Mrs. Zhuang woke up from a nap, and frowned deeply after hearing the report from her subordinates.

"Can you see clearly? Wasn't King Jing the one who sent the princess back?"

The subordinate said solemnly: "His Royal Highness King Jing often comes to the mansion, and the villain knows that it is impossible to admit his mistake, and the person who sent the princess back is so tight, it can never be His Royal Highness King Jing." ”

After thinking about it, the subordinate said: "A few days ago, the princess came back from King Jing's mansion, and someone sent her off, and the night was too dark for the villain to see clearly, but judging from the carriage, it looks like the same person." ”

When Mrs. Zhuang heard this, her face was very ugly.

She had vaguely guessed who the man was.

After so many years, he still hasn't given up?

That's right, he has been single for many years and has not married, how can he die.

"Let's go down." Old Madam Zhuang waved away and wanted to be quiet alone.

In the evening, Zhuang Yun returned home from school, and Mrs. Zhuang asked someone to call him over.

"Grandmother." Zhuang Yun greeted respectfully.

Old Madam Zhuang beckoned with love on her face: "Yun'er, come and sit." ”

Zhuang Yun went to sit down beside Mrs. Zhuang according to her words, and Mrs. Zhuang withdrew her maidservant, leaving only the grandparents and grandchildren in the house.

"Yun'er, last time I went to celebrate your uncle's birthday, did you have a good time?" Old man Zhuang asked gossips.

Zhuang Yun said: "I went too late, I didn't play anything, and I only came back with dinner." ”

"Oh? Who are the people who share the meal? Do you know Yun'er? Old Madam Zhuang asked sideways.

Zhuang Yun shook his head and reported all the people at the dinner table that day.

When she heard that Zhou Boxu was indeed among them, Old Madam Zhuang's eyes tightened.

But in front of Zhuang Yun, Old Madam Zhuang didn't show any difference, and still smiled and asked casually: "Does Yun'er like that Uncle Zhou?" ”

Zhuang Yun's brows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't answer for a while.

Although he has seen Zhou Boxu, he has not had much contact with him, and he can't talk about whether he likes it or not.

For Zhuang Yun, Zhou Boxu is just a strange elder.

Old Madam Zhuang also thought of this, and asked instead, "Did he send you back that night?" ”

"Hmm." Zhuang Yun nodded.

The guess in her heart was confirmed, and the smile on Mrs. Zhuang's face couldn't be maintained, and gradually faded.

What she had been fearing for years had finally happened.

Not wanting to affect Zhuang Yun, Mrs. Zhuang smiled reluctantly: "Yun'er go back and do your homework." ”

"The grandson is leaving." Zhuang Yun got up and left.

Looking at Zhuang Yun, who is sensible and intelligent, Mrs. Zhuang is struggling very much.

At that time, the dealer was bent on marrying Yu Lan, thinking that if there was an eventuality, with Yu Lan and the royal family relying on training, the banker's bloodline would be able to grow up without worry, and make contributions to revitalize the banker.

But if Yu Lan remarries, what will Zhuang Yun do? What about the bookmaker?

Privately, Mrs. Zhuang didn't want Yu Lan to remarry, and guarded Zhuang Yun and the Zhuang family all her life.

But logically speaking, Yu Lan has been guarding for eight years, and it is natural to remarry, and she is powerless to stop it.

However, thinking of her husband and only son who died for the Jokhang War, Mrs. Zhuang's heart was full of resentment.

The dealer is full of loyalty, and he tried his best to fight for the battlefield for the Zhao, and in the end, people died and died, and they wanted to end up with the annihilation of the clan?

She can point to the sky and say that the dealer is worthy of Dazhao and the monarch and the people.

She just wants Yu Lan to guard the only bit of blood of the dealer, is this request too much?

Mrs. Zhuang sat alone in the room, her thoughts were surging and contemplating for a long time, her face was struggling with pain, and a tear rolled down.

Yu Lan is bitter, and she is not bitter.

It gets dark very quickly.

