"Qiqiao... go and ask mother... no, ask Nanny Liu to come over."
Just as he was talking, Miharu and Baxiu had already lifted the curtain and came in. Hua Zhuo kept silent. The less people knew about this kind of thing, the better. Although Miharu was her mother's confidant, she and Jiuhui grew up together. , The feelings are very shallow, so let’s keep it a secret for the time being.
"Miss...Miss, madam is back."
Qiqiao hurriedly came to report. Obviously she also knew that although the young lady and Aunt Liu had already discussed the matter about Jiuhui, the final decision was still made by the madam, so she always paid attention to the movement at the gate. When she came back, she came to report the news before she even entered the gate of the West Cross Courtyard.
As long as you know who the man is, there will naturally be clues to find it, and it can be confirmed whether the account book has anything to do with Jiuhui.
Aunt Liu knew that the matter was of great importance, so she went straight to Jiuhui's room without any delay after leaving the show pavilion, and sat there waiting for Jiuhui to come back. Hua Zhuo was still uneasy in her heart. In the last life, the Hua family ended up in ruins. The account book that was the key evidence that made her father unable to argue had anything to do with Jiu Hui. This doubt was like a cat's paw, tickling her from time to time. Heart.
As she spoke, she sighed again and said, "Thankfully we discovered this first. If someone outside found out..." Before she could finish her words, she heard Miharu's voice at the door.
Hua Zhuo thought for a while and finally came up with a compromise, saying: "Jiu Hui has served her father with all her heart these years. There is no merit but hard work. If she is dealt with harshly, it will only chill the hearts of others who don't know the inside story." , but this matter is very serious. If word gets out, our Washington government will lose face, so we must not tolerate it. According to my wishes, let Jiuhui tell who the man is and let him pay. The redemption of Jiuhui and the subsequent marriage have nothing to do with our Washington, and the Washington will not pursue their affair. Do you think this is okay?"
Hua Zhuo thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt. Aunt Liu was mature and prudent, and her mother was not in the house now, so she could only discuss it with her.
This time Hua Zhuo didn't let Qiqiao talk, but he thought about it and told Jiu Hui's matter, and how he dealt with Jiu Hui. When Fang heard this, he said angrily: "Confused, this kind of How could we let that bitch off so easily? She has ruined the reputation of my family in Washington, so we must not let her off lightly."
Hua Zhuo nodded solemnly and said: "Dad often brings some official documents back. The study is such a big place, it is inevitable that there will be some confidential documents. If one or two pieces are lost, that's it. At most, it is just a matter of poor storage, but if there are too many What's going to kill you?"
"You don't need to worry about Zhuangzi's affairs. For now, all you have to do is embroider the picture of Hundreds of Sons and Thousands of Grandsons."
Hua Zhuo shook his head, but said: "Once this kind of thing is exposed, it will be good if she is not scared to death. How can she still serve her father like before? Instead of letting her be absent-minded, it is better to let her go to a quiet place to reflect. Mammy, you have to find someone to keep an eye on her and not let her do anything, otherwise our good intentions may end up harming her."
"Qiqiao... go and ask mother... no, ask Nanny Liu to come over."
Hua Zhuo shook his head, but said: "Once this kind of thing is exposed, it will be good if she is not scared to death. How can she still serve her father like before? Instead of letting her be absent-minded, it is better to let her go to a quiet place to reflect. Mammy, you have to find someone to keep an eye on her and not let her do anything, otherwise our good intentions may end up harming her."
"Mommy, how do you think this kind of thing should be handled?" Hua Zhuo couldn't express her suspicions because they were all unfounded matters. However, the affair between the maid and her husband was already very serious. It's over.
Hua Zhuo thought for a while and finally came up with a compromise, saying: "Jiu Hui has served her father with all her heart these years. There is no merit but hard work. If she is dealt with harshly, it will only chill the hearts of others who don't know the inside story." , but this matter is very serious. If word gets out, our Washington government will lose face, so we must not tolerate it. According to my wishes, let Jiuhui tell who the man is and let him pay. The redemption of Jiuhui and the subsequent marriage have nothing to do with our Washington, and the Washington will not pursue their affair. Do you think this is okay?"
Aunt Liu arrived in time and asked as soon as she entered the door: "Miss, what's wrong with Jiuhui?"
Mrs. Fang had already changed her clothes, washed her face and hands, and was sitting on the soft couch with a cup of cloud tea in her hand. She was eating and talking to Sanchun. Suddenly she saw Hua Zhuo coming in without waiting for the announcement, so she smiled and said : "I was about to see you, but why did I come here? No wonder people often say that mothers and daughters are connected."
"Don't worry, miss. Grandma is aware of the seriousness of this matter."
Hua Zhuo thought for a while and finally came up with a compromise, saying: "Jiu Hui has served her father with all her heart these years. There is no merit but hard work. If she is dealt with harshly, it will only chill the hearts of others who don't know the inside story." , but this matter is very serious.

