Chapter 137 The Dong Family is Back
After the banquet, Lin Jiaojiao's face was so stiff from smiling that it was finally over. She thought she was free but was called back into the study by Governor Jiang.
But after entering, he found that there was another person, Su Tongpan.
She knew she couldn't escape it, and she also thought the original owner might be her daughter, but she was not prepared to recognize her. She didn't want to get involved in any messy disputes in the mansion.
Bad luck go away!
After she entered, she bowed to the two of them, "Foster mother, Lord Su."
As soon as Magistrate Jiang nodded, the people around her couldn't wait to walk up to her and look at her face carefully.
"Hanzhi, does she look like Yulang..."
Hanzhi was exactly the name of Magistrate Jiang. Looking at Su's mother like this, she shook her head and sighed. She knew that she would be like this when she saw this girl. After all, she was also shocked when she saw her last night. Even her husband sadly thought of his close friend Bai Yu, Su's mother's deceased husband, last night.
“Yes.”
Lin Jiaojiao was so embarrassed by this scene that she wanted to pick her toes. She was not the original owner, and she was very anxious to go back. She really didn't have time to act out this bloody family recognition drama.
She also knew that even if she denied it now, they would definitely send people to find out the news, so she was straightforward.
"Master Su, I don't care who I look like. Although I don't know who my biological parents are, I don't care. I am living a good life now. I have my own family and career. No matter whether I am yours or not, if I am not better, if I am, I beg you not to disturb my peaceful life now. I will be very grateful to you."
She knew that what she said was very heartless, but she didn't want to make things more complicated. The gossips in these mansions really didn't suit her. Originally, she had to recognize Governor Jiang as her adoptive mother this time, just to let Fu Qi get married quickly and legitimately.
She didn't want to stay any longer, so she bowed again and said, "If you are all right, I will take my leave."
Seeing how determined she was, Governor Jiang did not try to persuade her to stay and agreed to let her leave.
When Su's mother saw the man leaving, she wanted to keep him but didn't know how to start, and every word she said hurt her deeply.
Prefect Jiang had no choice but to step forward and pat her shoulder to comfort her: "Don't worry, the child may not be able to accept it for a while. I have sent people to inquire about the news. Let's talk about it when the news is confirmed."
Lin Jiaojiao walked out of the house and went towards the courtyard where Fu Qi lived. Because the young master of the Jiang family was also in the backyard, she just stood at the gate of the courtyard waiting for the servant to report.
After a while, hurried footsteps were heard.
"Master, please slow down."
Fu Qi walked quickly up to her. He hadn't seen her for almost a day.
"Sister Jiaojiao."
Because there were outsiders around, she couldn't go forward to support him, and just reminded him: "I will leave for Nanshan soon, stay at home and wait for your marriage these days, and take care of yourself, wear more clothes and don't catch a cold."
"Got it, Sister Jiaojiao, be careful when you go back. I will wait for you to marry me..."
He said that he was extremely reluctant to leave. He wanted to rush into her arms and hug her tightly. This time they could only see each other when she came to propose.
Although she also wanted to hug him and comfort him, they had been together all the time for more than two months, and she was a little uncomfortable with the sudden separation.
It was not polite for the two of them to meet in private, so after a few words, she left and went straight to the side door of the Jiang Mansion.
Fu's mother had also been waiting here for a long time. She handed the bag to Lin Jiaojiao, gave her a few instructions, and watched her get on the carriage and leave.
She didn't look away until the carriage was no longer visible, then she withdrew her gaze and walked back to the yard. After spending half a month together, she felt a little reluctant to leave her. Thinking back to the joy they had experienced along the way, she was sure that there was no one who didn't like this child.
It takes more than four hours to get from Qingzhou to Nanshan. Except for a quarter of an hour break for dinner, the whole journey went straight to Nanshan City without stopping. It was almost dawn by then.
There were two carriages in her team. She sat in one and the other carried her goods. In addition to two coachmen, she was escorted by four guards.
It's very late now. Logically, she should find an inn to rest and set off again tomorrow, but she can't wait any longer. She is eager to go home.
Although others were dissatisfied, who could blame her for being their master's new adopted daughter? After the coachman arrived at Chongkan Town, he didn't know how to get away.
Fortunately, she had ridden in a ox cart every day before and was familiar with this road, but once she was on the road she was in trouble again.
I haven't been back for almost three months. Now the roads are covered with snow. It's the same everywhere. Some iconic buildings have long been covered with snow.
The journey ahead was fine as they were all on the mainland, but when they reached the fork in the road she became confused and every direction seemed the same.
Finally, she pointed out a path by feeling, and only when she passed a stone bridge did she breathe a sigh of relief, feeling lucky she had not taken the wrong path.
She was really afraid that if she took the wrong path, this group of people would drag her out and beat her up.
When she arrived at the entrance of Linjia Village, she did not let the carriage go into the village and disturb people, but drove along the outskirts towards the farm.
It was the time for the farm patrol team to change shifts. When the eight girls saw a carriage approaching from a distance, they looked at each other tacitly, one of them left quickly, and the others picked up their spears and stood at the gate.
The entire farm was surrounded by wooden fences, and the gate was also closed with a fence gate, but the gaps between the wood were quite large. Seeing the carriage stopped at the gate, the leading girl shouted directly.
"Who is coming?"
"it's me."
Lin Jiaojiao heard the girl's voice and stuck her head out. Looking at the girls holding sharp blades in the fence, she nodded with satisfaction, thinking that the money was not wasted.
"Dongjia? Dongjia!"
"The boss is back!"
"Keep your voice down, or you'll wake up the whole village."
She smiled as she looked at the girls who opened the door. She thought that these children who came late would not remember her voice and appearance after not seeing her for such a long time, but she didn't expect that they all remembered her and were very excited to see her.
"Work hard, we'll go in first."
"Yes!"
Deng Yan was awakened by the girl who came back. She got up, dressed, and stood at the gate of the courtyard with the other two girls, ready at all times. However, after waiting for a while, she did not hear the bell at the gate.
Lin Xiumei also heard the noise, got up, put on her clothes and went to the gate to watch together. She was so cold that she was dying of cold.
I saw a carriage slowly approaching from a distance. Could it be Manager Lin?
Lin Jiaojiao saw the gate of the courtyard, lifted the car curtain and hurriedly got out of the car. Seeing the few people standing at the gate in shock, she said, "I'm sorry to disturb your rest. It's okay. Go and rest quickly."
Then he said to the guards, "Thank you for your hard work. Come in and have some hot soup to warm your bodies."
When Lin Xiumei saw that her boss had returned, she hurried to the small kitchen to boil water, and then woke up the chef who lived in the yard to cook noodles for the guests. She then hurried to clean up the vacant room and make the bed.
"My boss is back!"
