Xu Jiaqi smiled as she turned her head to look at Lin, who was anxious at the Miss' stubborn behavior. She had reported the case of her wanting to fight with the soldiers to Xie Yongrui, but the man did not prevent anything from happening and just told Lin to observe.
Truth be told, Lin was not too expectant on this new girl's arrival. She was nothing but a frail child who didn't seem to possess any major strengths. But the lord still treated her specially, so it made her wonder. The child was indeed smart, a lot smarter than her peers, but the estate was overflowing with smart people who also had the strength to execute their brilliant ideas.
Compared to them, Xu Jiaqi did seem lackluster, making her not that trusting. Not only that, one of her jobs was to observe this newcomer. The lord had appointed her to be one of the maid candidates because not only was she skillful at serving another, she used to be part of Xie Yongrui's elite troops.
