Chapter 486: Endgame

The Duchess of Zhenguo brought her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Saturday, and Ma Sufang Ma Shangyi was present, and even Zhou Ma, the current mother of the third room of the Zhou family, was very willing to contribute.

Together with Zhou Ma's sister Ma, several people worked together to pull Mrs. Ma back to the bedroom in the inner room and locked her up temporarily. The two girls who originally did rough work in the courtyard will continue to be responsible for taking care of Mrs. Ma's daily life, but a circle of healthy women guarding the door will be added outside the main house, and the number of guards will be increased on the periphery of the west courtyard. Mrs. Ma nominally lives in her own room, but in fact it is no different from being in prison. And this kind of life may not last a few days, maybe tonight or tomorrow, she will usher in her share of the drug.

Seeing that the couple of Zhenguo and Tu Rong were going to leave with everyone, Mrs. Ma also knew that her fate had basically been decided. How could she be willing to accept such a fate? Even if she couldn't rush out of the bedroom, she threw herself to the window and begged: "I didn't mean to!" When I was young, I was ignorant and deceived! It was the old Khan king of the Hu people who calculated against me! He dug a trap for me and calculated in every way. I'm so afraid of being exposed by him, I don't want to lose my good life in the Zhou family! I know I'm wrong, give me a chance! I know a lot of his secrets, and I can also help you calculate the spies of the Hu people, and cooperate with you to dig a trap for them, so that they will not come back-"

Unfortunately, her words could not touch the hearts of anyone present.

It has been two years since the old Khan of the Hu people died, and after several rounds of cleaning in Chang'an City, the ears, eyes and minions of the Sun family have been emptied, and it is impossible for the Hu people to have any remnants. If the Hu people send someone to inquire about the news in the future, it will be a big deal if the soldiers will come to block it, and the soil will be flooded, and there will be nothing to be afraid of. The people of Chang'an have long been accustomed to dealing with these troubles, and they still need the cooperation of a traitor to solve the secret hands of the Hu people?

Seeing that everyone didn't even stop, Mrs. Ma didn't take her words to heart at all, so she had to go to the soft persimmon she was most accustomed to holding: "Shigong!" I raised you so big, and raised my grandson for you, there is no credit and hard work, right?! No matter how bad I treated you, I never hurt your life, and I also let you pass the test at a young age, you can't count these responsibilities on my head because you were excluded by the Sun family and had a bad career! Didn't you always say that you should honor me? Could it be that now that outsiders say a few words, you will no longer honor me?! Do you remember what your father told you on his deathbed? And how did you swear in front of him?! If I just let people die like this, you will come to the Nine Springs, what face do you have to meet your father?! ”

Zhou Shigong hesitated and stopped. Zhou Mashi hurriedly grabbed him: "Master, don't listen to that mother-in-law's nonsense!" The old lady was deceived by her back then, and she didn't know what bad things she had done, thinking that she was really a good wife and mother, so she let you be filial to her. If the old lady knows what kind of person she is, and he is afraid that he can't slash her with a knife, how can he blame you?! Don't fall for her! Now it is not their own family who gives her medicine, it is the emperor and the queen mother! ”

Zhou Shigong thought about it, so he continued to move forward.

Seeing this, Mrs. Ma hurriedly cried: "You should have pity on your brother!" Let me see him again! We haven't seen each other for many years, and even if I die, Shicheng is always a good boy and a good brother. He has always respected your brother the most. I asked him to fight with you, but he refused, and took the initiative to go to Minzhou Wei, refusing to come back every year, I don't know how much suffering he suffered. He was raised by me in Chang'an City, when did he suffer like that? But in order to protect you, I am willing to stay in that kind of poor country for twenty years. You can't help him with anything, it's enough to be sorry for him, can you still bear to see him, and you can't even see your mother for the last time?! ”

This time, Zhou Shigong really broke the defense. It's true that the stepmother is a bad person, but the younger brother she gave birth to really doesn't have anything to do with him......

He hesitated to look up at Zhen Guogong in front of him, who stopped and turned to look at him: "What do you think?" ”

What did he think?

Zhou Shigong hesitated: "I have actually sent a letter to Minzhou." Seseong is on his way back...... It is estimated that it will be three to five days. If he could see his mother one last time and find out what her mother had done in the past, he wouldn't have misunderstood, or resented anyone, right? ”

Thinking about her sister Zhou Shuyi is now trapped in her husband's house, it is estimated that it is impossible to return. Zhou Shicheng is likely to never see this compatriot in his life, and if he can't even send his biological mother on the last ride, it would be too pitiful.

Zhen Guogong has no impression of Zhou Shicheng's cousin, he only remembers that he is a person with average talent but is still loyal and honest. Since he had never done as evil as his biological mother, and Zhou Shigong wanted to intercede for his brother, Zhen Guogong was not too ruthless: "You decide for yourself." If you can ask Tu Tongzhi and Ma Shangyi for their consent, I have no opinion. ”

After saying this, he took his wife and children and left. Tu Rong glanced at Zhou Shigong with a smile, knowing that the biggest problem of the current head of the third room of the Zhou family was that he was soft-hearted and lacked courage, and he was easy to be pinched by his stepmother. However, this is the Zhou family's housework, why should he bother as an outsider? The emperor had a decree that he should live in harmony with the Zhou family. As long as the Zhou family didn't want him to let Mrs. Ma go, he didn't mind selling the Zhou family's favor.

It's just that this matter will be truthfully reported to him later, and he will never hide a word from the emperor. At that time, how the emperor will look at the people in the third room of the Zhou family is not something he can predict. Anyway, Zhou Shigong is not valued by the emperor, and his career in this life has come to an end many years ago.

Zhen Guogong and Tu Rong both acquiesced, and Zhou Shigong turned around and told Mrs. Ma with confidence: "Shicheng is already on the way back to Chang'an, and he will be there in a few days." You can also prepare what clothes and jewelry you want to wear on the day of taking the medicine. What you did was ugly, even for the sake of my father's face, I don't want people outside to know what you did. I'll still take care of the aftermath for you when the time comes, but I can't do it too decently, it's pretty much enough. I will not bury you next to my father, so that he will not be at peace with the old man under the Nine Springs. You can think of a quiet place. When Shicheng comes back, let him do it for you. You've never thought of me as a son, and you don't want to see my face in the endgame, right? ”

After saying this, he walked away without looking back. Zhou Ma glared at Mrs. Ma fiercely, threw down the sentence "You're cheap", and took the eldest sister, granddaughter, niece and granddaughter away.

As for the mood in which Mrs. Ma listened to their words and watched them leave, no one cared.

Begonia fell at the end, looked back at her again, only to feel that she looked like a candle in the wind, and her expression was blank, as if it would melt away in the next second.

Begonia only felt that there was something heavy in her heart, and it melted away. The resentment caused by the abrupt interruption of the previous life gradually dissipated in the air.

The corners of her mouth curled slightly, she snorted at Old Madam Ma with her head held high, and walked out of the west courtyard without looking back.
