At the same time, the young man walked down the steps, but he was not asking about Mrs. Zhao's injury. At the moment, he just taught the servant a lesson and walked straight past Mrs. Zhao. Then he was just about to bend down and board the stairs that had already been opened earlier. A soft palanquin prepared for him.
However, Mrs. Zhao suddenly had an idea at this moment. Since this person can help him, it means that he is a kind-hearted person. It shouldn't be too much to ask Mrs. Zhao for help.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhao immediately knelt down at the other person's feet. Although she didn't know who this person was, she must be a young master because he was dressed so luxuriously and had a young man following him.
Therefore, Mrs. Zhao only asked for help: "Master, I want to ask you something."
Originally, Zhu Zanxun was about to leave the old lady.
After hearing what the other party said, Zhu Zanxun finally stopped and asked in a gentle voice, "What do you want to ask? Just ask directly."
After hearing Zhu Zanxun's words, Mrs. Zhao immediately said, "I wonder if the young master knows if there is a girl named Ji Xiang in this house."
Zhu Zanxun couldn't help but stop when he heard Mrs. Zhao.
When he mentioned Jixiang, he couldn't help but think of his fiancée Shen Fanghui.
Although he was rejected by that person, even though he ran away from his marriage, when he thought of her at this moment, he still felt endless tenderness in his heart.
"What do you want with her? Who are you to her?"
As soon as she heard what the other party said, Mrs. Zhao felt that there was something interesting in what the other party said, and she immediately said, "I am Jixiang's mother! Master, I am here to see my girl."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zanxun seemed to have some impressions.
Jixiang's mother doesn't seem to be a kind person.
But even so, Zhu Zanxun still just asked gently, "Why did you come to her?"
Naturally, Mrs. Zhao couldn't directly say that she came to her daughter to ask for money to help her cousin pay off his gambling debt.
Therefore, Mrs. Zhao immediately said pitifully, "There was a fire yesterday. The foundation of my house was completely burned. I have no place to live, so I thought about asking Jixiang if he had money, otherwise our family of three would be homeless." It’s on the streets.”
After hearing what Mrs. Zhao said, I saw that Mrs. Zhao really looked down and out.
Although Zhu Zanxun had also been warned that the other party was not a good person, Zhu Zanxun still said to Mrs. Zhao, "It sounds like a pitiful person, but your daughter, we have released the contract and she has left." , so I don’t know where she went. But I have some friendship with your daughter, so I can give you some money. How much do you want to borrow?"
As soon as Zhu Zanxun took the initiative to speak, Mrs. Zhao was ecstatic, and then Mrs. Zhao immediately said, "Not much, not much, we only borrowed eighty taels."
Hearing Mrs. Zhao's words, Zhu Zanxun couldn't help but frowned. Although eighty taels was not much for a family like theirs, it was a lot for ordinary people.
There is a high probability that they will not be able to repay this money, although Zhu Zanxun did not expect them to pay it back.
However, you have to do what you promised to the other party, so Zhu Zanxun just whispered, "I can give you eighty taels, but I also hope that you will stop causing trouble for your daughter. It is not easy for her to be alone." of."
At this time, Mrs. Zhao kept saying yes in order to get the money, but in fact she had already identified the other party in her heart.
He said that he had some friendship with his daughter. What kind of friendship could a young master and his maid have? Their relationship was nothing more than a relationship between a man and a woman.
Now that he said that Jixiang was not in the house, he was keeping Jixiang outside.
Mrs. Zhao doesn't mind whether Jixiang is a concubine or a concubine. Anyway, as long as Jixiang has money for her to spend, that's enough.
Therefore, Mrs. Zhao immediately smiled and said, "Young Master is right. I haven't asked you for your name yet?"
Facing Mrs. Zhao's diligent probing, Zhu Zanxun was obviously a little impatient.
But he didn't say it clearly, "Since it's just one face, it's not shameful to say your name. After all, it's just one person."
This side may already be parted forever. "
After saying this, Zhu Zanxun also said to the boy beside him, "Take this mother-in-law to the house to get the money. I'll go first."
After saying this, Zhu Zanxun was ready to leave.
When Mrs. Zhao saw that the other party refused to give her name, it was natural that she couldn't ask further.
After watching Zhu Zanxun leave, Mrs. Zhao followed the young man into the gate of Zhu's house. At the same time, just as they were about to enter, Brother Jun, who was sitting under the willow tree, saw Mrs. Zhao actually wanting to enter. When the Zhu family's door opened, he immediately followed him and said, "Aunt, please wait for me."
Hearing Brother Jun's call, Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but stop.
At the same time, Brother Jun came to them panting.
Zhu Zanxun's servants obviously looked down upon Mrs. Zhao.
