Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 132
It rained heavily in Shengjing City for three consecutive days, when the rain cleared, the Zhao family's carriage suddenly stopped in front of Prince Rui's Mansion.

The concierge took a cautious look, and saw a woman in a stone-green dress getting off the carriage, followed by an older maid.

The visitor handed over the post very politely, and the concierge opened it to see that it was the Zhao family's aunt Zheng who came!
The servant was stunned for a moment, why did Aunt Zhao come to Xiangfu alone?
The servant girl seemed to see the boy's doubts, she came forward and bowed, and said softly:
"My little brother, our aunt is the biological mother of the second-bedroom eldest young mistress..."

As soon as the servant heard this, he welcomed him in immediately, and told him to rush to the Qiutang courtyard to report to the young mistress, Mrs. Zhao.

Mrs. Zhao was resting under the flower gallery, directing his servants to tend the flowers and plants. When he heard the news, he was completely dumbfounded!
"What did you say? My aunt is here?"

The boy outside the door responded with a smile.

Mrs. Zhao still couldn't believe it, so she dropped the magnolia seedling in her hand, lifted the corner of her skirt and went outside.

Xiangling hurriedly followed behind, while persuading Zhao Shi to step carefully, while holding an umbrella for her, for fear that the remaining rain on the branches and leaves would make Zhao Shi catch a cold.

Mrs. Zhao had just left the Qiutang Courtyard, and before she reached the gatehouse, she saw Aunt Zheng waiting at the bottom of the corridor with a thrush from a distance, Mrs. Zhao's footsteps stopped suddenly, and her eyes immediately became moist.

Aunt Zheng also saw Mrs. Zhao who came out in person, her nose was sore, and tears fell down her cheeks.

Holding the corner of her skirt, she hurried forward, hugged Mrs. Zhao in her arms, and called Mrs. Zhao's boudoir name over and over again:
"Yuanzhen...no! Mistress! You...how can you come in person?"

"It's only rained outside here, and the ground is very slippery... What if you fall?"

"You are now the wife of the main house, how can you come out to meet an aunt in person..."

Aunt Zheng was both surprised and happy, she was very flustered, she was talking in a rambling manner, for fear of losing face to Mrs Zhao in front of the Li family.

Mrs. Zhao lay in her arms, tears streaming uncontrollably. After a while, she took Aunt Zheng's hand and sniffed. Weng said:
"Why is aunt here? Does mother know?"

Aunt Zheng paused slightly when she heard the words, she exchanged a glance with Huamei, and then looked at Mrs. Zhao in surprise:

"Didn't you ask Madam for mercy before allowing me to serve you?"

Mrs. Zhao was stunned, remembering how stern she was with Nanny Gui that day, she almost broke up with her aunt, how could she intercede with her?

When Aunt Zheng saw that Mrs. Zhao was clearly ignorant, her heart trembled, and she whispered to Mrs. Zhao with a pale face:
"Could it be...Could it be that Madam has some other thoughts..."

"Auntie, it doesn't matter... I can't implicate you! No... I... I'll go back to the house..."

"Auntie!"

Mrs. Zhao squeezed Aunt Zheng's hand tightly, and tears fell down again.

It has been more than half a year since she got married, and when she returned home, she quietly bumped into Aunt Zheng, and didn't even say a few words... We finally met today, how could we just watch her go?

"Auntie, don't panic..."

Mrs. Zhao suddenly remembered that Li Taiwei had beaten Nanny Gui with the board that day, so she quickly put away her tears and said to Aunt Zheng:
"Since my aunt has come, please come and sit in my room first. I'll ask someone to ask the Princess. This matter may have been arranged by the Princess..."

Aunt Zheng's eyes lit up when she heard this, and when Fang was about to speak, Huamei stepped forward to salute, and said:
"Auntie, this is not the place to talk, Auntie should go back to the house first and then talk to the young mistress..."

Aunt Zheng hurriedly nodded in agreement, and helped Mrs. Zhao back to Qiutang Courtyard.

This Prince Rui's residence is magnificent and magnificent, it is as big as Zhao's residence three times!

Aunt Zheng followed Mrs. Zhao into Qinglvju, her eyes were almost blurred!

Mrs. Zhao pulled her into the bedroom, and ordered Xiangling to go to Fangfei Garden to find out the situation.

Aunt Zheng and Huamei looked at the precious decorations in Zhao's house, and their faces showed joy.

"Ever since I heard that your mother-in-law committed a crime, I have been uneasy..."

"I saw that the servants in the mansion respect you very much today. As long as you live a comfortable life in Li's house, my aunt will be beaten to death by my wife tomorrow... and you can close your eyes..."

"Auntie! What is Auntie talking about?"

Zhao's eyes turned red again when she heard the words,
"Although our second bedroom is not as good as before, the relationship between the old lady and the third bedroom is the same as before. Even if Nanny Gui came to make things difficult that day, it was the princess who personally took the initiative to make decisions for me..."

Speaking of Nanny Gui, Zhao said worriedly:
"Auntie, Nanny Gui was beaten that day, did Madam take it out on you?"

Aunt Zheng shook her head, she was also very puzzled, and said:
"That day, together with Huamei, I asked Madam to lock her into the firewood room, and I didn't hear about Nanny Gui's beating until the next afternoon when I was released..."

"But I don't know why... Madam has never punished me since then, even eating and dressing as usual..."

"Later, I asked Huamei to go out and inquire quietly, and I heard that Madam Gui fell off Nanny Gui's carriage and hurt her leg. In the past few days, several imperial physicians have been seen in the mansion one after another..."

"It's not bright today, a maid came to Madam's courtyard, and told Huamei to pack some clothes, and asked me to come to Xiang's mansion to serve you..."

Aunt Zheng was still in a daze at this moment, she never dreamed that she would be able to cross the threshold of the Zhao family again in this life, and even go to Yuanzhen's house to have a look...

"Ma'am hurt your leg?"

Zhao couldn't hide her surprise on her face.

"Could it be because...she couldn't spare her hands to make trouble?"

Huamei pondered for a while before she dared to step forward and said:
"Eldest young mistress, the servant girl doesn't look like..."

"It's just that Madam injured her leg and foot, and the eldest son is still in the house! If Madam insists on making a scene, how can this matter be easily exposed?"

"Besides, madam didn't make things difficult for my aunt, she specially prepared a carriage today and asked someone to take us to Li's house...Before leaving, Tao Hong who was beside madam was very polite to her servants and aunt..."

Then this thing is really weird!

Mrs. Zhao thought, although she slapped Nanny Gui that day and directly broke face with Mrs. Zhao, but with her aunt's wrist, even if she spared Aunt Zheng, she would never have any kindness towards her. Come on, it's even more impossible to ask someone to send Aunt Zheng to Li's house!

Then...then it can only be the princess...

It must have been something the princess did that made Mrs. Zhao so afraid!
Sure enough, Xiangling ran all the way in from the outside, opened the curtain, and said with a happy face:

"Young Mistress! The Princess just said that Aunt Zheng can live here with peace of mind, as long as she wants!"

The eyes of the three people in the room lit up all at once!

Mrs. Zhao couldn't hide her joy immediately, she stood up and said excitedly:

"Did the princess say anything else?"

Xiangling thought for a while and said:
"The princess also said to tell the eldest grandma to raise her baby with peace of mind, and said that Mrs. Zhao is a sensible person, and she would never come to her door because of a tricky slave! She also said that Mrs. Zhao can send her aunt here today, which is enough to show her virtuousness and generosity! "

When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she laughed out loud.
