CHAPTER 19 - Vengeance

Then he went into the kitchen and wiped the soot all over his face, as if he had just burned it.

She just sat on the edge of the bed and waited.

"Auntie is so beautiful."

"These butterflies like Auntie so much." The children surrounded Madame in surprise and shouted out.

Old Mr. Zhao could not help but clap his hands in praise, "This is the first time I have seen such a strange sight, First Lady is truly a strange person, this is a good omen, Eldest Young Master and Prime Minister's Palace are married, heaven and earth spirit objects are happy for you."

Hearing Old Mr. Zhao's words of praise, Su Sheng revealed a face of pleasant surprise, "Madame actually has the ability to lure butterflies?"

Aunt Yun also agreed respectfully, "Master, old man is right, this is a good omen. Congratulations old master, congratulations to Madame."

The Chiang said to the Aunt Yun with a smile, "Only you know how to speak."

"Madame, this Seven Colored Peony is truly fake. I wonder what kind of expert created it?" Old Mr. Zhao asked with interest.

"This isn't a famous family, it's the work of one of our lower class maidservants." Chiang could not bear to part with the peony flower, so she said in a pleased tone.

"How could a servant have that kind of ability? This Su Family is truly a den of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. " The scholars from Old Mr. Zhao who came with him praised.

"Hahaha." Su Sheng was in a good mood and brazenly praised himself, "It's just a peerless painting, there are many such extraordinary people in my family."

"Madame, can you invite this embroidery person out? My daughter also loves embroidery, so she might be able to exchange pointers with others." Old Mr. Zhao said.

"Madame, call him out." Su Sheng said with a smile.

The Chiang agreed, then called Qing Dai over, and instructed her in a soft voice, "Go to the maid, Zishan, who was responsible for washing clothes, and ask her to weave the peony painting, tell her that the Lord wants to give her a box of pastries."

"Yes."

Not long later, Qing Dai brought a servant girl over. That servant girl had her head lowered as she wore a double bun, and a green sleeveless armor with a peachy and round collar, and a cloth skirt. There were no obvious accessories on her head.

Chiang asked, "Did you embroider this Seven Colored Peony?"

"Yes." The maid replied timidly, and had to prick up his ears to hear.

"Lift your head, the old master and the Madame want to reward you." Aunt Yun said.

As if she was worried about something, the servant girl slowly raised her head. When Aunt Yun saw the face in front of him, his smile froze on his face.

"H-how could this be … "She …"

She had eaten the food that had been drugged, so she should be bedridden right now. What was going on?

Lian Si Yue was dressed in tattered clothes, and her face was covered in dirt as she stood in the middle of the pavilion, her eyes cowering and not daring to look at anyone. Her frail body was shivering, she suddenly kneeled down and cried out with a trembling voice, as if she was extremely scared, "Master, Madame, how are the aunts, I, I don't want any pastries!"

Seeing the person in front of them, Su Sheng and Madame's faces immediately changed. At the same time, they turned their heads and looked at Aunt Yun with questioning gazes.

"Isn't this Prime Minister's Palace? How did it become like this? Isn't it about to get married? " The Old Mr. Zhao was shocked, "You're still wearing patched up clothes, in this weather, you don't even have a jacket on you! Look at what color your lips have frozen!"
