Maid's Counterattack

Chapter 12 Expedition 1
Lan Yu's death is a heavy blow to both Zi Luo and Shuang Yue.The two were depressed for a long time, but since then the two have become closer and closer. In this deep house compound, having someone to encourage and comfort each other has become a kind of courage to live.

Until the summer solstice, the third wife was lazy, her body was very weak, and she drank medicine for a few days from time to time, and she didn't even go out much, just enjoying the flowers in the yard, and Master Zhao would also come to see her, just staying overnight less time.

"Hmph, I'm probably that fool. It's really a mistake to be too infatuated."

The third lady often said some inexplicable things to Hua.

Today, my wife was drinking tea in the gazebo, when suddenly a servant came to report.

"Report to Madam, the master has invited three young masters to the study, it seems that there is something more important."

"Yes, I see, you should step back first."

The third lady supported the hairpin on her head, leaning against the stone table to get up, Shuangyue hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

"Chui'er is going to make medicine, you two will accompany me to the study."

The third lady said lightly.

Zi Luo hurriedly stepped forward to support the other arm, and followed the third wife to Mr. Zhao's study.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he had a face-to-face meeting with the eldest lady.

"My sister is in good health recently."

The eldest lady said some caring words, but her tone was very blunt, and she even gritted her teeth.

"Hmph, don't worry about it."

The third lady gave her a sideways look and strode past, the hem of her skirt brushed against the eldest lady's instep.

"you."

The lady stared angrily, but she couldn't attack because she was in front of Mr. Zhao's house.

Ziluo glanced at Yazhu and Chuqing who were on both sides of the eldest lady, and his eyes collided with Chuqing, knowing each other, this is their unique way of greeting.

"Master, oh, why are you here today, is the master going to test some young masters?"

The third lady's voice was mellow, like a lark, and her eyes moved secretly.

"Why are you here, the news is well-informed."

Master Zhao frowned.

"Master, Qingxuan was at my place just now, seeing you hastily sent someone to invite you, wondering if there is something important."

The eldest lady stepped forward to explain.

"Well, you all sit down. The emperor notified each of our important ministers this morning to send a son to the border to stay for a year. He said he represented him to boost the morale of the army. Hmph!"

Master Zhao snorted coldly, as if dissatisfied with the emperor's arrangement.

"Then, there are only three sons in our family, and Qingxuan himself still has a job, so he is very busy."

The eldest lady spoke unhurriedly, staring at Mr. Zhao as she spoke, not letting go of his expression.

"Hmph, what sister means is that our Qingjun is idle, master, you love Qingjun the most, and you won't think about letting him go so far away, cough cough."

After finishing speaking, the third lady covered her mouth and coughed a few times.

"mother."

Qingjun shouted in a low voice, and tugged on the third lady's sleeve.

Master Zhao didn't speak, and everyone else looked at me, and I saw you remained silent. I only saw Master Zhao took a sip of tea and glanced at Qingwen, the second son who didn't have a mother.

"Father, my son is willing to go."

With a slender body and a fair face, he made a firm voice.

As soon as these words came out, Zi Luo hurriedly peeked at Chu Qing, her expression changed drastically, and she frowned at the second young master.

"Well, you are thinner and weaker. You only concentrate on poetry and books on weekdays. It's good to exercise this time."

Master Zhao stretched his wrinkles, as if he was satisfied with the result.

"Since Qingwen has been decided to go, you all step back, Qingwen, you are ready to set off tomorrow."

Mr. Zhao took out a book in front of the bookshelf and started to read, and the others retreated wisely.

Qingwen glanced at Chuqing with eyes full of apology, but saw that Chuqing's eyes were slightly red, trying to hold back tears.

When Zi Luo left with the third lady, she bumped into Chu Qing lightly, and when she saw the second young master standing up, she knew what was going on, her heart sank, and she felt sorry for Chu Qing.However, a child without a mother who takes good care of him can only learn to be strong on his own.

"Mother, walk slowly, your body is just getting better."

The third son's voice pulled Zi Luo out of his sadness.

"You, as long as you don't let my mother worry about it, I will guide you about marriage anytime."

The third lady couldn't hide her loving mother's expression as she looked at Qingjun.

"Mother, you should take good care of your body first."

As he spoke, Qingjun took over from Ziluo to support the third lady, looked at Ziluo, and raised the corners of his mouth.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Zi Luo's back immediately. What kind of eyes are these?

When he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he saw that Zhui'er came back with the medicine box, and the slightly bitter smell rushed into everyone's noses, Qingjun frowned slightly, but the third lady was used to it.

"Mother, I'll send you some pots of good flowers some other day, so as to cover up the bitterness."

Qingjun looked very well-behaved at this time, but turned to Ziluo with a wicked smile.

Zi Luo hurriedly lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him, her heart was pounding suddenly, and then she woke up suddenly, Chu Qing's original words sounded again, be careful of the third son, you will be beaten out of the house with a random stick.

After Qingjun had lunch at the third lady's place, he followed Ziluo who was about to go out to fetch water, and left the hospital.

"Ziluo, Shuangyue is going to pick up the meal. After you fetch the water, put it in the yard first, then go back to eat."

Zhui'er's voice came from behind.

Zi Luo only wanted someone to go with him, and now it was only her and the third son left, and she began to get nervous again.

"Why are you nervous, am I that scary?"

Qingjun said in a strange way, Ziluo took a deep breath and quickened her pace. The place where they fetched water was sealed because of Lan Yu's incident, so she had to go a little farther to fetch water.

"Where is the young master going, the place where I go to fetch water and the place where the young master lives are not on the same road!"

Ziluo asked tentatively.

"Hmph, I'll go wherever you go!"

Qingjun looked at Ziluo with more interest.

"If the madam knows that the young master is joking with a servant, she will be angry. The madam's health has just improved, so she must not get angry."

Zi Luo secretly observed his expression while talking cautiously.

"What a smart girl, I won't tease you today, I have something else to do."

After speaking, he turned and left, and Ziluo also heaved a sigh of relief.

When she was about to get to the water fetching place, she could faintly hear crying. Curiosity drove her to look around, but she saw a familiar figure, it was Chuqing.

Ziluo hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but stepped forward. It was in a row of groves against the wall, with a large piece of long grass growing, and there was a well not far to the right.

"Chuqing."

Zi Luo's voice was very small and soft, afraid of scaring her.

Chu Qing was stunned, slowly raised her head, saw Zi Luo, and hugged Zi Luo with an ah, no longer sobbing softly, but tears poured down like rain, as if she had suffered a great grievance and was heartbroken.

　Looking forward to your support! !
