In a house not far from the palace, Zhou Changshou looked at Zhou Ping'an who was sitting under the eaves reading and drinking tea with an expressionless face, and for the first time he suppressed the murderous impulse in his heart.
Not far from the two people, a young woman was sitting on the steps, looking at Zhou Changshou eagerly, her big eyes full of admiration and obsession.
"Changshou, the prince has arrived in Jincheng today."
Zhou Ping'an, who really couldn't bear it anymore, said.
Continuing to drink tea, Zhou Changshou nodded and said, "I know, it's so lively outside. Even standing in the corner, you can hear the people talking about the arrival of the prince."
Taking a breath, Zhou Changshou gritted his teeth and said, "Then why haven't you tried to find a way to contact the prince?"
"Do you know, we were almost discovered several times!"
Hearing this, Zhou Changshou chuckled and said, "Don't panic, hasn't this been discovered all along? With your sweetheart here, everything will be fine."
Perhaps she heard that the two words in this sentence were related to herself. The woman blushed with embarrassment, glanced at Zhou Changshou shyly, and then quickly lowered her head and rubbed the corners of her clothes.
That appearance of Ai Ai really made me feel pity for him.
But Zhou Changshou didn't seem to see it.
Or maybe they saw it and didn’t have the time to flirt with the woman secretly.
Zhou Changshou said angrily: "We have been hiding here for the past few days. All the food and clothing expenses have been paid for by Caihe. Not to mention, she has been interrogated several times. If something happens, will you be embarrassed?"
Zhou Ping'an finally put down his book. He stood up, sat down on the steps next to the woman, and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you willing to pay some money for my brother and me as my future brother-in-law?"
When the woman heard Zhou Pingan's name, she was both shy and happy. Although she blushed, she nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes."
"Although I haven't read any books, I also know that money is just an external possession. Although it is also very important,..."
Speaking of this, the woman named Caihe quickly glanced at Zhou Ping'an, lowered her head again, and said softly: "But if it's him, if it's you, I can do it."
Zhou Changshou chuckled lightly and asked again: "But my brother and I are wanted criminals now. Once we are caught, not only us, but you will also be implicated."
Slightly clenching his fists, Caihe said firmly: "I'm not afraid."
Zhou Ping'an spread his hands to Zhou Changshou and said, "Look, I don't care about you. Why are you howling there?"
Zhou Changshou couldn't bear it anymore and angrily shouted: "How come you are thicker-skinned than the city wall!?"
Zhou Ping'an yawned lazily and said, "I'm still curious about why you are such a mother-in-law. And even if you are like this, there is a woman like Sister-in-law Caihe who is devoted to you. It is really unfair."
Zhou Changshou was really angry and said stiffly: "Can you not mention this matter? She and I are innocent!"
Seeing that Zhou Changshou's tone was extremely harsh, Zhou Ping'an wisely did not continue on this topic. He said: "You should be patient and don't be impatient. Those who achieve great things should avoid arrogance and impetuosity. Have you forgotten such a simple truth? Or have you been following the wind for many years?
Are you so accustomed to the smooth flow that you forget how to deal with crises?"
Zhou Ping'an's series of questions made Zhou Changshou look unhappy.
