Chapter 1425: Green Tea Auntie Becomes a Favorite with Her Beauty (4)

Dai Ke walked forward, picked up the teacup on the tray, and handed it to Mrs. Zhao respectfully: "Madam, please have some tea."

Mrs. Zhao put her hand close to the teacup, felt the heat, and immediately had an idea.

She pretended to take the teacup, but she exerted force with her hands.

"Ah!" Dai Ke noticed her movements but did not dodge, and the spilled tea immediately splashed on her arm.

She screamed softly, and a red spot appeared under her lifted sleeves.

"It hurts so much." Dai Ke sat down weakly on the ground, showing the burned and red area, sobbing pitifully.

"Seventeenth Aunt!" Zhao Zihuo was the first one who couldn't help but stepped forward to inquire about Dai Ke's injuries.

When Mrs. Zhao saw this, she cursed her son inwardly and scolded Dai Ke over and over again.

Before Madam Zhao could scold Dai Ke for being stupid, Dai Ke said delicately, "This matter has nothing to do with Madam. It's all because I'm too stupid. I couldn't even hold a teacup and frightened Madam. I deserve to die."

As she spoke, her eyes looked innocent and aggrieved, like a pitiful person who had been bullied.

The key point is that everyone present knew that it was Mrs. Zhao who wanted to put pressure on Dai Ke today.

After hearing Dai Ke's words, everyone understood that it was Mrs. Zhao who overturned the teacup on purpose.

Many people felt sorry for Dai Ke, but the only ones who could speak up for him were his eldest son Zhao Zihuo and Rong Sheng.

Even if the others wanted to help Dai Ke, they didn't have the authority to speak up.

Mrs. Zhao looked at Rongsheng and saw that his face had changed. She slammed the table and scolded Dai Ke: "You are clumsy in the first place, and you are still pretending to be innocent?"

Dai Ke bit her lip and pretended to be weak and frail: "It's all my fault, Madam, please don't be angry with me."

The more Dai Ke said this, the more it seemed that the accident just now was deliberately made difficult by Mrs. Zhao.

Mrs. Zhao obviously understood this, and her anger was about to burst out.

Just as she was about to lose her temper, Rong Sheng spoke up, "Seventeenth Aunt's burn cannot be delayed. Madam, please be kind and let Seventeenth Aunt go down for treatment. Otherwise, if she is delayed and scars are left, it will be difficult to explain to the master."

With just one sentence of "Please be merciful", Rongsheng sentenced Mrs. Zhao to death, concluding that she was deliberately making things difficult for her.

But he used Mr. Zhao to pressure her, forcing her to swallow her anger.

Madam Zhao angrily yelled at the maid beside her: "What are you standing there for? Why don't you go find a doctor? You prepared the tea. If anything happens to Seventeenth Aunt, I will sell you out!"

The tea was clearly arranged by Nanny Li, and Nanny Li was Madam Zhao's person, which means that this was also Madam Zhao's intention, but she ended up taking the blame.

The maid ran to ask for a doctor in grievance, but Mrs. Zhao snorted coldly and left with a wave of her sleeves.

Mrs. Zhao had left, and the rest of the people left quickly as well.

Only Zhao Zihuo refused to leave, and asked Dai Ke with concern: "Are you okay?"

Dai Ke wiped his tears, his face pale with pain, but he said, "I'm fine, thank you for pleading for me, young master."

Dai Ke didn't even bother to think of words, and directly brought out what he said to Master Zhao to perfunctorily answer Zhao Zihuo: "I was neglected in the Dai family before, but I didn't expect to be protected by the young master today. I am even grateful in my heart."

Zhao Zihuo stared at Dai Ke. She was like a delicate and pure lotus who knew nothing about the world. When she shed tears, it was like withering petals, miserable and pitiful.

"Don't cry. If you are wronged in the future, just come to me. I can still protect you in this Zhao Mansion."

"Thank you, young master. But people will gossip about me, right? I don't want you to be misunderstood because of me."

"But I can't just watch you get bullied."

"I am grateful to you, Master, but I am in so much pain that I would like to return to the hospital for treatment first."

"Go ahead. If the doctor doesn't bother to treat you, just come to me and I'll get you the best doctor."

"Thank you, Master."

Back in the courtyard, Rongsheng and the maid also brought the doctor.

Rongsheng stopped at the door and asked the maid to lead the doctor in.

The doctor treated the burn very skillfully.

When the doctor left, Dai Ke held the maid and looked at her with guilt: "It's all my fault that the lady got involved with you today because of me."

As she spoke, Dai Ke took off the golden hairpin from under her head and stuffed it into the maid's hand: "I am just a concubine's daughter, and I don't get any rewards on weekdays. This hairpin is the only valuable thing on me. It was left to me by my mother. I will give it to you today as a small token of my apology."

Dai Ke really didn't seem to have anything valuable on him, and even the fabric of his clothes was very rough. It was only because of Dai Ke's beautiful face that they looked somewhat gorgeous.

The maid returned the hairpin to Dai Ke and defended her: "I know that you are not to blame for what happened today. I also know that the eldest lady is usually arrogant and often takes her anger out on others. You should be careful when you get along with her in the future."

"You were implicated by me, yet you still comforted me. I don't know how to thank you enough."

"It's just a reminder, Auntie, don't take it to heart. I can't stay any longer, Auntie, take care."

Dai Ke stopped her and stuffed the hairpin into her hand: "This hairpin can also be exchanged for some money. If the eldest lady embarrasses you, you can also exchange some silver to redeem yourself."

The maid wanted to refuse, but Dai Ke said, "If you don't accept it, I will suffer from guilt day and night."

Unable to refuse Dai Ke's kindness, the maid had no choice but to accept it. Her affection for Dai Ke grew stronger and stronger: "Then I'll take it first."

Dai Ke smiled sweetly and sent the maid away.

into the night.

When Dai Ke heard the door opening, he immediately rolled up his sleeves.

Mr. Zhao walked in with a worried look on his face, only to see Dai Ke lowering his sleeves to cover up.

He walked forward and saw that Dai Ke's eyes were red and swollen, frowned and asked, "What happened?"

Dai Ke shook his head with grievance and forbearance, then forced a bitter smile: "It's okay, I just miss home a little."

Mr. Zhao still has some self-awareness. Since the Dai family has pushed Dai Ke out, it means that Dai Ke is not valued by the Dai family at all.

And he also learned today that Dai Ke's mother died early and she suffered a lot in the Dai Mansion, so she definitely couldn't be homesick.

Thinking of Dai Ke's cover-up action just now, Master Zhao held her arm and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Hiss~" Dai Ke took a breath, tears falling, but he still shook his head, "I'm really fine, Master."

Hearing Dai Ke's suppressed and trembling voice, he suddenly lifted up Dai Ke's sleeve.

The burned skin on the fair arm was wrinkled, red and swollen, which was shocking in contrast to the delicate skin.

Mr. Zhao felt distressed: "How did this happen?"

Dai Ke tried to cover up the truth, "It's okay, Master. I just accidentally spilled the tea. But I'm going to spoil your fun tonight. The doctor said that the burn must not be touched, otherwise it will be difficult to heal."

Master Zhao felt that things were definitely not that simple and shouted, "Rong Sheng!"

Rongsheng pushed the door open and said respectfully, "What do you want, Master?"

"Didn't I ask you to follow Ke'er? How could you neglect your duty and let her get hurt so badly?"
