In the corner of the long street at the back door of King Yong's mansion, a well-dressed girl with a handkerchief in her hand looked very entangled, only occasionally glanced at the guards outside the door, lowered her head again, and hesitated.

Even if the guard at the door stood still like a mountain, he couldn't help but mutter, what the hell is this girl doing, she has been here for an hour, and she sees that the sun is about to set.

The darkest-skinned guard couldn't hold it back, and shouted at the girl, and shouted with a smile: "Girl, you've been standing here all afternoon, but what's the matter?" Who are you looking for? ”

The girl seemed to be a little embarrassed, but she bowed generously, approached and said, "I am the maidservant of the Linjiang Hou Mansion, I will inquire for our young lady, is the county lord of Zhaoyang very good?" ”

When the guard heard this, he frowned and looked the girl up and down, "The maid of the Linjiang Marquis family? Don't talk nonsense here, if your young lady wants to ask to see the county lord, just hand over the post, how can there be a reason to send a maid to be sneaky at the back door of King Yong's mansion? Don't fool me here, go and go, don't stay at this back door, stay here again, don't blame our brothers for being polite! ”

Several other guards also thought so, looking at this girl with unkind eyes, how could they send a maid to inquire at the back door of the house, the Linjiang Marquis Mansion would not do such a thing, sneaky, hide their heads and tails, and they don't know where they came to pretend, and most of them didn't come to do anything good.

The dark-skinned guard's words made the girl blush, she knew that she was wrong, and she couldn't say anything for a while, just grinding, and looked into the crack in the door, not wanting to leave.

"You girl, leave quickly, and if you don't leave, you won't blame us for being polite." The guard impatiently put his hand on the hilt of the knife, scaring her.

The girl had no choice but to turn back and walk down the street.

At this moment, the back door opened, and Ji Yue came out of the door with a basket, and while carrying the door, she smiled and joked with the guards: "What's the matter, I heard you shouting from afar." ”

"Miss Jiyue." The guard pointed to the back of the girl just now, "Well, the woman just now has been at the gate of the mansion for an afternoon, I called her over and asked her, she said that she was the maid of the Linjiang Hou Mansion, and what did she say that she was ordered by their young lady to inquire if the county lord of Zhaoyang was all right, and she was a liar at first glance, I ......."

Ji Yue looked at what he was pointing at, and felt more and more that the woman was a little familiar, and she didn't care to listen to him, so she hurriedly went down the steps and responded casually: "I'll go and see who that person is, thank you." “

The guard watched her chase the woman and touched the back of her head, could it be that she was really a maid from the Marquis of Linjiang's mansion?

Ji Yue took three steps and two steps, and soon caught up with the woman, who was really the maid peach blossom beside Miss Xu.

Peach Blossom also saw Ji Yue, and she couldn't care about the cold hands of herself, so she excitedly took Ji Yue's hand and said, "I wanted to try my luck, but I really waited for my sister!" ”

Ji Yue felt the coolness of her hand, looked down, and saw that the white and tender hands were a little clumsy, and exclaimed: "You have been freezing all afternoon here, and your hands are all red, why don't you hand over the post, or find someone to send a message, but what happened?" ”

"It's not a big deal." Peach Blossom retracted her hand in a sneer, not wanting to give the coolness to Ji Yue.

She wanted to speak and stopped, but Ji Yue didn't urge her, just quietly waited for her to speak.

Peach Blossom said: "I came behind our lady's back this time, since something happened to the county lord, the young lady didn't think about it, and said that she hurt the county lord, as if she was stunned." Until this morning, the young lady knew that the county lord had returned, but she barely had some food, and she was not very energetic. Madame persuaded the young lady to hand over the post to take a look at the county lord, but the young lady shook her head, unwilling to come, but her spirit was still not good. The young lady felt guilty, and always cried silently every night, and I really couldn't help it, so I came with the young lady on my back to see if I could meet my sister, so I could ask the county lord how the situation was, and go back to my young lady. ”

Ji Yue looked at her and finished speaking, with tears in her eyes, she couldn't bear it, and nodded and said: "I know, you go back and persuade your young lady, the county lord is not injured, everything is fine, but there is no danger." ”

Peach Blossom was overjoyed, responded continuously, and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, she swallowed it again, and said goodbye to Ji Yue.

Ji Yue originally went out to buy something, and she didn't keep the peach blossoms, so she broke up with her with a smile.

In fact, Ji Yue also understood in her heart that Peach Blossom asked the county lord if it was fake, and it was true that she wanted the county lord to visit Miss Xu.

However, she also understands that since Peach Blossom can wait for her here for a long time, it means that Miss Xu must be very guilty, and the situation is very bad.

Ji Yue sighed and went with the basket.

In the evening, after Tong Yan had a meal, Ji Yue took care of the matter.

Tong Yan was shocked when she heard this, she actually never thought of blaming Mingyi, even if she didn't have Mingyi, Xiri Ahong would definitely use other methods to lead her forward, speaking of which, Mingyi's younger brother had a fever, and he also came strangely, maybe it was Xiri Ahong's means to lure Mingyi away, if you want to count it like this, then isn't she the one who is the disaster?

She shook her head invisibly, it was obvious that it was only Xiri Ahong who was wrong.

Early on the second day, Tong Yan went to visit the Marquis of Linjiang.

Mrs. Linjiang Hou saw her as if she had seen a savior, gratefully held her hand, thanked her for coming incoherently, said that it was all caused by intention, and asked Tong Yan if she was injured, is everything okay?

Tong Yan looked at Mrs. Linjiang's eyes that were both cautious and eager to worry, and she couldn't bear it, so she could only answer patiently with a smile all the time, for fear that Mrs. Linjiang Hou would feel that she had something displeased.

"Madam, is the little boy good?" Tong Yan said with concern.

Mrs. Linjiang Hou was stunned for a moment, and nodded frequently, "Okay, okay, it's all right, it's really not a good time for this child to be sick, otherwise he wouldn't ......."

Seeing that she was about to start blaming herself again, Tong Yan hurriedly smiled again: "What did Madam say, I am not unharmed, by the way, what about Mingyi, why didn't I see her?" ”

At the mention of Mingyi, Mrs. Linjiang Hou sighed and said: "This girl refuses to come out in the house, I'm afraid that she feels very guilty about the county lord, and she doesn't think about tea and dinner for several days, and the maid says that sometimes she sheds tears at night, I, I can't help it." ”

After that, she looked at Tong Yan expectantly, it couldn't be more obvious.

Tong Yan knew her mind, and she knew that she was embarrassed to say it directly.

"I also hope that Mrs. will allow me to go and see Mingyi, and the bell must be tied to the bell, so that I can enlighten her." Tong Yan stood up with a frown, very worried.

Mrs. Linjianghou's hanging heart relaxed, her face was slightly red, and she was busy responding, standing up and inviting Tong Yan to go to Mingyi's courtyard.
