Although Qiao Ci and Qingwen went back to the house first, they were concerned about their masters, so they waited at the door, and when they saw that the third prince had brought their master back, they hurriedly greeted him.

Su Jinzhao got off the horse, and Su Jinzhao took off the cloak on his body and returned it to Yu Wenyu.

"Thank you!" After thanking him lightly, he went back to the house with the maid.

Looking at the girl's disappearing back, Qingfeng on the side reminded in a low voice: "Master, it's getting late, it's time to go back."

Yu Wenyu said "um" casually, then took it back, turned around and rode away.

Back in Mu Jin's Courtyard, looking at the begonias that he begged from Yun Li in the house, Su Jinzhao thought about it and asked, "My mother can send someone over to ask about my late return?"

Qiao Ci replied: "Today's lady rested early, and she didn't send anyone to ask questions."

Just as Su Jinzhao breathed a sigh of relief, Qiao Ci said again: "But the second lady came once and asked about the eldest lady. ”

Su Jinzhao sat down and picked up the tea poured by Qingwen, took two sips, and asked casually, "How did you reply to her?"

Qiao Ci replied: "The slave maid said that the princess left the eldest lady to talk in the palace, and she would not be able to come back until later, and the second lady saw that the eldest lady had not returned for a long time and did not stay for long, so she went back."

Su Jinzhao listened and nodded with satisfaction: "I didn't expect that the maid next to me has also become smart, it sounds like a good explanation."

After going out for a day, Su Jinzhao was also a little tired, so he went to rest.

It's just that I couldn't sleep for a long time at night, and I remembered a lot of things from the past, and I didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night.

The next day, Su Jinzhao was freshening up and changing clothes in the house, and Su Jinling came over early in the morning.

"Eldest sister usually gets up early, why is she getting up late today?" Su Jinling entered the house and said, "But it's common to talk to Yunli, and it's too late to come back?" ”

Su Jinzhao was sitting on the dressing table at the moment, Qiaoci was grooming her, she glanced at Su Jinling behind her through the mirror, and said, "I don't know why my sister came here early this morning?"

If she has nothing to do, she doesn't believe that Su Jinling just came to see her.

Su Jinling immediately sat down and said, "Yesterday, I said that I would wait for the eldest sister to go back to the house together, but because the maid Xia Fu said that she was unwell, she didn't take care of the eldest sister, and I hope that the eldest sister will not be weird."

While speaking, Qiao Ci had already combed Su Jinzhao's hair bun, she turned around and glanced at Xia Fu who was waiting on the side, how could a person who was clearly good and well-behaved suddenly feel unwell, this excuse was too perfunctory.

She pulled the corners of her mouth and quietly floated a meaningful smile: "In this way, it seems that the maid who is serving next to the second sister is so weak, how can such a person serve you, why don't I go and tell my mother and ask her to arrange another maid for you again."

Hearing this, Xia Fu bit her lip, where was she weak because of her weak body, it was obvious that the second lady was too lazy to wait for the eldest lady, and she went back to the house first, and she was afraid that the eldest lady would find her to investigate the matter afterwards, so she put the fault on herself and lied that she was unwell.

The second lady fell into the reputation of being considerate of the subordinates, but she caused the second miss to not be able to "wait" for the eldest lady to be together, thinking of this, Xia Fu was really dumb and ate coptis, and she had nowhere to complain about the bitterness in her heart, so she had to bear the fault herself.

Xia Fu's legs were weak, she knelt down, her voice was slightly sad, and she said in a low voice: "The second lady was going to wait for the eldest lady to be with her, but the slave and maid were not good, and the second lady took care of the feelings of the master and servant, so she took the slave and maid back, and did not wait for the eldest lady to be together." If the eldest lady is to blame, please punish the slave and maid, everything is the slave's fault. ”

The smile on Su Jinzhao's face was still there, and she said in a tepid tone: "Second sister, look at what you said this maid, as if I was so careful about what I said." It's not just that I'm unwell, how can I understand, the second sister is so considerate of the subordinates, it's really rare, the last rouge incident, I thought that the second sister you have always been harsh and harsh on the subordinates, I can't imagine that there are exceptions. ”

The exception to this is, of course, Charve.

Su Jinzhao deliberately mentioned Rouge in front of Su Jinling, and sure enough, when it came to the name Rouge, Su Jinling's face was slightly gloomy, and he instantly became not very good-looking.

Su Jinling pulled the corners of her mouth and said: "The eldest sister said that she laughed, Xia Fu has served me for many years, if I change to someone else, I am afraid that I will not be used to it for a while, the eldest sister is kind, and I understand it as a younger sister, so I will not bother my mother to arrange other maids to come over."

Su Jinzhao smiled lightly: "That's what I said, look at the second sister, you are nervous, if you don't want to, I won't go to my mother." As he spoke, he looked at Xia Fu who was kneeling on the ground, "You also got up, if you let the rest of the house see it, you will think that you have been bullied by me." Don't let people think of me as a master who punishes his subordinates at every turn. ”

As soon as these words came out, the corners of Su Jinling's mouth stiffened, and the implication of these words was to talk about her.

The matter of rouge, it seems that Su Jinzhao is still haunted.

So what, everyone is dead, an inferior girl, a cheap life, do you want her to pay for her life? Besides, a betrayed maid will die if she dies, so what reason does Su Jinzhao have to be angry for her.

Su Jinling glanced at Xia Fu, and Xia Fu got up and stepped aside. Then, Su Jinling showed a grateful look again, and said to Su Jinzhao: "I just said that the eldest sister is not a stingy person, on the way over, I was still thinking about how to explain last night's incident to the eldest sister, but I didn't expect the eldest sister to be so reasonable, so I am relieved."

Su Jinzhao smiled and didn't make a sound.

Su Jinling didn't mean to leave, her eyes fell on Qiao Ci's face, her eyes flashed with surprise, so she asked: "At the flower banquet yesterday, Qiao Ci's face was swollen, I didn't expect it to be so fast in just one night, could it be the doctor mentioned by the eldest sister?"

Su Jinzhao knew it in his heart, I am afraid that last night's incident was one of them, and the real purpose was far less than these.

Su Jinzhao asked rhetorically: "Then according to your opinion, second sister, what about it?"

Being asked like this, Su Jinling didn't know how to pick it up, thought about it, and said: "Look at what the eldest sister asked, Qiaoci is your maid after all, the reason for this, only you know, eldest sister, how can I know."

After that, a pair of eyes looked at Su Jinzhao, as if waiting for her to answer.

Su Jinzhao shrugged his shoulders lazily, and then unhurriedly came to Su Jinling's side, and said slowly: "Second sister, sometimes people's curiosity is better not to be too serious."

"Second sister, if there is nothing else, please go back, I still have to go over to say goodbye to my mother, so I can't talk to you here."

Su Jinzhao's words meant to drive her away.

Although Su Jinling is a concubine, she is not a dead-faced person, people have talked about this, and it is not interesting to stay any longer, so she got up and said: "Since this is the case, I will not disturb the eldest sister to visit my mother, then I will leave."

After speaking, he brushed his sleeves away without looking back.
