Allure of a Country Maiden-Chapter 398 - 396

"Now that everyone is fine, let’s leave!" Shangguan Xuanyi said, then went back to his horse and mounted it.

"Miss Ming’s coachman is quite severely injured. I just fed him some medicine and he just woke up, so he might not be able to drive the carriage now." Jingrui thought of the coachman’s weak condition and said.

Uncle Qian knew his own condition, so he also said, "Miss, your old servant indeed can’t drive now."

The three men looked at each other because of this.

"I can’t drive." Jingrui reminded the two of them; despite his willingness, he was just not capable of doing it.

"Shaowei, you take Miss Ming’s carriage and see her home," Shangguan Xuanyi decided.

"Me?" Di Shaowei watched Ming Jingya with concern, wondering what he should do if she broke down in tears on the way.

Thinking so, he looked at the distant carriage as though it were a ferocious flood beast.

"What, me?" Shangguan Xuanyi responded lightly.

Shangguan Xuanyi looked at Di Shaowei who was expressing his feelings of doom and raised an eyebrow: "What happened that I don’t know about?"

"Nothing, absolutely nothing! What could have possibly happened?" Di Shaowei quickly looked at Ming Jingya, this man was so sensitive!

It was concerning Miss Ming’s reputation, if he kept asking, she might cry again.

Shangguan Xuanyi gave the two a glance, couldn’t figure out what happened, but didn’t continue with the questioning.

Ming Jingya couldn’t help but blush again.

Di Shaowei quickly sat in the driver’s position on the carriage.

"Miss Ming, get in the carriage, I’ll take you home!"

"I am obliged to Young Master Di." Ming Jingya bowed again, then the maid helped her into the carriage.

The maid, Cuihong, just touched Ming Jingya’s elbow and hissed, unable to help but shrink her hand.

"Miss, did you injure your hand?" Cuihong immediately withdrew her own hand, worried about touching her lady’s injury again.

Hearing this, Di Shaowei turned his head and looked at Ming Jingya. He unconsciously furrowed his brow, probably from falling from the carriage and he wondered how serious it might be.

"It’s just a slight skin abrasion, nothing serious," Ming Jingya dismissed the issue and then she grabbed the wall of the carriage and got in.

"Miss, are you injured anywhere else?" Cuihong asked worriedly.

"No, let’s get in the carriage quickly!"

After the two got into the carriage, the coachman sat next to Di Shaowei trembling, "It’s all my fault. I wasn’t careful, hence causing trouble for Young Master Di."

Young Master Di, the son of the Marquis Zhongyong, happened to have an even more esteemed status than his master. This made the coachman feel great pressure doing his own job.

"It’s okay, help people to the end, send Buddha to the west. Plus, your lady and my younger sister are familiar with each other and your masters and I are quite acquainted. It is right for me to help with this small favor. You don’t need to worry," Di Shaowei’s words were not just for the coachman but also to explain to Ming Jingya. He had just helped because he knew her identity and had no intentions of benefiting from it. Touching her lips was absolutely an accident!

Upon hearing this, Ming Jingya, who was wiping herself dry, paused and then continued to wipe.

Since it was not a big deal, it would be best to forget it. His careful words made it hard for her not to remember what happened!

Ming Jingya didn’t know, but Di Shaowei had been scared by her tears.

Ming Zhijie now has a three-compartment mansion in the Imperial City that he just moved into recently.

Shen Nirui gave birth to a big fat boy last year. Ming Zhijie’s maternal grandfather came to the Imperial Capital to attend his great-grandson’s full moon party and saw that the family of three was squeezed into a small yard. Being a nearly two-hundred pounds man, he even found it difficult to turn around in the living room!

He expressed that he couldn’t stand it. He was a rich merchant, and his business had become even bigger over the years. Therefore, with a wave of his big fat hand, he bought a three-compartment mansion in the Imperial Capital as a meeting gift for his great-grandson.

Di Shaowei drove the carriage to the front of the new Ming Mansion and stopped.

He jumped off the carriage, "Miss Ming, we have arrived at your brother’s residence."

Cuihong was the first to jump off the carriage, then went to help Ming Jingya who had been hanging half her body outside the carriage.

"Be careful not to touch Miss Ming’s wound." Di Shaowei couldn’t help but remind this seemingly clumsy maid.

"If Young Master Di didn’t remind me, I would have forgotten! Thanks for reminding me, Young Master Di." Cuihong quickly changed from holding Miss Jingya’s elbow to her palm.

Di Shaowei rolled his eyes. How could such a careless maid take care of her own mistress!

Ming Jingya couldn’t help but look up after hearing these words, and she saw him roll his eyes impatiently.

Ming Jingya couldn’t help but blush again. His impatience was understandable, given all the trouble she caused today.

After getting off the carriage, she bowed, "The young girl thanks Young Master Di for the great kindness again. I am sorry for causing trouble for Young Master Di. In the future, I will definitely let my brother visit to express his thanks." ƒreewebɳovel.com

Di Shaowei shook his head, "It is not necessary to express thanks, it was an effort of no inconvenience."

"Miss Ming, even if it’s just a small scratch, you have to apply medicine on time. With the hot weather now, the wound can easily get infected." Di Shaowei pointed at her elbow.

"I will." Jingya nodded.

"Then I’ll leave now." Young Master Di’s horse always followed the carriage, he called, and the horse came to him.

"Goodbye, Young Master Di." Jingya bowed again.

He jumped onto his horse and left quickly.

"Cuihong, knock on the door!" Jingya spoke to the maid who kept watching Young Master Di leave.

"Miss, Young Master Di is really good looking and considerate. It would be great if he could become your husband!"

"What are you talking about! If these words got out, would I still have my reputation!" Jingya couldn’t help but scold after hearing this.

Luckily, what happened earlier was not seen by the maid, otherwise, she would have exclaimed even more scandalous words.

Cuihong, knowing she said something wrong, quickly went to knock on the door.

The reason Jingya ran away from home was because her stepmother, Mrs. Ming, intended to marry her off as a replacement bride to a wealthy son of Qian Mansion. She ran away to the Imperial City to live with her eldest brother.

The eldest son of Qian Mansion frequented brothels all day long and never returned home at night.

His wife, who was nine months pregnant, had an argument with him because he openly brought a brothel girl home. She got angry and had a difficult childbirth, leaving behind a young child before she died.

A month after the wife died, while her death wasn’t cold in the grave, Qian Mansion was arranging another marriage for the son.

Who would dare to marry into this kind of family, this kind of man! Whoever married him would be jumping into a pit of fire!

Jingya’s mother advised her to go to the Imperial City to find her brother and just run away and escape the marriage! Let that son of Qian Mansion marry a legitimate daughter of Ming Mansion!
