It was already afternoon when Sheng Huan returned home.

As soon as I returned to the mansion, Nanny Zhao appeared from nowhere with a stern face, like a ghost, with a hint of gloating and complacency in her eyes.

He was not even polite and was extremely perfunctory.

"Young Madam, Madam wants to see you. Please follow me."

As Madam Tong Jia's confidant, Madam Zhao had never been humiliated by anyone. Everyone in the mansion was polite to her. As a result, she was still upset after being offended by Sheng Huan last time.

If she were to say, the young lady was too pretentious. No wonder the young master liked the charming Li Si'er. In the final analysis, it was the young lady herself who was not ambitious enough and had such a stubborn temper. No wonder.

Sheng Huan knew that Nanny Zhao had bad intentions, and what was more, she was so malicious that he couldn't even perform the courtesy properly, let alone pay attention to her and just walked forward.

"Young lady!"

"Young lady!"

The smug look on Nanny Zhao's face froze when she saw Sheng Huan didn't even stop. She raised her voice and called out again, but seeing that she was still unmoved, she hurried over to her.

Being blocked, Sheng Huan finally stopped and said in a neutral voice: "Madame Zhao also knows that I'm the young lady." A layer of frost filled her eyes: "Looking like this, I thought you didn't know. You don't even know how to be polite?"

When Aunt Zhao heard this, she was stabbed by the coldness in her eyes. She stiffened her body, suppressed her dissatisfaction, and bowed slightly: "This old servant greets the young lady. I was rude just now, but I was also anxious to convey the lady's words. This old servant is a little old, and some things I did not do well, I hope the young lady will not blame me."

Sheng Huan glanced at her, expressionless: "I thought that Madam Zhao was my mother's confidant, but now it seems that's not entirely true. It's also like what you said, Madam Zhao, after all, she is old, so it's natural that she can't remember some things."

Her voice was light and clearly without any emotion.

Aunt Zhao was unhappy again. Although she was the one who mentioned her age at the beginning, when she heard Sheng Huan say this again, she felt that Sheng Huan was mocking her. She stiffened her neck, but dared not say anything:

"Young Madam is joking."

"Why, does Aunt Zhao feel that Mother is not considerate to you? She lets you continue to work even though you are old." Sheng Huan thought for a while, frowning slightly: "How about I go and talk to Mother someday and ask her to let you leave the house to retire. Mother will definitely be very willing to do so."

Zhao Ma's eyelids twitched. Of course she didn't want to leave the mansion. She was so comfortable in Tong Jia's mansion. All the other servants in the mansion envied her. Hearing this, she was afraid that Sheng Huan would really do this. She shrugged, forced a smile, and said cautiously:

"I appreciate Young Madam's kindness. Madam treats me very well, but she has many trivial matters to attend to every day. Young Madam, please don't use this matter to bother her."

"Well, let's see how the situation develops." Sheng Huan lost interest after hearing that and walked away again.

"Young Madam, Madam is waiting for you." Upon seeing this, Madam Zhao spoke quickly.

Sheng Huan was still indifferent: "I went out of the mansion and got some fumes on my body. We'll talk later. Madam Zhao will go back and report to mother first."

After saying this, he took Yue Xing'a away.

There was no way that Nanny Zhao was willing to let Sheng Huan go. Upon hearing that, her eyes lit up. She even thought that if she went over like this, the lady might get even angrier when she smelled the meat. Thinking of this, she hurriedly chased after him.

"Madame Zhao, please stop."

Unexpectedly, Feng Qi and Feng Hua also stepped forward to block Zhao Ma, preventing her from getting closer.

When Nanny Zhao saw Fengqi, she felt a little scared. Fengqi had shown no mercy when he had chased her away last time.

After staring at Fengqi for a long time, she realized that Fengqi and Fengzhan looked unfamiliar, but she didn't think much about it and thought they were also maids bought by the young lady from outside.

The young lady is becoming more and more outrageous. There are so many servants in the house, yet she still wastes money.

Seeing that Sheng Huan really ignored her and left without giving her the face of the most popular person in front of the lady, she felt a little embarrassed and rushed forward. When she was stopped, she became anxious and threatened directly:

"Young Madam, Madam is anxious to see you. If you still have this attitude, don't blame me when I go back and report to Madam. If Madam blames you then, don't blame me..." Slave.

With a "pa!" sound, Feng Qi slapped Zhao Ma in the face before she could finish her words.

"Who the hell are you? You even dare to threaten our Young Madam." Feng Qi was full of vigor, especially after meeting His Majesty today. It was obvious that His Majesty must have a place for the Young Madam in his heart, and she would never let the Young Madam suffer any grievances at this moment.

A small servant dared to threaten his master, and this master was related to the mistress of the house. One can imagine how difficult the young mistress's life was in the Tongjia Mansion.

