The next day, on a sunny day, Zhou and Cheng were driving to the outskirts of the capital with two cars.

Zhou Xiaozheng left the guards and two aunts to take care of Ping'an.

This will Zhang Guoqing drive the car and follow behind Cheng Lao's car. There was a solemn atmosphere in the car, and Zhou Jiao held Zhou Xiaozheng's hand tightly, hoping that she would give him some strength.

Looking out the window at the mountain peaks not far away, she had a lot of thoughts. Last night, she went home and took the lead in seeing off Mrs. Cheng. By the time the Lin family man moved to the Zhou family to chat, it was already the dead of night.

She couldn't sleep all night in front of the two wooden boxes she had brought back. As long as you close your eyes, what appears in front of you is Gu Ruyi's well-maintained face and the smile on her face.

Coming from a big family? What is left behind when this layer of skin is peeled off?

The truth has been hidden for a long time, and a letter left by her grandmother does not mention anything about the events of that year. Did she already know the truth and didn't want the hatred to continue to the next generation, or was she also kept in the dark?

She tested Mrs. Cheng a few words. The sadness and grief of those eyes that saw through the vicissitudes of the world made her heart tremble. Is there any need to ask again?

Coming to the foot of the mountain, the group walked to the mountain hut. This was the resting place where Zhou Jinyu and Gu Mingzhu were incognito. Across the hill is the ancestral tomb of the Zhou family.

The cottage is very basic. Over the years, Mrs. Cheng should have been taken care of, and the inside was tidy. It's a pity that there are no traces of life. People die like clouds, and they just disappear into the world.

Mrs. Cheng asked her to prepare incense, candles, and paper money early, and now two baskets are placed in the room.

The group rested for a meeting, and Zhou Xiaozheng and Zhang Guoqing rejected everyone.

Weng and his son-in-law carried a basket in front of each other. The mountain road was rugged, and everyone pulled each other forward.

Looking at the mountain and running a dead horse, this should not be the winter of worship, and the valley is cold and windy.

The group stopped and walked for more than three hours, and finally came to the remote ancestral grave of the Zhou family.

There are no impressive grave complexes as expected, only a few mounds covered with trees and weeds.

For hundreds of years, the glory of the Zhou family turned into dust, and I don't know if the ancestors of the Zhou family will die without turning a blind eye.

Not far away, in front of the newly cleaned grave, Zhou Xiaozheng was already kneeling on the ground with his head on the ground.

Zhou Jiao saw his slightly trembling shoulders, wiped the tears on his face, and knelt behind him with Zhang Guoqing.

Listening to Mrs. Cheng's heart-rending cry, listening to Cheng Lao's words, the children are back, listening to him sitting in front of the grave and chanting that Zhou Jinyu and his wife got their wish, and finally had an identical little pearl.

Zhou Jiao bit her lip fiercely, looked up at the back in front of her, and stared at the bright red name on the tombstone.

She swore blood to pay it back! Soon, soon she will be able to report to the two old people in person.

Cheng Lao looked at Zhou Xiaozheng and Zhou Jiao kneeling in front of him, and raised his head to wipe away the tears on his face.

In an instant, he saw Zhou Jiao's dark eyes staring at the tombstone, biting her teeth so that both lips were bleeding, but there was no tear on her face except for tears, which was terrifying calmly.

He closed his eyes and sighed, it seemed that something must have been found out in the first place.

Bad fate, something really big is going to happen.

Cheng Lao stood up and supported his wife to get up, pointing to the offerings in the basket. This family only knows how to kneel, and can only be done by his wife. Seeing that the sun was about to set, he beckoned his eldest son Cheng Sijin to help.

Zhou Jiao picked up the paper money and stuffed it into Zhou Xiaozheng's hand, she didn't say anything to persuade him, leaned against him, and silently burned the paper money.

No matter how cold the ground is, where can the hatred in my heart be eliminated? No matter how strong the cold wind is, how can it blow away the sadness in my heart?

After burning the paper money, the father and daughter leaned against the tombstone and silently watched the grave.

Zhang Guoqing saw that everyone had cleaned up, and at this moment he was quietly guarding Zhou Xiaozheng's father and daughter.

He sighed, stepped forward to help Zhou Xiaozheng's father and daughter, and said softly, "Dad, I'll accompany you in the future." In the future, we often came to accompany grandma. Shall we go back now? Auntie, grandmother, they're old. ”

"Let's go. Next time, I will come and report the good news to the two old people. Zhou Xiaozheng pulled the corners of his lips and said solemnly.

Descending the mountain to avoid the trail, the group went down from the side of the mountain, and it was already dark when they returned to the capital.

Everyone hastily ate a few bites of food, and Cheng Lao and Cheng Sijin took Zhou Xiaozheng to Cheng's house. Leaving Mrs. Cheng to accompany Zhou Jiao at Zhou's house.

