After I traveled through the book, I fought back in the Hou Mansion

Chapter 73

Luo Shuiyao lowered her head, as if thinking about Lu Zhaozhao's words. After a moment, she raised her head and said, "Sister Zhao, if I become a concubine, my aunt will definitely be unhappy, right?"

Lu Zhaozhao narrowed her eyes slightly, then said seriously: "Sister, how could Auntie stop you from seeking happiness? You've married well. She naturally won't say anything. You have to believe what Sister says. Only Sister Zhao treats you best, do you understand?"

Lu Zhaozhao's words and actions made Luo Shuiyao look at her with new eyes. She actually knew PUA! It was no wonder that the original owner foolishly fell for it. Faced with someone as scheming as Lu Zhaozhao, most people would be easily fooled by her sweet words.

But unfortunately, Luo Shuiyao is not an ordinary person.

Luo Shuiyao smiled politely at her, her eyes full of admiration as she complimented her, "Sister Zhao, you're amazing! You've been so kind to me, and I used to think you were petty and narrow-minded, unworthy of being a lady from a noble family, and had a problem with me. It turns out it was all a misunderstanding."

There was a hint of flattery in her words, as if she was really moved by Lu Zhaozhao's "good intentions"

Lu Zhaozhao: “…?”

Lu Zhaozhao was instantly enraged and used all his strength in his hands. Luo Shuiyao quickly pulled her hand away, but Lu Zhaozhao missed and her sharp nails scratched his hand, breaking the skin on his fingers.

Her expression froze, her face turning cold. "Since the things have been delivered, I'll be leaving now. If you don't want to embarrass yourself, you must remember to wear that dress, and don't forget to wear the jade pendant, so as not to embarrass your aunt."

After saying that, she put on a gentle smile again, but that smile did not reach her eyes.

At this moment, Chun Xing walked in from outside. In her arms was a pile of freshly washed clothes, which were piled high, almost completely blocking her view.

When Lu Zhaozhao saw Chun Xing walking towards her, she quickly moved aside in disgust. Hongying reacted quickly and immediately stood in front of Lu Zhaozhao, trying to stop Chun Xing from approaching her young lady.

However, Chun Xing seemed not to have seen them at all and continued walking straight forward. Hong Ying was bumped by Chun Xing and her body shook violently. She staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"What's wrong with you? Don't you have eyes? Instead of walking on the right path, you run straight into my young lady? Are you here to bully my young lady because she is too easy to talk to?" Hongying glared and scolded loudly.

Chun Xing was so frightened by the roar that she quickly lowered her head, muttering, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Seeing this, Luo Shuiyao hurried forward and asked with concern, "Sister Zhao, are you okay?"

A hint of coldness flashed in Lu Zhaozhao's eyes. She glared at Chun Xing fiercely first, then glanced at Luo Shuiyao. Her lips curled up slightly, and she said with a hint of sarcasm, "It's nothing. It's just that the maids in your yard are too vulgar. Why don't you tell your aunt to choose some new maids to serve you? Don't make them all look like country women with no manners at all."

After saying that, she left with Hongying without waiting for Luo Shuiyao to answer.

Luo Shuiyao looked at Lu Zhaozhao's departing back and sneered in her heart.

"Miss." Chun Xing walked quickly forward, placed the clothes in her arms on the table, and called out to Luo Shuiyao.

Hearing the voice, Luo Shuiyao withdrew her gaze and walked towards Chun Xing.

After Lu Zhaozhao and her maidservant left the courtyard, Nanny Zhang immediately closed the door. At this time, only the master and her servants were left in the courtyard.

Chun Xing turned her hand over, revealing a bean green purse embroidered with plum blossoms.

Luo Shuiyao reached out to take it, gently stroking the delicate patterns on it, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a barely noticeable smile.

Then, she called over Aunt Zhang, handed her the purse, and whispered, "Go ask Zhao Cheng to give it to Wang Gousheng."

Nanny Zhang took the purse respectfully and nodded, "I'll give it to Cheng'er when I have time tonight, and ask him to give it to Wang Gousheng overnight."

Luo Shuiyao nodded, "Madam, please make the arrangements."

Du Juan had just been scolded by Luo Shuiyao and went to make tea for Lu Zhaozhao, so she hurried to the kitchen to boil water. When she boiled the water, she came out and found that Lu Zhaozhao had left.

She looked at the box of gold and silver jewelry and the beautiful clothes on the table and said in disbelief, "I didn't expect Miss Lu to be such a nice person. She actually sent me so many good things."

"Pa!" Nanny Zhang slapped her on the back of the head, leaving Dujuan stunned.

Nanny Zhang glared at her, "How can you be so naive, little girl? Lu Zhaozhao must have bad intentions. Why would he give such valuable things to you for no reason?"

Du Juan covered her head with her hands, her face full of grievance, "But, but these things are really good."

Nanny Zhang snorted coldly, "The more valuable it is, the more problematic it is. Think about it carefully, is Lu Zhaozhao usually a good person? She must have some ulterior motive for sending these things so suddenly."

Dujuan frowned and nodded, not quite understanding.

Luo Shuiyao watched quietly as Aunt Zhang trained Du Juan with a calm expression, and did not say a word to stop her. This girl was simple and naive, and living in this deep house, she needed to be taught well, and Aunt Zhang was undoubtedly a good candidate for training.

Nanny Zhang looked at the pile of jewelry and clothes, feeling worried, wondering what Lu Zhaozhao was planning.

Then, she turned to Luo Shuiyao and asked, "Miss, let me put these things away for you. Please don't leave them in the room. Don't put anything harmful in there."

Nanny Zhang sounded worried. At her age, she had been working in the inner court for most of her life, so she naturally knew how treacherous people were. These sudden appearance of valuable items might very well be hiding some ulterior motive.

Luo Shuiyao smiled and shook her head, and did not answer what Aunt Zhang said. Instead, she walked forward and carefully picked up the gold hairpins in the box, checking them one by one. There was neither a hollow part nor anything that should not be wiped on them.

Then she turned her gaze to the dress, shook it open, and looked at it. She said to Aunt Zhang, "Since she gave it to me and wanted me to wear it, then I will wear it. You and a few maids should wash it thoroughly today and sew it again with embroidery thread, just in case. Then put it away. I will wear this on the day of the welcoming banquet."

Nanny Zhang hesitated to speak, wanting to persuade her, but she felt that she was just a servant.

Then she just sighed and thought, that was all. At most, she would check it out again. She still didn't believe that she, an old woman with decades of experience, couldn't see what the little girl was doing.

Luo Shuiyao didn't know what was in Aunt Zhang's mind. If she knew, she would definitely laugh at Aunt Zhang and say: You really can't see that. After all, the heroine is playing the most high-end game of flattery.
