Her guards

Chapter 136 The Miss is Extraordinary

interesting.

"What does Prince Zhu want to say to me?" Yang Luo asked, looking surprised. He raised an eyebrow. "Does he want me to apologize to you?"

The maid's expression no longer showed gratitude; it had returned to the way it had when she was badmouthing Jiang Rui at the restaurant.

Knowing that his previous gratitude was feigned, Zhu Yunxiao smiled again.

“Miss Asheng and Jiang Rui had some disagreements before, but I think it was all a misunderstanding,” he said. “After learning about what happened between you and Miss Liu, Jiang Rui and I both admire your knowledge. Arui is not very talkative, but she is kind-hearted. I hope that you can study together at the National Academy in the future.”

At this point, he raised his hand and bowed.

“Jiang Rui’s father passed away early, and she stayed at home to help her widowed mother and take care of her younger sister. I hope she can have more playmates.”

Yang Luo looked at the noble young man bowing before her, and it seemed as if he had merged with the young man who had prayed for his wife in front of the Buddha in the temple in that life.

She couldn't help but laugh out loud.

“Young Master Zhu is so kind to Miss Jiang,” she said.

She emphasized the word "good".

Zhu Yunxiao stood up and looked at her: "Uncle Jiang has been very kind to my family."

Uncle Jiang has been very kind to his family? So you're saying that his feelings for Jiang Rui are repaying a debt of gratitude, not love? Yang Luo scoffed inwardly.

Well, that's partly true.

Zhu Yunxiao indeed had no feelings for Jiang Rui.

He was probably saying these words to "Miss Yang," but he had to go through her, his maid, to convey them. He was really being cautious.

But did he set his sights on "Miss Yang" so early?

why?
Because "Miss Yang" became the princess's study companion, ranked first in the exam, and became the disciple of the chief priest?
Is it because Yang Luo is good-looking?
Because he knew Yang Luo's true identity?

How did he know? Who told him?
Yang Luo was preoccupied and had no interest in listening to Zhu Yunxiao anymore.

"Your Highness, rest assured, my young lady is kind and enjoys making friends." She said with a smile, "The matter last time was a verbal conflict between me and Miss Jiang, and it had nothing to do with my young lady. Moreover, I resolved the conflict with Miss Jiang at the National Academy, so Your Highness need not worry."

After saying this, he knelt down in a gesture of respect.

"This servant will take her leave now."

Without waiting for Zhu Yunxiao to speak again, he turned and strode away.

……

.......
Her daughter is a kind person...

Doesn't she find it funny to say that?
Zhu Yunxiao watched the maid's retreating figure and couldn't help but laugh again.

He personally witnessed how this Miss Yang provoked Chai Wan'er to the point of rage with just a few words.

From the very first word he uttered, there was not a trace of kindness in him.

Moreover, I also witnessed firsthand the extraordinary aura of this Miss Yang.

Facing Miss Chai, the third daughter of the Marquis of Yichun, she showed no fear whatsoever, and even directly provoked the Empress with her words…

There must be something even stronger behind them if they dare to do this.

Who could be the one with an even greater reliance than the Empress?

and……

This Miss Yang is able to attract the daughters of the Marquis of Yichun and the daughters of Consort Li...

These two young ladies wouldn't have come without the instructions of their elders.

To be noticed by both sets of elders, one must be no ordinary person.

Zhu Yunxiao clenched his hands, which were hanging by his sides.

This trip was worthwhile.

Not only did he get to verify his guesses with his own eyes, but he also got to know Miss Yang by stopping Chai Wan'er.

There will be opportunities to interact in the future.

He was actually going to say those words to this Miss Yang.

Miss Yang is the maid's mistress, and he is Jiang Rui's fiancé. It would be perfect for them to resolve their previous grievances.

But when he thought of Miss Yang asking her maid to settle the bill and pay for today's tea banquet, he couldn't help but stand outside and wait.

When he saw the maid coming over, he couldn't help but call out to her and say all those things.

Zhu Yunxiao frowned slightly. Why did he want to talk to this maid?

strangeness……

Fine, I've already said it.

After all, it was this maid who directly clashed with Jiang Rui.

He personally intervened to mediate, and when the maid relayed his words to Miss Yang, Miss Yang would find him to be more humble and polite.

This Miss Yang is no ordinary person, and her maid is naturally no ordinary person either.

He had just witnessed it; after the young lady finished her mockery, the maid followed suit, calling him rude, arrogant, and rebellious. She had been just as unrestrained when she cursed Jiang Rui at the time.

