After watching Zhu Ying take Zhang Shou hostage, Wu finally couldn't help but try hard to break away from Zhu Gongquan's hand on her shoulder, but she found two stern guards suddenly blocking the door of the main room. At this moment, she suddenly
Angry in color
"For so many years, Mr. Zhao Guogong has ignored our mother and son. Today you brought the eldest lady here. I respect you as guests from afar, but you talked nonsense to Ah Shou and allowed the eldest lady to hold Ah Shou hostage. What on earth did you do?
What do you want to do!"
You are an ignorant woman who knows nothing about the important affairs of the imperial court. Even the common people in Beijing know that the situation of Zhao Guogong and his son is not good!
Zhu Gongquan thought so in his heart, but he still looked gentle on his face, but his words were extremely harsh.
"Auntie, don't forget, even if Mr. Shou gets married in the future, you are not a serious mother-in-law."
After hearing this, Wu's face suddenly turned pale, and then she slumped back and fell down on the chair.
Zhu Gongquan just paid a lot of money to bribe the Queen Mother. He heard a few words and it worked. He immediately took advantage of the situation and pressed forward: "The eldest lady is so noble. She is in the palace. The Queen Mother loves her even more than the princess. You blame Duke Zhao for treating your mother and son."
You don't care, but think about it for yourself, how can any future father-in-law in the world target his son-in-law like this?"
"Without Mr. Zhao Guogong, how could you, mother and son be so peaceful and happy? What else do you want? Aren't you satisfied?"
Each word was like a hammer, hitting Wu's heart with blood, as if all her strength had been withdrawn from her body. She bit her lip, desperately trying to find a reason to retort, but sadly found that her head
Blank.
Zhu Gongquan knew very well that the two guards guarding the door could be commanded by himself, but the other two guards behind him were sent by the dowager. He must not say the word "break off the engagement" to his face. Otherwise, he would turn around.
When the ancestor of the Zhu family got angry, even the second young master couldn't protect him. Therefore, he only hoped that these two people would go back and report accordingly, so that the mother and son of the Zhang family would not be brought to light.
At this time, seeing that the Wu family had been thrown into chaos by him, he took advantage of the situation to add fuel to the fire: "As for you saying that the eldest lady has kidnapped Mr. Shou, haha, the eldest lady just heard about this engagement suddenly.
I couldn't accept it at the moment, so I took Mr. Shou out to ask a question, but why did it turn into a threat when it came to your mouth?"
"Even if she really did something too much, Mr. Shou is both a man and a future husband. Shouldn't he be tolerant and give in?"
Any man who is held hostage by a woman will definitely feel humiliated. It would be strange if the two of them don't have a huge quarrel!
In this way, Zhu Ying would not accept such an inexplicable engagement just because of that face!
Having said this, Zhu Gongquan winked at the two guards and signaled them to get out of the door they were guarding. Seeing that Wu actually got up and stumbled to the door, he was hoping that the people would chase them out like a shrew in the countryside and clear up the matter.
She was completely upset, but she didn't expect her to stop leaning against the door, her face full of shock and confusion.
He was immediately secretly annoyed. She couldn't even make a fuss. She was indeed a useless village woman!
Mrs. Wu leaned against the door and looked out. After waiting for who knows how long, she finally saw Zhang Shou entering the front door calmly. She felt that her heart that had just been empty suddenly returned to reality, and she hurriedly picked up her skirt and ran out.
"Ashou!"
Seeing the familiar figure running hastily and hearing the familiar call, Zhang Shou didn't know that Wu was probably really frightened and anxious, so he hurried forward to greet her. Seeing her eyes were red
, he pressed her shoulders and whispered: "Don't worry, I'm fine. Don't worry, Mom, I'll take care of everything!"
In the past two years, Mrs. Wu has become accustomed to her son growing up. At first, he kept running out of the village. After being stopped, he would make his own decisions in the village again, so she turned a blind eye. But now
Hearing that calm tone, she unconsciously felt her heart calm down, until she saw Zhu Ying also entering the door.
Thinking of the eldest lady's domineering attitude when she had just taken someone hostage, and because of Zhu Gongquan's harsh words, she couldn't help but feel uneasy.
And Zhu Ying could easily see Wu's fearful mood towards her. Of course she didn't regret holding Zhang Shou hostage just now. If not for this, how could she find out that Zhang Shou didn't know about the so-called engagement?
Therefore, when she saw Zhu Gongquan coming out of the hall with a smile on his face and called "Miss", she ignored him at all, but walked directly to Mrs. Wu, slightly knelt down and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done it just now."
