Young man, please stay

Chapter 259 What if I have a guilty conscience?

Qin Lang didn't know one thing about Li Jiao'e tonight.

That was when she went to the woodshed to take a shower, Li Jiao'e had already left the princess's mansion.

To be precise, Xing'er was brought to the door of the princess's mansion.

……

"Here, Madam rewards you."

"So many? I can't do it, I can't do it..."

"What's wrong? And this, "Zhu Yan" was just released this month. This issue is said to be very popular in Jingzhou and Yangzhou. It's hard to get it in the capital. Here it is for you~"

"Sister Xing'er, is this too much?"

"It's okay. You performed well this time. You never said anything Madam likes to hear. You deserve it."

In front of Li Jiao'e, 80% of Li Jiao'e's body was burned out, which made Xing'er somewhat distressed:

"Ah?...Ah, yes, I also...can't bear to let you go..."

Holding Li Jiao'e's hands, Xing'er could clearly feel the coolness on her skin:

However, when Li Jiao'e, who had hesitated to speak several times, raised her eyes again, her eyes were filled with water:
"What if I have a guilty conscience..."

"Remember... I was testing that young hero Qin to see if he could be attracted to me..."

Li Jiao'e said, sniffing her delicate nose:

As a maid, Myolie can understand Li Jiao'e's worries.

"Okay, Sister Xing'er, thank you."

"it's okay no problem."

"Jiao'e, do you still know the purpose of Madam lending you here this time?"

"It's just... after I go back this time, if my lady or the princess feels that I have some inappropriate feelings for Qin Shaoxia, and then blames me for it..."

"For example, if your young lady asks you about tonight or this time, just answer the truth."

"What are you worried about?"

Li Jiao'e was silent. Xing'er was a little surprised to see a hint of drunken red in the corners of Li Jiao'e's eyes in the night. Then she remembered the madam's instructions and asked softly and hesitantly:

"What if... well... just in case Uncle Qin is still interested in you? You are so popular in the general's house, otherwise Madam wouldn't lend you here, right? Uncle Qin also said that after him The main reason why he rejects you is because he and the women around him have... had very unforgettable experiences. To put it bluntly, the upper limit is a bit too high. It's not that you are not good enough. Don't say anything about your qualifications. You are destined to not be destined. Ha.”

Li Jiao'e took Xing'er's hands and forced out a smile as if to comfort her:
"We are maids, so we can't be our own masters."

There is no way, in the words of "The Beauty", people like Mr. Qin are the so-called "heart-loving arsonists".

"Jiao'e, what happened this time? I think what Madam did is really unreasonable. Mainly because you know that our Madam, when she was young... bah bah bah! Of course Madam is young now! I mean, she From the past until now, I may have been more ignorant about things between men and women than us maids, so I came up with such a bad idea, ugh..."

"..."

After hearing Xing'er's words, Li Jiao'e smiled sweetly and said:

Xing'er's heart skipped a beat at that moment.

"But Sister Xing'er..."

"Eh?"

Li Jiao'e said, her voice gradually lowered:

"Sister Xing'er, I'm actually a little worried."

"On the contrary, I would like to thank Madam for giving me this opportunity and allowing me to meet such a person that I was not qualified to meet in my life... It's just that we are destined to be destined not to be..."

Myolie said this, but she called her silly sister in her heart, you and I have never met each other a few times in the house, what are you reluctant to part with?

"Jiao'e..."

"..."

However, after thinking about it for a while, I still reassured and said:
"Myolie, don't be afraid. I still know my wife very well, and so do your ladies. They are not as overbearing and unreasonable as some masters."

"Sister Xing'er, I know what you mean."

"I just treat everything this time as a dream, as long as I can help Madam. In fact, after staying in this house for so long, you are the one I really can't let go of."

"No...silly girl, don't think so."

Damn it, is this girl really...

"..."

Although I have had this premonition for a long time, it is not a surprise...

"Anyway, it's all Madam's bad idea. You are just acting on occasion with Uncle Qin. You are not afraid of shadows when you are upright. What are you afraid of when you have a clear conscience?"

Alas, helpless.

Looking at the downcast look in this girl's eyes, there must be someone else who is really reluctant to let go.

"Besides, this matter is actually not a matter of decision-making. Qin... he... made his words clear enough tonight. I can see clearly that his attitude has nothing to do with my identity."

Myolie also knows that her uncle is indeed qualified to be the "heart arsonist".

He has only been in the capital for a short time and is too low-key. Otherwise, he would make many ladies drool in this huge capital.

Well…

There are even some people who drool, and it may not necessarily be the mouth above...

……

Women know women best. Myolie was born in the palace of a dignified princess. What kind of gossip has she not heard about the female relatives of other princes and noble families? It is inevitable that the studies are a bit complicated, but sometimes as a maid, it is definitely not convenient to show off.