"You don't need to worry about Zhuangzi's affairs. For now, all you have to do is embroider the picture of Hundreds of Sons and Thousands of Grandsons."
Fang responded with a smile, but suddenly saw Hua Zhuo sending Ba Xiu out to guard the door, and then showed a gesture of hesitating to speak. She immediately knew that something was wrong, and the matter was serious, otherwise her daughter would not have sent San Chun away. , she subconsciously sat up straight and said slightly surprised: "What's wrong?"
Fang was stunned for a moment, and then she came to her senses and said with shame: "I'm not as clear-minded as you, and I have to be on guard against others. I've been so used to it all these years, that I forgot... Zhuo'er, In this case, I will do as you say. Jiu Hui is willing to tell the truth and since she has served her with all my heart these years, I will spare her once and make her and the man happy. If she is stubborn, I will Don't blame me for not caring about the relationship between master and servant, not only her, but also her father and brothers were sold into lowly labor."
"Miss...Miss, madam is back."
After all, she is getting better with old age. Hua Zhuo suddenly invited her here and asked Baxiu to guard the door. It was mysterious and mysterious. Naturally, there was something big going on. And what happened today, only Jiu Hui leaving the house without permission was the most suspicious.
Aunt Liu knew that the matter was of great importance, so she went straight to Jiuhui's room without any delay after leaving the show pavilion, and sat there waiting for Jiuhui to come back. Hua Zhuo was still uneasy in her heart. In the last life, the Hua family ended up in ruins. The account book that was the key evidence that made her father unable to argue had anything to do with Jiu Hui. This doubt was like a cat's paw, tickling her from time to time. Heart.
Mrs. Fang was startled. She was worried that Baxiu was naive and had spilled the beans, but she heard Baxiu's voice again: "Miss asked me to come out to see why my sister's tea hasn't been brewed yet."
Aunt Liu let out a long sigh and said: "Jiu Hui has been in the house for ten years. At first, my wife personally trained her and taught her how to read. Later, I saw that she was careful and steady, and she was not talkative, so she was specially sent It has been five years since she served in such an important place as the study. Alas, no wonder it is said that girls who are young are not allowed to stay. The girls in our house are usually qualified to go out at the age of fifteen or sixteen. She was only allowed to stay until she was eighteen years old. The master and his wife originally wanted to wait until she turned eighteen before matching her with a promising boy. Now that day is approaching, how could she be so confused? Miss, I guess I don’t think Jiu Hui has any intentions. She is old and there is no woman who is not pregnant. Why don’t we just let her out of the house? Don’t wait until something scandalous happens. Then it won’t be worth beating her to death. .”
Mrs. Fang had already changed her clothes, washed her face and hands, and was sitting on the soft couch with a cup of cloud tea in her hand. She was eating and talking to Sanchun. Suddenly she saw Hua Zhuo coming in without waiting for the announcement, so she smiled and said : "I was about to see you, but why did I come here?

She immediately knew that something was wrong, and the matter was serious, otherwise her daughter would not have sent San Chun away. , she subconsciously sat up straight and said slightly surprised: "What's wrong?"
Grandma Liu thought about it and realized that what the young lady said made sense. A timid woman would be frightened to death if her affair was exposed. Jiu Hui was usually taciturn, but she was actually a fierce person in her heart. At that time, I couldn't wipe out my face for a while, so I committed suicide and wiped out the young lady and all her good intentions.
Miharu smiled slightly and said: "Miss, if you want to have tea, just ask me. It's my honor to make tea for you." After saying that, he turned around and went to the waiter.
"Qiqiao, tell me."
"Miss, this is a good deal, but Madam..." Seeing that Hua Zhuo did not severely punish Jiuhui, Grandma Liu felt happy in her heart. She had watched Jiuhui grow up, but she really couldn't bear to see her end miserably. However, Madam hates the maid the most for causing such a scandal, and is afraid that she may not let Jiu Hui go lightly.
As she spoke, she sighed again and said, "Thankfully we discovered this first. If someone outside found out..." Before she could finish her words, she heard Miharu's voice at the door.
Hua Zhuo thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt. Aunt Liu was mature and prudent, and her mother was not in the house now, so she could only discuss it with her.

