After coming out of Daiyu's house, Jia Lian was ready to kiss Xiangling. When he returned to the house and saw no one, he walked to her room.
Clinker happened to meet Jiao Xing and came to talk to Mr. Feng.
"Greetings to the Marquis."
"My wife is here too."
After saying hello, Jia Lian glanced at Jiao Xing briefly, and then said to Feng, "I'm coming to find Xiang Ling."
"Oh." Xiang Ling quickly walked to Jia Lian's side, looking obedient.
In this way, Feng was used to it. Through this period of observation, she did find out how favored Xiang Ling was around Jia Lian. What was even more rare was that Lin Xiangjun, who had a concubine engagement with Jia Lian, was not jealous or bullying Xiang Ling at all, but instead She seems to have a good relationship with Xiangling.
It can be seen that either Mr. Hou is very capable, or Mr. Lin Xiang is a good person. No matter which point, it is a good thing for Xiangling, and she can feel at ease.
On the contrary, it was Jiao Xing who couldn't help but reveal a strange color on her face when she saw Jia Lian bluntly coming to find Xiang Ling.
As the master, Jia Lian came here specifically to find Xiang Ling. The probability of having something serious was extremely low. It was probably just like what she saw that day...
Jia Lian was about to leave with Xiang Ling when he suddenly heard Jiao Xing say: "The Marquis is staying here. I have a few words that I want to say to the Marquis alone."
Jia Lian looked back at her undisturbed face, nodded noncommittally, and then sat on the chair next to her.
Jiao Xing looked at Fengshi again: "Madam..."
Madam, was what Jiao Xing once called Feng. Now when they meet, they always address each other as "Madam".
Feng Shi naturally understood what Jiao Xing meant, nodded respectfully to her, and then took Xiang Ling's hand and went out.
"If you have anything to say, Madam-in-law, just say it directly."
When there were only two people left in the room, Jiao Xing's face suddenly became a little shy. She took two steps forward, seeming a little embarrassed.
"I hope the Marquis will forgive me. I didn't mean to peek into the Marquis' private life that day..."
Before Jiao Xing could finish her sentence, her cheeks turned completely red.
Jia Lian looked at her in surprise.
Of course he understood what Jiao Xing meant, because that day when Ah Qin came in to help him bully Xiang Ling, she told him about Jiao Xing spying on them.
Jia Lian didn't pay much attention to this matter at first. Curiosity, everyone has it.
However, as long as he didn't pursue such matters, shouldn't Jiao Xing just pretend that nothing had happened? Why did she say it in front of him today?
Apart from embarrassing each other, does this have any other effect?
Finally, Jia Lian has met many young women with different styles in these days, and he has a rough understanding of these women's thoughts, so he glanced at Jiao Xing and suddenly smiled.
"Oh, originally when I heard the maid talk about Mrs. Sister-in-law peeking outside the concierge, I didn't believe it. After all, Mrs. Sister-in-law has such a dignified and steady nature, how could she do such a shameful thing."
When Jiao Xing heard this, she felt very angry.
Just as she guessed, the woman reported her matter to Jia Lian!
Moreover, Jia Lian's expression and words made her feel ashamed, so she quickly explained: "No, I just passed by the Marquis' room that day and heard a noise inside, so I took a look out of curiosity. It was not intentional. Offending Lord Marquis..."
Jia Lian looked at Jiao Xing quietly, and suddenly waved to her. When she approached timidly, he said with a smile: "Whether Mrs. Sister-in-law did it intentionally or unintentionally, since Mrs. Sister-in-law has admitted it, she must show some sincerity." Come.
I wonder how my sister-in-law plans to make up for this prince? "
A beautiful woman takes the initiative to give the handle to a man, then she must want to play a dangerous game.
This can be easily seen with Jia Lian's deep city government.
Sure enough, Jiao Xing seemed to be a little afraid. She hesitated and said: "I have done something wrong, and I am willing to let the Marquis take care of him. I just ask the Marquis not to tell my master. He is deeply favored by your house and is seeking repayment." , if he knew that I had done such a shameful thing, he would definitely divorce me, please have mercy on me."
Jiao Xing said with tears in her eyes, as if she really came to seek Jia Lian's forgiveness just because she was worried that Jia Yucun would know about it.
Jia Lian was speechless. Are all these women so good at acting?
Is she afraid that Jia Yucun would dare to be in the same room with a dangerous man like him if she knew that she was watching others doing shameful things?
The atmosphere was heightened to this point, and if he didn't take on the role of the villain, he would look sorry for their actions.
So he patted his thigh and said in a deep voice to her: "Come here."
"Master Hou..."
Jia Lian didn't know what politeness was, so he directly put his arms around Jiao Xing's waist, made her sit on his lap, raised her chin and said with a smile: "If you want me not to tell Brother Yucun about this, what should I do?" Do it, Madam-in-law, do you understand?"
