Chapter 257 I’ll send you back the day after tomorrow!
I want to know what's going on. Is there something wrong at home and they're going to raid the house?
Some of them were already alert and started packing their bags while waiting. They stuffed their exquisite and practical gold jewelry, head ornaments, and other personal items into their clothes and packed them up.
It seems like he is ready to run away if the situation goes wrong.
Fu Zhiming and Zhao had no energy to deal with these concubines and maids at this moment.
Those who were impatient had them sent back to their rooms.
On the other hand, Huang, who gave birth to Jie, relied on her doting status and was encouraged by the other concubines to shout outside without caring about anything: "Third Master, Jie has been taken away and hasn't been sent back yet. Did something happen to him? Jie is my lifeblood. If anything happens to him, I won't be able to live anymore—"
The voice was sharp and thin, with a crying tone, and it instantly cut through the night sky, causing a small commotion in the entire Lanyue Courtyard.
Fu Zhiming was suppressing his anger to begin with, and now seeing Huang's behavior, he felt even more ashamed.
Filled with rage, she immediately directed her anger at Zhao: "As the mistress, is this how you control your daughter? Why don't you go out and stop her? You're letting her continue crying and making a scene outside. Don't you think our Lanyue Courtyard is shameful enough?"
When Zhao came out of Ruixuan Hall, she was a little dazed.
After returning to the room, she sat in a chair in a daze. Even though her aunt Huang was making such a fuss outside, she didn't react at all.
At this moment, he was scolded in the face by Fu Zhiming, and was secretly pushed by the maid Yinzhu beside him, before he came to his senses.
Her eyes were tired. "That's Jie Ge'er's aunt. Didn't Third Master always tell me to be more tolerant and not to bother with her? This is all Third Master's fault. I don't have the ability to control Aunt Huang! If Third Master doesn't like it, go and tell her yourself!"
"I'm tired, Yinzhu. Ask someone to bring some water so I can wash up and rest."
After saying that, he stood up and went into the inner room without looking back.
Yinzhu and Jinzhu looked at each other, bowed to Fu Zhiming, and hurriedly followed him in.
Fu Zhiming didn't expect that Zhao would actually give him the cold shoulder, and he became even angrier.
He was feeling angry in his heart. Could it be that he had some complaints against him because he saw that he was punished?
Humph, what kind of good person is Zhao? Didn't she also embezzle money and cook the books?
They are both embarrassed as a couple. He hasn't even looked down on Zhao, so how dare she look down on him?
Hearing Aunt Huang's voice outside getting louder and louder, Fu Zhiming stamped his feet, lifted the curtain and walked out.
As soon as he came out, Aunt Huang pounced on him.
Fu Zhiming was quick-witted and quick-footed. He quickly took two steps to the side and avoided Aunt Huang.
Aunt Huang couldn't stop herself and almost hit the door frame, but luckily she caught herself.
Turning around, she complained delicately: "Third Master——"
Fu Zhiming was too lazy to waste time talking to these concubines and maids, and simply said, "Everyone, go back to your rooms! If I hear anyone crying or making a fuss, I'll sell them out!"
With just one word, the concubines and maids dared not say a word.
Aunt Huang was anxious: "Third Master, Brother Jie——"
Fu Zhiming snorted coldly, "Brother Jie has been taken away by the old lady, and he will naturally be sent back tomorrow! What are you worried about? Brother Lun was taken away with Brother Jie, and he hasn't come back either, and I haven't seen your Third Grandma crying! What's wrong? Are you worried that the old lady will treat Brother Jie badly?"
Aunt Huang couldn't stand hearing this. Her pretty face turned pale and she kept saying she didn't dare. She didn't dare to ask any more questions. She lowered her head and went back to her room in shame.
Zhao heard the noise outside in the inner room, curled her lips and gave a cold smile.
Before Fu Zhiming came in, she whispered a few words to Yinzhu.
Yinzhu was stunned, but quickly nodded in agreement.
