Chapter 72 The real daughter, she quit (18)

Haiyao wasn't in a hurry, she just pretended she didn't know Wu Jinzhen's little tricks under her nose, but the paper couldn't contain the anger after all, and it was finally discovered by Zhao Shi.

It was one afternoon, Haiyao and Mrs. Zhao were embroidering purses while basking in the warm sun on the porch of Qingsongyuan.

At this moment, Butler Wu rushed in, and whispered in Zhao Shi's ear for a long time with an unattractive expression, Zhao's face darkened visibly with the naked eye: "Butler Wu, do you think this is absolutely true?"

"It's absolutely true." Butler Wu replied firmly: "It's been a while, Miss Tang left the mansion alone with her maid this morning on the grounds that she wanted to go to the rouge shop, and she hasn't come back yet. "

"Send someone to search in the city now, I want to see where this shameless little hoof is!" Zhao shivered with anger, but he did not forget not to lose his master's dignity in front of his servants.

It was only after Steward Wu took the order to leave in a hurry, and Qingqiu cleared out all the servants in the yard with various excuses, that she showed her restlessness in her heart, but she was worried about Haiyao on the other side, and held back very much. It's hard work.

Seeing this, Haiyao couldn't bear it, so she asked lightly: "What is it that upsets mother again? Could it be the woman in Luyuan who secretly bribed the side door and quietly handed things out to anger her?" you?"

When Mrs. Zhao heard this, the surprise in her heart overwhelmed her anger, and she turned her face in disbelief: "How did you know?"

"Two days ago, I was wandering around the mansion casually, and I saw it by accident." Haiyao didn't see any strange expression on her face, and she was still there concentrating on threading the needle: "I guess sister Zhen has taken a fancy to that Zhou Zhoulang. Right? Besides, when Zhou Zhou Lang saw her when he was at the doctor's residence that day, his face turned red!"

"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?" Mrs. Zhao reached out her hand and tapped her forehead vigorously, then she was about to get up: "Come here! Prepare the car!"

"I'd like to go to the Zhou mansion to ask for an explanation. What kind of virtue is her Zhou family? How dare Zhou Zhou look at the pot like this?"

Haiyao stopped him immediately: "Mother, you are confused! Has my marriage with Zhou Lang passed the light of day?"

Zhao shook her head.

"Or did you make any verbal promise with Mrs. Zhou?"

Mrs. Zhao still shook her head. This kind of matter was settled before she got to know the way and exchanged the birthdays of the two children. , Indeed, this matter has never been seriously discussed on the bright side.

"Since that's the case, what's wrong with the Zhou family? If my mother rushes to the door like this, she will make a big fuss and lose face. After today, she might become the laughing stock of the whole capital. My daughter really won't want to marry after that." Haiyao pushed Mrs. Zhao back on the chair in spite of everything.

What she said was purely to comfort the woman, after all, if Zhou Mansion and Zhou Zhou Lang were unwilling to this marriage, or if that Zhou Mansion didn't know about it, then there would be no such chance meeting in the advising doctor's mansion.If one is serious about it, Zhou Fu and Zhou Zhoulang are also worthy of a 'breach of faith'.

"Besides, a mere Zhou Zhoulang might be considered a good match if there is no such thing as Sister Zhen, but if he can do such a thing as sending letters to other girls in private... Even if his daughter is really married to him , I'm afraid I won't live in peace in this life."

Even if Zhou Zhou Lang was suppressed by Wu Xiuyuan and pretended to be good at the beginning, he was not willing after all, and it would be very troublesome if this situation turned back one day, it would be better not to wade into this muddy water.

"That's what I said, but after all, I can't swallow this breath in my heart!" Mrs. Zhao raised her hand and hammered her chest twice, all kinds of old memories came back, and new and old hatreds filled her mind. A buzzing sound was heard.

After busying himself for a while, he ended up making a wedding dress for someone else. Thinking of Wu Xiucai and Song Shi's complacent faces, Zhao Shi almost rolled his eyes and passed out.

Haiyao stepped forward to help the other party calm down: "If the mother feels that she is really aggrieved, the daughter has an immature idea, but she still needs the mother to come forward to delay Zhou's mansion for a while, don't let sister Zhen It's too early to get my wish."

Ok?
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhao opened her eyes, and looked suspiciously at the smiling daughter in front of her.

It was night, and the lights in Fuyuan were brightly lit.

The old lady sat tall and directly in front of the main hall, squinting her eyes and holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hands, while Wu Jinzhen shrank behind Wu Xiucai and Song Shi, with a vague dissatisfaction in her expression.

Mrs. Zhao just stayed quietly on the lower right side of the old lady. Although her face was sullen, she seemed to be calm and relaxed while drinking tea.

Haiyao and Wu Jinrou stood on both sides of Mrs. Zhao with their heads bowed, neither of them had any special expressions on their faces.

Especially Wu Jinrou, it is clear that what Wu Jinzhen did today could not be done without her being behind her, but she just kept herself out of the matter, with a kind of hidden pride of "retiring after success".

Finally, there was a sound of footsteps from the yard outside the main hall, as well as greetings from servants.

After a few breaths, Wu Xiuyuan came in with a calm face. After seeing the situation in front of him clearly, the wrinkles between his brows deepened: "Mother is well."

The man saluted the old lady perfunctorily, and then sat in the first seat on the lower right side that Mrs. Zhao gave up when she got up, and then said in a low voice: "What happened to the mansion? It's so old. In the middle of the night, someone went to the Hanlin Academy and called me back?"

When the old lady heard this, she glared at Mrs. Zhao displeasedly: "It's no big deal, the second child's family, the second child is tired enough to solve problems for the Holy One in the Hanlin Academy every day, why bother to use such a thing?" Small things disturb him?"

"Mother thinks this is a trivial matter?" Mrs. Zhao asked back, and then without saving face for the family opposite, she said directly: "Today, Butler Wu took his servants out of the house to buy together, but I didn't expect it to be in the Tianhe Restaurant. I knocked down sister Zhen and the fourth son of the Zhou family in a separate private room, and they are leaning against the window to enjoy the river view together in an intimate posture!"

"An unmarried girl in the boudoir dares to get so close to a foreigner without shame. Brother and sister-in-law are really good tutors."

When Wu Xiuyuan heard this, his brows twitched involuntarily. It seems that after the old lady mentioned the matter of the Zhou Mansion to him that day, the big house really fell in love.

"Butler Wu is just talking nonsense!" Mrs. Song hastily retorted: "It's not me, the sister-in-law, who is talking about you. The servants in your house really need to be disciplined. How can you grab a shadow? There is nothing wrong with slandering the master like this with empty teeth?"

Both inside and outside the words are accusing Zhao's lax management of the family.

"Slander?" Mrs. Zhao sneered, and immediately raised her voice, "Come here, bring up Mrs. Li who is guarding the side door!"

As soon as this remark came out, Wu Jinzhen, who had been staying behind her parents, suddenly turned pale, and subconsciously grabbed the corner of Song's clothes with her right hand.
