Maid's Counterattack

Chapter 25 Chapter 25
In the blink of an eye, it was approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, the wind was getting cooler, the sweet-scented osmanthus was fragrant, and the moon was getting rounder day by day. Before that, the three wives were well and not disturbing each other.

Ziluo did not give up on tracking down Routong. Although the progress was slow, she still discovered a big secret.

"Sister Zhui'er, you suggest that the third lady spend some money and ask the doctor who came to make a diagnosis on the day of the accident."

A few days ago Ziluo suggested to Zhui'er.

Sure enough, the doctor found that Rou Tong had old injuries, which seemed to be caused by frequent beatings, but the doctor was as timid as a mouse, so naturally he would not expose it. Zi Luo deduced that the eldest son often beat Rou Tong, maybe he missed it that day. Routong died, but she shirked it to the third son.

Of course the third lady was furious, but now she has a more important matter, that is, her parents will come to see her in the Zhao residence on the Mid-Autumn Festival.Since she married into the Zhao Mansion, she has only been back to her natal home twice, and this is the first time for her parents to visit her.The third lady looks strong on the surface, but she is also soft and affectionate in her heart, so when she heard the news from Master Zhao that her parents were coming to see her, she immediately forgot all her troubles, and her complexion was much better than before.

"I'm a little envious of the third lady, and her parents came to see her."

Fang Xin looked at the moon that was getting rounder and rounder and said, the moonlight cast a layer of mist on her face, making her face look mysteriously beautiful.

"The madam now has a family, and the master loves her."

Ziluo said in relief.

"is it?"

The corners of Fang Xin's mouth turned up, making an intriguing arc, and he turned and entered the room.

Fang Xin carried the food box and walked towards the kitchen. Probably because tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone in the Zhao Mansion is more energetic than before, preparing various ingredients and discussing what kind of mooncakes they want to eat. You can see Chang'e on the moon?

"Chu Qing!"

Ziluo, who hadn't seen Chuqing for a long time, wanted to jump up excitedly.

"Zi Luo!"

Chuqing also cried out happily.

"How are you doing?"

Ziluo asked with concern.

"Fortunately, as long as there is no crime, the eldest lady will not punish you for no reason, but what about you?"

Chuqing looked at Ziluo with a smile.

"I work everywhere, Fang Xin treats my servants pretty well."

Ziluo said in a low voice.

"I want to ask you something."

Ziluo pulled Chuqing to move behind the tree.

"After the incident with the eldest son, was the lady very sad at that time?"

Ziluo asked in a low voice.

"Ah, um, no, when you ask, um, in retrospect, I don't think she was very sad at the time. Although she would wipe her eyes with a handkerchief, she obviously didn't cry, and she wasn't her own daughter anyway. What are you doing?" Ask this?"

Chuqing said while recalling.

"Uh, I heard that the eldest son beat her wife to death, but framed the third son."

Knowing that Chuqing was tight-lipped, Ziluo simply told her.

"what!"

Chu Qing widened her eyes in surprise.

"Shh, it's fine if you know it, don't talk nonsense, just be careful yourself, the lady is not a simple person."

Ziluo looked around and lowered his voice.

"On this full moon night, it is inevitable that there is someone in my heart."

Seeing Chuqing's nervous expression, Ziluo changed the subject.

"Zi Luo, you also started making fun of me."

Chu Qing blushed.

"Haha, this is not a joke, it is envy, very envious."

Ziluo lightly squeezed Chuqing's face.

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going back to sleep."

Chuqing pouted, turned and left.

Ziluo looked at Chuqing's back, and the corners of her mouth inadvertently curved into a smile. To Chuqing, she was her good friend, and also a little star of hope that she carefully cared for, a beauty that she wished to have but did not know when it would come.

When she returned to Yifuxuan, the lights in the main house had already been turned off. If Master Zhao didn't come, Fang Xin would go to bed early.Zi Luo returned to her room, so quiet that even the meowing of cats outside the yard was particularly ear-piercing.

"I'll sleep too."

Ziluo stretched her waist and said to herself.She brought a basin of water to the yard to wash up, took off her coat, and half-lyed on the bed looking at the window. The moon tonight was brighter than yesterday. The scene of the fairy descending to earth in the dream.

Ziluo, who had calmed down, recalled what happened during this period of time. She understood a truth, that is, people should not be judged by appearances, and seeing is not necessarily believing. Have a good home.

good home?Ziluo just fell asleep in that beautiful fantasy, but the fantasy is beautiful, but the dream is cruel. She actually dreamed of Routong, with that pale face, terrified eyes, and shrill screams , a man was standing in front of her, but couldn't see the man's face clearly, Zi Luo shouted, "Come on, help." Suddenly the man turned around, with that ferocious face, long fangs, that It was clearly not a human face.

"Ah!" Zi Luo suddenly sat up in shock, she gently wiped the faint sweat from her forehead with her cuff.After a long time, she secretly made up her mind, her lips were cold and her teeth were dead. Just as Fang Xin said that the third wife lost power, she would become a thorn in the eyes of others. Now Fang Xin treats her well, and she doesn't want to change masters again, so she secretly helped the third wife Just help yourself.

Zi Luo, who made up his mind, regained his composure.Quickly put on clothes and get out of bed to wash.Then he went to the main house to help Fang Xin dress up.

"The third lady's parents will arrive at Zhao's Mansion early this morning, so we don't have to go, what's the fun."

Fang Xin was admiring her jeweled self in the mirror, very satisfied.

"Yes, ma'am, today is a big banquet at noon, at Mo Shuxuan in the main courtyard."

Zi Luo reminded Fang Xin.

"I know, let's just hang out here first, and just have dinner at some point."

Fang Xin got up and came to the desk, and was about to start practicing painting again.

Sudie and Canruo are cleaning the yard, and Ziluo is also practicing calligraphy when she returns to her room.Half an hour later, she suddenly offered to go to the laundry room to pick up the clothes she had washed a few days ago.

The laundry room is next to the kitchen, which is a relatively small yard, half smaller than the kitchen.Several aunts in the yard were washing clothes when Ziluo entered the house.

"Miss Ziluo is here."

The steward of the laundry room greeted him and took the clothes that Ziluo wanted from a shelf.

"Hey, is there a pink dress missing?"

Ziluo flipped through and said.

"Really, I'll look for it."

The manager went back to the shelf and rummaged through it.

"Is it on the shelf over here?"

While talking, Ziluo also went inside to browse in front of another shelf.

"No, it won't, it only enlarges the lady's clothes all the time."

The steward replied.

"Oh, oops, I seem to remember wrongly, that dress was not sent for washing, sorry to trouble you."

As Ziluo said, he took out a piece of broken silver from his body and put it on the table in front of him.

"it's okay no problem."

The person in charge who received the money was all smiles.

Zi Luo bowed his head slightly to her, then turned and left, brushing shoulders with Man'er, the new servant girl from Da Furen's office.

"Yo, Miss Man'er is here, the clothes are already ready, I'll go get them."

The manager's tone was just right, Zi Luo puffed up her chest and raised the corners of her mouth as she walked.
