Zhulan was a little breathless from being held like this. Zhou Shuren was a little too strong today. She couldn't even raise her hands. She coughed and said, "If you continue to hold me like this, I think something will happen to me."
Zhou Shuren hurriedly let go of his hand. The old man was so anxious that he was sweating. He felt steady after holding her, but then his legs became weak and he sat down on the ground.
This time Zhulan was frightened again. She didn't care about the pain in her foot and reached out to pull it. "What's wrong with you?"
Zhou Shuren paused for a moment and then smiled, "I was so scared. You are the only one who can scare me in my life. Now my legs and feet are completely powerless. I was really scared just now. As I ran in, I was thinking, if something really happened to you, I would commit suicide. Fortunately, nothing happened. Fortunately."
Zhulan's eyes turned red. Zhou Shuren had a smile on his face, but what he said was true. If something really happened to her, Zhou Shuren would definitely not live alone. "Nonsense, my son is still young. I still have to watch him grow up and have a family!"
Zhou Shuren held his wife's hand. He doted on his son, but his wife was the most important to him. Not only did they live and die together, but he also wanted to take a gamble on whether they could go back if they died together. He was afraid that he would die too late, and if his wife went back, he would cry.
Li and Zhao looked at each other, then slowly pulled the children out. Now the parents-in-law only had eyes for each other.
Changzhong came out and sat down on the stone steps at the door. He was still young and didn't know what love that lasts through life and death was. He only knew that if something happened to his mother, his father would not want him to go with her. Changzhong's eyes turned red with this realization.
Changzhong stared at the servants tied up in the yard with a sullen face. In his heart, his parents were the most important and no one could surpass them. He didn't think his parents were old before, but today he realized that his parents were really old. He clenched his hands. He also wanted to protect his parents.
Li and Zhao didn't dare to go back to their respective courtyards? There was still a person tied up, and the maids and old women brought chairs? The two of them sat together, and there were servants in the courtyard? The two of them didn't communicate, but even though they didn't communicate, they were still shocked by the feelings of their in-laws.
Li didn't understand what love was. She was happy despite the quarrels with the head of the household. In the past, she only knew that her parents-in-law had a good relationship. Now she was shocked. Her father-in-law was really willing to give up his wealth and follow her mother. What kind of relationship is this!
Zhao stirred her handkerchief absentmindedly? Her husband was good to her, and she was important in his heart, but she knew in her heart that both her husband and she had too many things in their hearts. When there were too many things, the feelings were not so pure. She envied her parents-in-law. The feelings between her father-in-law and mother-in-law were pure? The two of them were consistent from beginning to end.
Yu Shuang lowered her eyes. She was happy about her grandparents' affection, but at the same time she was afraid that she would not be able to get such sincere affection, and that she would be greedy.
Yu Lu is the most open-minded one. Her grandfather fought for her and never hid anything from her. She was mentally prepared for what kind of family the Wang family was when she got engaged. She felt fortunate to have witnessed the beauty of her grandparents' love. There is still pure love in the world, but she does not force it. She is content.
Boss Zhou was not at home. He was busy inside and outside the farm and fields, and he came home very late every day.
Inside the house, Zhulan already knew about the Ministry of Revenue, and her heart almost stopped beating in fear. "Compared to you, what I have is nothing!"
Zhou Shuren was frightened. The Ministry of Revenue's plot against him was nothing. He knew that he had attracted hatred, so he was particularly careful. These tricks could not work on him. He was afraid for his family, so he wanted to poison them. When poisoning failed, he wanted to take action.
If the maid in the main courtyard had not been associated with the emperor, and if Mrs. Song had not offered a helping hand, my daughter-in-law would not have sprained her foot today.
Zhou Shuren held his wife's hand tightly, "I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay."
Zhu Lan sighed, "I have been investigating, but I never thought it was a maid from our courtyard. The maids from the main courtyard have been with us for many years. If she hadn't decided to kill me this time, she wouldn't have been exposed."
Zhou Shuren clenched his fists and said, "I think I can help investigate the Zhang family."
Zhu Lan knew that if she didn't let Zhou Shuren vent his anger, he would definitely get sick. "Well, I hope you know your limits."
Zhou Shuren's eyes were cold, "Yeah."
Zhulan cried out in pain. She had been chatting so much that she forgot about the pain. Only now did she remember the secondary injury to her feet. "My feet are really in trouble. Every time it seems like my hands are my feet."
Zhou Shuren became nervous and looked down. It was swollen like a steamed bun. He stood up to call Mrs. Song in and arranged for someone to call a doctor.
Mrs. Song looked at her mistress's feet with distress in her eyes, "Your feet will need to be healed for a hundred days."
Zhulan also realized that the situation was serious. The first time she sprained her ankle, it wasn't that serious. When the girl took action, she was quite skilled. Unfortunately, she had been nurtured all these years, and her original martial arts had long been returned to God. In addition, she had gained weight, ahem, and was a little clumsy, so she sprained her ankle.
The doctor arrived quickly, and the Li family members also entered the room. However, the area around Zhou Shuren was completely empty, and even Changzhong didn't dare to get too close because it was too cold.
The doctor left me some medicine, which meant I had to rest for a hundred days.
Zhulan was upset. Zhou Shuren stared at his wife's feet. "I will take a few more days off tomorrow. I will deal with the maid outside. No, we will not deal with this girl. I will bring her into the palace. I will go into the palace later."
Li and Zhao widened their eyes, and seeing that their mother-in-law didn't say anything, they knew that she agreed, so they both shut up.
Zhou Shuren also changed his clothes. He looked quite dishevelled, especially his official hat which was crooked. He did not adjust it, nor did he care about the dust on his uniform. His back was hunched in an instant. He was not good-looking to begin with, and this made him look even more haggard.
Yu Shuang stared blankly at her grandfather's changing expression. She thought her grandfather was truly amazing and that her own father was far inferior to him.
Changzhong's eyes sparkled. He was a studious kid and felt that he had figured it out.
Zhou Shuren didn't avoid people and hurriedly got on the carriage. The maid who was helping him was also supported by Jinyan, and they went all the way out of the mansion and into the palace.
After Zhulan applied medicine on her feet, she felt better. Then she looked at the maid standing there. This was one of her older maids, Qingxue. The name was the maid's own and she had never changed it.
Forget it, now all the masters are keeping their eyes on Qingxue. Zhulan knows what’s going on, but Li and Zhao don’t.
Li circled around Qingxue twice, "Oh my goodness, Qingxue has become a master?"
Zhao was thinking a lot and kept her eyes on Mrs. Song. Seeing how calm she looked, she knew that this person was probably someone of status.
Zhulan cleared her throat and asked, "Do you still want to stay in the mansion?"
Qingxue didn't expect that she would be so exposed, but the order she received was to protect the mistress. Of course, she also needed to inquire about the news. Her emotions were exposed and she knew that she couldn't go back. She would stay in the mansion like Mrs. Song and others. "Yes."
