Maid's Counterattack

Chapter 2 Ziluo meets the third wife
After Zhui'er finished talking about what she needed to do on weekdays, she then briefly introduced the situation in the house.

"The master now has two wives, the first lady, and the third lady. Before that, the second lady passed away due to illness a year after giving birth to a child. The eldest lady had a son named Zhao Qingxuan and a daughter named Zhao Yulin. They were married long ago. The wife also gave birth to a son named Zhao Qingwen, and the third wife has a son and a daughter named Zhao Qingjun and Zhao Xingxue."

Zhui'er took a sip of tea and stood up, took out a long light green silk dress from her bag and handed it to her.

"Now go and change your clothes and follow me to see the third lady."

Ziluo retreated behind the screen to change clothes, then followed Zhui'er out the door.

"In short, you need to be quicker in your hands and feet, and smarter in your mind."

Zhui'er was still telling Zi Luo while walking.

Sure enough, as the housekeeper said, their residence was very close to the place where the wife lived. When they went out, they walked around a small pavilion and passed through a short corridor. The third lady's other courtyard appeared in front of them.

The third lady loves flowers, and when she stood outside the door, she could see the courtyard was full of purples and reds, and could smell the intoxicating fragrance of flowers.

Ziluo was a little nervous, Zhui'er had already walked into the yard, and she was still looking in at the door.

"Don't be afraid, I'm still here." Zhui'er smiled.

Ziluo nodded and quickened his pace. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw peonies as big as bowls, elegant and luxurious, and then there were pure lilies, and then there were gorgeous rhododendrons, dotted with winter jasmine flowers like stars .

Zi Luo couldn't help but marvel in his heart, and was also full of curiosity about the third lady.

A maid who was sprinkling water saw Zhui'er and bowed to her.

"This is Shuangyue, and this is Ziluo, the new arrival to serve Madam."

Zhui'er introduced each other, and the two also bowed to each other, and walked into the room one after the other without staying too long.

The sun was just right at this moment, and the room was brightly lit. Because of nervousness, Zi Luo looked down at Zhui'er's heels, and moved forward with small small steps.

"Ma'am, this is the new maid named Zi Luo."

Hearing Zhui'er's words, Zi Luo hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

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

"Head up."

The lazy voice came to her ears, Zi Luo straightened her back and slowly raised her head, only to find that the third lady was sitting in front of the dressing table with her back facing her. There was a bronze mirror on the dressing table, and the lady was raising her hand, adjusting her hair. The position of the hairpin.

Zi Luo looked at her face in the mirror as if she had lost her soul. She has a melon-seeded face, willow-leaf eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, long and slightly upturned eyelashes, a slender nose bridge, and slightly thick lips. The peonies in the vases are not as charming as hers.

"Well, this girl looks good, work hard, and I won't treat you badly."

After speaking, he casually touched a lily silver hairpin in the jewelry box and threw it in front of her, then got up, and Zhui'er hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

"Mrs. Xie, this servant will definitely serve Madam well."

After kowtowing, Zi Luo stood up, and heard Zhui'er call out Lan Yu, and then she noticed that there was a servant girl in the room just now, she was taking a rag to wipe the floating dust on the cabinet, and now she was walking this way.

"I'm Lan Yu, here you are, let's clean the house first."

Zi Luo took the rag from Lan Yu's hand and got busy with work.

"Ma'am, this is a cloth gifted by the Queen Mother, and the Master ordered me to bring it."

At the same time as he heard the voice, he saw the big housekeeper leading a maid to salute the third lady. The maid held two rolls of cloth between her arms, one was dark purple and the other was dark green.

"Did you go to Da Madam's first?"

There was some anger in the third lady's voice.

"Yes, the eldest lady said that with the beauty of the third lady, it doesn't matter if you don't need those gorgeous colors."

With a sound of "touch", the ceramic shards of the teacup fell to Ziluo's feet.Ziluo shivered violently, and almost dropped the rag.Looking at Lan Yu next to her, she didn't have the slightest fear, and took a broom to clean up the debris on the ground.

"Hmph, she is old and pale, she should dress up, but I'm afraid that such a good color will be wasted."

There was a moment of silence in the room.

"Let's put it down." The third lady was playing with the flowers on the windowsill, as if she was talking to the flowers.

"Yes." The butler ordered the maid to pass the cloth to Zhui'er, then saluted and left.

"Chui'er, take it to make clothes according to the size of Da Furen another day."

"Yes, ma'am."

Ziluo's heart was beating violently, she just worked in a muffled voice, and didn't even dare to look over there.

It wasn't until the old lady who delivered food in the kitchen came in with a food box, and Lan Yu called her and Shuangyue to serve his wife's meal together, did she look up at the third lady, who was wearing a light pink gold silk embroidered skirt and a peony embellished with gemstones on her head The golden hairpin, and the hair bun is loosely tied behind the head, giving people the impression that it is not tacky but stunning.

Lan Yu skillfully brought out the food from the food box and placed it on the table, Zi Luo followed suit slowly, after all, it was the first time serving his wife, and no one blamed her.

It was just the red prawns on the table, the fresh and tender sea bass, and the aroma that exuded from time to time teased Zi Luo, and she unconsciously swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva.

But she knew very well that the rule in the house was that they could only retreat to eat when the master had finished eating and rested.

"Mom, I'm here for dinner."

No human voice came first, only cheerful voices came from the yard outside the house.

"It's Miss." Zhui'er said to the third lady with a happy face.

Sure enough, Zi Luo saw a girl walking in, with the same melon face as the third lady, peach blossom eyes, wearing a light yellow dress, with a jade pendant around her waist, red tassels swaying with the girl's cheerful steps, and hair stuck in her hair. The hairpin with butterflies flying together is full of youthful atmosphere.

Ziluo couldn't help feeling envious, they were obviously the same age.

Lan Yu went to the cupboard to get fresh bowls and chopsticks and put them in front of the young lady, Zhui'er was peeling shrimp for the third lady, while Shuangyue was serving soup for the lady, and Ziluo was carefully picking out the fishbone with a small plate.

"Xingxue, you came at the right time. Today I have your favorite shrimp." The third lady smiled happily, and put the freshly peeled shrimp in Xingxue's bowl.

Ziluo lowered her head and put the fish meat that had been picked out in front of her wife. She was trying to hold back her tears and took a deep breath, trying to get rid of the scene of her mother serving her vegetables in her mind.

"Where's your brother?" The third lady glanced at Xingxue.

"Probably still sleeping." Xingxue replied casually.

"Slap" the chopsticks were slapped heavily on the table.

"Chui'er, order someone to invite the young master to come here." The third lady suppressed her anger.

"Yes." Zhui'er wiped her hands on the wet cloth and backed out.

After the meal, the bowls and chopsticks were removed, but the third son did not come. The third wife allowed them to go back to eat first, so Lan Yu and the three saluted and retreated.

After walking outside the courtyard, Lan Yu said to Zi Luo: "Chui'er is a personal servant girl, and she lives in a wing room in the courtyard."

Suddenly Ziluo saw their frozen expressions, and then bowed his knees.

"Three sons."

Zi Luo, who came back to his senses, hurriedly saluted.

"Is this the new maid?" Zi Luo, who lowered his head, first heard a magnetic voice, and in the next second his chin was forcefully lifted by a finger, and a handsome face was reflected in Zi Luo's pupils.

"Yes, the maid in the new wife's room is called Zi Luo." Lan Yu's voice was as thin as a mosquito.

"Zi Luo, you have a good name and good looks, hahaha." With inexplicable laughter, the third son walked past them.

　I hope you like it, you can support a lot, thank you
