Chapter Seventy-One: Rivalry

"Ru'er should have seen her sister." Zhou Ru gently bowed to Zhou Huan, and by the way, she also took two steps closer to Zhou Huan.

The old lady sat in her seat with a smile, but her eyes wandered on the two sisters from time to time. Today's Zhou family has not many descendants to rely on, but it is difficult to get along with Zhou Huan and Zhou Ru.

"Huan'er, Ru'er is your own sister, the two of you still have to get close as soon as possible."

Zhou Huan pursed his lips, and just as he was about to say something more, Zhou Yan had already appeared here again.

"Old lady, everyone is already waiting, and it's time to start the table." Zhou Yan spoke respectfully to the old lady, and his eyes inadvertently fell on Zhou Huan's body for a moment.

Offending the old lady and Zhou Ru at this time is not a promising thing for Zhou Huan.

Zhou Huan and his girl Rong Zhi walked at the back, Rong Zhi has always been a careful girl, so she said to Zhou Huan cautiously: "Miss, these two young ladies have deep roots in the house, don't force her to come." ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. ”

When Zhou Huan heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was an unfathomable smile on the corner of his lips. In the previous life, Zhou Ru disguised himself as a completely good person, and everyone in the world knew that the second lady of the Hou Mansion was beautiful and kind-hearted, and she was a person who didn't even dare to step on ants to death.

Therefore, I unexpectedly heard that there was a person who fell to Zhou Ru, and Zhou Huan actually thought it was very interesting.

"I used to have a sister who served in the courtyard of the second lady, and others thought it was a great blessing, but ......," Rong Zhi said, and her voice was lowered.

At this moment, the two of them were passing through the corridor in the courtyard, and they were not afraid of being overheard.

Zhou Huan knew what Rong Zhi wanted to say. Others think that Zhou Ru is very kind, but the girls who often disappear in Zhou Ru's yard don't think so.

"Miss, second miss, she beats and scolds the girls, and often uses them to let go, so my sister who has a hard life has not survived a winter." Rong Zhi's voice was still a little sad, but after she finished speaking, she realized that she was talking nonsense.

"I'm sorry Miss, Rong Zhi was dizzy for a while and said something confused."

What she just counted down was Zhou Ru, the second lady in the Hou Mansion, who was not only her master, but also favored by the old lady.

Moreover, no one will believe these foolish words at all.

Rong Zhi only felt that her back was cold, what if Miss couldn't figure it out and handed herself over to the second lady for disposal?

Who knew that Zhou Huan just looked at Rong Zhi with the same smile on the corner of his lips and said, "Rong Zhi, I believe you." And I'm glad you told me that. ”

Since Rong Zhi is willing to believe her, she doesn't mind giving Rong Zhi a good future. and her poor little sister's hatred, Zhou Huan didn't mind dealing with it together.

After all, Zhou Ru is innocent of death!

Soon the group walked through the corridor to the room in the atrium. On weekdays, they usually don't come here, but today is a family dinner, and everyone who should come is here.

"Huan'er, come to me quickly." The old lady who was walking in front suddenly stopped her steps and turned to look at Zhou Huan not far away.

Zhou Huan shook his head, looking cautious. "Still no, Huan'er just came back not long ago, I'm afraid I can't take care of the old lady."

The old lady didn't move, "This girl, you're still worried about this kind of thing, Yan'er still hasn't invited your sister over?" ”

This is already giving Zhou Huan the biggest face, of course she can't let Zhou Yan come over to invite her in person, so she can only stop here.

Since the old lady wants to re-establish a position for her in the Zhou family, and Zhou Huan herself also needs to rely on the old lady, there is no reason for her not to accept it.

Originally, the old lady was surrounded by Zhou Yan and Zhou Ru, but after seeing Zhou Huan coming, Zhou Yan took the initiative to take a step to make way for Zhou Huan, and stood beside Zhou Huan.

"Old lady, this is a bad time." Zhou Huan stood beside the old lady obediently and meekly, and then a group of people slowly walked forward and left.

Zhou Yan looked at the docile Zhou Huan beside him, with a little doubt in his eyes, why did he feel that the Zhou Huan he saw was always a little weird.

"What are you thinking about when you leave the year?" I don't know when, Zhou Ru suddenly stopped his steps and walked to Zhou Yan's side.

Zhou Yan's gaze has not yet withdrawn from Zhou Huan's body, "The eldest sister has a lot of discomfort in the mansion when she comes back, and the second sister still helps more." ”

Zhou Ru smiled, "I didn't expect to care about the big sister so much in the new year." ”

Zhou Yan didn't speak, his eyes were dark, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Zhou Ru on the side also looked at Zhou Yan silently, and then looked at Zhou Huan not far away. The doubts in his heart are even worse, Zhou Yan has always been an indifferent person, so the way he took the initiative to protect Zhou Huan made Zhou Ru very strange.

