Chapter 422
Chapter 422: Being favored, let’s talk about it
Zhou Yixiu was so exhausted at Li Zhaodi's place that she couldn't sleep all night.
Early the next morning, I wanted to meet Zhang Ru.
Aside from the fact that Zhang Ru is her mother-in-law, she also has the identity of an aunt.
After all, the bones are broken and the tendons are connected, so I think I can still find out something.
With this in mind, Zhou Yixiu came to Zhang Ru's courtyard.
Knocked gently on the door.
"Mother, have you gotten up?
Did you sleep well last night? I made some nourishing soup."
There was silence in the room, just when Zhou Yixiu wanted to open the door.
Zhang Ru's slightly older voice came from the room.
"come in!"
Zhou Yixiu was overjoyed. She thought it would take some effort to get in.
Unexpectedly, it went smoothly.
"Mother……"
After entering the door, Zhou Yixiu was startled.
The housekeeper's other uncles from his own family were also there, and he couldn't help but tremble at his feet.
"I don't know if mother has guests here. When did the uncles come?
Why, you didn’t tell me in advance?”
Several uncles looked at Zhou Yixiu with ugly expressions.
Without waiting for them to say anything, Zhang Ru motioned Zhou Yixiu to step forward.
"I invited them here to bear witness.
Yixiu, my aunt has treated you so well these years that I have nothing to say.
But ask yourself, is it worthy of your conscience?
Now that I think about it, I made a mistake from the beginning."
Hearing Zhang Ru's tone, Zhou Yixiu's heart skipped a beat.
Not caring about anyone else, he quickly stepped forward and knelt beside the bed to hold Zhang Ru's hand.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?
She’s my daughter-in-law, is there anything wrong with what I did?”
Zhang Ru looked at Zhou Yixiu, the child who Jiao Didi called her aunt.
Now that I am older, I also have silver threads in my hair.
"It's my fault if I didn't facilitate this marriage back then.
Then nothing will happen, and that's why.
Yuan'er is not divorcing his wife, but making peace with you!"
Boom, those last two words made Zhou Yixiu's soul tremble.
She vaguely thought that she had heard wrongly.
"Mother, what?
The Marquis said that he wanted to be with me..."
I can't say those two words.
Regardless of her dignity, she pushed Zhang Ru aside and stood up.
"Over the years, I have worked hard to run the Marquis's mansion, serve my mother, and educate my children.
There is hard work without credit, and I made no mistakes.
The Marquis cannot reconcile with me, and I don't want to."
Zhang Ru's expression turned cold when she saw Zhou Yixiu acting so carelessly.
"Not to mention what you have done in the Hou Mansion over the years, have you really served your mother and raised your children well?
It's really strange that I'm sick this time.
How did Lin Zhaozhao enter the palace? This scandal is known to the whole world.
I'll leave it to you to be dignified and not tell you one by one.
But you should have an idea in your mind.
Not to mention these, just because you deceived Princess Chang'an back then.
In order to kill the Princess of Chang'an, I, the Marquis, will divorce her wife.
Heli is Zhou Quan's face for you, what else are you dissatisfied with."
Several uncles who had been beaten by Zhang Ru just now also helped to speak.
"Yixiu, if this matter becomes a big deal.
Not only you, but also the Zhou family can't escape.
The old lady is kind-hearted and will let you live.
Just stop talking, pack up, and go back with us."
Zhou Yixiu was so shocked that she couldn't speak. She looked at Zhang Ru's face and staggered back.
"How could it be? Why are you, no, impossible.
People, people are all dead..."
Over the years, she had been having trouble sleeping and secretly sent people to find out the whereabouts of those people.
Indeed, they are all dead.
Then, how did the old lady know?
The palace, yes, they have been to the palace.
After I came back, I felt weird.
"Mother, did the prince say something?
The prince and Su Jinxiu are getting married, so naturally everything will go according to Su Jinxiu's will.
These were all things Su Jinxiu deliberately instigated the prince to say.
The purpose is to provoke our relationship.
Mother, don’t be deceived by that little bitch Su Jinxiu.
