Maid's Counterattack

Ziluo, who escaped, ran for a distance overnight, and finally found an abandoned cave. Fortunately, there were no ferocious animals in it, and he stayed there shivering until dawn.

At this moment, Ziluo was tired and hungry, walking as fast as an old man, when suddenly he heard someone chasing him.

"Everyone searched carefully, a woman can't run far, she must be nearby."

Ziluo was startled when she heard the man's voice, thinking that those people probably arrested her.

She raised her spirits and tried to speed up her pace with the last of her strength. She was trying to find a place to stay left and right. Probably because she was too nervous, she suddenly slipped and fell.

"There's movement there."

Someone with sharp eyes saw her, so the footsteps of many people got closer and closer. Finally, Zi Luo was still caught by those people.

"Who are you and why are you arresting me?"

Ziluo twisted her body, and her voice became irritable.

"We are from the yamen. Master Wu lost something at home and reported it to the police."

Hearing the official's words, Ziluo's head buzzed, and she immediately thought of Yuanyang's troubles for her. Could it be that Yuanyang deliberately framed her, but she didn't seem to be talking about her relationship with Zhui'er. Lying, at this time she didn't know what went wrong, so she could only let others take away her bag and search, and let them tie her hands, because in her bag, the lost property of the Wu Mansion was indeed found. thing.

"I was really wronged. Someone must have framed me."

Zi Luo was stunned, spoke weakly, and then passed out, as if falling into a bottomless abyss, pitch black and endless.

When she woke up, she found that there was darkness in front of her eyes. It turned out that she had been imprisoned. Then she looked at the cockroaches occasionally crawling around, and the musty smell drifted into her nose. Ziluo felt nauseated.

She recalled her experience in the Wu Mansion, but she couldn't figure it out, could it be that the eldest lady or the second lady put herself in a desperate situation by borrowing someone else's hand.

"Is there anyone? I was wronged, is there anyone?"

Ziluo seemed to be nervous and suddenly grabbed the cell door and shook it vigorously, although the door was still motionless.

"Why are you shouting, you don't know who you offended, and you still want to go out?"

A soldier who was guarding the prison walked over with splayed steps.

"Tell me, is it Mr. Wu? At least let me understand and go to jail."

Zi Luo stared at that person eagerly, no matter what, she must know the truth.

"Hmph, you really don't cry when you see the coffin, you offended the imperial concubine."

The man's words awakened the dreamer, and Zi Luo felt a little understanding. Could it be that the imperial concubine found out that she had faked her death and left the palace, and sent people to look for her all the way.

"I want to see my family one last time, is that okay?"

Zi Luo burst into tears, so pitiful, the jailer was a little moved.

"The eldest lady of the Wu family is not easy to mess with. She used to be good friends with the imperial concubine, and she knew that the Zhao family would be doomed sooner or later, so she married Master Wu to save her life."

After finishing speaking, the jailer tilted his head and thought of something, hesitated and continued.

"I can tell you a secret I heard, because I have a relative who works as a laborer in the Wu Mansion. He said that there is a maid named Shuju in the Wu Mansion. Later, she committed a crime and was taken in for a few days by a maid named Zhui'er in Zhao's mansion, and then entered Wu's mansion as a dowry maid."

The jailer looked around, probably feeling that he had said too much.

He took one last look at her and walked past Ziluo shaking his head, probably because he thought it was a pity that such a beautiful girl was locked up here.

"Shuju, isn't she the second lady's personal maid?"

Ziluo murmured, did she really get cheated by Shuju, did she really fall into a trap, now is not the time to think about those plots, she still has to find a way to escape from here.

"Is there anyone, I am wronged, come here, I want to redress my injustice."

Ziluo tried her best and yelled loudly, and finally attracted two jailers. She asked the jailers to see her family and told them that her family would thank them with a lot of money. She invited the people she wanted to meet.

But after waiting for two days, the person she wanted to see still did not come.At this moment, Ziluo was completely desperate, her eyes were empty, she was curled up in a corner of the prison, dying, she already knew that she was about to be sent to a desolate area to do hard labor, it was theft, but to bear such a heavy punishment, someone must have done it on purpose To punish her.

Early the next morning, Zi Luo was taken out of the prison by several guards, and escorted to the place where she went to work. Zi Luo staggered for a while, and suddenly several figures passed by, and the dizzy Zi Luo heard the sound of fighting, Then he woke up suddenly, and observed what happened. It turned out that several masked men were fighting with those prison guards. Could it be that they wanted to rob her? Thinking of this, Zi Luo actually regained his energy.

In the end, several jailers were defeated, and Ziluo was taken away by those masked men.

"Big butler!"

Seeing the only life-saving straw that he had identified in his heart, Zi Luo collapsed from excitement and broke down in tears.

"It's okay, thank you for thinking of me, but I'm afraid that someone will find out who is behind the scenes, so it's inconvenient to come forward directly, so when someone found me, I could only pretend that I didn't know you, but since you mentioned me, I Presumably they will be monitored as well.”

The butler helped Ziluo up, and said with a frown.

"I'm sorry, I, it turned out that I hurt you."

Hearing what the housekeeper said, Ziluo felt very guilty.

"It's okay, we are now at a stalemate. There is a maid named Shuju in the Wu Mansion. She is the daughter adopted by Zhui'er's parents. Later, there was an accident in the family and she couldn't afford it, so she was sent to the imperial concubine's natal family to be a maid. Afterwards, Zhui'er found me and wanted her to work in Zhao's Mansion, and soon went to Wu's Mansion as a dowry maid, but the strange thing is that a few years later, she became the second lady's personal maid. In fact, this matter has nothing to do with us , just a while ago, the emperor suddenly sent someone to secretly investigate the Wu Mansion, I also paid attention and sent someone to investigate."

There was a bump, and the carriage shook violently.

"After my investigation, the current second lady was introduced by the eldest lady. In order to control her, I put Shuju next to the second lady, but what I didn't expect was that Shuju finally became one with the second lady, and the emperor investigated the Wu family. It's because Mr. Zhao put a royal item in her daughter's dowry when her daughter got married, which can be directly used as evidence of his rebellion. The eldest lady found out that the emperor was investigating this matter. Just when you came to Wu's mansion, she Order Shuju to use your hands to take that thing out, but now they don’t admit that it is theirs, and instead framed it as you taking it out of the palace when you fled.”

The big butler's words shocked Zi Luo, and he was speechless for a while, just staring blankly at the nothingness.

"But now the emperor doesn't mean to drive you to death, he is probably still waiting and watching."

The butler continued.

"Shuju!"

Ziluo's consciousness was still lingering at Shuju, and said these two words lightly.

"Oh, you said Shuju, he is actually the child daughter-in-law adopted by Zhuo'er's family. Although he didn't become the daughter-in-law of Zhuo'er's family in the end, he should transfer his dissatisfaction with his life experience to her, so he made friends with Zhuo'er. Good friends will also be implicated."

Zi Luo quietly listened to the big housekeeper's words, and sighed for a long time.

Thank you for your support, I wish you all a happy new year! !
