Chapter 202: Onlookers Eat Melons
Zhou Ma helped his granddaughter Zhou Yijun to the West Courtyard.
Haijiao decided to follow Zhou Shigong to escort the car to the Zhenguo Mansion, which could be regarded as strengthening the power to take care of Zhang Pinggui.
Zhou Shigong naturally would not object. He is still in a mess in his heart, and he really wants to find someone in the know to talk to him to soothe the anger and entanglement in his heart, and he also needs to find someone to talk about many things that he can't understand for the time being. The butlers and guards didn't know much about him, so they couldn't share his worries. Haijiao is willing to accompany him to the Zhenguo Mansion, of course, it is better. In front of his cousin Zhen Guogong, if he encounters a question that he can't answer, Haijiao, the junior who has guessed the sinister intentions of Zhou Shuyi and the Sun family from beginning to end, can speak on his behalf.
Haitang discussed it with her brother and decided to stay in the third room of the Zhou family.
As soon as the prisoner is interrogated, there are reefs and old military divisions to preside, and there is the old marshal of Zhenguo Gong Zhou, there is a high probability that there will be other generals, and it is not easy for her to show up as a little girl, even if she follows to the Zhenguo Mansion, it is very likely that she will be invited by Zhou Wenjun or Mrs. Wednesday to the back house to talk, so why did she make this trip? Grandmother Ma has already sent a message to Mrs. Wednesday, and she will be able to go to the Zhenguo Mansion as a guest tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and it will be no worse than this day's work.
Second, what she should say and speculate about has basically been said, and Haijiao, a reborn who knows what happened in her previous life, is involved, so she doesn't need to be too involved in the follow-up.
Since she followed her family to Chang'an, she met the Jin family murder and Jin Jiashu, the survivor, before she entered the city, followed by the killer and the inner ghost of the border army, not only to solve the conspiracy of Mrs. Ma to forcibly seize the marriage property for her aunt and grandmother, but also to find out the truth about Zhou Shuyi's attempt to assassinate the Hou Shizi of Yingchuan in the previous life, and clear the hidden dangers for the Zhou family. This pile is one by one, but it costs brain cells! In order to clarify everything, she and her brother Haijiao deduced the most trustworthy version, and then revealed it to the bitter masters in the previous life, it was very hard, okay? Now that she can be lazy, why should she be too rolled?
In her previous life, she was so rolled, and she didn't end well. In this life, as long as life is passable and the crisis can be solved, she is willing to worry less.
She spent so much effort to cultivate her brother's ability to use his brain on the reef, wasn't it just so that she could lie flat?
Haitang and Haijiao said that they would wait for him to come back from the Zhenguo Mansion and go home together. Before that, they could send Ma Changnian back to report to his grandmother Ma first, saying that his aunt and grandmother Zhou Ma had left a meal, so let her not worry.
The people from the Zhenguo Mansion have not yet come, and Haijiao has to stay in the main courtyard, chatting in a low voice with Zhou Shigong, while staring at the carriage outside the courtyard gate, beware of idle people approaching. Haitang said goodbye to her brother for the time being, followed her aunt Zhou Ma and her newly met little sister Zhou Yijun, plus a colored silk, to the three-room West Road house of the Zhou family, and watched the middle-aged bear child Zhou Jinpu and his stepgrandmother Mrs. Ma make a good scene.
Before they arrived at the West Courtyard, they heard the sound of quarreling from a distance, which sounded like Zhou Jinpu was arguing with the henchmen and grandmothers around Mrs. Ma, and the quarrel was very intense.
Zhou Ma's pace slowed down involuntarily, and his heart was entangled.
She is happy to share her husband's worries, and she also wants to see the jokes between her stepmother-in-law and her unfilial stepson, but she is afraid of being drawn into their disputes. Judging from past experience, once she appears in front of her stepmother-in-law and stepson, there is a high probability that she will be targeted by them together.
Although she has been scolded for more than 30 years, today, her granddaughter Yijun and Xiaomei's granddaughter Begonia are present. As an elder, if she is scolded in front of two girls, then she will have no dignity at all......
