Wang Ru had no intention of getting out of the car. She held the curtain and carefully looked at the Zhou family. They had changed so much that she felt more and more that her guess was right. "Grandma Zhou, do you know the Monkey King?"
This was the result of her two months of thinking. She felt that her wings did not have enough power to make Old Man Zhou a scholar. There must be someone who had traveled through time like her.
Zhulan was able to hold it together. It was a compulsory course for her in modern times to manage her facial expressions so that no one could read her thoughts. "Sanya, why can't grandma understand what you said? And you just came back from Pingzhou? You are not a child anymore. Why did you go to Pingzhou alone? Didn't you and Erya teach you a lesson? Even if you don't care about your reputation, you can't cheat your two sisters like this!"
Everyone who knows that she never goes out knows that Wang Laosi's family had a bad reputation because of Wang Ru's reputation. The first two girls had a bad reputation. Later, the Zhou family came, and although only Erya and Wang Ru were implicated, Daya was also affected. This time, Wang Ru was gone for more than two months, and no one followed her. She didn't get engaged, and she followed a stranger without a matchmaker or engagement. Now, Daya and Erya didn't dare to go out, and they had a bad reputation in the surrounding area.
She also heard from Li that the scoundrels in the village went to hang around Wang Laosi's house, waiting to take advantage of him!
Wang Ru's face darkened because she finally realized how important reputation was in ancient times. This time when she went to Pingzhou, she lived in the Shi family. Although she lived in Shi Qing's courtyard, she was often embarrassed by others. Everyone used her reputation to step on her. Even though she didn't want to have anything to do with Shi Qing, she knew from all the sarcastic remarks that her reputation was gone. Fortunately, she was still young.
Wang Ru suppressed her anger and stared into Yang's eyes. She was also someone who had experienced palace fighting, and thought that she was not as scheming as Yang. She only saw contempt and disdain in Yang's eyes. The anger she had suppressed rose again, and she cursed Yang in her heart for attaching so much importance to reputation, saying that she must be an ancient person. It seemed that she was really overthinking, and her arrival was indeed a variable.
However, she was indeed frightened by the fact that Old Man Zhou passed the examination and became a scholar. The only thing that comforted her was that she knew from Shi Qing that the provincial examination was not easy to pass and not everyone could pass it. Old Man Zhou was already quite old and his physical condition was not good. If he took the examination for another ten or twenty years, his body would not be able to bear it. Thinking of this, she felt much more at ease looking at Old Man Zhou. She snorted and said to the driver, "Let's go."
Zhulan and Zhou Shuren watched the carriage go away before they turned around and continued walking. When they reached the riverside and saw an empty field of vision, Zhulan said, "Wang Rugu has his own ideas and only guesses at me!"
She was not afraid of Wang Ru guessing about her. If Wang Ru didn't guess about her after such a big change in the Zhou family, Wang Ru would be really hopelessly stupid, but she was not that smart either.
Zhou Shuren held Zhulan's hand. Finally, there was no one around. It was a rare opportunity for them to be alone together. "Wang Ru will speculate about our family in the future, but it won't limit you. My daughter will be the focus of speculation."
Zhu Lan chuckled, "Fortunately, we have never taught the Zhou family's children anything beyond ancient ideas. Even we live according to ancient rules. Wang Ru's guess is useless. In the end, she will definitely think that she is too powerful!"
Zhou Shuren sneered, "She is quite powerful, and has screwed the other two girls in the Wang family."
Zhulan is not a person who is overly compassionate. She does not sympathize with Wang Erya and Wang Rong, but she sympathizes with Wang Daya and Wang Xin. The honest girls will have a hard time in the future, and if they marry the wrong people, they will suffer for the rest of their lives. But then again, if Wang Ru had not come, the girls in the Wang family would not have married well, and Wang Zhangshi is not a good person either!
It's a rare time for Zhulan and her boyfriend to have their own world without anyone disturbing them, and they don't want to talk about Wang Ru anymore. Their interaction with Wang Ru is limited to this year, and they have basically had no contact after moving to Pingzhou. After Zhou Shuren passed the imperial examination, the class gap was completely widened. Unless Wang Ru can be involved with the male protagonist soon, it's a pity that Wang Ru's reputation is gone, and she is taken away by Shi Qing. The original plot has completely deviated. In the original plot, Wang Ru was just doing business, but never followed Shi Qing. Now with the deviation of the plot, it's hard to say what will happen next.
At Wang Laosi's house, Wang Ru brought back a lot of gifts. In the main hall, Wang Laosi was looking at the boxes of gifts, which contained cloth, snacks, and wine. Sun's eyes fell on Wang Ru's head, then changed her jewelry, and finally fell on the boxes in Wang Ru's hands.
Sun held her son in her arms and said, "My daughter, is that the gold locket you hold for your brother?"
