Chapter 140: Arriving Home

Haitang doesn't know what Zhou Shuyi did and said in her mother-in-law's family after the death of the Hou Shizi of Yingchuan in her previous life, and she doesn't know how Sun Ge Lao provoked in front of the Hou and his wife in Yingchuan.

She only felt that the Zhou family was really unlucky.

Sometimes the fall of a large family is often not caused by external enemies, but by internal problems.

The Zhou family's indulgence and tolerance of the third room for many years made Zhou Shuyi do some inappropriate things after getting married, and dragged the entire family into the water for personal gain. The children of the Zhou family are loyal to the country in the frontier, and they don't know how much they have paid with their lives, but they can't withstand a pair of selfish and stupid mother and daughter desperately dragging their feet in the rear. As a result, the Zhou family was first suspected of embezzlement of military funds, and then because of a murder case, they had a grudge against the famous family of the dynasty, and then lost their military power, and also lost the family's long-term base, so they had to move to the capital and became an ordinary general.

If they had restrained Mrs. Ma and Zhou Shuyi's behavior from the beginning, would all this not happen again?

No one knows the answer.

Haitang listened to Ma's continued muttering about the private comments of the daughters of the Zhou family and the relatives of the Zhou family on what Zhou Shuyi had done, and she just wanted to shake her head and sigh.

Ma didn't know anything about his granddaughter's thoughts, and only sighed: "Everyone can see that this girl just doesn't resent, and the Marquis of Yingchuan doesn't look down on her, so she has a marriage with someone else." But she got married, and she became a family with others, why did she still take those old things to heart? Yingchuan Hou offended her, but Mrs. Yingchuan Hou didn't provoke her, didn't she just give birth to a child a few years later than her, so she needed to shout about the succession? Her man never thought about her brother's title, she was greedy! ”

The key is that Zhou Shuyi herself only gave birth to a son, so she said that she could succeed, but she was too anxious. The eldest son of the Marquis of Yingchuan is only three years younger than her son, and there is a concubine behind her, where do you need to succeed the only nephew? As a result of exposing their thoughts too early, the Yingchuan Marquis and his wife were wary of this brother and daughter-in-law early.

However, behind Zhou Shuyi, there is also the Zhou family, a powerful family with military power, and she is also related to the Queen Mother. She herself is also generous and has a wide range of contacts. Although the Marquis of Yingchuan was the emperor's confidant, he had a lot of worries and could not teach Zhou Shuyi a lesson, and his wife had to get along with the concubine on the surface. Because of the existence of Zhou Shuyi, the second wife of Zeng, the Yingchuan Marquis Mansion has added a lot of talking points to the powerful circle in the capital!

The ladies of the Zhou family all think that Mrs. Ma is too indulgent to her daughter, but she only has this one daughter, and it is rare to see each other for more than ten years, so it seems that it is understandable to spoil more? Anyway, everyone thinks that it would be nice if she didn't spoil the child so much. Whether it's a daughter or a grandson, they seem to be spoiled by her. Others were kind enough to persuade her, but she couldn't help it if she didn't listen. The clan can't let her stop loving the child so much, right?

Haitang couldn't help sneering when she listened, and she only felt that the people of the Zhou family thought too well of Mrs. Ma and Zhou Shuyi. What spoils the children, what is angry because of the marriage, their mother and daughter are simply going to the title of Marquis of Yingchuan! Zhou Shuyi failed to marry the Marquis of Yingchuan, who was a lord, so she had to make up her mind with the second master Zeng, who was not promising, and then made up her mind with the younger generation.

If she thinks so, of course, it can't just be a rumor that she wants to pass on. Yingchuan Hou and his wife have not had children for many years, does it really have nothing to do with her? There are a lot of hands and feet that can be moved in the inner house. If she wasn't sure in her heart, there would be such a time difference of two or three years, why would she rush to make a proposal for succession? It's really not too late to mention it when the Yingchuan Marquis and his wife reach middle age but have no heirs, right?

Since the Yingchuan Hou couple had a child only two or three years late, it means that no matter what Zhou Shuyi had done, the plan failed. If it weren't for Zhou Shuyi's true mistake and the Yingchuan Hou couple to seize the handle, how could they hold a grudge against the entire Zhou family because their son died in Ganzhou? It is estimated that Zhou Shuyi felt that Zhou Shuyi could not calculate in the capital, so she united with her mother's family and poisoned their son in the northwest, right?

