The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 109 Life experience (1)
Across a curtain, the air seemed to be still, and the slender fingertips pinched the palm, feeling a slight pain.Zhou Yi lifted the curtain, got out of the carriage, and stood in front of Zhao Jing.

Zhao Jing raised her head and looked at him. For the first time, she looked at the regent so unscrupulously, but her heart was calm without any disturbance.It seemed that all the fear of this person disappeared with that nightmare.

"You...are you not afraid of me?" Zhou Yi looked at Zhao Jing inquisitively, he was used to her looking like a concubine every time he saw him, so he felt a little unaccustomed to such a calm Zhao Jing.

"Does the lord really want me to be afraid of you?" Zhao Jing actually felt strange. The fear she had been unable to control before suddenly disappeared. She could stand in front of him calmly and watch him speak. .

"I don't want anyone to be afraid of me, including you." After Zhou Yi finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at the woman standing beside him, and said to her, "From now on, you will follow Miss Zhao and protect her every step of the way."

The girl clasped her fists and agreed, acting like a man, Zhao Jing took two steps back, raised her head and looked at Zhou Yi, with a bit of earnestness in her eyes: "If the prince really wants to protect me, why don't she go to the princess's place?" Beside me, watch the princess carefully, as long as the princess doesn't come to trouble me, I won't be surprised."

Zhao Jing's words made Zhou Yi speechless for a moment. The stubbornness and arrogance in her bones had never changed, and she didn't know how she had always maintained a mellow and transparent temperament in front of the queen mother and emperor.

"Okay, I promise you." Zhou Yi nodded, and asked her again, "Then what are your plans for the future?"

"My lord, don't worry, I have my own place to go." Zhao Jing lowered her head, thinking that instead of making him entangled, it's better for him to make it clear that Marquis Wu'an is his subordinate, no matter what he does, he will never come His subordinates robbed people, "The girl has agreed to go to the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion to be a teacher. I think there will be no problem in terms of livelihood."

She deliberately used the word "minister" repeatedly, just to remind Zhou Yi that she was no longer a maid in the palace, nor a slave.She was equal to him now, and he could no longer order her, command her, oppress her.

"Alright, Marquis Wu An is an upright person, so go." Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi said lightly, and his eyes softened a little when he looked at Zhao Jing, "You will be a lady in the Hou's mansion, even if you don't think about it. Someone is going to trouble you again."

At noon, there were more and more pedestrians on the road, and it was indeed a bit eye-catching for them to stand in the middle of the road and talk. Zhao Jing blessed the regent, got up, walked around the carriage and left.It wasn't until Zhao Jing's back disappeared into the crowd that Zhou Yi turned and left.

The child went out to play, and there was no one at home. Sitting in front of the dressing table, Zhao Jing took out the lost and recovered earring from her purse.She thought about it carefully, and it was probably when she returned from Jingci Temple that day, she was thrown in the carriage of the palace, and the concubine mistakenly thought that she and the regent had something to do, that's why what happened that day happened.

She will never wear this earring again in her life.Zhao Jing put it away in her dowry and heard Yuan came back from outside cursing.

Yuan's temperament is gentle, she has always been kind to others, and she is always very popular with her neighbors. Zhao Jing has never seen her like this, and her neck is a little thick with anger.

"Sister-in-law, what's the matter? Is something wrong?"

Zhao Jing rushed out of the room to welcome her. When Yuan Shi saw Zhao Jing, her eyes turned red and she burst into tears.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. Let's find a solution together if something happens. Don't cry."

Yuan Shi felt very angry at this moment, and she didn't know where to start. Seeing that Zhao Jing was still in the dark, she just wiped away her tears and said, "I've never seen such a shameless person. , Baba came to propose marriage, and now you have finally agreed, but today you actually sent a matchmaker over, saying that you want to withdraw from the marriage, tell me, what is this called, you are a big girl who has not yet left the cabinet! Their family is so ruined! I was so angry that I had a big fight with the matchmaker, but I was still panicking! When your brother comes back, let’s go to the Shen’s house and ask if there is anything you are not worthy of their widower My son is gone, how dare I ask someone to withdraw my marriage!"

When Zhao Jing heard this, she finally understood, but it was hard for her to feel that kind of loss, instead she felt a sense of relief.She didn't want to marry at first, but she had to. Now that she really didn't have to marry, she couldn't say she was happy, but she couldn't say she was unhappy either.

"Sister-in-law, please don't feel bad, it's not a big deal, just leave." Zhao Jing comforted Yuan Shi, dragged her into the main room, and poured her a cup of hot tea, "I was thinking , Mr. Shen is in good condition, we are about the same age, it would be a good thing if we can do it, now that people look down on me, then I will wait."
