Maid's Counterattack

Chapter 37: Chapter 37

In the blink of an eye, another month passed, and another month would be the New Year. The gossip gradually faded away, and everyone in the house was busy, and the lively atmosphere of the past was restored.

"Zi Luo, I heard the master told his wife that the second young master is coming back."

Chuqing said to Ziluo with a happy face.

"Really? That's great, it's finally been a long time to see each other."

Ziluo is really happy for Chuqing.

"You must dress up well when you meet."

Ziluo helped the hairpin on Fu Chuqing's head.

"I won't tell you anymore, I'm making fun of me again."

Chu Qing came running shyly.

Ziluo who returned to Yifuxuan happily told Fang Xin about it.

"Ma'am, I heard that the Second Young Master is coming back. He will go back to Beijing to do some business, and he will go back after staying for a few days."

For the second young master's return, Zi Luo was very happy, even more happy than herself for making one more new dress, because she was really happy for Chu Qing.

"Really? Long time no see!"

Fang Xin said this absently.

The army the Second Young Master is in is stationed in a small town on the border. Their leader is a middle-aged man named Zheng Bu. This man is very capable, but very tactful. The other lieutenant said he was there to assist, but in fact he was there to monitor him. So far, this general has won many military exploits.

"I'm a little uncomfortable today. You ask Su Die to tell the master that you won't be attending the second son's welcome banquet."

Fang Xin rubbed his temples and half-lyed on the bed.

Zi Luo knew that Mr. Zhao was not sincere about the Second Young Master's reception banquet, and she just wanted to learn about the border affairs from Second Young Master, but she was still a little disappointed when she heard that Fang Xin would not go. She really wanted to join in the fun and see Chu Qing looked at the second young master affectionately.

"Zi Luo, go to the kitchen and tell us to deliver our meals in advance, lest we have to be busy over there and delay our meals."

Fang Xin said lazily.

"Yes, ma'am."

Ziluo backed out and walked towards the kitchen.

On the road, some servants were already walking towards Mo Shuxuan with fruits and snacks. It seemed that the second young master had already arrived.

"Has the Second Young Master come back?"

Ziluo stopped someone casually and asked.

"Yeah, I just arrived, and I'm still talking to the master in the study."

The man replied.

"Young master, did you say that you will stay at the mansion for a few days? Oh, my wife is not feeling well, so I can't see you today."

Zi Luo felt that directly asking about the Second Young Master's situation would easily lead to misunderstanding, so he said something about his wife's situation.

"Oh, before the meal, the young master will go to various courtyards to meet various wives."

The man laughed, probably because Xiao Ziluo was dull.

"thank you, I know now."

Zi Luo slightly bent his knees, thanked the other party, and hurried to the kitchen.

"Ma'am, I have informed the kitchen to deliver the meal in advance, and they said it will be delivered an hour earlier."

Zi Luo who returned to Yifuxuan replied to his wife.Then he knelt down and beat his wife's legs, but he was absent-minded, thinking about when the second son would come here.

"Ma'am, the Second Young Master is here."

Hearing Canruo's voice, Ziluo suddenly regained his spirits. Did this person whom Chuqing misses so much now lose his scholarly appearance and become more resolute?

"Understood, let him in."

Fang Xin was still half lying on the bed, not intending to get up.

"Qing Wen pays respects to Si Niang."

The second son's magnetic voice caught Zi Luo's attention. The white-faced scholar in the past has turned slightly dark, and the overall outline looks more solid.

"Qingwen is back, is life at the border difficult?"

Fang Xin asked unhurriedly.

"Going back to Siniang, no matter how hard or tiring Qingwen is, Qingwen is not afraid, as long as everyone in the family is safe, that is Qingwen's greatest wish."

Probably after answering it several times, the second young master answered fluently.

"Well, Ziluo!"

Fang Xin glanced sideways at Zi Luo, Zi Luo understood, took out a jade pendant and handed it to the second son.

"Take it, it's the first time I've seen you as your fourth wife."

Fang Xin's tone of voice fluctuated a little, that kind of fluctuation can only be noticed by Zi Luo who often follows her, Zi Luo couldn't help turning her face to look at Fang Xin, seeing this, Zi Luo couldn't help frowning and contemplating, her charming With such a beautiful face, it seemed that he had seen it somewhere before, Zi Luo suddenly looked at the second son, why the two of them looked so alike, Zi Luo was puzzled, everything in the world looks alike, it doesn't have to be mother and son, father and son, right? !

"Qingwen will leave first, and Si Niang will take good care of herself."

Until Qingwen left Yifuxuan, Zi Luo was entangled. The fact that the second son and Fang Xin looked alike was probably not accidental. Why did Fang Xin, who was still in good spirits yesterday, suddenly feel uncomfortable today? Everyone meets the second son.

But this matter is completely impossible. Fang Xin was a maid before, and she was still in the palace when she was a teenager. Could it be that in the palace... Zi Luo didn't dare to think about it. She suddenly remembered something and needed to check with the second son. , that is the broken piece of jade pendant she picked up when cleaning Yifuxuan earlier, she needs to find the second son and ask him if he has another half.

"Ziluo, what are you thinking about?"

Fang Xin found that Zi Luo was in a daze.

"No, I didn't think about anything. It's almost time for meal delivery. I'll fetch water for my wife to wash her hands."

Ziluo perfunctorily left the room.

"Some things, once you know, you will have to bear the corresponding pain in your heart, and even pay the price of your life."

Fang Xin's voice came from behind.

Zi Luo didn't stop and didn't look back, because she had already made a decision a long time ago, and she decided to give herself an explanation.

"Young master, do you have such a piece of jade?"

In the middle of the night, Ziluo stood in the dark, holding half a piece of broken jade in his hand, which was slightly bright under the moonlight.

Recalling that after lunch today, Zi Luo quietly found the second son and made an appointment with him at night to find out something about the second wife, and asked him not to tell Chu Qing.

"What happened to this jade?"

Second Young Master's profile cast a curved shadow on a big rock next to him.

"I found it by accident when I was cleaning Yifuxuan. This piece of jade is only half a piece, and there is an inscription on it. I guess it is Qingwen. That's why I asked you if you have another half, so I can return it to you."

Ziluo explained.

"I didn't. You seem to be very interested in my mother's affairs."

The second son said with a sullen face.

"So excuse me for talking too much, does the young master have a birthmark?"

Zi Luo cautiously asked the next question.

"You, it's so rude, did you see that painting?"

The second son was a little annoyed.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you."

Zi Luo hurriedly apologized to ease the tense situation.

"If you are so interested, I can tell you one thing, which I have always cared about, and I can't let it go. Once I heard Lan Yu say that I have a younger sister who was born at the same time, named Ziwen, but I never I haven't seen her before, but Lan Yu told me that she died when she was born."

The second young master clenched his fists even tighter as he spoke, as if he was hiding a shocking secret in his heart, but the one thing he revealed was enough to shock Zi Luo.
