Chapter 255 No News
Song Yuan still had that elegant face, but he was dressed differently today. It was lunchtime, so he must have hurried over from that bed.
Not only are her clothes a little wrinkled, but even her hair is loose.
The old lady was in better condition, but she walked slowly due to her age, and no matter how much she ate and drank, she couldn't gain weight. She was as thin as a bamboo pole, and looked at Liuyao who was standing in front of the yard with a sinister look.
Zhao Fangyu did not speak, but pointed at the old ladies standing at the door, and said with a smile: "The old ladies are old, but their legs are quite strong. Your family is a gentry, and even the old ladies you raise at home are tall and strong, like thugs."
Song Yuan laughed awkwardly and was about to explain something, but the old lady poked him in the back. He immediately shut up and just saluted towards Zhao Fangyu.
The old lady stepped forward, but before she opened her mouth, Chunshao and several maids glared at her. Then she seemed to suddenly realize something and bowed to Zhao Fangyu.
Zhao Fangyu didn't respond. As the man stood up, he grabbed Mei Xunyin's hand and said, "No wonder the rules are so lax. It turns out that the leaders are following their example."
"Old lady, why don't you tell me what mistake Liuyao made? Why was she imprisoned and lynched instead of being a good maidservant to Fifth Sister?"
In the wind and snow, Liuyao's thin body became more obvious, especially when he was standing next to Zhao Fangyu. Compared with Chunshao's maids who were dressed in fine clothes and had beautiful faces, he looked like a refugee.
She was wearing ill-fitting clothes, a tattered skirt, and the cloak she was wearing was taken from her by Zhao Fangyu.
Zhao Fangyu now wore another cloak. Fortunately, it was snowing heavily that day and the servants were afraid that the wind and snow would wet the lining of the cloak, so they brought an extra one as a spare. Otherwise, Liuyao would have had difficulty in having any warm clothes.
Since Zhao Fangyu couldn't go in, naturally no one else could go in either.
The two groups stood in front of the yard and confronted each other.
Zhao Fangyu and his companions all came from outside and were dressed warmly. Unlike Song Yuan and the old lady, they hurriedly got up from the kang.
"Your Highness, you are joking. We are just country folk who need to make a living."
"It's snowing hard today, and I'm afraid that the princess's fun will be interrupted. But since Fangyun got pregnant, she has had a strange temper and is not worthy of being seen by others, so all the maids and servants in the courtyard were beaten out."
"Sweep and clean these things at night, wait until she is asleep, and then clean them quietly."
"Liuyao woke Fangyun up while she was cleaning. Yuaner felt sorry for her and drove the offending girl out."
"She wasn't punished, but was given a small house to live in. After all, she was a dowry from the Zhao family, so it would be difficult for the Song family to deal with her. As for how she became like this, it's unknown."
The old lady pushed the blame for everything, and blamed Zhao Fangyun for the matter of the pomegranate medicine. Her words made it seem as if the Song family was some kind of blessed place, and that all the people here were good men and women.
Now even Chunshao was a little angry. All the big maids were from the Zhao family. Not to mention the Zhao family, no other family could be as disgusting as the Song family in their words and deeds!
"Chun Shao, is the wind strong?"
Upon hearing this, Chun Shao pulled Zhao Fangyu's cloak and said, "The snow is getting stronger. Princess, please come into the house."
Zhao Fangyu did not move, but pursed his lips, his eyes showing undisguised sarcasm: "Did the old lady lose her tongue? How come I can't understand what you are saying?"
"Or did you, the mistress of the Song family, my dear sister, maliciously send someone to torture this maid who had been with her for more than ten years and disturbed her sweet dreams in the middle of the night?"
"If that's the case, I'm going to go home and talk to my mother."
Everyone around was about to laugh when they heard this, and Mei Xunyin couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips.
Every word Zhao Fangyu said was full of yin and yang.
The old lady could understand what Zhao Fangyu meant, but she was in the wrong and was caught red-handed by Zhao Fangyu.
Song Yuan rushed out like a dog protecting its master, defending his mother: "Sister, how can you speak to mother like that? Even though my Song family is not an official, the Song family and the Zhao family are still relatives, so we should at least show some respect!"
Zhao Fangyu's eyes did not even look at Song Yuan, but only fell on the tightly closed door in the yard.
For so long, there was no movement in the room.
This is not Zhao Fangyun's character.
Among the four maids brought as dowry by Zhao Fangyun, one Liu Yao was injured, one Liu Zhu died, and the other two were missing.
As a result, Zhao Fangyun's personality changed drastically.
Song Yuan and the old lady are in the same boat, and judging from the old lady's attitude, Zhao Fangyun's life is not going to be much easier.
The quieter the yard was, the angrier Zhao Fangyu became.
Especially Song Yuan, who happened to run into the muzzle of the gun.
Zhao Fangyu's hands were itching and he urgently wanted to slap someone a few times.
But looking at Song Yuan's dirty appearance, he was afraid that he would dirty his hands.
"If the in-laws can do it, they can also choose not to do it. What's so strange about it?"
With red lips and cold beauty, Zhao Fangyu's eyes were as sharp as knives, slowly falling on the mother and son.
Just a little bit of the power he had displayed over the years was revealed, and they could sense that Zhao Fangyu had just spoken to them in a very friendly manner.
Zhao Fangyu curled his lips and sneered:
"Sometimes, a person is lucky and can get a good situation that does not belong to him. This is like stealing something. If it is discovered, it must be returned with interest."
"If the Song family can't learn, I'm afraid they won't be able to enjoy the blessing that Fifth Sister brings to you."
Zhao Fangyu lowered his head and coughed lightly, and several tall and strong old ladies behind him immediately pushed away all the people at the gate of the yard.
Song Yuan and the old lady were still immersed in the shock of Zhao Fangyu's words that they could be in-laws or not.
Chunshao and others supported Zhao Fangyu and walked forward.
No one swept the yard, and the snow was piled up deep.
The two old ladies squatted down, carrying Zhao Fangyu and Mei on their backs and waded over following the sound.
Everyone felt vaguely uneasy.
How come Zhao Fangyun...hasn't made any move until now?
Liuyao was already in tears.
Xingzhi hugged her, afraid that she would faint from crying.
Liuyao led the way tremblingly, and after they walked for a while, the road became much cleaner and there was no need for people to carry them on their backs.
Zhao Fangyu and Mei Xunyin came down. Liuyao looked at the familiar door and gently reached out to knock on it.
But after a few breaths, there was no movement in the room.
Now, even Song Yuan and the old lady changed their expressions.
Song Yuan was a little scared, his face turned pale: "Mom, is Zhao dead?"
The old lady knocked Song Yuan's leg with her cane, her face equally gloomy: "Shut up and watch!"
Zhao Fangyun had attempted suicide several times before. In this situation, if Zhao Fangyun really committed suicide, it would save the Song family a lot of trouble.
For example, what the old lady said just now can all be attributed to the dead Zhao Fangyun.
Mei Xunyin's expression changed several times. She pushed the person away, ignoring the tears on Liuyao's face.
She is the eldest sister-in-law, and she can't always let Zhao Fangyu take the lead in everything.