I acted impulsively, and I apologize!"
Zhang Shou raised his head and saw Zhu Gongquan's stiff expression, as if he didn't expect this beautiful young lady to apologize. He couldn't help but smile at the NPC with profound meaning.
Wu was even more unprepared. She subconsciously let go of Zhang Shou and stretched out her hand to help Zhu Ying, but she retracted her hand halfway. When she hesitated and planned to bend her knee in return, she failed.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Shou took the lead.
Zhang Shou smiled at Zhu Ying in a very natural manner and said, "It's just a small matter. Don't worry, I'm not a fussy person."
Seeing Mrs. Wu hurriedly wiping away her tears and nodding her head, Zhu Ying felt relieved, and then without even looking at Zhu Gongquan, she held her head high and entered the hall as if there was no one else around, while Zhang Shou took his time and swallowed slowly.
He helped Wu and walked in.
Seeing Zhang Shou passing by him, he said nothing and waited for an hour. At this time, Zhu Gongquan, who was hungry, couldn't help but look more and more ugly.
Entering the hall, Zhang Shou helped Wu sit down, and he followed suit in a dignified manner. When Zhu Ying had already sat down, Zhu Gongquan, who came in with a sullen face, couldn't help looking at his and Zhu Ying's faces, and he looked calmly.
Smiled.
Just when Zhu Gongquan thought that this country boy who only relied on his face to confuse people was going to sneer at him again, unexpectedly Zhu Ying spoke first, with a few simple words, but she said something shocking.
"I won't go back."
Before Zhu Gongquan could stop him, Zhu Ying said in an unquestionable tone: "Didn't Mr. Zhu just say that this area belongs to our Duke Zhao's mansion? In that case, I will patrol here for a few days on behalf of my father. Zhu Hong, Zhu Yu, you go back.
Tell grandma and she will say that I have made up my mind."
The two guards were no less surprised than Zhu Gongquan. However, seeing the eldest lady’s expression of determination, they couldn’t help exchanging glances, and even said yes, but then they both looked at each other.
Zhang Shou looked as if nothing had happened.
The eldest lady is stubborn again! If the madam hadn't secretly told them when she summoned them in advance, they still wouldn't believe it! But what do the madam and the master think? Zhang Shou is certainly a good man, and he has lived in the countryside for a long time.
So unworthy of her!
Faced with the strange looks from the two guards peeking at him, Zhang Shou was helpless.
I have already said that the engagement can be annulled, and it is your eldest daughter who has to stay here! Besides, if you have the ability, stop your eldest daughter and see what I will do? If she doesn’t go back, you can tie her back!
When he heard what Zhu Ying said next, he felt even more headache. Even if he could sit down on the thatch casually, she was still a wealthy lady!
"After you two go back, put all the books in the third, fourth, and fifth rows from top to bottom on the east bookshelf in my study into boxes, and then bring the little red that I often ride here in a good way. I remember
There are also two docile horses in the stable, which my father gave to me, so I brought them with me."
"Also, the two eldest girls in my room, Zhan Jin and Liu Yin, asked them to pack my commonly used bedding, summer shirts, autumn clothes and winter clothes in boxes and boxes. If not all the jewelry boxes were sent, pick out a dozen
Just a simple daily thing, they can just bring it together, and the sword and bow and arrow that dad gave me..."
Also autumn and winter clothes... How long do you plan to stay, Miss?
Hearing the long list of demands, Zhang Shou couldn't help but lament in his heart. The rich lady and the small rural landowner really didn't match up at all... What's more, he was a fake landowner, but he was actually a pauper!
When Zhu Gongquan heard that Zhu Ying was only giving orders to Zhu Hong and Zhu Yu, completely leaving him alone, he was naturally shocked and angry. However, when he finally heard the name, his whole heart was lifted.
"Moreover, please send a message from grandma to transfer Uncle Hua here."
Zhu Gongquan shouted out loud: "Miss, are you crazy! Hua Qi is a lunatic..."
"Since you say I'm crazy, wouldn't it be a good idea for Uncle Hua to come over?" Zhu Ying raised her eyebrows coldly, and then she issued an eviction order, "Well, it's getting late, Mr. Zhu, you can leave.
This place is too small to accommodate the great Bodhisattva!"
Zhang Shou couldn't laugh or cry. Miss, you really don't regard yourself as an outsider! This is my home! Moreover, when it comes to great Bodhisattvas, aren't you the biggest?
