Xie Shizi's shameless daily life

Zhang Xuanjin raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother, why don't you go back and interrogate the maid first? Maybe there will be some clues."

"Second brother, what you said makes sense. Let's go back to the main hall first." After saying that, he walked back first.

"Wow" a basin of cold water was poured on the unconscious maid.

Because the water poured on her body formed an obvious temperature difference with her body temperature, the maid shivered with cold, her closed eyes moved, and then she opened them a little with difficulty.

The maid turned her head clumsily to both sides, and then her body softened as if she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

The maid knelt down hurriedly and said, "Master, I will tell you everything I know."

Zhang Xuan looked at her gloomily: "Really?"

The maidservant trembled all over and kowtowed to the ground: "I dare not lie!"

Zhao Shu looked at the frightened maid and sighed, reminding her, "The young man who has a relationship with your girl can't be a nobody."

The maid trembled and refused to answer.

Zhao Shu was helpless. She was indeed not good at prying words out of other people.

"Someone, drag him away and beat him with fifty sticks." Zhang Xuanyu said.

Two servants held the maid's arms, one on each side, and dragged her out.

The maid struggled hard, and when the servant was about to take her away, she finally spoke in a sobbing voice: "I, I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

Zhang Xuan raised his hand and waved slightly, and the two servants let go of the maid's arms.

The maid's face was covered with tears and snot. She crawled to Zhao Shu with both hands and feet, stretched out her hands to grab her skirt, and said anxiously: "I, I'll tell you."

"I'm listening, go ahead." Zhao Shu looked kind.

"Yes, it's Master Lu."

"Ok?"

The maid cautiously turned her head to look at the gentle Zhang Yijing. Seeing that she was also looking at her, she shrank her head and said, "It's Lu Shiqing, the son of Magistrate Lu."

Zhao Shu was stunned when she heard the answer, and immediately turned around to look at Zhang Yijing.

Zhang Yijing looked calm and indifferent, as if she was not surprised at all.

On the other hand, Li Ruomei jumped up as if her tail was on fire, pointing at the maid and scolding, "How dare you, a lowly maid, make up stories in front of me!"

"Someone, someone, drag this bitch away and beat her up." Li Ruomei's fingers were shaking with anger.

No, this maid must be kept, but before Zhao Shu could open her mouth, she was interrupted by laughter from the side.

"Oh, sister-in-law is so arrogant. Is it wrong to tell the truth?"

Li Ruomei was furious and turned her fingertips: "You, you..."

Zhao Shu looked at the two of them and raised her eyebrows. Compared to the confrontation between the two, she wanted to see her reaction more.

Zhang Yijing walked to Li Ruomei's side, stroked her hand, looked at her and said, "Mother, I believe in Brother Shiqing." She bowed to Zhang Xuanliang and said, "Third Uncle, be careful with your words."

"Hmph!" Zhang Xuanliang snorted heavily.

Zhang Xuanyu frowned: "Okay! Whether what this maid said is true or not is still to be discussed."

Zhang Xuanliang said anxiously, "Brother, what this maid said must be true!"

Zhao Shu interrupted the two and looked at the maid and asked, "Do you have any evidence?"

The maid nodded her head rapidly, "Yes, I have. I secretly kept the correspondence between the Third Miss and Master Lu."

"At first, Master Lu and the third young lady only exchanged letters because of the eldest young lady, but I don't know since when, Master Lu mentioned the eldest young lady less and less in his letters. After a while, the third young lady would not allow me to wait by her side when she read the letters, and would always find various reasons to send me away. I didn't notice it at first, but later, the third young lady would frequently ask me about the letters. If I said no, the third young lady would show a look of disappointment and melancholy, and if I said yes, the third young lady would smile with a smile on her face."

"The Third Miss's behavior was very different from usual. I was cautious and secretly took a few letters from her room. Later, I found out about the affair between the Third Miss and Mr. Lu."

Zhao Shu was a little surprised. According to her, Zhang Yining and Lu Shiqing got together because of Zhang Yijing.

"What about the letter?"

"Because I was afraid that it would be discovered by others, I hid it under the oleander tree next to the Third Lady's Courtyard."

Zhang Xuanyu said, "Go get it."

The maid described in detail where and under which tree she had hidden the letter.

As soon as Zhang Xuanyu's servant went out, the servant beside Zhang Xuanliang followed closely.

Zhang Xuanyu's eyes flickered as he watched this scene.

Soon, the servant took back the letter covered with dirt and presented it directly to Zhang Xuanyu.

What was written in the letter that made my uncle, who usually keeps a straight face, look so ugly?

"Bang!" Zhang Xuanyu slammed all the letters on the table: "Ridiculous!"

Li Ruomei hurried forward, took the letter, and scanned the contents of the letter at a glance. After reading all the letters, her face became as ugly as Zhang Xuan's.

