Boss Zhou was carrying someone on his back, with a messy-haired servant following beside him. Zhulan and Zhou Shuren found the servant familiar. After taking a closer look, they looked at each other.
Zhou Shuren stood up and walked forward, reaching out to help up the person the boss was carrying on his back. He saw the person's face clearly and realized that it was big trouble. It was the male protagonist Yao Zheyu!
Zhou Shuren had a toothache, so it was definitely not a coincidence that the male protagonist came to his house. Looking at the anxious look of the servant, he came to look for him.
The servant was extremely anxious. He had walked all the way from Zhoujia Village with the young master on his back. He had never expected that Mr. Zhou had moved and bought a big house. It took a lot of time to walk all the way here. The young master was in a very bad condition. "Master, our young master is in trouble. He has a fever now. Please ask a doctor to take a look. I am sorry to bother you these days. When the young master gets better, I will repay you in the future."
He didn't dare to go to the county. Fortunately, he thought of Mr. Zhou. Otherwise, he wouldn't know who to look for.
Zhou Shuren's stomach hurt even more. Seeing the miserable appearance of the male protagonist, he must be in big trouble. It was too late to throw the male protagonist out. As long as the male protagonist entered the door, no matter whether he was in the same group with the male protagonist or not, he would help cover up the traces. Their family couldn't afford to provoke someone who could kill the male protagonist, and the male protagonist was an indestructible cockroach. He was really afraid of the male protagonist's revenge if he dared to throw him out. He was afraid that the scheming male protagonist would turn evil. After weighing the pros and cons, "Big brother, go to the county to invite Doctor Lu. When Doctor Lu asks who is sick, just say that your father has a fever. Second brother, go outside the door and erase all traces."
The servant said, "I didn't enter the village, I took the opportunity to come here."
He was still very careful, as this concerned the young master's life.
Zhou Shuren said: "That's even better."
Zhou Shuren signaled the servant to carry Yao Zheyu on his back. It would be better for the male lead to live alone. He didn't want to see the male lead at the moment. "I will arrange for you to live in the empty yard behind the house. You come with me."
The yard behind the main house is where several children play. A fire is lit in the house every day. If the house is not cold, they will go over and light the fire, and the house will quickly become warm.
Zhulan took out two new quilts and motioned for Li to carry them with her to the empty courtyard. When they arrived at the empty courtyard, she didn't rush to spread the quilts. Instead, Zhulan asked Li to go to the main courtyard to get a kettle with hot water in it, and asked the servant to wash the male protagonist.
Zhulan went to Changlian's room again and took out the new inner and outer clothes that Changlian had made for the New Year. Changlian had grown a lot taller this year, especially in the winter. He grew too fast and became very thin. Although this boy was not as tall as the male protagonist, his inner clothes were made bigger, so they would not be too small for the male protagonist to wear. The outer clothes would leave some room on the edges, so Zhulan just had to let go of the male protagonist and he could wear them.
No matter how much stomachache Zhulan had to come to the door, she could only endure it. Zhulan hugged her clothes and watched the snow falling heavier and heavier. She thought to herself that the male protagonist was really lucky. All the traces were gone after the snow. It was good for them too. They didn't have to worry about being found.
In the room, the servant had already given Yao Zheyu a simple wash. When he came out to get the clothes, he saw that they were all new and was very grateful, "Thank you for troubling Madam Xiucai."
Zhu Lan said, "You must not have eaten. I'll go prepare some food and bring it over later. I'll leave your son to your care. If you need anything, come to the main courtyard to find us."
The servant had indeed not eaten for a long time. The last meal was last night's dinner. It was already afternoon, and he had been carrying the young master all the way. He was already starving. "Thank you, madam."
Zhulan nodded and went out. Li was waiting in the yard. Li had a lot to say. When she saw her mother-in-law coming out, she lowered her voice and said, "Mother, how could the young master of the Marquis' Mansion get into trouble?"
