Chapter 29: Passers-by in the Ancient World 3

Jiang Sheng inside the house breathed a sigh of relief, and Ke Xiaoxia outside the house also breathed a sigh of relief.

After experiencing a lifetime, Ke Xiaoxia feels that she has come to terms with being liked by others.

But even though she had let it go, Ke Xiaoxia still found it hard to accept the fact that Jiang Sheng already had a fiancée and was going to get married soon.

I don't know if Jiang Sheng would get angry if she refused...

Ke Xiaoxia walked out while thinking about random things.

The guards did not stop her.

Not long after she left, she saw Prime Minister Jiang coming towards her.

Ke Xiaoxia kept her identity in mind, and when Prime Minister Jiang didn't see her, she immediately sneaked away to inform Jiang Sheng.

Jiang Sheng had returned to normal by now, but his eyes were still a little evasive when he saw Ke Xiaoxia.

He nodded seriously and said, "Okay, I understand. You go out first."

Not long after Ke Xiaoxia left, Prime Minister Jiang arrived.

There was no one else following him, and he walked towards him slowly.

When passing by Ke Xiaoxia, he paused slightly, and then went straight into the room.

Ke Xiaoxia breathed a sigh of relief again.

Prime Minister Jiang is the prime minister after all. He looks gentle and elegant on the outside, but in fact, every move he makes is filled with pressure and aura. Just passing by her made Ke Xiaoxia couldn't help but slow down her breathing.

Ke Xiaoxia felt that in this world, in this atmosphere of fear, she would not be able to survive for long.

Life is still better in the kitchen.

Prime Minister Jiang did not stay in the room for too long. After a moment, he came out of the room and casually ordered, "Keep an eye on him."

Then he left directly.

Ke Xiaoxia secretly glanced into the room. Jiang Sheng was sitting there quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.

For the next period of time, Jiang Sheng was very quiet and did not make a fuss about going out.

Not only did he not make a fuss about going out, he even avoided Ke Xiaoxia and did not ask Ke Xiaoxia to do any work.

This resulted in Ke Xiaoxia being very idle every day.

Ke Xiaoxia was actually quite happy.

Seeing that Jiang Sheng ignored her, Ke Xiaoxia couldn't help but run to the kitchen.

Everyone in the kitchen was surprised: "Xiao Xia, why are you here?"

"There's nothing going on with the young master, so I came to see you."

Everyone in the kitchen got along well with each other, and they were all very welcoming when Ke Xiaoxia came back.

His gossipy nature remains unchanged.

"Xiao Xia, the young master is so handsome. When you were helping him get dressed and wash, did you..."

"No!"

Ke Xiaoxia immediately interrupted this messy topic: "The young master didn't ask me to help him dress and wash, so don't ask these nonsense questions."

"That's right, you all know what kind of temper the young master has. Xiao Xia is the one he uses to deliberately anger the future young lady."

"Xiao Xia, let's not talk about the young master anymore. Have you ever had close contact with an adult in the young master's yard?"

When Uncle Wang heard Prime Minister Jiang, he immediately came over and stared at Ke Xiaoxia with burning eyes.

Obviously, Prime Minister Jiang has a lot of fans.

Ke Xiaoxia nodded: "There was one time when the Lord was so imposing that he walked past me and I felt like I couldn't even breathe."

These words greatly pleased Prime Minister Jiang's admirers in the kitchen.

They were so envious of Ke Xiaoxia.

"Xiao Xia, I really envy you. I also want adults to walk past me."

"If I could get close to you, my Lord, I would also like to serve you, Master."

Ke Xiaoxia was speechless.

Under their questioning, I could only rack my brains to praise Prime Minister Jiang.

Ke Xiaoxia could hardly bear the praise, and ran away quickly under their reluctant gazes.

Ke Xiaoxia decided that she would never go to the kitchen again in the short term.

I really can't stand those fanatical fans.

Clearly, they all met Prime Minister Jiang on the day Jiang Sheng was granted marriage.

Back at Shaoguangyuan, Ke Xiaoxia met Jiang Sheng's resentful gaze again.

Ke Xiaoxia stepped forward honestly: "Master."

Jiang Sheng was very unhappy: "What did you do?"

"Your servant..."

"Don't call me a slave in front of me. I don't like it."

It just so happened that Ke Xiaoxia didn't want to call herself a slave.

“I saw that the young master had nothing to do here, so I went to the kitchen to take a look.”

Jiang Sheng's eyes became even more resentful.

He couldn't help but snorted coldly: "No more in the future. You have to stay with me all day when I'm in the yard. You can't go out without my permission."

Ke Xiaoxia, who had already decided not to go to the kitchen for a short period of time, agreed very readily.

"Yes, Master, I won't do that again."

Jiang Sheng was satisfied.

He turned around and said, "Come with me."

Ke Xiaoxia followed Jiang Sheng.

There are many things in the room.

Jewelry, silks and satins.

Jiang Sheng raised his chin and said, "See if you like it."

"These...are for me?"

Ke Xiaoxia was very surprised.

Ke Xiaoxia didn't take what Jiang Sheng said before to heart. At most, she thought that he would ask someone to buy her a few sets of clothes and some jewelry.

Later, Jiang Sheng avoided her again, and Ke Xiaoxia forgot what Jiang Sheng had said before.

It wasn't a big deal.

But now it seems that Jiang Sheng obviously still remembers it.

Ke Xiaoxia was in mixed feelings.

Jiang Sheng said confidently, "Of course it's for you. I mean what I said. Hurry up and change those rags on you. They're an eyesore."

Ke Xiaoxia: “…” The feeling of being touched seemed to disappear in an instant.

*

Ke Xiaoxia changed into the clothes prepared by Jiang Sheng and put a few hairpins in her hair.

Jiang Sheng nodded with satisfaction when he saw the clothes, but when he saw Ke Xiaoxia's hair, his brows frowned again.

He raised his voice and said, "Call a maid over."

The one who came was Nanny Fang.

Nanny Fang combed Ke Xiaoxia's hair into two buns and put on suitable jewelry.

Jiang Sheng was satisfied, and threw a piece of silver to Nanny Fang and said, "Well done, you will be the one to comb her hair from now on, go down."

After receiving the silver, Nanny Fang left with a smile on her face.

Jiang Sheng circled around Ke Xiaoxia for a few times, feeling particularly satisfied: "This way I won't lose face. You can throw away all those junk you had before. Take them all to your room."

"And this one, I had someone prepare it especially for you. You must remember to apply it. Your hands are too rough, not even as rough as mine, a man's."

Ke Xiaoxia reminded him: "Master, I'm just a maid."

"What's wrong with being a maid? You are my young master's maid, how can you be an ordinary maid? No one except me has the right to order you around, you must remember this."

Ke Xiaoxia responded honestly: "I know."

I didn't ask in return, what if it was the Lord and the future young lady?

These words were useless except for making Jiang Sheng unhappy.

As Jiang Sheng's maid, she did not have to work every day like before, and no one dared to ask her to do anything.

Although the tide has risen, Ke Xiaoxia is not happy.

The thought of the future young lady coming into the house might make things very difficult.

I hope Jiang Sheng can give his future wife some respect and not deliberately create hatred for her.

With Ke Xiaoxia's sincere prayers, Young Madam Lin Jing finally came in.
