In an instant, the cuckoo was stunned on the spot. The burden on both arms seems to weigh a thousand pounds. She was so tired that she involuntarily squatted down and put the two children on the ground.

It's Cheng Mingzhen's child! No wonder the eyebrows and eyes look so similar to her husband. But you can't blame anyone else for this! It was she who personally sent the femme fatale woman in front of her to her husband's bed, thinking that this would make her husband happy and forget her forever. But I never thought that after many years of marriage, I didn't come out, and that cheap woman was pregnant with two children in just one night!

Seeing Xiao Xinghua's unfamiliar figure, Cheng Mingzhen was also stunned on the spot. Ever since he risked offending Zhang Jincheng and the others and threw Xiao Xinghua and Zhou Wen out of the Guantao City, he had never thought of seeing them again. When I was young, my affection was from the bottom of my heart, whether it was confused for a while, it was a dream, and I had done it. Since there is no longer affection, there is no need to hate. There is nothing to be nostalgic about, and naturally I don't want to reminisce.

Who would have thought that after many years, Xiao Xinghua would meet herself in this situation. Is it really her? Cheng Mingzhen's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe what he was seeing for a while. The cousin Zhu Xinghua in front of her is just a little shadow of the year in her figure. Those simple, dazed, confused and soft have been sharpened by the years without a trace, full of vicissitudes of life, tired eyes.

The third one who was stunned on the spot was Cheng Mingzhen's cousin Zhu Xinghua. Looking at my cousin, who was still standing not far away like a big tree, all the words he had prepared before coming, whether fake or sincere, suddenly turned pale at this moment. She wanted to rush to him and call him a cousin like she did when she was a child, but under the fierce gaze on the side, she was afraid that her soul would have nothing to hide. Those eyes were like knives, and she was overwhelmed back then. Now, the owner of his eyes has become his cousin-in-law, but the hatred in his eyes is still there.

As an old man who has followed Cheng Mingzhen and his wife for many years, Sister-in-law Lian was the first to feel the stiffness of the atmosphere. coughed lightly, and scolded the maids and servants, "What are you doing in a daze?" Is the yard cleaned up? I'd better wait for a few more men to serve you. Do what you need to do, and make fewer excuses for yourself! ”

The maidservants were at a loss, and when they heard Sister-in-law Lian's reprimand, they were all pardoned. squatted down to give a salute to Cheng Mingzhen and his wife, and ran away.

I had never seen such a vicious side of Sister-in-law Lian, and the two children were so frightened that their mouths flattened and cried loudly, "Mother, I want to find my mother." You're a bad person, let my mother beat you! ”

While crying, he broke free from the cuckoo's weak arm and stumbled towards Zhu Xinghua.

Hearing the child's cry, the three adults woke up from their stunned at the same time. Xiao Xinghua's mother and son were connected, and they didn't care about how to say hello to their cousin and sister-in-law, squatted down, held the two children in their arms, and comforted them softly. Cheng Mingzhen noticed his wife's pale face, stepped forward, and grabbed the other party's shoulder, "No, it's not what you think." I, without her, the child will not be mine! ”

The more anxious he was, the more he didn't know where to start to explain the misunderstanding. The cousin did try to atone for Zhou Wen's sins with her body back then, and she was indeed full of anger and ready to take revenge. But at the critical moment, the youth's youth and the guilt in his heart prevented him from taking the last step. For men, that's really not a glorious thing. So over the years, he has never taken the initiative to explain to Du Juan. Now that my cousin and two children have appeared in front of me, I will try to explain it by all means, isn't it getting darker and darker?

"I know!" The cuckoo smiled miserably and nodded, his eyes full of regret and disappointment, "It's not your fault." Back then, I used a knife to force him to accompany you. It's something I did myself, and I should take the result! ”

"That's not the case at all!" Cheng Mingzhen stomped his feet and stood up, pulling the cuckoo towards Xiao Xinghua and the two crying children, "I don't believe you ask her if this child has anything to do with me." Xinghua, you tell your cousin-in-law, whose child is it? ”

The roaring question caused the cries of the two urchins to cease abruptly. The twins, who had never been scolded since they were children, were frightened, and they didn't dare to be coquettish anymore, so they shivered and hid behind their mothers' backs. In the face of the sudden crisis, Zhu Xinghua immediately turned into a hen protecting the chicks, first hiding the two children behind her weak body, then stood up and said with a strong smile: "Cousin, what are you talking about?" I take my children to see their aunts, what's wrong? If you cause trouble to your cousin and sister-in-law, the three of us will move away. Don't be so loud, they're only three years old! ”

No matter how you count it, Cheng Mingzhen and his cousin Zhu Xinghua have been separated for three years. Hearing this, the cuckoo, who was robbed of his reason by jealousy, finally came to his senses, smiled lightly, and stepped forward to take Xiao Xinghua's hand, "What are you talking about, cousin?" Since you came to see your mother-in-law, how can we husband and wife kick you out of the house? What about brother-in-law? Didn't I come with you to confess my relatives? ”

"He has just been granted an official position by the imperial court, and he is preparing to go to Chang'an to face the saint. The three of us thought it was too far, so we stopped halfway. One is to visit my aunt, and the other is to rest by the way! Zhu Xinghua stood up, put her other hand on the back of the cuckoo's hand, and explained with a smile.