Haitang noticed Zhou Ma's hesitation, so she asked with a smile: "Why don't you seem to hear Old Madam Ma's voice?" It was the servants who quarreled with Zhou Jinpu. ”
Caijuan ran over quickly, whispered a few words to a servant woman who was watching, and then turned around and reported: "The eldest young master just made a big fuss, and now the grandmothers around the old lady are teaching him a lesson, scolding him very badly, and the old lady didn't stop him." ”
Zhou Mashi coughed: "Stay away, don't let the old lady see it, so that she won't say that she will look at her sneakily and laugh at her." I don't want to be supported by her to confront Zhou Jinpu. ”
Haitang and Zhou Yijun responded obediently, and the four of them walked to the Yongdao intersection near the gate of the West Courtyard, where they could clearly hear what happened in the West Courtyard, and the people in the West Courtyard could not see them through the two walls, which could be said to be a safe and good place for onlookers to eat melons. Zhou Ma suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
The scolding in the west courtyard had already attracted many onlookers, and Mrs. Ma still did not stop her henchmen from scolding her step-eldest grandson.
The grandmothers directly scolded Zhou Jinpu as an unfilial waste, the latter has probably never been scolded so harshly in his life, not to mention that the people who scolded him have always praised him for being sensible, smart, capable, and filial before today...... They used to be so good to him, but today they turned their faces away from anyone, and the step-grandmother Madame, who had always claimed to love him the most, turned a blind eye to this, and just sat on the top coldly, with no intention of stopping it at all.
Zhou Jinpu understood, it turned out that his father was really right, and his stepgrandmother had been just using him all along. She just pretended to care about him, but in fact, she didn't have any sincerity at all! If she really loves him, how can she let her subordinates be rude to him?!
Thinking like this, Zhou Jinpu became more and more resentful in his heart.
His wife whispered a few words in his ear, and he came to his senses, and cried out, since his step-grandmother had so much despise him, and that she had done her best to have a clear conscience with him, let him return his dead mother's dowry. Now that he has a wife and children, there is no shortage of people to take care of the property, so he doesn't have to look down on his stepgrandmother to worry about it.
When Mrs. Ma heard this, her face changed for the first time: "Evil obstacles! I knew that you would grow into such an unfilial and rude appearance today, I shouldn't have left you by my side to take care of you in the first place! After years of hard work, I have fed the dogs! He pointed to the nose of Zhou Jinpu's wife and scolded, "You slut! In the past, I pretended to be filial and virtuous, but I have always hidden treachery in my heart, but today I can see you clearly! ”
Zhou Jinpu's wife said aggrievedly: "Old lady, granddaughter-in-law has no other meaning. Xianggong is angry now, and I also think that he has misunderstood you, as long as the misunderstanding is resolved. Isn't it just a little bit of marriage? The old lady is wealthy, and she still cares about that little thing? If you sit up straight and return your things to your father-in-law, he will naturally know your innocence and love, so how can he be misunderstood? You have always loved your husband, and you will be willing to reconcile with him. When the time comes, the ancestors and grandchildren will be in harmony, and what will matter who will take care of those industries? ”
One said, "Great-grandmother, don't be angry, my father just misunderstood", and the other said, "Great-grandmother should enjoy more happiness when she is old, and the annoying chores are left to my father to worry about. As soon as the sisters sang and harmonized, Zhou Lianghou also came to make a share: "Great-grandmother, don't be angry, my mother and sisters just hope that my father can understand your love and hard work, and he is thinking about you!" ”
Mrs. Ma was so angry that her face turned red, and she couldn't break free of the three children, so she cried loudly, shouting that she wanted to go to the ancestral hall to cry for the old lady.
She really shed tears, crying vividly.
Her mothers hurriedly surrounded her, tore away the three children, and while comforting her, she cried with the old lady, and some people said that they were going to ask the clan elder to administer justice and punish the eldest young master, and some people suspected that the wife was sowing discord.
Zhou Mashi suddenly shivered when he heard this, and hurriedly took the hands of the two girls: "Hurry up and go, don't let them see it, otherwise the fire will burn on the forehead in a while!" ”