Li Ruomei fell back into her seat and murmured, "How could this be?"

Zhao Shu picked up the letters scattered on the ground one by one, read the contents of the letters, and understood why the two of them looked so unhappy.

There was ambiguity in every word of the letter, and even blatant flirting. This letter was too bold. Zhao Shu handed the letter to her third uncle. Since it was proven that she was not the murderer, there was no need to stay here any longer.

Zhao Shu bowed to Zhang Xuanyu, said nothing, and turned to walk out.

Everyone's mind was on the letter, and no one would notice her leaving now.

Looking at the clear blue sky, Zhao Shu took a deep breath.

"Cousin Shuer."

Zhao Shu turned around and looked at Zhang Yijing who also came out from the main hall.

Zhang Yijing stopped half a meter away from Zhao Shu, and bowed to Zhao Shu: "Cousin Shu'er, I'm sorry for what happened just now." The guilt on her face was obvious.

Zhao Shu looked at her with a smile and said, "I understand." But seeing Zhang Yijing's worried look, Zhao Shu continued, "Cousin Yijing, don't take this to heart."

Zhang Yijing looked apologetic, looked at Zhao Shu and said sincerely, "Cousin Shu'er, can you come to my courtyard for dinner today?"

Zhao Shu smiled and said, "Cousin Yi Jin, maybe next time."

Hearing Zhao Shu's refusal, Zhang Yijing looked sad: "Just consider it as a chance for me to make amends?"

"There's really no need to do this." Zhao Shu refused again.

"Actually, I have some selfish motives. I feel really bad right now, so I invited my sister to dinner. Firstly, I want to apologize, and secondly, I want to talk to you about my true feelings."

Now that things have come to this, if she continues to refuse, she would be ungrateful.

Zhao Shu nodded in agreement.

Zhang Yijing was delighted: "Then let's meet at the hour of Xu, which is just the right time for us to have dinner together."

Only after Zhang Yijing walked away did Zhao Shu set off.

"Cousin Shuer."

Zhao Shu had black lines on her forehead. She was very afraid to hear these four words!
She put on a smile, turned around, and bowed slightly: "Thank you, my Lord."

Xie Jin paused and looked at Zhao Shu with a raised eyebrow. If there is something to do, it's Cousin Jin, and if there is nothing to do, it's Prince Xie. She is quite flexible!
Zhao Shu saw him standing not far away, staring at her intently. What was wrong? Was there something on her face?

Zhao Shu really wanted to raise her hand to touch her cheek, but when she looked at the person not far away, she restrained herself.

"Prince?"

Xie Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, and after using it, he was too lazy to even use his last name!
Zhao Shu was puzzled. Although she didn't know what was going on, her intuition told her that she should walk towards him now.

Zhao Shu walked towards Xie Jin and stopped half a meter away from him.

"Prince, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Shu asked cautiously.

Seeing Zhao Shu approaching him, Xie Jin's expression eased a lot. He looked at Zhao Shu and said coldly, "Are you going to Zhang Yijing's yard tonight?"

Zhao Shu simply ignored his current tone, he was eavesdropping on their conversation!
Looking at Zhao Shu's indescribable expression, Xie Jin felt a little uncomfortable. He slightly turned his body to avoid Zhao Shu's gaze. Little did he know that this action exposed his slightly red ears completely to the sunlight.

Looking at the pale pink ears and the serious handsome face, Zhao Shu curled her lips slightly. Is he embarrassed?
"Hmm?" Xie Jin felt Zhao Shu's gaze and turned his face away further.

Zhao Shu lowered her eyes: "Yeah."

Xie Jin coughed and said, "Zhang Yijing is in a bad mood right now, don't bother her."

"It's because cousin Yijing is in a bad mood that I want to go and accompany her."

"Why are you so stubborn!" Xie Jin said angrily.

Zhao Shu was silent for a moment before she spoke: "I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, I know what I am doing."

Xie Jin really wanted to pry open her head to see if there were any fish inside!
If she really knew the importance of the matter, she wouldn't have come up to him at this time!

Xie Jin thought for a moment, looked at the person standing in front of him, and said, "Do you know?"

"I know my limits!" Zhao Shu emphasized.

She didn't want to hear him say this answer...

Looking at her unquestionable expression, Xie Jin clenched his fists, then swallowed all the words that were about to come out, looked at her steadily, and said, "Okay."

The two of them were silent for a while, and finally Zhao Shu couldn't stand the awkward atmosphere anymore, so she lowered her head and said, "Sir, then, I'll leave first."

Xie Jin clenched his hands tightly behind his back: "Yeah."

After getting the response, Zhao Shu walked away without even raising her head.

Staring madly at the direction where Zhao Shu left, Xie Jin's smile could no longer hold up. He was like a noble beast whose claws and fangs had been plucked out. Although he had no weapons to fight, he still defended his territory with red eyes. He looked both ferocious and fragile.
