Chapter 1452: Did You Just Call Lei Hu "Brother Lei"?

"Let me first..." Zhi’er hesitated for a moment, "Let me first ask where Brother Fu Ce went?"

Cai Ying was taken aback, then smiled: "Madam, are you asking about the master? The master left early in the morning. I heard he went to buy something for Madam."

"What was he buying?"

"This, the maid doesn’t know. Brother Lei didn’t say in detail."

Zhi’er blinked her long eyelashes and could only respond with an "oh".

She said, "Then help me with my hair and wash up first."

"Okay." Cai Ying stepped forward happily.

She had an even more lively personality than Qingmei. Seeing that Zhi’er wasn’t pretentious, Cai Ying chatted away like a talking, singing bird.

"Madam, your hair is really black and beautiful. If you applied a little balm every day, it would be even softer."

Zhi’er was still thinking about last night’s events and absent-mindedly replied with a "hmm".

Cai Ying continued, "Madam, you are truly beautiful. I’ve seen many boudoir ladies’ looks, and none compare to Madam’s."

First, Zhi’er responded with a "hmm", but suddenly she reacted and turned her head to look at Cai Ying.

"What did you call me?"

"Madam!"

Zhi’er widened her beautiful eyes: "Who told you that?!"

Cai Ying felt innocent: "It’s... it’s Brother Lei, why, Madam, did I address you wrong?"

Brought here, Zhi’er was the only woman in the whole mansion, so it was impossible to address the wrong person.

Cai Ying felt a bit apprehensive, and her smile disappeared.

Zhi’er sighed: "There seems to be a misunderstanding. Brother Fu Ce and I are not yet a couple..."

Cai Ying was a bit confused, but she quickly smiled again.

"The maid doesn’t think about such things, only knows that Brother Lei said to serve you well."

Zhi’er knew this must be Feng Fuce’s intention.

Because it was inconvenient for her to dress herself that day, they specifically found someone to attend to her.

Zhi’er nodded slightly and then turned around, letting Cai Ying continue to comb her hair.

In the meantime, she looked at Cai Ying’s cheerful face through the mirror.

"Did you just call Lei Hu, Brother Lei? Have you known him for a long time?"

Cai Ying shook her head: "No, Brother Lei is the maid’s benefactor. It’s because of him that I have a place to continue working."

Zhi’er was surprised: "Benefactor?"

Cai Ying saw that Zhi’er didn’t know, so she took the initiative to explain: "The maid originally served as a maid in the governor’s mansion."

"Before, I was always by the Second Aunt’s side, but this time, the Second Aunt angered the Madam, and all her house servants were sold."

"The maid was one of them. Yesterday, the broker drove me away, intending to sell me to a brothel. Brother Lei, who passed by, rescued me after asking about the situation and then bought me."

Zhi’er slightly narrowed her eyes in thought: "The governor’s mansion... Could it be that the concubine you served is the one who stole the Madam’s child?"

Cai Ying was a bit surprised: "You’ve heard about it too?"

She hurriedly knelt down: "Madam, the maid knows nothing of this matter. Although I was a first-class maid in the Second Aunt’s room when at the governor’s mansion, my responsibilities were with hair and washing."

"I never gained the Second Aunt’s absolute trust. Being sold this time was an innocent implication. I had no knowledge of the Second Aunt’s affair of stealing the young master!"

Zhi’er saw her so tense, as if afraid of being misunderstood.

She quickly reached out her hand: "Cai Ying, you may rise. I only heard a few words about it when I entered the city, not to make it difficult for you."
