Chapter 67: Crisis
Lin Zhongchao's gaze stayed on Zhou Zhengzheng for a short time, and then he moved away indifferently.
He didn't hear what she was saying.
He had forgotten her, she thought. He didn't know that in his previous life, for so many years after he died, there was not a single day of happiness.
The long sleeves brushed her face. Although it is close at hand, it is far beyond the end of the world.
Passed by again.
The wind blew, and she felt a lot of sand enter her eyes, and the pain made her eyes burst into tears.
She watched as he carried the girl on his back and into the carriage. The carriage kicked up dust and slowly moved away, and the crowd of onlookers dispersed.
He didn't say a word to her in the end, like two strangers who had nothing to do with each other.
In the open space, there is a little bit of sunset red.
"Girl." Qingyun wiped Zhou Zheng's face with a handkerchief, and didn't dare to ask why Zhou Zhengzheng was crying.
It's just that Qingyun has never seen her own girl so sad.
Even when she was framed by the second room, the girl was calm and calm, talking and laughing, why did she cry when she saw this son, and she cried so sadly?
"I'm fine." Zhou Zhengzheng finally adjusted his mentality, "It turns out that many things cannot be perfect. ”
It's like, if she can be reborn, it is already a gift from God, if she can save her relatives and make them happy, she should be content, how can she still expect to get Lin Zhongchao's love again?
"I still have a lot of things to do, I don't have time to grieve, and I don't have time to fall in love." Zhou Zhengzheng wiped away his tears and strode onto the carriage, his eyes firm, "Go home!" ”
The Duke of Wu's Mansion was not calm at this time.
In the old duchess's room, Sun and Zhou Yunluo sat motionless and didn't dare to move, the old duchess looked at the account book, her fingers trembled with anger, and the tea was poured on the ground.
"Lin Yu really greedy for so many silver taels in the house?" The old duchess asked angrily.
Sun lowered his head and said embarrassedly: "Mother, we don't believe it either, so we have been hiding it from you for the past few days and checking it in private, but we have checked it three times, and it is still ......."
"Don't talk about it." The old Duchess said, "Let Lin Yu come over." The evidence is conclusive, and now I think how can she deny it? ”
At night, the chrysanthemum is soaked in the moonlight, showing a golden color.
I heard that Lin Yu was embarrassed by the old Duchess again, this time it was because of the Sun family and Zhou Yunluo's planting, Zhou Zheng carried her skirt and walked into the courtyard of the old Duchess unhurriedly.
I saw several parrots flapping their wings and calling the words "slut, slut".
Zhou Zhengzheng smiled faintly, not angry.
"Where did the animals come from, dare to talk nonsense in front of the girl." Qingyun behind him stepped forward to beat the parrot away, and several slaves and maids in the courtyard of the old duchess had already knelt down in panic, "Big girl forgive your sins." These parrots would not have said such dirty words in the old lady's room in the past, and today they are placed in the courtyard for some reason......
Zhou Zheng waved his hand, grabbed Qingyun and said, "Why be angry with a few animals." Nothing to do with parrots, that's what the old lady taught them. ”
The parrot must have learned it when he heard the old Duchess scolding Lin Yu as a "slut" from time to time.
Qingyun stepped aside.
Zhou Zhengzheng said to the slaves and maids: "Although it is not about parrots, but a few animals say such human words, if a guest comes, I am afraid it will affect the reputation of the Guogong Mansion." That's not good. ”
"Yes, the slave will drive them away at once." The slaves were about to take the parrots away, but Zhou Zhengzheng stopped them, took out a few slingshots from their sleeves, and quickly popped the beads at the parrots.
Bang Bang Bang!
Two of the parrots were killed, and they fell to the ground with their heads tilted, and the rest flew away in shock, and in a short time there was not a single parrot in the courtyard of the old Duchess.
Zhou Zheng has now learned some martial arts from her third uncle Zhou Yuan, how can this slingshot skill stump her?
"Isn't that the solution? I don't think the old lady likes to leave a few bad animals in the house. Animals that have learned badly cannot change their nature. Zhou Zheng gently blew off the feathers on the slingshot and said lightly, "Qingyun, let's go." ”
The two parrots that were killed happened to be the most favored parrots of the old Duchess of China, and the old Duchess praised them for being the smartest and most understanding of her heart, and gave them Korean ginseng powder, and even named them "Da Bin" and "Xiao Bin", which means that they love them as if they love Zhou Bin.
Now that they are dead like this, how can the old duchess spare them? Although Zhou Zhengzheng was killed, Zhou Zhengzheng is a granddaughter, and if the old Duchess wants to be angry, it will also be on their heads.
So the slaves and maidservants rushed to find the old duchess.
So when Zhou Zheng came in, the old Duchess already knew that Zhou Zheng had killed her parrot.
"Ah Zheng, I heard that my parrot was killed by you?" Without waiting for Zhou Zhengzheng to say anything, the old Duchess suppressed her anger and asked in a cold voice.
"Mother, Ah Zheng is pure and good, and he will not kill a parrot for no reason." Lin Yu stood in the center of the hall, her thin body was only wearing a azure Luo skirt with delicate stitches and a simple style, and behind her, two grandmothers stood with ring rulers in their hands.
It seems that the old Duchess has ruled on Lin Yu's "corruption" and is about to enforce the family law for Lin Yu. It seems that Zhou Zheng came at the right time.
"Shut up. You can't take care of yourself, how can you teach your daughter? The old Duchess had a gloomy face, and scolded Lin Yu with a split head.
Lin Yu didn't answer again, bypassed the two grandmothers and walked straight to Zhou Zhengzheng's side, and took Zhou Zhengzheng's hand, "Ah Zheng, my mother knows that you didn't mean it, don't be afraid." ”
Zhou Zhengzheng laughed, "Mother, my daughter is intentional." ”
Lin Yu was stunned, "A Zheng ......"
The old Duchess was so angry that her shoulders trembled, "Sure enough, there will be a mother and a daughter." Zheng, do you know what is wrong? ”
Zhou Zheng took a few steps forward, saluted respectfully to the old duchess, and then said with a smile: "Grandmother, Ah Zheng doesn't know what those parrots used to be, but now, when they see people, they will only scold the slut." It's okay to scold Ah Zheng today, but if there is a guest who comes another day, he will also scold him, I am afraid that it will make people laugh, there are still such animals in the Mansion of Wu Guogong. Therefore, Ah Zheng had the courage to get rid of these evils. ”
The old duchess already understood what was going on, and blamed her for usually scolding Lin Yu in front of the parrot, otherwise how could the parrot learn to speak?
But she couldn't admit her mistake, but her heart was a lot weaker, "Even so, I can't help you dispose of my things." ”
Zhou Zheng said aggrievedly: "Grandmother, wouldn't she blame Ah Zheng for a few scolding animals?" ”
"You ......," the old Duchess was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Sun took the opportunity to scold: "Ah Zheng, how did you talk to your grandmother, there are no rules at all. Those parrots are your grandmother's favorite, and if you want to dispose of them, you have to go through your grandmother's intentions, don't you understand that your grandmother will be sad? You are so unfilial. ”
