First Lady sighed deeply, ”I was the one who created this mess too deeply.”

”Madame.” Zhou mama held her hand tightly and comforted her, ”Now is not the time to talk about this. Eldest Miss and Auntie Xiao have already shed all pretense of cordiality, even though Eldest Miss has been wronged and won by a small margin. Today, Servant heard the discussions of the lords. If the relatives of the Auntie Xiao brothers were to defeat the people from Liao City, it meant that they would be a meritorious general of the imperial court, and the Emperor would also take a liking to them. The Old Master and the Old Madame would be worried about the relationship, so the Auntie Xiao was not easy to deal with.

Eldest Miss alone is definitely not enough, you have to pull yourself together, consider this young master as your own, and rot this secret in your stomach, and never bring it up again. Otherwise, Eldest Miss and Young Master's future will be ruined, and there will no longer be a place for you in this house. ”

Zhou mama's words seemed to be filled with wisdom, causing his to break out in a cold sweat. She said anxiously, ”You're right, I can't let myself get lost, or else I'll harm the two children.”

Previous Chapter Next Chapter ”Boom!” Just then, a bolt of lightning flashed outside the window, followed by a sudden clap of thunder, followed by a downpour of rain. First Lady looked out the window and said —

”It's raining. This is the first rain in over a month.”

”That's right, the rain is really heavy. It's as if the sky is going to collapse.” Zhou mama went over to the window and pulled it shut. Suddenly, he saw a black shadow flash past and she lowered his voice and asked anxiously, ”Who is it?”

First Lady's heart suddenly skipped a beat, she hurriedly got down from the bed and grabbed onto Zhou mama's hands, and asked, ”Is there anyone eavesdropping? Who? Did you see it clearly? ”

”Servant, go take a look!” Zhou mama quickly took the lantern and walked towards the door.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou mama finally returned. Her hair was also wet, and his skirt was dripping with water.

”How is it? Do you see him? ” First Lady suddenly stood up, his hand clenched into a fist, the handkerchief in his hand was almost shattered by her.

Zhou mama shook his head and said, ”Servant went around in a circle and didn't find anything.”

”It's over, it's all over.” First Lady took two steps back and muttered, ”This is it.”

”Perhaps... Maybe Servant was just seeing things, but there was nothing. Or perhaps, it's just a stray cat. ” Zhou mama held onto First Lady's hand tightly, ”Madame, let's not scare ourselves.”

However, First Lady's heart could not calm down. She did not dare imagine what would happen if this heavenly secret was exposed.

The rain continued to fall harder and harder, and along with the sounds of thunder and lightning, there were still no signs of stopping even when dawn broke. When Lian Si Yue woke up, the rain had still not stopped.

”What's the situation with Qing Quan Yuan Yuan?”

”Auntie Xiao and Third Miss knelt outside Master's study room through the rain for the whole night, but Master still did not open the door. When the sun rose, Auntie Xiao fainted and was carried back by the maids, and Third Miss was still kneeling on the ground. I heard that when Auntie Xiao was being carried back, he was still shouting 'Master', and now, the entire Qing Quan Yuan Yuan was in chaos.”
