Chapter 13: The Death of the Head of the Zhou Family
Cooking smoke quickly packed up the baggage, staged a disgusted scene with Huang Ye, hugged things and cried to Zhou Yu's side, knelt outside Zhou Yu's yard and begged Zhou Yu to take him in.
Zhou Yu and Aunt Mu saw that they were in a fog, but they thought that Aunt Begonia had helped them yesterday, so they left a cooking smoke.
About an hour later, Zhou Tong took people to see Zhou Hao in Pear Flower Garden, and found that Zhou Hao was dead of anger, and Aunt Begonia was nowhere to be found, and suddenly the entire Zhou Mansion was earthquaked.
Zhou Tong clutched his pounding heart, excited and excited, "Someone!" Aunt Begonia poisoned the head of the family, quickly go to the government to report the case and get someone, you guys, hurry up and search, dig three feet into the ground and catch Aunt Begonia! ”
As long as you catch Aunt Begonia before the official mansion, you will die without proof if you kill her.
The Zhou Mansion reported the funeral as quickly as possible, and the people of the entire Cloud City knew that the head of the Zhou family was dead.
Inside Shoukang Garden.
Zhou Shengxi couldn't help it, "Mother! The boulder that has been pressing on our heads for so many years has finally been removed! After the eldest brother is buried, the Zhou family will be ours! ”
As for Zhou Zhao, it was not in Zhou Sheng's consideration at all, and he could let people kill him halfway.
Old Madam Zhou had a smug smile on her face, obviously excited, but she pretended to be reserved and said: "Don't be too happy too early, you go to set up the mourning hall, entertain those clansmen of the Zhou family, don't let people gossip." ”
"Yes!" Zhou Sheng went out happily.
As soon as he left, Mrs. Gao came on Tuesday, she mainly wanted to ask Zhou Xi's relatives, before they had a total of Zhou Xi's identity, low-key marriage to other places, after all, it was his own daughter, Gao was reluctant to marry his daughter far away, now the head of the Zhou family is dead, the entire Zhou family is a second room, she wants to ask Mrs. Zhou to take back her life.
As soon as they arrived at the courtyard, Gao saw that Mrs. Zhou's door was closed, and Mama Qi didn't know where they went, and there was no one to pass on.
She was about to step forward and knock on the door suspiciously, when she suddenly heard a voice from inside the house, "Do you really plan to let Zhou Sheng inherit the position of the head of the Zhou family?" ”
Old Madam Zhou sighed, quite helpless, "Tong'er, your brother is the rightful son of the Zhou family, and the position of the head of the family can only be given to him, but don't worry, the Zhou family's property will be secretly transferred to your name, and others will not find out if you don't know it." ”
"Humph! I have been angry in the Zhou family for so many years, and now that Zhou Hao is dead, you still want me to wait! Mother, am I not as victorious as Zhou in your heart? ”
"Nonsense! You are my own son! It was the first child I had given birth to with all my hard work, and no one could get past you! But the current situation does not allow us to be willful! For the sake of glory and wealth, you have to endure it again! It won't take a few years, you give your mother five years, no, three years, as long as three years, the entire Zhou family's industry is yours! As for the false name of the head of the Zhou family, don't do it! ”
Old Madam Zhou's words frightened Gao almost screamed, and as soon as she was excited, she made a sound.
"Who?" Zhou Tong quickly from the door.
Gao fled in a panic.
Old Madam Zhou looked at the door viciously, "Go!" Whoever kills it! ”
Gao was stopped by Zhou Tong before he could run back to Xiyuan, and his face turned white with fright, "I didn't hear anything, I don't know anything, don't kill me."
"You hear me!" Zhou Tong's eyes darkened, and he threw Gao into the pool.
Seeing Gao Shi constantly fluttering in the water, and finally sinking silently, he stood for a while, making sure that Gao Shi would not survive before turning to leave.
When Gao's body floats up, others will only think that she has fallen into the water, and will not suspect that it is murder.
Zhou Tong solved the Gao family and went back to Shoukang Yuan.
Old Madam Zhou's face turned pale after learning that the person outside the door was Gao, "Sure enough, it's not blessed!" Let's find a lovely wife for your brother! ”
Gao's mother's family is average, after all, the second son of the Zhou family she married back then could not inherit the position of the head of the family, and now that Zhou Sheng is about to become the head of the Zhou family, she naturally has to marry a woman with a more noble background.
Mrs. Zhou thought about it after being depressed for a short time, and even felt that God was helping her.
When night fell, the coffin and Zhou Hao's "remains" were placed in the mourning hall, and only Aunt Mu and Zhou Yu were watching.
The mother and daughter were still waiting for Zhou Hao to come back to call the shots for them, but they didn't expect this result, Zhou Tong said that Aunt Begonia poisoned Zhou Hao, but the two didn't want to believe it, if Aunt Begonia really wanted Zhou Hao's life, she wouldn't help them, let alone let them take in the smoke before the incident, there must be something greasy here.
After suffering so many losses, the two also learned to be obedient and did not dare to act rashly.
In the middle of the night, the entire Zhou Mansion was silent, and the candles in the mourning hall were flickering, which seemed extremely infiltrating.
Aunt Mu and Zhou Yu were drowsy, a burst of green smoke blew, and the two fell asleep completely after a while.
The cooker came in with food, put the food on the table, and threw a bamboo tube into it when he passed the coffin, and then went over to wake up the sleeping Aunt Mu and Zhou Yu, "Auntie, second miss, eat something and cushion your stomach." ”
Zhou Yu's eyes were red, she shook her head, looked at the smoke and asked in a low voice, "Aunt Haitang really killed her father?" ”
Cooking Yan made a silent motion, "Second Miss, don't cry, you are a blessed person, don't worry about anything." ”
"What a blessing! After the old man's funeral period is over, the second lady is not going to get married! Aunt Mu looked depressed.
Now Mrs. Zhou doesn't target them anymore because Zhou Hao is dead and can't spare time, coupled with filial piety, Zhou Yu's family affairs must be delayed, and their mother and daughter only have time to breathe, and they can't change the status quo.
Cooking smoke didn't dare to say anything, for fear of saying too much and making mistakes.
When she fetched food for the two of them, there was a rustling sound in the mourning hall, and Aunt Mu's hair rose, "Did you hear any strange sounds just now?" ”
Zhou Yu shrank to Aunt Mu's side in fear, "I heard it too!" ”
"It can't be haunted!" Aunt Mu's expression was more terrifying than a ghost.
Zhou Yu was about to cry with fright.
The smoke tugged at the corners of her mouth and said, "Second Miss, auntie, you don't have to scare yourself, maybe the wind is too strong tonight." ”
Aunt Mu opened her mouth, and wanted to ask if the head of the house was dead and blind, and the ghost came back to ask for her life, but before she could say anything, she saw a white shadow flying over the beam, and the mother and daughter immediately howled at the top of their voices, "Ghost! There are ghosts! ”
Zhou Tong rushed to the mourning hall with people, and saw that the embarrassed Aunt Mu and Zhou Yu's faces were dark, "How can you let you shout and scream in the mourning hall, and there are no rules!" ”
"There really are ghosts! We've all seen it! Steward Zhou, go and report to the master, there are really ghosts here! ”
Zhou Tong saw that the mother and daughter were so frightened that they couldn't speak, so he immediately looked at the mourning hall and cautiously ordered: "Go and invite the old lady and the second master, I want to see what is pretending to be a ghost!" ”
