The Lucky Bride Is Pretty And Delicate

Chapter 45: Who’s The Fake

The servants in the courtyard looked at Liu Sanniang with murderous eyes.

Tao Hong had already handed Zhou Yanshu to Granny Li and went in to get water with Liu Lu.

Under everyone’s gaze, Hong Ying slowly stretched out her slender and fair hands and allowed the servant girls to wash her face.

Tao Hong and Liu Lu had been serving Li Yazhi for more than ten years. The two of them were also on tenterhooks, afraid that something would happen or a piece of her skin would be rubbed off.

After all, Liu Sanniang sounded very confident. If this Madam was really fake, how would the real Madam punish them when she returned?

After cleaning Madam Zhou’s face, the two servant girls heaved a sigh of relief.

Then they burst into a fury.

“Miss Liu, do you have anything to say now?”

The two of them looked at Liu Sanniang and said coldly.

Liu Sanniang indeed didn’t have anything to say.

She was just stalling for time by asking Hong Ying to wash her face.

She was anxious now, not knowing why Magistrate Wei wasn’t here yet.

As long as Wei Shilai came back, she would not be under so much pressure.

Zhu Zongyang no longer cared about paying Liu Sanniang any heed. He ordered coldly. “Go and drag her away.”

Then, he apologized to Hong Ying. “Madam, please don’t mind her. She is just a poor girl and doesn’t know much about rules.”

Hearing Zhu Zongyang’s instructions, the constable quickly went to pull Liu Sanniang. However, before he could touch Liu Sanniang’s sleeve, Chu Yan grabbed his hand.

Though he did not say anything, he made it very clear that with him around, no one could touch Liu Sanniang.

“What’s wrong with you, kid? Get out of here and stop causing trouble.”

If not for the fact that Chu Yan was tall and did not look like someone to be trifled with, Zhu Zongyang would have personally beaten him up.

With a glance from Chu Yan, Zhu Zongyang immediately broke out in cold sweat and his face turned pale.

When Lin Zheng returned from the government office and saw this scene, he quickly walked to Liu Sanniang’s side. “Miss Liu, what’s wrong?”

Wei Shilai had gotten him to take charge of the situation in this mansion. Seeing that there was nothing much to do, he returned to the government office to ask if Magistrate Wei had returned. Then, he rushed back. However, he did not expect something to take place while he was gone.

Seeing that Lin Zheng was here, Liu Sanniang said, “Magistrate Wei is not back yet. The fake Madam Zhou wants to take Little Miss away, so I stopped her.”

Zhu Zongyang also quickly reacted. “Lin Zheng, don’t listen to her nonsense. She is the First Madam of the Zhou family, not a criminal.”

“Liu Sanniang, what else do you want to do? Madam Zhou just washed her face. What else do you want?”

Zhu Zongyang didn’t want to have anything to do with Liu Sanniang at this moment, afraid that later he’d be punished by the Zhou Family.

After Zhu Zongyang finished speaking, he thought that Lin Zheng would stand on his side.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zheng looked at Hong Ying seriously. Then, he turned to Old Master Zhou and cupped his hands. “Old Master Zhou, I’m instructed by Magistrate Wei to not let anyone take away Little Miss before he comes back, not even Madam Zhou. Besides, why is Madam in such a hurry to take her daughter out? For the sake of the child’s safety, she should stay in the mansion.”

Hong Ying frowned and looked a little unhappy. “It doesn’t matter if I get out or not, but everyone will get unhappy when people accuse them of being fake. Constable Lin, don’t you think so?”

Hong Ying was just unhappy that Lin Zheng had interrupted and ruined her plan. She did not feel flustered or frustrated at all.

Lin Zheng looked at Hong Ying. “Madam is right.”

After saying that, Lin Zheng said to Liu Sanniang, “Miss Liu, Madam Zhou is not going out. Apologize to her.”

Liu Sanniang said, “I’m also taking Little Miss’s safety into consideration. I’m sorry. I’m sure you won’t mind since you love Little Miss so much.”

Hong Ying glanced at Liu Sanniang and sneered. “Let’s go back.”

Old Master Zhou narrowed his eyes. Zhu Zongyang wiped his forehead and was about to explain when Old Master Zhou turned around and left.

After Old Master Zhou left, the servants in the mansion dispersed as well. The courtyard was also closed by the servant girl, clearly not allowing Liu Sanniang to enter again.

Zhu Zongyang glared at Liu Sanniang and was about to reprimand her.

Lin Zheng spoke first. “Miss Liu, it’s all because of you this time. When Magistrate returns, he will thank you properly.”

Fortunately, Liu Sanniang withstood the pressure and did not back off. If this fake had really taken Zhou Yanshu out, it would have been a huge mistake.

Zhu Zongyang was stunned. “Lin Zheng, you… Why are you also…”

Lin Zheng shot an angry look at Zhu Zongyang and did not say anything. His mission was to guard this courtyard and wait for Magistrate Wei to return.

Until then, not a fly could go out.

Since Liu Sanniang could not return to the courtyard, she planned to wait in the courtyard arranged by the Zhou Mansion for Wei Shilai.

After taking a few steps, she realized that Chu Yan was following her. Her heart trembled.

For some reason, when there was no one around, she was afraid of Chu Yan. But the weird thing was that she actually felt safe being with Chu Yan just now.

Now, her entire body was tense. If she walked fast, Chu Yan would walk fast too. She turned around and lowered her head. “Stop following me.”

Chu Yan said, “The shoes you made are very good.”

Only then did Liu Sanniang notice that the shoes Chu Yan was wearing had been made by her.

Liu Sanniang blushed immediately.

Ahhh, how dare he, how dare he walk around in those shoes!

What a shameless person!

Chu Yan smiled and was in a good mood. He turned around and left.

Liu Sanniang watched him leave and heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, she was angry and helpless. She stomped her feet and bit her lip before leaving.

Shameless! Shameless!

In the afternoon, Wei Shilai came back. The real Madam Zhou, Li Yazhi, was also brought back. However, she was only wearing ragged clothes and was disheveled, looking nothing like a rich person.

Wei Shilai brought Li Yazhi to see Old Master Zhou immediately. Her eyes were red and swollen as she said, “Great-grandfather, I’m Li Yazhi.”

Old Master Zhou could not even recognize her. Now, there were two Li Yazhi. They looked identical and their voices were the same. It was really difficult to tell them apart.

Old Master Zhou calmed down and said, “Go and invite Madam over. Let’s see who is fake and who is real.”
