Chapter 250 We are all our own people
When Lin Jiaojiao saw people looking at her, her whole body tensed up and she didn't dare to move.
But fortunately, the man only glanced at the door of the wing room and then turned away. She breathed a sigh of relief and quickly squatted down and hid behind the green plants.
This is outrageous. In the TV dramas and novels she has seen, when the protagonists encounter such situations, don't they all easily avoid being noticed, and then a scene occurs where she runs away and he chases her and she can't escape even if she has wings?
She thought that she should just go back through the window and wait for someone to come back. The young man looked handsome and didn't look like a bad person. Maybe he was a fellow traveler.
She didn't give up and stood up and looked towards the yard. Fortunately, there were more people there.
The evil capitalist has so many slaves serving him that he lives better than the princes.
Thinking about it this way, Qi Yao is too miserable. He doesn’t even have a personal servant or anything.
She turned around resignedly, but her sleeve accidentally scratched against a branch, making a rustling sound. She was so scared that she looked around like a frightened bird, and her sight happened to meet two people who had just come out from under the eaves of the main house.
"Ah! There's a thief! Catch the thief!"
Jiang Huai walked out of the room and breathed in the fresh air. As the weather was getting warmer, he thought that there was no need to put the coal basin in the room. After all, the whole room would be stuffy and smell bad if there was coal in the room.
But his father told him that men should keep warm and not let their bodies get cold, otherwise it would be difficult to get pregnant.
His father suffered this loss when he was young and was unable to give birth to another daughter for his mother, so he paid great attention to this aspect of his son.
But before he could take a few breaths, he heard a rustling sound. He looked towards the source of the sound and saw a person standing vaguely behind a bush on his right that had sprouted new buds and was growing well. Before he could see clearly, Zhu Xue behind him had already shouted loudly.
The servants who were cleaning the yard immediately ran over with brooms and cordoned off the area.
These servants still have some martial arts skills. After all, given Jiang Huai's appearance, there are few female servants in the mansion, and it is impossible to send guards to guard him.
So when Jiang Huai was twelve years old, Prefect Jiang hired a master to teach them martial arts.
When Lin Jiaojiao saw him, the scene of her crawling into the veil of the elf prince immediately emerged in her mind. She never expected that she would see him again in her lifetime.
But when she was surrounded by six slaves holding sticks, she realized that something was wrong.
She quickly raised her hands and walked out, still shouting.
"Don't fight, don't fight, we are all family."
Everyone was startled when they heard the voice, and then they saw that the person walking out from behind the bushes was indeed a woman. The servants were horrified. If Prefect Jiang knew that a woman had sneaked into the courtyard, they would be in trouble.
He didn't care what nonsense she said and raised the stick in his hand and hit her.
"Stop, this is Miss Lin. She must be here to see Mr. Lin. Everyone, get out of here."
The servants looked at each other. Although they thought this was very strange, they still obeyed their master, took back their sticks and left the yard.
Lin Jiaojiao put down her hands that were covering her face only after everyone had left. She was so scared that she thought she was going to be beaten.
She looked at the person under the eaves. This time she could see him more clearly than before. Especially in the morning light, he really looked like a fairy who had strayed into the mortal world. She was so greedy that she wanted to imprison him and let him stay with her every night...
No, what is she thinking about!
She scratched her head sheepishly and smiled at him apologetically.
"Thank you. I didn't expect that we would meet again. Last time I got into your shoes..."
"It's okay. Zhuxue, go call Mr. Lin."
Zhu Xue didn't expect it would be Lin Jiaojiao. He knew she would come back today, but he didn't expect it to be in such a sneaky way.
He came back to his senses after hearing the order, and walked down the stairs to Lin Yizhi's room, but he was thinking about the last time? The last time the young master met her?
Jiang Huai didn't expect that she would bring up the last incident so blatantly. The accident caused him to have unspeakable dreams for several nights, and he finally managed to calm down and not think about it anymore. Now that she reminded him of this, he felt his whole body burning.
When Lin Jiaojiao saw that Zhuxue knocked on the door several times but no one answered, she realized who Mr. Lin was and immediately spoke warmly.
"He's not here. He's gone out to look for his mother."
After she finished speaking, she remembered something important and ran to his side in small steps. Before she even stepped onto the stairs, he frowned and took a few steps back, so she had to stop to avoid scaring the fairy away.
