☆, Chapter 56 Miss Chen was terribly tricked
Miss Chen was sweating profusely, her clothes almost soaked through. Zhou Mujiao took a new dress from her own wardrobe that she hadn't worn yet and gave it to her to change into. After changing her clothes and washing her face, Miss Chen had her maid comb her hair again. She felt refreshed and regained her demeanor as a young lady from an official family.
She and her brother discussed it all the way and decided to win over Zhou Mujiao first. After all, it was Zhou Mujiao who saved her, so she had to take this seriously. Otherwise, Zhao Yunjing would definitely think she was ignorant and lacked manners.
Miss Chen gave a slight curtsy: "Last time, we were very grateful for Miss Zhou's righteous help. Otherwise, my maid and I would have certainly been in trouble. So today I have come to express my gratitude. Thank you, Miss Zhou, and thank you, Young Master Zhao as well."
They were there for Zhao Yunjing, and Zhou Mujiao thought it wouldn't matter whether she responded or not. Sure enough, after Miss Chen finished speaking, she looked at Zhao Yunjing shyly again. Young Master Chen tugged at her clothes several times to remind her, but to no avail.
Young Master Chen didn't care anymore. Anyway, they brought so many people with them, how could Zhao Yunjing dare to have any ill intentions towards her? — If he really did have such intentions, that would be good. Then Miss Zhou would be able to see Zhao Yunjing's true colors. At that time, Miss Zhou would be heartbroken, and if he showed her more care and consideration, Miss Zhou would surely see his good qualities.
“Miss Zhou, I have lived in the city all my life and I was unaware that the scenery in this village was so beautiful. It would be my greatest honor to enjoy this beautiful scenery with you.” Young Master Chen smiled.
Young Master Chen is quite handsome, and his every move exudes the air of a refined gentleman. However, Zhou Mujiao doesn't like his type. No matter how poised he is or how elegant he tries to appear, she won't give him a second glance.
but……
Zhou Mujiao's eyes darted around, and she smiled: "It's not difficult for Young Master Chen to appreciate the beauty of the village, but I'm busy today and can't spare the time. How about this, Young Master Chen, you can wander around first, and I'll take you around when I'm done with my work?"
Young Master Chen was overjoyed: "Good! Good! Good! Then I'll stay here by myself for now, and we can enjoy the sunset together after Miss Zhou is done with her business!"
"Then I'll go take care of my work first. Eighteen, Xiao Wu, you two take Young Master Chen out for a stroll."
Miss Chen was delighted to hear this, thinking that Zhou Mujiao had accepted another man's invitation in front of Zhao Yunjing, so even if Zhao Yunjing had great feelings for her, he couldn't stand it, right?
Zhao Yunjing smiled faintly: "There are many things to do in the fields and the embroidery room, so Ajiao and I cannot personally entertain the guests. Please take care of Miss Chen, Mr. Chen and Miss Chen. I will go and attend to my duties first. Please make yourselves at home."
Zhao Yunjing picked up his hoe and went down to the field. Miss Chen was so infatuated with his back that she didn't care about anything else and chased after him. Her maid Cui'er was almost frightened and quickly led the old woman and servant to follow.
As for Young Master Chen…
Zhou Mujiao turned and went to the embroidery room. She then announced a half-hour break: "The pattern needs to be adjusted. It's too hot. Everyone, please go outside and rest for a while. I will let you know when it's ready."
Deng Sanya and Tian Erya's curiosity was piqued from the moment they heard a man's voice, but since it concerned Zhou Mujiao, they dared not chat in public. When they heard that the conversation had been paused, they rushed out. Upon seeing the elegant and handsome Young Master Chen, they immediately became shy and stood hesitantly at the entrance of the embroidery room, not daring to go any further.
The Luo sisters were a little embarrassed, but not as shy as Deng Sanya and the others. When their eyes met, they nodded and greeted each other.
Yang Xiaoya, however, assumed that Young Master Chen was also one of Zhou Mujiao's people, so she rushed over and said, "Hey, come and help me!"
Young Master Chen entered the embroidery room. The moment he saw Zhou Mujiao, his joy was evident in his eyes: "Miss Zhou, did you call me?"
Zhou Mujiao was surprised: "No."
Yang Xiaoya chimed in, "It wasn't Sister Jiaojiao who called you, it's me who needs to talk to you! Come on, see these fabrics? Learn from me and help me sort them out, we'll need them later."
Young Master Chen was confused, but seeing Zhou Mujiao standing nearby, he thought it would be nice to be in the same room with her, so he happily helped the little girl with her chores.
Watching Young Master Chen being bossed around by Yang Xiaoya while still looking happy, Zhou Mujiao felt that although the two were not on the same wavelength, they inexplicably had a kind of CP feeling.
Now let's talk about the other side.
Zhao Yunjing never expected that Miss Chen would actually chase him all the way to the fields and even want to work with him!
"Brother Zhao, although I don't know anything, I'm very smart and I can learn quickly. Can you teach me? Is this how you swing a hoe?"
Miss Chen tried to imitate Zhao Yunjing by swinging a hoe, but the paddy field ridge was too narrow and she didn't control her strength well. She lost her balance and fell into the field with a thud.
"Miss!!"
The maids and servants all rushed up to pull Miss Chen away, but Zhao Yunjing, seeing that she was alright, walked a little further away.
Miss Chen was covered in mud and looked extremely disheveled. Seeing Zhao Yunjing hiding far away, she couldn't help but cry sadly.
Cui'er, always fiercely protective of her mistress, shouted, "You surnamed Zhao! It's an honor for you that my young lady came to see you! You, a mere peasant, not only don't know how to be grateful, but you even made my young lady cry! That's too much! I'm going to tell the master and have him punish you!"
The old women comforted Miss Chen: "Miss, what's so good about this Zhao fellow besides his good looks? Look at him, he didn't even glance at you when you fell. Even if you marry a man like that, he won't be considerate to you! Miss, your master and mistress raised you all these years and even hired a tutor to teach you, not so you could be trampled on by this peasant!"
Two servants said, "Miss, please don't cry. We'll go and break that peasant's legs right away so he can come and apologize to you!"
Zhao Yunjing ignored her and swung the hoe even faster. Seeing this, Miss Chen cried even more bitterly. When she saw that the two servants were really about to rush over and teach Zhao Yunjing a lesson, Miss Chen shouted, "Stop! Don't you think I've been humiliated enough? Get out of my way!"
Just then, a woman's voice cut in: "You know you're embarrassing yourself, why don't you leave? Do you want to embarrass yourself even more?"
Zhao Yunjing's head throbbed even more when he heard the voice, because the person who came was none other than Chen Xiuxiu!
Chen Xiuxiu carried a hoe on her shoulder, her complexion was very healthy, and sweat was dripping down her face, giving her a wild and beautiful look. She looked at Miss Chen critically: "It's you, trying to steal Brother Zhao from me?"
Rob?
Miss Chen stopped crying and immediately stared at Chen Xiuxiu: "Who are you?!"
"Before entering my Peach Blossom Village, didn't you know to do some research first? I am Brother Zhao's fiancée, Chen Xiuxiu! We've been childhood sweethearts, and we were engaged when we were three or four years old! You'd better leave right now, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
Childhood sweetheart, his fiancée was betrothed when he was three or four years old?
Even after marriage, you can still get a divorce. It's just an engagement; can't you break it off anytime?
Miss Chen sneered: "I am the daughter of the county magistrate. How dare you, Miss Xiuxiu, be so impolite to me?"
