Even Ren Dong became curious and looked up. Die Wu's eyes were full of calmness. "The Crown Prince's wife stopped the young mistress just to prevent her from finding out about this. The woman in the pavilion is Aunt Chu who served the Crown Prince's wife."
what?
Aunt Chu?
Song Guanzhou was surprised. "No way. Aunt Chu is already over 40 years old——"
However, just because she is in her forties doesn't mean she can't have a second spring.
"Oh, how shameless! She has been a widow for all these years, could she have been doing this? Besides, there is no place for her to go, but she chose to go to the pavilion where the masters were enjoying the view."
Honeysuckle covered her face, feeling extremely shy.
Song Guanzhou had more gossip, "Tell me quickly, who is she having an affair with?" At her age, if she could have an affair with someone younger, she would have admired her.
"…Madam, why don't you and Sister Dong guess who it is? It's someone you are familiar with anyway."
Someone familiar?
Honeysuckle blurted out, "How can I guess that? There are many men in the mansion. There are so many grown men in the gatehouse, stable and garage. How can I guess it?"
"It can't be Brother Liu."
Song Guanzhou spoke leisurely.
Ren Dong couldn't help laughing and exclaimed, "Of course not. Brother Liu is only in his thirties. How can he be interested in a forty-year-old woman like her?"
After saying that, he pushed Diewu.
"My dear sister, you are still like this in front of the young lady. Come on and tell me."
Diewu glanced at Song Guanzhou and Rendong, then slowly uttered three words, "Mr. Zhao!"
"what?"
Honeysuckle was the first to jump up.
"This Doctor Zhao has a wife and children in his hometown. Maybe he even has grandchildren!"
Die Wu shook her head. "Madam, I'm not very familiar with Doctor Zhao. But after you got sick, he came to see you a few times, and he looked honest and serious. When he came out with Aunt Chu, I thought I had seen you wrong, but what can I do..."
Having said this, Diewu hesitated.
I don’t know whether I should say the following swear words to the young lady, but if I say them, I’m afraid of offending her ears.
"Just say it."
"There are few people around the lotus pond. If you, Madam, hadn't wanted to take a walk today, we wouldn't have taken a detour there. Therefore, the two of them never thought that we would pass by there. When they came out, I saw with my own eyes that Doctor Zhao hugged Aunt Chu and kissed her a few times—"
When Diewu said this, she just felt embarrassed.
"The two of them together are probably about a hundred years old. It's really disgusting."
Ren Dong frowned, her mind racing. After a while, she looked at Song Guanzhou and said, "Madam, why would the Crown Prince's wife cover up such an ugly thing?"
For this reason, he even dragged Song Guanzhou into the house and had a big quarrel with him.
Song Guanzhou shook his head. "Aunt Chu has always been her right-hand man. Maybe she doesn't want me to ruin her good fortune. After all, if I really did, I'm afraid Aunt Chu wouldn't be able to stay in this mansion."
Even though they are slaves in someone's family and have never done anything dirty, they still dare not do anything wrong in public.
If they are caught, this adultery, obscenity and cholera, if they are not punished, how can there be family rules and regulations...
Honeysuckle shook her head, "Young Madam, I just feel something is wrong."
When Die Wu heard this, she nodded thoughtfully and agreed, "Sister Honeysuckle, tell me why it's wrong?"
"Young Madam, when I was a girl, I served the Crown Prince's wife for many years. Aunt Chu said that I am very familiar with her, but I have never heard that she is promiscuous."
Rendong took a soft handkerchief and helped Song Guanzhou wash his body.
She recalled the past and found it incredible. "Aunt Chu became a widow early. Thanks to the prosperity of the Crown Prince's wife, many widowers asked people to propose marriage, but Aunt Chu never agreed. I still remember that I and other maids asked Aunt Chu, and it was Aunt Chu who said that a chaste and virtuous woman would never marry again."
Die Wu curled her lips, "Now that the old house is on fire, she can't stand the loneliness anymore."
Ren Dong still had a look of disbelief on her face. "Although Aunt Chu did a lot of bad things and was foolishly loyal to the Crown Prince's wife, she treated her damned man by burning incense and paper every festival, including Qingming and Cold Food Festival, without missing a thing."
A woman like this, already in her forties, is still having an affair?
I'm afraid that's not justifiable.
Song Guanzhou shook his head, and was quite open-minded. "People will always change. For those who have died, we can just cherish their memory. Maybe Diewu is right. As she grows older, Xiao Yinxiu is busy with servants. She has no children and no hope. I'm afraid that's why she has this idea and wants to get close to Doctor Zhao."
"Young Madam, if a person is so dishonest, is it worth it for the Crown Prince's wife to offend you to cover up for her?"
Song Guanzhou seemed to sense something important and looked at Ren Dong, "What do you mean...?"
Ren Dong shook her head. "I don't understand it either, but considering what the Crown Prince's wife did in the past, maybe she was the one who ordered it?"
Die Wu was puzzled, "Why bribe Doctor Zhao?"
When Ren Dong heard this, she said, "From now on, the medicine for the young lady and the fourth young master will not be taken from Doctor Zhao. With this move, who knows what evil intentions they have."
Song Guanzhou pondered for a moment, stirring the warm water unconsciously.
"Yes, why bribe Doctor Zhao? Even if Xiao Yinxiu had the guts to do it, he wouldn't dare to poison me, right?"
Honeysuckle sighed, "It's important to be on guard against others."
She looked at Diewu, "You and Dieyi are strangers. You keep staring at Aunt Chu. I also asked Liu Er to keep an eye on Doctor Zhao. If it was just an ordinary affair, why would the wife of the Crown Prince make such a big fuss? I think there must be something fishy going on here."
Die Wu looked at the young lady, "Sister Dong, this is a good idea. If I pay more attention, I will definitely be able to find some clues."
Song Guanzhou nodded, "Be careful, don't let anyone catch you."
She sighed and smiled softly, feeling helpless.
"I have been staying in Shaohua Garden peacefully and have never provoked Xiao Yinxiu. Why does she hate me so much and always think about her aunt? What's the logic?"
Seeing that the water had become much cooler, Rendong helped Song Guanzhou to stand up.
While wiping her body, he said seriously, "In my humble opinion, the Crown Prince's wife is jealous of you."
Song Guanzhou sneered, "Are you jealous of me?"
Die Wu helped wipe her hair and softened her voice, "Young Madam, I think what Sister Ren Dong said is right. Many women in the harem are very shallow-minded. They only know how to compare themselves with others all day long, either with their husband's official position, the power of their husband's family or their own family, or with how many sons they have given birth to, or whether the couple in the house are loving or not..."
Song Guanzhou frowned, "Shouldn't Silang and I be the ones that everyone feels pity for?"
Pei An is old and has no children. Not to mention concubines, he doesn't even have a nice maid in the house.
Honeysuckle smiled and said softly, "What woman is really willing to take a concubine for her husband? The princes bring them all into the house one by one, but when it comes to you, the fourth young master really treats you with all his heart. I'm afraid that he will be jealous beyond recognition because of this one thing."
"Then she is really bored!"
