C270 (2/2)

Manqing was fanning the wind beside her with all her might.

Jing Jing's gaze couldn't help but turn towards Manager Zheng …

No matter how one looked at it, it seemed that the reason why he was so confident was because he was confident.

Had he already thought of a way to prevent Nangong Xiu from coming in?

Or … Could something have happened while he was out?

Jing Jing looked over with a face full of worry, she immediately jumped up.

He said to Man Qing, ”Go, invite Manager Zheng over!”

Manqing nodded and walked over.

The two of them seemed to have quarreled for a while. After a while, Man Qing came over with Manager Zheng.

He faced the heart of Jingjing. Although his expression could still be considered respectful and cautious, it was still a bit arrogant.

”I wonder if esteemed wangfei has any business with your subordinate?”

Jingjing looked at him and said, ”Why are you reading now?”

As he spoke, he reached out to snatch Manager Zheng's book. With a glance, he saw that it was the name of the servant.

Jing Jing knitted her eyebrows in surprise.

With a fake cough, he looked at Manager Zheng and said, ”You must check this out properly. You must not let Nangong Xiu break in. Do you understand?”

Steward Zheng nodded. ”Esteemed wangfei, don't worry. This one has already chased him away.”

”What?” Jing Jing stood up in shock, she looked at Manager Zheng in disbelief.

Manager Zheng looked at Jingjing's expression and couldn't help but nod his head. He said, ”That's right, I've found a suspicious looking man outside. I've chased him away, don't worry, wangfei!”

Finished speaking, he bowed deeply and looked at Jingjing with a serious expression.

Jing Jing said angrily, ”How can I not worry?”

Her face alternated between green and white as she became extremely angry.

However, it was difficult to display it in public.

If others were to find out anything about it, it would raise the suspicion of others even more.

Especially since Ling'er was still at the Duke's Mansion, she absolutely should not be sitting around doing such a foolish thing.

Manager Zheng saw the change in Jingjing's expression. Although he was puzzled, he thought it was because she wasn't happy with his decision he made so easily.

However, she didn't think too much and only said, ”Princess, don't worry. If anything happens next, this little one will definitely report it to you.”

Jing Jing was helpless, she could only nod her head and give up.

He sat back down.

She drank a cup of tea ruthlessly. She consoled herself by thinking that perhaps Nangong Xiu might not be the person he was talking about.

Even if that was the case, perhaps he would return.

It wasn't just a matter of one or two days, but a period of time.

By then, Nangong Xiu would definitely find a way to sneak in.

It depends on what time it is.

She absolutely believed that Senior Sister's man wouldn't be so bad.

However, in the first round, it was impossible for him to be chased away before he even met Jingjing.

Thinking like this, Jingjing's heart finally felt a little better.

Perhaps, Nangong Xiu had appeared in the most unexpected way.

Perhaps, among the people in the courtyard fighting the big man that he borrowed from General Xiahou, one of them was Nangong Xiu in disguise.

Perhaps one of them was from Nangong Xiu and had already snuck in.

Although this possibility … Very few.

Jing Jing looked worriedly at Manager Zheng. She knew that someone who was willing to trust someone as cautious as Li Yue was definitely not a simple person.

So Manager Zheng was so sure, maybe … The person who had been kicked out was none other than Nangong Xiu.

Although Jingjing was unwilling to admit this fact.

Thinking to this point, Jing Jing felt that Manager Zheng was even more unsightly to her.

However, although this person looked cold, he didn't seem to have any flaws in his way of doing things.

As such, Jingjing could not find any loopholes for her to exploit.

If that was the case, it was really quite depressing.

He could not release the fire in his heart.

While Jingjing was secretly vexed over the matter.

Suddenly, he saw a loathsome fatty walk in before him while shouting loudly.

Although his clothes were cleaner than the beggar's, to be honest, Jingjing just looked at him and felt that he was annoying.

How should he put it?

Watching on, he really wanted to beat this person up.

Jing Jing, who was originally in a bad mood, became even more depressed when she saw the oily look on his face.

He waved to Manager Zheng and said, ”Who are you choosing in this primary selection? How did such a person get in? ”

Steward Zheng turned to look at the fatty. ”Esteemed wangfei said this person?”

Jing Jing nodded her head: ”Seeing that his lower body is unstable and his walking speed is unsteady, such a person definitely doesn't know martial arts. Tell me, how can he be a bodyguard of the Prince's Mansion?”

Steward Zheng glanced at Jingjing and said, ”Esteemed wangfei's words are wrong.”

”Hmm?” Facing Manager Zheng's direct rebuttal, Jingjing clearly had an unhappy expression.

Manager Zheng continued, ”Although this person does not know martial arts, he is more flexible and knows how to fight!”

”Hmm? How do you know? ” Jing Jing asked.
