farmer's wife

Chapter 163
How many undisclosed talents does his wife have? !

Xiao Lie went back to find Fu Yan with the news.

On the early morning of the [-]th day, Xiao Lie and Fu Yan followed Ye An to the reserved restaurant box and waited.

Mrs. Zhou and others took things in the shop and then separated to buy.

While she was alone, a servant hurriedly approached and whispered in Mrs. Zhou's ear: "This lady stay here, my wife has an invitation from the upstairs restaurant."

Madam Zhou subconsciously hugged her little basket tightly.

Who is this person?

Thinking of this, she also asked the same question, Mrs. Zhou frowned and said: "Who is your wife? What can you do with me?"

The servant replied respectfully and politely: "An old man, my lady will know you when you come up with me."

Seeing that Mrs. Zhou was a little nervous, the servant said again: "Miss Zhou, you don't need to worry, it's just a chat in the restaurant, it won't waste much time."

Mrs. Zhou secretly looked at the well-dressed servant in front of her. It seemed that she came from a wealthy family, and she didn't look like someone who did evil.The windows of the private room on the second floor of the restaurant next door are also open, and it is bright and normal.Looking around again, Mrs. Zhou always felt that there were still a few passers-by around them quietly observing them.

There are yamen servants patrolling the streets in Yunjing City, she doesn't believe that there are still people who dare to commit murder in broad daylight.

She clenched the basket tightly in her hand and said in a low voice, "Since it's an invitation from an old friend, I'll ask this little brother to lead the way."

"Miss Zhou, come with me."

Mrs. Zhou anxiously followed the boy to the inner box on the second floor.

Ye An, who was waiting quietly outside the box, raised his head to see them coming up, turned around and knocked on the door lightly: "Master Biao, Mrs. Biao, people are here."

Xiao Lie came over and opened the box door.

Seeing a tall man who opened the door, Mrs. Zhou took two steps back.

Xiao Lie came out and let her in.Today is Fu Yan and Mrs. Zhou inquiring about the news. He is not familiar with him, so he will not be there as a company.

"Miss Zhou is here? Come in quickly." Inside the room, a soft female voice sounded familiar.

Lady Zhou walked in, Xiao Lie closed the door for them.

Inside the room, a pretty young lady was standing by the table, looking at her with a smile on her face.

It's Miss Shuizhu!
"Shuizhu?" Mrs. Zhou put down the basket in her arms in surprise, and strode up to Fu Yan. She grabbed her hand excitedly and looked up and down, "It's really you!"

She will not remember such a pretty and vivid person.

"It's me. I really can't come to visit, so I can only invite Mrs. Zhou to come over and talk about it. I hope Mrs. Zhou will not blame you. If there is any disrespect, I will use tea instead of wine to make amends for you."

Fu Yan pulled Mrs. Zhou to sit down, poured her a cup of tea with a smile, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Hearing what she said, and thinking about Mrs. Fang's butler in the mansion, Mrs. Zhou understood what she meant.

"You girl, don't do this to me." She stretched her brows, looked at Fu Yan and smiled, "If you just say that you are looking for me, I will come here directly."

Mrs. Zhou: "The one who just went out?"

"It's my husband." Fu Yan introduced Xiao Lie generously.

"Oh, not bad, not bad, a good-looking talent. Nanny Li didn't lie to me."

Speaking of Nanny Li, Mrs. Zhou drank tea to moisten her tense throat just now, and said to Fu Yan, "Shuizhu, you came to me this time because you want to know about Missy and Nanny Li?"

Fu Yan nodded, and said unambiguously: "To be honest, I really want to know about the two of them. If there is someone in Zhao's mansion to inquire about the news, I can only think of you."

Mrs. Zhou put down her teacup, shook her head and sighed: "I'm afraid this will disappoint you. Miss left in a hurry, and I don't know much about it."

Fu Yan: "No problem, I hope Mrs. Zhou will let you know."

Mrs. Zhou recalled what happened in the mansion when she first arrived in Yunjing, and then she spoke eloquently:
"It wasn't long before we settled in Yunjing. The eldest lady brought Nanny Li and the maids around her to visit her natal family. It's normal, you don't have to visit relatives once you return to Beijing."

Fu Yan nodded.

Mrs. Zhou continued: "I don't know if it's because of my grandmother's concern. The eldest lady has lived in Zheng's house for more than a month. Then one day they hurried back to the mansion to pack up their things, and set off for the northwest early the next morning. I want to serve Aunt Zheng's illness."

"You said the Zheng family is the same, why did we let our lady go to that bitter cold place! We have just returned to Yunjing not long ago, and we don't know if the eldest lady and Nanny Li can bear it all this way."

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhou murmured: "This incident was too sudden. When I found out, the eldest lady had already left. I didn't even see Li Nanny's face."

Fu Yan was thoughtful.It seems that Zhao Yunyan's decision to go to the Northwest was indeed decided suddenly.

She turned to mention another matter: "I heard that the third lady in the house is engaged?"

The four children of the Zhao family were born together in the family.Zhao Yunyu is the third child and the second girl in the family.She was a concubine, the same age as the fourth young lady Zhao Yunmeng, and her birthday was earlier, but she was brought up to be obedient, and she was the little follower of the fourth younger sister.

Mrs. Zhou nodded: "Yes. The third lady has been appointed to Fang Sanlang, the second wife of the prime minister's Fang family. The dowry has already been paid, but the marriage will have to wait for another two years."

That's the prime minister's house!The Zhao family's marriage was considered a high-profile affair, and the maids and women in the mansion discussed it for a while, envious of the aunt, Mrs. Fang, who arranged a good marriage for the third young lady.

Since the marriage was settled, Miss San and her aunt have flattered Mrs. Fang even more.

but……

Thinking of the news she had heard from the maid next to Mrs. Fang, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but move closer to Fu Yan, wanting to say something.

She looked around.

Fu Yan raised her eyebrows, and said in a warm voice: "Ms. Zhou has something to say, but it's okay to say it. After going out of this door, I guarantee that no outsider will know what you said when you met us today."

Mrs. Zhou waved her hand: "Hey, I don't know anything important, I'm just chatting about a few rumors."

She still lowered her voice and said: "I was chatting with the maidservant next to Madam once, and she slipped her tongue. She said that Madam originally wanted our young lady to meet Fangfu, and the master didn't mind at first. One day After Mr. Ri returned to the mansion, he locked himself in the room with his wife to talk about the matter, and then the two had a big quarrel, and after that, our third lady got married."

Fu Yan's hands under the table were tightly clasped together, and she looked straight at Mrs. Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou coughed: "It was said that it was the eldest lady who saw each other. No one in the mansion knew about it. I also knew it by accident. After the close maid realized that I had made a slip of the tongue, I also hurriedly ensured that I had nothing. Hear it. So the news should be eight or nine percent true."

Fu Yan's heart seemed to be pressed by a stone, and even her breathing was a little heavy.
