"Have you heard? I'm afraid this new Miss Duan is going to be the next Mistress of the Zhao Family!"
The news about the change of power in the house always spread quickly in the place where the servants gathered.
Before, it was about Mrs. Duan entering the family. Today, it was about the news that her niece was going to marry into the Zhao Family.
Lin Mengya found a good seat and listened to the news with great interest while holding a handful of dried fruits given to her by the kitchen lady.
"Really? How old is Master Zifei? "
The one who asked the question was obviously an honest man with little imagination.
As expected, as soon as he said it, he was laughed at by others.
"How old? He will be eighteen years old next year! He is already an adult. Moreover, it seems that he will be recognized soon. It is the right time to set up a marriage now. "
Lin Mengya couldn't help but ponder.
Seventeen years old. Perhaps in modern society, he was still a teenager who had not yet grown up.
But here, it was enough for him to be the pillar of the family.
Based on this time, she went back a few times.
When Aunt Fang remarried, Huo Xiao was only a teenager of twelve or thirteen years old.
This year, he was only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.
In other words, if Zhao Zifei was really Elder Zhao's son, then Elder Zhao and Mrs. Duan had been together before he made his fortune.
But she remembered it clearly.
Aunt Fang's remarriage was the result of the conspiracy between the Fang Family and the Zhao Family.
In other words, Elder Zhao had a certain status in the Zhao Family at that time, but he was definitely not as important as he was now.
But Mrs. Duan was not an ordinary woman.
If she had had the foresight to choose Elder Zhao, this potential stock, how could she have allowed him to marry another woman? And it had never happened for so many years.
It was barely reasonable to say that she was arrogant and refused to share a husband with others.
But judging from her behavior now, she didn't seem to be that strong-willed.
What was more, she had been in touch with Old Grandma secretly all these years.
All these things showed that Mrs. Duan was a scheming and calculative person.
It seemed that Mrs. Duan also hid a lot of secrets!
Although the discussion over there was not loud, the content had been fully cultivated by the old maids and maidservants, and no one knew which way it had been distorted.
Lin Mengya put the half-eaten dried fruit into the secret pocket in front of her chest. She clapped her hands and was ready to leave.
She had heard everything she needed to hear, and the rest was just everyone's guesses. She really couldn't take it seriously.
However, he didn't expect to see Zhao Zifei walking towards him as soon as he left the kitchen.
Now, he had the air of a Young Master of the Zhao Family, and there were two servants serving him at all times.
It was said that Madam Dowager had sent several capable old maids and maids to take good care of her hard-earned grandson.
No one knew if it was because he really cared about his grandson or if he just wanted to control the next successor of the Zhao Family.
She immediately stood by the roadside and lowered her head, pretending to be a roadside ornament.
Just as he heard the footsteps leave, he heaved a sigh of relief. However, the three of them turned back.
"What's your name? Why do I feel that you look familiar? "
The teenager's voice already had the basic tone of a low voice, but it was very fluttering. It was not magnetic, but it was easy to make people feel good.
Lin Mengya didn't raise her head, but lowered it a little more.
It made people feel that she was afraid.
Zhao Zifei seemed to be very surprised by her reaction.
He softened his tone and said patiently, "Why are you afraid of me? I remember. Are you the mute slave newly promoted by my mother? I'm being rude. What are you doing here? Does my mother have any orders? "
Lin Mengya shook her head.
She thought that she really had no time to chat with this young master here.
But somehow, Zhao Zifei seemed to be in the mood to chat.
Although he didn't say anything useful, he just refused to leave and refused to let her go.
"Speaking of which, I think your temper is very good."
Zhao Zifei smiled and said, "If only the people in my courtyard could be as quiet as you every day, that would be great."
Lin Mengya lowered her head so low that her neck was about to break.
Wasn't it easy to be quiet? She could find a mass grave to stay, and there would be nothing but chilly wind all day long.
But Zhao Zifei began to laugh at himself at this moment.
"The people of the Zhao family probably think that I'm lucky? I've become the young master of the Zhao family overnight. But if I have a choice, I'd rather stay with my mother in our small house for the rest of my life. "
Then, he let out a deep sigh.
Lin Mengya couldn't help it. She raised her head and moved her neck a little.
If it went on like this, she would definitely get spondylosis.
But Zhao Zifei didn't expect that when he saw her movements, he was delighted.
He naturally knew that no maidservant would be able to endure his words.
He also took this opportunity to see the appearance of this mute girl clearly.
Her facial features could be considered delicate, and her skin was also white and tender.
It was good that she couldn't speak, and it could also avoid a lot of future troubles.