"Mommy, how do you think this kind of thing should be handled?" Hua Zhuo couldn't express her suspicions because they were all unfounded matters. However, the affair between the maid and her husband was already very serious. It's over.
Hua Zhuo had a serious expression on his face and asked Qiqiao to tell Nanny Liu what he saw again. Nanny Liu was so shocked that her expression also changed drastically. She clapped her legs with her hands and said, "How could this girl do such a stupid thing?" Come… "
This time Hua Zhuo didn't let Qiqiao talk, but he thought about it and told Jiu Hui's matter, and how he dealt with Jiu Hui. When Fang heard this, he said angrily: "Confused, this kind of How could we let that bitch off so easily? She has ruined the reputation of my family in Washington, so we must not let her off lightly."
"Mom, what's going on at Zhuangzi?" Hua Zhuo sat down next to Fang and said to Sanchun with a smile: "This tea is so fragrant. Sister Sanchun must have brewed it herself. I don't know if I have such a good taste."
"Mommy, how do you think this kind of thing should be handled?" Hua Zhuo couldn't express her suspicions because they were all unfounded matters. However, the affair between the maid and her husband was already very serious. It's over.

"This silly girl has become a bit smarter after following you..."
Aunt Liu let out a long sigh and said: "Jiu Hui has been in the house for ten years. At first, my wife personally trained her and taught her how to read.

Hua Zhuo thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt. Aunt Liu was mature and prudent, and her mother was not in the house now, so she could only discuss it with her.
Hua Zhuo took a deep breath, and did not go to see his mother immediately. Instead, he gathered his thoughts and thought carefully about how to tell his mother about this matter. After more than half an hour, he stood up and took Qiqiao with him. He and Baxiu walked across the courtyard to the west.
Hua Zhuo heard that Nanny Liu meant to plead for Jiuhui. Otherwise, if something like this happened, she would be kicked out of the house even if she was not beaten to death. But what Nanny Liu said was to let her out. This is another layer of meaning. Letting her go out of the house naturally means letting her go out to get married. According to the custom, the Hua family has to pay a decent dowry for her.
Aunt Liu knew that the matter was of great importance, so she went straight to Jiuhui's room without any delay after leaving the show pavilion, and sat there waiting for Jiuhui to come back.

The account book that was the key evidence that made her father unable to argue had anything to do with Jiu Hui. This doubt was like a cat's paw, tickling her from time to time. Heart.
"What mother said is that her daughter has other ideas." Hua Zhuo did not refute, and followed Fang's tone, "Jiu Hui is confused. My daughter spared her not just because of her years of service to her father, but because she wanted to She tells who the man is, and if she is severely punished, and she becomes determined and simply wants to die, wouldn’t it be impossible to know who the man is? Mother, think about it, Jiu Hui is a maid, It’s not like she’s stunning, why should a rich young man like her?”
Fang gave Hua Zhuo an appreciative look, and Hua Zhuo smiled back and said, "She's not stupid to begin with, she just doesn't like to think too much. Now that she knows the matter is serious, she doesn't know how to be smarter..."
"Mommy... This is not good. If someone imitates this in the future, wouldn't it mean that our family tradition in Washington is gone..."
Hua Zhuo shook his head, but said: "Once this kind of thing is exposed, it will be good if she is not scared to death. How can she still serve her father like before? Instead of letting her be absent-minded, it is better to let her go to a quiet place to reflect.

She immediately knew that something was wrong, and the matter was serious, otherwise her daughter would not have sent San Chun away. , she subconsciously sat up straight and said slightly surprised: "What's wrong?"
"Baxiu, what are you doing guarding the house?"
Fang was not a stupid person. When Hua Zhuo said this, she understood. She was startled and said in her heart: "Could it be that you have some ulterior motive? Jiuhui is in charge of your father's study...ah..."
Hua Zhuo said slowly, how could she be willing to let Jiuhui go out of the house like this? If she couldn't figure out the problem of the account book that appeared inexplicably in the study for a day, she would have trouble sleeping and eating, but if she thought about it again, she would not be able to sleep well. It was still more than a year before the incident occurred, and the problem with the accounting books might not have arisen at all. Even if Jiuhui was captured and tortured in private, nothing would be found out. She felt embarrassed again, and it didn't seem appropriate to deal with Jiuhui severely just to catch up on something, or even something that hadn't even happened yet.
Fang responded with a smile, but suddenly saw Hua Zhuo sending Ba Xiu out to guard the door, and then showed a gesture of hesitating to speak. She immediately knew that something was wrong, and the matter was serious, otherwise her daughter would not have sent San Chun away. , she subconsciously sat up straight and said slightly surprised: "What's wrong?"

