Zhou retreated numbly and sat quietly in front of the window sewing autumn clothes for Gu Fengbo.
A woman walked in and said: "Madam, the old slave was just ordered to deliver an ice bowl to the Third Young Master, and met Qiu Tang beside the eldest lady.
Qiutang asked the old slave to bring you a message, saying that it was said by the eldest lady, don't forget each other if you want to be rich and noble."
Mrs. Zhou suddenly raised her head: "Go and find out what everyone is saying about us."
The mother-in-law came back not long after she left and said: "The young lady came to visit me just now, and everyone outside knew about it.
It is said that you went to please the young madam, and the young madam also wanted to win over the third room, so she gave a lot of supplements and medicines.
When the third master is well, he will be given an important position in the clan and he will be able to exercise the clan's authority in place of the eldest son."
Zhou frowned.
Just after Mu Yunhan arrived, words like this were heard outside. The eldest lady said, "If you want to be rich and honorable, don't forget each other." This was a threat to her.
Let her not forget the previous agreement and worry that she will be dragged away by Mu Yunhan.
The mother-in-law said: "Qiu Tang said that if you are free, you might as well go to the eldest lady's place and she will treat you to tea."
Mrs. Zhou said calmly: "I won't go. Send the two pots of autumn orchids raised in the yard to the young lady."
The mother-in-law smiled happily: "Madam, it's right to think so. Why bother to go against the eldest young master and the others?"
When Mu Yunhan received Qiulan, he couldn't help but smile: "It's really interesting."
She deliberately let people spread such rumors just to force Mrs. Gu to jump over the wall.
According to her opinion, someone like Mr. Zhou who just wanted to hide behind and pretend to be a good person would definitely do it quietly even if he didn't go to explain to Mrs. Gu.
Unexpectedly, she was given two pots of autumn orchid as a gift and admitted the fact in a high-profile manner.
Are you trying to fish in troubled waters and force Mrs. Gu to take action against her?
When Gu Fenglin came home, she said to him: "Third Aunt is not an economical person either. I feel like the eldest lady has offended her."
Gu Fenglin warned her: "You must be careful, that woman is insidious and cruel, and she is very calm.
Over the years, she has not made any moves easily, but once she does, she has always done it right. After all, they have been sisters-in-law for many years, and their cooperation is even more tacit."
Mu Yunhan said: "I know, I don't dare to take it lightly. I was thinking that she is definitely going to do something to me, but I don't know when it will be."
To attack the target, the more people there are, the more chaotic and easier it will be.
However, the emperor has explicitly prohibited Mrs. Gu and others from appearing in the palace.
This means that they are already under semi-house arrest at home and have been expelled from the upper class circles in Beijing.
This opportunity is not easy to find.
But the longer time passes, the more elusive it becomes.
She decided to stimulate Mrs. Gu again.
Early the next morning, after seeing off Gu Fenglin, she went to Mrs. Gu's yard.
The first thing he did when he entered the house was to hold down the woman who came to greet her and beat her up violently. The reason was that the woman had no rules and was disrespectful to her.
The woman was beaten until she cried like a ghost, but Mrs. Gu didn't show her face and didn't make a sound.
As expected, I can keep my composure.
But if you think you can escape this way, you are really naive.
Mu Yunhan raised his eyes and saw Mrs. Gu's personal maid Qiu Tang hiding and looking aside, and said: "She is sneaky and petty, pull her over and teach her the rules!"
Before Qiu Tang had time to scream, Xiao Mi was dragged over like a wolf, pushed to the ground and started beating her.
Qiu Tang cried miserably: "Madam, please help me, madam, please help me..."
