Master Zhou sat in the study with a gloomy face, and next to him stood Fu Lu, the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion.

Fu Lu is Fu Chun's father, over fifty years old, with a goatee, shrewd eyes, and he doesn't say a word except for the occasional tea for Master Zhou.

Fu Chun took Zi Su and the fat aunt into the study, whispered in Fu Lu's ear, and told his father what he had seen and heard, and Fu Lu told Master Zhou word for word.

Master Zhou assigned Fu Chun to go out first, "With your father here, you go back first to serve the third young master." ”

Fu Chun went out and closed the door of the study, Master Zhou's eyes kept sweeping over the faces of the fat aunt and Zisu, and the room suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

Zi Su was very nervous and uneasy at the moment, she couldn't let Master Zhou see half a point, she tried her best to condense her mind, pretending to be in a natural panic state oppressed by Master Zhou's eyes, her eyes revealed the innocence and worry of being overwhelmed, and deliberately collided with Master Zhou's gaze several times, deliberately revealing a cowardly, reluctant to speak and afraid to speak.

Slowly, Master Zhou's gaze completely shifted to the fat aunt.

Just now, what Fu Chun said in the darkroom made the fat aunt feel uneasy all the time. Now, Master Zhou's gaze forced her not to raise her head, her heart became more and more flustered, her fat fingers trembled slightly, and it became more and more powerful.

After a long time, Master Zhou asked lightly: "At a young age, you can't even match the concentration of a girl, could it be that you really feel ashamed." ”

The fat aunt hurriedly leaned down and crawled on the ground, "Master, the old woman is loyal to the old man and has no second heart." ”

"How many years have you been in the house?"

"The old woman has been serving the old lady for twenty years."

"Twenty years, you haven't learned the rules of the house!"

"The old woman is guilty, she shouldn't go to the back of the third young master's east wing."

"You shouldn't go, you go too! Have you forgotten how your man died? ”

The fat aunt's face suddenly turned like ashes, and beads of sweat the size of beans oozed from her forehead.

Zi Su lowered her head and sneered secretly, this fat aunt was dancing in front of outsiders, but she was just a guy who was strong in the middle. However, why Master Zhou mentioned her man at this moment made Zisu a little more curious.

Master Zhou glanced at Fu Lu, "This old woman is old, and her memory doesn't seem to be very good, you tell her again, how did her man die." ”

Fu Lu glanced at Shisu, a little embarrassed, "This girl ......"

"It doesn't matter, no matter what the result is today, this girl can't stay, it doesn't matter if she knows a little more. I let you tell me, and I also remind you, how did you become the steward of the Zhou Mansion? What to do in this life, what to say and what not to say. ”

The meaning of these words is very clear, I am afraid that no matter what the result, Shiso will not escape death.

At the same time, Master Zhou also warned Fu Lu that today Zhou Qingming embedded the talisman, Fu Lu and Fu Chun were present, and this matter could only be stopped in the stomach.

The wrinkles on Fu Lu's face twitched slightly, and then he returned to normal, and said slowly to the fat aunt.

"Twenty years ago, if it weren't for your man who couldn't control his mouth, he would be the housekeeper of my Zhou Mansion today. Back then, your man relied on the master's trust and leaked the secrets of the Zhou Mansion, which made the master beat him to death, and all those who heard the secrets of the Zhou Mansion were also killed. It's just because you went back to your parents' house at that time, and you were your wife's dowry girl, and your wife interceded for you, that the master spared you once and let you continue to work as an errand in the house......"

Master Zhou took over, "You have been very down-to-earth over the years, and for the sake of the eldest young master's heart disease, you have also done your best to find him so many women he likes." Aside from Fulu, the person I trust the most is you. That's why Fu Lu and Fu Chun had no time to get out of the old third room, so I asked you to patrol outside, but you did something to peep into the secret of the house! ”

The fat aunt slammed her head on the ground, "Master, there is a lesson from my man, and the old woman doesn't dare to peep in 10,000 words, but I heard a movement in the east wing, so I went over to take a look, and found the reporter of "Jinling Daily", and he knocked me unconscious on the ground." ”

Master Zhou half-opened his eyes, "For twenty years, you have never been married, do you miss your man in your heart, and hate me for killing him?" You have always wanted to know what the secret of my Zhou Mansion is, and you want to know what your man knew before I killed him, so twenty years later, you rely on my trust in you and my wife to peep into the secrets of my Zhou family, and then deliberately spread it, do you want to avenge your man? ”

"Master, the old woman is wronged, and the old woman has never had this thought. There is no one else in my heart except the old lady. "The fat aunt is crying like a complaint, and her words are sincere, not like lying.

Master Zhou said: "Gu Junyi, the reporter of the "Jinling Daily" who was arrested, didn't say that. He said that you were holding a lantern and climbing on the camphor tree to peek into the third child's room, and he was curious, so he went over to see what was going on, and after you found out, he knocked you unconscious. ”

The fat aunt mentioned the reporter of "Jinling Daily", Zi Su was puzzled, at this moment Master Zhou called out Gu Junyi's life, Gu Junyi was really arrested by Master Zhou!

According to the situation last night, Gu Junyi had to take her out of the Zhou Mansion, and now that Gu Junyi was caught by Master Zhou, Zi Su felt a little guilty in her heart, maybe she had caused Gu Junyi.

