Hongyue led the fourth lady of the Hou Mansion, Chen Yaying, the fifth lady, Chen Yayun, and the cousin, Su Yurong, in.
Hongyue was very polite to the three ladies and did not dare to put on any airs.
Especially when facing the fourth lady Chen Yaying, Hongyue was even more cautious.
Everyone in the Hou family knew that Chen Yaying was the most favored by the Marquis, so her temper was a bit arrogant and she would not forgive others.
But with the support of the Marquis, even Mrs. Chen was quite wary of her.
"This is the fifth sister-in-law. She doesn't look much older than me." A girl in red walked straight up to Fu Zhao and looked Fu Zhao up and down without concealing it.
The girl in a lake blue skirt following her pulled her and said: "Fourth sister, this is not good, the fifth sister-in-law has just come through the door."
Chen Yaying turned around, glared at Chen Yayun, and said angrily: "I want you to talk too much!"
Chen Yayun retracted her hand timidly, not daring to speak any more.
Chen Yaying is petty and if she offends her, there will be a period of unrest in the future.
Chen Yayun shrank her neck in fear, fearing that Chen Yaying would hate her.
Fu Zhao smiled politely and said: "Hello, three sisters, this is a little idea I prepared, please accept it."
Liangsui then presented the meeting gift prepared by Fu Zhao, which were three identical bracelets.
Seeing this, Chen Yaying threw the bracelet to the maid and said dissatisfiedly: "Oh, I have a lot of bracelets like this. I'll give them to you, Axiu."
Chen Yaying's maid Axiu put the bracelet away and said, "Thank you, Miss, for the reward."
Fu Zhao's eyes darkened. Chen Yaying's behavior was tantamount to slapping her in the face in public.
Cousin Su Yurong, who had been silent until now, said: "Fifth sister-in-law, fourth sister has such a temper, don't take it to heart."
It turned out that that was the Fourth Miss Chen Yaying. Before Fu Zhao got married, he had heard that Chen Yaying had a unruly temperament.
Fu Zhao smiled and said, "Why should I take it to heart? The fourth sister doesn't like it, so I will prepare another meeting gift for the fourth sister."
Chen Yaying waved her hand, "Forget it, I don't think Sister-in-law Five can find anything good here. By the way, I heard that Sister-in-law Five is a twin. Did Sister-in-law Five's mother die in childbirth?"
Fu Zhao was startled, and the smile froze on his face.
Both Chen Yayun and Su Yurong felt that Chen Yaying had gone too far and wanted to dissuade Chen Yaying.
But Chen Yaying was so pampered by Marquis Dingbei that all the sisters-in-law in the family gave way to her. She didn't pay attention to the new fifth sister-in-law at all.
Chen Yaying shook off the hands stretched out by the two men and said nonchalantly: "Let me ask what's wrong? The second sister is pregnant with twins this time. It seems that she is in danger this time."
Chen Yaying was gloating about her misfortune. When the second young lady Chen Yayuan was not married yet, she often opposed her.
Thinking of Chen Yayuan's trip to the Gate of Hell this time when she gave birth, Chen Yaying raised her lips in a good mood.
Fu Zhao said softly: "Second aunt, Grandma Ji, has her own destiny, and she will definitely be able to turn danger into safety. You guys sit down for a while, and I'll go see why the maids haven't brought in the tea yet."
Fu Zhao took Liangsui out. Outside the door, she gave Liangsui a few instructions and then went into the house.
She sat down and chatted with the three ladies.
She has never been a person who can swallow her anger. In her last life, she mistakenly thought she knew the truth and wanted to kill Chen Feng herself on her wedding day.
What Chen Yaying did today was to step on her bottom line.
Liangsui came in with a tray. She lowered her head and walked behind Hongyue and whispered: "Sister Hongyue, can you help me?"
Hongyue was just about to curry favor with Chen Yaying, so she took a bowl from the tray and gave it to Chen Yaying first.
Liangsui pretended to bump into Hongyue accidentally, but Hongyue lost her grip and all the hot tea in the tea bowl spilled onto Chen Yaying.
"Ah!!!" Chen Yaying jumped up in pain. The back of her hand was red and smoke was still coming out.
Chen Yaying was so painful that she burst into tears, "What's wrong with you! How dare you scald me with hot water! I'm going to kill you!"
"This slave didn't mean it. Someone bumped into this slave." Hongyue turned around suddenly, "Liosui, is it you?"
"Hongyue," Fu Zhao's gentle voice sounded, "Everyone is responsible for what he does, but since it happened to me, everything is my responsibility. Don't be afraid."
Fu Zhao looked at Chen Yaying again, "Fourth sister, now is not the time to hold people responsible. Your hands were burned like this. If you don't take care of them properly, there will definitely be scars."
When Chen Yaying heard about leaving scars, her tears flowed even more fiercely, "I don't want scars, Sister-in-law Five, what should I do now, please help me!"
Chen Yaying was so frightened that she could only grasp Fu Zhao's life-saving straw.
If there are scars on her hands, how can she go out to meet people in the future? Others will laugh at her!
"Liangsui, go get a basin of cold water. Hongyue, go and ask the doctor to come over." Fu Zhao calmly ordered.
Liangsui and Hongyue hurried out.
Liangsui quickly brought a basin of cold water, and Fu Zhao asked Chen Yaying to soak her burned hand in cold water until the doctor arrived.
The doctor looked at Chen Yaying's wound and said, "Fortunately, it has been soaked in cold water. I will bandage it. But when changing the dressing every day, I'm afraid the fourth lady will suffer."
Chen Yaying asked worriedly: "Will there be any scars?"
The doctor didn't dare to speak too loudly, and just said: "If you take the medicine properly, it probably won't happen."
Chen Yaying nodded desperately, "I will be obedient and listen to you!"
After the doctor gave Chen Yaying the medicine, Fu Zhao personally sent Chen Yaying and the other two ladies to the gate of the courtyard.
Chen Yayun took Fu Zhao's hand and asked: "Fifth sister-in-law, can I still come and play with you when I'm free in the future?"
What Fu Zhao did just now, helping Chen Yaying regardless of previous suspicions, made Chen Yayun feel that Fu Zhao was a good person.
"Of course you can." Fu Zhao smiled softly.
After being burned, Chen Yaying became much more honest.
She was still worried about whether there would be scars on her hands and had no time to care about anything else.
Fu Zhao stood at the door of the courtyard and watched them leave.
After returning to the house and sitting down, she slowly looked at the red moon.
Hongyue gritted her teeth and asked: "Liosui, did you push me? Why did you want to harm me?"
Liangsuo shook his head hurriedly, "I didn't push you. I was holding a tray in my hand. Where could I free my hand to push you?"
Hongyue said angrily: "Then you didn't push it with your hands, you must have hit..."
"Hongyue, do you have any evidence?" Fu Zhao still had a gentle smile on his face.
Hongyue looked at Fu Zhao's smile and shuddered for some reason. She shook her head, "I have no evidence, but Liangsui was the only one standing behind me at that time. It must be Liangsui."
"So, this is all your guess? Yes or no?" Fu Zhao asked with a smile.
