The weather was sunny and windy these past two days, so the road was not so muddy. Xie Nanjia followed the footprints left by the villagers and soon arrived at the mansion.
For fear of disturbing the second young master, the villagers did not dare to pass by the house. The surroundings were quiet, with only four guards guarding the door.
As soon as Xie Nanjia approached, the guards noticed her and asked her sternly what was the matter.
If she were an ordinary woman, she would be scared away by their ferocious appearance, but for Xie Nanjia, these were just small battles, so she would not panic.
She bowed gracefully and explained her purpose: "Greetings, gentlemen. I heard that the Second Young Master wanted to build a new house for us and give us money and food. I was injured yesterday and did not come to thank you. Today I came to kowtow to the Second Young Master."
Seeing that she was a country girl with good manners, measured words, and exceptionally beautiful appearance, the guards softened their attitude. One of them said, "The Second Young Master hasn't gotten up yet. If you want to kowtow, kowtow here. After you kowtow, leave quickly and don't disturb the Second Young Master's rest."
Xie Nanjia looked up at the sky. The sun was already high in the sky, but the Second Young Master was still sleeping. She thought that the girl that Hu Sanmu had carefully selected must be to his liking.
He is indeed a proud and extravagant person.
But she couldn't leave just like that. After a brief thought, she saluted the guard and said, "Sir, the Second Young Master is a noble man. He has come a long way and must not have slept well at night. I know a little about massage and can help him relieve his fatigue. Please let me know."
As soon as these words were spoken, the guards all showed expressions of sudden enlightenment.
He said he was kowtowing to express his gratitude, but it turned out that he really wanted to offer himself for the bed.
The second young master is suave and handsome, and there are countless noble ladies and celebrities in the capital who admire him. They have seen many women who overestimate their own abilities and try to curry favor with wealthy and powerful people.
How could a country girl like this dream of being the Second Young Master
The guards regained their serious expressions. The one who had spoken earlier drew his sword and said in a deep voice, "There are servants waiting in the Second Young Master's courtyard. Please kowtow and leave immediately. If you disturb the Second Young Master, you may lose your life."
The master was not serious, but the servants were very serious. Xie Nanjia stared at the gleaming blade for a moment, then turned and left without even bowing his head.
Zhao Jingyu was not worthy of her kneeling, no matter in terms of status or seniority!
Just as Xie Nanjia was about to turn the corner, a man in red walked out from the yard. He was tall, with a face as beautiful as jade. His long eyebrows showed the arrogance of a royal family, and his pair of peach blossom eyes that were full of sleepiness, and his look was full of elegance and grace.
The man walked to the door and stretched lazily. His big red coat fluttered in the wind, revealing his half-open snow-white undershirt and a strong chest.
Such charm was so stunning that even the guards were moved.
"Second Young Master!" The four of them bowed and saluted.
This person is Zhao Jingyu, the second son of Marquis Dingyuan.
"Yeah." Zhao Jingyu responded nonchalantly. He caught a glimpse of a slender figure passing by in the distance, and his sleepiness disappeared immediately. "Who is that?"
"My lord, it was a little maid from the farm who said that she was unable to come to thank you yesterday due to an injury, so she came today specially to kowtow to you." said the guard who had spoken to Xie Nanjia earlier.
"Oh?" Zhao Jingyu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Since you came here to kowtow, why are you leaving now?"
"My Lord, yes, it was my subordinate who drove her away." The guard suddenly felt a little uneasy.
"Why chase her away?" Zhao Jingyu frowned again.
The small change in action made the guard tremble with fear: "My lord, the girl said she wanted to kowtow at first, and then she said she wanted to give you a massage. I think she has bad intentions, so, so..."
The second young master raised his hand to interrupt his mumbling and went straight to the point: "Does it look good?"
"..." The guard's palms were sweating, "Okay."
"How good?"
“…” The guard couldn’t describe it, “It’s just very good.”
"How do they compare to those in the courtyard?"
"Better than any of them."
The second young master's face darkened, and he kicked the stupid man to the ground: "Why don't you go and call him back!"
