Transmigrated As My Former Uncle’s Sweetheart

There would usually be more farmsteads at the imperial holiday home.

The Emperor and Empress would bring palace maids along during their trips, which was why even when they were at the imperial holiday home, the maidservants stationed here were unable to get close to them.

The servants at the imperial holiday home were responsible for miscellaneous chores such as cleaning up.

These servants had been instructed to tidy up the courtyard where the Emperor and Empress would be staying after they suddenly arrived today.

They had just finished their work at this time.

A few of the maidservants were about to return to the courtyard allocated for the servants to rest.

As there were not many of them—and the compound was huge—each servant at the imperial holiday home had a room of their own, all of which were quite spacious.

Chu Jiu followed the maidservants into their courtyard.

Her eyes flickered sharply at the few people and her gaze finally fell on a slender maidservant.

Some of these servants were laborers and had thickset builds, but this maidservant was the only one who seemed different.

One could still make out her slender waist even though she was wearing a huge and rough dress, and she carried herself quite gracefully.

Chu Jiu tailed the maidservant and right before the maidservant could enter her room, Chu Jiu suddenly approached her and grabbed her by the wrist.

Startled, the maidservant whirled around.
Her eyes bulged wide and her expression changed at the sight of Chu Jiu.

She immediately lowered her head when she realized she had been found out.
She pulled her hand away forcefully and retreated a few steps back.

“Li Tong’er, what are you doing here?” Chi Jiu asked coldly.

She was sure Li Tong’er recognized her as well.

The maidservant said fearfully, “Respected Miss, I don’t understand what you’re saying.
Who is Li Tong’er? I don’t know her at all.”

Chu Jiu sneered.
Who was she trying to trick with such lousy acting?

However, Chu Jiu said nothing more and turned to leave.

The maidservant panicked when she saw this.

Afraid Chu Jiu would report her, she ran forward and stopped her.
She said in a low voice, “Respected Miss, may we have a chat?”

Chu Jiu was getting a little annoyed.
“What do you have to say that can’t be spoken out here?”

Li Tong’er could only clench her teeth when she saw Chu Jiu’s irked expression.
She lowered her voice further.
“If you can pretend you didn’t see me here, I will not forget this favor if I manage to make my wish come true.”
