Although she tried her best to suppress it, when she entered the inner hall, Zhou Xiaoniang couldn't help but shed tears, and she didn't want to believe that the king also came in, lest he see it, so she wiped it lightly with her sleeve, sighed and said, "Alas, why did I get such a father?" ”

Seeing that her face was not good, King Xin wanted to come in to comfort her, but when he heard her sigh, he didn't know what to say for a while, so he came over and put his hands on her shoulders, pressed them gently, and said: "Although he is a little skinny, he just wants to get more money to live a good life, and mortals will think like this, is there anything wrong with this?" I don't think there's anything wrong with that. ”

Zhou Xiaoniang said: "Yes, you are right, everyone wants to live a good life, but the emperor and queen rewarded him so much, isn't his life good enough?" What you don't know, it's not a matter of not being able to live a good life at all, what is this called, this is greed. Alas, once man becomes greedy......"

King Xin thought about it, but after all, this was her family matter, so she didn't say anything, so she persuaded: "After all, he is an elder, and it's the first time he has come, so it's not good for us to be like this, so let's go out with me." As he spoke, he took her hand.

Zhou Xiaoniang was unwilling, but she was not too stubborn, and walked out with him half-pushing, half-on-the-spot. arrived at the door of the inner hall, but saw that Zhou Kui was constantly turning in circles. Zhou Xiaoniang knew that this was a sign of Zhou Kui's hesitation, so she grabbed King Xin and stood at the door to watch.

Sure enough, Zhou Kui turned around a few more times, paused, and turned to leave.

The king of letters was about to speak, but Zhou Xiaoniang had already said, "Let him go." ”

King Xin looked at her curiously, shook his head, and said, "Looking at his lost appearance, he must be extremely sad." ”

Zhou Xiaoniang understood what he meant, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled at him and said, "Let's go, you go and get busy." ”

Xin Wang Yuan was still worried about her, but when he saw her smile, he relieved himself and went to take care of himself.

But I didn't know that Zhou Xiaoniang looked at his back, and all kinds of scenes of Zhou Kui's abuse of Ding Xiaonu appeared in front of her, thinking hatefully: "How do you know, he is extremely sad, and it is his mother who suffers, how will he abuse his mother this time?" ”

Thinking about it, her heart was like a pinprick, and she didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Undoubtedly, this has become a piece of her heart. The slightest inducement will come up coldly. Because of Zhou Kui's trouble, she was restless for several days.

But she resolutely did not dare to show it, she could not interfere with him because of her own family affairs. Therefore, she always smiled and sent the letter king to the study to work hard, and then went to trouble alone.

It must be because she was too tired, on this day, after sitting alone for a while, she actually became confused. In a daze, I saw that my mother was walking towards me step by step covered in blood, and after walking for a long time, she was getting farther and farther away from herself......

She was in a hurry, woke up in a daze, gently stroked her chest with her hand, and thought to herself, "What is the sign of this dream?" Could it be that after he went back, he really took out his anger at his mother again, and his mother had suffered an accident? ”

Thinking about it, she stood up in fear, but when she saw someone hurrying in, she knelt down and kowtowed, "Princess Qiqi, your brothers are here." ”

"Brothers? Could it be that my mother really suffered an accident, and they came to report the news? Guessing, he became more and more frightened, and said tremblingly: "Quick, let them in." ”

The subordinates did not dare to slack off, and they were brought in after a while.

Zhou Xiaoniang began to measure them from a distance, and when she saw that there was no concern on their faces, she first relieved herself. Seeing that their clothes were much more simple and decent than in the past, and they even walked seriously, she couldn't help but wonder secretly.

Still wondering, Zhou Duo and the others had already come over to salute. Thinking of their previous virtues, she repaid the gift after owing a little, and asked, "Is mother okay?" ”

Zhou Jian said: "My mother is about to give birth, and my body is inconvenient, so my father is quite thoughtful and attentive to take care of her, but fortunately, my sister just rest assured." ”

She let out an "oh" and asked, "How's Daddy?" ”

Zhou Jing hurriedly said: "Daddy is not as good as before, especially since my sister went back here, it is like a different person, and he repeatedly asks our brothers to be closer to his sister, saying that this is the prince's mansion after all, and we want to learn a little more about how to be a person, and we can be diligent and thrifty." ”

"How is that possible? It's changing too fast, isn't it? I'll give them a try. Thinking secretly, she said: "Daddy is not confused, the emperor and the queen have given a lot of rewards this time, I think our family will not be able to use up for a few lifetimes, why do you want the brothers to be diligent and thrifty?" ”

Zhou Jing was stunned for a moment, and Zhou Duo continued: "What my sister said is also true, but my uncle thinks that people should live a long time, and they can't be as extravagant as in the past, so they must save a little bit, and choose a day to get a daughter-in-law for each of our brothers." ”

"This is a plan to live, he has never been like this, what's wrong, is it stimulated? Stimulated, some changes are uncertain. If so, we're doing the right thing. In her heart, she tried again: "Apart from these, doesn't Daddy have any other explanation?" ”

Zhou Jing said: "It's not easy to say anything about my sister, I want our brothers to be closer to my sister, but don't make trouble for my sister or something." Saying that, fearing that she didn't believe it, she turned to Zhou Duo and the others and asked, "Is this so?" ”

Zhou Duo and the others nodded their heads busily.

She paused, and then had an idea in her heart, and said: "If this is the case, the Zhou family is not far away, but I don't know how the brothers are going to be diligent and thrifty?" ”

Zhou Duo said: "Don't hide it from my sister, I was going to ask my sister to help me get a decent and a lot of money-making errands, and I don't want my sister to be inconvenient, so it's just that." But we brothers can't always be idle.

I have no other strengths with Zhou Jian and Zhou Xuan, and I will return to my ancestral business, pour some Chinese herbal medicine, and make some money; Zhou Jing, Zhou Ming, and Zhou Zhong planned to practice the stall, but they couldn't get hungry after all.

However, I have to ask my sister to pay attention, if there is a suitable errand, our brother is also decent, and it is not in vain that we also have a sister who is a princess. “

She didn't know that in order to gain her trust, Zhou Duo and the others had carefully prepared and preset almost all possible plans, and it was natural and reasonable to say it.

She couldn't find a loophole in her words, but she was still skeptical, thinking: "If they can really do what they say, we hope it, but it always feels a little fake." However, they are not afraid, they can deceive for a while, but they can't deceive for a lifetime, as long as they are cheating, there will always be a time to show their stuffing. ”

Just thinking about it, Zhou Duo had already said: "Let's just come over to inform my sister, if my sister has no other instructions, we will leave." In the future, the brothers will often come to visit their sister, and they hope that their sister will not be disgusted, and they will also miss their brother and sister. ”

She was about to test them, wishing that they would come often, so she hurriedly said, "Where is this, as a sister, brothers are naturally welcome to come often." Personally sent them out the door.

They didn't lie, and although they didn't come together, they came almost every day in groups of three or two.

She was watching them carefully, hoping to find something. The reality is that more than a month has passed unconsciously, and she didn't notice anything, and she slowly let go.

Because she was relieved, she remembered King Xin again, and turned to his study.

Since moving into King Xin's mansion, King Xin has worked harder and harder, in addition to accompanying her, he has devoted himself to studying the strategy of governing the country.

When she got to his study and saw that there was no one inside, she remembered that he had entered the palace, and it was Empress Zhang who passed him into the palace.

"What could it be?" Realizing this, she thought to herself, and there was an inexplicable sense of loss.
