Maid's Counterattack

Chapter 26 Chapter 26
The family banquet for the Mid-Autumn Festival was held in Mo Shuxuan. The mother of the third lady is really a great beauty, even more stunning than the third lady. Although she is over half a hundred years old, the years have carved some marks on her face, but the beauty is not there. Pi, her beauty exudes infinite charm from the inside out, and although her father is tall and tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, every look in his eyes and every word he says reveals that he is a cunning person.

"I, Yang, can spend the Mid-Autumn Festival here this time. I am really happy. First, I can see my daughter and my son-in-law. Second, I am extremely excited to see the famous Mr. Zhao again after so many years."

Master Yang raised his head to drink a glass of wine after finishing speaking.

The other people sitting also raised their wine glasses. The third lady seemed to be listening to Master Yang at all. She just looked at her mother and smiled. That was the true joy of a daughter seeing her mother from the bottom of her heart.

"Father-in-law will stay here for a few more days."

Master Zhao said.

"I want to stay longer, but I still have some things to do, and I will leave after breakfast tomorrow."

Mr. Yang put a piece of tofu in his mouth.

"Hey, this is the new lady."

Master Yang's eyes fell on Fang Xin.

"Fang Xin met Master Yang."

Fang Xin stood up and saluted Master Yang.

"It looks good, but it's a little less atmospheric."

Master Yang cast a sideways glance at Master Zhao.

"The concubine is not talented, so naturally she can't compare to the beauty of the third wife. I just hope that the ladies can tolerate me."

Fang Xin raised his wine glass and drank it with his head up.Master Zhao squinted his eyes and laughed.

"Master Yang, don't worry, haven't you heard that your daughter is a concubine in the Zhao Mansion."

The eldest lady spoke.

Hearing Da Furen's voice, the third madam, who was immersed in her childhood memories, suddenly trembled, and immediately glared at Da Furen with a straight face.

"Today we mainly celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. We eat and drink well. In the evening, we will send mooncakes to various yards. Everyone can enjoy the moon and eat mooncakes. My mother-in-law can also catch up with Yan'er (the third lady's nickname)."

Master Zhao smoothed things over.

Afterwards, everyone formed their own circle of friends. Mr. Zhao and Mr. Yang chatted, the third lady joked with her mother, the eldest lady said a few words to Fang Xin, and the eldest son and third son each glanced at each other, just eating Silent, it seems that each has a ghost in his heart.

After the family banquet, Zi Luo followed Fang Xin back to Yifuxuan.

"Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, I also allow you to rest for an afternoon, just come over by dinner time."

Fang Xin went into the room and took out a beautiful silver hairpin, and sent it to Zi Luo and the three of them while talking.

"Mrs. Xie."

The three bowed their knees.

Ziluo decides to secretly visit the third lady.Although it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, she was not in a good mood. One was that she had no family to reunite with, and the other was that not long after Rou Tong passed away, she was probably the only one in the entire Zhao family who felt sad for her.

Sometimes when I’m in a bad mood, I don’t want to walk in the sun. It seems that there is something dark in my heart. The more I am in the dark, the more I can dig out the root of my troubles, and let them soar up and circle around me.So Ziluo is now walking on a dark, tree-lined path.

"I respect you, father-in-law. You have to act like an elder. What you are doing now is an illegal business, but you don't restrain it, and you want to expand it. Once people find out, we will all lose our lives."

Master Zhao's voice suddenly came from one side, startling Zi Luo, and stood up to look around.

"Hmph, you bastard, you're happy with the money yourself, and now you're talking sarcastic here again, and you're respecting me as an elder. When you ask for money, you'll split it fifty-fifty with me."

This time it was Mr. Yang who spoke.

Ziluo shook his head, presumably the money of some officials and businessmen is mostly unclean.

"If you persist in your obsession, I will make a break with you early."

Master Zhao's voice gradually faded away, Zi Luo didn't want to know the dirty things among these men.

There is a small lake not far from the small forest, and there is a small pavilion in the middle of the veranda passing through the lake. The third son is sitting in the pavilion drinking wine alone.

"Son."

Ziluo saluted and said hello to him when passing by.

"It's you! Wait a minute."

The third young master stopped Zi Luo while he was half drunk and half awake.

"What's the matter, son?"

Ziluo lowered his head slightly and asked.

"Why do you trust me?"

The third son stared at Zi Luo, even if Zi Luo lowered his head slightly, he could still feel his burning gaze.

"Actually, you can see for yourself."

Ziluo took out the note hidden on her body.

"I guess there must be something strange in it, why did you have this note?"

The third young master suddenly said excitedly, even most of the wine was sober.

Ziluo frowned, recalling, and recounting the scene of seeing Routong that day.

"It turned out to be like this. I once saw her embroidering such a handkerchief in the gazebo. At that time, she said to herself that she hoped to find someone who was destined to take pity on her poor life. When I asked her what she meant, she just smiled wryly and said nothing."

The third son looked suddenly enlightened.

"Although the young master already has the answer in his heart, please don't be reckless, and the servants will not chat with the young master."

Zi Luo slightly bent his knees and turned to leave.

"I was a bit dissolute before. I just made myself look like a dandy. In fact, I hope to join the army like my second brother, but my mother asked me to compete with my elder brother to manage the family business."

The third son's voice echoed behind Ziluo.

Zi Luo had already finished what she was going to do, recalling just now, when she saw the third young master, she let out a deep breath, secretly happy in her heart, she didn't need to go to the third madam anymore, just give it to him.

Walking through the veranda, Ziluo raised her head and looked up at the sky. At this time, she most wanted to see Shuangyue or Chuqing. In this Nuoda courtyard, the two people who could still hug and comfort each other seemed to have something to think about this Mid-Autumn Festival. Those who want to be reunited, thinking of this, she quickened her pace.

When she came to the small courtyard where she used to live, Ziluo saw a happy world. Everyone moved the tables into the courtyard, and there were all kinds of food on them. A bright moon was shining in the sky. Everyone gathered around the table, Eating, talking and laughing, a lively scene.

"Oh, Yun'er, look at your gluttony, you stuff your mouth like a squirrel."

Shuangyue pointed at Yun'er and said, everyone looked at Yun'er and laughed.

"Ah, Ziluo, you are finally here."

Chuqing was the first to spot Ziluo standing at the door.

"Whoever loses, get the money quickly."

Shuangyue stretched out her hands and laughed.

"Shuangyue made a bet with others that you will definitely come here."

Chuqing explained to the puzzled Ziluo.

"Shuangyue, you are so brave, bet on me."

Ziluo ran forward to laugh and beat Shuangyue, while Shuangyue hid in the crowd back and forth, everyone laughed again.

The laughter echoed throughout the courtyard, it was the heartfelt joy of a group of people who were enjoying themselves while suffering.
