Noble Lady

Master Chen and his group had already gone far away.

However, Liu was in great shock and could not recover for a long time.

"Mother Huang, did you hear clearly what Master Chen just said?"

"..." How could Huang Mama dare to say anything? But under Liu's terrifying gaze, she could only bite the bullet and say, "Old Madam, maybe, maybe you just... heard it wrong..."

Everyone could see how guilty she was when she said this.

They also heard what Master Chen said just now. It was the Cui family who filed a complaint.

"It's the Cui family, it's Cui Hua! It's him!" Liu cursed again, gritting her teeth. "How could this heartless bastard go to Jingzhao Prefecture to sue Dalang? We are family!"

Huang's mother: Now you think of us as a family? When your son killed someone's unborn child and nearly killed his wife, why didn't you think of us as a family?

She is the biological mother of the second aunt, but she has never visited her and asked about the second aunt's condition for so long. She doesn't act like a mother at all. She might even think that the child is not hers.

Now that He Minzhi has been sued, she only knows how to say that she and Cui's son-in-law are a family. How can she have the nerve to say such things?

If Mother Huang's indenture was not still in Liu's hands, she would have rolled her eyes to the sky.

Even the servant at the door couldn't stand it anymore: I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone so shameless.

No one dared to listen to what the old lady said.

"Mother Huang, what do you think we should do?" Mrs. Liu was at a loss for a moment, with all kinds of thoughts flashing through her mind, but she couldn't grasp any of them.

Did she do something wrong in this matter of Ruyi?

If she had known that such a bastard would cause such a disaster, she should have aborted that bastard with a bowl of abortion pills right then!

I originally wanted to use the Cui family to move to a higher level, but now things look different.

What should I do in the future after making such a powerful enemy?

Huang Mama, whose sleeve was being pulled, said: "How should I know? I'm just a servant! I only get a little over one or two taels of silver a month. You still expect me to take the knife for you at such a critical moment?"

It's simply wishful thinking.

She appeared bitter and resentful on the surface, and was speechless in her heart, but her bond was held by someone, so she could only be a servant.

He said a few more words of comfort that were of no use.

For example, "Maybe things aren't as bad as the old lady imagined. Maybe there will be a turn for the better."

"Our master has always been blessed with good fortune. Who knows, this is just a calamity in his life, and there will be a noble person to help him, and from now on, the clouds will clear and the moon will appear."

Another example: "The He family has three generations of Hanlin scholars. To put it nicely, the son-in-law of the Cui family is a member of the Cui family. To put it bluntly, he only has a little fame and does not even have an official position. Moreover, the Cui family has not come forward to recognize him. Could it be that Jingzhao Prefecture is in the hands of Lord Mei, so his face is greater than that of our master, a seventh-rank official in the Hanlin Academy?"

She didn't know whether Mrs. Liu was comforted by her nonsense, but she didn't believe it anyway.

After a while, Liu slowly said, "Maybe there really is a turning point. Fourth Master Yu..." Yes, there is also Fourth Master Yu.

Isn’t this the biggest turning point?

Mother Huang: I’m really talking nonsense!

However, Liu narrowed her eyes seriously and suddenly ordered, "Mother Huang, call Aunt Zhao to the room to wait for me."

An idea seemed to flash through Mother Huang's mind, but Mrs. Liu urged her to leave, so she could only leave in a hurry.

Not long after.

Xiao Cao received the message from Huang Mama and was stunned for a moment. "Did the old lady say what it was about?"

"No." Madam Huang answered simply, "Aunt Zhao, please go with me."

"Okay, please wait outside for a moment, Madam Huang, while I change my clothes."

Mother Huang looked at her and saw that she was only wearing simple home clothes, which was indeed inappropriate for her to go out, so she didn't say much and went to the door to wait.

As soon as the door closes.

Xiaocao immediately pulled Chunhua aside and said, "People from Jingzhao Prefecture just came. The old lady called me over at this time. It must be bad news. Be smart and don't follow her into the house. If the situation gets bad, go to Furong Residence and ask the lady for help immediately."

"Don't worry, Auntie. It was Auntie who helped Chunhua in the beginning. Even if Chunhua sacrifices her life, she will not let the old lady succeed."

Xiaocao nodded, but still couldn't help feeling worried.

