Yun Jiao gave a bitter smile, "Yingying, I’m serious, following probably ans death."
"You are now a maid for the Second Crown Prince, at least your life is safe."
Yang Ying wanted to say sothing, but Lin Shishi gestured for her not to speak.
Yun Jiao asked, "By the way, where is Qinxin Garden? I heard I will live there in the future."
Lin Shishi pointed to the side with her right hand, "It’s right next door."
Yun Jiao frowned, "Then where does the Princess live?"
Lin Shishi pointed to the left with her left hand, "The Qingxue Garden on the left."
She continued in a low voice: "We have just arrived, we haven’t figured out the situation in the mansion."
"I will slowly inquire, and tell you when I know sothing."
Yun Jiao held her hand, "I’ve really relied on you all along this journey."
Lin Shishi smiled, "We are all from Chu Country, naturally we should help each other."
Not long after, a maid ca in and said, "Qinxin Garden has been arranged properly."
Yun Jiao stood up ready to go over, and at that mont Wanyan Zhang ca in.
He stared at Yun Jiao, "I have many maids here, they are all from Chu Country, you can choose so to serve you, avoiding any language barrier."
Yun Jiao said, "I won’t choose, the Second Crown Prince can arrange as he sees fit."
Wanyan Zhang thought for a mont, just then saw Yang Ying, "I rember last ti at the traveling palace you were the one serving, you can follow and serve Miss Gu."
Yun Jiao was speechless for a mont, she just couldn’t avoid it.
Yang Ying happily agreed, "Yes."
Then Wanyan Zhang pointed out seven more maids, all of whom were generally obedient, and he instructed, "From now on, Miss Gu is your master, serve her well, if there is any mistake, you will be held accountable."
The maids all bowed their heads in response.
Yun Jiao saluted Wanyan Zhang and then walked out.
Yang Ying quickly stepped forward to support her.
Another maid, quick-witted, supported Yun Jiao from the other side.
After leaving the main courtyard, they didn’t walk far and arrived at the nearby Qinxin Garden.
Entering, they saw a few lilacs planted in the courtyard, now blooming with light purple flowers, filling the entire garden with fragrance.
They went further into the house.
In the main hall, there was a three-foot-tall red coral, with a pair of white jade bottles displayed on the table.
All the furniture is made of rosewood, and on the tall cabinet in the corner stands a gemstone bonsai.
Yun Jiao looked at that bonsai, it felt sowhat familiar.
She suddenly rembered, she had seen it in the Duke Mansion’s storeroom, exactly the sa, it might even be the very sa one.
Yun Jiao lightly chuckled to herself and entered the adjacent bedroom.
Incense was burning in the bedroom, the scent was strong.
Yun Jiao slled musk and imdiately said, "Extinguish the incense, remove the incense burner."
The maid imdiately took the incense burner out.
Musk is a precious spice, often used in various incense cakes and pills, while it breaks blood and disperses clots, this little scent wouldn’t have any serious effect.
Yun Jiao ordered the maid to bring water over; she was very tired now, washed up a bit, and went to bed without waiting for lunch.
At noon, Wanyan Zhang sent soone over to call Yun Jiao for a al.
A maid nad Chen Juan was about to wake Yun Jiao, and Yang Ying stopped her, "Go and report to the Prince and say the master is sleeping."
Chen Juan hesitated for a mont, turned around, and went out.
Wanyan Zhang didn’t say anything after hearing Chen Juan’s report, had his al, and then went to Qinxin Garden himself.
The courtyard was quiet.
The door to the bedroom was open, only an autumn-colored silk curtain hanging down.
Wanyan Zhang reached out and lifted the curtain.
