Mrs. Hou is a pampered lady, and although Haitang is a maid, she is also industrious, just like an ordinary young lady. The master and servant were stunned by the scene in front of them, and they didn't know how to react for a moment.
Seeing it, Baozi was about to rush in front of Mrs. Hou.
Chujiu moved his feet, ran straight behind Baozi, raised his hand and slashed at the back of Baozi's neck.
The stupid boy's bulky body fell down, and Mrs. Hou took a breath.
Haitang blinked and was speechless for a while.
Across Baozi's body, Chujiu stood opposite. Madam Hou was surprised to find that Chujiu's face was calm and showed no panic at all.
Sure enough, Chujiu was different from other maids.
Mother Liu cried and came to shake the baby, and Haitang helped Mrs. Hou back away.
Haitang explained kindly: "Madam, I used to work all day on the ninth day of the lunar month. I must have chopped firewood a lot, and then I developed my skills."
Mrs. Hou nodded and couldn't help but feel that Chujiu was very pitiful. With Chujiu's small body, how much firewood would it take to practice this.
The mother-in-law came over at this time and tied Baozi's hands, which were unable to resist.
Mother Liu was still crying: "He's fainted, so there's no need to tie him up. My son, wake up quickly, you scared me to death."
Mrs. Hou turned her eyes away in disgust, but suddenly shouted in surprise: "Zi Yan!"
The eldest son Zhou Yijing, also known as Ziyan.
Zhou Yijing looked solemn and was standing a dozen steps away.
No one here paid attention to when he came. Judging from the situation, he should have seen the scene when Chujiu stunned Baozi. Otherwise, he should have walked to Mrs. Hou long ago.
As soon as Zhou Yijing appeared, Liu's mother didn't dare to cry. Others bowed silently and Lai's mother's eyes wandered around, scratching her head as she thought of a way to escape.
Mrs. Hou was full of complaints and wanted to complain to her son, but she swallowed her words because it bothered the people around her.
Zhou Yijing couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Her father was dishonorable and her mother was too soft-tempered. Otherwise, Yu Wanniang would not be able to take power in the Hou Mansion as an outsider.
He looked at Lai's mother condescendingly and said: "Mom, Lai's mother has worked hard all these years, and it's time for her to go out and live some leisurely life. Why not send Lai's mother to Zhuangzi tomorrow?"
Lai's mother was shocked and begged Mrs. Hou: "Madam, my son is still in the house, I can't be separated from him."
Zhou Yijing said: "This is easy to handle. I heard that Lai Wu was ill and moved to Zhuangzi to recuperate."
Lai's mother immediately suppressed her plea.
The meaning of the prince's words was very clear. He was very clear about Lai Wu's condition. By saying that he was ill, he had already saved the last face of his mother and father.
In fact, Zhou Yijing only wanted to take care of her mother. If her mother hadn't been so soft-hearted, people like Lai's mother and her son would have left the Hou Mansion long ago.
Seeing Mrs. Hou nodding, Lai's mother knew that the outcome was decided. She was just sent to a village, but there were many details here. It was very different whether she went to a wealthy village near the capital or a remote farm.
Lai's mother kowtowed to Mrs. Hou: "Madam, I have served you for many years, and I really don't want to be too far away from you. During the holidays, I still want to kowtow to you to say hello. You are doing well, so I can rest assured. "
Mrs. Hou looked at Zhou Yijing hesitantly, and Zhou Yijing said, "Mama Lai is doing well, and my mother feels at ease. You don't have to come to the Hou Mansion again in the future, just take care of yourself."
Lai's mother's heart sank and she sat down slumped.
Mrs. Hou turned her head away and couldn't bear to look any further.
Zhou Yijing added: "Mama Liu's family can't keep it any longer. Mother, please ask Ren Yazi to sell it out."
Normally, these are internal affairs. If the mistress is decisive, she can solve them in two or three sentences. However, it is the prince who speaks, which shows that Mrs. Hou has always been indecisive in situations.