Thinking of the news he had heard after just a few days in Tong Jia's mansion, Feng Qi felt a chill in his heart. It was obvious that Longkodo did not take the young lady seriously, and the same was true for Madam Tong Jia, his aunt and mother-in-law.

Perhaps because she has so many identities, it makes it easier to control the young lady.

Aunt Zhao was startled when she was hit, and when she came to her senses she almost jumped up: "How dare you hit me!"

"The person I beat was guilty of insubordination. If the news gets out, we will be right." Feng Qi had a reason and evidence.

Nanny Zhao was furious, but when she thought about her actions just now and saw several servants passing by looking at her secretly, she immediately stopped talking. She really ignored them, and being stared at by Feng Qi made her feel even more embarrassed. In the end, she didn't dare to say anything more. She just wanted to go back and continue to flatter the lady.

When he left, there was uncontrollable resentment in his eyes.

Tongjia Mansion, Main Courtyard

Madam Tong Jia did not wait for Sheng Huan to come, but instead saw the slap mark on Madam Zhao's face and became furious.

"what happened?!"

Zhao Ma Ma lowered her head in grievance: "Madam, this has nothing to do with the young lady. It's just that the young lady was in a hurry to go back and change her clothes, so she beat the old servant in a hurry."

Madam Tong Jia had a gloomy expression on her face. Just as she was about to say something, she saw a servant from the Hehuan Courtyard running in hurriedly.

"Madam, the master has a fever!"

"What's going on? Quick, hurry over there!"

Upon hearing that Longkodo had a fever, Madam Tong Jia was so shocked that she forgot about Sheng Huan. She hurried to Hehuan Courtyard and stayed there for more than half an hour. She then heard that her husband woke up and called his concubine and illegitimate daughter over. She didn't know what to do, so she became even more anxious.

If her husband had something urgent to tell her, she had to see him now. Seeing that Longkodo had taken the medicine and his fever had subsided, Mrs. Tong Jia hurried back and had no time to settle the score with Sheng Huan.

No matter how much Nanny Zhao hated Sheng Huan, she knew that she couldn't get in the way of Madam Tong Jia's business at this time, so it was useless to resent him.

As for Sheng Huan, as soon as she returned to Wutong Courtyard, she asked the servants to fetch water first, as she wanted to take a bath. As for Madam Tong Jia, there was no need to rush, it was just those words, and it was not certain who was afraid of whom.

Besides, Mrs. Tong Jia couldn't take care of her at the moment.

While the servants went to fetch water, Sheng Huan found a book on the bed. At the same time, she also found a purse that she had stuffed in the bed before. She squeezed the purse and recognized that it was Feng Hua. Her eyes flashed slightly, and she pretended to be a little panicked and stuffed the purse into a gap in the bed.

"Young Madam, the hot water is ready." Feng Hua walked over. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she seemed to feel that something was wrong with the Young Madam.

"okay."

Sheng Huan nodded, stood up, and put the book on the bedside table.

At this time, the screen was drawn, and Sheng Huan approached the bathtub. The servant came over and helped Sheng Huan take off his clothes. Sheng Huan raised his hand slightly:

"I don't need too many people here, just leave the pearls and jade, and the others can go down."

"Yes."

After several people left, Feng Hua came out from behind the screen, took Sheng Huan's clothes and hung them on the rack. Seeing that the bed curtains were not fastened, she came over to fix them. The strange feeling just now came to her mind again, and she tidied the bed.

Then, she saw a green thread that almost blended in with the color of the bed. She thought it had fallen accidentally, so she reached out to pick it up. But when she picked it up, she felt its weight.

She reached out and pulled out a green purse from the gap in the bed.

There were hooks on the exquisite purse, which should have been left by the irregular marks on the edge of the bed, otherwise it would not have been easily discovered. She reached out to touch it, and sure enough, she felt the wooden splinter.

"What's wrong?" Feng Qi saw Feng Hua stroking something on the bed and walked over.

Feng Hua saw that it was Feng Qi, and quickly raised her hand to hold up the purse, but subconsciously lowered her voice: "The young lady's purse fell into the gap between the beds, and I just fished it out. Look, it's so delicate, I haven't seen it before. It must have been embroidered by the young lady before, and it smells very fragrant. Come and take a look."

They are all very good at needlework and are very familiar with embroidery stitches. They can recognize the young lady's needlework at a glance.

This purse must have been embroidered by the young lady herself.

Feng Qi came closer, and then, as if he smelled something, his face changed drastically. He snatched the purse from Feng Hua's hand, opened it, and sure enough, he poured out several medicinal herbs.

Musk, saffron...

The amount is very small, but these are indeed contraceptives. When did the young lady get these things?

And the purse is so new, it should be only a few days old. Considering that it has only been a few days since the young lady and the emperor had sex, the young lady could not be...
