Most of the servants currently used in the three rooms of the Zhou family were borrowed from the Zhenguo Mansion.

The manpower that can be lent by the Zhenguo Mansion is naturally idle, and there is no work to do on weekdays, so it can be temporarily seconded to other houses to earn extra money. Among them, the second room of the Zhou family was inconvenient to bring too many servants to the border city because the general and his party had been stationed in the border for many years, so the most idle people stayed in Chang'an's house, and most of them were borrowed by the Duchess of Zhenguo. Madame returned to Chang'an on Tuesday, after the servant had lent her. However, she brought enough people to wait around her, and there was no shortage of people to summon them, so she didn't have to call them back again.

In the hands of the person who lent the second room of the Zhou family, a servant woman was found to have stolen into the West Courtyard, but she was quickly stopped. When Zhou Ma interrogated her, she confessed that she was acting on orders. Mrs. Tuesday sent an order to her, asking her to send a letter to Mrs. Ma, saying that it was the intention of Mrs. Tuesday, the main mother, and that she had no reason to disobey the order. She knew in her heart that it was inappropriate to do this, but compared to the orders of Zhou Shigong and Zhou Ma, the husband and wife of the Zhou family, of course, she had to give priority to Mrs. Tuesday's orders.

Zhou Ma knew that Mrs. Tuesday was the daughter of the Tang family, and she had always been close to her sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhou, so she wondered if she had rejected Mrs. Tang again, and the latter asked her sister-in-law for help? Zhou Ma didn't want to make a big fuss, for fear of affecting the relationship between Sanfang and Changfang Town's Guogong Mansion, so he didn't make a noise, and only fined the servant woman a few months' monthly money, and closed it for a few days. Naturally, the letter was not sent to the West Courtyard, and the servant woman was still locked up, and she was not able to send the letter back to the Zhenguo Mansion. But Zhou Yijun felt that the matter here was not so simple, and persuaded Zhou Ma to fail, so he simply sent the news to Zhou Wenjun privately.

She whispered to Haitang: "This kind of thing doesn't make sense. What is the important matter for Mrs. Tang to send a letter to the old lady? She can find the second aunt to help, she must also know from the second aunt what taboo the old lady has committed, right? If she really needs to find the old lady in a hurry, can't she tell my grandfather and grandmother? She can't open her mouth, what about the second aunt? The second aunt is of course the daughter of the Tang family, but she is also the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, how can she help her mother's family to deceive her mother-in-law's family? ! Knowing that my grandfather had an explicit order first, I had to ignore my grandparents' wishes and secretly accept ...... She's hiding it from Grandpa Guo, right? That's taboo! ”

Because Mrs. Tuesday committed a taboo, Zhou Yijun dared to sue for this complaint. She sent a letter to Zhou Wenjun, of course, not only to send news to her sister, but also to let Zhou Wenjun speak for herself. When the Duchess of Zhenguo sent her own servants to the third room to wait, she didn't say that her own daughter-in-law could hide from the master of the third room and order these servants to make trouble in the third room!

Haitang is really impressed by Zhou Yijun. On weekdays, this little girl looks well-behaved and clever, but I didn't expect to have the courage to assert herself!

She complimented, "Well done! No matter what your aunt and grandfather say, you shouldn't have hidden this kind of thing for Mrs. Tang. Even if she is the in-law of the Zhou family, it is too much to privately ask the servants of the Zhou family to do things on the territory of the Zhou family! ”

Zhou Yijun pursed her lips and smiled a little embarrassedly, but her bold action was supported by her cousin, and she relaxed a lot, and she also sensed the hint in Haitang's words: "Cousin Hai, do you think ...... Didn't the second aunt instigate this? ”

Begonia didn't think Mrs. Tuesday would do such a thing. The Zhou family's three-room closed door is for outsiders, but there is no restriction on their relatives and friends. If Mrs. Tuesday really wants to send a letter to Mrs. Ma, she can just come to the third room to meet someone. Zhou Shigong stopped Mrs. Tang, not her. She didn't need to hide from the people in the third room and do such a sneaky thing.

