Chapter 255: Bed Climbing Maid
When Marquis Zhongyong saw Shen Jingxuan looking at him in shock, his cheeks instantly turned red all the way to his neck, perhaps from anger or shyness.
He glared at Shen Jingxuan: "Get out, get out now."
Seeing how angry he was, Shen Jingxuan turned around and walked out of the room.
Jiang Shaoying came back after washing her face and saw Shen Jingxuan sitting on a stone bench in the yard.
She was puzzled and asked: "A Xuan, why are you sitting here?"
Shen Jingxuan looked up at the sky speechlessly: "Your father is awake."
Did she think she wanted to sit here? It was so cold now, she was afraid she would freeze if she sat there for a while longer.
"He's awake, so what are you doing here?" Jiang Shaoying continued to ask.
Seeing her asking, Shen Jingxuan had to answer truthfully: "He kicked me out."
Don't ask her why. She has been sitting here for so long and still hasn't figured out the reason.
It was clearly the person she had saved at great expense, but he kicked her out without hesitation.
Jiang Shaoying ignored Shen Jingxuan and turned to walk towards Marquis Zhongyong's room.
But after a moment, Jiang Shaoying's loud shouting was heard from the yard.
Shen Jingxuan suddenly looked at the maids in the mansion, and seeing that they looked calm, as if they were used to it, she raised her body and slowly fell back onto the stone bench.
It seemed that Jiang Shaoying and Marquis Zhongyong often did this on weekdays, otherwise the maid should have been panicked, but she just saw that they seemed not to hear it.
"Bang..." The door was opened forcefully.
Shen Jingxuan suddenly looked towards the door, only to see Jiang Shaoying coming to her angrily.
Shen Jingxuan looked at her in confusion: "Why are you so angry?"
Jiang Shaoying sat there with red eyes and remained silent. After a long while, she said angrily, "My father has gone too far."
She looked at Shen Jingxuan hesitantly and said, "He actually... actually thought you were some blind maid who wanted to climb into his bed."
After saying that, Jiang Shaoying lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Shen Jingxuan.
I don’t know what Dad is thinking. He is already very old. Who would choose him instead of someone younger if they want to have sex with him?
What's more, Shen Jingxuan, whether in her dress or her temperament, doesn't look like a maid at all.
"Climb... climb the bed?" Shen Jingxuan glared at Jiang Shaoying.
She asked why the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery drove her away all of a sudden. It turned out that he treated her as a maid, and a maid who wanted to climb into his bed.
Jiang Shaoying said embarrassedly: "Axuan, don't be angry, I just scolded him."
"He has had this experience before, and now he doesn't dare to use a maid around him. Every time he sees a maid standing by his bed, he will be like this."
Is this because he is scared of climbing on the bed? Shen Jingxuan couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips when she thought of the appearance of the loyal and brave Marquis just now.
I think he really likes Jiang Shaoying's mother.
Now her mother has been dead for many years, but he still misses her. Not only does he not marry her, he even doesn't allow his maids to get close to her.
Shen Jingxuan couldn't help but admire his actions.
A man like Marquis Zhongyong must be extremely rare in this age when men have many wives and concubines.
Shen Jingxuan said: "It's not a big deal. It's good for him to do this. At least it makes you happy from beginning to end, right?"
She was so happy for Jiang Shaoying to have such a father, how could she be angry?
"Well, Axuan, thank you." Jiang Shaoying said.
Shen Jingxuan glanced at her and said, "You are being too polite to me."
Didn't she chase after me before and want to be friends with me? Now that they are considered good friends, she is being polite.
"I won't be so formal with you. It would be hypocritical of me to say that."
"Axuan, I'll take you to my yard."
After saying that, Jiang Shaoying took Shen Jingxuan and was about to leave. The voice of the Loyal and Brave Marquis came from the room: "Ying'er, come back."
He was waiting in the room for Jiang Shaoying to bring Shen Jingxuan into the room, but he didn't expect that the little girl wanted to take her away.