Thinking of this, he was very satisfied with the goal in front of him.
"Sorry, I shouldn't have said this. But when I saw you, I didn't know what was wrong with me. I just wanted to talk to you so that I could feel better. "
Lin Mengya already wanted to roll her eyes.
He knew that he shouldn't say it, but he still said it. Was he showing off to her that he could speak well?
Zhao Zifei looked at her disapproving look, and the expression on his face was a little lonely.
"It's said that it's easy to get a thousand gold, but hard to find a bosom friend. I didn't expect that in this house, my bosom friend is actually a little mute girl. "
Don't! Please don't!
When Lin Mengya heard what he said, she felt a headache.
If he caught her in the future and talked nonsense like this, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to control herself and twist this guy's head off.
She quickly shook her head and tried to use her eyes to communicate with the other party.
Forget about bosom friend. Isn't it good for us to be strangers?
Zhao Zifei misunderstood the message in her eyes and said with some excitement, "No, I don't think that your identity is lowly! On the contrary, I think that with our identities, being able to become bosom friends is also a kind of great fate. Mute slave, we can't be limited by the difference in identity. In my heart, you are my bosom friend! "
Before he finished speaking, he actually grabbed Lin Mengya's hand excitedly.
Her reaction was also fast, and she immediately took a step back.
It was one thing to talk, but why did he take action?
But Zhao Zifei thought that she was just too shy, and there was a faint smile on his face.
"It's okay. In fact, I think that the most important thing for two people to communicate is that their hearts and minds are compatible. Identity, status, those are not important. "
Lin Mengya felt that it was not possible.
At least, people like Zhao Zifei were not worthy of making friends with her.
What's more, she didn't think that he was so "approachable" that he would make friends with anyone he caught.
Oh, they were just big pig trotters who wanted to take advantage of her.
Lin Mengya didn't want to continue to waste time with him.
This guy was too talkative, and he was restless. He still wanted to touch her.
Nodding her head, she walked away quickly.
She had to leave this place as soon as possible, and she had to avoid this talkative childe in the future.
Otherwise, how could she have peace?
Zhao Zifei watched her back disappear out of the corridor.
The two trusted servants next to him had been very quiet.
It wasn't until a certain person who was spying on everything in the dark left that they walked behind Zhao Zifei.
"Childe, Miss Duan's people have also left."
"Oh, I think this cousin of mine must have gone to my mother to complain about me."
The so-called deep love, elegance, and easygoing all disappeared.
Now, there was only shrewd calculation and indifference on Zhao Zifei's cold face.
He didn't care about the mute girl at all, nor did he care about Duan Ruxuan's people.
However, he would absolutely not allow his life to be firmly controlled by the two women of the Duan Clan.
"Childe, even if Miss Duan really marries you, she will not be a hindrance to you. What's more, if you fall out with Madam now, I'm afraid Madam will do something bad to you. "
His servant was also thinking for his own good.
But it was this sentence that ignited Zhao Zifei's anger.
He gripped his sleeves tightly, and the veins on his forehead were already showing.
"The women of the Duan family are not so simple. My mother has painstakingly planned and secretly endured for fifteen years in exchange for today's glory. Duan Ruxuan, that woman, has suffered until the age of eighteen and still hasn't married. Do you think they will let me go easily? "
As the son of Madam Duan, he knew his mother's character best.
But he would never allow his future wife to be as terrible as a poisonous scorpion.
Especially, she could bear for so long.
Moreover, his mother had many secrets that even he didn't know.
"Young master, do you like the mute slave?" The servant asked again.
This time, Zhao Zifei just smiled coldly.
"Her? She is just a tool I used to get rid of Duan Ruxuan. You two keep a close eye on her. If my mother or Duan Ruxuan's people come to make things difficult for her, you just need to help her moderately. "
Both of them nodded to show that they understood.
Zhao Zifei narrowed his eyes.
He knew that the more he showed his intention to "care" about the mute slave, the more his mother and Duan Ruxuan would deal with him.
He didn't care about the life and death of a little mute slave.
What he cared about was whether he could strengthen his strength as soon as possible in the tug-of-war with his mother, so that he could really control his life.
At this moment, Lin Mengya, who almost trotted all the way back, only felt that the goosebumps all over her body were just a little better.
But she didn't know if she didn't look at the almanac when she went out today.
She thought it was bad enough that she met Zhao Zifei. Just at the door of the small courtyard where Long Tianhao was settled, she met the "silly and sweet" Miss Duan Ruxuan.
"Benefactor, I know that no matter what I do, I can't repay you for saving my life. But Ruxuan's marriage has never been up to him. Please allow me to compensate you in other ways. "
