The second more is delivered.

……………………………………

Zhou Zhilan just finished bathing, and the maid was serving her diligently to wipe her long hair, and said flatteringly: "It's autumn now, and there is a big difference between morning and evening in the capital, so my aunt should be careful, don't get dyed with the cold." ”

Zhou Zhilan only hummed quietly.

Another maid came in and replied in a low voice, "Auntie, Mother Liu asks to see you outside." ”

Mrs. Liu is the housekeeper who serves Chen Hanzheng in the outer courtyard, Zhou Zhilan didn't dare to slack off, I heard that she came so late, it must be Chen Hanzheng's orders. Zhou Zhilan was only surprised for a moment, then returned to normal, asked the maid to pull her hair for her, put on her coat, and said, "Please Mother Liu come in and talk." ”

Mother Liu is a very shrewd person, she knows that she will not be favored much in front of Aunt Zhou, but she has the ability to flatter Zhou Zhilan very properly, at least the two have reached some kind of tacit understanding: Mrs. Liu is Chen Hanzheng's person, and Zhou Zhilan also has to rely on Chen Hanzheng for a living, the two cannot be friends on the same front, but they will not be enemies.

Zhou Zhilan waited for Mrs. Liu to salute, and then said with a smile: "Mom is polite, I'm bothering you to run so late, look at the seat." ”

Mrs. Liu agreed with a smile and said, "My aunt is charitable and considerate, and the slave maid should make a few more trips." ”

Zhou Zhilan smiled, asked someone to serve tea, and specially asked Mrs. Liu if she had dinner, and heard that she hadn't had time yet, so she asked someone to serve a cup of milk and a stack of osmanthus cakes.

Mrs. Liu thanked again and again, drank the milk, and took a piece of cake. Full of praise: "This milk is not fishy at all, it is really my aunt's Lan Xinhui, this osmanthus cake is good, it is my aunt's craftsmanship, right?" The master is in the outer courtyard, but the food is always unpleasant, and he has to eat the dishes made by his aunt to eat a few more bites......"

Zhou Zhilan said a few words of humility, and asked someone to wrap a bag of osmanthus cakes, and asked Mrs. Liu to take it back to her grandson to eat.

After eating and drinking, Mrs. Liu no longer sold Guanzi, so she leaned slightly. Said: "Before the slave comes." At the second gate, I met the little maid in the outer courtyard. She mentioned a name, and seeing Zhou Zhilan's expression, she continued: "He said that there was a small ...... outside the door of the mansion in the evening Young man, not very old. Fourteen or fifteen years old Thin and short. Dressed sloppily, described as a wolf bèi...... I came to send a message to my aunt, saying that my aunt was fine. Don't worry about it. ”

As soon as Zhou Zhilan heard Mrs. Liu speak, her eyes changed, and when she heard the last eight words, her face became more and more pale. She subconsciously bit her lip and felt the pain, before she smiled quietly: "Where did the little flower call come from, and dare to talk nonsense?" There is such a thing again, which makes people ......" The pain in her throat was like a knife, but she quickly continued: "Beat her out, and never come to the door again." ”

Seeing Zhou Zhilan's expression, Mrs. Liu didn't dare to hold it up, so she stood up and bowed her head and pleaded guilty: "Yes, it's all to blame for the negligence of the slave and maid, and she didn't ask the reason for the matter, so she came to disturb the aunt without authorization, and annoyed the aunt for no reason, it is all the crime of the slave and the maid, and please take care of yourself and don't worry about the slave and maid." ”

Zhou Zhilan is in the mood to deal with a mother-in-law at the moment, she just wants to cry, but she can't help herself at the moment, so she smiled reluctantly, comforted Mrs. Liu and said: "Mom, what are you talking about, I just don't want irrelevant outsiders to cause trouble to adults, especially in my name." I have a younger sister, but my mother must also know that she followed the banquet prince to the northwest, although she said that her temperament is a little jumpy, but she is also a person who respects the rules and knows the general situation, and she will not casually ask someone to give me a message, there is no token, and it is not so deceitful to deceive people, my mother said yes? ”

