Chapter 427: Rejected
Old Mrs. Zhou clearly saw her expression and was furious. How dare this worthless fellow look down on her!
It turns out to be useless!
Old Mrs. Zhou waved her hand in annoyance and told her to leave.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Mrs. Zhou Er curled her lips, answered yes, and left dejectedly.
Zhao Liya naturally knew that Mrs. Zhou had gone to Heyuan, but she didn't mind. Even if Mrs. Zhou called her in for questioning, what would happen?
It just goes in one ear and out the other. Would the old lady dare to hit anyone?
If she did it herself, then she would run. If he ordered someone to do it—today, would anyone in the Duke of Liguo's mansion still dare to do it to her? If there were anyone so clueless and unable to see the reality, they would be courting death.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhou went back dejectedly, and there was complete silence on Old Lady Zhou's side, without any movement at all.
Zhao Liya: “.”
She was a little surprised and didn't react for a moment.
So what bad thing is the old lady planning?
It's impossible to give up, Zhao Liya doesn't believe it!
It's good that no one is causing trouble.
The transformation of the garden was carried out in a vigorous manner. Every day, countless people came in and out, demolishing and digging, turning upside down all the scenery and flowers and trees that the second and third rooms originally liked!
The people in the second and third houses were furious, but they managed to hold it in.
Zhao Liya couldn't help but smile. In her spare time, she said to Zhou Hansheng, "It seems they have come up with some good way to deal with us. They are laying low and gathering their strength!"
When Zhou Hansheng had nothing to do, he just liked to hug his wife at home and accompany her. He kissed her and smiled, "Isn't this perfect? I'm getting a little impatient. They'd better have a big one soon!"
Zhao Liya was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Zhou Rui refused to believe in evil. After she had a fierce battle with Qian at the Marquis of Pengyang's Mansion and suffered a great loss again, she instinctively ran back to her parents' home for help. She called a carriage and cried as she ordered to return to the Duke's Mansion!
No one in her husband's family, from top to bottom, took her seriously. Although she was nominally a co-wife, she could feel that in the eyes of those people, she was not even as good as a concubine.
The only thing that can bring her some psychological comfort now is the Duke Liguo's Mansion.
As long as she thought about the fact that her maiden family was the Duke of Liguo's Mansion, she felt a little more confident!
However, this time, her carriage could not enter the Duke's Mansion.
The concierge didn't even bother to inform her and politely asked her to leave.
Zhou Rui was furious, glaring at the doorman and gritting her teeth. "I'm the second daughter of the Duke's Mansion, and you dare to stop me from returning home! Get out of my way!"
How could the doorman dare to do that? Everyone knew whose job it was that they were relying on.
After the Crown Prince's wife got married, the first wife became more assertive, while the second and third wives had already been suppressed to the point where they couldn't even vent their anger.
"Second Miss, we servants dare not disobey the orders of the Crown Prince. Please don't make things difficult for us, Second Miss."
No matter how angry Zhou Rui roared and how tough her attitude was, the doorman remained unmoved and refused to give in.
When Zhou Rui was about to go crazy with anger, Master Zhou Er happened to come back from outside.
Although he always scolded Zhou Rui for bringing shame to him, he never loved his daughter Zhou Rui very much.
But after all, they are his own flesh and blood, and how could he tolerate being bullied by the eldest wife?
Zhou Rui thought she had a backer, so she cried pitifully and exaggerated her complaints.
Mr. Zhou was furious. He kicked the doorman, cursed him, and insisted on taking his daughter back home.
The gatehouse had already sent someone to report to the Crown Prince's wife. Someone said stubbornly, "Second Miss, the Crown Prince has already given instructions. If you insist on forcing your way in, it means you are not taking him seriously. A married woman must obey her husband. It must be that the Lu family did not teach you well. The Crown Prince will have a serious talk with the Third Young Master of the Lu Family."
Both Mr. Zhou and Zhou Rui's expressions changed.
Zhou Rui is now the daughter-in-law of the Lu family. If the Lu family really wants to discipline her, they have plenty of ways to make her suffer a miserable fate and not be able to find any fault with her.
Master Zhou Er stared at the doorman with resentment: "He has such a cruel heart! Is this how he treats his relatives? Is he treating his enemies like this?"
The doorman dared not say a word. He thought to himself, "Aren't you the ones who first treated me as an enemy?"
I don't dare to challenge the prince and his men, so why make things difficult for a servant like him?
Zhou Rui was also extremely angry. In a fit of rage, she couldn't help but sneer, "At worst, I'll just divorce you! Humph, I just don't believe it. Are you not going to let me into the mansion either?"
Nanny Lian happened to arrive and, upon hearing this, she said, "What does Second Miss think this marriage is? Can it be divorced just by saying so?"
If the Crown Prince and the Duke do not allow it, the Lu family will absolutely not agree to the divorce!
Master Zhou Er was filled with resentment and vented his anger at Nanny Lian: "You are a coward, you are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the masters. What about Zhao? Is she afraid to show herself?"
When his wife was crying and complaining about her grievances and venting her anger, Mr. Zhou Er, although also annoyed with Zhou Hansheng and Zhao Liya, also felt that his wife was really annoying. Why was she crying for no reason? He could not empathize with her.
At this moment, I finally felt the same way, and I felt even more unbearable than Mrs. Zhou Er.
Lian Ma Ma: "The Crown Prince's wife is busy managing the household and also busy with the garden renovation. How could she have the time to discuss such trivial matters? Second Miss, you spread rumors and caused trouble, humiliated the Crown Prince's wife, assaulted her, and sowed discord between her and the Crown Prince. Today, you cannot enter the Duke's Mansion. Do you want to leave on your own, or should I send someone to escort you back to the Pengyang Earl's Mansion?"
If she sent someone to escort her, she wouldn't be too polite. She might even have someone escort Zhou Rui back to the Pengyang Marquis's residence.
There was no need to think too much, both Mr. Zhou and Zhou Rui knew what it meant.
Zhou Rui was filled with tears and resentment: "Are they trying to force me to death? Are they trying to force me to death?"
Nanny Lian was not moved at all. She said coldly, "Second Miss, before you speak, you should think carefully about the cause and effect. As the saying goes, you reap what you sow. Do you think that what you are doing today is unfair?"
Zhou Rui glared at her hatefully.
Isn’t it?
What could she have done wrong? When they were both serving their respective masters, everything she did was perfectly natural! It was just that she lost.
However, Zhou Hansheng and Zhao Liya wanted to kill them all!
Master Zhou Er also stared at Nanny Lian with resentment, but he kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word.
Besides, it's just self-humiliation.
Zhou Hansheng and Zhao were determined not to let their family have an easy life. Since the Duke's Mansion was under their control, they had no choice but to endure it for the time being.
Yes, bear with it for now.
Thinking of his mother's instructions and arrangements, Mr. Zhou Er felt a little relieved.
