For those who are stubborn and believe that what they believe is the only truth in the world, the most effective way to convince them is to slap them in the face.

The eldest lady of the Sun family is such a person, both pitiful and hateful.

When a person is disliked by almost everyone around him and there is promise of benefits in front of him, people who were originally against each other will unite together because of this. This person can be considered capable, and my cousin Zhou Hui is such a person.

With Sun Yu's promise in the front and the secret encouragement of Nanny Zhou and the managers in the back, the servants in the Sun family's main house showed unprecedented unity.

Soon, the story of the cousin of the Feng family was exaggerated and spread to Zhou Hui's ears. This made her, who had been increasingly irritable because she could not find a breakthrough with Sun Yu in the past few days, think more flexibly.

After nearly a hundred years of war, Haoyue had only been established for a short period of more than 20 years. Many places had just solved the problem of food and clothing. If they wanted to find a good future for their children, they had to go to the prosperous provincial capitals.

This is also the reason why there are so many cousins ​​in the capital all of a sudden. All those who have some connections and relatives try their best to send their daughters here, hoping that if one of them is favored by a young master or a master, not only will she be able to enjoy a good life in the future, but she can also help support the family.

The flowers are so numerous that they dazzle the eyes. After seeing the bright lights and extravagance of the capital, few people would be willing to return to their original lives, so they will try every means to stay.

Zhou Hui naturally looked down upon the side branch of the Sun family. Madam Sun was not very popular in the circle of noble ladies in the capital, and she seldom participated in social activities. Therefore, with her family background, she still could not have contact with the ladies and masters of other mansions in the capital.

Therefore, she could only focus on the few men in the main house of the Sun Mansion. The illegitimate son from the East Courtyard had no real power in the Sun family yet, so she didn't look down on him for the time being.

The first person she caught her eye was Sun Yu, the current patriarch of the Sun family. However, despite her efforts for so long, Sun Yu simply didn't take her seriously. After counting the time and again, she could only imitate the cousin from the Feng family who had become a phoenix after rising to prominence.

Thinking of this, Zhou Hui's heart warmed up and couldn't help but beat wildly. The face of Grandpa Sun, who was over thirty years old but looked more handsome than a young man in his twenties in the countryside, kept appearing in front of her.

Madam Zhou came to report that Zhou Hui had started to send a little maid to inquire about the whereabouts of Master Sun these two days. Sun Yu smiled coldly when he heard this. It turned out that the cousins ​​were of this kind, especially the cousins ​​from the countryside.

"Mammy, go and tell the servants in the courtyard of the Master and Madam to cooperate with her actions. It would be best if the Madam could see it with her own eyes."

With the full cooperation of the servants in the main house of the Sun Mansion, an opportunity was soon created for Zhou Hui.

That day, Zhou Hui's personal maid found out that Master Sun was invited out for a drink and would return home around noon.

"Really? God is helping me."

Zhou Hui's surprised voice rang out from inside the room, "Quick, check my makeup today and find me something cooler to wear underneath."

Sun Yu did not have a close relationship with his parents, so apart from having dinner together on New Year's Eve, the family had never eaten together again. Therefore, it was difficult for Zhou Hui to completely copy the routine of the Feng family cousin, and she had to find another way.

Putting on a thick cloak over her cool inner garment, the cousin took her maid to the road that Grandpa Sun had to take to return to the courtyard.

Looking at the direction the two of them were going, and then looking up at the time, the old women guarding the door looked at each other, one of them quietly followed with her people, and the other hurried to the courtyard where the eldest lady was.

"It's so cold. When will the master come back? Is your information accurate?" In the cold wind, Zhou Hui tightened her cloak with both hands, stamped her feet and asked the little girl.

They had been wandering around here for half an hour, but had not seen any sign of Master Sun.

The little girl rubbed her red nose from the cold and whispered back, "I heard it from the master's personal servant with my own ears, so it shouldn't be wrong."

As a servant who shares the same fate with her master, she still felt that the young lady's behavior today was a little inappropriate. She glanced at her secretly and said, "Young lady, isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to do this? If the Madam knew about this..."

"What can we do now?" Zhou Hui took a breath and glared at her personal maid. "If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. Can we still stay in the Sun Mansion for a long time? Or do you want to go back to that remote place and marry a farmer casually?"

"Well, how come the Zhou family is a prestigious family in the local area? They can't be farmers, right?" The little girl retorted quietly. In her heart, being the wife of a farmer was better than being a concubine in this wealthy family.

To a wealthy family, I am just a plaything. If the wife is kind, life will be easier. But if the wife is vicious, my life will be worse than that of a servant.

"What do you know? No matter how good life is in the countryside, it can never be better than living in the Sun Mansion. If I, your master, am lucky enough to give birth to a young master, then maybe I will have the final say in the Sun Mansion in the future."

Madam Sun, accompanied by Nanny Zhou, had just come over when she heard this. She couldn't help but feel angry. Nanny Zhou, who had been paying attention to her expression, quickly covered her mouth and prevented her from making any sound.

"Ma'am, don't be impulsive. Let's wait and see what she wants to do before we decide whether it's feasible or not."

Nanny Zhou whispered in her ear. The eldest lady turned to look at the nanny who had grown up with her. She finally nodded gently at her gaze, indicating that she would not make any more noise.

After seeing that the lady understood what she meant, Madam Zhou released her hand covering her mouth. The group looked at the master and servant who were still spinning around.

At this time, Master Sun staggered over, surrounded by servants.

"Miss, I'm coming!" The little girl looked up and saw Master Sun walking towards her from afar, and hurriedly reminded Zhou Hui, who was already a little dazed due to the cold.

Seeing that she hadn't reacted yet, the little girl pushed her anxiously again, "Miss, the master is coming."

"Ah," Zhou Hui, who had just reacted, looked up at the group of people who were close enough to see clearly, and first loosened the cloak's straps to ensure that it could be pulled off with just a little force. Then he assumed the posture he had practiced many times.

The servants following Master Sun saw Zhou Hui and his servant standing not far in front of them. After exchanging glances, they adjusted their formation and prepared to take action at any time.
