C23 Punishment of Slave-making
Zhu Zimo was silent, in the original owner's memory, this old man was a prodigy in weapons, he spent the entire day researching new weapons, he was also an expert in training new recruits, the most powerful army in the Mo Yin Empire, the "Ferocious Wolf" was trained by him, it was said, that the strong army was invincible in battle, the moment those soldiers entered the battlefield, they would be like fierce wolves, striking the enemy until they lose their courage, causing the small border nations to not dare to act rashly, that was why Mo Yin Emperor had conferred him the title of a government official, representing that he could guard the stability of the Mo Yin, bestowing him with unparalleled glory and honor!
Thinking of this, she faintly sighed. Even so, so what? In order to repay the Mo Yin, he threw himself into the imperial court and took care of her as his duty, but he never gave her any of his concerns. And his mother, after being left behind all day long, had developed a heart of love for her, one day, she would lose her hair, grow old buddha, and left her alone with a poor child. Helpless, the Duke of Zhenguo and the Great General's daughter, Liu Yuenu, had to marry into the Zhu Family because they worshipped the heroes of the country; however, no matter how much Zhu Shunde doted on her, he still gave her a name, second madam,.
"Miss, we're here!" The voice of the flower interrupted Zhu Zimo's daydreaming. She raised her head and saw a towering palace door in front of her, upon which was written the words Duke Zhen's Mansion on a large board. There was a stone lion on her left and right with a pair of copper eyes staring at her.
"Begonia, wait for me, I'll go knock on the door!" Zhu Zimo said in a low voice.
"Yes sir!" Zhu Zimo put down the Begonia. She walked step by step to the bronze door and slapped it.
"Dong, dong, dong!" His voice resounded in the dark night, abnormally abrupt.
"Who is it?" A moment later, an impatient voice came from behind the bronze door.
Zhu Zimo didn't say a word, but waited quietly.
Jiyaaa! The bronze door opened, and a butler dressed in green lazily walked out.
In the dark night, it was difficult to see the appearance of the person. Even though lanterns were hung on both sides of the entrance, it was still unclear.
"Who is it?" The butler looked at Zhu Zimo doubtfully.
"Third Housekeeper!" Don't you know our young miss? " Begonia's voice came from the dark.
Third Housekeeper was stunned. He looked back and saw Begonia, who was sitting at the side. He hurriedly walked over and asked, "It's already so late, why are you back?"
"Not only am I back, our master is back too!" Begonia said.
"Mistress?" Only then did he realize that the outline of her face was indeed a little similar to that of the ugly Eldest Miss Zhu Zimo. However, he had never known that after she washed off the ugly makeup on her face, Zhu Zimo's face was actually so exquisite. When he looked at her clothes, he could see a frown on her forehead.
"What exactly is going on with Begonia?" Third Housekeeper frowned and asked.
"I'll divorce Fourth Prince!" Zhu Zimo said word by word.
"What?" Third Housekeeper's expression changed as he looked at Zhu Zimo in disbelief.
"Third Housekeeper, don't ask so much for now. Let Master go in first. Look at Master's attire. If others see it, who knows if they will laugh at our Master!" The Begonia urged.
"This!" A hint of hesitation flashed across Third Housekeeper's face.
"What is it? If I want to enter my own house, do I need to look at the face of a housekeeper? " A cold light flashed in Zhu Zimo's eyes.
"Master!" The Begonia endured the pain with all her might as she walked to Zhu Zimo's side.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Zimo held her up and glared at her accusingly.
"Don't blame Third Housekeeper, he usually takes good care of us, but the job of guarding the door is not something he can do!" Begonia said in a low voice.
Third Housekeeper looked at Zhu Zimo doubtfully. The more he looked, the more he couldn't understand. He just grabbed onto the Begonia's arm and asked in shock, "Miss, have you recovered your wits?"
Zhu Zimo's face darkened when she heard that. When did her brain become so bad?
"Yes, Third Housekeeper, it's a blessing in disguise, after master's stupidity enters the Fourth Prince's Mansion, everything will be fine!" Begonia explained.
"This is truly a good thing!" Third Housekeeper said sincerely.
"Third Housekeeper, you should just let us in. It's not like it's a big deal to be standing outside all the time, right?" Begonia begged.
"Wait a moment, I'll go to the residence and report to second madam. We have to get her to speak on this matter no matter what. There's no reason why you shouldn't come back so late!" Third Housekeeper gritted his teeth and said.
"Good!" "Then I'll have to trouble Third Housekeeper to go in and report it!" Begonia said gratefully.
Third Housekeeper turned around and hurried into the courtyard while Zhu Zimo and the crabapple waited outside.
Zhu Zimo noticed that the transvestite's face was extremely unsightly and anxious, so she asked, "Little girl, are you worried that we won't be able to enter the mansion?"
"Your servant is a bit worried!" Begonia nodded honestly.
"Right!" Zhu Zimo frowned and said coldly, "Hurry up and take out the rouge and cosmetic powder from your bag!"
"Mistress, what do you need these things for now?" Although the transvestite's mouth was full of doubt, his hand had already taken out some rouge from his bag.
"Naturally, we can't let second madam and my good sister know that I'm no longer an idiot when we return to our residence this time around!" Zhu Zimo sneered.
"This servant understands!" The Begonia helped Zhu Zimo put on her ugly makeup before nodding in satisfaction.
Time passed minute after minute, and the night breeze was extremely cold. Third Housekeeper had actually gone for so long and still hadn't come back yet.
Zhu Zimo's expression immediately became unsightly as she felt a wave of anger rising in her heart. She wanted to enter the house, yet she had to ask second madam's permission. What kind of rule was this? Thinking of this, she immediately strode into the mansion.
"Wait!" A few green-clad attendants stood forward, preventing Zhu Zimo and the transvestite from entering.
"You dare to stop me?" Zhu Zimo narrowed her eyes dangerously as she looked at the servants dressed in green standing at the entrance of the mansion.
"No one is allowed to enter the mansion without Third Housekeeper's permission!" The green-robed manservant said with an expressionless face.
"Impudent!" Are you all blind dogs? This is the young miss of our residence! " The Begonia said angrily.
"Eldest Miss?" A green-robed servant looked at Zhu Zimo with disdain and mocked, "We only have one young miss in the mansion, and that is the princess consort Zhu Ruoxi from the day before yesterday. Our little ones have never heard of it. Have you heard of it? " The green-clothed attendant turned around and glanced at his companion with a look of contempt.
"No!" The other servants dressed in green also chimed in.
"Liu Qiang, you guys are too much. You are just servants guarding the outer court. How dare you say such disrespectful words to Eldest Miss. You guys …" Begonia pointed at them, so angry that she was speechless.