It is not easy for Gu Junyi to turn things upside down to the fat aunt, and make Master Zhou suspicious of a loyal servant for many years, Gu Junyi doesn't know how smart Zi Su is, and he can't understand what Gu Junyi said to Master Zhou to have such an effect.

The fat aunt's words reached Shiso's ears, disrupting her thoughts.

"The conscience of heaven and earth, the old woman will never do such a thing."

"I sent someone to see the footprints on the camphor tree behind the east wing, which are completely women's footprints, who else can you be?"

The fat aunt straightened up, pointed at Shisu and shouted, "It's her!" It's her! That's her! Although I was old and faint, I remembered the figure of the reporter, and when the reporter knocked me unconscious, I vaguely heard him shouting for this girl to come down from the tree. ”

Fu Lu continued, "Master, what the fat aunt said is right, at that time, in the place where she fainted, there was a bird's nest in a celadon bowl, according to Aunt Song's explanation, Shisu was holding this bowl of bird's nest to find the master, and Cuizhi can also prove that Shisu went to the master with this bowl of bird's nest." Zi Su has never been to the third young master's east wing, why did that bowl of bird's nest appear in the corner? ”

Fu Lu's words were obviously biased towards the fat aunt.

Zi Su wanted to argue, but she couldn't find an excuse for a while, and now that the fat aunt pointed out her, she couldn't help but respond, so she had to pretend to be very dazed and ignorant and looked at the fat aunt.

She knew that Gu Junyi was arrested by Master Zhou, and the confession she asked was completely framing the fat aunt.

Although Master Zhou's words just now had the meaning of killing her, as long as she didn't die, she would have a chance to turn over. Gu Junyi sacrificed herself to save her, she couldn't resist Gu Junyi's guidance.

She didn't know what else Gu Junyi had said at the moment, but she could probably understand what Gu Junyi meant, and try to put the blame on the fat aunt by using the fat aunt's play.

However, the note Gu Junyi left for her, what April 17 meant, she still didn't understand.

Master Zhou stared at Zisu, "Don't you have anything to say?" ”

Zi Su shook her head, followed Gu Junyi's meaning, and led the topic to the fat aunt, "I don't know what happened last night, I woke up in the dark room, and I don't know why, the fat aunt beat me to death with a wooden stick early in the morning." ”

"Fu Chungang told me that it was her personal vendetta. Let me ask you, do you know Gu Junyi? ”

"Acquaintance."

Now that it is at this juncture, Zi Su has to admit that she and Gu Junyi know each other.

"Gu Junyi said that he came to the Zhou Mansion to date you?"

Zi Su couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, how could Gu Junyi say this?

She is a big girl with yellow flowers, and her tryst with the men outside at night has tarnished her reputation no matter how you say it.

Gu Junyi likes Zisu so much, how could he say such things to tarnish his lover's reputation?

Zi Su had an inexplicable trust in her heart, and she was very sure that Gu Junyi would not let her reputation be polluted.

"Master, the slave maid has followed Aunt Song since she was a child, serving the fifth young master, they are very good to the slave and maid, treating the slave and maid like a family member, the slave and maid have nothing to repay in this life, how can they date Gu Junyi in the mansion? Didn't I do this to harm the reputation of Aunt Song and the Fifth Young Master? Without the care of Aunt Song and the Fifth Young Master, there would be no place for slaves and maids in the Zhou Mansion. ”

Master Zhou asked again: "What do you mean by that you went on a date with Gu Junyi of "Jinling Daily" outside the house?" ”

The tone of the four words of "Jinling Daily" was particularly forceful.

Zi Su heard Gu Junyi say that the "Jinling Daily" was the "weapon" used by Governor Xiao Fengju to deal with the other three families of the four major families.

The meaning of Master Zhou's words is obvious, and he suspects that she will reveal some things about the Zhou Mansion to Gu Junyi, so that Gu Junyi can write it in the newspaper to slander the Zhou Mansion and benefit Xiao Fengju.

"Master, the slave maid doesn't know what the relationship with Gu Junyi was before. Since the last time the slave was almost killed by the fat aunt, the slave's previous memories have disappeared. A few days ago, the slave maid went outside to buy medicinal materials for Aunt Song, and when she met this Gu Junyi, he kept following the slave maid, saying that he knew me, and blindly pestered me, and the slave maid was very annoyed with him and never paid attention to him. ”

Master Zhou was silent, the air in the study seemed to be frozen, Zi Su couldn't see any expression on Master Zhou's face, she didn't know how much trust there was in Master Zhou's eyes.

Fu Lu said softly: "A few days ago, there were rumors in the mansion that Shisu had come back from the dead, and Fu Chun also told me that she had lost her memory and couldn't even remember her name. I asked Bicao Lanyin, as well as Aunt Song, and they can all prove that Shisu has indeed forgotten many things in the past. That day, Zi Su went out to buy medicinal materials for Aunt Song, and when she was embarrassed by Ya Po's mother and son, Gu Junyi was not by Zi Su's side at that time, and it only appeared later. According to Gu Junyi, he and Zisu have known each other for a long time, and Zisu has never revealed any news about the Zhou Mansion, and he has not written any reports about the Zhou Mansion in the "Jinling Daily". ”

Fu Lu, who was still biased towards the fat aunt just now, actually favored Zisu and Gu Junyi again. This made Shisu unable to understand the intentions of the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion.