For example, the brushes Madam used in the study were always wet. Even though Myolie felt like Ming Jing, she always pretended not to know anything.

Also quoting from "The Beauty", this is called "the self-cultivation of a personal maid."

----------

Just like that, at midnight, a carriage drove from the Princess's Mansion to the General's Mansion to the west of the palace.

"Uu——"

Not long after, the carriage stopped at a rather spectacular mansion. Apart from the difference in style, it was no less gorgeous than the Princess's mansion.

This is the General's Mansion. It is also the capital, or the General's Mansion that is often referred to in the Central Plains area, and the General's Mansion far north of Mangzhou, where Zhu Yueshan always lives, are two different places.

In name, both mansions are naturally given to Dazhu Kingdom.

But in terms of actual use, General Zhu is stationed in the north all year round. This mansion in the capital is naturally for his only daughter Zhu Hongling, one of the leaders of the Yulin Guards [Ben Lei].

But this time, in order to realize her bad idea, a certain princess borrowed a very excellent personal maid, Li Jiao'e, from Zhu Hongling.

……

"Miss."

In the practice room of the General's Mansion, the lights were still brightly lit in the middle of the night, and the sound of "bang bang bang" was endless.

Li Jiao'e changed her clothes and saluted a figure who was punching a sandbag from behind:
"I am back."

"Oh."

The sound of punching paused:

"How about it?"

"The tasks ordered by the princess have been completed. According to Sister Xing'er, the princess is satisfied."

"Okay, that's good."

"..."

The sound of punches continued, but even Li Jiao'e could clearly hear that her young lady's rhythm and movements were slightly out of whack.

"Miss."

"..."

"Miss?"

"Uh?"

"Don't you have any questions for me?"

"Um...ahem...um...yes, it's not nothing. Let's just take a break."

Zhu Hongling wiped the sweat from her forehead, and her face without a mask was softly revealed in the candlelight. Even Li Jiao'e, as a personal maid, had to sigh at the beauty of the young lady no matter how many times.

Because of this contrast, the impression given is really special.

If it weren't for the heroic spirit in the young lady's eyebrows, it would be difficult for Li Jiao'e to associate such a face with the sandbags, stone locks and other things that filled the room in the practice room.

Especially the finishing touch under the left corner of the lady's eye, tsk tsk...

"Jiao'e, then... let me ask you something."

"Miss, tell me."

"Just... Su Yinping and Qin Lang, are they reconciled?"

"I don't know about this. It depends on their follow-up. Anyway, according to Sister Xing'er's wishes, I have done everything I can do. The princess treats Brother Xiao Qin..."

"?"

"Yes... I am said to be quite satisfied with Shaoxia Qin's performance."

"I see, um, that means that boy rejected you, right?"

"..."

"Speak? Did he reject you?"

"Um…"

"Oh, please be louder. Brother Qin has rejected you, right? Are you decisive? Or are you being coy?"

"..."

After all, the maids of other people's families are different from the maids of their own families.

When Li Jiao'e is in the princess's palace, she must be careful about all aspects of her words and deeds.

However, in her own home, as a personal maid, she is sometimes qualified to show some small emotions in front of her own lady.

For example, now, seeing Zhu Hongling seeming to be gloating about being rejected, her eyes sparkling, Li Jiao'e felt angry and her nose couldn't help but feel sour, and she said in a muffled voice. :
"Miss, please don't forget that Jiao'e's visit this time was just for fun."

"This... we know..."

Zhu Hongling was a little strange. Why did she feel that Jiao'e suddenly seemed a little unhappy?

"Speaking of which, why did the young lady agree to the princess' request this time?"

"Uh…"

It's bad, my tone is rushing, I'm afraid...

"Young lady, you should usually disdain this kind of trickery."

"It's usually normal, but this time it's like this..."

"Is there anything different this time? After all, isn't it still a matter between Qin Shaoxia, the princess, and your majesty? Why did the young lady agree to intervene?"

"Because...because..."

Zhu Hongling lowered her head and looked at her beautiful hands. She didn't say anything for a long time, but there was an imperceptible halo on her cheeks.

hateful…

Because how can I say something like "We are also curious about his emotional attitude towards women"...

"Jiao'e is exhausted both physically and mentally. She should go to bed first. Miss, please rest early."

Li Jiao'e took a deep breath, calmed down, turned and left.

On the way back to the room, looking at the stars surrounding the bright moon in the sky, Li Jiao'e suddenly felt envious of Myolie.

She is also a personal maid. When the princess marries Qin Lang, Xing'er can marry her.

But what about yourself?

My young lady doesn’t seem to be the type to get married, so of course I can’t think of anything else for the rest of my life... Sigh...
