Chapter 390: Meet Again (2)
The owner of the arms was the Fourth Prince Xuanyuan Jing. He never expected that this delicate and frail looking Miss Yu could fall with such a violent force!
At this moment, his arm seemed to be broken, twitching with great pain. However, due to his face, he could not show it in front of the other party, so he had to grit his teeth and endure it.
He squeezed out a few words with difficulty, "Miss Yu, are you okay?"
He wanted to put her down immediately, but when he thought about pretending to forget and just holding her like this, it would be easier for her to be moved. So, he had to continue to hold on.
Yu Jiaojiao kept her eyes closed until she heard the voice that haunted her.
But she was afraid that it was just a dream, so she only dared to open her eyes slightly and look up cautiously.
The familiar yet unfamiliar face enlarged before her eyes, and her heart beat faster, with a shy blush on her face.
"Fourth, Fourth Prince, did you save me? I'm still alive, right?"
A series of low laughs came from above her head, and the laughter flowed into the girl's heart like a clear spring, nourishing her soul.
The heat on her cheeks seemed to increase even more. She lowered her head deeply, revealing her slender, white neck.
Xuanyuan Jing stared blankly at this piece of snow-white skin, unable to recover from his daze. This was the first time he saw a beauty from this angle. It was really - there was a unique charm.
Hearing someone cough lightly behind him, he suddenly came back to his senses and said softly:
"Miss Yu was caught by me in time, so she should be fine. I happen to have a carriage, so if you don't mind, you can take my carriage home."
"Thank...thank you, Fourth Prince." Yu Jiaojiao said softly, trying to make her voice less trembling.
It was the first time she had such close contact with a man, and she didn't know whether she should let him put her down or pretend not to notice.
Xuanyuan Jingze no longer had any romantic thoughts in his mind, because he could not hold on any longer!
His two arms had started to ache and now had become numb. If he didn't put the person into the carriage, he might not be able to control himself and let go the next moment!
Seeing that the person in his arms finally agreed, he almost ran and carried the person into the car as fast as possible.
In order to play the role of a modest gentleman, he did not stay for long, but stepped out very politely and sat on the shaft outside with the coachman.
Just as the carriage was about to move forward, a wronged female voice came from outside:
"Miss, you, you don't want a servant anymore?"
Yu Jiaojiao, who was originally immersed in happiness and sweetness, smiling to herself with a shy look on her face, suddenly her body stiffened for a moment.
She, she actually forgot about her maid and the coachman completely!
Of course, she didn't feel any apology or guilt, but was just a little embarrassed and ashamed. She couldn't admit that she had forgotten him, so she could only pretend to be weak and say:
"Wanqiu, are you okay? Come into the carriage quickly.
By the way, is the driver okay?"
Wanqiu felt a chill in her heart. If she hadn't spoken in time, her young lady might not even remember her as a servant when she arrived in the capital!
There is also the coachman Lao Zhang. This has been his fifth year as the young lady's coachman, and he has been a servant in the Yu family for even longer.
The lady is really cruel!
At this time, Lao Zhang was still lying in a pool of blood, not knowing whether he was dead or alive, but she didn't even lift the car window curtain to take a look!
Looking at her lusty expression, it is obvious that she has fallen in love with the man in front of her!
No, it should be that the young lady had developed feelings for him since the first time they met in Shuiyunjian. No wonder she has been so distracted these days, no wonder she is so anxious to return to Beijing!
She couldn't help but think maliciously, maybe the young lady had been secretly communicating with the Fourth Prince, otherwise how could they meet in such a remote place by chance? !
Her mind raced, and it seemed like a long time had passed, but in fact it was only a few breaths. Before she could reply, Xuanyuan Jing, who was sitting on the shaft of the carriage, said:
"Don't worry, Miss Yu. Your driver is injured and cannot be easily moved. I have sent someone to find a doctor, who will be back soon to treat the driver.
It's getting late, let's go back to the capital first."
Yu Jiaojiao naturally had no objection. Not only that, she even breathed a sigh of relief.
Without being disturbed by irrelevant people, she could also spend more time with the Fourth Prince who had saved her twice.
I glanced at the little maid sitting in the corner of the carriage. She seemed to be injured, with dark red blood stains on her clothes.
But she pretended not to notice and said nothing.
She's just a maid, not worth her attention and concern. The wound will scab over in a few days!
Wanqiu was a sensitive person. She felt it when the young lady glanced at her. At this moment, her entire left arm was in excruciating pain and she couldn't even move her fingers.
She was not as lucky as the young lady. She was thrown out of the carriage and fell hard to the ground.
The sharp stones hurt her, and she had countless wounds all over her body. But the young lady had no sympathy for her at all.
Isn't the life of a maid a life? !
After all, she had been serving the young lady for five or six years. Even a stone would have been warmed up after so many years, but she couldn't even warm her young lady's heart!
The little girl complained angrily in her heart and even developed hatred. Her original loyalty to her master had faded much compared to before.
The carriage swayed all the way and finally arrived at the Yu Mansion. The person sitting inside was shy all the way, and when getting off the car, he couldn't help but reach out and pat his hot cheeks.
With a sweet smile on her face, she gracefully poked her head out of the carriage, and then...she saw Old Man Yu standing there with a sullen face.
Her face froze for a moment, but quickly returned to normal. She was helped out of the car by her maid and bowed respectfully to her mother and grandfather.
Mr. Yu had only one son and one daughter in his life.
His old wife has been bedridden for many years, his eldest son is working away from home, and he is confused about his daughter-in-law, so he has to take care of this whole family with all his heart and soul.
However, things are unpredictable. Even though he had already warned his granddaughter and daughter-in-law, they were still inextricably linked with the Fourth Prince.
What’s even more frustrating is that it’s another life-saving favor! The Yu Mansion can’t produce another hundred-year-old ginseng!
What's more, even if there are more valuable things, we can no longer just brush it off like we did the first time.
Not to mention that doing so would offend the Fourth Prince, even if outsiders heard it, they would probably say that the Yu family was ungrateful.
The fourth prince saved his granddaughter twice in a row. What he was trying to achieve was obvious to Sima Zhao.
When he saw his little granddaughter looking like a young girl in love, he felt even more annoyed!
He sighed softly and said to the Fourth Prince:
"Please come into the mansion, Your Highness, so we can have a good chat."
Xuanyuan Jing followed in readily, and his every move revealed a calm and indifferent attitude.
Old Master Yu glanced at his little granddaughter who was still standing there in a daze, and said with some regret:
"Jiaojiao, why are you still standing there? Your clothes are wrinkled, how can people see them?
And your personal maid is covered in blood. Find a doctor to check her out. We are not the kind of family that treats servants as if they were human beings. "
