At this moment, the maid servant was in a daze.
“Young Lady, this person looks familiar. She seems to be…
“Oh right! First Madam’s brother’s daughter…
“Young Lady, is she the cousin of Dong’an’s uncle’s family?” The maid servant was, after all, a few years older than the young lady. When this cousin came, the people in the residence liked her very much, so they
remembered her. However, after such a long time, her appearance seemed to have changed a little, so she was not very sure.
“It’s her!” Young Lady Zhou’s eyes lit up. “I knew it. The last time I saw her, I thought she looked familiar, but I couldn’t remember her!
“But why is she here?” The maid servant asked.
“I know. I heard from mother that our family received a letter from Dong’an, saying that they had arranged a marriage for my cousin, but she ran away. My mother said that she was very bold. They’re still waiting for
her to go home to get married. They have sent letters urging her several times, but grandmother still couldn’t find her. I really didn’t expect that she was right under our noses!” Young Lady Zhou smiled.
She did not know what kind of marriage Dong’an had arranged for Yu Xian.
However, she knew that her grandmother was troubled by this matter. If she said that she saw her, her grandmother would definitely reward her.
“Young Lady, are you going to tell old madam?” Qiao’er was a little worried.
“Of course,” Young Lady Zhou said immediately.
“But after all, there’s a distance apart. Although you call her cousin, she is a relative of the first madam. If you don’t inform them and directly tell did madam, I’m afraid you will offend the first madam… Not to mention
other things, I’m afraid that the first madam will not be happy.”
The first madam that Qiao’er mentioned should be Yu Xian’s biological aunt.
The first madam was the first master’s concubine.
She only gave birth to Zhou Weizong, and was ranked third in the residence.
He had two older brothers, both of whom were from the first wife.
Due to that, the Zhou family did not like the first madam. They were afraid that she had the intention to fight for the family property, so they took care of the two young masters, but they did not care much about Zhou
Weizong.
That year, the Zhou family sent several children to protect the Crown Prince, but only Zhou Weizong was chosen.
It was because his position in the residence was awkward. Even if the Crown Prince was closer to him, he did not need to give too much face to the Zhou family. In fact, the better the Crown Prince treated Zhou
Weizong, the more the Zhou family feared this third young master, and they did not dare to treat the first madam coldly. In order to let his own mother live a better life, Zhou Weizong would certainly be more loyal.
When Young Lady Zhou heard the maid servant’s words, she was also somewhat hesitant.
“But what if for some reason, Yu family’s cousin can’t get married? She ran all the way to the capital city. It can’t be just to escape the marriage, right? She must be looking for the first madam, her aunt, to call the shots.
If I told old madam, she wouldn’t send her off immediately. She’d bring her to the house to stay for a while. When the time comes, she can just tell first aunt what she thinks. I won’t interfere with their matters.
“Moreover, first aunt might not even know where she is! Even if she feels uncomfortable when I find her, she still has to thank me on the surface. She only has third cousin under her, so what am | afraid of?” Young
Lady Zhou thought. She felt a little relieved.
She immediately got into the carriage and went home.
On the other side, Yu Xian scratched her head fiercely as if she had seen a ghost.
Her hair was in a mess.
“Brother Xie…” Yu Xian seemed to have suffered a huge blow. After entering the residence, she sighed heavily, “It’s over. | met a cousin of the Zhou family today. I’m afraid that I’ll be recognized. She saw me with Young
Lady Xie and Ms. Ying earlier. She’ll know that I’m here after asking around. When the time comes, the Zhou family will definitely pick me up.”
If the Zhou family came to pick her up, she really had to leave.
She was the only relative in the capital. If she did not go, she might be labeled as disrespectful and unfilial. Even the Xie family, which had taken her in, would be scolded..
