”Prince Jin's Wife?”

The Lady Xu immediately suspected that she had heard it wrongly. Li mama's words were filled with passion, ”It really is the Prince Jin's Wife. I just heard it wrongly, is that palanquin still okay? That grandeur …”

”Then what are you still talking about? Hurry up and welcome him!”

Lady Xu could be considered to have seen a lot of things. When she heard Prince Jin's Wife had come knocking, she panicked and looked like she was about to take over. She jogged all the way to the entrance, but Prince Jin's Wife had already headed in.

”This subject greets Prince Jin's Wife. Why didn't you inform me in advance so that I could welcome you.” Lady Xu was flattered.

Prince Jin's Wife did not care about these formalities, and walked while laughing, looking in, ”Elder Official Xie is an elegant man, you are also well-educated, the repairs done in the palace are very interesting.”

”It's all old master's intentions. It's fine after all.”

”I heard that the Third Miss had planted a Begonia in the house, and it's from the south. Can you let me take a look?”

I heard that this is for Third Miss, Lady Xu thought for a while, thinking of that guess, could it be that Prince Jin's Wife is really going to matchmaking for Third Sister?

”That Begonia is planted in her garden. It would be a great honor if you wanted to see it.”

Lady Xu was just being polite, but she didn't know that Prince Jin's Wife was actually more interested, ”Oh? ”Then I really must go and take a look. Madame Lausse will lead the way.”

What kind of method was this? This time, Lady Xu completely could not guess what Prince Jin's Wife meant. At least he had to enter the main house first, since it was not convenient for a girl to stay here.

”You're welcome. It's just that we spoilt my daughter. The room might not be well-received …”

”That's nothing. Who still hasn't beaten up the girl before coming over?”

Lady Xu could not speak anymore. She could not even signal with her eyes to send someone to report, so she could only concentrate on accompanying him to an inconspicuous courtyard in the Xie Clan Residence.

Xie Jingxi had only stayed in the Xie Palace for a short time, but the few good courtyards had already been taken by the big girls and the second girls, as well as her two brothers. Her Jiang Xue Xuan wasn't too bad, but she was not as good as Second Miss's. Originally, the big miss had mentioned asking her to go to her former courtyard, but Xie Jingxi didn't really care about that. In the past, she lived with the old lady in the countryside of Jiangnan.

When Prince Jin's Wife went in, Xie Jingxi was doing some gardening with Ming Yu, sunbathing with whatever flowers, carrying them into the house when the night was cold, watering whatever flowers, were all done by her personally, so Ming Yu could only hold on to some water and give her scissors.

”Miss, does our Begonia need to be covered with cotton wool? It's getting cold at night, what if it's frozen again and we can't carry it into the house. Do you want to start a brazier for it?”

Xie Jingxi scoffed, ”Silly girl, since our Begonia have fallen, it is not that weak anymore, even if it is pampered, no matter where it is, it would be fine if it could not live on, but since it lives, it should follow the cold of the north, and become stronger, do you think it is like you, who will not be able to come out at winter time?”

Ming Yu had nothing to say, but she was afraid of the cold, ”Since Miss has said so, then I should come out and freeze as well.” Then, she seemed to remember something as she shivered, ”I, I'll forget about it. I won't go through with myself …”

”What an interesting girl.” Prince Jin's Wife laughed as he entered the house, causing the master and servant pair in the garden to jump in laughter.

Xie Jingxi naturally recognized Prince Jin's Wife. Ming Yu had never seen him, so she only paid her respects, ”Jingwan greets Prince Jin's Wife. How did you have the time to come to my place?”

Xie Jingxi wasn't as terrified as Lady Xu was. After all the courtesy she should have shown was complete, and she treated everyone the same. Prince Jin's Wife couldn't help but look at her with praise.

”My name is Ming Yu.” Ming Yu was not as unfazed as she was before. When she saw the legendary Prince Jin's Wife, she did not even know how to stutter.

”Hey, what are you afraid of? You can talk to me however you want to with you girls.”

Lady Xu could not help but be shocked.

The Prince Jin's Wife walked over to the Begonia and said, ”It's rare for you to plant a root in the north. It's growing well.
