It was a farce, but in the end, Zhou Zhaowei was the one who got beaten up. Old Granny Chu Xuanghua and Chu Yuehua shed tears, while Eldest Madam Deng left the scene sighing.
However, the old granny's words had already been spread around the capital. There was a flurry of discussions about them, some mocking Zhou Zhaowei, some praising the old granny, and some praising Chu Xuanghua.
Chu Yuehua was relieved when she heard that no one was talking about Chu Xuhua outside. Now that she heard of this, her elder sister's marriage was settled and she felt a lot more at ease.
Finally, things have changed in my previous life. Jiejie no longer needs to marry Zhou Zhaowei, and I will no longer have to look at the Deng Family's expression and live life. Then, I will no longer have to die young like that.
Chu Xuohua was naturally happy, even when he was serving the old lady there was a smile on his face, causing the old lady to sigh endlessly.
”Yue Er, tell me honestly, was this planned by you?” Finally one day, Chu Xuanhua realized something was wrong and came to ask her.
”Elder sister, why do you care so much? All in all, you don't have to worry about Brother Wei anymore. ”
”I know that you have your own ideas now, but I won't stop you. I just want to know what exactly happened. At least let me know, don't you?”
Seeing how her elder sister seemed to want to know the truth, Chu Yuehua laughed, ”This matter isn't difficult at all. It's only a matter of time. Think about it, you are now fourteen years old, and you are at the age of marriage.
You and I both know what the second wife is thinking, but she definitely can't go and say this directly to the old lady. Otherwise, the old lady would have rejected her outright. In the end, Lady Deng was still a guest. Furthermore, she was the eldest wife of the Duke of Guo's estate. There was no way the old lady would directly refuse her.
So at this time, I had someone set up a trap outside. Brother Wei has always done things without thinking, so it's not hard for him to say those words. The second master would usually go to Treasure Street with his colleagues after the assembly was over. If someone were to intentionally cause a ruckus at a time like this, it would fall into the ears of the second master and his colleagues.
With the second master's personality, he couldn't lose any face in front of outsiders. At this time, if the old lady were to move forward, everything would naturally go according to plan. ”
Chu Xuohua finally understood, his sister had actually set up a trap for Zhou Zhaowei to get involved in.
For example, Zhou Muwen's character, if it wasn't because he had always prided himself on being righteous, he wouldn't have brought Zhou Zhaowei home to serve the clan so openly at this time, and it wouldn't have caused a sensation.
Mrs. Deng was so angry that she almost died. When she served the weekend, she could not help but complain, ”Master, you're too impatient. A few days ago, I told you that we were going to let Miss Xu marry Brother Wei. Why are you still saying this? Why are you getting so serious now? The ducks that were about to be blown away.”
After hearing his wife's words, Zhou Moyu did not return her words. Thinking about it afterwards, he felt somewhat regretful. After thinking about it carefully, he spent quite a bit of money these years. With just the government's money, the couple and their children would no longer be needed to live.
If Zhou Zhaowei were to marry Chu Xuhua, it would be a huge income. Although it should not be said that his in-laws were scheming against his daughter-in-law's dowry, upon seeing that his family was in trouble, the daughter-in-law would have to pretend to supplement it.
Seeing his expression, the Deng family became more and more unhappy, ”Now that the Chu family has all the money in the long room, our second room can only watch. It is unknown if they took the money to put away the stamp money or not, but we do not know if they made a ton of money.
”I don't understand. How can I not be as good as my sister-in-law? I'm the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion, but I'm actually worse than her. I lie in bed all day groaning and groaning, and I don't even look at the old lady with filial piety. Just thinking about how my days are more comfortable than mine makes me angry.”
Zhou Muwen grew impatient as he listened, and said with a frown, ”All of these things are fate. I can't force my way through!”
”You can't force it?” When Lady Deng heard this, she immediately raised her eyebrows. ”You're not going to force it? If the old master had been a little bit more patient today and did not cause such a commotion, this would have been considered a success.
”At that time, I was walking together with Zhang Dazhi, and there were so many people stumbling around. If I didn't put on a show, wouldn't I be making fun of my comrades and calling me a scout? After all, it wasn't you, if it wasn't for you forcing Brother Wei, he wouldn't be so lawless, right? ”
Deng Shi was immediately incensed: ”I'm letting Brother Wei? He's the one who gave birth to you and that Aunt Wei. As his mother, it's not a short amount of food for him, so he wears it. He was afraid that if he grew cold and hungry, his heart would be taken out. Now that he's not learning well in such a good environment, you're blaming me again?
If I practice him in cold weather, I don't know how to say that I mistreated her son! My life is better? Old master, you have to rely on your conscience when you speak! ”
Zhou Muwen had never quarreled, but she felt a headache coming on. ”Have you had enough? Weren't you just mumbling about something all these years? Are you tired of it?”
”Why can't I say anything? Did you do all this? Have my children ever had these problems? Let's not talk about his daughter. She was the Empress now, so even though she couldn't compare to the eldest son of the concubine, she was still a High Scholar. Had she ever fought with a chicken or walked with a dog?
