Chapter Seventy-Three: Severing Relations
After Zhou Bin apologized to the guests, everyone took their seats.
Then Zhou Bin said to the old Duchess: "Mother, today should have made you happy, but this kind of thing happened, the Sun family will wait for the banquet to end, and the banquet must not be stopped." ”
The words were full of filial piety, and the old Duchess nodded, "I don't blame you, I know you are a good boy." You're being taken advantage of. ”
Zhou Zheng looked at their mother and son with cold eyes, and laughed, the matter is not over yet! What are they happy about?
Zhou Jinxuan didn't say a word, and left the house.
Now even if he doesn't want to face it anymore, he has to believe that Zhou Bin and his wife are framing him and Lin Yu.
If he stayed, wouldn't he embarrass Lin Yu and Zhou Zhengzheng? He didn't even attend the birthday banquet, and Zhou Bin and the old Duchess knew that he was really angry, which was the best support for Lin Yu's mother and daughter.
The birthday banquet went on as usual, and no one mentioned the episode just now.
Zhou Zheng asked Qingyun to take the water lotus down first. Shuilian can no longer stay in the second room, but her deed of sale is still in the hands of the second room, unless she becomes an aunt, otherwise her fate is worrying.
Yesterday, Zhou Zhengzheng talked to Shuilian, at first Shuilian was unwilling, Zhou Zhengzheng promised to make her an aunt, Shuilian thought that Zhou Bin had repeatedly promised to raise her as an aunt, but she had repeatedly pushed back, so she agreed.
Since Zhou Zhengzheng promised that Shuilian would protect her, he would not break his promise.
Testifying in public this time, it cannot be said that the evidence is necessarily valid, but at least it also slapped Zhou Bin and Sun's face, Sun is afraid that after this time, he will no longer be able to support her, Zhou Bin and Xiping Houfu will give up on her, she is already married and abandoned. So at this time, Shuilian took the initiative to mention the matter of her aunt to Zhou Bin, and Zhou Bin would definitely agree.
Even if he resented Shui Lian's betrayal of the second room, Zhou Bin didn't dare not agree. Because Shui Lian knows too much, if she doesn't obey her, I'm afraid she will tell Zhou Bin's ugly things.
Zhou Bin didn't dare to kill Shuilian, Zhou Zhengzheng made such a fuss at the birthday banquet of the old Duchess, the second room framed the big house has spread, if Shuilian died at this time, outsiders will definitely think that Zhou Bin killed people with a weak heart, so doesn't it indirectly prove that what Shuilian pointed out is true?
The cautious Zhou Bin will definitely accept Shuilian as his aunt to prove his innocence.
Sure enough, after Zhou Bin knelt down and begged the old Duchess of the country, Shuilian was soon successfully promoted to be an aunt. The Sun family was confined in the Buddhist hall, and the second room was temporarily managed by Aunt Li.
Because it was Zhou Zhengzheng who came forward to make trouble, it didn't affect anything, but Zhou Zheng's cleverness and courage were passed on. The second room not only sacrificed a Sun family, but also ruined its reputation, which can be said to have lost face.
It was night, in the mansion of Wu Guogong.
The autumn wind is whining, and the fallen petals are finally blown off, and they fall quietly in the soil, waiting for the next year, which can be turned into spring mud to protect the flowers. In the garden in late autumn, there is no fragrance of spring, nor is there the excitement of summer, but the silence under the moonlight and the fragrance in the cool breeze make people feel calm, and it seems that even the stones are breathing gently.
When the moon is in the sky, the broken silver sprinkled is fine and dotted every corner of the house. It's like a handful of salt sprinkled in the lake water, slowly melting away with the breeze.
The shadows of the trees by the lake fell on the surface of the lake in black, as if they had covered the fish at the bottom of the lake with a quilt.
It's just that this quiet night, in the daytime, is a completely different scene.
Zhou Jinxuan came to Lin Yu's room, and Zhou Zheng was embroidering with Lin Yu.
"Don't worry, the Xiping Marquis Mansion has promised to sever relations with the Sun family." Zhou Jinxuan sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and said.
Zhou Zheng was stunned, "Father is not in the house for a day today, could it be that he went to the Xiping Marquis Mansion to negotiate?" ”
Zhou Jinxuan nodded, "Little clever ghost, I really can't hide anything from you." The Sun family actually wants to poison us, such a vicious woman, if the Marquis of Xiping wants to protect her, I will go to the court to sue the emperor, the Marquis of Xiping is naturally afraid, why not announce the severance of relations with the Sun family? Besides, I categorically can't let the Sun family harm us like this. ”
Lin Yu sighed, "Now that there is another aunt in the second room, the Sun family's life is even more difficult." It is really self-inflicted, and you cannot live. ”
Zhou Zhengzheng said: "If you want me to say, if there is no second uncle behind the scenes, the second aunt would not have the courage." The second uncle must have a part in this matter. Why don't we drive out the second uncle's family, so as not to be framed by them again. Originally, there was a rule on the ancestors that the ancestral business could only be inherited by the eldest son, where was the second uncle or anything. ”
Zhou Jinxuan was silent.
Lin Yu touched Zhou Zheng's head and said, "Your father has just returned from the border pass, and he has to drive people out, which is not a good reputation." Besides, without the support of the Xiping Hou Mansion on the second side, there will be no strength to harm people in the future. Don't be afraid. ”
Zhou Zhengzheng said: "There is no Xiping Marquis Mansion, there are also Xiao Guifei and the Seven Princes." Hasn't the second uncle already taken refuge in the Seventh Prince? I'm afraid that the Seventh Prince is even more difficult than the Xiping Marquis Mansion. ”
Zhou Jinxuan said: "Don't worry, I have already talked to my second brother. The second brother promised that there would be no more similar incidents, after all, it was my younger brother, and I wanted to give him another chance. ”
Since Zhou Jinxuan said so, Zhou Zhengzheng had no choice but to give up.
Yuwang Mansion.
The moon is dark and the wind is high.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew, squeaking a window that had not been closed tightly, perhaps it had not been closed for too long, and the wooden pivot was a little cracked, revealing the color of the log, which was already a little moldy.
The cold moonlight came in, pouring a layer of hoarfrost on the cold ground, which was very cold and quiet.
As soon as the wind passed, the whole house was quiet again, and there seemed to be no one in the quiet. Even the lush peach blossoms seem to have no life.
Red Sakura was led in by Ah Ming, and the two stood in front of Lin Zhongchao and finished saluting.
"His Royal Highness King Yu, something big happened in the Mansion of Wu Guo today, so the people went out of the mansion on the grounds that the old mother in the family was seriously ill, and I came to inform His Highness."
Red Sakura is Ah Ming's younger sister, in order to find out about the affairs of the Duke of Wu Guo, she entered the Mansion of Wu Guo as a slave, and now she is a sprinkler in the courtyard of Lin Yu.
At the birthday banquet, how did the Sun family be grounded in the Buddha Hall after being defeated by Zhou Zhengzheng, and how did Zhou Zhengzheng design to make Shuilian the aunt of the second room, Hongying told Lin Zhongchao in 1510.
Lin Zhongchao didn't see any waves in his eyes, "Then let's let Zhou Bin take advantage of it again, and take advantage of his Aunt Shui, and send him the mother and daughter from the ink pool workshop as well!" ”
Amin asked, "When does the master want it to be?" ”
"Tomorrow." Lin Zhongchao said with a smile, "Iron, of course, you have to fight while it's hot." ”
It turned out that the young woman I saw in Mochifang that day was the second son of the Dingguo Mansion, that is, the daughter of the new official Shangshu, Miao Shumei.
