Chapter 404: Unwelcome

"I……"

"I don't care what you think, or how you left the Northern Territory. Even though I've lived in the inner mansion for a long time, I can't be fooled by a few words."

"mother."

"Go out." Wu Yue pointed at the door and said to Zhou Yunhai, "If you feel uncomfortable staying at home, you can take your wife and leave."

Zhou Yunhai was silent, and finally said, "I understand, mother."

Zhou Yunhai said this and turned to leave.

When he returned to the yard, he looked at the sky and let out a deep breath.

Zhou Yunjia held the book and squinted his eyes as he looked at his brother standing in the yard. He turned around silently and walked towards his room.

"Why are you hiding from me?" Zhou Yunhai's eyes are much better than Zhou Yunjia's.

Seeing Zhou Yunhai notice him, Zhou Yunjia stopped and said to him, "I don't really want to talk to you, so I want to sneak away."

After saying that, he said to Zhou Yunhai: "Second brother, can't you just pretend you didn't see me?"

Zhou Yunhai: “…”

While Zhou Yunhai was speechless, Zhou Yunjia hurried back to his room with his books.

Zhou Yunhai sighed deeply. Why did he suddenly become so unpopular?

…

When Zhou Yunzhi took his two children back to his yard in turn, his mother Li Jialan and his wife Fang Huiwen were sitting in the yard doing needlework.

Seeing Zhou Yunzhi and his son playing around, Fang Huiwen smiled and said, "Is it fun?"

Yuan Li and Yuan Yi nodded in unison, "Fun!"

So this is what it's like to be in a wheelchair! It feels so good not to have to walk!

Zhou Yunzhi patted the two children's heads and said, "Do you know what we should do now?"

The two little ones nodded, closed the gate on their side together, and took the wooden spears that Zhou Yunzhi had made for them and started training back and forth.

Yes, Yuanli and Yuanyi, as the oldest children of their generation, would practice spear skills for half an hour when they got home after finishing their regular martial arts training and courses every day.

While the two children were practicing shooting, Li Jialan glanced at Kang Kang who was lying on the small bed next to them.

He was happily playing with a red cloth ball and didn't even notice his grandmother's frown.

Well, at his age, even if he saw it, it wouldn't be much of a comfort.

"mother."

Li Jialan turned to look at Zhou Yunzhi and asked, "Didn't you see your grandmother?"

"Um."

There was a pair of red tiger-head shoes on the table in front of Li Jialan, and she was sewing another pair of identical tiger-head shoes in her hands.

Even though Pingping and Kangkang are not together, whenever Li Jialan makes clothes and shoes for Kangkang, she will never leave Pingping out.

"Xixi, are you really going to be the emperor?"

Xixi suddenly disappeared and then suddenly appeared in the capital, and even wanted to become the emperor. This incident shocked Li Jialan and others.

He was an exile just a second ago, but in the blink of an eye, Xixi is about to become the emperor!

This is really the impermanence of life.

Zhou Yunzhi nodded and said to Li Jialan: "If nothing unexpected happens, yes."

And with Ji Sheng by Xixi's side, this accident would not happen.

"Then can we go back to the capital?"

Zhou Yunzhi looked at Fang Huiwen and shook his head, "Not for now."

As long as the Zhou family’s grievances are not redressed, they will not be able to return to the capital.

Not to mention that they are now illegal immigrants and all their current identities are fake.

Compared to whether she could return to the capital, Li Jialan was more worried about her daughter. "Any news about your sister?"

It has been such a long time since they left, and there is still no news from Zhou Yunshu. Li Jialan is almost going crazy with worry.

Zhou Yunzhi said, "No matter where she was before, Xixi is about to become the new emperor, and Shu'er will definitely go to the capital."

Not only Ji Sheng and Zhou Yunzhi knew that Zhou Yunshu was going to the capital, Ji Mingzhu also knew.

That morning, not long after Zhou Yunshu went out with Pingping and Chunque, a letter was stuffed into her hand by someone passing by.

The letter was given to Chunque. When Chunque touched the letter, his hand unconsciously clenched into a fist.

Chunque prided herself on her martial arts skills, but she didn't even notice when the man stuffed a letter into her body.

The three of them came to a teahouse. When Chunque handed the letter over, she said to Zhou Yunshu with a bad look on her face, "I'm sorry, Master. I didn't realize who delivered the letter."

"Nothing."

Zhou Yunshu handed Pingping in her arms to Chunque, and took the letter and opened it herself.

As soon as the letter was opened, Zhou Yunshu saw the familiar mark in the lower left corner, and then she looked at the content of the letter.

The content was just one sentence, asking her to go to Wanzhu Garden.

Wanzhu Garden is a famous garden in the capital. It is the property of a wealthy businessman from Jiangnan, but in fact it is the private property of Ji Mingzhu.

"We have to move somewhere else."

Zhou Yunshu put the letter back in its place and stood up.

Chunque held Pingping in her arms and followed closely behind Zhou Yunshu, "Master, where are we going?"

"Wanzhu Garden."

After the two of them came out of the teahouse holding the child, they stood at a random place and prepared to call a carriage.

Although Wanzhu Garden is in the capital, it is in the East City, which is still some distance away from the East City.

But they didn't wait for the carriage, but waited for Liu Aifang to arrive first.

In other words, they saw Liu Aifang, but Liu Aifang did not see Zhou Yunshu and the others at the beginning.

In less than a year, Liu Aifang had completely lost the beauty and charm she had when she was in the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion.

Her face was full of sorrow, and the clothes she wore were no longer made of the most fashionable materials and styles in the capital. She didn't even have a few decent pieces of jewelry on her. She looked as if she had aged ten years.

With her was a girl about fourteen or fifteen years old, who was wearing much brighter and prettier clothes than Liu Aifang.

"Mom, I want the magnolia hairpin from Bicui Pavilion. Let's go buy it!"

When Liu Aifang heard Huang Feilan's words, she subconsciously reached for her purse. After she remarried into the Huang family as a second wife, her life was completely different from her previous life in the Zhou family.

When she was in the Zhou family, not only did she not spend her own private money and dowry, she also had no use for the expenses given by the Zhenbei Palace.

But less than a year after marrying into the Huang family, her dowry was about to be spent.

When Liu Aifang thought of this, she couldn't help but touch her belly. If her belly was better, she wouldn't have to spend so much money on Huang Feilan and the others.

"Do you want to buy it for me?" Huang Feilan couldn't help but raise her voice when she saw Liu Aifang was silent. "It's just a small magnolia hairpin. When you first got married, you were a person who had seen the world. You wouldn't even buy me a small magnolia hairpin! I don't want the stars in the sky!"

Seeing many people looking at her, Liu Aifang quickly said to Huang Feilan, "Buy, buy, buy! Isn't it okay for me to buy it for you?"

When Liu Aifang finished speaking and went to get her purse, she turned her head and happened to meet the eyes of Zhou Yunshu who was standing next to the teahouse.
