Chapter 60 Helper Becomes Love Rival
Xu stood in the yard and did not sleep all night.
The snow fell on her shoulders, but she seemed not to notice.
"Madam, please come in." Dengzhi knelt in the snow and begged her to come in.
Xu felt her whole body numb from the cold, but she knew she couldn't walk.
The little maid replied tremblingly: "Last night... the Marquis called for water three times." Xu's face was pale, and it was hard to tell whether it was because of the cold or the broken heart.
The whole house was eerily quiet.
When Lu Yuanze opened his eyes, he saw the pretty woman in his arms, and his rationality instantly returned.
Even Su Zhiqing was startled.
Not a dream!
Last night was not a dream.
Her face turned pale, and when she saw that her body was covered in bruises, she was so shocked that she bit her lower lip tightly and trembled all over.
Wrong.
Wrong! !
All wrong! ! !
She felt as if her throat was choked and she was completely filled with fear.
Lu Yuanze was originally a little complaining, but in the end he was comforted by her panic and quickly took her into his arms: "I will explain to my wife, don't be afraid. My wife is kind and compassionate. This matter is my fault."
"Don't be afraid. I was the one who lost control of myself last night." Lu Yuanze pursed his lips. The beauty of last night made him forget his worries.
Su Zhiqing was really about to cry out loud this time.
It's over, it's over, it's all over.
Aunt Pei gave her the preferences of everyone in the Lu family so that she could please the Lu family.
But it was definitely not to send her in to steal his man.
But when she saw Lord Lu exuding the aura of a mature man, she was dazed again.
Lord Lu is not Lu Zhengyue, nor is he comparable to that immature boy like Lu Jinghuai.
Outside, the little maid knocked on the door.
"My lord, my lady has been standing in the yard all night. Please go and take a look. My lady has been freezing in the snow all night..." the little maid said in a crying voice.
Lord Lu stood up suddenly, put on his clothes in a panic, and said only: "Qingqing, I will give you an explanation."
Su Zhiqing felt as if she were being pricked by a needle when she felt the maid's contemptuous gaze.
What made her even more anxious was that the person she truly loved was Lu Jinghuai.
She was shaking all over.
She is Lu Jinghuai's woman, she can't marry Lu Yuanze! !
She is harboring a big secret. Once it is revealed, she will be condemned and even killed without a burial place.
Su Zhiqing shuddered.
At this moment, Lu Yuanze didn't even put on shoes or socks, and rushed back to the main courtyard in a hurry.
Sure enough, there was a woman covered in snow standing in the yard.
The woman was staggering, looking at him indifferently.
Lu Yuanze panicked: "Yun Niang...I entered the wrong room last night."
"I mistook her for you."
Xu Shiyun seemed to be frozen, her voice was hoarse, and her eyes were covered with mist: "My Lord... My Lord has been with me for nearly twenty years. Yunniang should not be so selfish. My Lord, let Yunniang calm down for a while."
Dengzhi supported her, and with every slight movement, a lot of white snow fell from her body.
As soon as I turned around...
Xu's body went limp, and Dengzhi was so panicked that he shouted with red eyes, "Madam!"
Lu Yuanze wanted to enter the courtyard, but he saw Dengzhi shouting angrily: "My Lord, please stop provoking my wife!"
"Madam has been waiting all night since you entered Miss Su's room." After saying this, he carried Madam into the inner room.
After entering the door, Xu opened her eyes slowly.
Several maids immediately came forward silently, changed her clothes, and warmed her hands and feet with hot water.
After drinking the ginger soup, I instantly came back to life.
Lu Chaochao's eyes turned red with heartache. She hugged her mother's hand, which was frozen like a lump of ice, and covered her face with it.
"Hiss..." The little guy shivered while holding his hands.
Xu quickly pulled her hand away: "Silly girl, don't freeze your face. Mother is not cold, she is just pretending for him to see." If she didn't pretend, how could he feel at ease to let Su Zhiqing into the house.
Dengzhi glanced at the door and said, "Madam, the Marquis has left."
He stood outside the courtyard gate for half an hour, and only left in a hurry when he heard the little maid come to report that Su Zhiqing was going to hang herself.
"Madam, you are so accurate. Miss Su has indeed set her sights on the Marquis."
Lu Chaochao's eyes were sparkling with stars [Wow, my mother is so smart. 】
Xu couldn't help laughing out loud.
It's not that she is smart, it's that she is just cheating every time.
"No matter how talented and gifted Lu Jinghuai is, and no matter how bright his future is, he has not yet grown up."
"Compared to Lu Yuanze, a mature man, he is still a step behind."
Besides, she had a romantic moment with Lu Yuanze, and she stood alone in the snow all night.
The news had already spread throughout the mansion, cutting off her chance of entering the mansion again.
Now, she can only cling tightly to Lu Yuanze as a lifeline.
Lu Chaochao was relieved when he saw that his mother looked sick but her eyes were bright.
In the afternoon, Su Zhiqing came to Tingfengyuan wearing a pink dress to apologize.
Yesterday, she was still dressed like an unmarried woman.
Today, her charm is still there, and her face is full of irresistible spring breeze.
"Madam, how dare she come here?" Dengzhi glared angrily.
Xu chuckled and said, "Of course she has the nerve to come. She has the support of the Marquis."
Su Zhiqing bit her lower lip lightly. Her body was not very agile, but she still walked into Tingfeng Garden step by step.
As soon as he entered the door, he knelt in front of the hall.
The red marks on the neck are extremely conspicuous.
"Madam, this is all Qingqing's fault. It has nothing to do with the Marquis..."
"Early this morning, Qingqing realized that she had made a serious mistake and originally planned to hang herself to make amends." Su Zhiqing was like a little white flower that had been devastated and was about to fall.
"It was the Marquis who stopped Qingqing."
Xu wiped away tears with red eyes, but couldn't help but smile.
Su Zhiqing's every move and every dress are in line with the Marquis's preferences.
Pei Jiaojiao, you took great pains to send Su Zhiqing to the Marquis' Mansion.
You taught her the preferences of everyone in the mansion, but you never expected that in the end she would compete with you for a man, right?
Xu stood up and helped Su Zhiqing up with red eyes.
"Miss Su, you are from a good family, and I don't want to torture you."
"It's just...the matter between you and Brother Zhengyue..." Xu looked a little embarrassed.
Su Zhiqing's face was slightly stiff: "I only treat Zheng Yue as a friend. We are gentlemen and have never crossed the line." The one who really crossed the line...
It’s Lu Jinghuai.
Su Zhiqing shuddered slightly.
"That's good." Xu breathed a sigh of relief.
"I have been married to the Marquis for many years. He is a devoted man and has never had a concubine. Speaking of which, Miss Su is the first one."
"I am now raising three sons and one daughter, and I don't have the energy to serve you anymore."
"You and the Marquis are destined to be together. Miss Su, don't be afraid."
"The Marquis's mansion is simple and clean. Once you enter, you will take good care of the Marquis. If Miss Su can give birth to another son or daughter, the Marquis will definitely be happy." Xu patted her hand gently, and Su Zhiqing nodded shyly.
"You saved Zhengyue's life. Being his aunt is too much of an injustice to you."
Su Zhiqing raised her head abruptly and pinched her palm deeply.
Xu acted as if he hadn't heard it.
