Chapter 124 Marrying My Mother 1 ◇

◎Jinjiang exclusive◎

After leaving her sister-in-law's yard, Zhou Yu went straight to her mother's room and snuggled into her mother's arms...

Now that she was home, she had to spend some time with her mother. Besides, Zhou Yu also wanted to know how her mother's dowry preparations were going...

Some time ago, his uncle Ze Lin had already chosen a date, and with the financial support of his two sons (mainly the youngest son Zhou Luo), he bought a two-story house not far from Zhou Jin's home as his and Zheng's new home. He planned to marry her mother on the eighth day of the fifth lunar month after the Dragon Boat Festival!

Although neither of them planned to have a big wedding, Zhou Jin and his sister still had to prepare the necessary dowry for her mother!

I wonder if she, as a daughter, would be beaten by her mother if she said she wanted to add fragrance to her mother's fragrance? Zhou Yu thought to himself.

"This kid, even though she's already married, still acts like a child. Isn't she afraid that your sister-in-law Song will laugh at her?"

While hugging her daughter, Zheng smiled at Liu who was helping her with needlework in her room.

Song Yi had been released from prison by Zhu Xi some days ago, and he had not even said hello to the Duke Su's Mansion. Zhu Xi only told the official in charge that if the Duke Su's Mansion caused him any trouble, they could just come to him!

Later, perhaps the Duke of Su's Mansion also felt that if a thorough investigation were conducted into Song Yi's arrest, it would be Lan Renhao's fault. They were afraid that if they pressed the issue of Song Yi, Zhu Xi would make a scene, which would further damage Lan Renhao's already tarnished reputation. So, they didn't pursue the matter...

Because Lan Renhao had not been completely dealt with, Zhou Jin let Song Yi and his family continue to live in his house just in case.

Because of this incident, Song Yi could no longer do his job as inspector, so Zhou Jin asked someone (his wife) to find a job for Song Yi as a city gate officer. This job was one and a half levels higher than Song Yi's previous job as a ninth-rank inspector, and was a seventh-rank job!

Song Yi was naturally very grateful and worked very hard, which made his boss Mu Qingni very satisfied.

"Look at what Madam said. No matter how old the princess is, she is still your daughter! Seeing how affectionate the princess and Madam are, I'm jealous and want to have a daughter myself!"

After hearing what Zheng said, Liu touched her slightly bulging belly and agreed with a smile.

Although I said this, I still wanted a son in my heart!

After Liu moved into the Zhou family, she discovered she was pregnant, and now she's been pregnant for over three months! Song Yi became a father right after he was released from prison, and even got a better job. These days are so wonderful!

Therefore, he often told his wife to get closer to Zheng. The Zhou Jin family was not only their benefactor, but also their lucky star!

Liu had always obeyed her husband in everything, so she'd been hanging around Zheng these days, wanting to help with this and that. Seeing how pregnant she was, Zheng couldn't really ask her to do anything. Whenever she came, they'd just sit and chat, just to relieve their boredom...

When Zhou Yu came over, the two were talking while embroidering the handkerchief stitch by stitch...

At this point, Zhou Yu naturally saw that Liu's words were insincere. Seeing that Liu was pregnant, out of his doctor's awareness, he instinctively stepped forward to take Liu's pulse. Then... his expression became strange...

Liu suddenly became nervous...

"Princess, I..."

No way! Looking at Princess Rui's expression, could it be that she's really pregnant with a girl? Oh my God! She was just saying it casually, please don't take it seriously!

"Congratulations, Sister Song. The baby is still too young to tell whether it's a boy or a girl, but we can tell you're having twins!"

Zhou Yu smiled at Liu.

I couldn't bear to tell her the bad news that she was pregnant with two girls, so I only told her that she was pregnant with twins. I thought I would tell her about the daughter and the son after her pregnancy was stable.

When Liu heard Zhou Yu say she was pregnant with twins, she was so overjoyed that she couldn't sit still and hurried back to tell her mother-in-law the news...

Zheng watched through the window as the maid sent Liu away. Then she turned around, poked Zhou Yu's forehead, and asked with a smile:

"Judging from your expression just now, are all the babies your sister-in-law Liu is pregnant with girls?"

Zhou Yu...

"Haha, Mom, did you see that?"

"Well, from the look in your eyes just now, I knew you figured it out. But you didn't tell her because you saw that your sister-in-law Liu actually wanted a son, right?!"

After hearing this, Zhou Yu threw himself into Zheng's arms again.

"Mother still knows me!"

"Alas! Actually, it's no wonder that your sister-in-law Liu wants to have a son. If this woman doesn't have a son, it will be difficult for her to gain a foothold in this world!"

Zheng stroked Zhou Yu's hair and sighed, unable to help asking her daughter in her arms,

"Ayu, you've been married for a while, why don't you want a child?"

In Zheng's mind, as a commoner woman, it would be difficult for her to survive without a child, let alone her daughter, the princess of a royal family! ?

So I hope my daughter will give birth to a child as soon as possible, and it would be best if it is a boy!