After a while, Xiaocao changed into clothes suitable for going out and came out.

Next, we arrived at Ciwenyuan smoothly.

However, as soon as she entered the door, she smelled a strange fragrance and then lost consciousness.

Chunhua, who was following behind her, saw that the situation was not good and turned around to run, but was stopped by the servant.

He took advantage of the situation and knocked him unconscious with a stick.

……

After lunch, Chunya, another maidservant beside Xiaocao, came to Furongju and said, "Aunt Zhao wants Madam to come over. She has something important to discuss with you."

"What's so mysterious? Doesn't she usually tell Madam about it?" Yuzhu asked puzzled.

Chunya shook her head. She was about the same age as Yumei. Xue Chenyu had assigned her the position to Xiaocao when she was promoted to concubine. She had not been in the mansion for long and looked even less smart. There was a clear stupidity in her eyes.

Yuzhu knew that she was not smart. In the past, when she was with Aunt Zhao, she could only serve tea and water. If there was anything, Aunt Zhao would tell Chunhua.

So Yuzhu didn't make things difficult for her and just said, "My daughter has always had the habit of taking a nap. It's too hot in the afternoon and she doesn't like to go out. So let's wait until the evening."

"But, but..." Chunya looked embarrassed and refused to leave.

"But what?" Even if Yuzhu was a good-tempered person, she would still have a temper.

"Do you know where you are standing now? My daughter was married into the He family in a grand sedan chair with eight bearers, three letters and six ceremonies. Aunt Zhao is just a concubine in the mansion. It was my daughter who promoted her to be a concubine."

"And you are just Aunt Zhao's servant. My girl can decide your fate with just one word. If you don't want to be sold, get out of here!"

Chunya had tears in her eyes. She bit her lower lip and ran away.

After Chunya left, Yuzhu's eyes gradually became sharper, "Something's wrong."

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Qiu Hua stood behind her without knowing when.

Yuzhu glanced at her and said, "There's something wrong with Aunt Zhao. There's also something wrong with this maid called Chunya. Usually, when Aunt Zhao has something to say, it's Chunhua who comes to pass on the message. This is the first time Chunya has come to pass on the message. Something's very wrong."

Although she said this, she still reported Chunya's words verbatim to Xue Chenyu.

After saying that, he couldn't help but ask, "Miss, Aunt Zhao suddenly called you over at this time, is there something wrong?"

"There must be something. I won't know what it is until I meet the person." Xue Chenyu took a sip of tea slowly, smiling slightly as if nothing had happened.

Yuzhu frowned and said, "Miss, should we make any preparations? What if something unexpected happens to Aunt Zhao?"

To be honest, she felt in her heart that Aunt Zhao trusted Chunhua more.

If there was really something to say, he would definitely not let the maid who usually only serves tea and water come to deliver the message.

"No need, at most you're staying in the mansion and you won't be going out, so what can happen?" Xue Chenyu said and comforted her, "Don't think too much, nothing will happen."

This is equivalent to saying that something will definitely happen, but the outcome is unknown.

Qiuhua, Yumei, Xiahe and others standing nearby were already rubbing their hands in anticipation.

In the evening, the weather became a little cooler. Xue Chenyu finally changed her clothes, tied her hair into a simple bun, and went to look for Aunt Zhao casually.

……

In a trance, the grass touched something warm and woke up suddenly, and saw the spring flowers nearby.

"Chunhua, Chunhua?"

Chunhua moved slowly, and opened her eyes after a while. After a brief moment of confusion, she suddenly thought of something, "Auntie, hurry up!"

"We can't walk anymore." Xiaocao gestured to their bound hands and feet.

This place has all kinds of miscellaneous things, including piles of firewood. It is clearly the firewood room used to store miscellaneous items in the mansion.

Just as he was about to speak, the door of the woodshed was pushed open, and it was Mother Huang who brought in water and food.

"Aunt Zhao has always been very close to the Madam. The old Madam is afraid that you might become upset and tell her about it, so we can only ask you to rest here for a while." Mother Huang said earnestly.

So, Liu used her name to deceive the lady?

This old pious woman Liu was even more vicious than she thought!

At this time, Xue Chenyu had already walked to Xiaocao's door and was about to knock when the door suddenly opened by itself, and a hand reached out and pulled her in.
