It was 22 years after Emperor Jianwu ascension to the throne. New Year has passed, but the temperature was still cold. This winter was long and gloomy. The calendar already entered the second month, and the weather was still not getting any warmer.
Yesterday night was snowing again. Early in the morning, the whole capital city was covered in white, with a glimpse of the red roofs and green tiles from all kinds of magnificent buildings.
In the eastern part of the city, there was the Yichun Marquis manor. An old female servant dressed in a gray-brown coat hurriedly ran towards the Jinning courtyard. She strode across the doorstep and after briefly rested her hand at the pillar, she took a breath and shouted in panic, "Eldest young miss, bad news!"
A young servant girl with tightly knitted hairbun lifted the curtain. She looked to be around fifteen or sixteen years old, exactly the best age for a girl, but when she glared and raised her eyebrows, her imposing aura didn't lack even a bit momentum: "What are you doing, already so noisy at this hour. Don't you see our Miss is inside?"
"Sister Lian Qiao ah, this old servant has urgent news for young miss!" Granny Zeng yelled, then she hastily entered the room, "Miss, bad news!"
Eldest young miss rules were strict. Rough servant girls and the old female servants like granny Zeng only allowed to enter the outer yard area. Only second-class servant girls could enter the house, and the boudoir where young miss lived was restricted to first-class servant girls. Now Lian Qiao saw Granny Zeng tried to enter the house, she was so angry that she quickly blocked the door: "Impudent, don't you know the rules! Do you think you can enter the house at will!"
Lian Qiao was the first-class servant girl who also greatly trusted by young miss. In this courtyard, she was very respected. Granny Zeng usually didn't dare to cross this little firecracker. But don't know why, today she dare to fight Lian Qiao. She pushed the girl's arms and said, "Sister Lian Qiao, this old servant really has urgent news...."
"Lian Qiao."
Lian Qiao immediately paused when she heard the voice. Even the noisy granny Zeng calmed down and obediently knelt down on the door: "Eldest young miss, this old servant really has important thing to report."
The house interior was filled with lavish embroidered decoration, and also warm like in spring, truly the image of noble luxury. The boudoir was separated by an inner partition, blocking out outside gaze. After a while, a young servant girl dressed in a pale pinkish-purple coat came out and softly said, "Miss has given her permission. You may enter."
"Ah, yes!"
Granny Zeng scurried through the lavish room, then walked towards the lustrous partition. This was her first time entering eldest young miss' boudoir. All the beautiful and expensive decorations made her dizzy. Vaguely, she saw a beautiful silhouette in the middle of the room. Granny Zeng didn't dare to look directly at her and quickly knelt down: "Eldest young miss."
"Speak." Even just her silhouette, the young girl was already very beautiful. Now even her voice was like a jade bell. "What's happen?"
Granny Zeng suddenly felt indescribable strangeness. This matter, she just heard it a moment ago and was so surprised that her eyeballs almost popped out. Then without even minding the road still buried in snow, she ran back to report to eldest young miss. The news still didn't spread out, and miss wasn't clairvoyance. Moreover today she still didn't leave her courtyard yet, so she still didn't know the matter in the front courtyard yet.
But, from Miss's tone, she..... Granny Zeng suddenly had ridiculous thinking. How could she feel that miss already knew?
"Miss, Jingyong Marquis manor came to cancel the engagement!"