If I had known earlier, I should have strangled that little bitch to death..."
With two crisp slaps, Zhou Yixiu was knocked to the ground.
Zhang Ru didn't know where she got the strength from, standing beside the bed and looking at Zhou Yixiu.
"What if I hear you talking dirty about Jinxiu again.
Don't blame me for not caring about family ties.
What are you still doing? Take the person away.
I don’t want to see her in the future..."
When several uncles saw that Zhang Ruzhen was angry, they hurriedly pulled Zhou Yixiu away.
After the people left, Zhang Ru lost all her strength and fell down on the bed.
She covered her face with tears streaming down her cheeks.
It was supposed to be a happy family with children and grandchildren.
Now, it has ended up like this.
It's all her fault, she asked for it.
I let Zhou Yixiu go because I felt sorry for her.
He strangled his own child to death without knowing it.
This last bit of kindness should be considered as compensation for her!
Zhou Yixiu was put into a carriage by several uncles and sent out of the capital quietly.
The Hou Mansion remained quiet, as if nothing had happened.
————————————
After going to court, Lin Yuan was invited to the Imperial Study Room by Xiao Xiguang.
After discussing some non-irritating government affairs, we waited for the others to leave.
Xiao Xiguang slowly raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Yuan.
"Concubine An is pregnant now and misses the Marquis and his wife very much.
It just so happens that the Marquis has nothing to do today, so he went to see An Bin!"
I was originally planning to invite Madam Hou Fu to come, but I didn’t find out until I arrived.
Mrs. Houfu left the capital, and Xiao Xiguang had no choice but to ask Lin Yuan to stay.
After all, Lin Zhaozhao is carrying his child in her belly now.
First child, only child.
He takes it upon himself to be careful.
Lin Yuan's expression remained as usual, even when he heard that Lin Zhaozhao was pregnant, he didn't show any signs of change.
"My lord, I have something to do and I have to go back home.
Concubine An is in the harem, and it is inconvenient for her ministers to come in and out from time to time.
Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Xiao Xiguang couldn't help but frowned when he saw Lin Yuan being so unkind.
He waved his hand and signaled Lin Yuan to go out.
Lin Yuan left the imperial study and prepared to leave the palace.
Halfway through, he was stopped by Lin Zhaozhao.
Now Lin Zhaozhao's belly has not yet shown her pregnancy, but she has already stretched out her belly impatiently.
It seems that only in this way can you show your difference.
There was only one way out of the palace, so Lin Yuan couldn't turn a blind eye.
I could only step forward and salute.
"Empress Jin An..."
Lin Zhaozhao couldn't help but sneer when he saw Lin Yuan's appearance.
"Does the Marquis know that I have been promoted to a higher position, and he can't be proud of it?
That's why you call me "Empress"?
It's really rare. I never thought that I could wait for this day.
Also, if I were the Marquis, I would definitely regret it.
If I had known that this daughter was so useful, I would have treated her better.
Think about Su Jinxiu, what kind of virtues and abilities can he be valued by the Marquis?
Even if she becomes the Princess Regent in the future, won’t she still have to bow obediently when she sees me?
Besides, whether this princess can successfully become the princess remains to be seen..."
Lin Yuan stood up slowly and looked directly at Lin Zhaozhao.
With a serious look on his face, he warned every word.
"Lin Zhaozhao, I don't care what you do in the palace.
If you dare to try to deal with Jinxiu again, I will remove you from the family tree immediately.
After being driven out of the Zhenyuan Hou Mansion, will you, the empress, be able to sit peacefully by then?
If you want to preserve your wealth for the rest of your life, be smarter.
Don't cause trouble for Jinxiu anymore, otherwise, I'll be rude to you..."
He made peace with Zhou Yixiu, but kept Lin Zhaozhao.
They didn't want the emperor to notice that they already knew the truth.
For Jinxiu's sake, he was willing to let Lin Zhaozhao continue to focus on the reputation of the daughter of the Hou family.
But if Lin Zhaozhao doesn't know what's interesting, then he's not to blame.
