Chapter 3: Hold her back
Jing Jiaren returned to the hall, and several servants were looking for her, and when they saw her come out, they immediately surrounded her.
"Young grandma, what's the matter with you? My wife has called it several times, but the side hall has not been wiped clean! ”
"I didn't say you, this young master will be back soon, what are you still doing here, don't make it look like we're bullying you."
"And the young grandmother, don't put this broken book casually, coming and going is a guest and it will affect the dignity of our Huo family!"
As she spoke, the maid threw a sketchbook behind Jing Jiaren, which she usually used to write when communicating with people, densely packed with words, and Jing Jiaren instinctively wanted to catch it.
As soon as he turned his head and hit a solid chest, Jing Jiaren's eyes went dark.
Then, she heard a deep, mellow male voice above her head, which had been talking to her on the third floor.
Huo Tingxiao!
Jing Jiaren hurriedly took two steps back, and only then did he see the face of the man in front of him clearly, at this time his brows furrowed slightly, and his cold aura was impossible to ignore.
"What did you call her just now?"
The servants became nervous almost instantly, and the girls who were still arrogant were so frightened that they didn't dare to raise their heads, the fear on their faces was clearly visible, and when they heard the young master's question, they stumbled and replied, "Young ...... Young grandma. ”
Huo Tingxiao bowed his head in surprise, this should be the first time a man has shown such a look on his face, and the man who did not smile did not expect that this little woman turned out to be his wife.
The little woman also heard the maid's words, raised her head to meet Huo Tingxiao's gaze, and quickly turned to the side, and there was no trace of emotion on her pale face. Huo Tingxiao remembered that she was like this just now, and she didn't seem to be looking forward to coming back at all.
Huo Tingxiao was stunned for only a second, and continued to speak to the servant: "Since you are a young grandmother, what were you doing just now?" ”
Just now...... Of course, he was humiliating her just now, but the servants didn't dare to say this, they couldn't imagine that the young master would support this dumb man as soon as he came back, and the waist of the group was about to bend to one hundred and eighty degrees, and they shook their heads in fear.
"Young master, we don't dare anymore!"
Huo Tingxiao ignored it: "Go to the housekeeper to get your salary, you don't have to come over tomorrow." ”
After speaking, he walked through the crowd to the front hall, and there was an innate aura in his steps, and several servants stayed in place with pale faces, as if they had encountered a thunderbolt from the sky.
Jing Jiaren also looked at his back, a little surprised, what is he, angry with himself?
Just thinking about it, the man suddenly turned around, his cold side face turned against the light, and his voice was cold.
He looked at the beautiful woman and said, "Keep up." ”
Jing Jiaren was stunned for a moment, but when she saw that the other party's eyes were firm, she had to take steps forward.
The man walked in front, and when he was about to reach the front hall, he suddenly stopped, and a deep voice sounded: "You wait here first." ”
Jing Jiaren didn't know why, so she had to stay where she was.
She could actually walk away, but after careful consideration, she felt that sooner or later she would have to talk to that man, so it would be better to finish what she had to say as soon as he came back, and save trouble in the future.
was waiting, two or three people came over, led by Huo Tingxiao's mother, her mother-in-law, Lin Zhiqing, the wife of the Huo family. Since she entered the Huo family, this mother-in-law has never given Jing Jiaren a good face.
At this time, Lin Zhiqing was angrily throwing a tantrum at the servant: "This Tingxiao, I said it an hour ago, why haven't you seen anyone yet!" How do you all do things? I told you to guard the young master at the gate, why is there no news until now! ”
The servants lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak, and when they were about to say something, they looked up and saw Jing Jiaren standing on the main road leading to the front hall.
"Young grandma, why did you get here!"
Mrs. Huo saw that Jing Meiren was really standing in a conspicuous place with a pestle, and the flames of war shifted instantly.
"Who told you to come to the antechamber! Are you the guests of the Huo family that you can meet? No rules! It's not enough to clean up in the back! ”
To say that this Lin Zhiqing is also the daughter of the Kyoto family, she was raised with dignity and dignity, and her temperament and upbringing are famous. It's just that she just doesn't like Jing Jiaren, the daughter-in-law who entered her house because she had a relationship with the old man, her family background is not good, she is still a mute who can't speak, and her bad temper all her life can be regarded as sprinkled on Jing Jiaren.
Jing Jiaren hesitated, and she didn't have a sketchbook with her, and she didn't draw it out for a long time, and Lin Zhiqing was even more disgusted when she saw it.
"Forget it, it's annoying to see you like this, when today's banquet is over, you can pack up and go back to your parents' house!"
A glimmer of essence flashed in Jing Jiaren's lowered eyes, Lin Zhiqing knew very well what she meant, it was nothing more than Huo Tingxiao coming back, she didn't want to meet Huo Tingxiao by herself, and found an opportunity to send someone back. Or, I want to take advantage of her absence to find a young grandmother for Huo Tingxiao.
Jing Jia was about to raise his head, and a steady footstep sounded behind him, and the man's cold breath slowly approached.
"Mother."
