Chapter 2679
"Your aunt broke her leg, and her family didn't know it at all. She was taken back and taken care of by a kind-hearted family nearby. Your aunt asked someone from that family to go and find Zhou Wang in Zhoujiacun. Zhou Wang
Then I hurried over there to bring your aunt back."
"Hey, what a crime!" Blacksmith Luo sighed, picked up the wine in the wine cup in front of him, and drank it all in one gulp.
The people at the table also fell into a brief silence because they didn't know what to say.
After a while, Wang Cuilian was the first to break the silence.
"Then, why didn't the Prince of Xiangyang give a reply to Zhou Xia?" the woman asked.
Blacksmith Luo shook his head, while Luo Fengtang remained silent.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and said: "Obviously, either the people from the Xiangyang Palace, including the old concubine of the Xiangyang Palace, don't want to talk to Zhou Xia anymore,"
"Either the old concubine is old and in poor health, and is unable to become the head of the Xiangyang Palace."
"And now Princess Xiangyang is not interested in Zhou Xia, so her filial piety period has passed and no one has come to pick her up."
"If you are really serious, during the two years between the mourning period, you should send someone to send something to express your condolences."
"I don't want to cut off the contact between Zhou Xia and the Prince of Xiangyang. Apparently, the Prince of Xiangyang has not contacted Zhou Xia for more than two years and nearly three years. This attitude is very obvious."
Yang Ruoqing finally analyzed.
Blacksmith Luo still sat silently, sighing.
Wang Cuilian nodded slightly and said: "I have the same view as Qing'er. This Xia'er, if she goes to the capital by herself and says something unpleasant, I'm afraid she will be in trouble!"
"Nonsense, nonsense!" Luo Fengtang suddenly slapped the table and said.
This sudden slam on the table startled Baobao and Dazhi.
Tuoba Xian, who had been silent and focused on taking care of the two children's meals, couldn't help but raise his head and glanced at Luo Fengtang a little unhappy.
"Fengtang, if you have something to say, please speak it carefully and don't scare the children," she said.
Luo Fengtang was stunned for a moment, then felt a little guilty and took his hand back.
Tuoba Xian withdrew her gaze and went to take care of the two children.
Here, Luo Fengtang glanced at Yang Ruoqing and said, "On this trip to the capital to deliver goods, I heard a piece of news related to the Prince of Xiangyang's Palace."
"What news?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Luo Fengtang said: "I also heard him mention it casually when chatting with the emperor."
"The emperor will not only use the batch of perfume we offer for himself, but also give some to the favored concubines in the palace."
"In addition, he will also give some rewards to the high-ranking old concubines, princesses and princesses among the royal family members."
"But this year, I heard him ordering the eunuchs around him, saying that the Prince of Xiangyang would only dispense with one bottle. The old concubine might not be able to survive..."
"At that time, I had other things on my mind and didn't pay much attention. Now when I mentioned Zhou Xia and the Prince of Xiangyang's Mansion, I suddenly remembered this."
"Perhaps the Prince of Xiangyang has not responded to Zhou Xia, and it probably has something to do with the fact that the old concubine is seriously ill!" he said.
Yang Ruoqing snapped her fingers, "That should be it!"
"Zhou Xia's life was saved by the old concubine. The old concubine kept Zhou Xia by her side for more than a year, trained her carefully, and even gave her the title of Princess Xuewu."
"It can be seen that Zhou Xia has won the heart of the old concubine, so the old concubine wants to arrange her marriage and let her be Qi Xingyun's concubine."
"It's a pity that Zhou Xia was unlucky. She was planning to get married, but her uncle left and she had to come back to observe mourning for two years."
"The so-called tea leaves are cold, and the only person in the Xiangyang Palace who protects her is the old concubine."
"The old concubine is in poor health, and now she is critically ill, and her speech is incoherent. How can she take care of Zhou Xia?"
"As for the other people in the Xiangyang Palace, they definitely don't like this wild girl who comes from a lowly background and was brought back from outside by an old concubine."
A family like that of a prince has countless concubines and princesses.
Those born from direct descendants, those born from concubines, there are a lot of them.
You, Zhou Xia, are you just a feather? Who admits it?
Isn't this very similar to Qing Princess who is next to Lafayette in "Huan Zhu Princess".
But Qing Gege was born far more noble than Zhou Xia. After being a loyal minister for three generations, you, Zhou Xia, are nothing in the eyes of those nobles!
"Zhou Xia probably doesn't know that the old concubine is dying, right?" Yang Ruoqing continued.
"Then she will really hit a wall during this trip to the capital. Maybe those who were jealous of her in the past will take the opportunity to take revenge," she said.
However, Zhou Xia brought all this on herself.
Luo Fengtang snorted: "If you throw away your own mother and brother, don't live a down-to-earth life, and have to climb high, you deserve to be slapped in the face and retaliated against!"
"Besides, a person who can even strangle his own child to death in front of his face is too cruel,"
"She should have been abandoned by God a long time ago, and she should not be blessed!"
Luo Fengtang said angrily and turned his gaze to Blacksmith Luo.
"Uncle, don't be soft-hearted about Zhou Xia. Whatever she does, everything about her has nothing to do with us!" He warned carefully.
Blacksmith Luo nodded, "I feel cold and cold about that girl Zhou Xia. I want to take care of her, but I treat her as my niece, and she doesn't treat me as her uncle."
"You are right. A person who can be cruel to his own flesh and blood is not worthy of being a human being!"
"I don't care about her business!"
"Right now, I mainly miss your aunt. She is a bit crooked, but she is different from Zhou Xia after all."
"Zhou Xia is crooked because she is being kind to herself. Your aunt is crooked because she loves her daughter Zhou Xia too much."
"This time, Zhou Xia ran away. I'm afraid your aunt's heart became cold and she broke her leg again."
"I heard Zhou Wang say that in the past few years, my mother and I have been sitting on nothing, and the family's money has been spent very much."
"When Zhou Xia ran away, she also took away the little money she had left at home."
"Your aunt saw that the doctor's money for medicine was all paid by Zhou Wang and Xiaohuan."
"I just want to discuss it with you. I want to buy something tomorrow and go over to see how your aunt is doing. After all, she is my biological sister, and now she is in this situation..."
Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing exchanged glances, and they both saw the same thing in each other's eyes.
That is, Blacksmith Luo is really a kind-hearted man who cares about family ties the most.
Even though my heart was hurt by Luo Da'e in the past, I still couldn't be ruthless enough to cut off all contacts.
Such a man really has a strong sense of responsibility.
It is better to open up than to block, and the young couple also figured it out.
"Uncle, you are the head of this family." Yang Ruoqing said with a smile.
"Where do you want to go to see, wander around, and visit relatives and friends? We, as juniors, all agree, as long as you have a sense of discretion in your own mind, we won't say anything." She added, with a look on her face.
