Chapter 217: A Mess

"Dead girls, don't you dislike me for getting old......

In the face of disobedient girls, the old lady was indeed a little angry.

Zhou Huan on the side had a smile on his face, "Old lady, what this girl said is also reasonable, besides, my adoptive father is a miracle doctor, and I can't help but like the taste of these Chinese medicines." ”

"Hey—"

The old lady sighed, "Silly girl, I'm afraid you will think too much." ”

The old lady can be regarded as living freely and freely in this life, and she has paid a lot of faith for the Zhou family, but in the end, when she is old and recalled, there seems to be no sincere person except Zhou Huan among the granddaughters on her side (shēn).

These things (qíng) are really the more I think about them, the more tingling I feel in my heart.

"Drink the medicine, Huan'er will serve the old lady today." Zhou Huan tried hard to add a smile to the corners of his lips, trying his best to make himself look happier.

The old lady nodded, "Okay." ”

When she drank the medicine, for some reason, the old lady suddenly couldn't control the tears in her eyes.

"Let's click", tears fell into the medicine bowl he was holding, and Zhou Huan was stunned and looked up at the old lady.

As everyone knows, the old lady has quickly gathered her (qíng) thread, as if the tears were Zhou Huan's illusion. "Girl, today's matter (qíng) has wronged you, and I probably know the second child's (xìng)."

Hearing this, Zhou Huan shook his head, "Old lady, I'm fine." ”

Still, she said a few more words.

"It's just that now Huan'er's (shēn) share is not only the Zhou family, but also the owner of the Chu Palace. I can tolerate Lin twice, but that doesn't mean I can tolerate a third time. ”

The last time the Lin clan was a demon on the old lady's medicine, coupled with the current (rì) Lin clan's demon, Zhou Huan's heart has reached the point of intolerability.

Therefore, the most important reason why she came here is also this.

Hearing this, the old lady nodded, and there was a bit more complicated (qíng) in her cloudy eyes. "I know that I was trying to preserve them while I was alive."

In the quiet room, because of the old lady's opening, coupled with the fact that she spoke with a little panting, it added a bit of a depressing feeling.

"May I ask you a question, old lady?" Zhou Huan looked at the old lady in confusion.

"Why, you know that the Zhou family has become like this, but you still have to ......"

"Qingqing, I have a headache, the smell here is too uncomfortable."

Zhou Huan was just about to speak, but Qi Yu on the side suddenly interrupted Zhou Huan.

In desperation, Zhou Huan had no choice but to take Qi Yu to the courtyard to sit first, and he immediately turned (shēn) back.

"Looks like you're getting along well with your (diàn)?" The old lady suddenly asked such a sentence without reason.

However, Zhou Huan did not hesitate at all, and it seemed that others were always asking her about this topic during this time.

Zhou Huan nodded and expressed his thoughts.

When she put aside the medicine bowl that the old lady had just drunk, the old lady suddenly looked at Zhou Huan and said with a smile: "Huan'er, a lifetime and a couple, do you understand this sentence now?" ”

Zhou Huan shook his head, and looked at the old lady with a little more exploration in his eyes.

In her memory, the old lady didn't seem to be such a person, she was strong, she was domineering, and she supported the entire Zhou family with the strength of one person.

But now, the old lady suddenly lay on the couch (chuáng), and said to her with a faint breath, a couple for a lifetime.

This made Zhou Huan feel a little unacceptable.

And here, the old lady continued, "You all think that I am living for the Zhou family in this life, but ...... Actually, I'm just living for my husband. ”

Because of illness (qíng), the old lady began to feel a little out of breath when she spoke.

A passage also began to be intermittent.

Zhou Huan was in a hurry, and just when he stretched out his hand to check the old lady's pulse, he was pushed away by the old lady.

"No, my own (shēn) son knows for himself."

"Old lady—"

The old lady shook her head, "It's been so long since we were separated, and I really want to... Miss him. ”

met at a young age and became husband and wife, the old lady's life can be regarded as extraordinarily enjoyable.

At the beginning, she promised her husband that she would keep the honor of the Zhou family, so she put on her armor and went to the battlefield, and in the end she did not lose her trust, but accidentally neglected the children in the house.

It's just that life can't be both, so far, what the old lady can do is to keep it for a while, and it's a while.

mentioned the past, the old lady suddenly fell into the complicated past, and it was precisely because of this past that Zhou Huan suddenly thought of another thing.

"Old lady, can you tell me about my mother (qíng)?" Zhou Huan spoke cautiously.

But when the old lady still heard this, the whole person showed obvious distraction.

"Huan'er, do you really want to know?"

The old lady sighed, although she also tried not to mention those past events again, but thinking that her limit was approaching, some things (qíng) were afraid that they could not be put off any longer.