When Fu Zhiming came in, Zhao had already gone to the next room to wash up.
After Zhao came out of the shower, Fu Zhiming also asked someone to bring her water for washing.
After finishing the work, I came out and saw that Zhao was already asleep on the couch.
Leave the bed to him.
Fu Zhiming's face darkened. Did he dislike him so much that he didn't even want to sleep in the same bed with him?
If you want to lose your temper, just leave.
But remembering what the old marquis said, that we were not allowed to step out of the yard, we had no choice but to swallow our anger.
I went to bed angrily and wrapped myself in the quilt, thinking I wouldn't be able to sleep.
But after tossing and turning for a long time and most of the night, it didn't take long before I started snoring loudly.
When Fu Zhiming fell asleep, Zhao's eyes suddenly opened, her eyes were clear and there was no trace of sleepiness.
Turning over, Zhao looked through the window at the small courtyard next door.
There were still a few lights on in the small courtyard next door, but after a while, those lights went out too.
All sounds are silent.
The maids serving outside were also asleep.
Zhao took advantage of the little light outside, dressed herself, casually tied her hair, wrapped herself in a thin cloak, and covered herself from head to toe in the cloak. Then she tiptoed out of the inner room.
Outside, Yinzhu lit a small lamp and was keeping watch.
Hearing the noise, he hurried forward to support Zhao and lowered his voice: "Third Madam, I have already made arrangements for the people, please be careful——"
Zhao nodded, and the two of them quietly left the house and walked to the gate of the yard.
The gate was not closed tightly, leaving a small gap.
Yinzhu gently and slowly opened the door until a gap was big enough for people to enter and exit. Zhao leaned sideways and squeezed out through the gap, disappearing into the darkness.
Seeing Zhao go out, Yinzhu left the door ajar. She didn't dare to go to bed, let alone walk around, for fear of being discovered.
I pricked up my ears to listen to the noise outside, then to the noise in the yard. It felt like two ears were not enough.
I finally heard the sound of the door of the small courtyard next door being opened and closed.
Yinzhu breathed a sigh of relief first.
Small cross yard.
The servants were all asleep, as there weren't many people in the small courtyard to begin with.
Today, Fu Shan brought people to search the area again. Some people were taken away for interrogation and have not returned yet.
Apart from the gatekeeper, there are Xiaoyu, Sixi and Qingmiao who serve Liu Sisi.
Qingmiao had received the news long ago and had been guarding the gate of the courtyard. When he heard the noise, he welcomed the person in.
The first thing Zhao asked when she entered the yard was, "Is my cousin asleep?"
Qingmiao lowered her voice, "Not yet. With all the commotion in the mansion today, my cousin must have been frightened and complained of chest pains. I wanted to call Doctor Zhong to come and see her, but the nanny said we shouldn't cause any trouble at this time. I told my cousin to boil the medicine she had earlier to treat the problem first and wait until tomorrow morning to see her."
Zhao asked, "Where is Madam Qian?"
Qingmiao shuddered: "Madame Qian was taken away and never came back."
Zhao was silent for a moment before she spoke: "Okay, take me to see my cousin."
Qingmiao is not stupid. There is so much commotion in the mansion today, something must have happened.
Third Grandma secretly came to see her cousin in the middle of the night, probably to discuss something private.
For a moment, she felt bitter in her mouth, but she had to force a smile on her face: "Sister Yinzhu sent a message earlier, saying that grandma wants to see cousin. I have already informed cousin, and she is waiting for grandma inside now!"
Zhao nodded, followed Qingmiao and went straight into the inner room.
There were only two candles lit in the room, and the light was dim. Liu Sisi was half leaning on the bed, lost in thought. Under the dim light, she looked even more frail and delicate.
Seeing Zhao come in, Liu Sisi forced herself to bow to her.
Zhao Shisheng accepted the gift and looked at Liu Sisi for a long while before saying calmly, "Have the maids pack your luggage tomorrow and send you back the day after tomorrow!"