Moreover, even the old lady was boastful of Zhou Huan, she really didn't know what powerful means Zhou Huan had.

And Liu's affairs, she always felt that she couldn't afford to deal with Zhou Huan. I really don't know how her mother was so capable and how she got to that point.

Zhou Ru knew that in the past few months since she left the Zhou family, it seemed that something interesting had happened at home. But no matter what happens, her position is unshakable.

If someone touches her bottom line, then she doesn't mind teaching those who don't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the sky.

"When I came back this time, I brought you the books you had been thinking about before." Soon, Zhou Ru hid the superfluous expression on his face, and then put a habitual gentle look on his face.

Zhou Yan's long gaze retracted from the crowd in the distance, "Thank you second sister for your concern." ”

Zhou Ru nodded, and just as he was about to say something more, Zhou Yan, who had already taken steps to leave, turned around and added, "By the way, second sister?" ”

Zhou Ru, "Hmm." ”

"In the future, the second sister will still be the same as before." Zhou Yan tried his best to suppress the combing on his body, "I'm the second eldest in this house, so it's good to call my second brother." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhou Yan quickly caught up with the crowd. I don't know what Zhou Huan said to the old lady, the old lady couldn't straighten up when she laughed there.

Zhou Ru, who was in place, was stunned for two seconds, raised her eyes and glanced at the girls beside her, and the girls immediately lowered their heads in fright.

Zhou Ru didn't speak again, turned around and chased after him with steps.

……

During the banquet, not surprisingly, the old lady let Zhou Huan sit beside her. After a series of complications, the servants who rushed in came in with the food they had already prepared.

"Old lady, the young ladies of our Zhou family are also a reunion today." The Qin family is now in charge, so he was the first to stand up with a wine glass.

The old lady nodded, and her eyes fell on the four girls in the banquet. Although Zhou Huan has just come back, she has gradually begun to occupy the position of the family, Zhou Ru has been performing very well over the years, as for Zhou Qing, this girl is a little unable to help up.

In the end, the old lady's eyes fell on the dexterous fifth lady Zhou Meng, this child has experienced this disaster, and must be a blessed person in the future.

"But, Daddy, when are we going to get my brother back?" Zhou Qing, who had not spoken, finally found a chance to speak.

Liu and Zhou Shenyuan have twin sons, and in Zhou Qing's opinion, as long as her younger brother can come back, maybe her mother will also come back.

Zhou Shenyuan put down the wine glass in his hand, "Yes, they should come back too." ”

However, Zhou Shenyuan's direction of speech was looking at the old lady, and after the two children were born, the old lady took the lead and sent the children to a special school to be raised. As for the reason behind this, the people in the house are clear.

The eldest grandson in the house should be Sanfang, that is, the son of the Qin family, but the son of the Qin family was spoiled by the people in the family because he was young, and his personality was arrogant and domineering.

This is the pain of the Zhou family, and it is also the reason why Sanfang has not been able to get out of the Zhou family so far. So after that incident, the old lady did the main thing to send all the children in the house out to raise them, Zhou Yan is now sixteen years old, but he has just come back.

The old lady deeply felt that Zhou Shenyuan missed her son, and she also knew that she sent those two children away at the beginning, but she didn't want those two children to have too much affection for the Liu family.

Now, the Liu family has paid the price, so maybe this child should come back as well.

"Mama Zhang, this house has been deserted for a long time, so you have to go over for a while." The old lady commanded to the people beside her, and then the room was all on their own minds.

Of course, the happiest person in this is Zhou Qing. After hearing the old lady speak, Zhou Qing attributed all this to herself, and then looked at Zhou Huan triumphantly.

Zhou Huan turned his eyes indifferently and didn't want to pay attention to Zhou Qing.

Regarding his two younger brothers who came out of thin air, Zhou Huan had a lot of thoughts in his heart. If Zhou Qing felt that the two of them were the salvation of their big house, then she was very wrong.

This chess piece in Zhou Huan's hand will soon come in handy.

After Zhou Qing saw Zhou Huan ignoring herself, she thought about it and set her eyes on Zhou Ru, who she hadn't seen for a long time. She thought that she had suffered so many grievances during this time, and Zhou Ru would not help her.

"Second sister, in the days when you are away, everyone misses you so much." After Zhou Qing finished speaking, she looked at Zhou Ru with teary eyes.

"Especially the mother, she ......"

With a snap, the old lady put the chopsticks in her hand on the table. Mama Zhang behind her hurriedly came forward with a handkerchief to wipe the old lady's hands, and no one at the table dared to continue to speak.

Zhou Qing didn't know why, "It's obviously Zhou Huan's fault, her mother was ...... as soon as she came"
