Chapter 288: Not found
Bai Zhaozhao refuses to believe in evil. Even if this path cannot affect the outcome, she will uncover the truth!
No reason, just a rebellious attack!
Perhaps it was because Bai Zhaozhao's expression was too strange, Madam Lu added: "The county lady is of noble status. When choosing... choosing friends, you should keep your eyes open and not be deceived!"
Bai Zhaozhao: ...
Who deceived me?
Lu Zimo? Him?
"Mrs. Lu, I'm not good at beating around the bush. Why don't you just tell me what I've been deceived by?"
Mrs. Zhong was somewhat surprised. Looking at Bai Zhaozhao's expression, could it be that he didn't understand what she said?
Wasn't what she hinted at obvious enough?
Does she have to expose it?
She remembered that Matron Hong had said that little girls were thin-skinned, and that she only needed to make it clear to the county lady that she would not recognize Lu Zimo.
But looking at Bai Zhaozhao's attitude, it is obvious that he does not leave any room for himself!
Zhong felt that she had said everything she needed to say, so she smiled and said, "County Lady, I am only saying this because I am worried about you. You don't have to worry about it. How about this, the flowers in my garden are blooming beautifully, County Lady, you don't mind, why don't you go take a look?"
Bai Zhaozhao: ...
Oh my goodness, you’re kicking me out already?
"Mrs. Lu, there is no need to do this. I must hear something clear today!"
"This..." Zhong hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Before, I went to the temple..."
"Madam!" A voice interrupted Mrs. Zhong.
A woman who looked like a maid came in carrying cakes and said, "The steamed cakes you ordered are ready. It's just right to bring them to the county lady for her to taste."
Then the nanny placed the pastries in front of Bai Zhaozhao.
Bai Zhaozhao looked at her meaningfully: "You came in just in time. I remember Madam Lu told us not to disturb you if you don't have anything to do, right?"
Madam Hong's face froze, and she knelt down hurriedly and said, "Please calm down, County Lady. I was in the kitchen just now and didn't know what Madam had ordered. I think the maid outside was used to not stopping me, so she forgot to remind me, and that's why I offended you, County Lady!"
Bai Zhaozhao didn't say anything, but looked up at Zhong. As expected, Zhong smiled and said, "This is the old nanny beside me. She is old and not very smart. Can the county lady forgive me?"
"Okay!" Bai Zhaozhao curled his lips and smiled.
Madam Hong breathed a sigh of relief, then bowed and said, "County Lady, why don't you let me take you to visit the garden!"
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and gestured for Bai Zhaozhao to stand up.
Bai Zhaozhao glanced at Zhong again, and the other party lowered his eyes and said nothing, indicating his agreement.
But Bai Zhaozhao did not move, and the stalemate lasted for a few breaths.
Zhong couldn't help herself after all: "County Lady?"
Bai Zhaozhao didn't move.
Zhong took a closer look and was shocked to see that Bai Zhaozhao was sweating profusely and had a painful expression, as if he was going through some torture!
"County Lady! What's wrong with you? Madam Hong, hurry up and call the palace doctor!"
"Yes Yes!"
Madam Hong responded, and just as she was about to leave, she heard a cold voice: "No need!"
Very good, the plot control is easier to repel this time!
Bai Zhaozhao's aura suddenly changed, as if he had broken free from some restraints. He stood up and drew out the soft sword from his waist and put it directly on Nanny Hong's neck!
Nanny Hong was suddenly horrified!
This sudden change also shocked the Zhong family!
"County, county lady, what are you doing? Someone come here!"
"Shut up!" Bai Zhaozhao shouted, "Madam Lu, I've said before, I don't like beating around the bush. If I can't get the whole story today, I'll kill this servant to vent my anger!"
As netizens said, if you can take action, don’t talk too much!
Madam Hong probably realized what was going on, and said boldly, "County Lady, killing me is a small matter, but affecting your reputation is a big deal!"
Bai Zhaozhao didn't answer, but just swung his sword in a flash. Nanny Hong screamed in pain and fainted on the ground.
Zhong was terrified. She looked at Bai Zhaozhao in horror: "You, you really killed her!"
It was unrealistic to say that as the mistress of an official family, she had never executed a servant, but she had never seen someone like Bai Zhaozhao, who would stage a bloody scene over a disagreement!
Bai Zhaozhao laughed sarcastically: "Don't worry, she won't die from such a small wound, she just fainted from fright!
Madam Lu, now that I have hurt someone, my reputation is gone, can you please explain clearly?"
At this moment, there was a commotion at the door, and then Governor Lu ran in: "Madam, are you okay?"
When he saw Nanny Hong and Bai Zhaozhao's blood-stained sword on the ground, he almost felt that his official career was over!
"County Lady, why is this happening?"
Bai Zhaozhao said coldly: "Lord Lu came at the right time. It's nothing. I'm just not good at communicating with Madam Lu. I want to be more direct."
Zhong quickly ran to Magistrate Lu, calmed herself down, and began to explain.
It turned out that after Zhong came back, she asked Nanny Hong to investigate in detail the events surrounding her childbirth. Nanny Hong did not go with her to the temple to pray for blessings, and for some reason she suddenly wanted to investigate events that happened many years ago.
After learning what happened, I rushed to do it.
Unexpectedly, after much investigation by Nanny Hong, everyone said that the child was indeed dead. Several maids saw Wu burying him!
In addition, Matron Hong also investigated the couple and several students in the temple, and found out that they were all employed by others!
In other words, they were deliberately lying in front of the Zhong family!
The purpose is to make Mrs. Zhong suspicious and think that Lu Zimo is her biological child!
At first, Mrs. Zhong thought that it was a setup by Mrs. Wu. She herself was terminally ill and would not live long, so it was normal for her to want to find a backer for her son.
But after investigating, they actually found out that it was Princess Showa!
Later, the county lady specifically revealed to Mrs. Zhong that she had been to the manor.
Mrs. Zhong expressed her incomprehension. What good would this do for the county lord?
Then Madam Hong speculated, didn't Lu Zimo covet the county lady before? Did the county lady also like him?
But their identities are obviously not matched, so the county lady came up with this method to make Lu Zimo the legitimate son of the Lu family!
Zhong was skeptical about this. She didn't think Bai Zhaozhao would lower herself to do this for Lu Zimo. On the contrary, she would rather believe that this was Lu Zimo's wishful thinking, and he was trying to lure Bai Zhaozhao into helping him!
That's why there was this test today. At the same time, Zhong also wanted to remind Bai Zhaozhao that she should keep her eyes open. Men who scheme against women are not to be trusted.
Bai Zhaozhao: ...
What he said made so much sense that she couldn't even refute it!
After hearing what happened, Magistrate Lu was bewildered: "County Lady, it's not that I favor my son, but he simply doesn't bother to have the identity of a legitimate son, so he would never do such a thing, let alone tempt you to do it!
Oh, of course, you can't possibly like my son, so why don't you explain to me why you put on a show for my wife?"
Bai Zhaozhao: ...
Sure enough, Chunyu did not do his job well and revealed his true colors, but the Nanny Hong beside Mrs. Lu was very capable.
What should I do if I suddenly feel a bit socially frustrated? Waiting online, very urgent!
Bai Zhaozhao calmly put away his sword, sat down slowly and said, "I said I was just kindly reminding you of the facts, do you believe me?"
Governor Lu: ...
Zhong: ...