When Zhuang Yun returned to the Ruihe Courtyard, where he lived with Yu Lan, the outside of the courtyard was already brightly lit.

Yu Lan checked Zhuang Yun's homework today under the lamp, and when he saw Zhuang Yun coming back, he asked about what he had learned today.

Zhuang Yun answered one by one.

The maidservant packed up the bookcase, and when Zhuang Yun was doing her homework, Yu Lan took the book and accompanied her.

After a short time, dinner was set, and the mother and son went to eat together.

Seeing the food on the table, Zhuang Yun said: "Grandmother is a little strange today. ”

Yu Lan, who was picking up vegetables, paused, and wondered: "How strange? ”

Zhuang Yun said: "Grandmother asked me who there were at my uncle's birthday banquet last time, and asked me if I liked Uncle Zhou. ”

The dish that Yu Lan picked up fell back on the plate.

When Zhuang Yun saw it, he asked a little uneasily: "Mother, what did I say wrong?" ”

Yu Lan shook his head, put the vegetables in Zhuang Yun's bowl again, and said, "No, Yun'er just told the truth, and there was nothing wrong." ”

She knew that she couldn't hide it from Zhou Boxu, and she didn't think about hiding it.

Because she wants to be with Zhou Boxu, she must pass the level of Old Madam Zhuang.

"Mother, why does grandmother ask me if I like Uncle Zhou or not?" Zhuang Yun asked the doubts in his heart.

There were only two maidservants waiting in the hall, Yu Lan had no scruples, and said directly: "Because my mother likes him." ”

Zhuang Yun is already a big child, and he is smart and sharp, Yu Lan doesn't want to hide it from him.

Their mother and son have been dependent on each other for so many years, and everything should be faced together.

Zhuang Yun was stunned and unprepared.

Yu Lan turned his head to stare at Zhuang Yun seriously, and said with a little apprehension: "If I am with Uncle Zhou, will Yun'er agree?" ”

Zhuang Yun's little face was calm, and he didn't know how to answer.

Yu Lan didn't force him, and took a warm smile: "Don't be in a hurry to answer, let's eat first." ”

Although Zhuang Yun is only eight years old, he is precocious. Although he could not fully understand the affairs of adults, he also knew that this matter was important and could not be answered at will.

Halfway through the meal, Zhuang Yun suddenly asked, "Mother cried that day, but was bullied by Uncle Zhou?" ”

Yu Lan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then laughed and said: "It's not bullying, it's moving." ”

This matter has to be explained to Zhuang Yun well, so as not to cause misunderstanding and make him disgusted with last week.

After listening to Yu Lan's serious and solemn explanation, Zhuang Yun stopped talking again.

It took him a while before he said, "Does that mother like my father?" ”

Since Zhuang Yun can remember, he has rarely heard Yu Lan mention his father, and even when he took the initiative to ask, Yu Lan always said those few words.

"Your father is a loyal, patriotic, heroic, brave, righteous, majestic and admirable general......"

Sure enough, it was these words again, and Zhuang Yun was familiar with them.

Zhuang Yun interrupted Yu Lan and said, "Mother, what I'm asking is that you like your father?" ”

Yu Lan was stunned, looking at Zhuang Yun clean and pure, not allowing her to escape her perfunctory gaze, she was silent.

After thinking about it carefully, Yu Lan said in a condensed voice: "He is a hero, and I respect him very much." But the emotional thing barely came, and I didn't get along with him for a long time, I didn't know him well, and I didn't like it to the point. ”

Zhuang Heng is very good, so good that she forcibly asks for marriage, and she can't hold a grudge against him.

If he hadn't died in battle, she would have lived with him all her life.

But Zhuang Heng died, and Yu Lan's heart was forever occupied by Zhou Boxu.

For Zhuang Heng, Yu Lan only respects.

This night, Yu Lan treated Zhuang Yun as an adult and answered Zhuang Yun's questions seriously and sincerely.

After Zhuang Yun heard this, he seemed to have grown up a lot suddenly.
