Chapter 82: The move to Ningzhuo 2 (2/2)

Zhu Feifei sighed, ”now I can relax, mother do you know how scared I was when I got the news. I thought that tge Emperor was trying to punish us like he did Lu Yaozhu but turns out he isn't.”

”Yes, this is also a good way to test His Highness leadership qualities. If he makes a good contribution to the kingdom, everyone will see him in a good light. It might even help him get appointed as Crown Prince since the crown prince doesn't have many achievements on his plates. The Lu family are now at loss, now that Lu Yaozhu is transferred to Ningzhuo.”

Zhu feifei nodded ”Their lose has become our gain, good”

Now that she wasn't worried about the sudden move, Zhu Feifei remembered the events of yesterday and the part she had in Lu Yaozhu's marriage and how she had let Su Liya know. She had felt uneased after discovering that it was a misunderstanding. She had asked around, specifically the sixth prince's servant and it was just as he had informed her.

He never met with Su Liya that night but had spent the night at a brothel with her elder brother. She had been misled by Zhu Fenfang, who for whatever reason wanted to hurt Su Liya. He spied couldn't find out the reason but she had discovered quite a few things about that two-faced sister of hers.

Zhu Feifei was initially scared that Su Liya might report everything to the Empress or the Lu family and get her in trouble. However not that Lu Yaozhu was moving to Ningzhuo, Su Liya can't make any moves. Su Liya would be too busy preparing for the move to do that.

She had done it out of anger but now that she was discovered, she couldn't help but worry about how Su Liya would respond. It was a good thing that Lu Yaozhu was moving to Ningzhuo. He would be too busy with the sudden move and wouldn't have time to make a move on her.

Zhu Feifei gazed at her mother and bit her lips. She was contemplating informing her mother about her discovery. When there was a knock at tge door followed by a maid coming in holding a tray of dried preserved fruits, some cakes and cold beverages.

Madam Zhu looked at her lady's maid, ”Xiao Lan, you outdid yourself this time. You have been standing here for some time, when did you send a message to the kitchen?”

Xiao Lan or Nanny Ding as she was known to everyone else was madam Zhu's dowry maid and Zhu Faye's nanny. She was the Chief matron in charge of madam Zhu's courtyard, all the servants took orders from her.

Nanny Ding came forward to reply ” I didn't call for their madam, her highness's arrival was too sudden. There was no time to prepare for it”.

Madam Zhu looked from Nanny Ding to the maid carrying the tray of snacks, ”this wasn't your doing? Then who_?”

Nanny Ding looked to the maid and ordered ”who sent this?”

The maid raised the tray higher, ”answering madam, this was sent over by third Miss. She heard that her highness visited and ordered tge kitchen to send over these refreshments”.

Zhu Feifei's expression got sour as she heard the maid's words. After what she now knew of Zhu Fenfang, she knew not to take anything she did lightly. She opened her mouth to reject this but her mother beat her to it.

”Aiya there is no need to do this. Third girl is thoughtful, she still cares about her second sister and even sent over all her favourite snacks. Xiao Lan, please send over my thanks” Madam Zhu Said then to the maid she gestured to the table next to Zhu Feifei's seat and said, ”Drop the tray on the table and sent the cook my thanks”.

The maid placed tge tray on the small table and left, Nanny Ding followed after her. Zhu Feifei waited until she could no longer hear footsteps before saying ”sneaky bitch, mother don't be fooled by that snake. Fenfang isn't any good, be careful of her”.

Madam Zhu laughed ” Fenfang? What is there to be worried about with that weakling?”

”A lot, her methods are quite bad mother. She is no good” Zhu Feifei replied.

Madam Zhu continued to laugh but when she noticed her daughter's serious expression, she stopped ”wait, you are serious?”

”Yes, Zhu Fenfang that ... girl lied about seeing his highness and that slut Su Liya”

”What! Are you serious?” Madam Zhu asked. When she saw her daughter nod, she held her neck and fell back. ”tell me”.
