Chapter 103

Chu Jiu stood at the gate of the courtyard, before Lian'er came out, Mrs. Wei walked over with a few maidservants.

"Is there something wrong with Mother coming so early?" Chu Jiu asked obediently.

Mrs. Wei glanced at Lian'er who just came out of the wing room after changing clothes. "Is this the maid you bought?"

Chujiu looked back at Lian'er. "Yes, mother, Lian'er is very sensible."

"Ping'er, Qing'er" the two maids came to Mrs. Wei's side.

"Qing'er and Ping'er are the maids I picked, and they will be your servants. How can you say that you are the young lady of the Wei Mansion, so what can you do with only one maid?" Madam Wei said while looking at Chu Jiu.

Lian'er stood behind Chu Jiu, lowered her head, not daring to make a sound.

Chujiu didn't refuse this time. "Thank you for your concern, mother. I will keep these two servant girls."

Seeing that Chujiu agreed, Mrs. Wei didn't say anything, and left with her maid.

"The two of you go in and clean the house, pull out the weeds in the yard, wash the clothes on the shelf next to the bed, and take out the quilt to dry." After Mrs. Wei left, Chu Jiu ordered the two maids.

Then he took Lian'er out of the mansion and went straight to Zhang's mansion.

When he arrived at the gate of Zhang's mansion, he was stopped by his servants. At this time, Zhang Shilang was coming back from the morning court.

Looking at Chujiu and Lian'er who were blocking the door, he frowned. "Who are you, why are you blocking the door of this official's house?"

Chujiu turned around and saw Zhang Shilang, and smiled. "Hi Uncle, I am Lin Chujiu, the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Lin, and now I am the young wife of General Wei's residence."

Lian'er was stunned after hearing this. It turned out that her master was actually the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Lin.

Zhang Shilang's cold face gradually softened. "So it's Ms. Lin... No, it should be Mrs. Wei. I wonder if it's suitable for me to come to Zhang's residence?"

Chujiu smiled and nodded. "Uncle, I bought a new maid yesterday and accidentally lost the maid's deed of sale. Some people said that Mr. Zhang picked it up, so I came to ask for it."

"Mrs. Wei is joking. My son Zhang Ziheng is a student of the prince. How could he go to the street and pick up your maid's contract?" Zhang Shilang said.

Chujiu raised his eyebrows and said, "I think Uncle has misunderstood, what I'm talking about is not your son-in-law, but the son-in-law."

After hearing this, Zhang Shilang turned around and lowered his head to ask the servants behind him something, then looked at Chu Jiu.

"Mrs. Wei, wait a moment. I'll send my servants to fetch your maid's contract of prostitution."

Chujiu nodded in agreement and stood aside waiting.

I think this minister also knew what kind of character his bastard was.

After a while, the servant sent by Zhang Shilang came back, and his concubine also followed the servant out.

Seeing Chujiu appear at his door, he was about to show off when he was interrupted by Zhang Shilang.

"Zhang Ziqi, are you the one who picked up the contract of prostitution of the maid bought by Mrs. Wei?"

Zhang Ziqi immediately fainted after being yelled at and took out a deed of betrayal from his arms.

"Father, I bought that maid, and she snatched it away." He pointed to Chujiu.

Chu Jiu looked at Zhang Ziqi with a smile. "Young Master Zhang, are you saying that I'm lying?"

"Niezi, if you don't give the deed of sale to Mrs. Wei, I'll break your leg if you talk nonsense." Zhang Shilang hurriedly yelled at Zhang Ziqi.

Chujiu took advantage of Zhang Ziqi's stupefaction and took the contract of sale from him. "Uncle, please, I will go first."

After speaking, he turned around and left with Lian'er.

"Dad, she lied, I bought that maid." Chujiu, who had already walked some distance away, could still hear Zhang Ziqi's unwilling cry behind him.

Zhang Shilang raised his hand and gave him a slap. "Without my permission, you are not allowed to step out of the house."

Zhang Ziqi covered his face. "Father? Why?"

"You didn't even know you were in trouble, how dare you go out and ask why?" Zhang Shilang said harshly.

"Where did I get into trouble? That woman is obviously the one who robbed me." Zhang Ziqi said dissatisfied.

Zhang Shilang stared at him. "Do you know who that woman is? You dare to mess with her, and now she is still coming to her door."

"It's just a woman, how much background can she have?" Zhang Ziqi said disapprovingly.

The angry Zhang Shilang slapped him again. "That's Prime Minister Lin's eldest daughter, the young wife of the General's Mansion, do you think you can provoke her? That General Wei is famous for protecting his weaknesses. Fortunately, he is not in the imperial city now, otherwise you will have to peel off your skin."

After hearing Zhang Shilang's words, Zhang Ziqi stopped talking. "Come here, take this rebellious son back to his own yard, and don't come out without my permission."

Chujiu hid in a corner not far away, but she didn't expect her father-in-law to be a protector, and she likes this character.

Lian Er followed behind Chu Jiu. "Ma'am, what are we doing here?"

Chujiu, who heard the same thing, patted the non-existent dust on his body. "It's okay, go back home."

Returning to Wei Mansion, Chu Jiu glanced at the clean yard and the quilt hanging on the rack, and nodded, the two maids were obedient.

Inside, the bed has been replaced with new sheets, the clothes on the shelf beside the bed have been removed, and the table has been cleared.

"Lian'er, let's get lunch," Chu Jiu ordered.

Lian'er responded and went out of the room.

After a while, the two maids came into the yard carrying a basin of clothes. After drying them, they saw Chu Jiu in the house.

"Madam, do you need us to get lunch?" Qing'er asked.

Chu Jiu said: "No need, Lian'er has gone to get it, you can go to eat now."

The two of them bowed to Chujiu and then left the yard. The maids had a special place for them to eat. Chujiu had no intention of flattering them and asked them to stay at his place to eat.
