Chapter 244 Imprisonment



After thanking the servant, Madam Luo sat down and looked around.

On weekdays, she was always locked up at home by Luo Qingshan. Perhaps he was afraid that she would embarrass herself if she went out alone, so he restricted her a lot.

This time she found Luo Zhaozhao's letter, and she felt dizzy and helpless for a moment. She couldn't think of many solutions, so she ran over to find Gu Qingsheng in a panic.

Unexpectedly, she ended up in Chu Zhiyao's house by mistake. Mrs. Luo's heart tightened continuously. She clutched her clothes tightly and then kept loosening them, and finally she sighed.

Well, I'll wait for Zhao Zhao to wake up and go see her...

"Madam, why are you here?"

After thinking about it for a long time, Mrs. Luo finally heard Chu Zhiyao's voice.

She looked up with complicated eyes, and was met with the handsome face of Chu Zhiyao. She sighed even more in her heart, and suddenly a surge of anger rose up, and she clutched her dress even tighter.

"Ah, Lieutenant General, I wanted to come and see Zhao Zhao. Is she awake?"

Chu Zhiyao offered Madam Luo a cup of tea and said politely

"She has been in poor health recently. I think she may have slept a little too much. If the old lady doesn't mind, we can wait a little longer."

"Of course I don't mind."

But perhaps even Mrs. Luo herself did not notice that her hand holding the teacup was shaking.

The more the person in front of her smiled at her, the more she thought of Luo Zhaozhao crying in front of her.

"Didn't Lord Luo come with you today? You two usually seem to be very close, but it's quite surprising that only Madam is here today."

Chu Zhiyao knew about Madam Luo's illness from his previous life, but he also knew that Luo Zhaozhao loved her very much. Madam Luo died early in his previous life, and he did not have time to understand what kind of person she was.

Today is...

After watching Madam Luo for a while, Chu Zhiyao took a sip of tea.

She seemed...scared?

Scared? Why?

"Ah...Mr. He...he went out today and hasn't come back yet."

While answering Chu Zhiyao's words, Madam Luo felt her heart trembling. She didn't dare to look directly into Chu Zhiyao's eyes. There was a hint of coercion in them that made her head numb quickly.

Realizing that something might go wrong if she continued like this, Mrs. Luo covered her head and stood up.

"Forget it. I'll take my leave today. If Zhao Zhao wakes up, tell her I've been here and tell her to come find me at the mansion when she's free."

"Her father got a very good ginseng. If there's a chance..."

After hesitating for a while, Mrs. Luo suddenly felt that what she said seemed to be nonsense.

No matter how good the ginseng is, it is not as good as the stuff from Chu Zhiyao. His stuff is all given by the emperor, which cannot be compared with a small ginseng.

"If there's a chance, I'll let Zhao Zhao go back and get it. She's not feeling well right now and can't move. When she's better and can travel, I'll take her out. What do you think, Madam?"

Even so, Chu Zhiyao was still very polite. Madam Luo looked at him twice and turned her head away.

"Then I'll leave first."

As she stood up and took a step, something suddenly fell from the hem of her skirt.

She stuffed the papers into her arms randomly. Because she had been squeezing her clothes, the papers, which were already light, fell down because of her big movements.

It just floated to Chu Zhiyao's feet.

Chu Zhiyao bent down to pick up the paper from the ground, held it in front of his eyes and took a look. Mrs. Luo turned around and her pupils suddenly shrank.

That was the evidence of Chu Zhiyao's treason that was shown to Gu Qingsheng just now.

Feeling anxious, Mrs. Luo stretched out her hand to grab it. Chu Zhiyao raised the paper in his hand, a hint of sinisterness flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared, and he smiled softly.

"Why is the old lady so nervous?"

He turned around, patted Madam Luo's shoulder and pressed her to the chair beside him. His fingertips felt Madam Luo's trembling, and the corners of his lips curled deeper.

"You are my future mother-in-law, and Zhao Zhao's mother. I cannot respect you enough."

"Your relationship with Zhao Zhao is enviable. She actually told you something like this..."

As he spoke, Chu Zhiyao's eyes gradually deepened, and he slowly pursed his lips.

"I clearly told her not to tell anyone..."

Hearing the coldness in Chu Zhiyao's words, Mrs. Luo shuddered and grabbed Chu Zhiyao's hand.

"No, it was me. I found it in her room. Zhao Zhao didn't tell me!"

"That's fine."

Patted Mrs. Luo's shoulder gently

"Even if Zhao Zhao told you that, it doesn't matter. You know, I have always respected you. However, this kind of dangerous thing..."

"How can I carry it with me? It just fell in front of me. If it fell in front of someone else, it would be bad..."

His voice became smaller and smaller, and Mrs. Luo felt increasingly cold in the heart.

"Someone come."

Standing up, the oppression finally left Mrs. Luo, and Chu Zhiyao shouted to the door.

"Please ask Madam to go to the side room and have a good rest. Also, send someone to tell the Governor that Madam has fallen ill while visiting Zhao Zhao and needs to rest here for a while."

"By the way, I'd like to mention that because my wife's illness this time was so severe, I asked the governor to announce to the public that my wife is recuperating at home, and not to publicize this matter in my house."

The servant looked at Madam Luo, whose face was pale, and lowered his head.

"yes."

Then he retreated.

Mrs. Luo's heart was as clear as a mirror. It seemed that this was a blatant attempt to imprison her.

Fortunately, it was just imprisonment, nothing else would happen. Mrs. Luo held the head of the chair tightly, bit her lower lip and asked

"Then, when can I go out and..."

Chu Zhiyao thought for a while

"Perhaps... when my great cause is about to be accomplished, Madam's illness may be cured."

All her strength was drained away, and Madam Luo fell heavily to the ground.

"But don't worry."

Chu Zhiyao continued

"I hold a high position, Zhao Zhao can also live a good life, and Madam will naturally enjoy the happiness with me."

After saying this, he let the servant pull Madam Luo away.

Just as he walked out the door, he happened to run into Chunguo who had just served tea to Luo Zhaozhao.

The woman was dragged away by the servant, and when he saw the happy fruit, he grabbed her skirt.

Xiguo jumped back two steps in shock, spilling the tea in his hand, but he did not break free. He frowned and said to Madam Luo:

"Are you going to die?!"

Mrs. Luo didn't feel anything at all when being scolded by a servant. She just shook her head at Xiguo with a sad brow, and looked at the tea she spilled. It was Luo Zhaozhao's favorite Biluochun.

He immediately knew who the tea was for, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"I……"
