Zhulan held up the post from the Lin Mansion and said, "Don't reply yet. Go to the front yard and see if anyone else will send a post."
She felt that there would be a lot of people sending invitations today.
Steward Ding was a little stunned, but when he came to his senses, he quickly said, "Yes."
Zhulan waited for Steward Ding to leave, then smiled meaningfully at Mrs. Song and said, "I want to see who is trying to take advantage of this situation."
Mrs. Song's pupils constricted. She understood what her mistress said. Then she realized that in the previous moment, her mistress and the master seemed like the same person. Their auras were so similar.
Mrs. Song curled the corners of her mouth. She never thought that she had underestimated her mistress, but today she realized that she had been wrong.
Zhulan didn't expect Mrs. Song to answer, as she was used to talking to her.
Steward Ding came back very quickly, this time with four invitations in his hand. It was cold outside, but Steward Ding was sweating all over. "Invitations from the Feng Mansion, the Zhu Mansion, the Kong Mansion, and the Zhao Mansion."
Zhulan took them and looked at them one by one. There were five posts. It took a lot of effort just to reduce the sense of crisis in the Zhou family. Zhulan felt heavy in her heart. Her intuition told her that only one of the five families had a problem. But all five came together, which meant that someone from the remaining four families must have sneaked in and his position was not low!
Mrs. Song stood behind her and wrote down the contents of the post, then lowered her eyes. What surprised her the most was the Feng and Kong families. There were people of the Ding generation in these two families. Although she didn't know who they were, she believed in the abilities of the Ding generation. Now there was no news at all, and she felt a little disappointed. It seemed that the enemy was too powerful.
Zhulan said to Butler Ding, "Go and tell them that the Zhou Mansion has been frightened and closed down recently."
Steward Ding also knew that the master had been poisoned. He was stunned for a moment, then said, "Yes."
Zhulan closed her eyes. She would not hide it. She was indeed frightened. Facing an unknown enemy, she would not hold on for the sake of face. People should retreat when they should retreat and be cowardly when they should be cowardly. They only have one life. It is not a joke. Some people can be resurrected with full health.
Mrs. Song looked at her mistress who was resting with her eyes closed, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth. The attitudes of the master and the mistress really made her feel at ease. They wanted to live out their retirement in the Zhou Mansion and didn't want to move.
Li and the others also knew the news. Li was panicked for a few seconds but quickly calmed down and did what he had to do.
Boss Zhou was puzzled, "Aren't you worried?"
Li didn't even raise her head. "I'm not smart enough, and I don't have the ability. What's the point of worrying? It's better to do as mother said and take care of myself. That's the biggest help to the family. Besides, my parents are there to support me. I trust them."
She has witnessed the rise of the Zhou family all the way, and all of this was brought to the Zhou family by her parents. She has absolute trust in them.
Boss Zhou paused, then smiled. He was not as good as Li, who could always see through the essence. "You are right."
In the second room, Zhao held her daughter in a daze, "Dad will be fine."
It's like trying to convince myself.
Zhou Lao Er looked at his little girl looking at her, his serious expression relaxed, and his voice softened a bit, "Well, Dad knows what's going on."
Zhao looked down at her little girl and said, "I'll go and accompany mother."
Zhou Laoer stopped Zhao and said, "No, mother prefers quietness now."
Third room, Mrs. Dong's belly is very big, and she will give birth soon. After Chang Lian finished speaking, he stared at Mrs. Dong. Seeing that Mrs. Dong was fine, he wondered, "Aren't you worried?"
Mrs. Dong smiled and said, "I am worried, but I have seen it many times, but what I saw was the woman in the back house poisoning."
Chang Lian was silent. The backyard was very scary. Dong often received letters from the capital. Every time she received one, she got angry. Her brother-in-law's concubine had a miscarriage. Although he didn't know the truth, he was not stupid. He knew it must be related to his sister. As for why his sister dared to do it, it was not only because she had a legitimate daughter and son, but also because of the confidence given by his wife.
Chang Lian looked at his wife's belly and suddenly he hoped that the child was a son. Even though he didn't want to admit it, he knew in his heart that the woman had suffered too much. If his daughter was bullied in the future, he would definitely punish his son-in-law severely. So he had to climb up, otherwise he would be like his father-in-law, who didn't dare to say a word when his daughter was bullied.
In the fourth room, Su Xuan's eyes became sharp. Poisoning, openly poisoning, it was terrible. The first thing she thought of was the Marquis' Mansion. "Come and help me grind the ink."
She knew as much as her mother-in-law. She had been able to live freely for so many years without being plotted against. Naturally, she had her own information network. The fifth prince had returned to the capital.
Changzhi frowned, "Who are you writing to?"
"Second Miss Yao, this is a very interesting person. The Fifth Prince has returned to the capital, and she is no longer a chess piece. Let me see if I can get anything out of her."
Her intuition is very accurate, this Miss Yao Er has a good impression of her!
Chang Zhi widened his eyes, he was not stupid, he had thought a lot about what happened to his father, but he just realized that even a bold lady could be as careful as a hair at times, and now he couldn't take his eyes off the confident lady.
Su Xuan raised her chin and asked, "Are you stunned?"
Chang Zhi curled his lips, "I'm looking forward to our child."
He knew where his shortcomings lay, and his wife made up for all his shortcomings. Four words flashed through his mind: a perfect match.
In the main courtyard, because the gate was locked, Zhulan found out when Su Xuan sent someone out. After knowing why they went out, Zhulan let them go. She also wanted to see what Miss Yao would say.
At the Yao residence, Yao Zheyu looked at his sister who was sitting motionless on the chair. He knew the news last night and he was the one who opened the city gate. He did not disturb his sister when he came back. He waited until his sister was about to leave after breakfast before he told her. He calculated the time and it was almost an hour and his sister had been sitting there motionless.
After a while, Yao Yao finally moved, her voice was very hoarse, "Brother, what do you say about me returning home for a year to become a monk?"
This was the best ending she could have imagined, rather than being trapped to death in the backyard. She knew this day would come, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon, so soon that she was caught off guard.
Yao Zheyu felt upset, closed his eyes and then opened them again, "Actually there is a way out."
Yao Yao was a smart woman. She raised her head and smiled dryly, "Mom won't divorce me, and Dad won't allow me to divorce you. Mom has given too much and has become obsessed."
She had thought of this possibility a long time ago, but it was no use. She looked at her eldest brother apologetically. The first person her mother attacked after she was possessed by the devil was her eldest brother. She sent the letter a little late, but fortunately her eldest brother was fine.
Yao Zheyu's heart sank. He couldn't say that the big ship of the Marquis' Mansion was sailing against the current and could capsize at any time.
Although his sister was smart, she just thought that their father was supporting the Fifth Prince. What Yao Zheyu had in his heart turned into a sigh.
Yao Yao smiled and stood up, "Brother, I will also be going back to the capital tomorrow. Mother is still waiting for me to comfort her."
Mother must be very happy now, but it’s a pity that she will be hit hard in the near future.
