Chapter 405: Regret to the Point of No Return
Liu Aifang recognized Zhou Yunshu at first glance.
Although her appearance was slightly different now, she still recognized her at a glance.
Zhou Yunshu did not leave because of the eye contact with Liu Aifang. Instead, Liu Aifang subconsciously lowered her head after recognizing Zhou Yunshu.
"Are you going or not?"
"Go, go." Liu Aifang followed Huang Feilan and did not dare to look at Zhou Yunshu again.
Chunque looked at Liu Aifang's somewhat panicked fleeing figure across from him, and said to Zhou Yunshu beside him: "Master, five..."
Chunque felt that the word "five" was a little inappropriate after she said it, and immediately changed her words and said, "Miss Liu remarried."
Zhou Yunshu nodded, "Since we've parted ways, it's normal for the man and the woman to get married."
It’s just that Zhou Yunkun no longer has this opportunity.
After the two of them waited for the carriage to arrive, the driver and Zhou Yunshu had not gone far when they were blocked by Liu Aifang.
"Are you sick? You crash into the carriage in broad daylight!" The coachman looked at Liu Aifang who suddenly jumped out and tightened the reins, unable to help cursing.
Is it easy for him to work every day to support his family?
It's okay to occasionally see royal relatives riding horses in the busy streets; but there's nothing you can do if you see high-ranking officials traveling and clearing the road.
But now a woman who appeared out of nowhere is looking for trouble, he really can't stand it!
Liu Aifang didn't dare to retort when the driver scolded her. She only timidly explained to him, "I, I know the lady inside. Could you please let me in..."
Before Liu Aifang could finish her words, the curtain of the carriage was lifted by Chunque.
Liu Aifang still felt a sense of unreality when she got on the carriage and sat next to Zhou Yunshu.
It had been less than a year since the Zhou family, including women and children, were exiled, but it felt to her like half a lifetime had passed.
Zhou Yunshu looked at Liu Aifang's bun and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about, Madam?"
"Yun Shu, I, I..."
After seeing Zhou Yunshu, Liu Aifang no longer had the heart to think about anything else. Her mind was full of the Zhou family's plan to overturn the verdict and return to the capital!
When she thought that the Zhou family was coming back, Liu Aifang stuffed her purse into Huang Feilan's hands and ran back like crazy, for fear of missing Zhou Yunshu.
After finally stopping Zhou Yunshu's carriage, Liu Aifang didn't know what to say when faced with Zhou Yunshu's questions.
Did she say she regretted it?
If she had not left the Zhou family and severed ties with them, she would have only suffered for a period of time, and would have lived a life of luxury in the Zhenbei Palace without worries.
Now that Ji Nancy is about to ascend the throne, it is the best proof.
As long as Ji Nancy ascends the throne, the Zhou family will definitely overturn the verdict.
Why didn't she want to endure any hardship at all?
As a result, the suffering she didn't want to endure in exile was poured upon her in the form of various unspeakable experiences during this nearly one year period.
She didn't want to go through the hardships of the long journey of exile and famine, but when she returned home, her parents and relatives disliked her as a burden. Within a month, they married her off to a 40-year-old sixth-rank official as his second wife.
A woman who was once married to a young general of the Zhenbei Palace, remarried to an old man who was only a few years older than her own father. Who could accept this?
But because of the disgust and dislike that Liu Aifang unconsciously revealed when they just got married, Lord Huang also disliked her very much and found different ways to torture and scold her.
It was not until even a servant in the Huang family could curse Liu Aifang to her face, and Liu Aifang's life became so difficult that it was worse than that of a servant in the Zhenbei Palace, that she decided to break her spine and seriously serve the old man whom she despised in her heart.
Sometimes when she was about to give up, Liu Aifang thought, if only the Zhenbei Palace had not been ransacked, then she could still be the fifth young lady of the Zhenbei Palace, a pampered aunt in her natal family, and live a good life that everyone in the Great Zhou envied.
If it really didn't work out, it would have been better for her to leave with the Zhou family's women and children.
After all, the eldest princess accompanied the women and children of the Zhou family in exile. They might only suffer a little, and she could still accept a little hardship.
In general, from the moment Liu Aifang saw Zhou Yunshu, she really regretted it.
She wanted to abandon the entire Huang family and kneel in front of Zhou Yunshu, begging her to forgive her, begging the Zhou family to forgive her, and begging them to let her return to the Zhou family.
Zhou Yunshu watched Liu Aifang's expression change again and again, but she didn't say a word.
"If you're alright, I have something else to do."
When Liu Aifang heard Zhou Yunshu say this, she subconsciously asked, "Are you going to the palace?"
Ji Nancy is about to ascend the throne, and there is nothing wrong with Zhou Yunshu going to the palace as her mother.
If Zhou Yunshu is going to the palace, does that mean that the Zhou family will be in trouble soon?
Liu Aifang's eyes lit up as she thought about it. She looked at Zhou Yunshu eagerly and asked, "Is the Zhou family going to be rehabilitated? Are my mother and the others going back to the capital?"
"Madam, you have remarried and have no relationship with the Zhou family anymore."
Zhou Yunshu's words froze Liu Aifang's smile, which had rekindled her hope. "I..."
"If nothing else, you..."
"Yun Shu!"
Liu Aifang hurriedly interrupted Zhou Yunshu and said to her, "I, I, I am willing to be a widow to Yunkun. I can ask to leave the family and return to the Zhou family to be a widow to Yunkun!"
"I am willing to pray and chant sutras for Yun Kun in the ancestral hall in my next life. I am willing to do that!"
Liu Aifang spoke anxiously, and even raised her hand and swore at Zhou Yunshu for fear that she would not believe her.
Chunque frowned when she saw Liu Aifang like this. Does she know what she is saying? How can she have the nerve to say such a thing!
Zhou Yunshu looked at Liu Aifang calmly and said, "I suddenly feel a little relieved."
There was confusion in Liu Aifang's eyes. What was there to be thankful for?
"I'm glad Yun Kun didn't know you left the Zhou family until he died."
When Liu Aifang heard this, she froze in place.
"Just be thankful you two don't have any kids yet."
Liu Aifang's face was pale.
"You didn't do anything wrong when you left the Zhou family. Everyone has their own choices, and everyone should be responsible for their own choices."
Zhou Yunshu really didn't think there was anything wrong with Liu Aifang leaving the Zhou family. People have the instinct to seek good fortune and avoid harm. Liu Aifang just chose a path that she thought was better.
However, since she chose that path, she completely parted ways with the Zhou family.
There was no reason for her to stick with the Zhou family again just because the family was about to regain its former glory.
The Zhou family is not a recycling station.
Zhou Yunshu looked at Liu Aifang, who was pale and trembling unconsciously, and said, "Madam, you are now a member of someone else's family. Please do your duty well."