"No, just lie down on the bed. I want to take Xuan away."
He was the one who drove the people out, and now he is the one who wants them to go back. Does he think everyone has to listen to him?
The loyal and brave Marquis coaxed, "Ying'er, Daddy knows he was wrong. Bring her in and Daddy will apologize to her, okay?"
He knew Jiang Shaoying's temper very well. The tougher he was with her, the worse her temper would become.
How could he not know about his daughter, who had been by his side since she was a child? This was also the thing he wanted Jiang Shaoying to change, but he had never been able to do so.
Jiang Shaoying's eyes flickered when he heard his words: "Axuan, do you want to go in?"
Her father always used this method to coax her, and would lecture her again after the incident. She didn't know how many times she had experienced this.
Even though he looks like he’s admitting his mistake, after Shen Jingxuan leaves, I don’t know how long he will talk before he stops.
"go in."
Shen Jingxuan pulled Jiang Shaoying to the edge of Marquis Zhongyong's bed.
Only then did Marquis Zhongyong take a serious look at Shen Jingxuan. He saw that she was wearing a lavender dress and had a simple bun fixed with only a hairpin. Her back was straight and her eyes were slightly turned as if revealing a little light.
When they met for the first time, Marquis Zhongyong felt that the woman in front of him was no simple matter.
From the moment she entered the room, her footsteps were light and soundless, which made Marquis Zhongyong instantly realize that she was an extraordinary person.
The loyal and brave Marquis said, "Miss, I was offended just now, please don't hold it against me."
When Jiang Shaoying heard the decisive apology from Marquis Zhongyong, his expression gradually eased.
Shen Jingxuan nodded: "Ignorance is not a crime. You are too polite."
"He was just wrong." Jiang Shaoying said.
Shen Jingxuan raised the corners of her lips: "Ying'er, your father didn't know my identity, so there was nothing wrong with doing that, and you shouldn't blame him anymore."
She was not a person who cared about details. Now that Marquis Zhongyong was her elder, she was already satisfied to be treated with courtesy by an elder. There was no need to pursue the matter further.
"Okay, then I'll listen to Axuan." After saying that, Jiang Shaoying glared at Marquis Zhongyong.
The more the Loyal and Brave Marquis looked at Shen Jingxuan, the more satisfied he became: "Your name is A Xuan? How about I call you that from now on?"
He had always hoped that Jiang Shaoying could be like other girls, well-educated, well-behaved, and law-abiding, but this had long become a luxury.
Now that he saw Shen Jingxuan, for some reason, her every word and action made him very satisfied.
Shen Jingxuan said: "You are the elder, you should address me like this."
If it were someone else, she might refuse, but this is Jiang Shaoying's father, so the title doesn't seem that important.
"Ah Xuan, thank you for helping me with my injuries. You've worked hard."
Marquis Zhongyong looked at Jiang Shaoying and said, "Ying'er, ask the kitchen to prepare more lunch and let Xuan stay for dinner."
"Okay." Jiang Shaoying responded and went out to make arrangements.
Only Marquis Zhongyong and Shen Jingxuan were left in the room, and they sat in silence for a while.
Shen Jingxuan felt somewhat uncomfortable sitting there, and Marquis Zhongyong didn't know what to say for a moment.
After a long silence, the loyal and brave Marquis said, "Ah Xuan, is your mother okay?"
Shen Jingxuan looked at him suddenly: "Do you know my mother?"
Marquis Zhongyong suddenly asked, leaving Shen Jingxuan somewhat puzzled.
Her mother had not left the house since she followed her father back home. Why did Marquis Zhongyong mention her mother at this time?
"I have only heard of it, but I have never seen it."
The words of Marquis Zhongyong made Shen Jingxuan gradually feel relieved. It turned out that she was overthinking.
The room was silent for a moment, and Shen Jingxuan thought he would not speak again.
But the loyal and brave Marquis continued: "Can I be your father?"
After saying this, Shen Jingxuan suddenly stood up and looked at Marquis Zhongyong in surprise.
