Zhulan waited for a while, but Jinyan still didn't show up. Her calm heart began to feel uneasy. There were many skilled people in the mansion, and there were also the emperor's men, so no one would come over.
Zhulan stood up and stood at the door. She couldn't see outside the main courtyard, but could only hear some noises. The noises had stopped just now and started again. Her heart skipped a beat. The two of them were really full of hatred. That's right, Zhou Shuren had ruined so many things. Now that one group has calmed down, another group has come in. They are determined to drag the Zhou family down with them!
And she is the one who takes the lead. Everyone knows how much Zhou Shuren cares about his wife.
Yang Wen held the sword in his hand and said, "Auntie, please go in. I will guard the yard."
Zhu Lan looked at Yang Wen who had been guarding the yard. The little guy was only in his teens, but he was so calm. "Aren't you afraid?"
Yang Wen shook his head. "Don't be afraid. When I was in Lizhou, I had been with my father for a year. I also followed my father to suppress the horse bandits. Auntie, I have killed people before."
Zhu Lan was completely stunned. Yang Wen was a grown-up, but he was still a child. "Have you seen blood?"
Yang Wen nodded, "Yes, I have. When I returned home last year, I was also in the barracks. In winter, there were many horse bandits who took risks on the border."
Zhulan felt bad. This was her nephew's love for Yang Wen. This was fatherly love. He hoped that Yang Wen could learn more skills and live a good life in the future. "Your father has put in a lot of effort."
Yang Wen nodded, "I know everything."
If it wasn't for the Yang family, how could his father let him die so early? The night before he left, he wanted to chat with his father for a while longer at night, but he overheard his mother crying and his father's voice was hoarse. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but clench the sword in his hand again.
Suddenly there was a noise, and the two servants guarding outside the door rushed out. The door to the main courtyard was closed. Zhulan stood at the door without moving, and Yang Wen also nervously went to the door.
At Shi's house, Yao Xin was just holding the child. It was a bit chaotic outside. She could hear noises even in the backyard. She didn't dare to think about what would happen if she stayed at home. Seeing Yao Yao sitting beside her holding the child, she moved the corners of her mouth. "Thank you."
Yao Yao was distracted, she was feeling panic in her heart, she had always known that something was wrong at home, she felt that it was related to Yao Hou Mansion, her husband had frequent contacts with the Mansion but she knew that they were not sincere, she lowered her head to look at her son and felt that her husband had been using her son's body, she had also covered up for her husband a lot.
Yao Xin didn't wait for a reply and didn't think much about it, thinking that Yao Yao was also afraid. She just couldn't help but look at Yao Yao's son a little more. She had heard a lot that the child was frail and sickly and often fell ill, but now something didn't seem right. He didn't look like he was sickly.
When Yao Yao came back to her senses, she saw Yao Xin looking at the child. She raised her hand and covered her son's face with her sleeve. If her husband hadn't reminded her, she would not have gone to pick up Yao Xin. There was no such thing as sisterhood.
Yao Xin curled her lips. She was missing her husband. Then she thought, fortunately her husband was not there, otherwise who knows what would have happened!
At the Zhou family's main courtyard, the door finally opened. Yang Wen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Jianyan coming in. "Are you injured?"
Jinyan had wounds on his back and chest. Even though he was wearing dark clothes, blood could still be seen. "It's okay."
Zhulan asked, "Have you solved it?"
Jin Yan was filled with fear. He had not expected that two groups of people would come, and they came from different directions. Fortunately, the servants of the Zhou family were skilled and stopped them near the wall of the mansion. The only one who ran over was already dead. "Everyone who broke in is dead."
Zhu Lan exhaled, "Let those without hands continue to guard, you take care of the injured and bandage them first. Yes, are there any casualties in the family? Is the eldest brother injured?"
Jin Yan's face was heavy. Some of the people were led by him. "The master is fine. He only suffered some minor injuries. Three servants died, and several were seriously injured."
This was the first time someone in Zhulan's family had died. She felt heavy-hearted and said, "Let's go to the doctor to treat the wound first."
Jin Yan did not dare to delay any longer, "Yes."
Zhulan thought to herself, fortunately she had thought it through and invited the doctor back when she went to pick up the people. The commotion outside had died down, and she didn't know how many casualties there were. The doctors in the capital were not enough.
Mingyun walked to his grandmother's side and said, "Grandma, let me go and take a look."
Zhulan turned her head to look at her grandson's determined eyes. This child was worried about the eldest son. Now the eldest son was injured. As the man who could support the family, the grandson had to go. This was the growth of the grandson. She had no reason to stop him. "Go."
Li held her waist. She heard it and knew her husband was injured. She looked down at her belly and then at her eldest son who had left with the servant. Her eyes were slightly red. "Mom, the family is safe now, right?"
Zhulan was surprised that Li didn't scream, "Yeah, it's all right now."
Even if someone came, they would not turn back, because there was no chance to turn back. The two groups of people already looked up to the Zhou family, otherwise, even if she wanted to train her eldest grandson, she would not have agreed so readily.
Li trusted her mother-in-law the most. She felt relieved and looked at her with admiration. Her mother-in-law was very calm from beginning to end, so she was the mistress of the family. When her father-in-law was not at home, her mother-in-law was the pillar of the family. "Mom, your daughter-in-law also wants to be like you."
Zhulan, "... You don't have a chance in this life. You don't have good innate conditions. Try to be born into a good family in your next life!"
Li, “… . . . .”
Yu Lu, who came over and wanted to support her mother, looked at her grandmother speechlessly. At this time, her grandmother could still talk to her mother, it seemed that everything was really fine.
The tense atmosphere in the room disappeared, and Yu Shuang's straight back relaxed. She sat with a bent back, wiping her forehead with a handkerchief.
Song Lan stared at her godmother blankly, "Godmother, aren't you afraid?"
He was still standing at the door, with no intention of coming in.
Zhulan did not expect herself to be so calm. She probably had a feeling that everything was fine. No, not directly, but she had arranged everything that could be arranged. She had no fear in her heart because she understood that the Zhou family was just a by-product. Even if someone came, in order to get rid of the soldiers outside, not too many people would come.
Zhulan's smile was now cheerful, "There's nothing to be afraid of as long as you make arrangements."
Song Lan shook his head in his heart. No, even if everything was arranged, he would still be afraid. This only shows that his godmother is very strong inside, which is not something that ordinary people have.
Inside the palace, the Emperor saw the Crown Prince coming in, and he took a quick step forward, took the Crown Prince's arm, and looked his eldest son up and down carefully. God knows how irritable he was when he received the news, but this was the path chosen by his eldest son, and he understood, so he agreed. However, Ke Xin was still worried.
The prince saw clearly how anxious his father was. Today, none of his own men had moved. They were all his father's men. His father had secretly arranged many people to protect him. "Father, I am fine."
The emperor patted the prince's shoulder. This child was like him in the bones, both of them were crazy. He turned his head and pulled Rong Chuan over, looking at him carefully, "Good boy, I'm glad you're not hurt."
Rongchuan could no longer suppress the weirdness in his heart this time. The emperor is the prince's biological father. The prince is not only his son but also the future emperor. It is normal for the emperor to be nervous, but is he too nervous for him
