Maid's Counterattack

Chapter 45 Chapter 45 Purple Wen 1
Ziluo and Shuangyue had already adapted to life in the palace these two days, and because of Ye Mingzhu's matter, the eldest lady also temporarily stopped. On this day, Ziluo went to the kitchen to get some snacks, and saw two people walking by a small pavilion from afar.One of them is the prince, and the figure of the other person is also somewhat familiar. He approached quietly, and was surprised. It turned out to be the chief steward of the Zhao residence. government.

Suspicions arose in Zi Luo's heart, didn't the housekeeper have been exiled?What is his relationship with the prince?Does it have anything to do with him that we were taken to the palace?
These questions drove her to hide behind a tree and move closer to them little by little.

"The old man's vision is still good."

The butler said.

"I probably have his whereabouts, but I'm still not sure if it's him."

said the prince.

"My lord, I will also send people to look for him again. I must find him."

The butler said.

"Is there any news about Ziwen?"

The prince's sudden mention of this name made Zi Luo tense up.Ziwen is the second wife's biological child, why did the housekeeper look for her?
"No, I don't know where that butcher has moved to. Maybe it's not in the capital anymore."

There was sadness in the butler's words.

"My lord, I'm leaving first, I can't stay in the palace for long."

The butler turned to leave, and Zi Luo hurriedly retreated behind the tree.

"Come out."

After the butler left, the prince suddenly looked at the place where Zi Luo was hiding and said.

"My lord."

Ziluo showed embarrassment, and walked slowly in front of the prince.

"Did you recognize it?"

The prince stared at her and asked, Ziluo nodded silently.

"He was placed in the Zhao residence by the emperor, in order to find evidence of Zhao Shi's adultery and corruption with the queen mother."

A trace of sadness flashed in the prince's eyes, but it was fleeting.

"So, can I ask a question?"

Ziluo asked cautiously, for her, it was her obsession, and she was more concerned about the issue.

"Say."

said the prince.

"What is the relationship between Ziwen and the butler?"

Ziluo asked.

"That's right. Ziwen is his granddaughter. Let's put it this way, the mother of the second wife of the Zhao family was his childhood sweetheart. When he was poor, the second wife's mother was forced to marry someone else, but secretly dated him. If you have a child, that child will be the second wife."

"what!"

Zi Luo was stunned.

"Afterwards, he entered Zhao's mansion as a housekeeper. He wanted to see his daughter every day, but it was not as he wished. He found that the second wife was always unhappy after giving birth to the second son, so he asked a maid to pay more attention to it. One day the second wife had a quarrel with Mr. Zhao, because the second wife found that the second son did not have the birthmark on him, and he was not his own child. In the end, Mr. Zhao admitted that he sent the child away. Shortly after the quarrel, the two Madame fell ill and eventually passed away."

The prince was pacing in the pavilion while talking, while Ziluo beside him was sweating profusely, was that maid who overheard Lan Yu?

"Why don't you speak."

Seeing Zi Luo's pale expression, the prince smiled and shook his head.

"My lord, my lord, why do you..."

Ziluo was at a loss for words for a moment.

"The reason why I tell you so readily is because we are already an alliance. As long as I know the question you asked, I will definitely tell you. I also hope that you will not hide anything from me."

The prince's handsome side face is full of sorrow because of something in his heart.

"Yes, my lord, Zi Luoding will do my best to serve my lord."

The prince's words filled Zi Luo's heart with strength, and now the prince is like her backer, and most of the burden in her heart has been lifted.

"You go back first, you probably need to digest this matter for a while."

The prince stood with his hands behind his back, showing the demeanor of a king.

"Yes, my lord."

Zi Luo replied, and slowly withdrew from the prince's sight.

Zi Luo, who returned to Qinyangxuan, saw that Shuangyue was still concentrating on practicing calligraphy.

"Ziluo, why have you been away for so long?"

Shuangyue raised her head with a brush and asked.

"Um, there are other people who want to get some snacks, I'll wait for a while."

Ziluo found an excuse to prevaricate, but she didn't understand it yet, and she didn't want to tell Shuangyue yet.

"Oh, come and see, how is my writing going?"

Shuangyue beckoned Ziluo to pass.

Zi Luo put down his snacks, walked over to take a look, and saw that Shuangyue's writing was big and small, and they were not on the same level.

"That's right, we have to work harder to write the characters in the same size."

Ziluo still chooses to encourage her.

"Oh, but some gestures are too many, so I can only write bigger."

Double Moon pouted.

"Okay, you can rest for a while, and read my writing, there is still a little left, which can be handed over to the eldest lady."

Ziluo has been helping Shuangyue to copy the family motto, and it is almost finished.

"Ah, I don't want to go."

Shuangyue just took a piece of dim sum and was about to put it in her mouth, when she heard the words Da Furen, she frowned and curled her lips, unwilling to take another half step into Lijingxuan.

"Shuangyue, don't forget what our mission is, if you are so afraid of her, how can we deal with her?"

Ziluo enlightened.

"Okay, when are we going?"

Shuangyue said with great reluctance, in her heart, she had really regarded herself as the prince's wife, and even the matter of her promise to the prince was thrown out of the blue.

"Then in the afternoon."

Zi Luo looked at the paper full of words in his hand and said.

"Hey, why do I feel like this snack is not very good."

Shuangyue spat out the mung bean cake she ate.

"Really? Could it be that the lady told us to leave us some snacks on purpose."

Ziluo thought for a while and said.

"hateful!"

Shuangyue said bitterly.

"It's okay, I'll give it a try tomorrow and bring it back. If they still dare to do this, I'll tell the prince to see if their kitchen is owned by the lady or the prince."

Zi Luo said she was confident, and Shuangyue felt relieved.

After lunch, the two of them took the copied family motto and went to Lijingxuan.

"Did I mean copying family training? I clearly said copying women's precepts, copying them again."

The eldest lady tore up the family instructions that they had painstakingly copied for three days.

"Yes, sister."

Shuangyue didn't dare to argue, so she could only endure the grievance.

"In addition, come and say hello to me every day."

The eldest lady had a haughty expression on her face.

Shuangyue has already scolded the eldest lady thousands of times in her heart, but she still lowers her eyebrows on the surface.

"Let's go, don't be an eyesore here."

The eldest lady gave her a sideways look.

"Thank you for the rest."

Ziluo followed Shuangyue out of the room cautiously, for fear of accidentally stepping on the lady's tail again.

"It's really pissing me off."

Out of Lijingxuan's courtyard, Shuangyue said angrily.

"She is mad at us, we have to be mad at her."

Ziluo decided not to swallow his anger any longer.

"Why are you angry with her?"

Double Moon is puzzled.

"Go back and discuss."

Ziluo is mysterious.

Shuangyue, who was downcast just now, became excited and slipped accidentally, Ziluo laughed while helping her up, Shuangyue pretended to be angry and tickled Ziluo, the two laughed and walked towards Qinyangxuan, This happy scene added a touch of beautiful scenery to the dreary palace and the cold winter day, and it also made the prince who had been watching them in the dark twitch the corners of his lips.
