Chapter 923 Chapter 923
Jin Qi raised his head, revealing a pitiful little face. "Uncle, I have always admired my elder sister. She is smart, capable, and courageous. Now this maid is also in front of her. I think she must have been trained by my elder sister. I am stupid and weak by nature, and I have always wanted to learn from my elder sister..."
"She is just a maid, she has no special abilities."
Jin Meng wanted to decline politely, but Jin Qi said, "Uncle doesn't like birthdays, but these few days are your good days. The lives of these maids, no matter how humble they are, are also lives—"
Jin Meng sent Jin Qi away without blaming him too much.
The messenger called Jin Mo and asked him a few more questions. Jin Mo sighed, "General, even if that little rascal Pan Xi didn't tell you the truth, your subordinates and the eldest master wouldn't dare to hide it."
He even said a lot of things that Pan Xi couldn't say.
"I wanted to send her away casually, but Qi Niang came to me and asked for this maid to go."
Jin Meng bowed and said, "General, the Seventh Miss has her own considerations, but there is one thing I agree with. The maids and servants in front of the eldest lady must not cause any more deaths."
After that, he recounted the past year, from Zhu San to Yu Cheng, and then to Suo Hong and Pan Lan.
"There are many people gossiping in the capital. Before entering the capital, the eldest lady was also loved by the women in the capital. The ladies in the palace often called her in to talk. When she was at the peak of her popularity, it was inevitable that many people would be jealous. Therefore, there were many people staring at our mansion."
That's it!
Upon seeing this, Jin Meng ordered Jin Mo to beat Pan Xi and then threw the ball to Jin Qi.
Jin Qi's arrival saved Pan Xi, who was reciting the Sutra of Rebirth to herself. She knelt down in front of Jin Mo, and after repeated assurances, she went to serve Jin Qi.
Before Jin Fuyun left Liyang, she was protected in the house by Jin Qi and never showed up.
"Good girl, I know you and my elder sister have a rift, but she is not feeling well this time and her legs and feet are injured. In order to avoid you two old masters and servants meeting and recalling the bad times in the past, you'd better bear with it and stay away from her."
Pan Xi felt relieved, and his eyes were full of gratitude towards Jin Qi.
She knelt in front of Jin Qi repeatedly to express her loyalty. She was originally a maid raised in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. If she had not had evil thoughts and only served her superiors, to be honest, Jin Qi, a girl who had not received a good education since childhood, was flattered.
Besides, no matter how wealthy Liyang is, it cannot compare to the prosperous capital.
Pan Xi followed Pei An and Song Guanzhou in front and Jin Fuyun in the back. He also saw a lot of the world, which was better than Jin Qi, who became an orphan at a very young age.
Who is Jin Qi?
He lost his parents at a young age and grew up in a place like Liyang, relying on his uncle.
Jin Qi dreamed of experiencing the prosperity of the capital city, but except for the two times when she returned to her ancestral home in Beijing to celebrate her grandmother's birthday, she never had the chance to set foot on such a Feng Shui treasure land.
Looking forward to the arrival of happiness will make her days much happier.
It was because Pan Xiji was good at serving people, eloquent, and could write. As for needlework, she only made patterns and styles popular in the capital. In just half a month, she won Jin Qi's favor.
Jin Fuyun had thought about dealing with Pan Xi, but she didn't have the ability to do so.
After returning to Liyang and being severely beaten by his father, he was imprisoned in his own small yard for most of the time to recover from his injuries.
Pan Xi didn't feel relieved until Princess Hong'an and Jin Fuyun set out again to return to the capital.
"Thank you, Seventh Miss. Without your kindness, the eldest lady would have sold me as a slave."
Jin Qi sighed, "You are unlucky. You happened to run into the incident where the elder sister was framed. She has always been noble and upright. She couldn't stand it when her reputation was tarnished. You didn't persuade her properly and made her upset. You can't help it."
Pan Xi concealed what Jin Fuyun had done in the capital, followed Jin Mo's instructions, and just said that she had offended the eldest girl.
Jin Qi left Pan Xi behind with a clear purpose.
But when Jin Fuyun was around, she had to pretend, but after her mistress and the main master left, she began to approach step by step and inquire about the affairs of the capital.
"Speaking of which, my sister is also lucky."
Jin Qi pretended to praise casually, "In the past, she was betrothed to the eldest son of the He family, who was one of the most handsome men in Liyang. Now, she is betrothed to the Prince of Yong. Not only is she noble, but according to rumors, she is also a handsome man."
Pan Xi was doing embroidery with her hands, and smiled, "Seventh Miss, the eldest lady is also born noble, and she and Prince Yong are a perfect match."
snort!
Bullshit!
Jin Qi wanted to curse in his heart, but he still sighed, "When the third aunt came back, she mentioned it to my aunt, saying that the eldest girl didn't seem to like the prince..."
At this point, he shook his head to express his confusion.
"Good maid, tell me, is the prince too old, or is he not as good-looking as he is said to be?"
However, Jin Qi also knew that the Prince of Yong was definitely not an ugly man with a short stature, a big belly, small eyes and thick lips...
Pan Xi shook his head.
Jin Qi thought to himself, I told you it must be a good one.
Then the maidservant continued, "The prince is very handsome. Although he is almost thirty years old, he is dignified and elegant. He has come to the mansion several times to visit the young lady. He is humble and polite. He seems to be a very good man."
Damn!
"Then elder sister..., why is elder sister still disgusted?"
Just because the Fourth Young Master looks better.
Pan Xi swallowed the words and shook her head slowly, "I don't know. When I was getting along well with the young lady, I also tried to persuade her carefully, but she still had some grudges."
"Big sister... are you thinking of canceling the engagement because you can't have children?"
Pan Xi listened and shook his head slowly.
"The eldest girl has never mentioned that she wants to cancel the engagement. Such an important matter as marriage is decided by the general and the princess."
Jin Qi made a bitter face and sighed.
"Fortunately, my eldest sister left, otherwise she would have been fed up with me. My uncle mentioned before that my eldest sister couldn't have children. I thought that I had been saved by my uncle and aunt since I was a child. As long as I can help my uncle, I am willing to go and serve my eldest sister and the prince—"
When Pan Xi heard this, he lowered his head and said nothing.
She stopped sewing for a while before looking up with tears in her eyes, "Seventh Miss, I have saved my life because of your mercy. There are some things I have wanted to say since the first day I came to serve you, but I was afraid that my honest words would offend you."
Jin Qi was just waiting for Pan Xi to reveal her true feelings.
Upon hearing this, she dismissed the maidservants and servants in front of her, closed the door, took Panxi's hand, and whispered, "According to age, you are one year older than me, so it's okay for me to call you sister."
Pan Xi didn't dare to agree, so he quickly knelt down and bowed, saying "I dare not".
"But it doesn't matter."
Jin Qi pulled her along, like a harmless little white rabbit, and said softly, "Sister, you have been serving me for some time. You are smart, so you can see clearly that there is no one in this mansion who can speak to me from the heart."
