Chapter 1424: Green Tea Auntie Becomes a Favorite with Her Beauty (3)

Mr. Zhao was also woken up and sat up impatiently.

Dai Ke sat on the edge of the bed, pretending to have just woken up and walked over to open the door.

An elderly maid was standing outside the door. Seeing the marks of pleasure on Dai Ke's exposed neck, she immediately shouted angrily, "Do you still have manners? Don't you know what time it is? Why don't you go over and pay your respects to the mistress?"

"What's the noise?"

Hearing the scolding, Nanny Li trembled in fear.

Usually, Master Zhao was very busy. Even if he was having a fight with some concubine, he would get up early to deal with business. Thinking that Master Zhao was not around, Nanny Li dared to scold Dai Ke loudly.

"Master~" Dai Ke called out in a tender voice. Master Zhao seemed to be bewitched and his eyes kept drifting towards Dai Ke.

Thinking of the scene last night, Mr. Zhao waved his hand and said, "Ke'er is tired, so there is no need to pay respects today."

Dai Ke looked at Master Zhao with happy eyes: "Master, you are so good to me."

"But..." Master Zhao was enjoying Dai Ke's admiring eyes, and Dai Ke changed the subject, "If I don't meet the mistress, people will say that I have no manners, and that you favor your concubine over your wife. I don't want people to gossip about you, Master."

Nanny Li rolled her eyes and thought, doesn't Mr. Zhao gossip enough?

Mr. Zhao was busy with official business every day, and there were frequent troubles in the mansion. It was the first time he met someone as sensible as Dai Ke, and Mr. Zhao was very pleased.

"It's just that I missed the greetings and the tea. It's not a big deal. You were tired last night, so just have a good rest in your room."

Dai Ke picked up the handkerchief and wiped away the non-existent tears: "I was helpless in the Dai Mansion before. It is a great honor to meet such a considerate master."

"But Master is so considerate, I can't lose my manners and embarrass him. If Master is worried about my health, just send someone to follow me."

She had to meet the people on the original owner's revenge list, otherwise if she kept hiding in the room, she would probably never be able to complete the mission in this lifetime.

And now, taking advantage of Mr. Zhao's favor, that group of people dare not be too presumptuous.

If they dragged on and waited until Mr. Zhao's novelty wore off, they would probably be doubly troubled.

Dai Ke knew the rules, which made Master Zhao very satisfied: "Rongsheng, follow Ke'er to the main courtyard, and don't let Ke'er be bullied."

It seems that Mr. Zhao is also aware of the chaos in the backyard, and perhaps he can take advantage of it.

"Thank you for your love, sir."

The main courtyard lobby.

Almost everyone in the Zhao Mansion was here, and the huge front hall seemed crowded.

The Seventh Aunt glanced at the Third Aunt next to her, and the Third Aunt said, "Madam, this Seventeenth Aunt is too rude. She actually made us wait for her for half an hour."

Someone echoed: "Yes, Aunt Seventeen obviously doesn't take you, the mistress, seriously."

"She is late today, and she will dare to ride on your head and act wildly tomorrow. Madam, you must punish her severely."

The lady, dressed in rich clothes, sat in the main seat.

She called everyone here today just to use the numbers to intimidate Dai Ke.

She had not intended to lecture her verbally, but the cacophony of complaints completely irritated her.

If she didn't punish Dai Ke now, the other concubines would laugh at her for having no dignity.

Madam Zhao looked serious and shouted coldly, "Where is Madam Li? Why hasn't she arrived yet?"

"Seventeenth Aunt is here——"

Following the call from the servant at the door, everyone turned their eyes to the door.

Dai Ke, wearing a smoky purple gauze long dress, walked towards her slowly, the soft hem of her skirt swaying with her steps.

The originally fair skin looks more translucent against the purple background, and the pure temperament also adds a bit of charm.

She walked over with a smile on her face, and immediately caught the attention of all the men and women in the audience, whose eyes were fixed on her every frown and smile.

The originally solemn and depressing front hall became filled with spring breeze with her arrival. Dai Ke stepped forward and bowed politely: "I, Dai, pay my respects to Madam."

As the light music became more and more perceptible, everyone felt as if they heard the melodious sound of a musical instrument, and their fixed gazes finally turned back.

All the concubines, like Madam Zhao, had almost the same hostile looks in their eyes.

Madam Zhao muttered to herself, "You are such a foxy girl," and snorted, "You were supposed to pay your respects at noon, but you made so many people wait for you for half an hour. Seventeenth Aunt is really arrogant!"

Dai Ke did not go out of her way to cover up the marks on her neck. Her eyebrows drooped in sorrow, and she acted innocently: "I did not delay on purpose. It was really because the master was so brave yesterday that I got up a little late."

When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she almost crushed the armrest.

"What an excuse! Who here hasn't been favored? But who is as unruly as you? I think you must be punished according to the family rules today, so that you will remember this lesson!"

Hearing this, Dai Ke's tears welled up in his eyes, and his expression of wanting to cry but not wanting to was heartbreaking: "If Madam wants to punish me, I will naturally be unable to resist, but I am really wronged."

Dai Ke held the handkerchief against his lips and sobbed.

Zhao Zihuo, the eldest son who was standing next to Madam Zhao, felt his heart being torn apart when he saw Dai Ke's sad look.

"Mother, Aunt Seventeen has just arrived at the mansion, so it is inevitable that she may be neglected. If you give her a chance, it will also show that you are generous."

Dai Ke raised her watery eyes and looked at Zhao Zihuo with gratitude, while Zhao Zihuo turned his face away shyly.

Seeing her son defending this vixen, Mrs. Zhao was furious, but she couldn't scold her son in public, so she could only vent her anger on Dai Ke.

"If we let her go, won't all the servants follow suit in the future? Will there still be any rules in the mansion by then?"

As she spoke, Madam Zhao shouted, "Someone, please enforce the family law!"

As soon as Mrs. Zhao finished speaking, Rongsheng, who was waiting outside, walked in and saluted, saying, "Madam, what the eldest young master said makes sense." Rongsheng seemed to be agreeing with Zhao Zihuo's words, but in fact he was conveying Mr. Zhao's intentions to the people present.

After all, Rongsheng is a popular figure around Master Zhao, and Rongsheng never leaves Master Zhao's side on weekdays.

Today he actually followed Dai Ke here. It was obvious that Master Zhao had given the order to protect Dai Ke.

If Mrs. Zhao continues to stick to the family rules, she would be slapping Mr. Zhao in the face.

Those who can survive in this big family and sit here are all smart people and naturally understand what it means.

Those aunts couldn't help but feel more hostile towards Dai Ke.

Seventh Aunt looked at Madam Zhao's expression, then glanced at the tea the maid was holding, and reminded: "Madam Zhao is usually kind, how could she really punish Seventeenth Aunt? She just wanted to scare her and let her remember the rules."

"I think it's getting late. Seventeenth Aunt, please serve tea first." Mrs. Zhao needed a way out, and Seventh Aunt gave her one.

By the way, under the pretext of serving tea, he let Mrs. Zhao vent her anger and also helped her to calm down Dai Ke's temper.

Mrs. Zhao's expression improved a little: "I'll give you a chance today. If you do it again next time, no one's pleas will be of any use."

"Thank you, ma'am, for your grace."
