Chapter 265: Even in this situation, there is still a fight at home
Zhou Xiaocheng knew that he couldn't get angry at this moment. Although he had lost the throne, he could not lose his dignity as a human being.
He looked at Zhou Yan, who took out a silver ingot from his pocket and said to the Lord of Yicheng, "Tell me, how much do you want to pay?"
"Two taels of silver"
The Lord of Yicheng did not ask for an exorbitant amount. These tables and chairs were not made of precious materials, so two taels of silver were enough.
The Lord of Yicheng withheld two taels and returned the rest to them.
"Master Tang, what do you think we should do? Do you want to find a piece of land in Yicheng to farm? Or do you want to leave here and go somewhere else?"
"Let's go."
At this time, Zhou Xiaocheng no longer called himself "Zhen".
If others call him "Lord Tang", he would probably be laughed at as soon as they turn around, right?
After leaving the headman's office, the Queen Mother said again: "Master, let's go find Jingchen? Let's surrender."
"Give in? Give in as hell!" Zhou Xiaocheng was so angry that he wanted to kill Zhou Shaoyu with a palm from the air.
"Pei Yue, don't mention your son and daughter again. I have no kinship with them!"
The Empress, no, Pei Yue, burst into tears: "Why are you yelling at me? He was sent to Kyoto when he was young..."
"Even though he was sent to Kyoto, he was raised astray by that bastard Fujian. He is unfilial to his parents and disrespectful to his ancestors. I really hate him for not being killed by Fujian in Kyoto. It would be better to kill him or cripple him than to treat me like this now."
Zhou Xiaocheng's eyes turned red with hatred.
"When he came back from Kyoto, I was so excited that I wanted to take out my heart and feed it to him, but now he treats me like this!"
"Ms. Pei, you gave birth to a good son!"
"If you want to have a deep mother-son relationship with him, go find him and let him be your queen mother!"
Zhuge held him back and said, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. I'm not trying to curry favor with him. Besides, currying favor with him is useless. I'm just thinking that we have nowhere to go now, so we need to find a place to stay."
"Where can we find a place to stay?" Zhou Xiaocheng said angrily, "Not only will we not look for him, we won't even stay in this damn Jiuzhou. We will go back to our original fiefdom."
Pei Yue snorted and said, "That place is already Jiuzhou's territory."
"We're going to the northwest, across the mountains, to the border. I don't believe that someone would have to look for a branch in Kyushu to hang himself!"
He prepared a horse-drawn carriage and an ox-drawn cart, and asked Chen Yuanyuan, Shen Yangyang and his two daughters to sit in the horse-drawn carriage, and drove Pei Yue to the ox-drawn cart to sit with Zhuge and his two concubines.
Zhuge looked at Pei Yue and said sarcastically, "Sister, it's really unfair for you to live with us. You can go find your children. What's the point of following us? The master doesn't want to confer you the title of empress now. You still have to rely on the few pieces of silver I brought from the palace for food and shelter!"
Pei Yue closed her eyes and said softly, "Zhuge, I don't want to argue with you. We don't know whether we can survive or not. What are you arguing with me about? If I don't go to look for my son, I can still go back to my mother's family. Although I am no longer the Duke of Zhenguo, I still have my mother's family. What about you? The entire Zhuge family is gone. Why are you laughing at me?"
Zhuge cried out, rushed over to fight with Pei Yue, and cursed: "Wasn't it your son who killed him? You are a jinx, you killed my family, and now you are trying to deprive me of the throne."
Zhou Xiaocheng didn't want to pay any attention to their fight and just kept driving.
Zhou Xiaocheng drove the carriage all the way westward. He did not leave the border of Jiuzhou that day and rested in a small town called Huangjiagou at night. Zhou Xiaocheng asked for three upper rooms, and the rest slept in the large dormitory.
There were three rooms upstairs, one for himself, one for Zhou Yan, and one for Pei Yue.
He was angry and didn't want to rest with Pei Yue. He wanted to call Chen Yuanyuan, but he was afraid of losing the child, so he finally called Zhuge.
Most people need to find an outlet to vent their intense emotions, so Zhou Xiaocheng raised his sword and mounted his horse against Zhuge all night, Zhuge meowed all night, and Pei Yue stayed alone in a room and did not sleep all night.
The two concubines, Zhou and Wang, also did not sleep all night. They listened to the cat-and-dog fight between Zhou Xiaocheng and Zhuge, and felt jealous and mocking.
Zhou Xiaocheng asked for three upper rooms, but they were not included, so they lived in a large bunk bed with their daughters.
Both of them wanted to say something in the darkness, but they didn't dare to speak first.
Finally, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help asking Mrs. Wang, "Sister Wang, are we really going to follow the master to the Northwest?"
Wang said, "But where else can we go if not to the Northwest? The master insists on going, and I can't persuade him."
For a while, the two of them didn't speak.
Zhou said, "I don't want to go, Sister Wang. I don't know what the master is thinking now, but it is impossible for him to restore the country, and it is not easy to live a rich life. The master has no money at all, and it is difficult for so many of us to survive."
Zhou said that she was not afraid of hardship, but she was afraid that Sister Zhuge and the master would plot against her daughter, and then use her daughter to exchange for money to support the two young pregnant women, or to pave the way for Zhou Yan.
This is what Wang fears the most.
"Sister Wang, the Empress of the Nine Provinces is a very capable person. I want to go to her and support myself with my own hands. I hope she can help this concubine sister and find a good family."
"Can you do it?"
"It's more reliable than Zhuge's, right?"
Wang and Zhou were silent for a long time again.
As the two of them talked, their two daughters were listening. They had originally lived in the palace for fourteen years and only a few months in the palace. In the final analysis, they had never suffered any hardship.
Wang's daughter Zhou Lingyu said, "Let's just follow our father and see what happens. He should have his own plan."
Zhou didn't dare to say a word.
In the darkness, she took her daughter's hand and quietly wrote a line of words on her palm: Pack your bags and let's leave.
Wang and her daughter always thought that Zhou and Zhou Youyan would escape at night, but the mother and daughter did not make any movement.
Before dawn, Wang and Zhou Lingyu fell asleep. Zhou and her daughter got up quietly, without wearing shoes, and ran out of the inn barefoot. After leaving the inn, they put on their shoes and ran away immediately.
When Zhou Xiaocheng and his group were having breakfast in the morning, they discovered that Zhou and her daughter Zhou Youyan were missing, and Zhou Xiaocheng searched everywhere for them.
Wang and Zhou Lingyu did not expose them. They just watched coldly to see what Zhou Xiaocheng would do.
Zhou Xiaocheng was indeed very anxious and searched the inn thoroughly. Pei Yue said, "Don't look for it anymore. She must be gone. Her package and clothes are gone. Or both of them are gone at the same time. She must not want to go to the northwest and left on her own."
Zhou Xiaocheng cursed the bitch, saying that true qualities are revealed in times of adversity.
Pei Yue sneered: "Why should I stay? Do you have a throne or a mine to inherit?"
"What did you do as a mistress? The concubine is missing, the young lady is missing, and you are still acting weird? Isn't it because of your bad morals that the six houses are in turmoil?"
After hearing these words, Pei Yue simply said, "Why, my husband wants to divorce me?"
Zhou Xiaocheng was choked and frowned, "Stop talking nonsense, pack up your things and let's go."
"Master, have you decided where to go?"
"Go to Lingxi, Yu family."
"Is it because Yu Shanhe owes Jingchen and Xie Yanyan a favor?"
“.”
"Aren't you afraid that the Yu family will also receive a report with the imperial seal?"
“.”
