Chapter 981: All the ugly things in the world are among them
Of course, Zhou Yu himself doesn't mind being surrounded by stars like this. Speaking of which, a person like him who has his own opinions is difficult to be influenced by outside voices.
Therefore, even if his trip home this time made everyone aware of the commotion in the streets, he was not affected at all.
He knew that the reason for his return home was not to be admired by the stars, but to meet in person the man who took Sun Shangxiang away alone and played tricks on his subordinates.
And... he had just arrived in Wu County, and he got news about the chaos that happened two days ago - someone was trying to put pressure on him and Sun Quan by spreading public opinion. This alone could make him sure
, the man named Lu Qinghou definitely let Pan Zhang and Zhou Tai go on purpose, and told them his whereabouts in an "accidental" way.
This is an upright declaration of war. How could a proud person like Zhou Yu not accept it?
——
It has been nearly fifteen years since Zhou Yu moved his family to Wuxian County and made plans.
In the past fifteen years, although he rarely stayed at home for a long time, he was still quite familiar with the streets and alleys of Wuxian County.
Without going around in many circles, Zhou Yu rode a fast horse directly to the door of his house before causing chaos on the street.
The concierge had been waiting for a long time. When he heard the sound of horse hooves outside the door, he immediately opened the door and greeted him with a smile.
Zhou Yu's father, Zhou Yi, knew that his son had finally returned home after a long absence. Naturally, he was overjoyed to welcome him this time.
For a time, the front door of the Zhou Mansion was full of joy and happiness. Even the servants of the Zhou family were overjoyed because of Zhou Yu's return.
Except...except for Xiao Qiao standing inside the door with a cold attitude——
Yes, in such a festive scene, Xiao Qiao's cold appearance really seemed a bit out of place.
And similarly, except Zhou Yu, everyone knows the reason why Xiao Qiao is like this.
Xiao Qiao, who had just returned to the house last night, talked back to Zhou Yi for the first time in her life. It was also the first time in her life that she got angry at the servants who were always irritating her.
Everyone only paid attention to the fact that Xiao Qiao dared to leave home without permission, but no one cared about what Xiao Qiao said before leaving home...about Sun Shangxiang.
Therefore, in such a strange atmosphere, the concierge quietly walked forward and began to whisper to Zhou Yu.
Under Xiao Qiao's gaze, the calm look on Zhou Yu's face gradually turned serious, and then his brows furrowed. Until he looked at her with arrogance and anger in his eyes, Xiao Qiao did not waver at all.
Zhou Yu looked around, his mind filled with what the concierge had just said. Seeing the neighbors gradually surrounding him, Zhou Yu gave an order:
"Go back to the mansion first!"
——
When the door slowly closed and the concierge bolted the door, the atmosphere in the entire Zhou Mansion dropped to freezing point in an instant with Zhou Yu's scolding.
"You seem to have a big problem with me?"
It was rare for Zhou Yu to yell, and combined with his frown and angry eyes, most ordinary people would be frightened by Zhou Yu being treated like this, right?
Even the unprepared concierge trembled all over and took two steps back in fear.
How could Xiao Qiao, who was standing in the middle of the yard with her back to Zhou Yu, be any better?
Xiao Qiao's shoulders were visibly stiff at this moment.
Zhou Yi, who was standing not far away, looked at the confrontation between the two with a cold snort——
"I've really turned against you... Let's see how my son can cure you, this crazy woman!"
His expression betrayed his thoughts.
Everyone... everyone here is watching the show.
——
"You seem to have a big problem with me?"
"It's just that you haven't been home for a year, and you dare to contradict your father. If you stay away from your husband for a longer time, this family... I'm afraid they won't be able to accommodate you?"
"Turn around!"
There was another roar, and Xiao Qiao's body was shaking.
How she was feeling at the moment... No one knew, but in this isolated and helpless situation, she understood that no matter how pitiful she behaved, no one would save her.
For more than ten years, Xiao Qiao's suffering and suffering in the Zhou Mansion seemed to have condensed into the present portrayal.
Others only think that marrying Zhou Lang is such a glorious thing, and they can't understand it. The more so, what status can a woman who marries into the Zhou family like a beggar have?
Apart from her beauty, Xiao Qiao is just an ordinary woman. She does not have the skills to dance well, nor does she have the capital to make ends meet.
She is Xiao Qiao, a lucky woman who married into the Zhou family, but she is also a woman and is the most common portrayal of women in the world.
After yelling, Xiao Qiao finally lowered his head and turned around.
Zhou Yu impatiently raised her finger at Xiao Qiao, gesturing for her to come closer.
Xiao Qiao then moved his steps and got in front of Zhou Yu in fear.
"What did you hear?"
"tell me."
Zhou Yu asked calmly.
But on the contrary, the calmer the tone, the more it feels like a storm is coming.
"Do you want to complain about the little sister of the Sun family?"
"I think my husband and Wu Hou made a mistake in this matter, right?"
Xiao Qiao slowly raised his head and saw only a pair of cold eyes.
She couldn't see any love in these eyes.
When that young man was getting married, he took advantage of the wine and said words that would make any ignorant girl fall in love with him.
Xiao Qiao admitted that she was once fascinated by this charming young man.
but…
Except for that moment, the next ten years were full of torture, day and night.
She is still just a bitter woman.
As it is now.
A crisp slap sounded.
Xiao Qiao, who was already thin, was overwhelmed by the man's overwhelming strength, and he couldn't help but fell to the ground like the wind.
The servants at home were shocked by this scene at first, and then some began to chuckle, and some began to curl their lips and curse. For example, Zhou Yi held his head high, as proud as an old hyena, relying on the fierceness of his son, in
It exudes a majesty that does not belong to itself.
All the ugliness in the world is crowded in this small courtyard.
Xiao Qiao fell to the ground, pressing her red and swollen cheeks against the cracks of the damp mud bricks, and applying moss to her face, which slightly weakened her pain.
But...such a pitiful scene made Xiao Qiao look even more helpless.
She was so helpless that she didn't even have a chance to cry.
"stand up."
Zhou Yu's orders were like reminders.
Xiao Qiao covered her cheeks that were wet with dirt and moss, and stood up tremblingly.
"Women, don't question things you shouldn't touch."
"Next time, just get out."
Xiao Qiao nodded, Zhou Yu turned around, and time seemed to freeze at this moment.
The last thought remaining in Xiao Qiao's heart was crushed by Zhou Yu's words just now.
