Maid's Counterattack

Chapter 40 Chapter Forty
Rumors arose in the mansion early the next morning.

"Have you heard? The Second Young Master took Chu Qing and ran away overnight, and the Da Furen didn't give orders to chase after her."

Shuangyue said anxiously, facing Ziluo with a dazed face, she was trying her best to pretend not to know.

"I also just heard that Chuqing and the Second Young Master have an affair!"

Ziluo's expression was in place, frowning, with an unbelievable expression on his face.

"Could it be that the Zhao Mansion is really going to end? Early this morning, the third lady suddenly danced and sang, as if delirious. She laughed and said that Xuan'er must not come back, and cried that she Treat the master sincerely, but the master betrayed her."

Hearing what Shuangyue said, he remembered that the third son had been sent by the third wife to do something a few days ago, and he felt inexplicably as if a big rock had fallen to the ground, and fell into deep thought.

"Zi Luo, Zi Luo, what are you thinking?"

Double Moon's voice pulled her out of her thoughts.

"Oh, I was wondering what should we do?"

Ziluo said casually.

"What should we do? We may be exiled, or even beheaded. Do you know, I heard that someone is packing up and fleeing."

Shuangyue became more and more anxious, and almost cried.

"It's not good, it's not good, Zhao Mansion is surrounded by officers and soldiers."

Suddenly, someone shouted loudly, which immediately aroused a shrill cry.

"Zi Luo, I can't escape."

Shuangyue's eyes were empty, she stared blankly at Ziluo, as if her soul had been taken away.

"Shuangyue, resign to fate!"

Zi Luo said something lightly, then turned and left, letting tears flow wantonly, while Shuangyue burst into tears behind her.

"Zi Luo, why didn't you escape yesterday."

Back at Yifuxuan, Fang Xin was leaning against the door frame of the house, looking several years older.

"It may not be possible to escape if there are too many people, and I have to stay with Madam."

Ziluo returned to the house, and dialed the carbon in the carbon basin as usual.

"I hope they don't suffer from cold and starvation."

Ziluo said.

"Zi Luo, you are such a good person, you are always thinking of others, if I have a sister like you, I will be content."

Fang Xin looked at her with loving eyes.

"Although I had parents since I was a child, I didn't get much love. I just hope that I can be the support of the people I care about."

Zi Luo looked at the carbon basin, as if he had seen through everything.

"Yes, the man I rely on now is not as good as a woman. That old fox Zhao Shi must have escaped. He was not at home during the day yesterday."

Fang Xin said bitterly.

"Hey, didn't Canruo and Sudie come today?"

Only then did Ziluo realize that there were only the two of them in Nuoda's yard.

"Yeah, didn't you mean to call them?"

When Fang Xin said this, Zi Luo remembered that Su Die Canruo hadn't come in the morning, and she was going to visit the courtyard where they lived, but she met Shuangyue, and then, for some reason, she abducted her back.

"Hmph, I know when I think about it, they must be hugging and crying together."

Fang Xin said with a sneer.

"It seems to be here."

Suddenly there were begging for mercy and shouting from officers and soldiers from outside, creating a burst of noise.

"lady!"

Ziluo became nervous, moved to Fang Xin's side, and gently grabbed Fang Xin's sleeve and skirt.

"Aren't you afraid?"

Fang Xin turned slightly to look at her.

"Slave, I'm really a little scared. Madam thinks it's exile or decapitation?"

Ziluo had already started to tremble a little.

"behead!"

Fang Xin remained calm and made a gesture on his neck.

"The people in the house come out quickly, Zhao Shi and the queen mother colluded to disturb the court, and now the emperor ordered the house to be ransacked."

Suddenly there were four or five wearing armor, holding spears or swords, each of them was burly.

"Can you tell us, did Zhao Shi catch it?"

Fang Xin didn't care about life and death, but was most concerned about whether Zhao Shi was arrested.

"It has been caught outside the city."

One of the officers and soldiers said impatiently.

"Catch it, okay, okay, hahahahaha."

Fang Xin laughed wildly suddenly, the officers and soldiers showed disgust on their faces, grabbed one arm forcefully, tied a rope, and tied the other end to Ziluo's arm.

"hurry up."

A soldier gave Ziluo a hard push.

Zi Luo lowered her head and looked up at Fang Xin from time to time. At this time, she had calmed down and followed the front soldiers out of Yifuxuan.

They were driven to Mo Shuxuan, which was closest to the main entrance, where there were already many people tied to a rope, standing in a row.

Zi Luo raised his head slightly to look around, and saw that the third lady was with Shuangyue, and the eldest lady was also in this group of people, each with pained expressions, probably thinking that she would die soon.

"Report."

A soldier ran in with a long drawstring.

"what's up?"

The person who looked like an official asked.

"Zhao Qingxuan refused to make up, and was stabbed to death on the spot."

Soldiers report to officials.

"Okay, got it."

The officer waved him off.

"lady!"

Someone in the crowd screamed, Zi Luo looked around, it was the eldest lady who had fainted, she looked at the third lady again, the third lady also turned pale, she must be worried about the third son.

"Next, I will read the imperial decree."

The official cleared his throat, and all the people tied up below knelt down.

"By heaven's blessing, the emperor ordered that Prime Minister Zhao Shi colluded with the Queen Mother to disturb the court. He is dismissed today and beheaded at noon in two days.

After the official read the imperial decree, he looked at the people below, waiting for someone to come out to receive the decree, but some of the people kneeling below fainted, some collapsed and cried, some lost their minds, and no one stepped forward to receive the decree.

"Is there no one to accept the decree? That is considered a decree, all beheaded."

the official shouted angrily.

"I'll take the order."

Fang Xin stood up and looked at the official.

"you are?"

the official asked.

"I am Zhao Shi's concubine, named Fang Xin."

Fang Xin's tone was steady.

"Okay, it's you."

The official said with a blank face, probably wanting to move on to the next item quickly.

Fang Xin was untied by the officials. She walked forward slowly, knelt down to thank the Lord for his grace, received the imperial edict, kowtowed, and after a series of actions were completed, she was pushed back to her original position by the soldiers.

"You guys, take them out of the house first, and the others follow me to count things."

Officials ordered.

Everyone became agitated, and several people wanted to resist, but were stabbed to death by soldiers with spears on the spot. The blood splashed all over the ground, and even sprayed on other people, which scared the others to scream and dare not resist again.

When Ziluo followed everyone to the gate with heavy steps, someone stopped her suddenly.

"Wait a minute, bring that girl here."

A middle-aged man in a silver-gray robe looked her up and down, and looked at the portrait in his hand from time to time.

"What's your name."

The man opened his mouth.

"Zi Luo."

Zi Luo is timid, her voice is as quiet as a mosquito.

Afterwards, the man said a few words to a soldier next to him. The soldier nodded, as if he was still a little afraid of the man. Ziluo was blindfolded by the unknown man and stuffed into a sedan chair. inside.
