"What? What happened to the fifth brother and sister?" He was surprised.
The maid was so anxious that tears came out. She raised her finger and pointed in one direction and said: "My wife, the Crown Prince, is in that room. Go and have a look!"
Mrs. He turned around and looked hesitantly at the ladies standing behind her.
At this time, the gossip hearts of several ladies were aroused, and they were also very curious about what happened to the Crown Prince's wife.
So several ladies urged: "Hurry up and have a look. I don't know what will happen if it's too late!"
"That's fine, let's go over and take a look," Mrs. He told the maid, "lead the way."
The maid stood up on her hands and knees, led He and others to the side room, and pushed the door open.
The corners of He's mouth curved almost invisible, and her tone was still full of panic and worry, "Let's go in and take a look. My brother and sister are not seriously ill."
Mr. He rushed in with several ladies.
I saw the quilt protruding upward on the bed inside the room, obviously there was someone inside.
He smiled secretly, if Fu Zhao caused such a scandal, Mrs. Chen would definitely suppress it as soon as possible.
Moreover, Mrs. He was also afraid that the scandal caused by Fu Zhao would affect her reputation, so she only brought a few ladies here this time.
If Mrs. Chen wants to shut up at that time, it will be convenient.
Even if this matter is suppressed, Fu Zhao will definitely not be able to stand up in the Hou Mansion in the future.
He usually had to be angry with Qian's sister-in-law, but she didn't want to be angry with her younger siblings.
As we got closer, a lady suddenly pointed at the quilt and said, "Look, there seems to be more than one person lying in that quilt!"
Hearing this, the others looked carefully and saw something unusual.
There were clearly two people lying on the bed.
He had a look of understanding, but weren't there just two people lying there?
She didn't want to drag on like this anymore, so she simply walked to the bedside in three steps and two steps at a time. She held a corner of the quilt with her hand and said, "How many people are there? Just pull the quilt open and take a look."
"It's so lively here." A crisp voice sounded from the door.
Hearing this familiar voice, He's hands and feet suddenly froze.
She looked at the door in a daze, and saw a woman with a gentle and gentle look standing at the door. Who else could it be if she wasn't Fu Zhao?
Mrs. He was shocked and speechless for a long time. After a long time, she asked in a difficult tone: "You...why are you there?"
If Fu Zhao is standing outside the house, then who is lying on the bed now?
He suddenly had a bad premonition.
The lady who followed Mrs. He asked: "Huh? Didn't this maid say that the Crown Prince's wife is in the house? Why is the Crown Prince's wife outside the house again?"
Fu Zhao looked at the maid who was trembling with fear, with a thin layer of ice covering her brows, and said with a half-smile: "This maid? She looks very strange. She's not my maid. I don't know which yard she comes from."
Yeah, come here to spread random news."
The maid timidly said: "Slave... I don't have..."
Fu Zhao asked: "Do you dare to swear that you are serving in my yard? This kind of thing can be found out with a little investigation. If you dare to lie, how about you die without a burial place?"
The maid moved her lips, but did not dare to swear. She was obviously guilty.
"Okay, how dare you lie!" Liangsui raised his eyebrows and shouted angrily, "Tell me, where are you serving as a maid?"
The maid shrank her neck in fright and glanced timidly at Mr. He.
Mrs. He was afraid that this maid would say something she shouldn't have said, so she hurriedly said harshly: "You maid who is full of lies! It's a shame that I believed your words! Do you know the consequences of lying to the master? Not only you, but also your family
Will also be implicated!"
Hearing the warning and threat in He's words, the maid quickly shut her mouth tightly and lowered her head, not daring to look around.
Seeing that Mrs. He was obviously relieved, Fu Zhao raised her lips and said, "Okay, let's forget about this maid for now. Third sister-in-law, please quickly lift the quilt and see who is lying inside."
.”
He's fingers holding the quilt had long been stiff. If Fu Zhao hadn't appeared, she would have lifted the quilt without hesitation.
But now that Fu Zhao was standing here, she felt fear in her heart, but she didn't dare anymore.
Fu Zhao urged: "Third sister-in-law, what are you waiting for? Or, what are you afraid of?"
"I...what do I have to be afraid of?" He said bravely, but large beads of cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she couldn't speak clearly.
"Third sister-in-law, hurry up!" Fu Zhao continued to urge.
At this point, He has no second choice.
Her fingers trembled and she slowly opened the quilt.
When he saw the two people lying on the bed, He closed his eyes and almost fainted.
He was startled and took a step back, but her legs were already stiff and numb, so she accidentally fell back.
Seeing that He was about to fall, Fu Zhao quickly caught He with his quick eyes and hands.
"Third Sister-in-law, be careful," Fu Zhao said softly, "Let me see what scares Third Sister-in-law into looking like this."
Fu Zhao glanced at the bed and said in surprise: "Huh? Why is it the Lord of Pingle County? There is also an unknown man?"
Hearing the name of the Lord of Pingle County, the ladies brought by Mr. He all came forward to see that he was really the Lord of Pingle County!
The Lord of Pingle County is lying here with a man?
The ladies were surprised and excited at the same time. They seemed to know something extraordinary!
The Lord of Pingle County seems to be a well-behaved person, but he didn't expect that he turned out to be such a person in private!
Mr. He regained his composure and said hurriedly: "You know what kind of person the county lord is. What happened today must have been framed!"
Fu Zhao echoed: "Yes, Third Sister-in-law, we must restore the county Lord's innocence! Let's pull this man out for interrogation first."
He's face turned pale. She knew who this man was. If she were to interrogate him, the matter would definitely get darker and darker.
He hurriedly changed his mind, "The best solution to this matter is to pretend that it never happened. Otherwise, no matter what the truth is, it will be bad for the reputation of the county owner. You all know who the county owner's grandmother is. If you offend
If you lose that person, I’m afraid you won’t be able to gain a foothold in the capital in the future.”
Fu Zhao nodded and praised: "Third sister-in-law is still thoughtful and this is the best solution. Third sister-in-law, don't worry, I will never tell anyone about this matter."
Several other ladies agreed and said they would not tell this matter.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door again.
