Zhang Shou had just helped Zhu Tingfang in, leaving Zhu Ying standing there in a daze, in order to let the eldest lady calm down; but now that he had almost understood the situation on his brother-in-law's side, and found out that the person was actually fine, and that Zhu Er, his legitimate brother from the same mother, was there to take care of Zhu Tingfang, of course he had to turn around and go back to find Zhu Ying.
Otherwise, even if we are sure that my brother-in-law is safe and sound... what if his fiancée flies away
Sure enough, when he hurried back to the front yard, he saw Zhu Ying wipe her eyes with her sleeves, then suddenly turned around and walked towards the gate of the county government office. He was secretly glad that he had caught up with her quickly, and hurriedly called Yingying. Seeing that the young lady first stopped, then continued to walk out in a huff, even faster, he could only chase after her.
"Yingying, where are you going?"
"Didn't you just ignore me and help big brother walk away?" After replying in a temper, Zhu Ying glanced at Zhang Shou's face, which looked calm. She couldn't say anything bad, so after a while she whispered, "I'll find a place to vent my anger and calm down, so that big brother won't call me willful again! You might even call me willful!"
"How could I say you are willful? I know you are angry that your elder brother doesn't cherish you."
Hearing Zhang Shou say this, Zhu Ying could only snort in hatred, "That's right! Even if you say that Big Brother thinks I'm getting married, so he thinks I'm willful, childish and immature all day long, and that I'll be disliked by you in the future, he won't be able to vent his anger on me all the time, and he'll be worried about gains and losses all day long... But he shouldn't hide everything from me. I'm not that talkative, and I won't ruin his plans!"
"Your elder brother came to Cangzhou with me under the order of the emperor. He didn't even tell me. Even Du Heng only informed him at the last minute and forced him to come. How could he reveal the secret to you? You are angry that he hid it from you... But you should know that many men in the world are like this. They are either indifferent or lazy at home, and they are either desperate or decisive outside."
Hearing Zhang Shou praising his elder brother so highly, Zhu Ying's anger finally subsided a little, but he was still a little unhappy: "It's obviously safer, why do we have to fight like this! Can't we just let Du Heng go and take down those people... Besides, Uncle Hua is elusive, he might be able to take down all of them by himself."
"If they don't take action, even if they arrest all the people, what crime will they be charged with? To put it bluntly, I think your elder brother intends to kill people, and he wants to have a deterrent effect by killing them all at once. Anyway, they are definitely not the emperor's men, so no matter which side they are on, they can only swallow their anger and curse your elder brother for losing such a group of assassins."
"Pfft... draw a circle and curse... Ah Shou, you talk so funny!"
Although she knew it was just a satire, Zhu Ying still tilted her head and imagined the hilarious scene of the mastermind drawing circles and cursing people, and couldn't help laughing. With Zhang Shou's explanation and jokes, her mood gradually improved.
But she couldn't bring herself to go and see her elder brother immediately to ask about his well-being, so she simply grabbed Zhang Shou.
