Su Niang knew Mrs. Zhao's temperament, and she was already thinking about what she should bring to the wife of the deceased son later.
But unexpectedly, Ms. Zhao shook her head and said, "I won't go anyway."
Su Niang's eyes widened in surprise, thinking she had heard wrongly, so she asked again, "Are you going to see Mrs. Zi?"
Mrs. Zhao stubbornly shook her head, "I won't go."
After knowing that she heard correctly, Su Niang was even more shocked.
Su Niang asked: "Why?"
Ms. Zhao turned her back and said, "Stop asking, go see if Sister Rui is awake."
Su Niang had no choice but to go out.
After Mrs. Zhao waited for Su Niang to leave, she quietly went out to inquire about what the people in the Hou Mansion said about Fu Zhao.
She listened for a while and then quietly returned to her room.
She sat on the chair, remembering those people saying that Fu Zhao was arrogant and deliberately teasing her, her eyes became determined.
Those people are right.
With Fu Zhao's ability, how could he possibly hire Dr. Gao?
I'm afraid even if Mr. Hou comes forward, he won't be able to hire Dr. Gao.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhao felt that Fu Zhao was even more disgusting. He actually came to play with a mother when she was worried about her child?
When Su Niang saw that Chen Sirui was awake, she came over and wanted to invite Mrs. Zhao over.
When Su Niang saw Mrs. Zhao, she couldn't help but ask again: "Have you really given an explanation to Mrs. Shizi?"
Su Niang found that Zhao and Fu Zhao were usually close, and Fu Zhao often came to visit Chen Sirui.
Presumably Zhao also regarded Fu Zhao as a good friend.
But Ms. Zhao still shook her head stubbornly, and Su Niang had no choice but to stop talking.
The talk about Fu Zhao in the Hou Mansion became more and more intense. Sometimes when Fu Zhao went out, she could see the maid in the distance whispering something to her, and laughing from time to time.
Liangsui couldn't bear it anymore and really wanted to rush over and fight those people.
Fu Zhao still smiled warmly and softly, "Whoever can't sit still now will lose."
After so many days, those things have not been forgotten, but have become more and more serious. Fu Zhao has determined that someone must be behind it.
In particular, in addition to not being able to hire Dr. Gao, there are also other rumors about Fu Zhao, true or false, false, false, true. It must be the person spreading the rumors behind the scenes, trying to make Fu Zhao unbearable and lose his composure.
When Fu Zhao specifically goes to clarify or suppress those rumors, others will think that the rumors about Fu Zhao are true.
Especially since it is still rumored that she had a childhood sweetheart cousin who was almost on the verge of achieving enlightenment.
If Fu Zhao is really angry and angry, then this rumor will be confirmed. Then how can she have the dignity to stay in the Hou Mansion in the future?
How will she face Chen Feng when he comes back?
If she can't sit still now, then she has fallen into the trap of the person behind it.
Siqi has been serving in the Hou's house since he was a child, and he knows more about the house than Liangsui does.
From these rumors, she also discerned something. Someone must be deliberately trying to frame Fu Zhao!
She and Fu Zhao advised Liangsui together, "Liangsui, don't worry, the prince's wife knows it well."
Liangsuo had no choice but to suppress his anger.
In order to prepare for the New Year, Mrs. Chen got some pieces of exquisite satin and specially invited Fu Zhao and others to pick them out.
When Fu Zhao passed by, many people were in Mrs. Chen's room, including several young ladies.
When Su Yurong saw Fu Zhao coming in, she smiled kindly at Fu Zhao.
Ever since the last time she fell from the rockery and was rescued by Dong Xiu, she and Fu Zhao had a special tacit understanding.
Of the three ladies who came, only Chen Yaying was happily picking up the satin.
Madam Ma, Madam Qian and Madam Zhao sat aside and watched, no one would argue with Chen Yaying.
Chen Yaying picked out the satin she was satisfied with and happily asked the maid to collect it and take it back.
She smiled and said to Mrs. Chen: "Thank you mother, I will have someone cut the clothes and wear them during the Chinese New Year!"
"Okay, okay, our sister Ying looks good in whatever she wears," Mrs. Chen said.
Chen Yaying finished picking out the satin and sat back.
She took a sip of tea and glanced at Fu Zhao sitting next to her. She quickly finished the tea and turned to Fu Zhao.
Chen Yaying asked curiously: "Sister-in-law, are what those people said true?"
"What are you talking about?" Fu Zhaoxiao asked.
"Oh, hasn't sister-in-law heard about it? Now everyone in the Hou Mansion has heard about it!" Chen Yaying pulled Chen Yayun and asked her, "Have you also heard about those rumors about sister-in-law?"
Chen Yayun shook her head like a rattle and whispered: "I haven't heard of it."
"Huh, you've obviously heard about it," Chen Yaying looked at Fu Zhao again, "Sister-in-law, is the matter between you and your cousin true?"
Chen Yaying's eyes were ignited with the fire of gossip.
She would quietly read some story books on weekdays, but she never expected that what was written in the story books would happen around her.
There are dozens of stories about Fu Zhao and her cousin in a storybook!
Others in the room did not expect that Chen Yaying could actually bring the unfounded rumors that had been spread in private to the stage in front of Fu Zhao.
Although those people were still talking to each other, their attention had long been attracted to Fu Zhao, waiting to hear Fu Zhao's answer.
Su Yurong said seriously: "Are these words allowed to be said nonsense?"
Chen Yaying glanced at Su Yurong with disdain, "I was talking to my sister-in-law, and she didn't say anything. Why are you angry?"
Su Yurong frowned. Chen Yaying was used to being arrogant and acted without any sense of propriety.
She hates Chen Yaying's behavior the most because she sees Fu Zhao as a new daughter-in-law who is easy to bully.
If it were the Ma family and the Qian family, let's see if Chen Yaying dared to say that to those two people.
Fu Zhao held Su Yurong's hand and stopped the argument between Su Yurong and Chen Yaying.
Fu Zhao asked with clear eyes: "What's going on between me and my cousin?"
Chen Yaying couldn't tell whether Fu Zhao was really stupid or pretending to be stupid. She continued: "They said that if it weren't for the fifth brother, you would have married your cousin long ago..."
Fu Zhao looked serious and scolded: "Let's not say whether this is true or not, but sister, you are still a young lady who has not left the government. If you say such things, if it gets spread, I'm afraid others will say you are frivolous.
Already."
Chen Yaying was surprised, "How is it possible? It shouldn't be possible, right?"
Her tone became hesitant.
When she was about to kiss her, if something went wrong and she lost a good marriage, she would regret it for the rest of her life!
When Mrs. Chen heard Fu Zhao's words, she knew she couldn't just sit idly by.
After all, it is her responsibility to teach these young ladies. If Chen Yaying does anything against the rules, she cannot shirk her responsibility.
Mrs. Chen then said: "My fifth daughter-in-law is right. Sister Ying, you should go back and think about your mistakes behind closed doors. When will you figure it out and when will you come out?"