Hua Zhuo thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt. Aunt Liu was mature and prudent, and her mother was not in the house now, so she could only discuss it with her.
Aunt Liu's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Hua Zhuo was going to be severely punished. She suddenly couldn't bear it and asked cautiously: "What do you mean, Miss?"
"Baxiu, what are you doing guarding the house?"
This time Hua Zhuo didn't let Qiqiao talk, but he thought about it and told Jiu Hui's matter, and how he dealt with Jiu Hui. When Fang heard this, he said angrily: "Confused, this kind of How could we let that bitch off so easily? She has ruined the reputation of my family in Washington, so we must not let her off lightly."
If it is him, then it is almost certain that the Zhao family must have something to do with what happened in the previous life. A person who despises these slaves and maids the most would have an affair with a maid of the Hua family. It is strange that he has some other agenda.
Mrs. Fang had already changed her clothes, washed her face and hands, and was sitting on the soft couch with a cup of cloud tea in her hand. She was eating and talking to Sanchun. Suddenly she saw Hua Zhuo coming in without waiting for the announcement, so she smiled and said : "I was about to see you, but why did I come here?

"Miss, this is a good deal, but Madam..." Seeing that Hua Zhuo did not severely punish Jiuhui, Grandma Liu felt happy in her heart. She had watched Jiuhui grow up, but she really couldn't bear to see her end miserably. However, Madam hates the maid the most for causing such a scandal, and is afraid that she may not let Jiu Hui go lightly.
Fang's expression changed greatly and she said, "Why is this so? Your father has always been a peaceful official and has never offended anyone..."
"Miss, this is a good deal, but Madam..." Seeing that Hua Zhuo did not severely punish Jiuhui, Grandma Liu felt happy in her heart. She had watched Jiuhui grow up, but she really couldn't bear to see her end miserably.

Hua Zhuo thought for a moment and said, "I'll go and persuade my mother, and I'll leave it to my grandma to tell Jiu Hui. Xiu'er has been in the study for a while, so she should know how to take care of her. Jiu Hui is temporarily here." So she was transferred to the guest house to clean the house, where there were few people and it was quiet, so my grandma tried to persuade her to tell her the identity of the man, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to speak at my mother’s side.”
"Don't worry, miss. Grandma is aware of the seriousness of this matter."
"Baxiu, what are you doing guarding the house?"
Fang was not a stupid person. When Hua Zhuo said this, she understood. She was startled and said in her heart: "Could it be that you have some ulterior motive? Jiuhui is in charge of your father's study...ah..."

"This... I'm afraid I'm not used to moving her away from the study rashly." Grandma Liu said again.
"This silly girl has become a bit smarter after following you..."
Hua Zhuo shook his head, but said: "Once this kind of thing is exposed, it will be good if she is not scared to death. How can she still serve her father like before?

"Mom, what's going on at Zhuangzi?" Hua Zhuo sat down next to Fang and said to Sanchun with a smile: "This tea is so fragrant. Sister Sanchun must have brewed it herself. I don't know if I have such a good taste."
Hua Zhuo shook his head, but said: "Once this kind of thing is exposed, it will be good if she is not scared to death. How can she still serve her father like before?

Mammy, you have to find someone to keep an eye on her and not let her do anything, otherwise our good intentions may end up harming her."
If it is him, then it is almost certain that the Zhao family must have something to do with what happened in the previous life. A person who despises these slaves and maids the most would have an affair with a maid of the Hua family. It is strange that he has some other agenda.
Grandma Liu thought about it and realized that what the young lady said made sense. A timid woman would be frightened to death if her affair was exposed. Jiu Hui was usually taciturn, but she was actually a fierce person in her heart. At that time, I couldn't wipe out my face for a while, so I committed suicide and wiped out the young lady and all her good intentions.
As long as you know who the man is, there will naturally be clues to find it, and it can be confirmed whether the account book has anything to do with Jiuhui.
"Miss...Miss, madam is back."
"Don't worry, miss. Grandma is aware of the seriousness of this matter."
"Qiqiao, tell me."
Aunt Liu knew that the matter was of great importance, so she went straight to Jiuhui's room without any delay after leaving the show pavilion, and sat there waiting for Jiuhui to come back. Hua Zhuo was still uneasy in her heart. In the last life, the Hua family ended up in ruins. The account book that was the key evidence that made her father unable to argue had anything to do with Jiu Hui. This doubt was like a cat's paw, tickling her from time to time. Heart.