Mrs. Liu nodded and said, "What my aunt is worried about is that the slave and maid should die, and I won't dare to dirty my aunt's ears next time." ”

Zhou Zhilan smiled: "Mom, don't blame yourself anymore, it's also my impatience, no matter who comes to the door in the future, I always have to ask clearly, don't delay my father's future." "If you really fight out next time without asking anything, then it will really kill her, and you have to take Chen Hanzheng's name and suppress them.

Mrs. Liu's mouth was full of yes, and she was a little jealous of Zhou Zhilan in her heart. Bai ran back to his legs, but instead of pleasing him, he was beaten. This matter is her fault, and if it really makes trouble in front of adults, she may not be able to take advantage of it.

Aunt Zhou's sentence is reasonable.

She put her worth very low, and kept saying that she didn't want to do it for her, and let the bad guys have a chance to make trouble for adults. It's one thing not to cause trouble, and it's also true that you have control over this Chen Mansion everywhere.

The adults didn't say that they would take back the power of the family, what position could she have as an ordinary mother-in-law? Don't you have to please both adults and Aunt Zhou? Who made the county officials not as good as the current management?

Mrs. Liu walked away in disgrace, and met Chen Hanzheng who was in a hurry on the road, and she hurriedly bent down to get to the side of the road. As soon as Chen Hanzheng saw her, he knew that she was from Zhou Zhilan, so he asked her, "Have you told your aunt?" ”

Mrs. Liu looked stupid, it was a big deal, otherwise she wouldn't have gone back to Chen Hanzheng first, who would have thought that it was a little trick called Huazixing's fraud.

Mrs. Liu said without much energy: "Yes, the slave and maid have returned, and the aunt was very angry when she heard it, saying that she didn't know where the little flower called Huazi came from...... "At that moment, she gave Zhou Zhilan's words to Chen Hanzheng as they were.

Chen Hanzheng frowned slightly: Could it be that he was thinking too much? sisters, the relationship has always been very good, Zhou Zhilan should not be this reaction. With her strength to protect her shortcomings, even if she is a liar, she will definitely be fooled first.

Chen Hanzheng sent Mrs. Liu and entered the courtyard gate. Zhou Zhilan was wearing her long hair, hiding in the bed tent and biting the quilt in a daze. All the maids in the house were sent out, leaving only one lamp outside.

As soon as Chen Hanzheng entered the door, Zhou Zhiqing's cold hair stood on end, and he immediately cheered up his spirit. She didn't move, just fell asleep, listening to the little girl pick out the candle flame, fetching water and serving tea, and the sound of jingling was endless.

Chen Hanzheng glanced at the inner room, saw that it was dim, and became more and more suspicious, and asked the maid on the side: "Where is your aunt?" ”

"Auntie is resting."

Chen Hanzheng can't say that today's Zhou Zhiqing is abnormal, after all, he doesn't come to the backyard often, and Zhou Zhilan, the aunt, is dispensable to him. He is not keen on women, and because of Zhou Zhilan's identity, it would be good for him to come once in ten days and a half months. There is nothing else to say, but it is just a pleasure, and after the two of them are finished, he either sleeps or leaves, which is a common thing.

Therefore, Zhou Zhilan did not wait for him.

But I don't know if it's because he is suspicious, I always feel that Zhou Zhilan is a thief. Because she had something to hide herself, Chen Hanzheng was extremely angry. He washed up briefly, lifted the curtain and went into the inner room.

Zhou Zhilan still didn't move.

The sadness was suppressed for the time being, and only fear remained at the moment. Chen Hanzheng is not a careless man, he will definitely see Duanni when she cries, what excuse should she find to perfunctory the past? (To be continued......)