She scolded him for being pretentious and hypocritical.

Zhu Yunxiao smiled.

That's absolutely right. How did she know he was that kind of person?
……

.......
"Thank you for your hospitality, Miss Qin."

"No, we should say, thank you for your hospitality, Miss Yang."

As the banquet ended, although Miss Yang ended up paying for the meal, Qin Ying still brought her friends to see the guests off.

"You must come to my house to enjoy the lanterns during the Spring Festival," Qin Ying said with a smile. "My family's villa hosts a lantern festival every year, which is quite famous in the capital."

Mo Zheng smiled and said okay.

“I don’t like going out,” Li Rong said softly from the side, holding a copy of Miss Yang’s answer sheet in one hand and taking Miss Yang’s hand in the other, and urging her, “If you write another good article, you must have someone send it to me to read.”

Mo Zheng smiled and said okay.

The Li family's carriages slowly approached, and Li Rong, without lingering any longer, bid them farewell and boarded the carriage.

Qin Ying thought of something and quickly said, "Miss Yang, please take my carriage back."

Yang Hui ran away first, and the carriage from the Duke of Ding'an's mansion also left.

"No need, no need," Yang Luo said with a smile. "I came in Miss Liu Chan's car, and I didn't let the car leave because I was planning to go find her after we parted ways."

He waved to the side, and an old coachman drove a simple horse-drawn carriage over.

"I'm sorry to have troubled Miss Yang," Qin Ying said.

Mo Zheng smiled, about to say something, when suddenly a commotion broke out on the street, accompanied by exclamations from people, horses, and carriages, and the originally crowded street was instantly cleared to make way.

A procession of women in embroidered robes escorted a carriage as it slowly approached.

The carriages and horses were magnificent.

Everyone in the capital recognized it; it was Wei Jiao's car.

Qin Ying hurriedly pulled Yang Luo, gesturing for her to retreat into the restaurant, but the carriage slowly stopped in front of the door.

The closed carriage curtain was pulled back, and Wei Jiao looked over with a smile in her eyes.

"Isn't this my junior sister?" he called out.

The young ladies standing in front of Dengyun Tower were first stunned by the young man's bright smile, and then stunned by the way he called her "Junior Sister".

In a daze, Mo Zheng had already stepped forward, smiled brightly at Wei Jiaoyi in front of the car, and curtsied: "Senior Brother Wei."

Wei Jiao raised an eyebrow and glanced at her, then looked at the carriages and horses beside her.

"Where did the Duke of Ding'an's mansion find such a dilapidated carriage for you to use?" he said. "Is this intentional mistreatment?"

"Senior brother, you're overthinking it. You didn't mistreat me," Mo Zheng said with a smile. "I'm going to Miss Liu Chan's house. This is her car to pick me up."

“How could this be worthy of my junior sister?” Wei Jiao said with a smile, gesturing for her to come. “Come, get in my car, I’ll take my junior sister there.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the girl beside the car smiled and curtsied, saying, "Thank you, senior brother."

After saying that, he walked towards the car.

Wei Jiao scoffed inwardly and waved to Xiu Yi beside him.

A man in embroidered robes dismounted and knelt on one knee in front of the carriage.

Without the slightest hesitation, the girl lifted her skirt and stepped onto the carriage by the back of the embroidered dress.

It's so practiced, like it's something you do all the time.

"Ah Sheng, follow behind the captain's carriage," the young lady instructed her maid as she got into the carriage.

The maid standing to the side remained calm and responded loudly, "Yes."

"Miss Qin." The young lady looked over with a smile again. "I'll be going now."

Stunned, Qin Ying nodded blankly. The usually quick-witted girl couldn't utter a single reply as she watched Miss Yang enter the carriage, the curtain fall, obscuring Wei Jiao's bright smile, and the embroidered-clad women's horses galloping forward.

The maid also got into the carriage, and the old coachman led the simple carriage, quietly and obediently following behind the embroidered woman.

"Ah Ying, did you see that?"

The sisters next to her then reached out and patted Qin Ying's arm, murmuring repeatedly.

"Aside from Princess Heisei, this is the first time I've seen Wei Jiao smile at someone like this."

She saw it! Of course she saw it! She really had an eye-opening day!

Qin Ying watched the departing carriages and horses, then raised her hand and gently touched her eyes with tenderness.

There's nothing wrong with her eyes.

Her intuition was right.

Although I mistook the maid for someone else, this young lady is definitely no ordinary person.
