Huh? This person looks familiar! Where have I seen him before? Tie Hailan thought for a long while, then suddenly slapped her forehead. This person’s surname was Zhao. He Su referred to her as Aunt Zhao. Originally, Tie Hailan had passed through a desolate area and there she met He Su. It was also after that, He Su contracted a strange disease causing repeated skin ulcerations. Aunt Zhao used to be a servant at He Mansion, having worked there for many years. But initially, somehow, there was a rift between He Su and Aunt Zhao. Aunt Zhao didn’t know that someone was secretly spying on her. She pulled out a key, unlocked the door, and then, carrying a red food box, walked inside. "What are you doing here again! Are you wishing to see me dead?" He Su’s accusatory voice came from inside the room, speaking in a sarcastic tone, vastly different from the gentle and graceful demeanor Tie Hailan remembered. Aunt Zhao set the food box on the Eight Immortals Table. "Owner, why must you do this?" He Su sneered, "How I manage things is not up to you to direct! After all, even if you come into power, it doesn’t change one fact. You are a servant, before Jade returned, you served at my He Mansion, and it was merely your duty to do well in your role, yet you presumptuously meddled in the master’s affairs! You’ve overstepped your bounds!" "And after Jade returned, you betrayed your master for personal gain. Even now, how can you have the face to stand before me?" He Su’s words were sharp and resounding, and Aunt Zhao clenched her fists, trying to restrain herself. "Owner, self-awareness is crucial. Times change, people aim high and water flows low, it’s the natural order of things! Moreover, you despised me first. After Consort Pei returned, I, seeking a better future, aligned myself with Consort Pei, was there any wrong in that?" He Su scoffed: "A petty person remains a petty person! Despicable and shameless, no matter how nicely you phrase your lies, they can’t conceal the rot at your core!" Aunt Zhao seemed provoked, "Yes, I am a petty person! But at least I’m straightforward and open about it! And you? Owner, I watched you grow up, how could I not know your true nature?" He Su was impatient, while Aunt Zhao’s expression carried a slight contempt. "Back then, the actor from Sky Blue Building, Phoenix Blood, who already had a wife, yet you clung to him obsessively. To this day, I still don’t understand what you were really thinking, Owner." "I advised you many times, did you ever listen? After so many years of loyalty between us as master and servant, to think that at the end, I would matter less to you than a man! Especially when that man’s heart was never with you, yet you redirected your anger towards me! If I hadn’t aligned myself with Consort Pei back then, what could I have done? Your resentment left me no choice, you forced me to turn to Consort Pei!" He Su was too angry to speak, "Get out! I don’t want to see you!" This person was utterly shameless, how could she blame her, how dare she? A servant, daring to accuse her? Aunt Zhao laughed, "The owner always acts this way, portraying herself as lofty, weak, and helpless. Whose sympathy are you trying to gain, and who do you want to feel pity for you? You know how foul your heart is, don’t you? Just like when you mistakenly thought Consort Pei was the youth who once saved you on the mountain!"