Hua Zhuo thought for a while and finally came up with a compromise, saying: "Jiu Hui has served her father with all her heart these years. There is no merit but hard work. If she is dealt with harshly, it will only chill the hearts of others who don't know the inside story." , but this matter is very serious. If word gets out, our Washington government will lose face, so we must not tolerate it. According to my wishes, let Jiuhui tell who the man is and let him pay. The redemption of Jiuhui and the subsequent marriage have nothing to do with our Washington, and the Washington will not pursue their affair. Do you think this is okay?"
"You don't need to worry about Zhuangzi's affairs. For now, all you have to do is embroider the picture of Hundreds of Sons and Thousands of Grandsons."
Is that man Zhao Boliang, the eldest son of the Zhao family
"Baxiu, what are you doing guarding the house?"
"What mother said is that her daughter has other ideas." Hua Zhuo did not refute, and followed Fang's tone, "Jiu Hui is confused. My daughter spared her not just because of her years of service to her father, but because she wanted to She tells who the man is, and if she is severely punished, and she becomes determined and simply wants to die, wouldn’t it be impossible to know who the man is? Mother, think about it, Jiu Hui is a maid, It’s not like she’s stunning, why should a rich young man like her?”
Hua Zhuo took a deep breath, and did not go to see his mother immediately. Instead, he gathered his thoughts and thought carefully about how to tell his mother about this matter. After more than half an hour, he stood up and took Qiqiao with him. He and Baxiu walked across the courtyard to the west.
If it is him, then it is almost certain that the Zhao family must have something to do with what happened in the previous life. A person who despises these slaves and maids the most would have an affair with a maid of the Hua family. It is strange that he has some other agenda.
"Miss, this is a good deal, but Madam..." Seeing that Hua Zhuo did not severely punish Jiuhui, Grandma Liu felt happy in her heart. She had watched Jiuhui grow up, but she really couldn't bear to see her end miserably. However, Madam hates the maid the most for causing such a scandal, and is afraid that she may not let Jiu Hui go lightly.
Fang's expression changed greatly and she said, "Why is this so? Your father has always been a peaceful official and has never offended anyone..."

Hua Zhuo had a serious expression on his face and asked Qiqiao to tell Nanny Liu what he saw again. Nanny Liu was so shocked that her expression also changed drastically. She clapped her legs with her hands and said, "How could this girl do such a stupid thing?" Come… "
"Qiqiao, tell me."
Fang was not a stupid person. When Hua Zhuo said this, she understood. She was startled and said in her heart: "Could it be that you have some ulterior motive? Jiuhui is in charge of your father's study...ah..."
"What mother said is that her daughter has other ideas." Hua Zhuo did not refute, and followed Fang's tone, "Jiu Hui is confused. My daughter spared her not just because of her years of service to her father, but because she wanted to She tells who the man is, and if she is severely punished, and she becomes determined and simply wants to die, wouldn’t it be impossible to know who the man is?

She had watched Jiuhui grow up, but she really couldn't bear to see her end miserably. However, Madam hates the maid the most for causing such a scandal, and is afraid that she may not let Jiu Hui go lightly.
Qiqiao hurriedly came to report. Obviously she also knew that although the young lady and Aunt Liu had already discussed the matter about Jiuhui, the final decision was still made by the madam, so she always paid attention to the movement at the gate. When she came back, she came to report the news before she even entered the gate of the West Cross Courtyard.
Hua Zhuo thought for a while and finally came up with a compromise, saying: "Jiu Hui has served her father with all her heart these years. There is no merit but hard work. If she is dealt with harshly, it will only chill the hearts of others who don't know the inside story." , but this matter is very serious.

The redemption of Jiuhui and the subsequent marriage have nothing to do with our Washington, and the Washington will not pursue their affair. Do you think this is okay?"
"Qiqiao... go and ask mother... no, ask Nanny Liu to come over."
Aunt Liu arrived in time and asked as soon as she entered the door: "Miss, what's wrong with Jiuhui?"
Just as he was talking, Miharu and Baxiu had already lifted the curtain and came in. Hua Zhuo kept silent. The less people knew about this kind of thing, the better. Although Miharu was her mother's confidant, she and Jiuhui grew up together. , The feelings are very shallow, so let’s keep it a secret for the time being.
Hua Zhuo thought for a moment and said, "I'll go and persuade my mother, and I'll leave it to my grandma to tell Jiu Hui. Xiu'er has been in the study for a while, so she should know how to take care of her. Jiu Hui is temporarily here." So she was transferred to the guest house to clean the house, where there were few people and it was quiet, so my grandma tried to persuade her to tell her the identity of the man, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to speak at my mother’s side.”
"Mom, what's going on at Zhuangzi?" Hua Zhuo sat down next to Fang and said to Sanchun with a smile: "This tea is so fragrant. Sister Sanchun must have brewed it herself. I don't know if I have such a good taste."
This time Hua Zhuo didn't let Qiqiao talk, but he thought about it and told Jiu Hui's matter, and how he dealt with Jiu Hui. When Fang heard this, he said angrily: "Confused, this kind of How could we let that bitch off so easily? She has ruined the reputation of my family in Washington, so we must not let her off lightly."
"This... I'm afraid I'm not used to moving her away from the study rashly." Grandma Liu said again.
Hua Zhuo took a deep breath, and did not go to see his mother immediately. Instead, he gathered his thoughts and thought carefully about how to tell his mother about this matter. After more than half an hour, he stood up and took Qiqiao with him. He and Baxiu walked across the courtyard to the west.
Fang's expression changed greatly and she said, "Why is this so? Your father has always been a peaceful official and has never offended anyone..."
Aunt Liu's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Hua Zhuo was going to be severely punished. She suddenly couldn't bear it and asked cautiously: "What do you mean, Miss?"
Mrs. Fang had already changed her clothes, washed her face and hands, and was sitting on the soft couch with a cup of cloud tea in her hand. She was eating and talking to Sanchun. Suddenly she saw Hua Zhuo coming in without waiting for the announcement, so she smiled and said : "I was about to see you, but why did I come here? No wonder people often say that mothers and daughters are connected."
Hua Zhuo shook his head, but said: "Once this kind of thing is exposed, it will be good if she is not scared to death. How can she still serve her father like before? Instead of letting her be absent-minded, it is better to let her go to a quiet place to reflect. Mammy, you have to find someone to keep an eye on her and not let her do anything, otherwise our good intentions may end up harming her."
Aunt Liu arrived in time and asked as soon as she entered the door: "Miss, what's wrong with Jiuhui?"