"Mom, I'm still young. It's too dangerous to have a child now. I plan to wait two years!" Zhou Yuqiu answered in Zheng's arms.

She is only seventeen now. If you calculate her age by lunar age, she is only sixteen. She is still too young. Giving birth is a dangerous thing in ancient times, and no one can perform a caesarean section on her. Zhou Yu thinks it is better to wait until she grows up a little bit!

"But... if you think so, will your son-in-law agree?" Zheng couldn't help but worry after hearing this.

"Mom, don't worry. We have already discussed this matter. It was Zhu Xi who suggested having the baby later!" Zhou Yu hurriedly comforted her mother.

She did not lie about this matter. Zhu Xi's mother had a disease when she gave birth to him. She died early after being bedridden for several years.

So, after hearing Zhou Yu talk about the dangers of having children at a young age, Zhu Xi took the initiative to suggest that Zhou Yu delay having children without waiting for Zhou Yu to say anything...

This made Zhou Yu feel very touched.

Zheng was relieved after hearing this... and then instructed:

"Look, Ah Xi likes you so much, don't always bully him!"

Zhou Yu complained inwardly: "No wonder people often say that the more a mother-in-law sees her son-in-law, the happier she becomes! Thanks to Zhu Xi's unremitting efforts in flattery, his mother now treats him better than she treats her own daughter!"

"Mom, those two didn't make a fuss about you marrying my Uncle Zelin, did they?"

Not wanting to listen to her mother's nagging anymore, Zhou Yu quickly changed the subject and started to care about her mother's affairs...

The two she mentioned naturally referred to Mr. Zhou and his wife who still lived in the mansion.

"At first they were making a fuss, saying they wouldn't let me remarry! But then your eldest sister-in-law brought Nanny Yang to persuade them, saying that if I stayed in the mansion, even if I didn't take care of things, I would still be the wife of this mansion, and I have always had a grudge against them, so it would inevitably instigate you brothers and sisters and your eldest sister-in-law to be estranged from them.

On the contrary, if I get married, your eldest brother will be in the military camp all year round, and your eldest sister-in-law doesn't like to meddle in trivial matters. Then, won't these two old men and old ladies be the only ones in charge in our mansion?!

Therefore, we haven't seen them making any noise these past few days!" Zheng said with a wry smile.

In order to ensure that she could get married smoothly, Nanny Yang took great pains to coax the two of them!

"This Madam Yang is quite capable! From now on, she will help look after your sister-in-law in our house, and I won't have to worry about anything!" Zheng sighed again.

When Zheng thought about getting married soon, she felt uncomfortable again and was reluctant to leave her children!

"Mom! You're not marrying off far away! You're just a few blocks away from Big Brother's house. Isn't it the same as when you were living at home?"

Seeing her mother becoming sad again, Zhou Yu quickly stood up and put his hand on her forehead to comfort her...

For some reason, the closer her wedding got, the more timid her mother became, and she often wiped away her tears secretly, which made Zhou Yu very confused.

Could it be that even after getting married for the second time, he still has pre-marital phobia? Zhou Yu thought to himself.

"Mom, don't worry! We are all grown up and can take care of ourselves!

God has been unfair to you for so many years, making you meet the wrong people and suffer so much. Maybe it is all for you to meet Uncle Zelin in the second half of your life, and be cherished, loved, and live happily ever after!

Mother! You will definitely be happy! "

Zhou Yu hugged her mother and gave her sincere wishes.

"Wow..."

After hearing this, Zheng was so moved that she burst into tears and hugged Zhou Yu tightly, saying:

"Ayu, Mom doesn't regret marrying your dad at all. Even though he's not a good person, if it weren't for him, Mom wouldn't have sensible children like you!

These past few years, I haven't felt any hardship at all. On the contrary, I'm very grateful to God for letting me be your mother!"

My brother and I are also very grateful to God for letting us be your children!

Zhou Yu also said silently in his heart.

…

The two of them hugged each other for a long time...

Until... Zhou Yu got tired of holding...

"Ayu, why are you feeling my pulse?" Zheng couldn't help but let go of her daughter, pointing at her wrist that was being held, and asked in confusion.

"Mom, let me check on you!" Zhou Yu said calmly with his eyes closed while feeling her mother's pulse.

After a while, she opened her eyes and said to her mother, shaking her head like the old doctors:

"Mother, I've checked your pulse and you're in very good health! Plus, you're only thirty-seven now...

My daughter thinks that after you marry Uncle Zelin, you will definitely be able to give us a brother or sister soon!

Little Ying has wanted a brother or sister for a long time! ! "

Zheng...

She was immediately embarrassed by her daughter's words and her face turned red. In anger, she picked up the ruler in the sewing basket next to her and hit her daughter's head with it...

"Okay? You little bastard, you actually dared to tease your mother. I'll beat you to death today!"

When Zhou Yu saw this, he giggled and dodged, begging for mercy...

Little Zhou Ying saw this scene when she came in from outside. Before she could figure out the reason, her elder sister pulled her over and stood in front of her.

