Chapter 484: Remorse

However, Zhou Shuyi had nothing to hide at this time.

She has almost said everything she can say before, and the rest are some side branches, or things that she knows but doesn't take to heart, and Yingchuan Hou's father and son don't know. If they don't ask, she naturally won't remember.

However, after the father and son of the Marquis of Yingchuan saw the letter of the old Khan of the Hu people from the ancestral hall, they knew more details that they did not know before.

For example, the old Khan King of the Hu people used his henchmen as a spy and killed him, sent him to the capital of Great Chu, and guided the people of the Sun family to dig out the secrets of Zhou Shuyi and Mrs. Ma, and then hit the entire Zhou family, but this plan never succeeded in the end. The Hu family did attract the attention of the Sun family, and also told the Sun family the clue that Zhou Shuyi and Mrs. Ma's mother and daughter were there, but the Sun family only used the channel of the mother and daughter to achieve their own goals, but they never used it to deal with the Zhou family.

So what happened to this Hu Ren spy?

The news that Zhou Shuyi knew was that when the Hu spy had just disappeared, she was also worried that the other party would be caught by the court and betray herself, but the people of the Sun family contacted her and told her that the person had fallen into their hands.

The Sun family claimed that they caught the Hu spy and would hand it over to their own son Sun Yongbai, so that he could hand it over and accumulate credit, but in order to ensure that this Hu spy would not say what he shouldn't say, after he handed over to Jinyiwei, he would soon die, and on the surface, it would seem like he had taken poison, which would not arouse anyone's suspicion. The Sun family claimed that they did this to protect Zhou Shuyi, and from then on, the person who mastered Zhou Shuyi's handle was no longer a Hu spy, but the Sun family.

Obviously it was a threat, but the Sun family's words were clever, and Zhou Shuyi actually trusted them because of this, and since then she has become more and more willing to associate with the people of the Sun family, not only helping them secretly buy hot oil, but also voluntarily handing over the wealth of her mother's family in exchange for the other party's promise, saying that once the prince of the Sun family becomes the new monarch, she will help Zhou Shuyi's son inherit the title of Marquis of Yingchuan.

When the grandson of the prince of the Sun family died, the Sun family continued to make promises in the name of their son-in-law Ji Wang Shizi, and Zhou Shuyi also continued to believe it. Even if she knew that her behavior was to cut herself off from her mother's family, she had no intention of changing her mind.

It is said that the Sun family still has female relatives who privately told Zhou Shuyi that when the new monarch succeeds to the throne in the future, the queen of the middle palace will naturally be the daughter of the Sun family, and the eldest prince must also be the daughter of the Sun family, but as long as the grandson of the Sun family becomes the prince, the Sun family does not mind helping Zhou Shuyi's daughter become the concubine of the new monarch, and it doesn't matter if she even has children.

The daughter of the Sun family also said to Zhou Shuyi: "By then, your mother's family will no longer be able to accuse you of anything, right?" At that time, it will be the turn of the Zhou family to come and see you and your mother's faces. ”

Although Zhou Shuyi didn't confirm whether the other party was serious when she said this, she was still quite moved in her heart. Although she did not mention this matter to her husband, she still intended to fight for the marriage of her son and the daughter of the Sun family, so as to increase the feasibility of her daughter's entry into the palace. There are people who are well-connected to test her tone in her daughter's marriage, and she also found all kinds of excuses to refuse, and said to her husband Zeng Er: "Our husband and wife regard Chunlin's daughter as a pearl in the palm of their hands, why rush to say kiss to her?" We can choose slowly, and we must find a perfect husband for her. The second master Zeng was persuaded by her.

Now that she has just woken up from her big dream, Zhou Shuyi looks back on the past and only feels that she is really blinded by lard!

In order to ensure that her son can become the prince, Sun Guifei showed no mercy to the princes and concubines in the harem. If an aunt is so jealous and domineering, how can a niece be a virtuous and generous person? The words of the daughter of the Sun family were just used to coax her. When the prince of King Ji succeeds to the throne, the Sun family will only try their best to ensure that all the heirs under his knees are born by the daughter of the Sun family, how can he allow the daughter of another family to give birth to a prince?!