If it is him, then it is almost certain that the Zhao family must have something to do with what happened in the previous life. A person who despises these slaves and maids the most would have an affair with a maid of the Hua family. It is strange that he has some other agenda.
Fang was stunned for a moment, and then she came to her senses and said with shame: "I'm not as clear-minded as you, and I have to be on guard against others. I've been so used to it all these years, that I forgot... Zhuo'er, In this case, I will do as you say. Jiu Hui is willing to tell the truth and since she has served her with all my heart these years, I will spare her once and make her and the man happy. If she is stubborn, I will Don't blame me for not caring about the relationship between master and servant, not only her, but also her father and brothers were sold into lowly labor."
Fang gave Hua Zhuo an appreciative look, and Hua Zhuo smiled back and said, "She's not stupid to begin with, she just doesn't like to think too much. Now that she knows the matter is serious, she doesn't know how to be smarter..."
"Mom, what's going on at Zhuangzi?" Hua Zhuo sat down next to Fang and said to Sanchun with a smile: "This tea is so fragrant. Sister Sanchun must have brewed it herself. I don't know if I have such a good taste."

Mother, think about it, Jiu Hui is a maid, It’s not like she’s stunning, why should a rich young man like her?”
Miharu smiled slightly and said: "Miss, if you want to have tea, just ask me. It's my honor to make tea for you." After saying that, he turned around and went to the waiter.
"Mommy... This is not good. If someone imitates this in the future, wouldn't it mean that our family tradition in Washington is gone..."
Aunt Liu knew that the matter was of great importance, so she went straight to Jiuhui's room without any delay after leaving the show pavilion, and sat there waiting for Jiuhui to come back. Hua Zhuo was still uneasy in her heart. In the last life, the Hua family ended up in ruins. The account book that was the key evidence that made her father unable to argue had anything to do with Jiu Hui. This doubt was like a cat's paw, tickling her from time to time. Heart.
"Baxiu, what are you doing guarding the house?"
Miharu smiled slightly and said: "Miss, if you want to have tea, just ask me. It's my honor to make tea for you." After saying that, he turned around and went to the waiter.
Qiqiao hurriedly came to report.

Although Miharu was her mother's confidant, she and Jiuhui grew up together. , The feelings are very shallow, so let’s keep it a secret for the time being.
"Mommy, how do you think this kind of thing should be handled?" Hua Zhuo couldn't express her suspicions because they were all unfounded matters. However, the affair between the maid and her husband was already very serious. It's over.
Aunt Liu let out a long sigh and said: "Jiu Hui has been in the house for ten years. At first, my wife personally trained her and taught her how to read. Later, I saw that she was careful and steady, and she was not talkative, so she was specially sent It has been five years since she served in such an important place as the study. Alas, no wonder it is said that girls who are young are not allowed to stay. The girls in our house are usually qualified to go out at the age of fifteen or sixteen. She was only allowed to stay until she was eighteen years old. The master and his wife originally wanted to wait until she turned eighteen before matching her with a promising boy. Now that day is approaching, how could she be so confused? Miss, I guess I don’t think Jiu Hui has any intentions. She is old and there is no woman who is not pregnant. Why don’t we just let her out of the house? Don’t wait until something scandalous happens. Then it won’t be worth beating her to death. .”
"Mommy... This is not good. If someone imitates this in the future, wouldn't it mean that our family tradition in Washington is gone..."
"Qiqiao... go and ask mother... no, ask Nanny Liu to come over."
As she spoke, she sighed again and said, "Thankfully we discovered this first. If someone outside found out..." Before she could finish her words, she heard Miharu's voice at the door.
Fang was stunned for a moment, and then she came to her senses and said with shame: "I'm not as clear-minded as you, and I have to be on guard against others. I've been so used to it all these years, that I forgot... Zhuo'er, In this case, I will do as you say.

