Chapter 653: Crazy criticism of the powerful officials for robbing the beautiful maid
Chapter 653: Crazy criticism of the powerful officials for robbing the beautiful maid
Zhang Xintong heard that the servants in Concubine Zhou's courtyard had all signed new indentures, and they dared not disobey, but she wasn't afraid. The three main quests, which had been incredibly difficult for the original owner, were simple for Zhang Xintong. If she hadn't been accompanying Wei Ziyuan in his madcap drama of criticizing powerful officials for forcibly seizing beautiful maids, she could have simply run away.
The nanny next to Aunt Zhou came to see Zhang Xintong
"Madam said to sign the contract of sale."
Zhang Xintong......
"If you don't want to sign, you can leave."
The original owner was not a weak little white flower. She was very smart and organized. She was not as easy to control as an ordinary maid. If it were not for the indenture in the hands of Aunt Zhou and her affection for Wei Zining, it would be difficult for Aunt Zhou to control her.
The original owner was only truly afraid of Wei Ziyuan. She was not afraid of the maids around Aunt Zhou. She used to be hypocritical with them and showed respect to them on the surface, but she had her own considerations when doing things.
The nanny was a little angry when she saw Zhang Xintong was disobedient.
"Don't think you can rest easy just because you're in the eldest master's courtyard. If Auntie wants to kill you, it's as easy as stepping on an ant."
Zhang Xintong smiled indifferently
"Then let's try it!"
The nanny came here today not only to get Zhang Xintong to sign the contract to sell herself, but also for something more important. She held back her anger and said:
"Why haven't you taken action yet?"
"What are you doing? I don't know what you are talking about."
"you..."
"I'll go back if I'm fine. Don't come to see me again."
"If you don't take action now, Madam will not agree to let you marry the Second Young Master."
"Don't bother. This is a matter between me and the Second Young Master. Also, the Madam is still here. An aunt is an aunt. Don't call yourself Madam to give yourself face."
After saying this, Zhang Xintong turned around and left, returning to Wei Ziyuan's courtyard. The nanny was furious and quickly ran back to Aunt Zhou's courtyard to report.
After Wei Ziyuan returned home, someone reported what Zhang Xintong had said to the nanny. He couldn't quite see through Zhang Xintong, but he didn't believe what she and the nanny had said. The court was treacherous, and he had encountered all kinds of conspiracies and tricks. Wei Ziyuan never trusted anyone easily, especially someone from the opposing camp.
Zhang Xintong diligently completed her duty as a maid on guard duty every day. Soon it was time to pay her monthly salary. She had not left Wei Ziyuan's yard for a month, and Aunt Zhou had no chance to take action.
After Zhang Xintong received the monthly salary, she naturally had to go out of the house. This time, not only was Wei Ziyuan's people following her, but there were also two other people following her. It was obvious that they were sent by Aunt Zhou to deal with her.
Zhang Xintong bought some cakes and changed the silver into copper coins. She did not go directly to where the beggar child was, but instead led people around in circles until she got rid of the people sent by Aunt Zhou before going to where the beggar child was.
As for the people sent by Wei Ziyuan, forget about it. They are still following behind. They know martial arts, and unless Zhang Xintong uses her real skills, she won't be able to get rid of them by circling around like a trick.
When Zhang Xintong arrived, there was only one child here; the other children were gone.
"Xiao Zhuang, what's going on? Where are Xiao Chun and Xiao Heng?"
Xiao Zhuang smiled happily
"Sister, a high-ranking official has adopted us. We now live in a large courtyard, well-fed and warmly clothed. I'm waiting for you here today, fearing you might worry about us."
Zhang Xintong didn't pay attention when she first arrived, but now she saw Xiaozhuang was dressed better than before. Although Xiaozhuang was able to come out and didn't seem to be imprisoned, she was still worried that these children would be deceived. Many people adopt children not out of kindness, but because there are many unknown transactions.
"Xiao Zhuang, can you take your sister to see your new home?"
Xiao Zhuang held Zhang Xintong's hand for the first time. He was too dirty before and didn't want to dirty his sister's hand. Now he is clean and can finally hold his sister's hand.
"Sister, come with me."
Zhang Xintong followed Xiao Zhuang for a quarter of an hour before arriving at a courtyard gate with a sign reading "Wei Mansion Branch Courtyard." In the imperial city, only the Duke's Mansion could boast such a large branch courtyard and carry the surname Wei.
"Xiao Zhuang, who is the high-ranking official you are talking about? Do you know?"
Xiaozhuang nodded and shook his head
"I heard the nanny who takes care of us mention the Dali Temple. I guess he must be a high-ranking official in the Dali Temple. I don't know anything else."
When Zhang Xintong heard that it was Wei Ziyuan, she felt relieved. Wei Ziyuan was her man now and would not use these children to make any secret deals.
Zhang Xintong touched Xiaozhuang's head
"Sister, I understand. You guys should live well here."
Zhang Xintong didn't go in. There was a doorman guarding the door. She just wanted to know that the children were safe.
Xiaozhuang said goodbye to Zhang Xintong reluctantly
"Sister, are you free to come and see us?"
Zhang Xintong nodded
"it is good!"
Zhang Xintong didn't give away the copper coins. She spent them all when she got back to the street. She bought a bunch of snacks, such as cakes, preserved fruits, melon seeds, candies, etc. She also bought some small accessories. She spent all her money before leaving.
Zhang Xintong never met the two people sent by Aunt Zhou again. I wonder if they went back?
Zhang Xintong took a long time to shop and came back a little late. Wei Ziyuan had already returned home. Looking at Zhang Xintong carrying a bunch of things into the yard, he stood there with a dignified look.
"What have you been doing?"
Zhang Xintong fell to her knees with a thud. Her body was so frightened that she was also affected by the fear.
"Master, I know I was wrong."
Wei Ziyuan raised his eyebrows
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Xintong glanced at Wei Ziyuan cautiously
“You shouldn’t forget the time when buying something.”
Wei Ziyuan's voice was cold.
"That's all?"
Zhang Xintong didn't do anything else except coming back late. She looked up in confusion.
"What else?"
Wei Ziyuan saw her puzzled look and didn't know what to do, so he didn't bother to care.
"Go back! I don't need your service today."
After Wei Ziyuan left, Zhang Xintong picked up the things she bought and returned to her room.
Wei Ziyuan was not sad when he found out that Zhang Xintong was isolated, and he did not take action when someone was sent to deal with him. He was heartless but very smart. When he was followed, he could get rid of those who were against him. He was very kind-hearted. It was hard to describe what kind of person he was, and that face would cause ripples in his heart every time he saw it, and he didn't know why?
A few days later, Zhang Xintong received a message from Wei Zining. He had returned home on vacation and wanted to see her. They made an appointment to meet in the back garden at the end of the evening.
Zhang Xintong must go. Wei Zining is a good person. Although he and the original owner cannot be together because of Aunt Zhou, they have not separated yet. They just lack a formal breakup ceremony, so she must explain it to him clearly.
At the end of the Xu hour, Zhang Xintong left Wei Ziyuan's yard. No one stopped her and she arrived at the back garden smoothly. Wei Zining was already waiting for her.
Under the moonlight, Wei Zining stood tall and graceful, with an extraordinary temperament, untainted by dust, and a strong scholarly air.
Zhang Xintong hadn't expected the original owner's feelings for Wei Zining to be so terrifyingly deep. She hadn't noticed before, but now that she had, she wanted nothing more than to sink into his love. She was held in Wei Zining's arms, unable to muster the strength to push him away. It turned out letting go of her feelings for Wei Zining wasn't easy.
