Chapter 1426: Green Tea Auntie Becomes a Favorite with Her Beauty (5)

Mr. Zhao had never scolded Rongsheng before, and Rongsheng felt a little dissatisfied.

Dai Ke spoke up at this time: "Master, it has nothing to do with Rongsheng. I did it by accident. Rongsheng is also very competent. If he hadn't called a doctor in time, I would have been in pain for several days."

Listening to Dai Ke speaking for him, Rong Sheng was grateful and confessed: "Master, it was the eldest lady who deliberately made things difficult for us this morning. She deliberately knocked over the teacup when the Seventeenth Aunt was serving tea, which caused the Seventeenth Aunt to get burned."

When Mr. Zhao heard that it was Mrs. Zhao who did it, his anger subsided a little.

It's not that he indulges Madam Zhao, but he can't vent his anger on Madam Zhao. Dai Ke has been observing Mr. Zhao's expression, and seeing his mood, he knows that he will definitely not get any benefits today.

However, Dai Ke didn't think that he could get rid of Mrs. Zhao in one go.

She quickly tried to comfort him: "Master, I didn't do this well in the first place. It may also be that I was too tired and didn't hold the teacup steadily. It has nothing to do with Madam."

Dai Ke took all the responsibilities on himself, which really made Mr. Zhao feel relieved.

He symbolically comforted Dai Ke: "Then she shouldn't just ignore it!"

"Madam is busy helping you with the backyard affairs, so she certainly can't take care of me. I understand. And please don't take this matter to heart. I don't want to cause unrest in the mansion because of my little thing."

Mr. Zhao knew that Dai Ke was wronged, and after hearing her words of considering the overall situation, he suddenly felt more resentful towards Mrs. Zhao.

"If my wife and concubines could be half as sensible as you, and not be jealous and make trouble every day, I could save a lot of trouble."

"This shows that you are wise and powerful, Master. The concubines all care about you, so they are jealous of you."

Mr. Zhao was overjoyed by Dai Ke's praise and asked, "Will you be jealous of me?"

Dai Ke thought for a moment and said sadly, "If the master neglects me, I will definitely be sad, but I don't want to cause trouble to the master, so I will try my best to suppress my feelings."

As he spoke, Dai Ke seemed to think of the situation where he was ignored, and he suddenly looked like he was about to cry, which made Master Zhao feel very distressed.

He held Dai Ke's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, you are so sensible, how could I bear to ignore you?"

"Master~" Dai Ke called sweetly. Rong Sheng knew he was in the way and quietly left the room.

A quarter of an hour later, Dai Ke looked at Mr. Zhao who was self-satisfied on the bed, rolled his eyes in disdain, and stood in front of the basin and kept washing his hands. [Host, I'm about to vomit, but you can still please him calmly, you are really a god! ]

Dai Ke felt sick to her stomach by the ugly and wretched Mr. Zhao, but she needed his protection and had to flatter him.

[This mission is over, I must apply for work injury! ]

【I will try my best to submit the application. 】

Zhao Zijin passed by, and the soft and gentle voice coming from the side room was like a tiny electric current sweeping through the body, making the bones numb.

He tried his best to ignore the sound, but he couldn't stop it. He could only quicken his pace and enter Seventh Aunt's room.

"Aunt, you're looking for me?"

Seventh Aunt drank tea and gestured to Zhao Zijin to sit down with her eyes.

She said, "Today, that vixen really used some tricks to make the young master defend her, but this is good for you."

Without asking, Zhao Zijin knew who the foxy girl was that Aunt Seven was talking about: "What benefit do you mean, Aunt?" "Although Zhao Zihuo is the eldest son, he is a fool just like his mother. If Zhao Zihuo gets close to Dai Ke and some rumors spread, it will be a good opportunity for you to get promoted."

Although Zhao Zijin's mother was killed by the Seventh Aunt, Zhao Zijin was still young at that time and naturally did not know about it.

She has no children and has not been pregnant for many years. Coincidentally, Zhao Zijin is an ambitious person. If he can seize the opportunity to ascend to the throne, she will also be able to regain his favor.

Therefore, when Seventh Aunt was willing to help Zhao Zijin, she was also helping herself.

Hearing this, Zhao Zijin subconsciously thought that if rumors about Dai Ke and Zhao Zihuo spread, then Master Zhao would definitely punish Dai Ke in the end.

After all, punishing Zhao Zihuo would mean confirming that his son had an affair with his concubine.

If Dai Ke was dealt with, it would only make people think that she was deliberately seducing. Even if a concubine's reputation was ruined, it would not implicate the master's family. So whether it was for reputation or kinship, Dai Ke would be the only one who got hurt in the end.

Seeing Zhao Zijin's heavy face, Aunt Seven narrowed her eyes and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Zhao Zijin came back to his senses, and when he thought about how he had felt sorry for Dai Ke just now, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

He said calmly, "I was just wondering, if this rumor gets out, will it make the mistress suspect my aunt? I'm afraid the mistress will implicate my aunt."

After all, apart from Zhao Zihuo, the person most valued by Mr. Zhao is Zhao Zijin.

If these rumors spread, Mrs. Zhao would definitely be the first to suspect them.

The Seventh Aunt said confidently: "As long as everyone else sees the two of them having an affair, who would suspect that we were the ones interfering?"

"Auntie, what you mean is to let Zhao Zihuo take the initiative to approach Dai Ke and confirm the rumor?" After all, as long as someone sees the two of them having an affair, the rumor will no longer be a rumor but a fact.

By then everyone in the mansion will discuss the matter, and the mistress will only direct all her anger at Dai Ke, and naturally will not suspect them.

"Then Auntie means to let the child do this?"

"No, you just need to work hard to gain the master's appreciation. I have another candidate to match Dai Ke and Zhao Zihuo."

"Yes, I understand, kid."

"Then you should go back first. Don't stay here too long, or people will spread gossip about you."

"Yes, kid, please leave."

Dai Ke was injured, so Mr. Zhao had the right to exempt Dai Ke from the etiquette of greeting.

After seeing off Mr. Zhao, Dai Ke carefully considered the members in the mansion.

Judging from what happened yesterday, there are not many people in this mansion who have a say.

Those who dare not even speak and can only secretly negotiate with the original owner can be solved without any effort.

What she needs to pay special attention to now are Madam Zhao and Seventh Aunt.

Mrs. Zhao is not very smart, but her position is stable.

Seventh Aunt is a very smooth person, and it is not easy to find fault with her.

"Seventeenth Aunt, are you there?"

A low voice came from the back window. Dai Ke walked over and opened the window. It was the maid who was scolded by Madam Zhao yesterday.

Dai Ke asked in confusion: "Sister, what are you doing?"

The maid looked around and whispered to Dai Ke, "The Third Aunt and the Third Young Master want to harm you, you have to be careful."

"Why don't I understand what you are saying, sister?"

The maid explained, "After paying respects this morning, Madam kept the young master to discuss something. Not long after, the third concubine came, and the young master came out of Madam's room."

"I was cleaning the yard at the time, and I saw the Third Young Master telling the First Young Master to go to the corner, so I hid behind the flower bed and eavesdropped."
