Chapter 175 Leaving Taoyuan
“This is called living under someone else’s roof.”
"It's okay. From now on, we, mother and daughter, will depend on each other for the rest of our lives."
"You are my daughter. I will never ignore you."
Zhou Huanjiu tilted his head strangely.
"No, I'm only staying here for a year, and I'll be back at Renshou Hall after a year."
Mrs. Zhou was stunned for a moment: "...So you can still go back?"
Zhou Huanjiu:?
When did she say she couldn't go back?
Where did this misunderstanding come from?
A Niang suddenly laughed.
"Li Shanglian, ah Li Shanglian, does he know what he missed?"
After laughing, Mrs. Zhou began to worry.
At that time, she said confidently that she would bring Jiuer to the farm, but she still felt sick when she thought about seeing that dead man.
This farm was not Mrs. Zhou's dowry. Mr. Zhou had been an official all his life, but he not only held a low position, but also had no wealth.
Because she married into a wealthy family, the Zhou family had tried their best to prepare a dowry for her.
But I still can’t even afford a farm.
Therefore, when Madam Zhou was chosen by the emperor's brother-in-law Zhou Yu to marry, the whole family was filled with gratitude and felt that they were the favorites of God.
He also taught his daughter to serve Duke Xin well, to be virtuous, decent, and generous, to take care of the backyard for him, and to arrange more concubines for him.
Be generous, don't be jealous, and don't let your husband have any dissatisfaction.
Even if she did something wrong, no matter how wrong it was, it was all her fault.
That's why after she got married, she was so easily manipulated by Zhou Yu.
I really thought that I had done something wrong and felt sorry for him.
Now that she has been kicked out by her mother's family, she has to return to the Zhou family's farm.
She squeezed her daughter's little hand.
You can't sleep on the streets with your child, and it's not appropriate for the mother and daughter to stay in an inn.
Jiu'er is Zhou Yu's child, can that guy really just ignore him?
If there is really no other option, I can only ask the Queen Mother to let Jiuer return to the palace first.
Mrs. Zhou took a deep breath. The capital was so big, but there was no place for her to settle down.
I've lived most of my life and earned nothing.
She tightened her grip on her daughter's hand.
Now, she is all she has.
Only the child is hers, her inseparable, unbroken bloodline.
After returning to the Zhou family's farm, Zhou Yu received a notification and brought Zhou Huanzhi out with him.
There was undisguised pride and sarcasm on his face, and the attitude of a villain who has succeeded was displayed to the fullest.
"Hey, isn't this my good wife who wants a divorce?"
"Didn't you say that you'd go to many places away from me, and it's impossible for you to come back and beg me?"
"What? What are you doing now?"
"You were driven out by your good brother and became a homeless dog?"
"And with wine..." As he said this, his gaze shifted to Zhou Huanjiu's face, and then his expression changed.
"Wine?"
"Your face..."
Mrs. Zhou interrupted him impatiently: "It will leave scars. It can't be cured. There will be scars on your body too."
"Jiu'er misses his parents, so he goes home to live for a year before returning to Renshou Hall."
"Just tell me, as a father, do you care about your daughter?"
Hearing that Zhou Huanjiu would return to the Queen Mother, Zhou Yu thought about letting the mother and daughter in.
But when she saw Zhou Huanzhi beside him, Mrs. Zhou completely remembered her memories from five years ago.
That bitch Zhou Yu kidnapped her child and wanted to have a bastard to replace her child.
Now he still carries this bastard with him everywhere, he really cares about him.
She silently protected the child behind her.
Maybe living on the streets is safer than staying in the Zhou family.
At this time, Zhou Huanzhi also tugged at Zhou Yu's sleeve and asked anxiously, "Aye, my elder sister is back. Will you still love Zhizhi in the future?"
"Eldest sister is your biological daughter. Zhizhi is just the child of father and mother, not your biological daughter. Will you stop loving Zhizhi?"
Zhou Yu was heartbroken, especially because this child looked a bit like his servant lover who died long ago.
Her aggrieved and frightened look made him feel distressed.
Zhou Yu squatted down and whispered, "Zhizhi, you worry too much. Aren't all the illegitimate brothers and sisters in the village your biological children?"
"Do you think anyone can surpass you?"
"You will always be Aye's favorite child. Even Jiu'er can never compare to you."
After this, Mrs. Zhou was completely unable to hold back. She no longer considered the issue of where to stay. All she wanted to do was scold these two shameless people.
"You damn thing!"
"Is this bastard worthy of calling my son elder sister?"
"Is she related to my son by blood?"
"She is just a bone-sucking bug, not even worthy of carrying Jiu'er's shoes. How dare you say that Jiu'er can't surpass her!"
Zhou Yu was angered by her words.
Zhou Huanzhi was the child of his servant, his only hope for his lover, sacred and inviolable, and his treasure.
How can you let people insult you?
So he ordered the servants behind him: "Catch this bitch and take her away."
"As the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, you actually speak ill of me."
"I have to slap you in the face today to teach you a lesson."
"To let you know who you can say and who you can't say."
"You think you can scold Zhizhi?"
But his idea was soon shattered because Zhou Huanjiu said, "Stop them!"
Her guards heard the noise and arrested all the servants who came forward to take action.
She walked in front of Madam Zhou to block her, "Who dares to touch my mother while I am here!"
Zhou Huanjiu has been in the palace all the time and everyone is very friendly to him.
Maybe it was because the most distinguished people were all very kind to her.
Even her cousin, the emperor, who was unkind and cruel, was polite to her and showed great concern for her studies.
Everyone says that the palace is dangerous, but Zhou Huanjiu has never suffered any malice in the world while in the palace.
For her, it is her paradise.
But now that she had left Taoyuan, she realized what situation her mother and herself were facing.
Her eyes were sore and she wiped away the tears with her sleeve.
The little child realized that she could no longer rely on her mother, and now it was time for her mother to rely on her.
Although she has not grown up yet, her frail shoulders must bear the responsibility of coming early.
Zhou Huanjiu took his mother's hand, turned and left, leaving the Zhou family's farm and the Zhou family behind.
"Mother, please follow me."
"Wine will take care of you."
"Let's hand over the sign and go into the palace."
Mrs. Zhou sniffed her blocked nose and answered in a hoarse voice, "Okay, my wine has grown up."
"But don't force yourself. Mom is an adult and she can always take care of herself."
