Liu Xin had already recognized her as the maid Liu Hong in Cai Yan's room. Liu Hong was originally a daughter of a family of noble families in Jiangxia. Because her father helped Huang Zu resist the Jingzhou Army's attack. After the city was broken, the whole family was regarded as official slaves. Liu Hong has read books. Literate. Looks pretty. smart. It was picked by Cai Yan. Liu Xin once joked about her name. Said peach blossom is red. She should be called Liu Lu. So remember her. See her being sneaky. Can't help but say strangely: "You are not taking care of Madam Cai Mansion. What are you doing here."
Liu Hong hurriedly replied: "The third lady has already returned to the house. The slave and maid are here waiting for the master."
Liu Xin was pleasantly surprised: "Zhao Ji has returned. She asked you to wait for me here. Is there something important?"
Liu Hong whispered: "It was not the third lady who asked me to come. It was me. I. I have something to tell the master."
Liu Xin knows that these maids in the mansion usually dream of getting their favor. But it was the first one who dared to confess so boldly like Liu Hong. He doesn't want people to misunderstand that he and a maid are here for me. So he nodded. Said: "Come with me to the study."
Since New Year's Eve that year. There is no need for a maid in the study. Instead, he changed a few servants. Liu Xin sat behind the desk. There are two little servants standing by. There is no need to worry about any misunderstandings. Liu Xinchao Liu Hong nodded. Beckon her to speak quickly.
Liu Hong looked at the two young men next to Liu Xin. Hesitate to speak and stop. Finally gritted his teeth. Said: "Lord, please tell them to retreat. Only the servants dare to say."
Seeing Liu Xin's face looked a little calm. Liu Hong hesitated and said: "This matter has something to do with the third lady."
Liu Xin waved to the two young men. Let them retreat to the door and wait.
Liu Hong only took two steps forward. He whispered: "Go back to the master. The slave servant is serving the third lady in Cai Mansion. I saw the third lady twice in private meetings with General Zhao."
Liu Xin's face suddenly collapsed. There was a moment of silence. Said: "Go and invite Zhao Ji here."
Seeing Liu Xin angrily, Liu Hong asked her to call Cai Yan. Secretly happy in my heart. She is the daughter of a good family. Now he has been reduced to a slave and a maidservant. She naturally knew the rules of the State Shepherd House. A few years will not pass. If you can't get Liu Xin's favor. Had no choice but to be a wife with a domestic slave. It is still inevitable to be a slave when giving birth to children. For this ending. She was so unwilling.
Cai Yan sent people to invite Zhao Yun to Cai Mansion. Ask them to step aside when they talk. Obviously there is some ulterior secret. Especially Zhao Yun came back from Luoyang. Also brought a beautiful girl. The girl's appearance is that these women are all stunned when they see it. I don't know where it came from.
Liu Hong knew that these maids were in the house. She is at best a middle-upper posture. Get such a young girl in again. Her hopes are even thinner. In desperation. She thought of telling Liu Xin. After all, Cai Yan had a private meeting with Zhao Yun. It was not allowed in the society at the time. Maybe this way. Liu Xin looked at herself differently.
Cai Yan heard that Liu Xin called her. He went to the study happily.
Just arrived at the door. Liu Hong walked in first. Said: "Master. The third lady brought it here."
Cai Yan frowned. This girl has no rules today. How can there be such a talk. Looked up. But Liu Xin's face was full of sorrow. Shen Sheng said, "Ban maidservant. Don't kneel down yet."
Liu Hong was looking back at Cai Yan triumphantly. But he heard Liu Xin's angry voice behind him: "Liu Hong. Didn't you hear what the master said? Do you want the master to do it yourself?"
Liu Hong was taken aback. Turn back and kneel to the ground. Knocking his head: "Master. What the slave maidservant said is true. The third lady's private meeting, General Zhao, is the slave maid seeing it with his own eyes. If there is a half-word. I would like to leave it to the master."
Cai Yan's face faded after hearing this. There was a "plop". Also knelt to the ground. Two lines of tears shed. Choked to say: "Master. I..."
Liu Xin has already taken a step forward. He helped Cai Yan up. Said: "Zhao Ji. You don't need to say anything. The most important thing between husband and wife is trust. If I suspect you are unfaithful because of this stubborn maid's sentence, what right do you have to be your husband?"
If you say others. Liu Xin may still be dubious. But Cai Yan is a lady who has been reading poetry since childhood. How can I do something that I am sorry for. not to mention. What is Zhao Yun's character? In history, that has been conclusive. Liu Xin has absolute trust in him. Hear Liu Hong's informant. Liu Xin was already furious. He held on to his anger. Let Liu Hong invite Cai Yan. Just to punish this slut who chews his tongue in front of Cai Yan.
Cai Yan just heard Liu Hong say that sentence. Really scared. Although she didn't really do anything to sorry Liu Xin. But if you run into a narrow-minded man. Single private meeting Zhao Yun this one. That is a terrible sin. It's not impossible to even be deprived. And in that society at that time. There are many such men. Especially in the upper echelons of society. There are more men of this kind. That's why there are so many big families. Confine all his young women at home. You can't even go to your mother's house casually.
