Q11 Chapter 27
Chapter 27 Heart like a Spirit Fox

After quickly changing her clothes, she prepared to depart quietly. But suddenly, noises could be heard from the yard. She couldn't help but stop what she was doing with her brow raised.

   Bang Bang someone knocked on her door. Huan'er quietly cried from outside the room, "Xing'er, good news ah!"

   Huan'er ran in with his face all excited and smiled, "Xing'er, there is good news, do you want to hear it?"

  Sitting on her chair, she glanced at him with a funny look as she poured a cup of tea. She remained dignified, sipping it, "Talk."

   "Xing'er!" A little maid servant following behind came with a pout. "In the end, do you want to hear it or not? I can't tell from your expression at all."

   She just smiled at that, "If you want to say, just say. I may not want to hear it though."

   "Well, I do not care about you, but this is really good news ah." Huan Er laughed: "That singing girl was having an illicit affair with that Zhu Guanjia in the store house. They were caught by 7th miss and 3rd madam and Young master were shocked. Then they drowned Lixiang in a well and had Zhu Guanjia receive 30 boards. How is that? Good news, right?"

  Continuing to sip her tea and sitting in her chair, she looked centuries old, calm, her eyes were black like ink as she slowly narrowed them. All emotion and wit were hidden deep in her, before nodding : "It is good news."

   The little maidservant angrily spoke, " It is that Zhu Shun, ordinarily he is a dog who threatens based on the master's power. He always bullies people, which slaves haven't suffered from his nonsense, even those Jing children were delivered to that Laotaiye. He can't escape punishment, now he is beaten violently, threshing on the floor. This could be considered to be the Heavens opening one's eyes, but it still leaves a foul odor in our hearts.

   Chu Qiao's facial expression did not change after that spill, " With Lixiang and Zhu Guanjia having an illicit affair, for such a crime, to only get away with 30 boards. It's just child's play."

   "Who says it isn't?" Huan'er stated, "7th lady went to the 4th Young Master with her grievances, it's a pity that our masters are not always willing to take care of these matters. The Big Madam and Master just let the Oldest Young Master decide. Zhu Shun is his people, so ...yeah."

   Chu Qiao acquiesced and slowly spoke, "Well, now I know. Huan'er, thank you for telling me."

  Huan'er saw there was something wrong on the child's face. He couldn't help but slow down his speaking, slightly restless, "Xing'er, are you not comfortable, ah? Should I go to find a doctor?"

   "No," Chu Qiao faintly smiled to comfort him, "I just have to rest, then I will be alright."

   "Em," Huan'er nodded his head and left the room. Just as the door closed, her face sunk.

   'So this still did not put him down?'

Then, she could only get rid of him personally, Chu Qiao slowly bit her lips, sitting in her chair.    It seemed that all her plans needed to be redone.

   Zhu Shun's courtyard door was securely closed. But outside the fu from time to time, you could still hear pig-like screams. People passed by with their heads down, no one dared to wait and watch even though nobody could hide the joy from their expressions due to his suffering. They were more happy than when they received their New Year's pay.