"It turns out that my brother-in-law has been promoted. What a gratifying congratulations! "In an instant, the fierce aura on the cuckoo's body disappeared, and he became an out-and-out and knowledgeable lady." After so many years of no news, I really didn't expect anyone to still think about us. It's been a few days, why don't you send someone to notify you in advance, and your cousin and I can prepare well! ”

"My sister-in-law was right. It's my sister, I'm rude. I haven't been in touch for so many years, and I don't know that my cousin's mansion fell on the party. After we all came to Changping, our husband and wife listened to the magistrate. Then I couldn't bear to miss my aunt, so I came uninvited. If you are disturbed, please take care of your sister-in-law! "When it comes to lip service, Xiao Xinghua has never lost to others. As soon as the panic was suppressed, he immediately regained his sharp teeth back then.

"Look at what my sister said. Since you're here, of course, there's no reason to go out! Otherwise, those who know understand that our family is shabby and does not invite guests to be treated. I don't know, I still think that your cousin has forgotten his old friend after he has been made a marquis? "After all, I have been a marquise for more than a year, and the cuckoo's mouth has also been exercised. The language is sharp, and the words are like knives.

I watched my wife and Xiao Xinghua hold hands like sisters who hadn't seen each other for many years, talking and laughing together. Cheng Mingzhen suddenly had a very absurd feeling in his heart. He suspected that he was dreaming, a boring and long dream. Just like the old dragon of the Yellow River always teased him with wealth and beauty, but at critical moments, he always woke him up from his dream.

It's just that the dream in front of me is even more absurd than the promise made by the old dragon of the Yellow River. The cousin who married the enemy actually brought the child to see her, and kept calling her cousin. The enemy who wanted to put himself to death had been entangled with him for many years like a maggot attached to his bones, and now he was actually an official in the same dynasty as him. So Xiao Xinghua came this time, whether she wanted to bridge the festival between the two sides, or take her son to demonstrate to herself. Tell yourself that Zhou Wen is also a member of the imperial court, and all hatred will be written off from now on?

Nonsense, if you want to take revenge, you would have chopped Zhou Wen with a knife back then. Why wait until now. What's the point of having two children? A hostage to your eyes? Or do you want to test the limits of your sanity? You must know that within a radius of 200 miles nearby, it is now the territory of the Zhaozhou camp. Here, hooking your fingers is enough to make the Zhou family cut off their children and grandchildren. And afterwards to ensure that there are no clues implicated in their heads.

Thinking like this, Cheng Mingzhen's thinking gradually became clear again. He didn't believe that his cousin had come for family affection. I don't believe that the sinister and cunning Zhou Wen will try to use the long-existing family affection to show favor to himself. There must be something hidden behind this, but I didn't think of it for a while. But you must be careful not to fall into the trap of others. If you suffer a loss once, you can blame others for being insidious, and if you suffer a loss twice on the same person, you can only blame yourself for being too stupid.

Before he could figure out his cousin's intentions, Du Juan and Xiao Xinghua had already "killed" a chess opponent. When occupying the geographical advantage and the sky, the cuckoo barely beat the opponent by one and a half moves. But in terms of personal scheming, she is obviously not Xiao Xinghua's opponent, although she has the upper hand, she can't force Xiao Xinghua to reveal her flaws.

Sister-in-law Lian and Caixia felt sorry for the cuckoo and were unwilling to let Xiao Xinghua continue to swagger. looked at each other, and both stepped forward, "Master Hou, madam, let me remind you boldly." It's hot outside, so let's change clothes in the house first. It's not a problem to let guests stand in the garden and bask in the sun. The old lady has been looking forward to hearing from the Hou Ye and Mrs. ”

"Oh, look at my memory. Patronizing and greeting my cousin, I almost forgot about filial piety! The cuckoo patted his head lightly and responded with a smile. Let's go, let's go to my mother-in-law's side together. I asked her for an immortal talisman in the temple, and I just presented it to my mother-in-law with my own hands! ”

"I haven't let the child kowtow to his uncle yet!" Xiao Xinghua also suddenly remembered something, wiped the corners of her eyes, and smiled. Pulling out two naughty children who were frightened by the strange actions of adults from behind, he pressed their necks and ordered, "Hurry up and see your uncle and concubine, my mother is in the world, and there are only so many relatives left!" ”

"Meet my uncle, concubine." The two children had just seen Cheng Mingzhen's ferocity, and they didn't dare to make a mistake, so they knelt on the ground and shouted in a milky voice.

"Good boy, you look so sensible!" The cuckoo grabbed in front of Cheng Mingzhen and pulled it up one by one. "Let's go, go into my uncle's house, and let the concubine take a closer look at you and your mother!"

With that, he gently took the child's hand and walked all the way to the inner courtyard with a smile.