Chujiu saw this and had a new understanding of the situation in Quyanghou Mansion.
No wonder, Yu Wanniang is able to run rampant in the Hou Mansion. This is certainly due to the support given by Marquis Quyang to Yu Wanniang. On the other hand, it is also because of Mrs. Hou's weakness.
Only then did Chujiu understand why Mrs. Hou wanted to go to Songyunju by herself.
As the eldest son of the Hou family, it would be awkward for Zhou Yijing not to have a maid to serve him. But because of Yu Wanniang, the original maids were dealt with one by one, and then sent to those who were timid, they might not be able to stay for a few days, so Mrs. Hou fell in love with her. Dare to hurt yourself.
Chujiu is not afraid of anything, but she has to understand the situation and live in peace while she is here.
With her son making up her mind, Mrs. Hou was so determined that she no longer cared about the crying mother Liu, and pulled Zhou Yijing to leave this unlucky place.
Mrs. Hou did not forget to call Chujiu back: "You still haven't followed."
Zhou Yijing also turned to look at Chujiu at this moment. Chujiu happened to meet his eyes. The moment their eyes met, both of them looked stern.
Chujiu's back tensed up and her body subconsciously ducked to the side.
Chujiu noticed someone was attacking from behind, while Zhou Yijing clearly saw Lai's mother holding a hairpin to stab Chujiu.
At the same time as Chujiu dodged, Zhou Yijing stretched out her long arm to catch Chujiu, and then kicked Lai's mother down.
Everyone was stunned by this incident. They first saw Zhou Yijing hugging Chujiu, and then they saw Lai's mother on the ground.
Perhaps Zhou Yijing's strength was too great. Chujiu's nose hit his arms hard, making him dizzy for a while. For some reason, Zhou Yijing did not let go of Chujiu immediately. In this way, in the eyes of others, he was Zhou Yijing. There is some ambiguity between Chujiu and Chujiu.
Chu Jiu composed himself, pushed Zhou Yijing away and stood up: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
She could have avoided Lai's mother, but Zhou Yijing's move looked very eye-catching.
Zhou Yijing didn't show it on her face, but she was very surprised in her heart.
Just now, he saw with his own eyes that Chujiu knocked out Baozi with one palm. Just now, when Lai's mother made a sneak attack, Chujiu also reacted immediately. This was definitely not something that a simple little maid could do.
It seemed that he had to ask someone to investigate Chujiu.
Mrs. Hou's eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth curved up and then down.
Haitang exclaimed: "Madam, Mother Lai wants to kill Chujiu!"
Lai's mother failed to hit her, but was kicked hard by Zhou Yijing. She clutched her stomach and hated her to death. She cursed unwillingly: "Little bitch, you are destined to be lucky!"
Mrs. Hou said: "Mother Lai, I have always been thinking about love, why do you want to kill someone in front of me? What did Chujiu do wrong? You are so cruel."
At this point, Lai's mother had no luck anymore, so she simply broke the pot and stared at Chujiu angrily: "Madam, Chujiu has cut off my son's descendants. How can I not hate her? I just want to kill her with my own hands and eat her." Only by drinking her flesh and blood can I satisfy my hatred!"
Liu's mother suddenly burst into mournful wails: "Mrs. Mingjian, Lai's mother hates the ninth day of the lunar month. Baozi and I are innocent. I was deceived by Lai's mother. I did something wrong when I was confused. I never meant to harm anyone. Madam, please forgive me this time. I will definitely repent and stop listening to others' words. Madam, please spare our family."
There is no good place for a servant who made a mistake and was sold out of the house. Compared with the days in the Hou Mansion, it is a world of difference. Mother Liu was desperate. Seeing Mother Lai behave like this, she said Tell the truth.
"Send Mama Lai away immediately. Don't delay for a moment. Call Yazi here immediately. They..." Mrs. Hou's voice was trembling, and she pointed at Mama Lai, Mama Liu, and their son: "Get them out of the Hou Mansion. ! I don’t want to see them again!”
