Planning to marry the third master

Feng Zhuohua returned to Feiyu Court. It was the same as before. No one except those from Feiyu Court could enter. But things had changed and the owner had changed. The wolf had grown old and died, the iron cage was gone, and even the dog was gone.

There was an area planted with flowers and plants. They were all flowers and plants that women liked. Speaking of which, she saw that there were several maids in Feiyu Courtyard. She didn't expect that Xin Nian was different from Xie Yunxiao and would ask maids to serve him.

However, she saw a maid vomiting on the side and wondered what was going on. Seeing that she was vomiting violently, she looked around and saw that there was no one else, so she stepped forward to help her with her back and said, "Did you have a stomachache?"

The maid was startled and turned around, looking at Feng Zhuohua, then looked around, then bowed to Feng Zhuohua and said, "Third Madam."

"You recognize me?"

She had her face covered and didn't move around much here.

The maid said, "In Feiyu Courtyard, apart from the maids, there are only the masters. Your clothes will not be worn by anyone other than Third Madam."

Feng Zhuohua looked around. This place was not far from the back courtyard and was the most secretive. Why was this maid vomiting here secretly? She asked, "How long have you been in Xie's house?"

"I have been in Xie Mansion for five years."

Feng Zhuohua should have seen her five years ago. He looked at the person in front of him and found her to be pretty. He remembered that this person was the girl Xin Nian brought back from his trip. Now she has grown up and is pretty. He said, "Since you are not feeling well, I will ask the doctor to come and see you."

Yuan Jinjin looked panicked and immediately said, "No, that's not necessary. I know my own body. Thank you for your concern, Third Madam. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." After saying that, she turned around and left.

Feng Zhuohua didn't even know the maid's name. She was so frightened. Could she be pregnant?

Thinking of this, she began to frown. She didn't know Xin Nian's private life, or whether there was something going on between this maid and the guard.

You won’t be able to see Xie Xinnian today. He won’t come back even if he has to keep vigil.

Xie Yunxiao came back at night to rest. Seeing Feng Zhuohua sitting in the water pavilion to rest, he sat beside her to catch his breath.

Feng Zhuohua asked, "Is it lively outside?"

Xie Yunxiao nodded. There were so many people coming that it became a bit chaotic.

Feng Zhuohua asked: "Do you know about Xin Nian's private affairs?"

"Huh? What's the personal matter?"

"For example, he has a woman thing."

Xie Yunxiao said, "How would I know this?" He was too busy with his own affairs to care about Xin Nian.

Feng Zhuohua said with emotion: "He is different from what you think. Look at his backyard, there are many maids serving him. Back then, you only had two fire-stokers here, and it was very clean."

Xie Yunxiao also discovered that Xie Xinnian had quite a few maids. What was the purpose of having so many maids? He said, "Maybe there is someone in the room. It's all his private business."

"How old is he? Although he looks a bit old due to being away from home for many years, he is only twenty after all. How can he be thinking about things in the bedroom?"

Xie Yunxiao shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. He hugged Feng Zhuohua, rested his head on her shoulder, looked up at the sky like a little bird, and said, "Luo Mingshuang can't bear to see you idle, so he asks you to do such a big thing." He had an opinion that his free days were not idle.

Feng Zhuohua said, "Find two maids later and I will interrogate them."

Now he has to start taking charge of things, Xie Yunxiao sighed inwardly.

She said to Chao Er, "Chao Er, go find two maids. Third Madam wants to question you."

Chaoer responded immediately.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Feng Zhuohua said, "There are a lot of things to move. What should we do then?"

Xie Yunxiao said: "You don't have to worry about this. The Xie family has plenty of freight carriages."

"Okay, my former secretary has to help me move."

"it is good."

There were two maids following behind Chao Er. Xie Yunxiao raised his head, sat upright, but his body was leaning towards Feng Zhuohua.

The maid bowed: "Greetings to the Third Master, and Greetings to the Third Madam."

Feng Zhuohua asked: "Are you two here to serve Young Master Nian?"

The two maids looked at each other and said in unison: "Yes."

Xie Yunxiao narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Tell the truth." He could tell at a glance whether it was the truth or not.

The two maids immediately knelt down and said, "Third Master, please forgive me."

Feng Zhuohua was puzzled. She actually didn't hear any clues. She glanced at Xie Yunxiao. She was really arrogant, so she asked: "I'll ask again, are you serving the young master?"

The two maids' master was Xie Xinnian, so they had to take their master's instructions seriously and said in unison, "Yes."

Xie Yunxiao said coldly, "Chao Er, sink these two girls into the pond. There's no need to keep them."

Chao Er responded: "Yes."

As they were about to take the people away, one of the maids said forcefully, "Third Master, our master is a young master, you have no right to punish us."

Xie Yunxiao then felt deeply touched. He was now an outsider in this yard.

Feng Zhuohua stopped him before he could ask any more questions: "Chao Er, wait."

Chao Er loosened his grip again.

Feng Zhuohua asked Xie Yunxiao: "How did you know they were lying?"

"I just saw it."

Feng Zhuohua said: "Don't talk first, I will ask the questions."

"Okay, I won't get involved."

Feng Zhuohua asked the maid, "What are you two doing for him?"

The round-faced maid said, "I will help the young master wash up."

Another said, "This servant will serve tea to the young master."

Feng Zhuohua couldn't help but say, "He's often not at home, so you two have had a lot of free time this year."

The two maids prostrated themselves on the ground and did not respond.

Feng Zhuohua asked again: "I saw six or seven maids, what did they serve?"

When Luo Mingshuang was here, the maids had spoken in unison, and now they answered one by one: "Xiyue and Shuang'er are helping the young master loosen his bones, and they are good at this job. Shaoyao and Xintong are responsible for needlework. Sister Jinjin is in charge of food."

It sounded reasonable, Feng Zhuohua said: "So many of them are first-class maids?"

"The maids in Feiyu Court are not divided into different ranks. They are idle on weekdays, so we all do the work together."

"Aren't there two people in his room?"

The two maids said in unison: "No."

Feng Zhuohua frowned.

Xie Yunxiao snorted coldly and said, "Even the emperor doesn't have as many people serving him."

Feng Zhuohua said: "Let's all go back."

The two maids stood up, eager to leave quickly.

After the people left, Feng Zhuohua asked, "What do you think?"

Xie Yunxiao said: "You don't ask me to intervene, what do you think?"

Feng Zhuohua analyzed: "If they are lying, why are they lying and who are they hiding it from?"

Xie Yunxiao didn't make any analysis. The boy had grown up and had become more powerful. Just look at these maids and you will know that he is doing a good job in management.

Feng Zhuohua said: "I just saw a maid vomiting in the woods. She looked like she was pregnant, but we can't rule out the possibility that she had a stomach upset."

Xie Yunxiao frowned. If his eldest son was born from a maid, Xie Xinnian would be laughed at by many people. If the news got out, his business would be in trouble. He asked, "Is it true?"

"Yeah, so, I'm also wondering, if there is a pregnancy, is it in the Xin year."

Xie Yunxiao really didn't want to get involved in such troublesome matters. After all, it was Xie Xinnian's private matter. And Luo Mingshuang asked him to do something before her death. This troublesome matter would fall on his wife. If she didn't handle it well, outsiders would blame her.

He rubbed his temples. If he had known this, he would have returned to Jinling a day later.
