Chapter 427: Occupy the Magpie's Nest
When Li Jialan saw Zhou Yunshu returning safely, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"mother!"
Before Li Jialan called Zhou Yunshu, she got off her horse and ran towards her mother.
Zhou Yunshu hated seeing her mother cry the most in her life.
"Shu'er."
Li Jialan's voice was trembling. When she hugged her daughter in her arms, her heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
While Zhou Yunshu and Li Jialan were talking intimately, Wu Yue and Yuan Ruo also came to Wu Gui's side, "Gui'er."
"mother!"
Yuan Ruo ran happily to his mother. As soon as he stretched out his hand, Wu Gui hugged him tightly in her arms.
Wu Gui touched her son's little face and called out to Wu Yue, who was looking at her eagerly, "Mom."
"Why!"
When Wu Yue heard that Wu Gui was still willing to call her "Mom", her previously clenched heart relaxed a little.
"Mom has cooked your favorite dish for you. Once we get home and put everything away, we'll go eat."
"good."
Zhou Yunshu and Wu Gui walked in front with the Zhou family's children. Feng Xujie went to find his aunt Fang Huiwen. As for He Nianzhang and Lu Zongping, they looked at their sons.
He Zizhen and Lu Changfeng were both standing among their friends in the school, as if they had not seen their biological father at all.
Looking at his son who didn't even glance at him and was teasing people around, Lu Zongping couldn't help but shouted, "Lu Changfeng, you little bastard, didn't you see your father coming?"
He didn't even say hello, how could he give birth to such a tactless bastard!
Lu Changfeng rolled his eyes at his father, blatantly left Lu Zongping with the stick in his hand and walked towards Zhou's house.
Lu Zongping's anger suddenly rose, "Lu Changfeng! Who are you rolling your eyes at, you little bastard?"
Just as Lu Zongping and Lu Changfeng were chasing each other, He Nian Zhang looked at his son.
He Zizhen did not disrespect his biological father like Lu Changfeng did, but compared to their previous intimacy, after experiencing so many things, He Zizhen no longer admired his father as much as before.
He stepped forward politely and said to He Nianzhang, "Dad, please come this way."
He Nianzhang looked at his son and wanted to say something, but seeing He Zizhen's small figure with his back turned, he was silent for a moment and then asked, "How are your studies lately?"
"Good."
"Are you used to living in Dongwang Village?"
"Good."
"How are you getting along with your classmates?"
"Good."
He Nian Zhang looked at his son who was perfunctorily treating him, stopped, and found that his son not only did not notice that he stopped, but continued to walk forward alone. He slowly exhaled a breath, and then strode after the small figure.
"Zizhen."
"Um."
He Nianzhang looked at He Zizhen, who was becoming increasingly silent, and said in a deep voice, "You must maintain a good relationship with the Zhou family, be respectful to them, and understand your place."
He Zizhen's eyes darkened and he nodded without saying anything.
"If the Zhou family returns to the capital, you should take the initiative to tell your husband that you are willing to serve him."
The joy in He Zizhen's heart because his father came to see him disappeared without a trace.
"If you need money, tell me anytime. As long as you can be tied to the Zhou family." He Zizhen looked at the Zhou family members who were still some distance away in front of him and whispered, "Or if you can be with Mr. Zhou's daughter, Daddy is willing to give you the entire He family as a backing."
He Nian Zhang raised his hand and touched He Zizhen's little head. Even though he felt that he seemed to be resisting, he didn't care.
"You have to work hard. Whether the He family can soar beyond Haizhou depends on you."
He Nian Zhang was immersed in the great fantasy joy that his son would have if he became Ji Nanxi's confidant and the new emperor's study companion, and he did not notice the disappointment and sadness in his son's eyes at all.
Just as Zhou Yunshu had thought before, when she set out from the capital to return to Haizhou, her grandmother had already returned to the capital with her confidants.
The only one from the Zhou family in Dongwang Village who didn't go was Old Master Xue. As for the reasons why he didn't go, one was that Ji Mingzhu didn't call him; the other was that he really didn't want to go any further.
Although Ji Mingzhu took his men away, Zhou Yunhai and Ali were still at their home in Dongwang Village.
As soon as Zhou Yunshu and her group arrived at the door, Ali, with her belly bulging, called out to Wu Yue, who was coming in affectionately hugging Wu Gui's arm, "Mom, lunch is ready."
When the Zhou family saw Ali, their voices stopped and they all looked at her, causing Ali to smile uncomfortably. Then, she said with a smile like a host: "The food is ready, everyone can eat."
Wu Yue turned her face away coldly, and Li Jialan smiled and nodded.
When Zhou Yunhai heard the servants say that Ali went to the door to greet Zhou Yunshu and others, he hurried over from the side yard and happened to see this embarrassing scene.
"Yun Shu, you're back."
Zhou Yunshu smiled and nodded to Zhou Yunhai, then looked at Zhou Yunzhi who was standing in front of the main hall in the front yard, and Zhou Yunjia behind him.
"Brother, Yunjia!"
"sister!"
Zhou Yunjia was so happy to see Zhou Yunshu come back. After being happy, he looked around and didn't see the person he wanted to see. Zhou Yunjia asked in confusion: "Sister, where is my senior brother?"
He knew that Zhou Yunshu and Yang Yuhao came to Haizhou together, so Zhou Yunjia had been looking forward to Yang Yuhao's arrival during this period, and had been preparing to entertain Yang Yuhao well to thank Yang Yuhao for taking care of him before.
But now his sister is back, where is his senior brother?
"In the back?"
Zhou Yunshu looked at Zhou Yunjia, whose face was full of anticipation, and thought of Yang Yuhao who left Chunque without looking back in Yuncheng. She inexplicably felt a little sympathy for her nerdy brother.
"Young Master Yang left for something."
"Ah?" Zhou Yunjia was stunned for a moment, "But didn't my senior brother say he would come to Haizhou to see me?"
Zhou Yunshu stepped forward and patted Zhou Yunjia on the shoulder. She really wanted to say to him: Kid, you are really just an excuse and a cover for your senior brother to stay with Chunque.
“Plans can’t keep up with changes.”
Zhou Yunjia looked at Zhou Yunshu disappointedly, thought for a moment and said, "Okay, it just so happens that my poetry collection hasn't been completed yet. It would be better if he could read it after I finish it."
Zhou Yunjia couldn't tell that Zhou Yunshu was hesitant to speak, but Zhou Yunzhi saw it clearly.
But since we are finally reunited, it is better to put unimportant things aside.
After Ji Mingzhu left, the atmosphere of the family dinner at noon became much more relaxed than before. Even with Ali there, it was still relatively easy.
But after dinner, no matter what Wu Yue said, Wu Gui was not going to live in the previous courtyard. It was only when Li Jialan said that she missed Wu Gui and asked her to live with her that Wu Yue let go.
Although Wu Gui said she would not return to live in her previous courtyard, she still had to take back the things she had left there.
She is no longer the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, so there is no reason for her to take over the family.
