Maid's Counterattack

Chapter 18
"Two moons."

Zi Luo, who delivered the cloth to the tailor shop, sneaked around to the third lady's yard.

"Ziluo? Why are you here?"

Surprised and delighted, Shuangyue grabs Ziluo's hand.

"I have something to report to the third lady."

Zi Luo looked around and said.

"Hey, there is movement over there."

Biyue asked in a low voice.

"Ah."

Ziluo nodded slightly.

"Come in with me."

After confirming that there was no one around, Shuangyue led Ziluo into the yard.

Looking at the flowers all over the courtyard, Zi Luo's thoughts drifted a little, recalling every bit of what he had been here, he couldn't help blurring his vision.

"My servant, Zi Luo, has seen Madam."

Ziluo knelt down and kowtowed.

"What! What's going on over there?"

The third lady who had been arranging the flowers in the ceramic vase for a long time said this.

"Ma'am, the eldest lady gave Fang Xin a small box this morning and asked her to hand it over to the master."

Ziluo was a little nervous.

"Really? Why didn't she give it herself, and let that bitch do it."

The third lady frowned slightly in doubt.

"The eldest lady also said that she did some business for the eldest son a few days ago, which made the master unhappy, and the slaves stood outside the door and didn't listen too seriously."

The room was very quiet. Although Ziluo's voice was very low, everyone could hear him clearly.

"hateful."

The third lady slapped the table suddenly, making Zi Luo tremble in fright.

"Ah, ma'am."

The third lady stood up abruptly and stepped forward to give Ziluo a slap.

"Don't think I don't know that you took what that bitch gave me. Can people believe what you said? Maybe it's a trap."

The third lady became more and more excited as she spoke, and couldn't help raising her hands again.

"Ma'am, I think it's better to listen to Zi Luo to finish."

Zhui'er persuaded with a worried face.

"Okay, what else to explain, say."

The third lady put down her raised hand and stared at the trembling Zi Luo.

"Ma'am, Zi Luo never betrayed Madam. Fang Xin insisted on giving me something, and I couldn't refuse, so I accepted it. The servant swears that what he heard is true. If Madam doesn't believe the slave, just drive the slave out." government."

Zi Luo finished speaking in one breath and kowtowed several times.

"Okay, I'll trust you again this time, go back."

After feeling suffocated for a long time, the third lady said something lightly, and sat in front of the vanity mirror to arrange the hairpins on her hair.

Zhui'er looked at Zi Luo comforting her with his eyes, Zi Luo nodded slightly to her, bent over and kowtowed, and left tremblingly.

After leaving the third lady's courtyard, the blood in Zi Luo's body began to boil again, even breaking through the top of her head. She never expected such an ending.

When she returned to the door of Yuexiuxuan, she tiptoed, stretched her head to look inside, and found no one, she strode into her room, took out the mirror and powder, and wiped it on her face fiercely, how could she Let Fang Xin see the red marks on her face.

At this time, Zi Luo finally calmed down, she thought and thought, and felt that there was only one possibility, that it must be that Canruo or Su Die were bought by the third wife to watch her.

Without thinking about it, she hurried out after tidying up, and started to find some work in the yard.

"Ziluo, you're back."

Fang Xin's voice reached Zi Luo's ears, and Zi Luo's heart beat suddenly.

"Yes, ma'am, I have delivered the fabric, and I can pick it up tomorrow."

Zi Luo replied respectfully, and secretly glanced at Can Ruo and Su Die who were behind Fang Xin.

"I can pick it up tomorrow. It's pretty fast. I don't have anything to do. I want to embroider a purse for the master."

Ziluo helped Fang Xin into the house.

"The master must be very happy to see the purse from his wife."

Ziluo continued talking.

Flattering doesn't seem to work very well for Fang Xin. She is not as happy with her appearance as the third lady, and she always maintains a faint smile without any change.

"Okay, go and do other things, I don't need your service anymore."

After finishing the embroidery, Fang Xin sent Zi Luo out.

"Chan Ruo, Su Die, please come here and do me a favor."

Seeing the two girls weeding in the yard, Zi Luo whispered to them.

"Sister Ziluo, what's the matter, why are you looking at us like this?"

Canruo, who followed Ziluo to the outside of the courtyard, asked with a puzzled face.

"The third lady said that she is not satisfied with what you have done, and she will beat you out of the house with sticks."

Ziluo stared at them with the most vicious eyes.

"You, what are you talking about? I don't understand why the third lady beat us out of the house."

Can Ruo faltered and said.

"If you pretend to be confused again, wait for the third lady to punish you."

Ziluo gritted her teeth.

"Sister Ziluo, please tell me something, my father is seriously ill and really needs money."

Canruo knelt down and pulled Ziluo by the corner of her clothes, her voice choked with sobs.

"Canruo."

Su Die glanced at Ziluo, then at Canruo and knelt down.

"Sister Ziluo, you have a lot of adults, please forgive Canruo this time."

Su Die begged.

"Okay, you guys go back to work. I know in my heart that the third lady is moody, so don't do things for the third lady next time. No matter what, if this happens again, I will tell the fourth lady that we should not think about it."

After Zi Luo finished speaking, she entered the courtyard without waiting for their reply.

Although Ziluo was calm on the surface, his heart was in a state of ups and downs, and there was always an uneasy voice echoing in his heart.

Tonight, Mr. Zhao came to Yuexiuxuan to spend the night again. After sending Canruo and Sudie away, Ziluo quietly walked outside the main house door and became an eavesdropper again. She never thought that she would do such a bad thing. A glorious thing, but the world is unpredictable, and she can only play by ear, all in order to survive this life.

"Master, the third madam actually gave me the jewelry that the eldest madam gave her. Why did no one ask for it before giving it to me!"

Ziluo held her breath and listened to the blushing conversation, and finally heard a slightly normal sentence.

"Hehe, then you can reward the servant, and I will give you a better one another day."

Master Zhao's voice was very gentle, a kind of tenderness Zi Luo had never heard before.

"Well, don't worry about the jewelry or anything else, we're going to get down to business now."

When Ziluo heard this, she quietly went back to her room. After thinking about it, she always felt that something was wrong. In the end, she only felt a splitting headache and fell asleep in a chaotic state.

In the dream, she looked like a child, and she was surrounded by her mother asking for apples. Her mother patted her head and gave her one. Suddenly, her aunt's face appeared, and she took away her apples roughly, shouting: "What do you want to eat?" Eat, do you deserve it?She started crying, and then she was slapped again, which made her dizzy, and when she stopped crying, she saw a blurry smiling face, and she couldn't tell who it was.

Suddenly she sat up in shock, the sky was already dawn, she got off the bed in a jiffy, and after a while, she recalled that Mr. Zhao said that he didn't go to court today, so he didn't have to get up too early.

　Hope everyone likes it! !
