The daily life of the concubine of the Prime Minister

Madam Li said nothing. After Madam Zhou had vented her anger, she asked, "Madam, what should we do now? I went to the brothel, but the people there wouldn't let me see the young master at all."

Mrs. Zhou was so angry that she threw another cup at Mrs. Li:

"Useless trash..." She calmed down for a while and ordered: "Go find the butler and ask him to go with you. If he doesn't let you go, destroy that place for me..."

She just didn't believe that such a lowly place could turn things around.

Mother Li immediately withdrew and took Zhou's housekeeper with her, a group of dozens of people, to the brothel.

The madam saw that the visitor had bad intentions, so she stopped trying to stop him and even kindly announced the room number: "Room 3, first room on the left, but only the person you are talking to can enter."

The housekeeper quickly went upstairs, found the room according to the madam's instructions, and knocked on the door.

"Come in." A confused male voice came from the room.

The butler frowned, hesitated, and pushed forward.

Guan came out very quickly, still alone, with a red slap mark on his face.

"Butler Zhou..." Mother Li hesitated and asked, "Where is the eldest son?"

The anger on Butler Zhou's face disappeared in an instant, and he looked at Mother Li with gloomy eyes.

Mother Li’s voice suddenly stopped and she shuddered.

Why is he glaring at her? It wasn't her who hit him.

However, this feeling was so fast that it seemed like it was just Mother Li's illusion. Butler Zhou had returned to his usual kindness.

He smiled and replied, "The Master said he would not go back."

"But..." Mother Li had a feeling that Butler Zhou was lying to her.

But when she saw that half of Butler Zhou's face was swollen, she gave up the idea of ​​going up.

Anyway, when I go back, I can just put the blame on Butler Zhou.

So when Butler Zhou turned around and left, Mother Li followed him without any hesitation and left the brothel.

Looking at their backs, the madam said loudly, "I've already told you not to go up because it's for your own good, but you just won't listen..."

Until the footsteps could no longer be heard and the shadow disappeared into the night, the madam said with disdain: "You want to block my way to wealth? No way..."

It took her a lot of effort to lure the young master of the Zhou family to their building.

Mrs. Zhou couldn't wait any longer, so she quickly walked out of the yard and waited at the gate of the inner courtyard.

Seeing Butler Zhou coming back, he hurriedly went to greet him anxiously.

Mother Li immediately pushed the blame onto Butler Zhou.

"Madam, the eldest son refuses to come back. He will go to the Chen Mansion for a banquet tomorrow. Let Madam take care of it." Butler Zhou conveyed Zhou Huaian's attitude truthfully.

Mrs. Zhou was furious: "You little bastard, you have grown wings. If he says he won't come back, then he will come back. Today, I will tie him up and bring him back..."

Mrs. Zhou uttered a lot of harsh words, and finally, she waved her hand and asked Butler Zhou to leave.

Forget it, I'll go and get them tomorrow morning! There's still time anyway.

Mrs. Zhou returned to her own courtyard to rest.

They didn't know that because of her decision, not only would they not receive the person tomorrow, but the Chen Mansion would also offend the Chen family.

A dreamless night.

On the second day, the Chen family's kitchen started to get busy early, killing chickens and ducks, and carrying bird's nests, shark fins and other good things to the kitchen without hesitation.

Because early in the morning, a servant from the Zhou family came and told the Chen Mansion that not only Mrs. Zhou would come, but Uncle Zhou would also come.

As soon as Liu Yu woke up, he heard the news.

She felt puzzled. Just come if you want to! She also sent someone to tell them.

Afraid that others didn't know how much the Zhou family valued the Chen family.

Since things can't be stopped,

After Liu Yu finished washing up, he went to the front hall to wait for someone from the Zhou family.

Also going with her was Mr. Chen San, who had specially asked for leave and did not attend the morning court.

They waited until noon, and the people who went to urge for the third time all came back.

The breakfast is ready, the kitchen is hot and hot...

"That's too much." The old lady slammed the table loudly.

She touched Chen Xiyao's hand lovingly and asked Liu Yu who was waiting beside her:

"Yu'er, what do you say about the servants who are going to Zhou's house? Will they come or not?"

“They said they would come…”

"Okay, then we'll wait for them for another half an hour. If they don't come, there's no need to wait any longer."

Time passed little by little, and half an hour promised by the old lady had passed.

Not to mention Master Zhou, even Young Master Zhou and Madam Zhou were nowhere to be seen.

"This is too much. You simply don't take the Chen family seriously." The old lady, who was always good-tempered, was really angry this time. She asked Mr. Chen San, who was still waiting in the front yard, to call Shou'an Hall and Mr. Chen Wu.

"Her third brother, your sister cannot be humiliated like this. Since you can't hire a servant, then you should go to Zhou Mansion and invite someone in person." The old lady looked at her little daughter who had been specially dressed up in front of her, and she couldn't suppress her anger.

The Zhou family had better have a reason, otherwise she would do anything to restore her daughter’s dignity.

"Yes." Master Chen San and Master Chen Wu left Shou'an Hall. No one noticed that an inexplicable smile flashed across Master Chen San's face.

……

The atmosphere in the Zhou family was also very bad.

Master Zhou went to Zhou Zheng's yard with a grim look on his face.

"Why are you still at home? Why didn't you go to Chen's Mansion for me as I instructed?" Looking at his eldest son below, Zhou Zheng's aura suddenly became sharp, with oppressive majesty.

Mr. Zhou had a lot of troubles! He told Zhou Zheng the news his wife had told him:

"Father, this time it's not that I didn't go, but it's that the Third Master Chen of the Chen family... went too far and didn't take you, my father, seriously."

"You mean the Chen family has people coming to their house and keeps postponing the time?"

Zhou Zheng frowned and asked, "Who told you this?"

Why did he find this matter so strange?

Logically speaking, this invitation was sent by his apprentice himself. Based on his understanding of his apprentice, such a thing should not have happened.

"Of course my son has met the people sent by the Chen family. Father, you don't know how arrogant the Chen family is..." Uncle Zhou became very angry when he thought of the attitude of the people sent by the Chen family.

When had the Zhou family ever suffered such humiliation and had to postpone the deadline again and again?

Zhou Zheng looked at his son. The anger on his face did not seem fake. He knew his son, and it seemed that this matter was most likely true.

But ever since Chen Zhihe escaped from his control, this kind of low-level thing that started off well but ended badly was simply not something Chen Zhihe could do.

So where did the mistake occur?

Uncle Zhou saw his father staring at him, and he didn't know whether he believed it or not.

"By the way, father, I still have the servant sent by the Chen Mansion in the mansion. If you don't believe me, go ask..."

Zhou Zheng nodded: "Then let's go and take a look." If he found out who was playing tricks on the Zhou family, he would make them pay a heavy price, including Chen Zhihe.

Mrs. Zhou, who was waiting for someone at the door of the brothel, suddenly felt a chill on her neck...