Facing the old lady's questioning, Zhou Huan nodded seriously, "Old lady, my mother's name is Miao Ya?" Is that right! ”

Miao Ya!

Hearing this name, the old lady's pupils were shocked, if there was any regret in her life, then Miao Ya must be the only one.

"Sister Huan, I still have some things (qíng) that I haven't checked clearly, so can you wait for me?"

Zhou Huan knew that when the old lady said this, she was willing to tell herself what happened back then (qíng). And if nothing else, the old lady herself should know about these things (qíng).

And, about the hidden (qíng) of these things (qíng) back then, presumably the old lady has already begun to investigate.

"Okay." Zhou Huan nodded, "Thank you, old lady." ”

After solving these things (qíng), Zhou Huan suddenly thought of another thing, the matter (qíng) that he came to ask about the wind and sleep.

"By the way, there is something about the old lady, I still want to know now, do you know a general named Meng Tian?"

Seeing that Zhou Huan was anxious to ask, the old lady began to recall the past with great effort, "By the way, when your mother came from the Western Regions to find the Zhou family, she was escorted to our mansion by a general. ”

Zhou Huan nodded.

"When your mother was pregnant (shēn), she came to Zhou's house. But at that time, it was the most difficult time for the Zhou family, and for the eldest son, the best choice was actually marriage. ”

When talking about this past, the old lady began to sigh one after another, and when she heard it, she seemed to regret this past very much.

"Although I later agreed that your mother married into the Zhou family, but she later died depressed, I think these things (qíng) must have nothing to do with me, so I think it's my own fault in the end."

Maybe it was the kind words of a person who was about to die, so when the old lady said these words, Zhou Huan's heart probably believed it.

And after so long, the resentment about those past events has been alleviated a lot.

Zhou Huan is not her mother, so there is no way to help her mother decide who to forgive. But now it seems that in her position, the old lady is not so heinous.

After all, the status of the Zhou family was in jeopardy, but in the end, the old lady still let her mother enter the door of the Zhou family, and this alone shows that the old lady is different from others.

Just because his mother never had any powerful position in Han Zhaoguo, Zhou Huan's mother has been criticized by the powerful people in the capital until now.

After all, the old lady has done enough.

And when it comes to this matter (qíng), Zhou Huan doesn't have so much heart (qíng) to forgive his father Zhou Shenyuan.

At the beginning, my father blindly wanted my mother to marry into the Zhou family, and my father did make enough efforts.

But in the end, after her mother married into the Zhou family, her father did not give her mother enough (ài) protection, but let her die of depression. Even, he gave up her, Zhou Huan really had no way to believe it, this is what his father (ài) and mother are all embodied.

Therefore, for this one thing (qíng), Zhou Huan has no way to forgive Zhou Shenyuan. (shēn) is a man who is unable to protect her heart (ài), but because of this, she is allowed to fall into the abyss, which is shameful.

After Zhou Huan comforted the old lady a few more words, the old lady coughed more and more.

"Ahem, ahem—"

Presumably, the reason why the old lady couldn't chat for a long time, in desperation, Zhou Huan had no choice but to stop chatting, and then chose to say goodbye to the old lady.

It's just that this parting, the two of them know very well in their hearts, and it is uncertain whether the old lady can survive until the next meeting.

"Old lady, you must take your medicine well, and I will do the rest (qíng)."

"Huan'er, don't carry so many things, live well."

Looking at Zhou Huan's back when he walked to the door, the old lady couldn't help but say this to Zhou Huan.

After leaving the old lady here, Zhou Huan immediately came to the courtyard, only to find that Qi Yu's (shēn) shadow had long since disappeared.

When she was in a hurry to look for it, Yuxi hurriedly came out and told Zhou Huan: "Princess, there is news from the palace that the queen mother is seriously ill, and the prince has rushed over now." ”

Queen Mother!

Hearing the news, Zhou Huan's heart suddenly hung up, could it be that the queen still couldn't support it for a long time?

"Let's go to the palace right away."

Saying that, Zhou Huan hurriedly left, but Yuxi after (shēn) hurriedly followed Zhou Huan and said to her: "But princess, (diàn) let you go back to the house first." ”

"Huh?"

Zhou Huan stopped, and his puzzled eyes fell on Yuxi's (shēn).

But Yuxi didn't know what the meaning of Qi Yu's arrangement was, so he just repeated it again.

"When he left, he repeatedly instructed the princess to return to the palace first."

Go home first?

"Then go back." Although Zhou Huan nodded, he still didn't know what the reason for Qi Yu's arrangement was.

Thinking about it, Qi Yu never seemed to have such a request for himself, and now he must have a reason to say this.