Not to mention, the daughter of the Sun family just mentioned this matter to her during a private chat. The other party is neither the housewife of the Sun family, nor is he qualified to decide on real major matters, nor is he formally committed in front of others. When the matter came to the end, the other party repented and insisted that there was no such thing, what could she do with others? At that time, her daughter's life was delayed, and she had nowhere to complain.

Zhou Shuyi cried and fainted several times in front of Yingchuan Hou's father and son. Yingchuan Hou's father and son had to call the second master Zeng to take care of his wife. But after the latter learned the truth, he no longer had any pity for his wife, and he didn't want to save her at all.

It turned out that his wife married him, not out of love at first sight who didn't care about his status and title, but purely wanted to use him to enter the ancestral hall of the Zeng family and look for evidence of a crime many years ago. But he easily believed his wife's words, and in order to fulfill his wife's wishes, he did not hesitate to calculate his sibling brother and nephew, and almost killed his nephew. He regretted that he had been so stunned by his wife that he could no longer bear to live with her. He handed over his wife to his brother and sister-in-law, and left them at their disposal, and he planned to take his children to Jiangnan to take office. If the news of his wife's death came from his family in the capital one day, he would put on a three-day filial piety for his wife, and then completely leave her behind.

Yingchuan Hou wrote down his brother's words very carefully, and also described Zhou Shuyi's devastated and painful appearance after hearing about it, as well as the cold appearance of Zhou Shuyi's children with resentment on their faces when they came to say goodbye to their mother. All this was specially told to Mrs. Ma, so that she could know what she had done.

It's just that Mrs. Ma hasn't said anything yet, and Zhou Shigong can't bear it.

Although he has a lot of grievances and dissatisfaction with Zhou Shuyi's younger sister, after learning about her life of being manipulated and manipulated by her stepmother, he can't help but feel sorry for her. He looked at his stepmother's gaze even colder: "The old lady is satisfied now?" You're all responsible! ”

Mrs. Ma said with a numb expression: "I was also deceived by someone...... Shuyi was deceived by someone else again...... Isn't it because Shuyi is too stupid that things will turn out to be where they are now?! If she had been smarter and smarter, she would not have been calculated so badly...... How did I hurt this?! ”

She raised her eyes to look at Zhou Shigong, who was angry: "Don't blame me for patronizing." There aren't a few really smart people in your family. If you are stupid as a father, how smart can your children be? I shouldn't have married your dad back then! If it weren't for marrying him...... If I hadn't recognized the adoptive mother of the Ma family, I wouldn't have exposed my whereabouts at all, and I wouldn't have been calculated by the Hu people, and I would have escaped safely and lived a good life! ”

Zhou Shigong was furious: "You actually have the face to say such a thing?!" ”

As if she hadn't heard his words, Mrs. Ma closed her eyes and shed two lines of tears: "I knew that this was the case, when the prince of Pingxi came to chase me, I should have gone back with him." He doesn't know the truth, and he has a deep affection for me, as long as I nod my head, the marriage contract can be renewed after it is withdrawn. As long as I marry into the Pingxi Hou Mansion, my father and mother will not say more things that should not be said, and I can continue to be a rich and decent lady of the clan...... Even if Hu Ren gave birth to a good skin, he could not be trusted after all. Why am I dizzy? I want to stay with him for a long time?! It's all the cunning and deceitful words of the guilty man who deceived me......"

Tu Rong coughed twice, interrupting Old Madam Ma's conjecture: "Old Madam, that's impossible. At the end of the letter, the Marquis of Yingchuan mentioned that the first Marquis of Yingchuan had passed down a secret to his descendants, saying that he had made a big mistake back then, and fortunately he was reminded to make amends, but his father resigned because of this, and died depressed. After the first Marquis of Yingchuan revitalized the family, he left a family motto, prohibiting any descendants from bringing their wives and concubines into the ancestral hall, and strictly prohibiting revealing authentic secrets to heirs other than heirs, which is a lesson learned from his own experience. ”

Tu Rong paused, and looked at the old lady of Shangma in disbelief: "He knew the truth back then, and it was impossible for him to marry you." ”
