Chapter 73 The real daughter, she quit (19)

Butler Wu outside the main hall responded quickly, and brought him inside the house shortly after, making him kneel in the center.

That Mrs. Liu looked quite old, with wrinkled face and gray hair combined with that trembling appearance, how pitiful it was.

"Mrs. Liu, why don't you hurry up and tell me, what did Sister Zhen ask you to do?" Zhao said in a mocking tone.

Mrs. Liu opened her eyelids with some fear and quickly glanced at Wu Jinzhen who was not far away, but after all, she was a servant of the University Scholars Mansion, and it was still possible to figure out who the real master was. The next second she fell on the ice-cold On the floor tiles, it clearly explained the ins and outs of the matter.

"A few days ago, Ms. Zhen gave the old slave a few taels of silver, saying that she was asking the old slave to help deliver something. The old slave was really blinded by the money, and agreed after a little hesitation. I thought it was a one-time transaction. , but I didn’t expect that Ms. Zhen would use this matter to threaten the old slave later, saying that if I don’t do it, she will go to the madam to sue..."

"In order to protect myself, the old slave could only continue to help her deliver and collect things. Not long after that, Miss Zhen gave the old slave some jewelry in order to seal the old slave's mouth."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the old lady and Wu Xiuyuan were a little astonished, as if they had never expected Wu Jinzhen to be so bold.

Holding back her anger, Zhao asked again: "Do you know the person who has been passing things to you outside the residence these days?"

"At first, I didn't know each other. Later, because the other party always came over on a fixed day and at a fixed time, the old slave would chat with him occasionally. Once, the old slave accidentally saw the pattern embroidered on his cuff , so I can confirm that he should be a servant of the Zhou family." Mrs. Liu responded obediently.

"Which Zhou mansion?" Zhao asked.

"Of course it's Zhou Xiuzhuan's residence."

Mrs. Zhao glared angrily at Wu Xiucai's family on the opposite side, her voice was as cold as ice, "Sister Zhen, oh sister Zhen, you dare to flirt with a foreigner and get involved, it's a good thing that I have been involved in this matter." If you found out first, if other people in Beijing see it first, you don't care about your reputation, so you want to hurt the reputation of your two cousins?!"

Facing the questioning, Wu Jinzhen's eyes turned red, and she exerted a little strength in her hand holding the corner of her mother's clothes.

Mrs. Song immediately sneered, rolled her eyes and said in a tone of voice: "Hey, the second family, you made such a fuss today, what is your intention?"

"I know, since the first day we came to Beijing, you have been very uncomfortable. But you can understand that we are not relatives who hit the autumn wind, we are here to see the old lady! As long as the mother is here, the family When it's your turn, you can do whatever you want?"

"Let's be smart people don't speak dark words, and you don't need to find these maids, women, and housekeepers to slander Miss Zhen. They all take your monthly money. We don't want to continue with such baseless accusations. .”

Xu Shi had known for a long time that Song Shi had an unreasonable and three-pointed personality, and Zhao Shi was not so provoked that he lost his mind, but just winked at Butler Wu.

Wu Butler took out a letter from his arms knowingly, and bent forward to present it to Wu Xiuyuan.

Unknown to Wu Xiuyuan, he took it in and opened the envelope. Inside were two thin pages of letter paper and a handkerchief with a strong fragrance. The handkerchief was embroidered with small azalea flowers. It looked like a girl's personal belongings.

"Master, Butler Wu found out earlier that Mrs. Liu by the side door was secretly passing things out of the mansion. He thought it was a spy in the mansion. In order to prevent your study from losing any important things, he blocked the letter. Come down." Mrs. Zhao explained, and then showed a half-smile at Mrs. Song.

"The handwriting can't be faked. If you think about it, your eldest brother and sister-in-law will naturally recognize the handwriting written by sister Zhen."

After the words fell, Wu Xiucai and Song Shi choked up instantly, unable to think of anything to argue for.

The old lady raised her chin slightly at the nanny beside her, and after the nanny took the two pieces of letter paper from Wu Xiuyuan, she glanced at them, and then said slowly: "There are only two letters on the left. How big of a deal is it that a young man walked closer and was discovered by your aunt?"

"Besides, I also know about Zhou Zhoulang. Some time ago, I told my second son that I fell in love with the fourth son of the Zhou family on behalf of sister Zhen. Now that the children are interested in each other, you can start from the second son's family. I did it for Sister Zhen."

As soon as these words came out, it was obvious that the old lady's heart was going to the sky.

Even if Mrs. Zhao had a plan in mind, she still almost couldn't catch her breath at this moment, suffocating in place.

After calming down for a while, she frowned and opened her mouth: "Mother! Sister Zhen almost brought Haiyao and Sister Rou into trouble! Aren't they two your granddaughters?"

"Isn't this not implicated?" The old lady shouted angrily: "If you keep yelling like this, the whole city will know that you are really hurting your two daughters! The best solution now That is, you go to the gate of the Zhou Mansion in person, and let them hurry up to propose marriage and marry Sister Zhen back."

"I'm not going!" Mrs. Zhao was so angry that she flicked the handkerchief in her hand, and half turned her body in a fit of anger.

This may be the first time she has spoken back to her mother-in-law openly in all the years since she entered the house.

"You...you... Xiuyuan!" The old lady immediately turned her head to Wu Xiuyuan who was sitting there, spitting and accusing: "Look at what your wife is like now? I beg you, old lady." Is it a big deal for her? Unfilial! Simply unfilial!"

At this time, Mrs. Song, who was supported by the old lady, also recovered her bitter and mean face, and stepped forward two steps not to be outdone: "Second brother, don't look at me. I don't know your careful thinking. This week Shiro, you want to leave it to your daughter, right? That’s why you don’t want to stand up for our sister Zhen.”

"My poor sister Zhen~ there is such a cruel aunt, why don't you take you up the mountain tomorrow to twist your hair and become a sister-in-law!"

Wu Jinzhen, who was held in her arms by her mother, also raised her neck and yelled: "Even if my aunt fell in love with Mr. Zhou Zhou and wanted to marry Mrs. Haiyao, Mr. Zhou did not look at Mrs. Shanghai Yao at all. , he only likes me!"

"It's fine if my aunt doesn't help me to go to the Zhou Mansion to make peace. Mr. Zhou also said it today. He will naturally discuss with Mrs. Zhou to propose marriage when he returns home. Aunt's plan will come to naught after all!"

"Okay, since sister Zhen is so capable, she won't need me." Mrs. Zhao sneered, turned around and left after saying this.

Seeing this, Haiyao and Wu Jinrou rushed to accuse the other people in the main hall, and chased them out without delay.It's a pity that Mrs. Zhao moved too fast. By the time the two of them left the gate of Fuyuan, there was no sign of each other on that path.

"My mother is probably out of temper, and so is my cousin. She spoke too directly." Wu Jinrou opened his mouth with a half-smile, and turned his face to look at the people around him: "It's just poor big sister, you, this week Ieshiro is originally a mother for you...you must be very sad, right?"

Hearing this, Haiyao didn't respond immediately, but suddenly stopped and looked at the other party.

In the night, her eyes were like stars in the sky, a little surprisingly bright.

In addition, the surrounding area was too dark, so it was difficult to see what expression she was showing at this time, Wu Jinrou stepped back half a step uneasy: "Big sister?"
