Maid's Counterattack

Chapter 24 Marriage 2
The next morning, Fang Xin started to paint after breakfast. Recently, she is always cultivating herself, either practicing calligraphy, painting or embroidery. She used to be a slave and did not have so much free time. Now her status is different. Noble temperament is the most important.

"Zi Luo, the weather doesn't look good right now, it looks like it's going to rain, move the wine jar to the pavilion."

Fang Xin is very good at brewing wine, and the wine brewed in Yuexiuxuan was moved here again.

Ziluo called Sudie and Canruo to move the big jar of wine to the pavilion.

"master."

The three people who finished moving the wine jar were all shocked when they saw Master Zhao who had already entered the courtyard.

"Xin'er!"

Master Zhao nodded slightly to them and then called Fang Xin loudly.

"Hey, master, Xiner thought you forgot about me, and I can't send out the purse I embroidered a long time ago."

Fang Xin came out of the house upon hearing the sound, leaning against the door frame, twirling the tether of the purse in his hand.

"I'm not too busy recently, I apologize, if you have any requests, just ask."

Master Zhao walked forward in three steps and two steps, and put Fang Xin in his arms.

"Then fine a few more drinks."

Fang Xin looked at the master tenderly with a smile on his face, only to see that Master Zhao was in full bloom.

"Okay, fine, a few more glasses of fine."

Master Zhao entered the room with Fang Xin in his arms.

Zi Luo tactfully helped his wife close the door, turned around and saw a pea-sized wet spot on the ground, it was raining.

"Sudie, Canruo, you two go to the kitchen to get some fruit snacks, the master probably won't leave for a while."

Ziluo said to the two standing in the gazebo.

"Ok."

After the two left under the umbrella, Ziluo stood under the eaves and her expression suddenly darkened, just like the changeable weather, her heart was beating like a drum, how much she wanted to plead with the master and let Miss Xingxue go, but no one spoke lightly, her own fate She is still unable to make decisions, and she has no ability to control others. She just does her best to help others, just like she is standing outside the door now, always hoping to hear something.

"I'll stay here for a day today, and I'll be busy tomorrow. Xingxue is going to get married soon."

After a while, Master Zhao's voice came from the house, Zi Luo couldn't help but tilt his head, tense his nerves, and listened carefully to the movement in the house.

"How do you marry the young lady to that sick tuberculosis?"

Fang Xin said flatly.

"Oh, you don't know, my deadly enemy is thinking about how to bring me down every day. Although I have the backing of the queen mother, he also has the support of the emperor, how can I not develop more wings."

Mr. Zhao became a little angry while talking.

"Master, come and have a sip of tea to calm down. I am a woman. I don't know anything about the officialdom. I only know that the master's decision must be right. After all, the master is also working hard for this family every day. Just don't let people know what is good or bad. It's us who hit the pole."

Fang Xin spoke unhurriedly.

"Well, don't worry, I have my own reasons."

After Master Zhao finished this sentence, he stopped talking, only flirting sounds remained.

With a blushing face, Zi Luo raised her arm, pinched the corner of the sleeve with one hand and pulled it, the sleeve unfolded like a fan, covering the top of her head, rushed into the rain, and trotted to the eaves of the side house.As soon as she stood still, she saw Sudie and Canruo came back with umbrellas and fruit snacks.

"Wait a minute, I'll ask first."

While talking, Ziluo turned back and knocked lightly on the door.

"Ma'am, some fruit snacks."

Ziluo said tentatively.

"Send it in."

Fang Xin's voice came out.

Zi Luo turned to Su Die, Canruo waved, the three of them entered the room and arranged the fruit and snacks neatly, Zi Luo saw Master Zhao and Fang Xin at the desk, Master Zhao was holding her hand from behind Fang Xin. Teach her to draw.After the three of them placed their things, they saluted and left.

It was still raining, as Mr. Zhao said, he stayed here for a day and didn't leave until after dinner, and the rain had stopped by then.

Zi Luo, who came back from dinner and delivered food boxes, saw Fang Xin standing in the yard looking up at something, so she quietly took a cloak and put it on Fang Xin.

"You must be wondering what I'm looking at. I'm looking for the moon. It's just that it's cloudy today. I probably won't be able to see it tonight."

