Maid's Counterattack

Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Gossip 1
The wind in winter is bitingly cold. Since the Yuefu poisoning happened, the eldest lady has completely lost her power. Mr. Zhao has not stayed at the eldest lady's place for two consecutive months, and in recent days he is often away from the house.

"Madam was originally afraid of the cold, but she got angry and hurt her body not long after the miscarriage. After winter, she often felt uncomfortable."

In Shuangyue, Chuqing and Ziluo were chatting in a remote part of the yard.

"Have you heard that the emperor found out about the illegal business the master did?"

Chu Qing said.

"That's too bad. If the emperor punishes Mr. Zhao for his crime, we will even sit down."

Ziluo said helplessly.

"Oh, it's just what I heard, don't say such depressing words."

Shuangyue said with a pooh.

"Let's not talk about this first, I heard a bigger secret from Da Furen, Da Furen is always talking about it lately."

Chu Qing said in a low voice.

"What secret?"

When Ziluo heard the word "secret", she perked up her ears. She never forgot the secret about the master that Fang Xin said. She wanted to know, not because she was nosy, but because she vaguely felt that this matter might It is related to the second wife, she probably inherited Lan Yu's will, and wanted to find out the truth about the second wife.

"One day, the eldest lady said to herself in front of the mirror. I was cleaning the yard outside, and the lady's dressing table was next to the window. I vaguely heard the eldest lady say that if you are unkind to me, I will be unrighteous to you. At worst, the fish will die and the net will be broken. I have no obligation to help you keep your secret relationship with the empress dowager."

While recalling, Chuqing said that her face was a little distorted because of fear.

"What, what!"

Biyue stuttered in surprise.

"Zi Luo, what's wrong with you, Zi Luo?"

Chu Qing probably saw Zi Luo's face change.

"She must have been terrified. This is a matter of Zhu Jiu Clan. We will all die."

Double Moon was scared.

But what Empress Ziluo was afraid of was not about Zhu Jiu Clan, but about something else, something even more terrifying.

"Someone is here, let's go."

Chu Qing said in a low voice.

"That's too late."

Ziluo took them and hid them in the dead branches of the flowers.

"I said Aunt Yu, you went to Da Furen and said that you would leave the house, Da Furen agreed?"

The speakers were probably older aunts who worked in the kitchen or laundry room.

"Yes, I said that my old father is seriously ill, but seeing that the eldest lady's face is not good, it will be hard to say if someone will go out of the house in the future."

That's what the aunt said.

"I'm also going to tell you what to do if you don't agree. I heard that Mr. Zhao has been pulled by the emperor for something. If we punish the Jiuzu, we will die."

The aunt who spoke first said again.

"Then you go and try."

Aunt Yu said.

Their voices became farther and farther away, and Ziluo and the others came out from the dry branches when they could no longer be heard.

"Listen, something must happen in the Zhao residence."

Double Moon said seriously.

"Let's go back first, and then inquire."

Ziluo comforted.

"Well, that can only be done."

Chuqing agreed.

When Ziluo returned to Yifuxuan, she saw that Fang Xin was actually practicing making tea. This was another hobby after she practiced flower arranging.

"Ma'am, have you heard?"

Ziluo asked cautiously.

"It's just gossip."

Fang Xin didn't look up at her and continued pouring tea.

"but…"

Ziluo stopped suddenly, she didn't know whether she should trust her completely and tell her her troubles.

"You don't need to say what you don't want to say, and I don't want to know, but there is one thing, if I guess correctly, soon, the palace will send someone to bring Yuefu into the palace."

Fang Xin said very calmly.

Ziluo poked the charcoal in the stove fire, making a slight crackling sound.

"Yuefu is going to be a concubine!"

Ziluo sighed.

"Concubine! How can it be so easy to be a concubine."

Fang Xin laughed.

"Madam, Da Madam asked everyone to go to the front yard to obey."

Canruo said anxiously as soon as she entered the room.

"Oh, she can't sit still?"

Fang Xin sneered and drank the tea he had poured.

"Let's go, let's go."

Fang Xin put on the cape with rabbit fur unhurriedly.Ziluo prepared a hand stove for her. Although it was only early winter, it was already biting cold.

"What a coincidence, sister."

When I was about to walk, I met the third lady. The third lady was wearing a thick peony-patterned cloak, and she looked really afraid of the cold.

"The old fox didn't know what the wind was, and called us out. It's such a cold day."

The third lady pulled her face and complained.

"Haven't you heard the rumors in the house?"

Fang Xin is now at the same distance as the third wife.

"You're talking nonsense, but it's you, the master takes good care of you so much, your stomach doesn't move at all."

Although the third lady changed the subject, she could still feel the uneasiness in her heart.

"Yo, if someone chats, they walk fast."

Seeing a huge crowd of people in front of him, Fang Xin also changed the subject.

"Since the two younger sisters are the masters, they should set an example, why are they late?"

When the eldest lady saw the two of them, she wanted to slap them to death as if she saw a mosquito.

The third lady turned her face to the side and ignored it at all. There is nothing to be afraid of a lost wife.

"We know the news is over, and I hope my sister will understand."

It was Fang Xin who gave her some face.

"Hmph, I brought everyone together mainly to talk about the recent gossip in our house. Our master has always served the emperor diligently. I don't know which villain maliciously slandered him."

The eldest lady was talking above, but Ziluo wrinkled her nose, not because of the cold, but because she remembered what Chuqing said, if it was true, then she was really pretending to be calm, and she was asking everyone to be buried with her.

"In short, if everyone wants to leave the Zhao Mansion, if the signed contract has not expired, they must not leave. Okay, let's go."

These were the last words the eldest lady said.

"The nagging is finally over, what does it have to do with us?"

The third lady rolled her eyes in the direction of the eldest lady.

"Hey, why haven't you seen the two sons recently?"

When they left, they also walked for a while.

"Oh, master asked Jun'er to do something."

The third lady's eyes dodged, as if there was something she couldn't say.

"Oh, that's it. The master still trusts Jun'er the most. Sister, walk slowly and be careful of slippery roads."

After Fang Xin said this, he walked away from the third lady at the fork in the road. Those words also spoke to the third lady's heart, and she could clearly see the curvature of the third lady's eyes smiling.

"Ziluo, if the rumors are true, will you be afraid?"

Fang Xin's sudden question left Zi Luo at a loss as to how to answer.

"Go back to Ma'am, I haven't made up my mind yet."

Ziluo could only answer like this.

"Think about it? That's disregarding life and death. If you are afraid, there must be something more important for you to miss."

Fang Xin looked up at a plum in the distance, the bud was about to open.
