.

"Miao Yue, if things don't work out again, I'll find you a place to live outside the city. It's a bit inconvenient here."

Ye Jingzhao looked around the room.

The scenery and decoration inside the house are a bit chilling to look at.

She held Xue Miaoyue's hand tightly, "Miaoyue, if you live closer, we can see each other more often in the future."

Xue Miaoyue didn't have many friends in Kyoto.

Apart from Ye Jingzhao, there was no one else.

"Okay, Jing Zhao, I will cause trouble for you in the future."

Xue Miaoyue took a deep breath and raised her eyes to look at Ye Jingzhao, her eyes filled with gratitude.

Ye Jingzhao shook his head slightly, indicating that she didn't have to be polite.

Hongzao immediately helped Xue Miaoyue pack her luggage.

Because Xue Miaoyue has been living here for some time.

The farm aunts in this village took good care of her.

Now that I see her leaving, I feel a little reluctant to leave.

They all brought their own fresh vegetables and fruits to see them off.

"Miaoyue, my aunt has nothing good at home. Please accept these fruits and vegetables."

"Aunt Li, no need..."

Xue Miaoyue declined, but everyone insisted.

In the end, she had no choice but to accept the kindness of the villagers.

She looked at Ye Jingzhao with an apologetic look on his face.

Ye Jingzhao understood her thoughts and explained, "Miaoyue, it's okay."

After saying that, she asked Hong Zao to take out the money she carried and handed it to Xue Miaoyue.

"Miaoyue, go."

The life of farmers in the countryside is not easy.

Now these can also allow Xue Miaoyue and everyone to express their feelings.

"Jing Zhao, thank you."

Xue Miaoyue took the purse and distributed the money inside to the villagers.

"Jing Zhao, are you looking at Xiuzhuang's shop? I like clean places now."

As the carriage entered Kyoto, Xue Miaoyue slowly spoke.