Maybe even the Hou Shizi of Yingchuan went to Ganzhou for training, and she also had her handwriting.

Although the death of the Hou Shizi of Yingchuan was an accident caused by the disaster of the pond fish, no one dared to pack the ticket, Zhou Shuyi really did not have any preparations in the northwest, but the one who killed his wife and the hundred households made the first move.

The Zhou family later declined, and Zhou Shuyi estimated that it would not end well. The Zhou family didn't do anything, they were all pitted to that point by Yingchuan Hou and Sun Ge Lao, and people like Zhou Shuyi who really did something could still end well? If something happens to her, Mrs. Ma is estimated to be implicated.

Haitang can only ask her brother Haijiao later, whether there is any follow-up news about the third room of the Zhou family in the previous life, and what happened to the second room of the Marquis Mansion in Yingchuan, Beijing. She only wants to know now, how to stop Zhou Shuyi from continuing to affect the entire Zhou family?

She thought that Zhou Shuyi was far away in the capital, and she and her brother should have no way to stop her from bringing the Hou Shizi of Yingchuan to the northwest. But where Yingchuan Hou will go after arriving in the northwest depends on the arrangement of the Zhou family. The Zhou family has to understand the thoughts of Mrs. Ma's mother and daughter first. Only when they first understand the malice of Mrs. Ma and Zhou Shuyi towards the Hou Shizi of Yingchuan will they understand how important the safety of that young man is.

If he still dies in the northwest and dies in the Zhou family's sphere of influence, even if the Zhou family has Tao Yue, an ally in the court, he will still offend another emperor's henchman, the Marquis of Yingchuan. The revenge of killing a son is not so easy to resolve. The Zhou family has connived at Zhou Shuyi for so many years, and has been sending her money and things, which is equivalent to supporting her actions in Beijing in disguise, and after the accident, the whole family has no idea about her plan, how can the Yingchuan Marquis Mansion believe it?

If the Zhou family wants the northwest frontier army to be stable and their own children to be safe and smooth, some people must be well controlled. Otherwise, no matter how much merit they make, no matter how much blood they shed, and no matter how many lives they sacrifice, they will not be able to stop someone behind them from desperately pulling hatred for them. Since they have already taken the first step in befriending Tao Yue, why not do more?

The Hai family's convoy finally arrived in Chang'an City before dark. They entered the city by Andingmen, and not far from the City God's Temple, where the Hai family's house in Chang'an was located.

At this time, the street is still full of people, very lively, every household has a lamp, the whole street is filled with the fragrance of food, which is also mixed with the smell of temple incense smoke, with the surrounding hawkers' shouting, parents shouting for their children to go home, forming a picture of the market full of fireworks in the world.

Haitang lifted the corner of the curtain of the car and looked out, feeling that Chang'an City was indeed more prosperous than the melon, Su, Gan, Liang, and Lan prefectures she had seen in the past, and the degree of prosperity could not be compared at all.

Listening to this familiar voice, Ma's whole person also relaxed, and yawned: "It's home!" After sitting in the car for half a day, my forehead and waist are sore. He cleared his throat again, feeling a little thirsty.

After chatting for so long on the road, the gossip is certainly pleasant mentally, and it is not boring at all, but it is too much to swallow. The large pot of tea they brought out from Bezhuang had bottomed out, and the tea stove used in the carriage had long since run out of charcoal. When she gets home, she has to pour two bowls of tea to moisten her throat, otherwise she will be dumb when she gets up tomorrow morning.

The convoy turned into an alley, and then Haitang heard the sound of Hai Changan and Cui Dazhuang talking in the car.

Hai Changan specially greeted the carriage, greeted his mother Ma Shi through the curtain, and said that his father had not yet arrived home, but the house had been cleaned up, the hot water and hot kang were boiled, and the food could be cooked at any time, and the mother could rest when she got home.

Ma praised his son with satisfaction, and sent him to see his wife and children later.

Haitang lifted the curtain on the other side and gave his brother a look.
