The prince dotes on his wife: a reborn peasant woman is not easy to mess with

Mrs. Zhao Wu sighed lightly, fearing that Archie would think too much if she said anything more, so she patted him patiently and went to have dinner.

"Come, let's eat first."

Both of them fell silent. After a while, it was completely dark. The maids who lived with them came back one after another. Zhao Wu was about to separate from Archi. She was a little worried, but there was nothing she could do.

After a night of tossing and turning, Zhao Wu finally fell asleep. She got up early in the morning and hurriedly went back to the work she had ordered yesterday but had not yet finished.

It was a remote courtyard that had not been opened for who knows how many years. The ground was covered with a thick layer of ash. As soon as she took the broom, Zhao Wu herself choked a few times on the raised ash, so she had to go fetch some water. Come on, it's easy to sweep them into a pile.

After finally cleaning up, it was almost noon again. Mrs. Zhao Wu was so tired that she was sweating profusely. She was panting and wiping her forehead, thinking that it was time to go get lunch. As she was leaving, she thought again that she didn't know what Zhou Xiaoyuan was doing now.

The thought just passed by for a moment, and Zhao Wu quickly comforted herself that Xiaoyuan's husband was a prince and a prince.

Xiaoyuan and Nini have been living in the Zhao family for so many years. His Highness will definitely treat her well, so why should she worry?

Thinking like this, Mrs. Zhao Wu felt relieved.

Just after taking two steps, I heard several female voices gathering together and talking quietly around the corner.

They were separated by a wall, and Zhao Wu didn't notice it at first. It wasn't until a sharp voice mentioned her name that Zhao Wu suddenly paused and stopped there not knowing whether to step forward.

But soon Zhao Wu knew the result, because after the man finished speaking, there were several sneers from the side.

It sounded like they were all women. After one of them laughed, he said directly: "

Where did you deceive that country boy again? I just went to the kitchen to take a look, and she didn’t even receive lunch. I’m afraid she wasn’t working seriously! "

The female voice who was the first to speak also spoke up after hearing this, and said proudly: "It's the unoccupied yard on the left. It has at least several layers of dust. Aren't the sisters not willing to go there? Of course I'll leave it to her." ."

Zhao Wu's face turned pale and she was a little in disbelief.

However, this was not over yet. The group of people actually started discussing what tasks they should arrange after she finished cleaning the yard. It seemed that they did not want to give her any time to rest.

It was also at this time that Zhao Wu noticed that the voice sounded familiar, and seemed to be the maid next to Mrs. Su.

Thinking about it, Mrs. Zhao Wu couldn't help but frown, thinking that the maids around Mrs. Su had always been polite and courteous, how could she do such a thing behind her back? I was afraid that I had heard wrongly, or else I would have gone over and interrupted, saving them from saying something weird again.

Zhao Wu didn't think of anything at this time. She only thought that she had done something wrong, which made others gather to discuss and exclude her.

Thinking about what Zhou Xiaoyuan had said, she was summoning up the courage to stand up, but she heard their next words mention Zhou Xiaoyuan again.

"——Speaking of which, what if Mrs. Su finds out that we bully her like this? And what about the girl who lives in Prince Rong's Mansion? I thought she was so arrogant before that even Mrs. Su and the eldest lady dared to fight against each other. "

As soon as she said this, Zhao Wu stopped silently again, realizing that she might not be representing herself alone when she went out now.

Even though Zhou Xiaoyuan said that she could do as she pleased, but...

After all, she is in King Rong now

In the palace, water far away cannot cure the fire nearby. Even if Zhao Wu uses her name to scold these people, in the end, she may only harm Zhou Xiaoyuan who is far away in Prince Rong's palace.

Thinking about it, Mrs. Zhao Wu hesitated. She closed her eyes and felt that since she couldn't do anything, she might as well stop listening.

It's better to just go and listen to them arrange it like this.

After thinking about it, Zhao Wu really turned around and was about to leave when a sentence came from behind her:

"How can that be possible? What if that woman is lucky enough to be able to reach Prince Rong? I have heard that no matter what, her background is beyond the reach of Princess Rong. So what if she enters Prince Rong's palace? You and I are just concubines, if we want to take revenge, we have to look at our status!"

The man's condescending tone made Zhao Wu feel frightened. The thoughts that were already worrying Zhou Xiaoyuan became more and more apparent, making her uneasy for a while and unable to take a step forward.

At this time, someone else asked Mrs. Su what to say. She was still the same person as before, still maintaining the same complacent tone.

Some even spoke with great confidence, saying:

"Madam? Madam has known about this for a long time. This is in the Su Mansion. If madam wants to take care of it, can she not control it? Madam doesn't like them at all, especially if you look at the woman who entered Prince Rong's Mansion and there is no news yet. , I don’t need to say more about what this means, right?”

After the man finished speaking, there was a burst of support from the side. He kept saying that this girl had a lively mind, saying that it was no wonder the lady looked at her again. After saying this, he continued to sneer at the woman who entered Prince Rong's palace as a concubine.

Even though Zhou Xiaoyuan's name was not mentioned, listening to this

How could Zhao Wu not guess who it was?

The word "concubine" cut into her heart like a knife. Mrs. Zhao Wu was worried now, very worried.

She felt even more regretful when she thought about what Zhou Xiaoyuan had said to her before.

I originally thought that after being separated for several years, the second brother of the Zhao family would treat Zhou Xiaoyuan better when he came back, but I didn't expect that this man would demote his wife as a concubine after getting rich. What he did was nothing but unkind and unjust!

If I had known this... If I had known this, I should not have persuaded Xiaoyuan to accept him. It was because I overestimated the love between husband and wife.

I think there are really men in the world who will not abandon their wives who are in trouble.

Thinking about this, Mrs. Zhao Wu became more and more anxious, stretching her ears to hear more of the gossip discussions among the maids.

I just hope that one of the maids can get some definite information, even if it's about Nini, so that even if I have to leave, I can go to Prince Rong's Mansion to bring them back.

Although Zhao Wu always mentioned the words prosperity and wealth when persuading Zhou Xiaoyuan.

But it’s funny, she didn’t go there for glory and wealth from the beginning. She just felt that Zhou Xiaoyuan’s mother and daughter, orphans and widowers, stayed with her and the divorced woman, and there was another Archie behind them... For all this, she had always been afraid that Zhou Xiaoyuan would be discussed.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be better if Zhao Wu said from the beginning that she wanted to follow Zhou Xiaoyuan and didn't want to be separated? With Zhou Xiaoyuan's temperament, it is almost impossible for her not to take Zhao Wu with her.

But she didn't, so Zhao Wu was really thinking about Zhou Xiaoyuan and wanted her to live a better life.

But she never thought that her husband, who finally came back, would treat Zhou Xiaoyuan like this. So it would be better not to go back at all. Being a widow is worse than a concubine's reputation.

it is good.

Zhao Wu was thinking wildly, but someone on the other end said it was time to eat, and the birds and animals suddenly dispersed.