Fang Xin said.

"Why do you always love to look at the moon?"

Ziluo was puzzled, she could see Fang Xin looking up at the sky in the yard almost every night.

"Because she is my friend. Since I became a slave, I have never seen my family. It should be said that my family never wants to see me after they sold me. I will watch it whenever I have time." I look at the moon and think about my heart, as if she is my friend and then listen to my difficulties."

Fang Xin's expression became sad as he said this.

"Madam was once a miserable person."

Ziluo sighed.

"Bitter? It's really hard. Hmph, I was not only abandoned by my family, but also by my husband. Later, when I came to the Zhao Mansion, I lived a stable life."

Fang Xin took a sip of the tea brought by Zi Luo and continued.

"Zi Luo, you must be suspecting that I instigated Su Die and Can Ruo to sow discord in front of the third wife, yes, it was me."

Fang Xin took the initiative to tell this matter, Zi Luo never thought of it, but just opened his mouth halfway, not knowing how to answer.

"I like you very much, but I can't stand someone who is here with me, but misses the old master, so I want to test you, but I am disappointed in the end. If you really don't want to serve me, I will tell the eldest lady, you Just go back, don't be distracted here."

Although Fang Xin said so, his tone was not the slightest bit of blame.

"Madam, Ziluo will be loyal to Madam in the future."

Zi Luo didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only say this.

"I choose to believe you. I can tell you one thing, but first tell me what you think of the eldest lady."

Fang Xin said thoughtfully.

"The lady is steady and dignified..."

Ziluo replied in a low voice, afraid of saying something wrong.

"Hmph, steady and dignified? Yes, I'll add one more thing, she is the kind of person who will take revenge for every wrong done."

Fang Xin sneered.

"Miss Xingxue's matter is that she sent someone to take the portrait of the young lady in advance, but instead told the master that the general's eldest son found Qingxuan to ask for it, so the master has no way to marry a maid instead of the young lady."

Fang Xin finished speaking in one breath and gave Zi Luo a sidelong glance.

Zi Luo stood there in a daze, her mind blank.

"Miss Xingxue has no choice but to marry. Let's replace the third son and comfort the third lady. After all, I don't want the third lady to die of anger like this. If she dies, I will eventually become a thorn in the side of others."

Fang Xin continued.

"Ma'am, you..."

Zi Luo wanted to ask something, but he didn't dare to ask more, and swallowed the words that came to his lips.

"Aren't you trying to ask if I'm with the eldest lady? I'm just her pawn. She heard that someone introduced the new lady to the master, and she is beautiful and smart. She just recommends it because she thinks it's difficult to control unknown people." me."

Fang Xin stared at Zi Luo straight into her pupils.

"Think about it, don't be naive."

Fang Xin turned back to the house and closed the door, leaving Ziluo standing in the empty yard with a face full of shock.Dark clouds weighed down, not a ray of light could shine into Ziluo's pupils, or into her heart.

Miss Xingxue's wedding was held in a hurry on the second day, and the third son had already been released. He supported the tearful third wife, and hugged and bid farewell to the young lady.

Although the young lady was wearing a bright red wedding dress, her face was full of sadness and her eyes were a little swollen. She must have cried the night before.

Zi Luo followed Fang Xin and couldn't help tears welling in her eyes, "Miss Xingxue has to marry", what Fang Xin said faintly echoed in her ears.

Everyone sent to the gate and watched the young lady get into the sedan chair, but the groom who was supposed to come to meet the bride was unable to come because of his weakness, and only the housekeeper of his house came on his behalf, which made the third lady even more sad.

"Sister, don't be sad. I heard that the son is still good. He probably did something bad in his previous life. He is so weak in this life. But he is the son of a general after all. Xingxue is smart and kind. All right."

The eldest lady had a caring look on her face, but her tone of voice was eccentric.

The third lady gave her a hard gouged look, and without saying anything, she helped the third young master to leave.

"I don't care about Rou Tong's affairs, so don't be shameless."

The eldest lady finished speaking with a dark face and left.

"Okay, let's go back."

Fang Xin said.

Zi Luo followed Fang Xin, turning her head three times at every step, feeling angrily in her heart, and couldn't let go of it for a long time.
