Maid's Counterattack

Chapter 4
Ziluo looked at Shuangyue in surprise, feeling that the intoxicating fragrance was getting closer and stronger.Suddenly a person came out from behind the rockery on the right.

"Stop, both of you." While seeing the man's appearance clearly, the voice came to his ears.

"Third Young Master." Shuangyue blessed the man, and Zi Luo, who came back to his senses, also bowed his knees to salute.

"You're a new girl, right? Your name is Ziluo?" The third son, Qing Jun, narrowed his eyes and pointed at Ziluo.

"Yes." Ziluo suppressed the tension and fear to keep her voice calm.

However, Chu Qing's words kept ringing in his mind, "The maid was beaten out of the house after being insulted by the third son." Looking at Shuangyue's expression, it must be true.

"Raise your head." Qing Jun's figure was already approaching, and Zi Luo couldn't help himself, his body trembled slightly uncontrollably.

"What are you afraid of?" Qing Jun sneered, pinching her cheek with his thumb and index finger.

The alcohol exhaled from his mouth floated on Ziluo's face and into his nose, warm and mellow.

"Beauty is like wine to make people intoxicated! Hahaha!" Accompanied by wanton laughter, Qingjun lowered his head and took a deep breath between Ziluo's neck, then turned and left.

"Sweet, really fragrant!" Qing Jun gradually drifted away, but his voice whispered like a devil in his ear, making Zi Luo shudder.

After a long time, Shuangyue tugged at Ziluo's sleeve. "Zi Luo, hurry up, go back late, the third lady will blame you."

Ziluo trembled like a ghost, looked at Shuangyue, there seemed to be tears imprisoned in the eye sockets, waiting for the last strength to dissipate, and then spewed out.

"Don't be afraid, I won't tell them. No one else saw my son at the moment, let's go." Shuangyue seemed to understand Ziluo's eyes, and comforted her.

"Thank you, Shuangyue." Ziluo nodded, and followed Shuangyue at a faster pace.

After that, Ziluo was still immersed in the fear just now, and unconsciously followed Shuangyue to a relatively large yard, where the two rooms were side by side. This was the kitchen. The teapot with white patterns can only be said to be almond tea.

Shuangyue held a tray with mung bean cakes, candied fruit and other food on it.

There was some time delay on the way here, and Shuangyue urged her to hurry back.Getting closer and closer to the third lady's courtyard, Zi Luo's heart was about to rush to her throat.

"Zi Luo, if the third lady asks, just say that I accidentally sprained my foot." Shuangyue frowned slightly, also a little nervous.

"No, let's say I accidentally sprained my foot." Zi Luo looked at Shuangyue with guilt.

As soon as they entered the hospital, the two felt dizzy as if struck by lightning.

I saw the third lady sitting in the gazebo among the flowers, Lanyu was holding a bronze mirror, and Zhui'er was putting the garland she had made on the lady's head, adding a pretty look to her charm, and the stone table in front of her There is a milky white ceramic vase with gold patterns on it, filled with bright flowers.

"Mother, you are really the most beautiful woman in the world." The third son, Qing Jun, sat beside the third wife and drank tea.

"No matter how much you praise me, it won't calm me down. How many times have I said, stop drinking with your cronies and read more, and it will make your father happy."

"Mom, I know, I promise I won't drink again."

"Chui'er, pour the young master another cup of sobering tea."

The conversation between the two ends after seeing Ziluo and Shuangyue.

"Why did you come back so late?" The third lady was a little angry with a straight face.

"Back, back to Madam, I accidentally sprained my foot, Madam please forgive me." After Zhui'er took the teapot from Zi Luo's hand, she knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Useless things, step back." The third lady gave her a sideways look, and then turned to Qingjun.

"You guys go fetch some water to prepare, and you will water the flowers tomorrow morning." Zhui'er spoke, making them atone for their sins.

They retreated in response, Zi Luo kept his head slightly lowered, and could still feel Qing Jun's eyes looming over him, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a frivolous smile.

After leaving the yard, Ziluo took out the handkerchief pinned to his chest, and wiped his forehead lightly.

"It's dangerous, thanks to your thoughtfulness, Shuangyue, otherwise I really don't know how to answer."

"After a long time, you will know how to answer, and you will always be wronged." Shuangyue couldn't hide her sadness, and changed to another portable bucket.

Ziluo was also carrying a bucket, and they were going to fetch water from a well not far away, and pour it into a large water tank in the third lady's yard.

The well is on the left side of the yard. They went out of the gate, turned left, and walked smoothly along the cobblestone path. The small wild flowers along the way were white, pink, and purple, which matched the delicate flowers in the third lady's yard. It has a fresh and refined feeling than others.

The well was found very quickly. The mouth of the well was hidden among the weeds. Although it was not far from the yard, it seemed a bit remote because of the rows of trees, the overgrown weeds, and the back. Shuangyue skillfully tied the barrel On the rope, there was only a plop, and Zi Luo quickly turned the handle, and a bucket full of water was pulled up in a moment, and her arm felt sore the moment she put the bucket down.

When Shuangyue was tying another bucket, Ziluo caught a glimpse of a jade pendant in the weeds, and her heart beat violently for a moment. She pretended to drop the handkerchief on the ground, bent down and picked up the jade pendant.

She seemed to have seen this jade pendant in her memory, and she tried hard to search for the fragment in her mind. Suddenly, her eyes widened suddenly.

At that time, she was still following behind the big housekeeper. She marveled at the courtyard of Zhao Funuo University. She looked around as she walked, and she seemed to see a person behind a rockery. Due to the obstruction of trees and stones, she couldn't see clearly. The appearance of the person is just the jade pendant on his waist. It is crystal clear, delicate and smooth, and reflects a pure luster in the sun, which makes her remember deeply when she has never seen a jade pendant.

"Ziluo, let's go." Hearing Shuangyue's voice, Ziluo realized that the second bucket of water had also been filled unconsciously.

The two of them used all their strength to carry a bucket each, swaying slightly to return to the original road, the splashed mercury wet the corners of their skirts, panting heavily, but they dared not take a break.

After going back and forth three times like this, the water tank in the garden was finally filled. Zi Luo felt that his arms were no longer arms, his legs were no longer legs, and he was about to pass out from thirst.

"Go and rest for a while and drink some water." Zhui'er's voice was so beautiful at this moment.

Ziluo followed Shuangyue to a remote corner of the yard, where there was a simple shed with a stone table, three stone benches, and teapots and cups on the table. They would come here to drink some tea when they were resting.

Zi Luo sat down on the stone bench and drank five glasses of water.

"How do you feel?" Shuangyue pursed her lips and smiled, then asked with concern.

"To be honest, I'm a little tired, but I'll get used to it."

Zi Luo wiped the water from the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, looked at the sky, the clouds were flowing, the sun had already started to set, probably dinner was coming soon, and they were going to get busy again.