"Ouch! Mother, please forgive me. I won't dare to do it again!"

Zhou Yu hid behind his sister and begged Zheng for help.

When Zheng saw Zhou Ying, she remembered what Zhou Yu had said just now, that Ah Ying had long wanted a brother or sister, and her face turned red again.

She felt too embarrassed to hit Zhou Yu anymore, so she quickly smoothed her hair, which had been messed up by the commotion, and pretended to be calm as she went about her needlework...

Zhou Yu couldn't continue joking with her mother in front of her younger sister, so he coughed and asked her mother what else she hadn't prepared...

Zhou Ying was left standing there, filled with curiosity. She really wanted to know what her elder sister had said to their mother that had made her face turn as red as a boiled shrimp?!

…

The Zhou family was enjoying themselves, but the servants in the Duke Su's mansion were all silent...

It was because after their prince came back from the Dali Temple, he was called over by the old Duke, who personally enforced the family rules on him and beat him half to death!

Now their prince is still lying half-dead in the outer courtyard. The princess wants to call the imperial physician, but the old Duke won't let her! He even says that even if he dies, it's his own fault!

…

The reason why Duke Su was so furious was actually related to Zhu Xi...

Originally, Duke Su was unwilling to believe that his son was the murderer who tortured and killed those women...

But because Zhu Xi had taken Song Yi away from the prison a few days ago without informing him, Ding, the steward in their mansion who was in charge of Song Yi's case, knew that he had taken Song Yi away, but did not mention it to him...

Duke Su knew about this matter because one of his adopted sons happened to invite the official who handled the matter to dinner, and the official mentioned it by accident!

The official also said that Zhu Xi left a message before he left, saying that if they still wanted to cause trouble for Song Yi, they could just go find him!

His son had told him about Song Yi's imprisonment, but what his son had told him at the time was that Song Yi had extorted and interrogated the slaves on their farm for no reason, and had even injured someone, so they reported him to the police and had him arrested...

But Duke Su felt that if that was the case, then even if Song Yi had a history with the Zhou family and had relied on the Zhou family's connections to get to Zhu Xi, Zhu Xi would definitely not have taken him away without saying hello... and even left him with a few words...

After all, he was his great-uncle. Even if Zhu Xi was related to his wife's family, he couldn't possibly humiliate him like this for the sake of his grandmother...

Besides, even if he told him about such a small matter, would he still not give him face?

It's impossible that boy doesn't even understand the ways of the world?!

Unless... that kid feels that their family is not in the right in this matter!

In addition, the official had clearly reported the matter to Steward Ding in their mansion, but Steward Ding concealed it and did not tell him, which made Duke Su even more suspicious of the matter!

So, Duke Su sent his confidant to investigate, and found out that the matter was not what his son told him at all. It was Song Yi who provoked their Duke Su Mansion, but his son fell in love with Song Yi's wife, so he asked Steward Ding to frame Song Yi!

If Zhou Jin hadn't intervened at that time, Song Yi's wife would have been taken away by his son by now!

If it was just this, Duke Su wouldn't be so angry. At most, he would give Song Yi more money and let him marry a wife...

However, because of the incident of Song Yi's wife, his people forced the steward Ding to tell them about Song Yi's wife's sister, the maid in their house, and her death seemed to be related to his son!

Duke Su knew about that girl. She had originally been serving in his concubine's courtyard, but because he happened to need help with something with his son that day, he asked her to help pass on a message. Unexpectedly, his son took a fancy to her and begged him to let her stay and serve in his study in the outer courtyard...

But a few days later, the girl fell ill and died...

But now Steward Ding said that the night before the girl died, her son had left her in the study. His son had sent all the servants on duty that night away, including Steward Ding, leaving only his son's staff member inside to watch over her...

In the second half of the night, the aide called Manager Ding to help him carry the girl. Manager Ding said that at that time, the girl was already dying, covered in wounds, and unconscious!

She struggled in her own room until dawn and then died!

As soon as he died, the aide ordered Manager Ding to take him away and burn him!

This wasn't some kind of sudden illness! He was clearly tortured to death by his son!

Thinking of the dozens of women who were tortured and killed in Zhuangzi, Duke Su suddenly broke out in a cold sweat! He felt terrible!

Therefore, once Lan Renhao was released from the Dali Temple, Duke Su was furious and beat him half to death...

But he didn't dare to tell anyone about his doubts. After all, he was his own son, and he couldn't bear to hand him over to be cut into pieces. He had to hold his anger and deal with Manager Ding for him!

Duke Suguo was so frustrated that he was about to die. His anger flared up immediately. Not only did a large blister appear at the corner of his mouth, but the old knife wounds on his chest and abdomen also flared up, causing him unbearable pain...

Duke Su, who was lying on his sickbed, felt that he could no longer keep his son, and secretly decided that after some time, when the current turmoil had passed, he would deprive him of his position as the crown prince on the grounds that he was unfit for important tasks.

From now on, his title will be passed directly to his grandson!

As for his son, he should be locked up in the farm for life!
