In fact, it was also because Zoe had been busy for such a long time, and she finally finished all the things in the past two days. Her tense nerves suddenly became soft.
Coincidentally, it snowed yesterday. After dinner, Zoe took Henry to have a walk in the yard. The cold wind blew for a while, and then she got sick.
Zoe knew it was her fault, so she didn’t dare to say anything more.
After the doctor came in with the medicine, she took it obediently.
Her delicate and vigorous face now became pale. Henry knew she was not feeling well, so he didn’t say anything.
He told her to have a good rest at home and told
Mrs. Dottie to take good care of her before he went out.
Zoe lay at home in a daze for half a day. It was not until noon that she felt better. However, there was a loud noise downstairs.
Zoe was a little surprised.
As Henry’s personal residence in Julio, the Han Mansion had seldom been visited by outsiders except for the servants.
And the servants knew that she liked a quiet environment, so they would not make such a loud noise.
Who was coming?
When she was about to get up, she saw Mrs. Dottie running in a hurry.
“Madam, something bad happened.”
Zoe frowned and asked, “What happened? Why is it so noisy downstairs?”
Mrs. Dottie looked embarrassed. She said, “It’s Mr. Han’s aunt.”
Zoe was stunned.
She knew that Henru had an aunt called Faye Han.
It was said that Henry’s parents died at an early age in an accident. It was this aunt who brought him up.
Normally, Henry bshould be very close to such a person. But for some reason, she had never heard Henry mention his aunt to her since the two of them had been together for so long.
Even this aunt’s existence was known to Zoe by accident from somewhere else.
As Zoe changed her clothes, she asked, “What’s wrong with her coming here? You look as if you are facing a formidable enemy.”
Mrs. Dottie was indeed a little nervous.
“You don’t know. It’s hard to get well with her. Every time she comes here, she will find excuses to scold us. For the sake of her kindness to Mr. Han, we don’t dare to say anything, but we also don’t dare to ignore her orders.”
Zoe nodded and said nothing.
After changing her clothes, when she was about to go downstairs, she heard a woman shouting and cursing.
“All of you are so stupid. Do you always serve your young master such a kind of tea? Is it because he treated you too well that you forget the rules?”
Zoe frowned and walked down.
In the living room, a middle-aged woman in white was scolding several servants.
On the floor in front of her, there was a broken porcelain teapot. The tea was scattered all over
the ground, in a mess.
The servants lowered their heads and didn’t dare to speak. A few steps away from the door, there was another person standing.
Zoe raised her eyebrows in surprise.
“What happened?”
She walked slowly down. When the servants heard her voice, they immediately looked at her excitedly as if they had seen a savior.
The woman standing in the living room also noticed Zoe.
She frowned and asked unhappily, “Who are you?”Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Mrs. Dottie hurriedly explained, “Madam, this is Mrs. Han.”
Hearing this, Faye became even more displeased. She frowned and looked at Zoe inquisitively and vigilantly.
Zoe smiled and stretched out her hand gracefully.
“Hello, you can call me Zoe, if you don’t mind.”
Unexpectedly, the woman sneered.
“It turns out that you are the b*tch that Henry lives with here. I thought you were something great, but it seems that you are just so so! Look at you! What are you wearing? Is it junk you picked up from the stall? The beggar on the roadside is better dressed than you!”
Zoe was wearing a home dress at home. When she heard that a visitor had come, she changed into a new one casually.
In fact, it wasn’t a bad dress. Henry always bought good dresses for her in this aspect. The cloakroom at home was almost as big as the area of three bedrooms in other families, but she liked wearing comfortable clothes at home.
All the clothes in the bedroom were her favorite casual clothes, which were not particularly cheap. A set of clothes cost hundreds. The fabric was comfortable and the style was simple. She liked it very much.
But in Faye’s eyes, they were nothing but cheap goods that couldn’t even compare to a beggar’s clothes.
Zoe smiled and didn’t want to explain anything. After all, this woman was Henry’s aunt. As Henry’s wife, she was more or less unwilling to have a conflict with Henry’s aunt.
Seeing that Zoe didn’t say anything, Faye thought this girl was scared, so she sneered again.
“I heard that you have been with Henry for a period of time, right? It’s not easy for you. You are from an unknown family. You must have made a lot of effort to get close to Henry!
However, there are always some things that people like you can’t get. Selena, do you think so?”
Faye turned to Selena Kawn who was standing not far away and said.
Holding her handbag, Selena walked up to Faye with a gentle smile and said, “Henry, you are joking again.”
Her voice was extremely pleasant to hear. She looked gentle and demure, and the smile on her face was always gentle and polite, which made people involuntarily have a good impression of her.
Especially when she stood beside the arrogant Faye, her gentle temperament became more outstanding, soft and quiet.
Faye pursed her lips unhappily. “You are too reserved. You will never say out what you are thinking. If it weren’t for this, you would have been with Henry long ago. There would be no chance for those little b*tches outside.”
Everyone knew who she was referring to.
Some of them couldn’t help feeling a little angry. After all, Zoe and Henry were legally married. Zoe was always good to the servants and never treated them harshly. If the servants had any request, she would also help. Everyone was convinced by Zoe.
Everyone would feel uncomfortable if they heard someone was cursing Zoe like this.
However, Zoe just smiled lightly, as if she hadn’t heard anything. She asked the servant to clean the residue on the ground and bring cups of tea here.
“I didn’t know you and Miss Kawn would come here. I’m sorry for my neglect! Henry doesn’t like tea at home, so the tea you drank just now is usually made by me to kill time. Try this one, please.”
She said and poured two cups of tea for each of them.
Faye spoke so much for a long time, but Zoe didn’t respond at all. It was like a fist hitting soft cotton, which made her a little boring.
Faye snorted, picked up the cup of tea and took a sip.
The next second, she screamed and the teacup in her hand flew towards Zoe.
“B*stard! Are you trying to scald me by giving me such hot tea?”