"Well, could you please take me away?"
"leave?"
"Yes, I don't know why I woke up here. It's really not trespassing. This is all a misunderstanding. My family must be very worried when they see that I'm missing, so could you please take me out of the house?"
"..."
He frowned and stared at the woman in front of him in confusion. Her appearance and voice were undoubtedly Lin Jiaojiao, but her anxious and sincere tone did not sound like she was lying.
After hearing her say this, Zhuxue pushed the door open and went into the room to check. After all, she had been acting sneaky before, which made people suspicious. When she saw that there was really no one in the room, she hurried out and was surprised to hear her words.
"Miss Lin, what are you talking about? This Jiang Mansion is half your home. Now that you are back, Mr. Lin won't be anxious anymore."
Zhu Xue accompanies Jiang Huai and Lin Yizhi every day, so he can see Lin Yizhi's anxiety and worry.
Now that she has finally come back, she says some incomprehensible things and asks his young master to send her away. Isn't this making his young master resented?
When Lin Jiaojiao heard his words, she turned her head to look at him. Just as she was about to ask him what he meant by the Jiang Mansion being half her home, she was sternly interrupted by someone who appeared at the gate of the courtyard.
"Jiao Jie'er, come here."
She heard the voice and looked over. It was a middle-aged woman in official uniform. If it weren't for the voice and the bulge on her chest, she wouldn't be sure that this person was a woman.
She was bewildered.
Can women become officials in this world?
Prefect Jiang got the news from Lin Yizhi and rushed over immediately without caring about anything else. She saw a group of servants gathered at the gate of the courtyard, and her face immediately turned bad.
Lin Jiaojiao is still not quiet even after losing her memory.
Lin Jiaojiao heard her shout again, and then she realized that it seemed like she was calling her.
She raised her hand and pointed at herself: "Are you calling me?"
Prefect Jiang suppressed his temper and nodded patiently: "Yes, come over quickly."
Lin Jiaojiao turned back to look at Jiang Huai, hoping to get advice from him, after all, he was the only one she knew here.
However, Jiang Huai just turned his face away and stopped looking at her. She had no choice but to turn back and look at Prefect Jiang. After thinking for a while, she finally walked over.
He looks like an official, so he shouldn't be a bad person.
And why do the people here seem to know her? It’s so strange. She didn’t travel through time to become someone else’s body.
She looked down at her body as she walked. If there hadn't been someone around, she would have wanted to take out a mirror and take a closer look.
She followed Magistrate Jiang out and listened to her speaking harsh words to the servants kneeling at the gate of the courtyard.
"If what happened today is leaked out and Huai'er's innocence is damaged, I will not let anyone off the hook."
"Please spare me, sir. I didn't see or hear anything."
She always felt as if the words were spoken to her. What was there to be innocent about? Not only were there only men in the courtyard, but she was also taken advantage of by someone.
Woohoo, her innocence is gone.
As Prefect Jiang walked, he looked at the person next to him. He had a rosy complexion and looked energetic. He didn't look like he had lost his memory at all.
"Jiao Jie'er, you really don't remember anything?"
Lin Jiaojiao listened to her words and looked over with a sad face, her voice weak.
"What should I remember?"
"Forehead…"
Prefect Jiang was stumped by the question and did not ask any more questions. He quickened his pace and walked towards the main hall.
When they arrived, many people were already sitting in the main hall. Even Judge Su Tong had come here early to wait.
Seeing them come in, Lin Yizhi hurried forward to greet them. Then, beside Lin Jiaojiao, Fu's mother and Su Tongpan also stood up and came to her to ask about her well-being. Seeing that she was not missing any limbs and was in good spirits, they felt relieved.
Lin Jiaojiao was almost unable to breathe because of the crowd surrounding her, but Governor Jiang pulled her aside.
"Okay, if you have anything to say, wait until Sister Jiao sees the doctor before we discuss it."
Finally, Lin Jiaojiao was taken to the next room, where a doctor was already waiting. He first performed a series of examinations on her, but all the indicators were normal.
There is no problem inside, so it is most likely caused by external impact, but the person in front of me doesn’t look like he has any injuries on his head.
Just when the doctor began to suspect that the person in front of him was pretending to have amnesia, he finally felt a not very obvious scar under her tied hair.
"Miss, when did you get this scar on the back of your head?"
