Chapter 73 Sowing Dissension
Zhao Mansion
Today, the courtyard of the fourth young master Zhao Bin was unusually quiet.
Zhao Bin knew about the Xie and Zhao families' plan to flatter and kill Lu Desheng, and the plan had already been laid out and advanced. The first wave of offensive would be launched early this morning. After success, the second wave of offensive would be launched. After achieving the goal again, the third wave of offensive would be launched to completely eliminate Lu Desheng.
He was delighted at the thought that the Lu family would soon be wiped out. Once Lu Desheng fell, Lu Songli would be left without protection. He wanted to make her suffer a fate worse than death! Thinking of this, he revealed an excited yet ferocious smile.
Today's first attack was simple. Zhao Bin knew the plan and thought it would be impossible for it to fail. Therefore, Zhao Bin was in a good mood today. After having the maid carefully apply the medicine to him, he felt that his leg pain was completely gone. With this feeling, he fell into a deep sleep and even had a sweet dream. This was also the most peaceful sleep he had had since his leg was crippled.
The steward told the two maids to carefully put away the medicine in their hands before going to do other things.
Zhao Bin didn't know how long he had slept. He just felt that his consciousness was a little hazy. He vaguely heard someone talking, and the voices sounded like the two maids serving him.
"Sister Taozi, let's take a break. This opportunity is so rare."
"Okay, Sister Yan Zi, I'll be right there."
"Is your face okay?" Taozi asked with concern. In the morning, the two of them helped the fourth young master to get up. The handkerchief that Yan Zi was twisting was a little hot, so the fourth young master slapped her in the face.
Yan Zi shook her head. "The Fourth Young Master is too difficult to serve now. He was fine before, but now he is really too irritable and too gloomy."
Taozi sighed, "That's not true. Ever since the fourth young master's leg was broken, his whole body has been broken." Last time, when she was bandaging the fourth young master, he felt pain and directly threw the tea bowl in his hand at her. Fortunately, she subconsciously dodged it and only made a cut, otherwise his head would have been smashed.
Zhao Bin had regained consciousness by this point. Hearing the two maids gossiping about him, he gnashed his teeth in hatred. He would definitely punish them, but for now, he wanted to hear what else they had to say before deciding their sentence.
The two were silent for a moment, and Taozi continued, "Actually, if you ask me, if the Fourth Young Master hadn't been venting his anger on behalf of the Eldest Miss, this disaster wouldn't have happened."
"No, Miss, is there something wrong with you? Isn't everything as you wished?" Yan Zi didn't understand.
Previously, it was rumored that the eldest daughter had set her eyes on Miss Lu's fiancé first. Now that the Empress Dowager has granted their marriage, isn't that what they wanted? And to be honest, after all, she was stealing someone else's fiancé, so isn't it normal to suffer a little injustice in the process?
"Yes, we think the eldest lady has not suffered any injustice. But the fourth young master doesn't think so." Taozi said.
Yan Zi: "Indeed, the Fourth Young Master cannot bear to see the eldest young lady suffer any injustice. Whenever the eldest young lady gets angry or cries, no matter who is right or wrong, it is the fault of the person who made her angry or cry."
"Hey, the Fourth Young Master is a good person with good intentions, but he was tricked this time."
"Sister Taozi, why do you say that?"
"Think about it, ever since the eldest lady and Miss Lu fell into the water, the eldest lady hasn't taken advantage of Miss Lu. Didn't the eldest lady deliberately let the fourth young master teach Miss Lu a lesson on her behalf? The eldest lady has done this many times before, but this time the fourth young master stepped on the iron wall. Even the eldest lady herself didn't expect this result, right?"
This made Zhao Bin fall into deep thought. Back when he was in Chang'an City, he had often punished those who had offended his elder sister. He was young, so he didn't hold back when he hit her. It was hard for others to argue with him. Plus, if his elder sister found out, she would clean up the mess.
"No, Sister Taozi, the eldest lady herself has suffered losses against Miss Lu Er, how dare she let the fourth young master cause trouble for Miss Lu Er? Isn't she afraid that the fourth young master will suffer? I don't think that's necessarily what the eldest lady meant. After all, the fourth young master is her brother, she definitely doesn't want him to get into trouble."
"Like I said, the young lady herself didn't expect this outcome. But I still think she must bear the primary blame for this matter," Taozi said sarcastically. "To be frank, the young lady certainly wouldn't be able to say it, but she has a caring maid. Think about it, when has the young lady been in a bad mood, suffered a loss, or been wronged, wasn't Hongdou there to stand up for her? It goes without saying that this time, it must have been Hongdou who instigated it. Wasn't it the same thing before? The young lady doesn't need to say anything. Once the Fourth Young Master finds out, he'll naturally stand up for her."
Bang! Zhao Bin couldn't stand it any longer and threw the pillow on the bed to the ground. Then he shouted, "Come here, come here, drag those two bitches outside the door and beat them to death!"
As he shouted, the servants and old women in the yard rushed in. Someone pushed Taozi and Yanzi directly in front of him and held them down.
Zhao Bin gasped for breath, glaring at the two maids kneeling in front of him, his eyes blazing with fire. "These two bitches, don't even think about trying to sow discord between him and his sister!" His face darkened and twisted as his left leg twisted in pain.
"Fourth Young Master, please spare my life!"
"Fourth Young Master, please forgive me this time!"
Taozi and Yanzi cried and begged for mercy.
Luo came hurriedly and asked someone to take them away first. She wanted to comfort her son, but Zhao Bin would not let her into the house. He drove everyone out!
Mrs. Luo had no choice but to deal with the two maids first, but before that, she sent someone to invite her eldest daughter over.
"Madam, do you really want to beat them to death?" The steward pointed at the two maids who were gagged and crying.
Luo also hated the maids who gossiped about her son. What right did these two maids have to talk about her son? She had picked them out before, thinking that if they served well, it wouldn't be impossible to raise them as concubines for her son. But she didn't expect these two bitches to be so gossipy!
But Mrs. Luo was also worried. Beating and killing two maids was a small matter, but her son now had a broken leg. If he still wanted to get married, she couldn't let him do that. Otherwise, if this reputation got out, who would dare to marry him?
But not beating them to death doesn't mean they'll be let off! "Take them away, give them thirty lashes of the cane, and then sell them off!"
In the room, Zhao Bin was still furious.
Although he kept comforting himself and told himself not to believe what the two maids said, when the servant reported that his sister came to see him, he made an excuse that he was tired and did not see her.
This made Zhao Yutan return disappointed.
When Mrs. Luo heard that her son hadn't even seen his eldest daughter, she realized that something serious had happened. Could he have believed what those two servants said? She went back to see her son, and he didn't refuse to see her.
"Mom, have you dealt with the person?"
"Don't worry, I've already dealt with the person."
Zhao Bin thought that his mother had beaten the two maids to death as he had instructed, and a rare smile appeared on his face.
Now Zhao Bin's temper is unpredictable, and he is also manic and irritable. Luo Shi dare not tell him the truth and can only speak vaguely.
Hearing this, Zhao Bin believed it and felt relieved. He didn't know that after the two maids were handed over to the human traffickers, they were quickly bought.
