Zhou Jiaqing raised his eyes and saw that the person speaking was none other than Zhou Jiahua, the eldest daughter of the Zhou family's second eldest aunt. She was now thirteen years old and ranked third.

Zhou Jiahua is tall and beautiful, but because he often makes rude remarks, his beauty turns into meanness.

Her biological mother, the eldest aunt, was the concubine of the Minister of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Affairs, and she was very charming, so she was favored by the family. In addition, Zhou Jiahua was the first daughter of the second wife, so Zhou Haiyang was more pampered and developed a spoiled character. He has an arrogant personality. In his previous life, he was domineering and the two of them quarreled as soon as they met.

"Admire the Fourth Prince?" Zhou Jiaqing was confused.

When Zhou Jiahua saw that Zhou Jiaqing refused to admit it, he immediately became impatient: "Second sister, you helped the fourth prince out of trouble with your front foot, but fell into the water with your back foot because you peeked at the fourth prince. Isn't this a gesture of admiration?"

"Third sister." Zhou Jiaqing interrupted Zhou Jiahua's words with a cold voice. His eyes were full of coldness and he said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense like this. If what you say today is spread like this, it will not only damage my reputation. The reputation of the entire Marquis's unmarried female family members will be implicated."

Zhou Jiaqing sneered in her heart. Because she was a concubine, her third sister loved to follow the second wife and her legitimate daughter Zhou Jiayun since she was a child. She was still the same idiot as before, but she was just a backer. The second wife was really too anxious to make herself look embarrassed.

"You were shameless enough to take a peek. What does it have to do with the rest of us?" Zhou Jiahua retorted angrily.

The maid beside him hurriedly pulled Zhou Jiahua's sleeves.

"Tui'er, what are you asking me to do? What happened has already happened. Am I still not allowed to say anything now?"

Zhou Jiaqing glanced at the old lady calmly. At this time, she was turning sideways, lowering her head to sip tea, as if she didn't hear the movement here.

Also, since his son cannot be the master of the Hou Mansion, he must have already disliked their eldest son, and wished that the eldest son would be in bad luck soon. However, since his father was still in Da'an City, the old lady was also very smart and would never embarrass Zhou Jiaqing in public, so the old lady's disguise in the previous life was never exposed.

"Oh, shameless?" Zhou Jiaqing frowned and said, "This is how our concubine in the Hou Mansion evaluates our first-in-law sister. It seems that the third sister is usually well taught." Zhou Jiaqing walked slowly to Zhou Jiahua. Stand still.

Zhou Jiahua's offensive words would usually cause Zhou Jiaqing to quarrel with him, and then the old lady and others would lightly dismiss her on the grounds of a quarrel between sisters.

As time went by, even if the old lady showed that she didn't like Zhou Jiaqing at all, Marquis Jing'an would not say anything. After all, Zhou Jiaqing quarreled with his sister every day regardless of the occasion, and nothing happened.

Today she is holding on to her, and who taught Zhou Jiahua? Let’s see if anyone can still calm down?

Zhou Jiaqing didn't even think about asking Zhou Jiahua to recruit a second roommate with just a few words, but he still wanted to take the opportunity to give a warning.

After hearing Zhou Jiaqing's words, the old lady's face darkened. She was worried that Zhou Jiahua was talking nonsense, so she scolded Zhou Jiahua in a cold voice: "Do you not want your reputation anymore or do you want to ruin the reputation of your second sister? Is this how your mother usually disciplines you?"

Zhou Jiahua looked unhappy after being lectured by the old lady, but he thought he would see her panicked look later, but he couldn't help but laugh secretly, so he didn't care much about being reprimanded.

The second wife, Li Yaxuan, stood up quickly and sighed softly: "Mom, yesterday my daughter-in-law was anxious when she heard that Qing'er fell into the water. She was about to visit her when a servant came to report that the fourth prince came to visit, causing Qing'er to accidentally fall into the water. When she heard This makes me confused."

Li Yaxuan looked at Zhou Jiaqing sincerely: "It's about Qing'er's reputation. I discussed it with the master and took the initiative to find out the whole story. It's because I love the third girl so much that I can come and go in my Lanxinyuan at will. The third girl heard the whole story. The third girl was also in a hurry and said something rude. If you make Qing'er unhappy like this, the second aunt will make amends to you."

This action showed that she was virtuous and virtuous, and she achieved four goals with one stone. It was a servant who came to report the facts, not fabricated out of thin air; she secretly inquired for the sake of the second young lady; a concubine can enter and leave the mistress's courtyard at will. It was so grand, and even more subdued, Zhou Jiahua was so proud that his tail was about to go up to the sky; an elder put down his posture and apologized to the younger generation, and he knew the general situation and knew how to advance and retreat.

Sure enough, everyone looked at the second lady with more admiration, but looked at Zhou Jiaqing with a bit of contempt.

Xia He and Dong Mei both lowered their heads and listened calmly. They had no role to speak here, but they were secretly anxious in their hearts.

The Second Madam was impeccable in her words and was used to being a good person. However, she mentioned that the decision was made together with the Second Master. The Old Madam and the Second Master were biological mother and son, and she loved and cared for the Second Master. After some words, the Old Madam was very satisfied.

Zhou Jiaqing looked at Li Yaxuan, who had a rosy complexion and was wearing a silk gauze and gold silk embroidered long dress with an emerald lotus hairpin in her hair. This outfit gave off a scholarly atmosphere.

Because Mrs. Chen of the eldest house worships Buddha all the year round, the power of running the family falls into her hands. She is always gentle and fair in dealing with others. If she hadn't finally married into the fourth prince's house and saw the meager dowry, she would have really believed Li Yaxuan's " fair".

A fall into the water can attract such attention. Anyway, he is too eager to bring bad luck to Dafang.

Zhou Jiaqing shook his head: "Although Second Aunt inquired privately and never came to Tao Ranyuan to ask about my personal maid, it was all for my sake. How could I blame Second Aunt?"

When Li Yaxuan heard these strange words, she looked a little unhappy. She thought that her words would surely dispel Zhou Jiaqing's doubts and gain a reputation as a virtuous person. She didn't expect that Zhou Jiaqing, who was usually simple-minded, would say this.

It's so kind to not ask the maid next to the person involved when you have time to inquire privately!

But she was the mistress of the house, so she immediately covered up those emotions, "Qing'er, it's the second aunt who sees that your maid is busy taking care of you. The second aunt is not good..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Jiaqing's voice came again: "However, there are still a few things I don't understand, that is, I don't know the fourth prince. Why should I peek at him?"

Li Yaxuan was waiting for this sentence and still replied gently: "It's like this. There was a guard in the eldest brother's courtyard who escorted the second lady the day before yesterday. He said that he knew the cause and effect. The second aunt was clumsy and was afraid that misrepresentation would cause trouble to Qing'er. The reason Let him speak."

If there is any misunderstanding, it is not her fault, she just wants to clean herself up.

There was hesitation on the old lady's face for a moment, and she was a little unpredictable about Li Yaxuan's thoughts. She was worried that if the girl had a new love affair, she would not ruin Zhou Jiaqing's reputation by showing it to the public. Zhou Jiaqing said that the reputation of the entire unmarried female family members of the Hou family will be implicated, and the reputation of her precious granddaughter cannot be tarnished.