Fang responded with a smile, but suddenly saw Hua Zhuo sending Ba Xiu out to guard the door, and then showed a gesture of hesitating to speak. She immediately knew that something was wrong, and the matter was serious, otherwise her daughter would not have sent San Chun away. , she subconsciously sat up straight and said slightly surprised: "What's wrong?"
"Mom, you must be on guard against others..." Hua Zhuo interrupted her.
"You don't need to worry about Zhuangzi's affairs. For now, all you have to do is embroider the picture of Hundreds of Sons and Thousands of Grandsons."
"This silly girl has become a bit smarter after following you..."
Hua Zhuo took a deep breath, and did not go to see his mother immediately. Instead, he gathered his thoughts and thought carefully about how to tell his mother about this matter. After more than half an hour, he stood up and took Qiqiao with him. He and Baxiu walked across the courtyard to the west.
"Don't worry, miss. Grandma is aware of the seriousness of this matter."
Hua Zhuo thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt. Aunt Liu was mature and prudent, and her mother was not in the house now, so she could only discuss it with her.
Just as he was talking, Miharu and Baxiu had already lifted the curtain and came in. Hua Zhuo kept silent. The less people knew about this kind of thing, the better. Although Miharu was her mother's confidant, she and Jiuhui grew up together. , The feelings are very shallow, so let’s keep it a secret for the time being.

Hua Zhuo heard that Nanny Liu meant to plead for Jiuhui. Otherwise, if something like this happened, she would be kicked out of the house even if she was not beaten to death. But what Nanny Liu said was to let her out. This is another layer of meaning. Letting her go out of the house naturally means letting her go out to get married. According to the custom, the Hua family has to pay a decent dowry for her.
"Miss...Miss, madam is back."
"Mommy, how do you think this kind of thing should be handled?" Hua Zhuo couldn't express her suspicions because they were all unfounded matters. However, the affair between the maid and her husband was already very serious. It's over.

So she was transferred to the guest house to clean the house, where there were few people and it was quiet, so my grandma tried to persuade her to tell her the identity of the man, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to speak at my mother’s side.”
Hua Zhuo nodded solemnly and said: "Dad often brings some official documents back. The study is such a big place, it is inevitable that there will be some confidential documents. If one or two pieces are lost, that's it. At most, it is just a matter of poor storage, but if there are too many What's going to kill you?"
Hua Zhuo thought for a while and finally came up with a compromise, saying: "Jiu Hui has served her father with all her heart these years. There is no merit but hard work. If she is dealt with harshly, it will only chill the hearts of others who don't know the inside story." , but this matter is very serious. If word gets out, our Washington government will lose face, so we must not tolerate it. According to my wishes, let Jiuhui tell who the man is and let him pay. The redemption of Jiuhui and the subsequent marriage have nothing to do with our Washington, and the Washington will not pursue their affair. Do you think this is okay?"
Just as he was talking, Miharu and Baxiu had already lifted the curtain and came in. Hua Zhuo kept silent. The less people knew about this kind of thing, the better.

Miharu smiled slightly and said: "Miss, if you want to have tea, just ask me. It's my honor to make tea for you." After saying that, he turned around and went to the waiter.