He just said dissatisfiedly, "Who is this?"
Mrs. Zhao immediately said, "Young Master, this is my brother's son, Brother Jun!"
"Why did he come with you?" Zhu Zanxun's servant asked obviously dissatisfied.
Faced with the other party's inquiry, Mrs. Zhao immediately said, "No one in my family is free. My brother was worried that I would be robbed on the road, so he asked me to bring him here."
After hearing what Mrs. Zhao said, although the young man was dissatisfied, the other party stopped asking.
Then with this young man leading the way, no one stopped them, let alone hit them.
However, they still couldn't go directly to the front door, so in the end they only passed through the side door, and this rich family always had such a rule.
Mrs. Zhao and Brother Jun followed the young man, just as Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden. They looked around and wanted to touch and ask anything they saw.
Seeing their unfamiliar faces, the young man looked down upon them, but he remembered the young master's rules, so he patiently told them what they were doing.
After walking for half an hour, they finally arrived at a place similar to a hall. The young man really didn't want to continue walking with these two people, so he just said, "Just wait for me here! But you must remember to Don't go anywhere before I come back! Otherwise, if you bump into someone on the road and get killed, don't blame me for not warning you."
After hearing what the other party said, Mrs. Zhao immediately cooperated and said, "I understand, don't worry, we won't go anywhere."
After hearing this, the man just said, "Okay, then you just wait here."
After saying this, the man left.
However, not long after the man left, Mrs. Zhao and Brother Jun became unable to sit still.
And I didn't eat anything on the way here just now, but now I'm even more hungry.
Finally, when the two of them gathered together, Mrs. Zhao only said, "On my way here, I saw that their pond was full of lotus flowers, and there were lotus pods in the pond. How about we go to the nearby pond to catch two lotus pods to cushion our stomachs?" "
Brother Jun immediately agreed with Mrs. Zhao's proposal.
The two made a mutual decision, so they soon threw the young man's instructions to Java.
The two of them left the side hall one after the other, and then they walked towards the edge of the lotus pond.
They were all farmers, and Brother Jun knew how to drink water. At this time, Brother Jun was so hungry that he didn't care about his dignity. He went directly into the pond to pick lotus pods.
Mrs. Zhao saw that the place where Brother Jun was picking lotus pods was not far away, so she was happy to wait for him on the shore, but she didn't expect that Brother Jun would go further and further away.
When Mrs. Zhao went to look for him again, she only saw a vast field of lotus leaves and lotus flowers.
After all, she was still worried that Brother Jun would drown here, so at this moment, she just followed him forward.
At the moment, she could only walk along the pond and look for Brother Jun.
He didn't dare to call her out. After all, she was afraid of being punished for yelling in a place like this.
Unexpectedly, she walked deeper and deeper, and then came to a small pavilion.
Sitting in the small pavilion were the Second Young Master Zhu Zhu Yuewu and a young man in black.
Mrs. Zhao was also happy when she saw Zhu Yuewu. After all, he was an acquaintance. She might be able to ask him if he had seen her nephew.
However, it sounded like Zhu Yuewu was talking to that person, so Mrs. Zhao did not go out immediately.
"How did things go?" Zhu Yuewu asked expressionlessly in the pavilion.
Facing Zhu Yuewu's inquiry, the subordinate only whispered, "As far as I can tell you, Master, everything has been settled."
After hearing that the matter was done, Zhu Yuewu nodded lightly.
However, the subordinate then whispered, "But Master, although the money was transferred by us, it also aroused the suspicion of the bank manager. Do you think we should kill people and silence them?"
After hearing what his subordinate said, Zhu Yuewu said coldly, "You still have to ask me about this kind of thing? Are you going to wait for the old man to complain in front of my father? If my father finds out, then all my previous efforts will be in vain." Already!"
After hearing Zhu Yuewu's words, the man naturally understood Zhu Yuewu's attitude. Therefore, the man immediately said, "I know about the young master, and I will go back and get rid of him right now."
The conversation between the two was not considered hidden. Although Mrs. Zhao had no intention of eavesdropping, she still heard everything about the conversation.
After hearing these words, Mrs. Zhao just wanted to run away immediately.
After all, although she didn't know who they were talking about, it was definitely not good for her to hear this conversation.
Therefore, Mrs. Zhao just subconsciously wanted to run away.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, someone suddenly patted her shoulder.
She couldn't help but subconsciously look behind her.
After seeing clearly who the other party was, Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but screamed in fright.
However, before she could speak, the man immediately twisted her head back, and then Mrs. Zhao died.
After killing Mrs. Zhao, the man dragged Mrs. Zhao's body to Zhu Yuewu.
"The young master has been eavesdropping on our conversation just now. I have taken care of him now!"
