Maid's Counterattack

Chapter 11 Miscarriage 2
Lan Yu didn't come back from the third lady until the dinner was over.

"Are you tired? Have you eaten? How is the third lady?"

Shuangyue stepped forward and asked several questions in succession.

"I ate there. The third lady drank the medicine and rested. I want to visit my mother. I'll take the food box over there."

After Lan Yu finished speaking in one breath, she took the food box and left in a hurry.

Ziluo seemed to recall that Chuqing had told her that Lan Yu's mother worked in the kitchen and was brought to the Zhao Mansion when Lan Yu was very young, so she came earlier than Zhui'er.

"Why isn't she the third lady's personal maid?"

Ziluo closed the door and chatted with Shuangyue.

"Oh, when she came here, Zhui'er was already the third lady's personal servant girl, and she was originally from the second lady's side."

Even though the door was closed, Shuangyue still said in a very small voice.

"Second lady? She's the second son's mother."

Zi Luo was surprised, and Shuangyue hurriedly put a finger in front of her mouth and hissed.

"Keep your voice down, I also heard from others. At the beginning, Lan Yuniang served in front of the second lady. She grew up with the second lady. The second lady has been childless for a long time, and she is also very good to her. After years of physical recuperation Finally conceived a child, but died of illness a year after giving birth, what a pitiful person.”

Shuangyue shook her head while talking, lamenting the misfortune of the second lady.

Zi Luo also sighed, frowned, looked at the closed double doors, and suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"Don't talk about this sad thing, you'd better go to bed early, there will be some busy work tomorrow."

Shuangyue yawned, got up, took the washbasin and opened the door to wash in the yard.

Zi Luo also felt that thinking about these things was a headache, so he simply went to sleep. For servants like them, only sleep can relax them for a short time, but they are afraid that they will have a sleepless night.

"Ziluo, wake up."

Ziluo was woken up by Shuangyue. Last night she had short-lived insomnia. She fell asleep peacefully when Lan Yu came back and fell asleep. Shuangyue called her, she really didn't want to wake up.

"Something has happened. Just now I ran into Yun'er who came back to pick up things. She said that the master was furious and asked the madam to contemplate for a month behind closed doors."

Shuangyue whispered next to Ziluo's ear, the breath in her mouth made her ears itch, she sat up in surprise, and the drowsiness was swept away.

Ziluo put on her clothes and walked around the screen, and saw that Lanyu had already set breakfast on the table, because they had to serve his wife, they had to get up and eat breakfast when the sky was getting dark.

Ziluo felt that today's breakfast was a little different from usual, the pace of eating became faster, and the atmosphere was inexplicably depressing.

"I don't know how the third lady is doing?"

Shuangyue was the first to speak to break the silent air.

"Go, you will know."

Lan Yu kept chopping her chopsticks back, Zi Luo wanted to speak several times but didn't know what to say.

This time the breakfast ended earlier than usual, the three of them finished their makeup and clothes in front of the mirror, and then went out of the house one by one. Madam closed the door and thought about what happened. Could it be that Madam caused the miscarriage of the third lady? Zi Luo always felt that this matter was not easy.

When they walked into the garden of the third lady, they felt the terror of silence again. It was almost summer, part of the flowering period ended and began to wither, and part of the flowering period began to bloom one by one. Ziluo guessed that today's work was probably cleaning up. Those withered flowers.

When walking across the yard to the door of the house, Zi Luo hesitated for a moment, her heartbeat quickened. The third wife must be in a bad mood after losing her child, and she wondered if she would take it out on them.

Shuangyue probably guessed what she was thinking, and patted her on the back lightly, comforting her wordlessly.

"You still have the face."

The third lady's voice pierced the hearts of the three of them unhurriedly, Zi Luo and Shuangyue looked at each other until they saw the third lady glance at Lan Yu.

There was such a moment of silence, the three of them lowered their heads, breathing rapidly, just peeking at the third lady.She was half lying on the bed, and Zhui'er was half sitting on the edge of the bed feeding her porridge.

"I thought you were going to commit suicide in fear of crime."

The third lady said something inexplicably again, and Zi Luo could even feel Lan Yu trembling beside her.

"I found a medicine that shouldn't appear in my medicine. You went to cook the medicine yesterday."

As soon as the third lady said this, Ziluo and Shuangyue couldn't help staring at Lanyu with wide eyes.

"It's not me, I didn't take the medicine."

Lan Yu knelt down with a plop, tears streaming from her eyes.

"Hmph, I've already sent someone to investigate, only you have the best chance, and..."

The third lady paused suddenly, then continued.

"Did you collude with the eldest lady to put a medicine in one of the floor tiles under my bed, which can make people die after smelling it for a long time?"

The third lady's eyes suddenly became sharp.

"No, it's not me. I didn't collude with the eldest lady, and I don't know any poison."

Lan Yu's face turned pale, she bent down on the ground and didn't dare to move, only the trembling of her back when she sobbed.

"The master has already punished the eldest lady, and I will deal with you. Come, someone, pull this bitch out and stick him to death."

The voice of the third lady increased in vain.

"Ma'am, please forgive me, I'm not a slave, madam."

Lan Yu cried hoarsely.Someone had already come in and held her arms.

"I know that you were raised by the second wife. I had a quarrel with her. You probably hated me. Maybe you think I caused her death. Please wake up. She died of illness and has nothing to do with me. I was too kind to let you stay with me, and I don't want you to avenge your kindness."

The third lady seemed a little tired after talking so much, she put one hand on her chest, Zhui'er brought a glass of water to her, and the third lady took a sip.

"Ma'am, you really wronged me."

Lan Yu only said this sentence and suddenly fell silent, and was dragged out.

The room fell silent again.

"You two go clean the garden first."

Zhui'er said with a straight face that she was probably in a bad mood too.

"Yes."

Ziluo and Shuangyue were still in shock, and saluted stiffly.

"Report to Madam, Lan Yu committed suicide by jumping into a well."

Ziluo and Shuangyue, who had just exited the house, brushed past the person reporting, and the person trotted into the house while shouting.

Ziluo and Shuangyue glanced at each other, and both saw each other's frightened and unbelievable expressions.It wasn't until the man withdrew from the house that the two came back to their senses.

For the rest of the time, Zi Luo was in a state of absent-mindedness, thinking about what she saw that day while working.

That box, the box that Ziluo found in the floor tiles under the bed when cleaning the floor on the first day, it turned out that there was such a dangerous thing in there, just now the third lady put it in front of Lan Yu, and Ziluo became nervous after taking a look at it stand up.

Lan Yu, Lan Yu faintly appeared in Zi Luo's heart, suddenly shed a tear, and hurriedly wiped it away with his sleeve.