She was only allowed to stay until she was eighteen years old. The master and his wife originally wanted to wait until she turned eighteen before matching her with a promising boy. Now that day is approaching, how could she be so confused? Miss, I guess I don’t think Jiu Hui has any intentions. She is old and there is no woman who is not pregnant. Why don’t we just let her out of the house? Don’t wait until something scandalous happens. Then it won’t be worth beating her to death. .”
"Baxiu, what are you doing guarding the house?"
After all, she is getting better with old age. Hua Zhuo suddenly invited her here and asked Baxiu to guard the door. It was mysterious and mysterious. Naturally, there was something big going on. And what happened today, only Jiu Hui leaving the house without permission was the most suspicious.
Grandma Liu thought about it and realized that what the young lady said made sense. A timid woman would be frightened to death if her affair was exposed. Jiu Hui was usually taciturn, but she was actually a fierce person in her heart. At that time, I couldn't wipe out my face for a while, so I committed suicide and wiped out the young lady and all her good intentions.
Is that man Zhao Boliang, the eldest son of the Zhao family
Mrs. Fang was startled. She was worried that Baxiu was naive and had spilled the beans, but she heard Baxiu's voice again: "Miss asked me to come out to see why my sister's tea hasn't been brewed yet."
Hua Zhuo nodded solemnly and said: "Dad often brings some official documents back. The study is such a big place, it is inevitable that there will be some confidential documents. If one or two pieces are lost, that's it. At most, it is just a matter of poor storage, but if there are too many What's going to kill you?"
Fang gave Hua Zhuo an appreciative look, and Hua Zhuo smiled back and said, "She's not stupid to begin with, she just doesn't like to think too much. Now that she knows the matter is serious, she doesn't know how to be smarter..."
Mrs. Fang had already changed her clothes, washed her face and hands, and was sitting on the soft couch with a cup of cloud tea in her hand. She was eating and talking to Sanchun. Suddenly she saw Hua Zhuo coming in without waiting for the announcement, so she smiled and said : "I was about to see you, but why did I come here? No wonder people often say that mothers and daughters are connected."
Hua Zhuo had a serious expression on his face and asked Qiqiao to tell Nanny Liu what he saw again. Nanny Liu was so shocked that her expression also changed drastically. She clapped her legs with her hands and said, "How could this girl do such a stupid thing?" Come… "
Qiqiao hurriedly came to report. Obviously she also knew that although the young lady and Aunt Liu had already discussed the matter about Jiuhui, the final decision was still made by the madam, so she always paid attention to the movement at the gate. When she came back, she came to report the news before she even entered the gate of the West Cross Courtyard.
"This silly girl has become a bit smarter after following you..."
Fang gave Hua Zhuo an appreciative look, and Hua Zhuo smiled back and said, "She's not stupid to begin with, she just doesn't like to think too much. Now that she knows the matter is serious, she doesn't know how to be smarter..."

As she spoke, she sighed again and said, "Thankfully we discovered this first. If someone outside found out..." Before she could finish her words, she heard Miharu's voice at the door.
Miharu smiled slightly and said: "Miss, if you want to have tea, just ask me. It's my honor to make tea for you." After saying that, he turned around and went to the waiter.
"This silly girl has become a bit smarter after following you..."
Fang gave Hua Zhuo an appreciative look, and Hua Zhuo smiled back and said, "She's not stupid to begin with, she just doesn't like to think too much. Now that she knows the matter is serious, she doesn't know how to be smarter..."
"You don't need to worry about Zhuangzi's affairs. For now, all you have to do is embroider the picture of Hundreds of Sons and Thousands of Grandsons."
Aunt Liu arrived in time and asked as soon as she entered the door: "Miss, what's wrong with Jiuhui?"
Qiqiao hurriedly came to report. Obviously she also knew that although the young lady and Aunt Liu had already discussed the matter about Jiuhui, the final decision was still made by the madam, so she always paid attention to the movement at the gate. When she came back, she came to report the news before she even entered the gate of the West Cross Courtyard.
Hua Zhuo thought for a moment and said, "I'll go and persuade my mother, and I'll leave it to my grandma to tell Jiu Hui. Xiu'er has been in the study for a while, so she should know how to take care of her. Jiu Hui is temporarily here." So she was transferred to the guest house to clean the house, where there were few people and it was quiet, so my grandma tried to persuade her to tell her the identity of the man, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to speak at my mother’s side.”
Just as he was talking, Miharu and Baxiu had already lifted the curtain and came in. Hua Zhuo kept silent. The less people knew about this kind of thing, the better. Although Miharu was her mother's confidant, she and Jiuhui grew up together. , The feelings are very shallow, so let’s keep it a secret for the time being.
Hua Zhuo said slowly, how could she be willing to let Jiuhui go out of the house like this? If she couldn't figure out the problem of the account book that appeared inexplicably in the study for a day, she would have trouble sleeping and eating, but if she thought about it again, she would not be able to sleep well. It was still more than a year before the incident occurred, and the problem with the accounting books might not have arisen at all. Even if Jiuhui was captured and tortured in private, nothing would be found out. She felt embarrassed again, and it didn't seem appropriate to deal with Jiuhui severely just to catch up on something, or even something that hadn't even happened yet.
Hua Zhuo shook his head, but said: "Once this kind of thing is exposed, it will be good if she is not scared to death. How can she still serve her father like before? Instead of letting her be absent-minded, it is better to let her go to a quiet place to reflect. Mammy, you have to find someone to keep an eye on her and not let her do anything, otherwise our good intentions may end up harming her."
