Chapter 459: Scaring Two People Away
Mrs. Zhou Er was furious. "Do you think that if you send everyone away, no one will know what Zhao Liya did? Humph, even if the news gets out, she still can't clear herself from suspicion! Who told so many people to see her walk out of the Pear Blossom Pavilion?"
"What is Second Aunt saying? Say it again!" Zhou Hansheng's eyes were suddenly filled with murderous intent.
Mrs. Zhou Er's heart tightened with fear, and she secretly regretted having said something she shouldn't have.
But going back on her words now only made it more obvious. She simply threw in the towel.
"I, you know what I mean!"
Zhao Liya said coldly, "Second Aunt, Third Aunt, and presumably the old lady and the others, you really dare to go out and plot against me in a place like this! You're not even willing to sacrifice someone's life! Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
Mrs. Tuesday and Mrs. Wednesday were both speechless.
It is impossible to say that you are not afraid. After all, as Zhao Liya said, it is nothing but a human life.
Although they kept hypnotizing themselves that it was Zhao Liya who killed their people, the fact was the fact after all, and when Zhao Liya questioned them, they could not refute it.
Zhou Hansheng said coldly, "Second and Third Aunts, please remember this: there's nothing in Pear Blossom Pavilion! If I hear any rumors about this matter outside, I'll blame them on the Second and Third Houses. You've really pissed me off this time. Second and Third Aunts, please stop now, or you'll be crushed to pieces if you take the wrong step!"
Mrs. Tuesday and Mrs. Wednesday were so angry that their faces turned pale. "You, you..."
Zhou Hansheng's eyes were icy as he spoke word for word, "I mean what I say. Second Aunt, Third Aunt, don't think I'm joking with you. I don't think you'd want to try my methods for yourself."
Zhao Liya smiled gently. "Don't be afraid, Second Aunt and Third Aunt. The Young Master is just like that. He loves to say harsh words and has a bad temper! You'll get used to it slowly! The Young Master also has another advantage, which is that he keeps his word. Second Aunt and Third Aunt should remember this. As long as you remember his words and don't break any taboos, you'll be fine!"
Mrs. Zhou Er was so angry that she almost swore again, but was stopped by Mrs. Zhou Er.
The two exchanged a subtle glance, both knowing that this matter really had to end here, with no hope left. They had finally seized this opportunity and taken such a risk, but now, looking back, it was all for nothing.
It's natural to feel unwilling.
Mrs. Zhou San forced a smile and tried to test the waters again: "I wonder what the prince's plans are next?"
Zhou Hansheng stared at her with a sharp gaze: "What does Third Aunt want to know?"
Mrs. Zhou San choked: "I——"
"Aunt San just needs to remember that nothing happened today. You came to Beiyuan just to watch the dragon boat race. That's all! Do you need me to repeat it again?"
Mrs. Zhou San tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand, gritting her teeth in hatred.
Zhao Liya glanced at Zhou Hansheng, then smiled and said to Madam Zhou Er and Madam Zhou San, "Aunts, I think the dragon boat race is about to start. Let's go over there quickly!"
Mrs. Zhou Er rolled her eyes at her, her disdain evident.
Zhao Liya smiled: "Second Aunt, Third Aunt, please come in!"
Of course, she had to leave here with them and appear in front of everyone together. That way, even if they wanted to spread rumors behind her back, it wouldn't be that easy.
You know, Zhao Liya has always been with them!
Mrs. Zhou Er and Mrs. Zhou San knew in their hearts that Zhao Liya would definitely not leave them at this moment, even if she didn't go to watch the dragon boat race.
In comparison, the two were even more unwilling to be within Zhou Hansheng's sight, so they had to leave with a feeling of frustration.
Zhao Liya smiled, called Chunfen, and asked her and her two maids to follow.
Zhao Liya appeared with the two ladies of the Zhou family at the scene of watching the dragon boat race, attracting the attention of many ladies from other families. They secretly praised her in their hearts: She is worthy of being the daughter taught by Lord Zhao, she is so dignified and generous, and open-minded. The two ladies in the Duke of Liguo's Mansion had hurt her so much, but she could still stay by their side without holding a grudge, fulfilling her obligations as a junior and accompanying the two ladies diligently. She is truly admirable!
At such a young age, he is so sensible!
The ladies secretly admired her and couldn't help but think that they must get along more with Madam Zhao and ask her for advice.
Then she saw Zhao Liya with a smile on her face and her eyebrows downcast. She was obviously trying very hard to be gentle and take the initiative to joke and please her two aunts. However, her two aunts looked unhappy and ignored her. Especially Mrs. Zhou Er, who showed annoyance from time to time and rolled her eyes at the wife of the prince.
This is really too much!
The Crown Prince's wife has such a broad mind that no one else can match!
If Zhao Liya knew about this wonderful misunderstanding, she would probably laugh until her stomach hurt.
She had put on enough pretense in front of Madam Tuesday and Madam Wednesday, and when she thought it was about time, she smiled and said goodbye, going to accompany her own mother.
Mrs. Zhou Er sighed and cursed angrily, "That little bitch is so shameless! She's finally gone!"
As it happened, when she said this, two or three ladies were chatting and laughing next to them, and they couldn't help but look over when they heard what she said.
Mrs. Zhou Er's face flushed red, and she had to pretend to be calm and pretend that she had not said anything.
It was not until after the Dragon Boat Festival that they gradually heard a lot of rumors about what happened that day. When they heard those stories about themselves and Zhao Liya, they almost vomited blood in anger!
When Zhao Liya saw her aunt and her mother together, and saw them talking and laughing, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
If she hadn't been lucky enough to push Chunfen away in time, and if the poor girl hadn't been frightened to the point of being unable to walk, and if she hadn't been lucky enough to have run into Zhou Hansheng on the way and quickly brought him over, then she would have been in real trouble.
Since her two good aunts knew that there was a good show to watch in the Pear Blossom Pavilion, she could not delay them for too long. If she insisted on stopping them from going to the Pear Blossom Pavilion, it would only make the ladies more confused.
Who wouldn't be a shrewd person to be qualified enough to come to Beiyuan to attend the Dragon Boat Festival feast personally attended by the Emperor and Empress? How could anyone not be suspicious upon seeing this?
Then not only will I be unlucky, but what about my aunt?
I went there because my aunt told me to. What would I think of my aunt? What would my parents think of me?
