To be honest, she doesn't want such a good son anymore, a good son who wants to send her to jail.
Concubine Shu reached out and pulled the person up, still speaking softly.
"Alright, it doesn't matter whether I forgive you or not. Anyway, I'm still your stepmother."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Zeyu began to get anxious. He never thought that after what happened today, his sister actually didn't believe him. If his sister didn't believe him, then it was even more likely that his father wouldn't believe him either.
He failed to steal the chicken and ended up losing the rice. Zhou Zeyu shook his body and knelt down again in front of Concubine Shu, tears in his eyes.
Keep whispering.
"Mother... so you don't want your son anymore? I saw you faint in the cold palace, and in a moment of desperation, I couldn't help but say those hurtful words to you. Please forgive me, mother."
Shufei felt a headache and was a little tired. Looking at the stubborn man kneeling on the ground, she once again controlled her temper and reached out to help the man up.
"I've already said that I don't blame you. Since Li Shuren in the cold palace is fine, I will report this to the emperor and quickly find out why Li Shuren fainted for no apparent reason. As for you, if you want to return to Li Shuren or go to one of the concubines in the harem, I will report this to the emperor and grant you your wish."
"Nuannuan, thank you for helping me, Second Prince. Thank you for helping me out today."
Today, Concubine Shu's complexion did not look good. She looked a little pale at the moment. I think it was because she was shocked just now.
Seeing that Concubine Shu was really about to leave, Zhou Zeyu immediately became anxious. He couldn't leave Chonghua Palace without achieving his goal.
Zhou Zeyu couldn't catch Concubine Shu who was slowly moving towards the main hall, so he grabbed Zhou Zhaonuan nearby and thought it was so miserable.
"Sister, sister, Yu'er begs you, please let Mother Shu accept me again. Yu'er really didn't mean it. Yu'er was wrong. Yu'er no longer has a mother. If Mother Shu doesn't want me anymore, Yu'er will really have no mother."
Upon hearing this, the Concubine Shu in front of her shook slightly.
Just at this moment, Zhou Zeen ran over, took Shufei's hand, and called sweetly.
"Don't be sad, mother. En'er is different from her brother. She likes you and loves being with you. She will stay with you."
These days, Zhou Zeen felt that Zhou Zeyu was becoming more and more unfamiliar. If possible, he didn't want to stay with him all the time. Since he didn't like being with his mother, it would be good for him to leave.
Concubine Shu felt a lump in her throat and could no longer hold back. She picked up the confused Zhou Ze'en and continued walking towards the main hall.
"Mother knows that En'er is the most sensible and well-behaved. Let's go."
Zhou Zeyu was crying and sobbing, and Zhou Zhaonuan was infected by his emotions and could not help herself. She had witnessed Zhou Zeyu's birth until now. After a pause, Zhou Zhaonuan pushed Zhou Zeyu away, gave him a "reassured" look, and trotted to chase Shufei.
"Madam Shu, Madam Shu, wait for me."
Zhou Zhaonuan called out twice anxiously, which made Concubine Shu, who had just stepped into the hall, stunned for a moment. She turned around and spoke in a calm tone, as if she knew exactly what she was here for.
"If Princess is doing this for the Second Prince, please don't bother. I will find an opportunity to report this to the Emperor."
Shufei and Chen Nian'an have always been close and have been very nice to her. Zhou Zhaonuan rarely saw Shufei with a cold face, and at this moment she was sure that Shufei was really hurt.
Looking back at Zhou Zeyu, he was still kneeling on the ground with his back straight under the scorching sun, wiping his tears with his hands. After all, he was her younger brother whom she had seen grow up. Zhou Zhaonuan shook her head helplessly and wanted to say a few more words. If Concubine Shu really disagreed, she would have no choice but to see if she could find a foster mother for Zhou Zeyu.
"Madam Shu."
Nuannuan turned around and saw nothing in front of her. She didn't know when Concubine Shu had entered the bedroom with Zhou Zeen in her arms. She sighed deeply and went after him again.
"Madam Shu."
The voice came before the person appeared. Concubine Shu's expression was not very good. She held back and did not want to vent her anger on an innocent person. Before Zhou Zhaonuan could speak, Concubine Shu ordered the wet nurse to carry Zhou Ze'en away, and said something to Zhou Zhaonuan in a neither light nor heavy tone.
"Princess, you've been so busy lately that you might not know some things. These past few days, I've seen Zhou Zeyu and Zhou Bihe get very close, which isn't a big deal. However, recently, after leaving the Shangshufang, they didn't return to my Chonghua Palace first, but instead went to Concubine Liang's place. This is unclear. Nuannuan, some things might not be groundless. Of course, maybe I'm overthinking it. I remember that Li Shuren from the cold palace was very close to Concubine Liang in the past."
Zhou Zhaonuan was stunned. She had no idea about these things and felt quite embarrassed for a moment.
"Then Madam Shu, let me talk to Yu'er first. You should have a good rest."
Zhou Zhaonuan walked away dejectedly. When she came out of the bedroom, she saw Zhou Zeyu who was still wiping away tears with a wronged look on his face. At this moment, she had no mood to help him.
This Yu'er, I'm afraid, is really plotting something with Concubine Liang to harm Empress Shu. If so, then they will be the next to suffer.
"Sister, now that you're here, does Mother really not want me anymore?"
Zhou Zeyu pursed his lips, not to mention how aggrieved he felt. Zhou Zhaonuan stepped forward, suppressed all the questions in her heart, and smiled bitterly.
"It's okay, since Madam Shu doesn't want you, then..."
Zhou Zhaonuan suddenly had an idea and immediately came up with a plan, "If Yu'er is willing, Yu'er can go with me and acknowledge Concubine Hui as your mother. From now on, you can live in the Pepper Palace."
Zhou Zeyu: “…”
The road in his mind was suddenly illuminated for several miles. There was such a good thing in this world. Although he failed to kill Concubine Shu, it seemed that it would be nice to be able to be with the favorite concubine he hated the most. In this way, when he wanted to do something in the future, wouldn't it be easier to do it?
Zhou Zeyu pretended to hesitate for a few seconds, then lowered his head and nodded dejectedly.
"Sister, Yu'er knows and is willing to go, but will the emperor agree? Also, Empress Hui is pregnant now, will she accept me?"
Zhou Zeyu lost his confidence. He is now a child without the love of his mother.
Zhou Zhaonuan didn't think so. Since there were some clues, she would keep the man by her side and have someone watch him. She didn't believe that he could do anything weird to her under her nose.
Nuannuan smiled gently, pulled Zhou Zeyu up and walked towards the Pepper Room.
"Father, I'll go and tell your sister that I'm always being unreasonable. Even if he doesn't agree, I'll force him to agree. As for mother, you don't have to worry about her. If she doesn't want you, don't you still have me, your sister? I want you."
