In the carriage, Su Qinghe covered her face with a handkerchief and sobbed quietly.
She had been superior since birth and was usually praised by others. She had never been bullied like this in her life, especially in front of so many people.
I have lost both my face and dignity today, and I don’t know how people will talk about and laugh at me tomorrow!
The more I thought about it, the more wronged I felt, and my tears fell like beads from a broken string.
The maid didn't know what to do, so she could only offer forced comfort, "Don't be sad, young lady. Lord Zhao must have been drunk and his mind was not clear. That's why he spoke nonsense and said something that embarrassed you. When he sobers up tomorrow, I think he will come to apologize to you in person."
Another maid also said, "Yes! People outside say that Lord Zhao has a gentle temperament and treats people kindly. He shouldn't be such a rude person. He must have drunk too much today."
Hearing this, Su Qinghe put down her handkerchief and looked at the two maids with wet and slightly red eyes, "Are you telling the truth? But he doesn't look drunk."
"I've heard that some people can drink without showing it. They're clearly drunk, but it doesn't show on their faces. I guess Lord Zhao is one of those people." In order to convince her young lady, the maid told her everything she had heard from the public.
"Is there such a thing? Then it seems that I misunderstood Mr. Zhao."
Su Qinghe believed what the two maids said, and the tears in her eyes gradually stopped. She used a handkerchief to hold back the last two tears, and when she raised her head, she became the noble and aloof lady she usually was.
"parking……"
Su Qinghe gave an order and the carriage stopped.
"Turn around!"
The maid was puzzled, "Miss, it's so late, why don't we go back home?"
"Let's go to the west of the city. I have to apologize to Lord Zhao for misunderstanding him." Su Qinghe said, and asked two maids to fix her makeup and hair. "Put some powder under my eyes, don't let others see that I cried."
"But Miss, Mr. Zhao has drunk so much today that he must be unconscious now. If we go over and apologize now, will he listen? Or should we visit him tomorrow?"
Su Qinghe shook her head. "Let's finish today's business today. Lord Zhao is drunk, but there are always people around him who are sober. They will tell him when he wakes up."
Moreover, she wanted to take advantage of Zhao Yiming being drunk to do her thing!
Thinking of what her father said to her in the study when he called her here, she was originally extremely disgusted and unwilling, but after seeing the outstanding figure of Mr. Zhao, she knew that she was happy in her heart.
If this can really be accomplished, I will not have let myself down, and my father's official position will also be kept.
"But..." The maid was about to say something, but was stopped by another maid, who shook her head at her, "The young lady has her own plans."
Today is New Year's Eve and we have to stay up all night. On the cold streets, we can occasionally hear laughter coming from people's homes. The carriage turned around and headed towards the west of the city.
The closer Su Qinghe got to the place, the more nervous and anxious her heart became, and the faster it beat.
However, she still didn't call for a stop until the carriage stopped.
After all this time, all the New Year's Eve dinners in the west of the city had been removed, and only the soldiers were cleaning and tidying up the venue.
Su Qinghe asked the coachman to stop the carriage at the entrance of an alley. It was not until midnight, when all the cleaning soldiers had withdrawn, that she got off the carriage with the help of her maid.
Seeing the darkness everywhere, with only the whistling sound of the cold wind and the occasional barking of dogs in the distance, the maid was a little scared, "Miss, why don't we go after daybreak?
When Mr. Zhao sobers up, it would be more polite for us to visit him!"
Then, Su Qinghe seemed to be possessed by a demon. Not only did she not listen to her advice, she even let her stay where she was and only took another maid with her.
The maid was also very smart and obviously knew her mistress's intention.
He helped her walk to a secluded place, avoiding the soldiers who were still patrolling.
But when they reached the middle of the tents, they were stunned. "There are so many tents, which one is Lord Zhao's?"
Ever since the poison in Meixian was under control, Zhao Yiming had the imperial physicians and soldiers withdraw from Peng's Restaurant and Yingchun Tower, and set up camp here.
So there are more than twice as many tents here as before. The two had only been to the banquet area in front and had never been here. Now they were wandering around in this pile of tents, just like walking in a maze.
Su Qinghe forced herself to remain calm and whispered, "Lord Zhao is an official, so naturally his tent is the best here. As long as we find the best tent here, Lord Zhao will definitely be inside it."
The maid nodded in approval, "Young lady is really smart."
After the two men walked away in a crouched position, Jingyu and Jifeng came out from behind a tent.
Ji Feng raised his chin nonchalantly, pointing in the direction of the two men and said, "Boss, don't you think this Su Qinghe has taken a fancy to the master and wants to take advantage of the dark and windy night to throw herself into his arms, so as to make things a done deal and force the master to commit a crime?"
Jingyu raised her arm and leaned on his shoulder, looking in the direction of the two men and said affirmatively: "Brother, be more confident and remove the word 'can't'."
"Ah?" Ji Feng turned to look at Jing Yu, "Then why did you let them in?"
That’s right, Jingyu and the others had noticed Su Qinghe’s carriage since it stopped at the entrance of the alley, but they had done nothing and even let the two of them sneak into their camp.
"It's only now that I realize the woman's evil ambitions!" Jingyu touched his nose guiltily.
"What should we do now? We can't really let that woman get into the master's bed! If the lady finds out, she will definitely kill you." Ji Feng said anxiously.
He didn't know whether the lady would kill him, but he knew that if he really let Su Qinghe into the master's tent, Deng Xue would be the first one not to forgive him.
Before he came out, the woman warned him privately to keep an eye on his master and prevent him from doing anything to let his wife down.
Thinking of that thorny woman, Jing Yu couldn't help but shudder. She turned to Ji Feng and said sternly, "Then why are you still standing there? Come with me and get that woman away. Don't let her defile the master."
It’s true, Su Qinghe was really lucky. Although Zhao Yiming’s tent looked no different from an ordinary tent, she still managed to find it.
However, just as she was about to dive in, a voice suddenly appeared in front of her.
Su Qinghe could only retreat quickly with her maid and hide behind a tent.
Just as they hid, they saw two people walking out from behind Zhao Yiming's tent.
"Our wife is truly amazing. She conquered such a powerful virus."
"Of course not, our lady! She is a person who gets things done. She is much better than those noble ladies who only know how to play music and sing and boast about their talents all day long."
"That's right. There are a lot of women in the capital who are good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. But someone like our lady is rare in the world. It's hard to find even with a lantern."
"Ah! I've been by the master's side for so long and have seen so many women, but I still feel that only the wife is qualified to stand by the master's side."
"What do you call it? A match made in heaven, a match made in heaven."
