I couldn't help but stretched out my fist and punched my stomach several times, but there was still nothing in my stomach. Aunt Mei was always trembling with fear every time the master came over. She was afraid that the master would find out the clues. Fortunately, Zhuang Shiyang was obsessed with the Zhou family, which gave her a chance to breathe. However, she still felt uneasy in her heart. Every time she thought of herself Maybe if a loophole is discovered, I can't help but break out in a cold sweat. The maid Jiao Meng on the side was startled and quickly stopped her movement: "Auntie, you must not..."
Aunt Mei looked at her angrily: "What are you afraid of? After all, there is nothing..." Just because she has a double body in her belly, she has not been intimate with the master for a long time. The scandalous incident between the master and the eldest Zhou family still reached her ears. Although she was glad that the Zhou family could buy some time for her to hide it, Aunt Mei felt itchy with hatred when she thought of the master in that woman's arms every day. After finally waiting for the collapse of the Zhou family, a big Zhou family suddenly appeared. It is really easy for the Zhou family to produce such charming people.
Jiaomeng shook her head: "Auntie, if someone sees her..." Before she finished speaking, she heard a maid coming from outside to report: Auntie Zhou is here.
Aunt Mei quickly adjusted her clothes and leaned on the couch softly, looking tired... People who are pregnant with twins are the most lethargic. There were some doubts in her heart as to what Mrs. Zhou was doing here. A few days ago, Mrs. Zhou came over to please her. She kept her attitude very low and talked about Han Yan being favored intentionally or unintentionally. She didn't know what it meant. Originally she didn't want to talk to her, but when she heard that Han Yan's elevated status might lead to Zhuang Hanming's elevated status, she felt a little uneasy. Such uneasiness made her talk to Mr. Zhou every day for a while, trying to get information about Han Yan's current situation from Mr. Zhou.
She knew that Zhou's elder sister, Zhou, was very capable and had many eyes and ears in the Zhuang Mansion. Because I am pregnant with twins, I cannot go out to Furong Garden often.
Just when I thought of this, I saw Ms. Zhou walking in with her face covered with a handkerchief and crying.
"What's going on?" Aunt Mei asked in surprise.
Mrs. Zhou didn't say anything, and sat down on the small chair in front of the couch. The maid next to Mrs. Zhou said angrily, "Our aunt is angry with the fourth lady."
Han Yan? Aunt Mei rolled her eyes. She had heard from her servants about Han Yan's return to the house yesterday. She heard that Zhuang Shiyang didn't dare to act casually in front of Han Yan now. Was Mrs. Zhou crying because of Han Yan? Aunt Mei was so angry that she didn't believe it. Mrs. Zhou wanted to use this incident to free up something, but Aunt Mei believed it.
She smiled slightly: "If Sister Zhou has something to do, you might as well tell Mei'er. Only when Mei'er knows about it can she share her worries." Her words were full of worry, but when she listened carefully, there was a trace of a smile. It was condescending. A kind of sneer. Indeed, Aunt Zhou's status in the Zhuang Mansion is far inferior to that of Aunt Mei. Thinking about how Zhou used the master's love for her to provoke him when he first came in, and look at her now that she is silent to him. With such respect, Aunt Mei felt an indescribable pleasure.
Zhou naturally heard the sarcasm in her words, and her expression darkened a bit. When she raised her head, she felt as if she had been greatly wronged, with tears streaming down her face: "Sister, when Fourth Miss comes back this time, I'm afraid you won't be in the house without you." The two of us have taken our place.”
Aunt Mei's hand holding the tea paused slightly, her expression calm: "Where do you start talking about this?"
Aunt Zhou wiped away her tears: "Yesterday, the fourth young lady returned home, and I and the master went to greet her. I never thought that the fourth young lady would ridicule me as soon as she saw me. I couldn't stand it, so I replied a few words. As a result, ... In the end, she actually threatened her." After crying a few times, Aunt Zhou continued: "The master saw me and didn't say anything... Sister, tell me, it's not the fourth lady who has the final say in this village's mansion now. "
Aunt Mei looked at her fingers leisurely. Those slender white fingers were painted with bright red kodan, making them look extraordinarily delicate. Zhou's words were meant for her. No matter what Mr. Zhou said today, was he just trying to accuse? not necessarily. She smiled and looked at Mrs. Zhou: "The fourth lady is now Princess Xuanqing, so she is naturally more precious. But what does my sister mean by these words?"
Seeing Aunt Mei's unhurried look, Mrs. Zhou was shocked in her heart. This bitch has become smarter now. Fortunately, Mrs. Zhou has taught her. Mrs. Zhou smiled: "Of course I can't do anything by myself. Yes, if we add you as my sister... I think the fourth young lady will also be more respectful to us."
She was showing her kindness to herself, hoping that she could help deal with Zhuang Hanyan, Aunt Mei thought in her heart, but she smiled on her face and said, "I don't know why Sister Zhou thinks that I will help you."
Mrs. Zhou was not in a hurry now. She slowly wiped away the tears on her face with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "Miss Fourth is always a person who spends money and money. She hated me when I came into the house." , and later there were more conflicts with Yu'er, so now that she has gained power, she will take revenge on me. May I ask Aunt Mei, have you never offended our fourth lady?"
Aunt Mei was stunned and suddenly remembered how she used to bully Han Yan, mother and son. At that time, she was young and beautiful, and her master loved her very much. Aunt Wan was not afraid of her. Mrs. Wang occupied the title of a real wife. Their heads were really an eyesore, so Aunt Mei tried every means to torture them, slandering them one day and framing them tomorrow. At that time, Zhuang Hanming and Han Yan were often punished to kneel down in the ancestral hall because of themselves, and the relationship between Wang and the master became more and more blunt. I heard that Han Yan was very protective of her shortcomings. She didn't even allow anyone to touch the maid next to her. She had harmed her mother and younger brother. Wouldn't it be an even more heinous crime? If she was so ruthless in dealing with the Zhou family, then she would , wouldn’t it be more dangerous
Seeing that Aunt Mei's expression was a little relaxed, Mr. Zhou took the opportunity to strike while the iron was hot: "Now the Fourth Miss is already Princess Xuanqing, but she hasn't passed the exam yet, and she is so arrogant now. If she really passes the exam, wouldn't it be even more lawless? There is nothing I can do to her, tell me, where is there room for our sisters in this house?"
Aunt Mei frowned. What Zhou said made sense. When Zhou and she became enemies, Han Yan was on her side. But at that time, Zhou was still a powerful enemy. Now Zhou However, he is vulnerable and need not be taken seriously at all, while Han Yan is getting more and more beyond his control. Such an ally is too scary. If one day Han Yan regards him as an enemy, will he still have a way to survive? I am afraid that I am not even as good as the Zhou family. The Zhou family at least has a daughter, but she has not given birth to a son and a half for the master. After following Zhuang Shiyang for so long, Aunt Mei clearly understands that although Zhuang Shiyang once doted on her, he now loves her. Not bad, but once something happens to him, he will never do anything to protect himself.