In the Cheng family's study, Zhou Xiaozheng looked calm, drinking tea with his head down.

Cheng Lao waved at his eldest son, and after seeing him go out and close the door, he asked straight to the point: "Did anything else happen back then?" Gu Ruyi's mother's family intervened? ”

Zhou Xiaozheng looked up at him suspiciously, and asked rhetorically, "What does my uncle think her mother's family is meddling in?" Didn't my aunt say everything about that year? ”

Cheng Lao stared at him for a long time, shook his head and said, "Something is wrong! Something is wrong! Jiaojiao's expression is wrong on the mountain! You're not right either! You tell your uncle, is there something else that the family has done? Even if we have a great hatred with them, you can't mess around. Do you know? What are they? A pile of broken tiles. If you have something, don't do anything, leave it to your uncle, it will definitely satisfy you. ”

"Uncle, you really think too much. What are you doing at them? Jiaojiao finally went home, I was busy with work and children, who cares about them? Besides, after so many years, what can you find? In the future, I will go back to the old house in Jiangnan to look for clues, such as being trapped in the capital every day, and I have no place to check if I want to. ”

Zhou Xiaozheng suddenly refused. There are a lot of things he doesn't want people to know too much. It was his mother's house, and only his own hands could relieve his hatred.

"Really? Have you read today's newspaper? ”

"Looked. Is there anything special about it? Wait a minute... You don't think the Gu family's accident has anything to do with me, do you? Hehe, don't say it, Mrs. Lin is really suspicious of me. No wonder the sanatorium didn't stay at the sanatorium last night, and hurried home to invite our family to dinner. I said, how can you behave abnormally? Zhou Xiaozheng said with a sneer.

Cheng Lao muttered, "Is it a coincidence? Or did their family offend someone? ”

Zhou Xiaozheng said casually: "Who knows? Anyway, they are not good people, and there must be a lot of offends. My mother-in-law still wants the Gu family to visit my house today, and what is even more interesting is that she actually told Jiaojiao that she is the only seedling, and she will need the help of the Gu family in the future, so that she can have more contact with those little cubs. Instrumental? It's better to say that something is wrong and want me to help. ”

He deliberately said these words, just to reach Old Man Lin's ears, so that he could hear what could be more absurd than this?

Gu Ruyi, who has always regarded himself as a smart person, would actually say this to Jiaojiao. I really don't know if I'm old and confused, or if I play his Jiaojiao as a fool?

Cheng Lao saw that he didn't find anything abnormal after saying so much, and then chatted with Zhou Xiaozheng for a few words, and when he saw that he said goodbye, he didn't keep it anymore, so he got up and sent him out.

Seeing him leave, Cheng Lao slowly paced to the study with his hands behind his back.

Cheng Sijin followed closely, closed the door, and asked in a low voice, "How is it?" Isn't it a bit eyebrow-raised? Do you want me to do it? ”

"What hands? Xiao Zheng said that I thought too much. ”

"Dad, you said that you beat the tiger brothers. Brother Zheng, I'll watch from the side, okay? ”

Cheng Lao frowned and thought for a while, shook his head and smiled: "I guess it really wasn't Xiao Zheng's doing." Jiaojiao was in no mood to do this when he first arrived. Besides, he won't play any of these tricks. ”

Cheng Si thought about it, wrote the word "Zhou Jiao" on the paper before the pen, and nodded at Cheng Lao.

Cheng Lao just wanted to shake his head, but suddenly a picture of Zhou Jiao staring at the tombstone with a calm face appeared in his mind. He was stunned for a moment, frowning and looking at his eldest son.

"Dad, don't think she's ignoring her at a young age. You start to think about how she entertained everyone that night after she entered ....... compound?

She must be closer to our family than the Lin family. But do you think there was something unusual about her that night? Is there any differential treatment? Everyone avoided Gu Ruyi, but she took the initiative to mention it with a smile, and her demeanor was more natural than anyone else.

Today, she even bit her lips, but do you see if she is abnormal? Xiao Wu has been staring at her all the time, he should know his wife better, and know that she is not calm at all. She is very good at controlling her emotions with her brother. ”

"Also, have you forgotten that Zhou Jiao is the best at using public opinion? Forgot the old Zhou family in the Northeast? It's like she did it! I just wonder how she moved so quickly when she first came to the capital? ”

Cheng Lao thought for a long time, and said to Cheng Sijin: "Don't jump to conclusions. Let's look at it for two more days, and we'll know if she did it. Don't interfere, just stare from the sidelines, and help her clean up if there is something missing. I guess if she did it, her dad wouldn't have interfered. ”

Cheng Sijin nodded, he was very curious about what happened back then, which would make the father and daughter silent.