Jiao Xing was stunned for a moment, then struggled, "No! This alone won't work. The slave family is a married woman, and the Marquis cannot do this..."
"Hahaha, what if this is what I want!"
"Master Hou..."
The cabin where Xiang Ling and Feng lived was naturally smaller than Jia Lian's main house.
Therefore, Jia Lian and Jiao Xing's voices were low at first, and Xiang Ling and Feng who were guarding outside the room didn't notice it yet. But when Jia Lian's undisguised laughter and Jiao Xing's sweet call came out, both Feng and Feng were not aware of it. Both Shi and Xiangling noticed it.
The mother and daughter looked at each other, and Mrs. Feng quickly grabbed Xiang Ling and comforted her: "Girl, pretend you didn't hear or see anything. This kind of thing is very common among families of their status. Don’t be jealous, you know it’s not good for you.”
Xiang Ling nodded obediently under Feng's palm. She knew that her mother was thinking about her, but she still wanted to say that her mother was too worried. In this regard, she felt that she was more knowledgeable than her mother.
It's impossible for her to be jealous.
She knew many of Second Master's secrets, even many secrets that even Qingwen didn't know about, such as Aunt Zhen, Rong's daughter-in-law, etc. Second Master didn't hide it from her!
The second master said that he was his caring little cotton-padded jacket, and he was not afraid of her knowing anything. Because this little cotton-padded jacket of mine is the tightest and will not leak at all.
However, neither Feng nor Xiangling knew that the situation in the house was actually not as beautiful as they imagined.
Jiao Xing is considered outstanding among ordinary beauties. Otherwise, she would not have been selected by Jia Yucun as her successor.
But to Jia Lian, who had seen many stunning beauties, Jiao Xing didn't seem that outstanding.
After all, according to Jia Lian's standards for beauty, nine points or more would be considered a rare beauty. Jiao Xing, who is so gentle and docile, has a slender figure, and has the temperament of a seven-point official and a wife, can only be rated as an eight-point.
She can barely be regarded as the top-notch maid in the Jia family, and the first-rate Xiren mandarin duck. It is worth mentioning that although Ping Xiyuan is one of the three top beauties in Rong Guofu, Ping'er's beauty is the most outstanding. In Jia Lian's heart, Ping'er is exactly nine points of beauty.
Although Jiao Xing couldn't compare to Ping'er in terms of appearance and figure, she couldn't even compare to the four oiran ladies on the flower boat behind her.
However, at this moment, she was sitting in Jia Lian's arms so shyly, which was very useful to Jia Lian.
After all, she couldn't compare to those people. It didn't mean that Jiao Xing wasn't outstanding, it was just that those beauties were too rare. Moreover, this Jiao Xing is the first maid to appear in the original work and is married to Jia Yucun. If Jia Lian's guess is correct, she must be the same character as Xiang Ling in the Twelve Hairpins.
In this way, Jia Lian was not stingy about taking advantage.
Unfortunately, just when Jia Lian was following Jiao Xing's routine and teasing her, he suddenly heard a clear and suspicious voice coming from behind: "Uncle, are you bullying my mother?"
Jia Lian and Jiao Xing were shocked at the same time. Jia Lian turned around and saw that it was the little girl Jia Yuchai, who was only half a person tall, wearing a pink skirt and rubbing her sleepy eyes, standing beside them.
Jia Lian looked at her and judged from the direction in which she appeared that the little girl must have been sleeping in the inner room.
So he looked at Jiao Xing speechlessly, "You did this on purpose, right? Your daughter is sleeping inside, how dare you seduce me?"
Naturally, Jiao Xing broke away from Jia Lian's arms the moment she heard her daughter's voice. At this moment, facing the eyes of my daughter and Jia Lian, I really wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
She had really forgotten about this incident. She had not foreseen that Jia Lian would come over, and it was also a temporary idea for her to keep Jia Lian and talk about those specious things.
Who knew that Jia Lian would actually do something to her. Who knew, my daughter would wake up at this time. Moreover, he walked to them quietly.
Seeing that the two adults were silent, Jia Yuchai frowned even more, walked to Jia Lian, put her hand on Jia Lian's leg, and said seriously: "Uncle, you can't bully my mother."
When the little girl met Jia Lian for the first time, she was given a personal jade pendant as a gift, and she had a good impression of Jia Lian.
Then she was taken shopping by Jia Lian and Daiyu, which made her very close to both Jia Lian and Daiyu.
Facing Jia Yuchai's innocent face and serious words, Jia Lian felt guilty, "Don't worry, Xiao Yuchai, uncle didn't bully your mother. We were just playing games..." "Playing games? Is that so? But, it's not just Can my father hug my mother?"
"Ahem..."
Even though Jia Lian was as shrewd as a ghost, he didn't know how to explain it to a little kid.
