Xie Nanjia had a noble status before her rebirth, and had never been treated so lightly. Anger flashed in her eyes, and she subconsciously wanted to slap Zhao Jingyu. Then she remembered her current status, and hurriedly lowered her eyebrows and eyes, and replied timidly with trembling eyelashes: "My name is Xiu'er, sir."
However, Zhao Jingyu keenly caught her fleeting anger and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Xiu'er?" He repeated, "Where have I heard this name before?"
"My lord, Xiu'er is the little girl you took in on your farm back then," said Hu Sanmu.
"Oh?" Zhao Jingyu was very surprised. "It turned out to be her, haha!"
He laughed loudly twice, grabbed Xie Nanjia's wrist, turned around and walked towards the courtyard: "Xiu'er, Xiu'er, what do you think is our fate? Come on, come in and reminisce with me, the young master."
"Second Young Master, what should we do with those girls?" Hu Sanmu chased after him and asked.
"Let them all go!" Zhao Jingyu waved his hand and pulled Xie Nanjia into the yard without looking back.
The girls hated Xiu'er so much, but they could only leave unwillingly.
Xiu'er's mother hid in the dark, and shed sad tears when she saw that her daughter could not escape the clutches of the Second Young Master after all.
As Xie Nanjia stepped into the yard, her heart, which had been hanging for a long time, finally settled down. She had finally entered this mansion.
The girls serving in the yard had been secretly paying attention to the situation outside. When they saw the Second Young Master coming in with his sleeves pulled up, they quickly dispersed and pretended to clean the yard.
Zhao Jingyu ignored her and pulled Xie Nanjia straight into the upper room. He let go of her hand and sat down on the armchair in the hall.
Xie Nanjia stood opposite him with her hands folded, looking at a loss.
Zhao Jingyu looked her up and down, vaguely remembering the timid little girl from back then.
It is true that girls change a lot when they grow up. The little girl turned into a beautiful woman, who was good at disguise.
She stood there, looking shy and timid, but there was clearly no trace of timidity in her eyes, and there was even a hint of calculation.
If he had not caught her fleeting anger just now, Zhao Jingyu would probably have really thought that she was still as timid as she was in the past. But now that he saw it, her pretended cowardice had a layer of playing hard to get meaning.
Zhao Jingyu smiled, his smile was frivolous: "Didn't you want to kowtow to me to express your gratitude before? Why are you not moving now?"
You are not qualified to kowtow to me! Xie Nanjia thought so in her heart, and replied: "I just want to kowtow to the Second Young Master outside, and I don't want to come in and serve him."
"Why? Isn't it good to serve me? Look those girls are eager to do so!" Zhao Jingyu said.
"That's them, not me," said Xie Nanjia.
The more she said this, the more Zhao Jingyu was sure that she was playing hard to get, so he exposed her mercilessly: "If that's the case, who said you wanted to give me a massage to relieve my fatigue?"
"..." Xie Nanjia lowered his head in silence, his eyes flickering.
Zhao Jingyu sneered: "It seems that you have only learned one of the thirty-six strategies."
A blush appeared on Xie Nanjia's face.
A beauty is a beauty, even if she plays tricks, it is hard to hate her.
The second young master only cares about beauty and ugliness, not honesty or cunning. The women who play tricks on him are just coveting his beauty and want to win his favor. The more such women are, the safer he feels.
So, he waved to Xie Nanjia and said, "Don't you know how to do massage? Come here and let me try my skills."
Xie Nanjia walked behind him calmly, put her hands on his shoulders, and breathed a sigh of relief in the faint smell of ambergris.
This conceited idiot, she deliberately revealed a flaw to him, and he really thought he was so smart, saying that she only knew one of the thirty-six strategies, but this one strategy completely let him down, didn't it
If you want to see my sister-in-law come up with other tricks, just wait!
