She picked up the fox fur cloak and chased to the door, "Gu Yun is worried that you will get cold. Third Miss, if you put this cloak back on, the concierge may not ask any questions."
White fox fur was rare, so Yu Jiao refused and said, "Madam has already asked someone to prepare a carriage to take us. It's not cold, so there's no need for this fox fur cape. Madam, keep it for yourself."
The wife of Annan Marquis simply took action and put the fox fur coat on Yu Jiao without saying anything. "This is also a token of Gu Yun's kindness. Miss San, please don't be polite."
As the Annan Marquis's wife tied her collar, she smiled and said, "He got this white fox fur from hunting last year. I don't like white, so after the fur was tanned, it was kept in the storeroom. Not long ago, Gu Yun suddenly found it and asked someone to make a cloak out of it. You see, this style is exactly what young girls like to wear nowadays, so he made it to send to you."
Yu Jiao was stunned for a moment and a little distracted.
Lady Annan helped her tidy up her cloak and saw Yu Jiao standing there in a daze, her face half covered by the fur edge of the cloak. Under the white and fluffy fox fur, her little face was like a snowball, smart and cute. The baby fat on her cheeks that had not yet faded made people want to pinch it.
Lady Annan couldn't help but feel itchy and pinched it gently.
Sure enough, it was soft and tender, just like green dumplings.
Yu Jiao was brought back to her senses by her pinch. Madam Annan forced herself to hold back her expression and said with an especially loving smile, "Go back quickly."
Yu Jiao nodded, said goodbye to Lady Annan again, and followed the servant towards the screen wall with Bai Lu.
The carriage of the Annan Marquis's mansion had already stopped at the screen wall. Bai Lu helped Yu Jiao get on the carriage. The charcoal basin in the carriage was burning very brightly. As the carriage just left the mansion gate, it suddenly stopped.
There were voices outside, and soon the servant driving the carriage said, "Miss San, there is a carriage parked outside. They said it's from your house."
Yu Jiao lifted the carriage curtain and looked outside, recognizing the boy who had lent them the cloak to guard the back door.
Wei San stepped forward and said, "Miss San, the old lady asked me to take you back to the palace."
Grandmother actually knew that she had sneaked out and came to Annan Marquis's mansion? Yu Jiao was not panicked. She and Bai Lu got off the Gu family's carriage and got on Wei San's carriage.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the snow on the bluestone road was already three or four fingers thick. To prevent the horse's hooves from slipping, Wei San drove slowly.
Bai Lu saw that Yu Jiao had been worried since she left the Gu family, so she comforted her, "The old lady is kind-hearted. Since she sent someone to take you back home, it shows that she still loves you very much. She won't blame you for sneaking out of the house."
Yu Jiao nodded and smiled lightly. She was not worried about being blamed by the old lady, but... she was a little nervous for other reasons.
Yu Jiao rubbed her cheek against the fur collar of the cloak, feeling very melancholy. The words that the wife of Marquis of Annan said when she was putting the cloak on her just now reminded her of the time when Madam Liu went to the Marquis of Annan's mansion and said that she had no intention of marrying into the Gu family.
When she heard it from Miss Wei, she had not thought that Gu Yun would be interested in her.
Just now she suddenly realized that Gu Yun was too good to her, and that Lady Annan's intimacy was a bit too much.
I just hope she misunderstood.
Yu Jiao sighed softly. If Gu Yun really had that intention, it would be better for her to make it clear to him as soon as possible. She already had Yu Qizhe in her heart, and she would never accept someone's kindness for no reason if she didn't like him.
Yu Jiao was in a daze all the way, and when she came to her senses, she had already entered the back door of Liu's mansion.
Bai Lu helped Yu Jiao get off the carriage, and Wei San bowed and said, "It was I who went to the old lady's courtyard to tell her about your leaving the mansion, so please don't take it as an offense, Miss San."
He was a smart man. Since he was going to work under the third lady of Yingyue Pavilion in the future, he might as well confess directly.
Yu Jiao looked at him and said, "It's okay. You are also loyal to your duty."
Seeing that Yu Jiao was not angry with him for complaining, Wei San began to believe what the old lady said. The third young lady was indeed a good person, and he felt more at ease serving such a master.
"The old lady told you to go directly to her courtyard when you come back." Wei San said carefully, "The old lady knew you were out of the house, but she was not unhappy. She quickly asked the servants to prepare a carriage and told them to light a charcoal basin and wait outside the Annan Marquis's house to pick you up. She felt sorry for you getting cold."
Yu Jiao felt warm in her heart and walked towards Baoshou Hall. The old lady was the best grandmother she had ever met.
Bai Lu took a step back, took off her cloak, and gave it back to Wei San. "Thank you for your hard work, brother. Thank you for lending me the cloak."
Wei San smiled and waved his hands, "You are not worthy of thanks. Sister, please go back to the courtyard and warm yourself up."
Bai Lu chased after Yu Jiao, and they both entered Baoshou Hall.
Madam Liu was looking out of the room. When she saw Yu Jiao, she quickly opened the felt curtain and said, "The Third Miss is finally back. The old lady has been waiting for you to come back for dinner."
When Yu Jiao walked into the room, she saw Liu Yaoyu and the old lady both sitting on the couch.
The old lady waved at her. As soon as Yu Jiao approached, her hands were held by the old lady. "Are you cold? You must be frozen."
Without waiting for Yu Jiao to speak, she hurriedly said to Madam Liu, "Tell the maids to set the table and serve the hot soup first."
