Chapter 83: He cared deeply for you guys:

I also asked my maid Jia Ling to do so. "Jia Ling, you've been my maid since young. What I just said. I hope no one hears it," I muttered. Jia Ling curtseyed and nodded that she understood. I know she will do what I wish for her to do so I asked her to leave.

Because I'm a princess, there are even rules about how many maids I've. Usually, you'll be given two personal maids, four other maids and two older maids to help me with the rough work.

My other personal maid was Jia Wen. I gave all of my amidst their names. They all have the same surname in the hope they can treat each other like siblings. "Jia Wen, you're Tian You gege's people aren't you?" I asked as Jia Wen immediately kneeled and denied it. I quickly ask her to get up, I hated when people cringe at me. "It's ok. I chose you to be my maid because I already know you were his people. Also, a normal commoner couldn't know kung-fu. Gege told you to come and serve me because he wanted me to stay safe. I understand his concern, so I won't blame you. But please can you tell me where Tian You gege is?" I asked

I watched as Jia Wen debated for a while what to do finally she told me that Tian You gege was somewhere in Jiang Hu. It seems that she too didn't know his exact location. I nodded at her answer and thank her. She then continued to do her work.

"Jia Wen, what's your real name? I'll call you that from now on," I asked. "His Highness gave me the name Ah Wen. Your Highness gave me my surname," she replied. Oh yeah, I remember that a few days before my marriage, Tian You gave me this maid. He too advised me to call her Jia Wen.

"Do you hate gege for bringing you here?" I asked as she shook his head. "I'm an orphan. It was His Highness who saved. He taught me kung-fu. I am forever endeared to him. I'll never hate him," she replied earnestly.

"Do you hate his highness?" she asked me in retort. "I don't hate him yet I don't like him," I muttered. Memories of how close we were flashed in my brain. We were so close and happy. I don't remember us arguing. Even when Tian Yao came we were still so close. But it all changed when it was Tian Jing's fourth birthday. We both saw how her own mother treated her. Gege, perhaps was doing it out of pity but he slowly distanced himself away from me. I was only left with Tian Yao. Mother was dead and brother was slowly distancing himself from me. You could've imagined what I would feel as a kid.

"Your Highness, do be honest my lord cares for you a lot. I remember him telling me that your highness was a smart and sweet person," explained Jia Wen as she continued to tidy my stuff. "Your not wrong. Gege does care for me. He cares for all of his siblings. But I'm not the one he cares for the most," I signed softly. It's evident who Tian You gege cares for the most. "Your Highness, don't be disheartened. Both you and Tian Jing jun zhu have already married someone so you both have the love of your husbands. It will be alright. I'm sure when you give birth to a cute son, your in-laws will love you more," advised Jia Wen as I smiled and whispered "Hopefully,"...

Not long later we were all ready to leave, I had packed everything I need for the next few days. I hopped onto the carriage and prepared for the long journey home. Hu Chao Xing gestured for me to lean on him so I did so obediently. Soon, I fell asleep. When I got there it was almost dinner time.