Unexpectedly, Liu Xin did not blame her at all. Instead, he expressed unconditional trust in her. The tears on Cai Yan's face flowed more happily.
Liu Xin asked in surprise: "Why are you still crying."
Cai Yan sobbed: "I'm not crying. I'm happy. I really didn't misunderstand you back then."
Liu Xin wiped her tears. Angrily said: "You silly girl. Let's talk. How do you want to deal with this spreading rumors. Slander the master's cheap maid."
Cai Yan glanced at Liu Hong, who was trembling. He shook his head and said, "Actually, she was right. I did meet Zhao Yun privately. I'll let it go."
Liu Xin sighed and said: "Zhao Ji. You are too kind. You know why she wants to inform me. She just wants to invite me through this matter. If this matter is not dealt with, other people will also do it in the future. There is something to learn. Isn’t the house messed up? The wife should take charge of the inner house. You really can’t bear it. So let her take care of her."
Compared to Liu Xin's peace and kindness. Ma Yun gave people the impression of being very strict in the mansion. Liu Hong heard that she would be handed over to Ma Yun for disposal. Already scared to death. Knocking on his head again and again: "I beg the master to spare the slave and maid this time. The slave will never dare to do it again. Third Madam. Please. Please help the slave and maid to talk."
Cai Yan looked at Liu Hong panicked. Also pity her a little. So he said to Liu Xin: "Husband. Or it's up to my face. Give her a chance."
Who knows. A voice came from behind her: "No. The master said just now. There are no rules. There is no mess at home. Sister. You don't care about this. Let me take care of it. Someone. Take her away. "
Cai Yan and Liu Hong heard voices. Turning back together. But Ma Yun didn't know when she had stood behind them. Liu Hong said "Ah". Already fainted with fright. Cai Yan was also taken aback. Blushing and asked: "Sister. When did you come. You heard everything we said. The master..."
Ma Yun smiled and interrupted her and said: "I just got home. I heard that you are back. I went to see you. Who knew you were called to the study by the master. I followed. Of course I heard everything you said. Think about it. Master is the most pitiful and cherish jade. If you don't know I am here, how can you hand this cheap maid to me so generously."
Liu Xin said quietly: "Where can I be so unbearable as you think."
Ma Yun ignored him. He took Cai Yan's hand and asked, "Sister. What's the matter with Zhao Yun. Tell your sister."
Cai Yan glanced at Liu Xin. Hesitate. Can't say it.
Ma Yun said disdainfully: "Leave him alone. Your sister is in charge of everything."
Cai Yan said Ai Ai, "I'm just afraid that my sister will be upset. That's why I dare not say it."
Women seem to be a little gossip. After hearing what Cai Yan said. Ma Yun became more curious. Said: "I am afraid of anything. Say it quickly. Say it quickly. Sister doesn't blame you."
Cai Yan glanced at Liu Xin again. Then he said, "I. I asked General Zhao to bring someone back from Luoyang."
Liu Xin became curious too. Asked: "You are looking for Zhao Yun. Just to let him bring someone back for you. Who is that person?"
Cai Yan glanced at Ma Yun again. Anxiously said: "She is the dancing girl Diaochan in Wang Yun's Mansion that the master said."
"Diao Chan..." Liu Xin and Ma Yun exclaimed. Ma Yun immediately asked: "Then Zhao Yun brought Diaochan back."
Cai Yan didn't look angry when she saw Ma Yun. On the contrary, it seemed to be a little expectant. With a sigh of relief. Nodded vigorously. Said: "Brought it back. I temporarily let her live with Sister Linger."
Ma Yun looked like a star chaser. If there is any woman in this age who deserves Ma Yun to be her fan. Cai Yan, a talented woman, counts as one. And Diao Chan, one of the four ancient beauties, should also be counted as one. She couldn't wait to ask: "How about it. Is she really beautiful?"
Just as Ma Yun looked excited. Pulling Cai Yan there when asking this and that. Liu Xin was dumbfounded. He was just a whim that day. I asked Cai Yan a few words casually. Who knows that Cai Yan has it in his heart. He also asked Zhao Yun to bring Diaochan back. Diao Chan is now in Jingzhou. There is no Diaochan. Then how will Wang Yun use a series of tricks in the future. Wang Yun doesn't make a series of tricks. How could Lu Bu turn his face with Dong Zhuo. Lu Bu didn't turn his face with Dong Zhuo. Then who is going to kill Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo is not dead. Continue to stay entrenched in Chang'an. Liu Xie can't get to Xuchang. Cao Cao's strength will not grow. Who will contend with Yuan Shao in Hebei.
It's because of Cai Yan's own opinion. Produced this series of unknown consequences. History has completely deviated from the original track. Many things will happen in the future. Liu Xin can no longer tell the prophet. Liu Xin felt a splitting headache. The more I think about it, the more annoyed it becomes. Can't help but yell: "Cai Yan. How can you mess around like this."
