Maid's Counterattack

Chapter 13 Expedition 2
"Chuqing, since you can't change anything, just pray for a safe return."

Ziluo comforted her in a low voice, but looked firmly into the distance. They had to face the reality, and it was useless to be sad about things that could not be changed. They just tried their best and listened to the destiny.

Chuqing lost her mind for a moment, suddenly opened her eyes wide, and gently pushed Ziluo away.

"You, you, you know about my son and I."

Chuqing's chest heaved violently due to shortness of breath.

"Chuqing, I also saw you meeting by chance, I'm sorry."

Ziluo turned her head slightly, not looking directly at Chuqing, feeling a little guilty for having glimpsed someone else's secret.

"Forget it, it's a good thing that someone can tell what's on their mind. The pain of concealing it is really hard."

Chuqing struggled for a while, and finally smiled wryly as if relieved, and took Ziluo's hand, there seemed to be a light of hope in her tear-filled eyes.

"Chuqing, don't cry, it would be bad if others found out, I will definitely keep it a secret."

Ziluo took out a handkerchief to wipe away Chuqing's tears.

"You go back to eat first, and think of a way to contact the young master in the afternoon, at least to meet again."

Ziluo patted her and looked at her with sincere eyes.

Chuqing nodded slowly, as if she had exhausted all her strength.

Zi Luo picked up the bucket and strode towards the well. While running, she turned her head and waved to Chu Qing. Chu Qing finally burst into laughter, waved to Zi Luo and turned to leave. Zi Luo also let go of her hanging heart Yes, as long as there is still hope, yes, she must help Chuqing, as if what happened to Chuqing is a glimmer of light in her dark future life.

After lunch, Ziluo discussed with Chuqing the plan to meet the second young master while delivering the food box.

"Don't worry, you just need to arrive at the place we agreed on time."

Ziluo patted Chuqing's arm, waved to her and left. Her task was to find the right time to inform the second young master of the meeting between Chuqing and Chuqing after dinner.

The sun shines on the body, the warm wind blows on the face, drying the sweaty clothes on the body, but it is the culprit that causes the clothes to be soaked, just like this love, which makes people happy and painful.

Ziluo took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and looked in the direction of the room. The third lady was drinking tea in the room, trying on a bunch of pearl hairpins sent by Mr. Zhao in front of the mirror, and Zhui'er was fanning her Fanzi, the sun is at its strongest at this time, Ziluo and Shuangyue are weeding in the yard, even though they are wearing straw hats, they can still feel the scorching heat of the sun.

"Mom, I'm here."

Ms. Zhao Xingxue's silver bell-like laughter injected a breath of fresh air into the hot summer.

The third lady came out of the house slowly, followed by Zhui'er carrying a tray.

"You girl, why are you here now?"

The third lady said reproachful words, but looked at her with loving eyes.

"I, I slept for a while and overslept. Is my mother's health better?"

Zhao Xingxue hurriedly stepped forward to support the third lady, and walked towards the gazebo.

"Don't change the subject, did you go to your second brother?"

The words suddenly became a little harsh.

"Mother, the second brother is about to go to the frontier, Xingxue doesn't know when he will hear the sound of the second brother's flute again."

Xingxue's voice became smaller and smaller.

"Hmph, what's so good about it, he's clean after he's gone."

Seeing that his mother was angry, Zhao Xingxue shrank her neck and took a snack from the tray and put it in her mouth.

"Mother, I saw my sister-in-law at noon, she looks a little unhappy."

Zhao Xingxue was talking while eating.

"Girls who are just married miss their parents."

The third lady carelessly cut off flower branches and put them in ceramic bottles.

It wasn't until the third lady had dinner that Ziluo and Shuangyue finished their work in the garden, their backs ached, and they felt dizzy.

Fortunately, the third lady was happy to eat a few extra pieces of snacks in the afternoon, so she ate a few bites at night and let them go back to rest.

Ziluo yawned several times after dinner, and Shuangyue also washed up early to go to bed, when suddenly melodious music came, ups and downs, beautiful and melodious, intoxicating.

"Shuangyue, who is blowing the flute?"

Ziluo asked in a daze.

"It's the second son. He used to play it every now and then. His residence is not far from our place. Once he blows, we can hear it. Once he leaves, we can't hear it for a long time."

Shuangyue let out a sigh of regret, then yawned a lot, and walked towards the back room.

But Ziluo suddenly got a witty thought, the appointed time is almost here, will they keep the appointment?Although she was very tired today, her curiosity still drove her to take a look, so she took a look at Shuangyue who was already lying on the bed, yelled that she had a stomachache and wanted to go to the toilet, and went out, knowing that Shuangyue would be gone soon. Asleep, she is also very tired today.

The silver-like light of the moon shrouded the entire Zhao Mansion, like a dream version, even the flowers and plants were sleeping soundly in it.

Ziluo held up her skirt to speed up her pace, recalling that after parting from Chuqing in the afternoon, she returned the food box, then sneaked to the place where the second son lived, she saw the servant who was serving the second son, and handed him a wooden box , Said it was a gift from the third wife before he left, but in fact the box contained a pebble with a note pressed underneath it.

Zi Luo watched the boy walk in, and then saw Zhao Xingxue coming, thinking about it, she was not sure if the second son had seen the note.

Ziluo's heart was beating so fast, it would be a disaster if he didn't see it.

"He looks like a smart guy, and he will definitely read it."

Ziluo was talking to himself, but his heart was still not at ease.

Until she arrived at the place where they met for the first time, she was extremely nervous, only Chuqing was there looking around, Ziluo stood in the dark, looking around, suddenly a figure passed by, Chuqing's expression There were obvious changes, and the tears hanging on his face reflected pearly luster under the moonlight.

"Son."

After a long time, Chuqing's affectionate voice reached Ziluo's ears.

"Chuqing, I'm sorry."

The second son sighed, and hugged Chu Qing into his arms.

"You don't need to apologize, you're not wrong, stay here, it's better to go out."

Chuqing took out a purse and stuffed it into the second young master's hand.

"Can we wait until the day we are together? Just forget about me."

Chuqing and Ziluo were astonished by the second son's words.

"Young master, I forgot..."

Chu Qing was speechless for a while, pushed the second young master away, and only looked up at him slightly.

Ziluo's heart tightened, and she was about to rush out, but suddenly she heard Chuqing speak.

"My lord, don't say those frustrating words. The days with you are the happiest time for me. How can I forget how you told me to forget?"

Chu Qing burst into tears, which made people feel moved.

"Chuqing."

The second young master's handsome face looked white against the moonlight, and he was probably also very sad.

"Young Master, I've already made up my mind. I will definitely wait for you to come back, unless, unless I am no longer alive."

Tears filled Chuqing's eyes, and she couldn't see her expression clearly.

"Chuqing don't talk nonsense, I, I will definitely not let you down."

The hesitant Second Young Master finally said these words.

Zi Luo let out a long sigh of relief, the meeting was finally not in vain.

　Hope everyone likes it! !