Fortunately, Jiao Xing showed her old mother's majesty at the right time and said, "Okay, Chai'er, Mom and your Uncle Marquis have serious business to discuss. You go out to play with your sister Xiangling first. Mom will come out to find you in a moment."
"Oh fine."
After all, Jia Yuchai was too young to understand the truth. After being scolded by her mother, she immediately nodded and went out the door obediently.
When there were only two people left in the room again, Jia Lian calmed down and even smiled at Jiao Xing, who was pretending to be a majestic old mother.
When he smiled, Jiao Xing couldn't hold back any longer, and said with a blushing face, "Forgive me, Lord Marquis, but children are ignorant..."
"It doesn't matter if children are ignorant. The key is that we adults should understand. Madam-in-law should think carefully about how to bribe the little girl. Otherwise, if she is allowed to yell in front of Brother Yucun, no matter how generous Brother Yucun is, Madam-in-law's life will be miserable. It may not be better.”
After saying that, Jia Lian smiled, stood up and went out the door.
Seeing this, Jiao Xing wanted to persuade her to stay, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only feel upset secretly.
Ever since she got a glimpse of Jia Lian and Xiang Ling's good deeds, she could hardly sleep at night, always dreaming about things she shouldn't dream about.
Whenever this happened, she secretly regretted and blamed herself. Because she was very grateful to Jia Yucun. If Jia Yucun hadn't valued her and praised him, she would have been nothing more than a maid in a peasant woman's family.
Where does the majesty of Mrs. Gaoming come from?
Therefore, she tried her best not to run to the Lin family's boat.
On the one hand, her daughter Yuchai always clamored to come over to play with Xiangling and Daiyu. On the other hand, Jia Yucun also asked her to have a good relationship with Jia Lian's inner house.
She came anyway.
But as long as she got on the boat here, she couldn't help but think back to the scene she saw that day. When she thought of Jia Lian's strong body, her heart became very confused.
So when Jia Lian came to look for Xiang Ling, she guessed that Jia Lian must want to attract Xiang Ling to relieve the fire. After all, Jia Lian is so young and his energy is definitely incomparable to that of middle-aged Jia Yucun.
So she accidentally stopped Jia Lian and took the initiative to confess her mistake...
She definitely never thought about betraying Jia Yucun!
She thought that if Jia Lian didn't care about that matter, that would be fine, and her demonic obstacles would be reduced a lot.
If Jia Lian used this to threaten her or force her, then there was nothing she could do. After all, if Jia Lian told Jia Yucun about her peeping, her reputation would be ruined.
Moreover, if Jia Lian forced her, she would not be able to resist...
So she prepared for the worst. If Jia Lian did anything to her, she would take the opportunity to plan a future for her master in front of Jia Lian, so as to fulfill his long-cherished wish to climb up, which could be regarded as making up for him.
Who would have known that even though things were going as she imagined, Jia Lian was indeed a person who knew how to be romantic, and everything was going to fall into place, but he was completely ruined by his daughter who failed to live up to expectations.
Thinking of this, Jiao Xing naturally felt uncomfortable all over, and even had the idea of going back and beating her daughter to vent her anger.
Stop this thought after all.
Jia Lian was right to remind him that at this time, finding a way to bribe his daughter who seems to understand but not understands is the first priority. Therefore, not only can't you hit her, but you also have to coax her.
Jiao Xing, who had been doing ideological construction alone in the room for a long time, finally walked out, but only saw Feng.
She looked slightly uncomfortable, but still asked: "Madam, where are the girls Xiangling and Yuchai?"
"Yuchai was taken away by the Marquis, and Xiangling followed."
"Take him away?" Jiao Xing's voice became louder unconsciously.
"Yeah. It can be seen that the Marquis likes children very much. Originally, Yuchai took Xiangling to go find Miss Lin to play. The Marquis said that Miss Lin was tired and sleeping, and then said that there was something fun in his house, so he asked If Yu Chai wants to play, the Marquis will take Yu Chai away."
After hearing this, Jiao Xing felt relieved.
She guessed that Jia Lian must have started to bribe the little girl. After all, it would be bad for both of them if today's events were leaked.
As for Jia Lian holding her daughter, although it was slightly inappropriate, since her daughter had already reached the age of seven, Jiao Xing didn't think too much about it. Because both she and Jia Yucun trust Jia Lian's character.
Otherwise, they would not have allowed their daughter to follow Jia Lian and Daiyu out shopping and visiting scenic spots.
Just say that in the situation just now, anyone with a slightly worse character would have put her on the bed long ago. How could Jia Lian, who just teased her briefly, throw her away directly after being discovered by her daughter? Go down.
Judging from the current relationship between the two families, as long as Jia Lian can be a little partial to his daughter, it will be of great benefit to her daughter's marriage and future in the future.