This is more like Mrs. Tang using Mrs. Tuesday's henchmen to run errands. Mrs. Tuesday is the daughter of the Tang family, and their sister-in-law has a good relationship, if Mrs. Tang wants to instruct the people around Mrs. Tuesday to do something, as long as it does not harm Mrs. Tuesday's interests, will the next person refuse?

Zhou Yijun listened to Haitang's analysis and thought it was true: "That's right...... No matter how close the second aunt is to her mother's family, there is no need to hide it from my grandmother in this kind of matter......" she couldn't help but worry, "but in the letter I wrote to my eldest sister, I made it clear that it was the second aunt who instructed someone to do it...... Isn't that wronged?! ”

Haitang smiled: "It's okay, you can't be wronged." Anyway, the servant's confession meant that she was acting on orders. If Sister Wenjun sued Mrs. Tuesday in front of Mrs. Zhenguo, when Mrs. Tuesday wanted to cry out for injustice, she would know what her henchmen had done, and what good things her sister-in-law had done to use her. When the time comes, we will be able to figure out what kind of medicine is sold in Mrs. Tang's gourd! ”

Zhou Yijun pursed her lips: "If there is a betrayer around the second uncle, this time it is exposed, it will also be good for the second uncle, right?" Anyway, I think that Mrs. Tang is acting unjustly, and it is also a good thing for our family to find out the secrets hidden between her and the old lady earlier. ”

The secret was not kept under wraps for long.

When Ma was about to go home with Begonia, Zhou Wenjun sent someone to reply to Zhou Yijun, explaining the truth of the matter in the letter.

Mrs. Tuesday didn't know what her sister-in-law had done to her roommate. When she was called over by her mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhenguo, she was really confused. After hearing what had happened, she immediately cried out for injustice, and summoned her henchmen to inquire carefully, only to know that Madame Tang had indeed crossed her and instructed her henchmen to give orders to the servant woman who had been loaned out. Mrs. Tang also told the grandmother that there was no need to tell the sister-in-law about such a trivial matter. In return, the grandma's nephew and grandson who are still in the Tang family will get a good errand after the beginning of spring.

Mrs. Tuesday was furious on the spot. For the daughters of her brother and sister-in-law to marry as she wishes, she couldn't even take care of her own son's marriage, and ran for Tang Hui and Tang Ruo, but her sister-in-law repaid her like this? ! Even if you really want to ask her to do things, there is no reason to hide it from her, the master! What's more, my sister-in-law still handled things so ugly, causing her to lose face in front of her mother-in-law, and she couldn't be forgiven!

Mrs. Tuesday immediately rushed back to her parents' house. After careful questioning, she forced out the truth from the mouth of her sister-in-law, Mrs. Tang.

The two nurturing grandmothers of the Tang family, when they were invited from the capital, took a lot of effort. The head of the Tang family served in the capital too early, and the connections he made at that time are now nothing, and there is really no place to inquire about reliable grandmothers, so he specially asked Zhou Shuyi, the daughter of the Zhou family to marry in Beijing, and invited people to come. During the whole process, Mrs. Ma and Zhou Shuyi's mother and daughter made great efforts, and it was they who recommended the two who were said to be nurturing grandmothers from the palace to the Tang family. In order to persuade the two grandmothers to come all the way to Chang'an to teach, the Tang family also promised to provide for them in old age and would never quit them halfway.

But now, Mrs. Tang wants to quit the person. This is a violation of the original agreement between the parties. Mrs. Tang still remembered what Mrs. Ma said at that time, saying that these two nurturing grandmothers had served in the palace for many years and had a close relationship with the nobles in the palace. She wanted to drive people away, but she didn't want to offend their backers, so she hurriedly came to Mrs. Ma to inquire about the identity of the backers!

It's just that Mrs. Tang has not yet been recognized by her family, and she doesn't plan to make a statement, she just wants to quietly ask Mrs. Ma first. I didn't expect this concealment, and something went wrong. The person she was looking for was arrested by the third room of the Zhou family, and even the Duchess of Zhenguo was so tired that she had no face. She's so angry!

Haitang followed Ma's, hurriedly finished eating the melon, and then said goodbye and left.

It's just that she recalled what Zhou Wenjun said in her reply, and always felt that something was wrong.

Is the truth really as simple as Mrs. Tang explained?