Isn't the son of the Marquis Mansion a noble son of the Marquis Mansion? Why is he still so embarrassed
Zhulan led Li out of the yard, and after making sure that the servant could not hear her, she said, "You think the Marquis's Mansion is a place of wealth and luxury, and there is only one position for the Crown Prince, you silly daughter-in-law."
Li's reaction was much faster now. She understood what was meant. She covered her mouth that was about to scream and calmed down for a while. "Mom, our family is still the best. There are not so many twists and turns at all."
Zhulan, “… … ..”
Haha, Li is not ashamed to talk like that. She is not beating around the bush. The eldest wife is such a honest and straightforward person. Now she is determined not to separate the family. Li always stays close to her, pouring her tea and peeling pine nuts for her. She just wants to win the favor of the eldest wife!
You still dare to say there is no Ben Wan, no Ben Wan, don’t come near me!
Back in the main courtyard, Zhulan asked Li to heat up the leftover buns and porridge from lunch, and then asked Changyi to send them to the backyard. There were servants serving in the backyard, so they didn't have to worry about it.
When Zhulan returned to the room, Zhou Shuren was already sitting there reading a book. Zhulan was very tired. "I thought I would have no more interactions with the hero in the future, but now he's here in such a mess."
Zhou Shuren put down the book in his hand. He had already cursed in his heart and was very calm. He said rationally: "Although I don't want to be involved with the male protagonist, it's good to have saved our lives. We don't ask the male protagonist for anything. Keep the life-saving grace. If there is a life-saving grace in the future, we will not be passive when facing the male protagonist. No matter how evil and calculating the male protagonist is, he will think of the life-saving grace."
Zhulan thought about it carefully and realized that instead of guarding against contact with the male protagonist, they could take advantage of the current opportunity to turn the passive situation into active one. They took the initiative. After figuring it out, she felt relieved and said with a smile: "In this case, this is not a trouble, but an opportunity that has been delivered to our doorstep."
Zhou Shuren nodded, "Everything has two sides. If you put yourself in their shoes, bad things may turn into good things."
Zhulan thought that the male protagonist was really miserable. Although he was not injured, he was seriously ill. He did not look like he had just gotten sick. "Why did the male protagonist come here instead of staying in Pingzhou?"
It also gave those who wanted to harm him an opportunity to take advantage of him, and there has been no news of Wang Ru returning to Zhoujia Village!
Zhou Shuren thought for a while, "Our county is a transportation hub, a must-go place to get back to the capital. Yao Zheyu left Pingzhou with an illness, so he must have something urgent to return to the capital. It seems that from what you know, there must be other reasons for Yao Zheyu not to participate in the Tongsheng exam next year."
Zhulan counted on her fingers. It was almost the New Year. Although the capital was not far from Pingzhou, it would take a month and a half to go back and forth in winter. Adding the time spent in the capital, Yao Zheyu would not be able to make it back to take the examination. He insisted on going back to the capital even though he knew he could not make it. This showed that he knew he would not be able to take the examination if he stayed.
Why can't he take the Tongsheng exam? The hero rushed back to the capital with illness. Zhulan thought, "The old marquis must be dying soon, so he is anxious to let Yao Zheyu go back. The old marquis is dead, and the hero, as a grandson, has to observe mourning for twelve months. Naturally, he can't take the Tongsheng exam next year. The novel is indeed a novel that doesn't explain it clearly in a few sentences. In the original text, the hero came to Pingzhou two years later. Wang Ru had some reasons, but she did come for the exam."
Zhou Shuren said: "This explains clearly why someone dared to take action. It was not only to stop Yao Zheyu from returning to the capital, but also to prevent Yao Zheyu from returning to the capital again."
Zhu Lan blinked her eyes. "This is a chain reaction. If Yao Zheyu hadn't left the capital earlier, he wouldn't have encountered what he is experiencing today."
At least no one dared to attack in the Marquis' Mansion, and Yao Zheyu's life would not be in danger in the Marquis' Mansion. To be honest, it was she and Zhou Shuren who fanned the flames. Without them, everything would have gone according to the original text. It was she and Zhou Shuren, the two major variables, that caused things to go completely astray.
