Chapter 478: Finally Taking Action
She was stupid and kept making small moves, so she really couldn't bear to hear him off.
Old Mrs. Zhou was complaining madly in her heart.
I'm tired of having bad teammates.
Seeing that the old lady was obviously impatient, Mrs. Zhou Er didn't dare to say anything more and had to retreat in frustration.
Old Mrs. Zhou returned to Heyuan, went into the house, lay down on the couch, ordered people to pour tea and water, and then sent everyone away.
She stared ahead with cold and gloomy eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.
After a while, Mrs. Zhou sneered softly and murmured inaudibly, "How cruel! How cruel! They won't leave any chance for us women to survive. I didn't expect..."
Unexpectedly, they were able to break even this fatal deadlock!
Even thinking about it now, Mrs. Zhou felt depressed and unwilling to believe it.
That little bitch had some experience and knew this would happen. She would have opposed this marriage to the end no matter what. How stupid! It's not easy to start with the couple in the first house, why not start with the Zhao family?
The old lady in the Duke's Mansion expressed her disgust for the daughter of the Zhao family. Doesn't she believe that the Zhao couple can still marry their daughter into the Duke's Mansion?
Unfortunately, it's no use thinking about it now.
Old Mrs. Zhou muttered angrily for a while, then suddenly stood up and fumbled out a small white porcelain bottle from the secret compartment in the bedroom. It was a simple white color, the size of a finger, and was exactly the same as the one that Yan gave to Concubine Mi.
Old Mrs. Zhou gently stroked the small porcelain bottle with her fingers. Such a small thing seemed to weigh a thousand pounds in her hand, as if it represented some kind of tangled and contradictory emotions.
After a while, Old Lady Zhou squeezed the small porcelain bottle tightly, and her cloudy eyes flashed with intense hatred and a sudden light.
Since they escaped in Beiyuan, she would do it herself!
This thing was given to him by someone unknown when the Second Prince and Concubine Yan's rebellion failed.
She only knew that it was sent by Concubine Yan.
Concubine Yan would naturally not give her such a thing for no reason. She tried to feed the thing to the birds. The birds were fine at the time and were still lively and energetic. However, three days later, they died silently.
Others were puzzled, wondering how this seemingly normal, chirping bird could suddenly die. Even Mrs. Zhou herself was puzzled at first, but fortunately, she was not too senile and figured it out after a moment's thought.
She was shocked and surprised!
You know, if it's really as she suspected, this is a deadly weapon, it can be used secretly and is much more useful than what she has on hand. She really needs something like this in this big house!
She didn't dare to fully believe it at the time, so she tried it again secretly and fed the rabbit.
Sure enough, three days later, the rabbit that had originally looked normal also died silently.
At this point, Mrs. Zhou finally felt relieved. This was a good thing!
In the midst of the chaos, Concubine Yan still had time to send someone to quietly deliver such a good thing to her. Of course, she knew that she must have had bad intentions.
I think she hated the Duke Li's Mansion and the Duke for taking the father and son, so no matter whether it succeeded or not, if she handed the things over to herself, she might gain a little.
Even if she didn't, she wouldn't lose anything.
After figuring out Concubine Yan's thoughts, Old Lady Zhou felt more at ease.
It seems she should use this thing.
Isn’t this a ready-made reason right in front of us?
The hundreds of thousands of taels of silver belonging to the second brother and his wife was the opportunity.
This was no small sum, and it made sense that the Second Family wouldn't give up. So, out of concern for the Second Family, it was only natural that I invited that little bitch, Zhao, to intercede and try to negotiate again.
It wasn't that Old Lady Zhou didn't want to kill the Duke and his wife, but since the Duke wasn't involved in the affairs of the mansion, her sudden call for help would inevitably arouse suspicion. The Duke's wife was in poor health and rarely left the house, so if she insisted on calling her over, it would be too obvious.
Zhou Hansheng? Forget about that wicked fellow! He was full of tricks, and she always got a headache just seeing him. She didn't want to see him at all, and she wouldn't even bother to greet him.
If you call him over for no reason or bring him food, he will become even more suspicious.
After thinking it over, I decided to take action against Zhao.
Zhao would come to his place from time to time, and occasionally when he had something to tell her, he would call her over. It didn't matter if he called her more than once.
After we get her, we will find a way to get the old man's. These two are enough.
Old Mrs. Zhou sneered grimly.
Zhou Hansheng returned in the evening and was somewhat surprised to hear what his second aunt had done. "Could it be that they want to split up the family business? Are they afraid we might embezzle their property, so they're moving it out early?"
Zhao Liya smiled and said, "You never know! Our Second Aunt loves money like her life, is extremely hostile to us, and doesn't trust us at all. She really could do something like this!"
Zhou Hansheng also laughed and said, "That's perfect, isn't it? I can't wait for them to propose a split!"
After the two of them talked for a few words, Zhao Liya repeated what her mother-in-law had told her to do.
Zhou Hansheng suddenly remembered something and nodded after a moment of silence: "Mom is right, that old woman is not the type to give in so easily."
Although the two of them didn't know what Old Lady Zhou and her group were planning to do, it was obvious that since they had started transferring property, they must have some plans.
Whether you make one plan or do both, it will definitely not be smooth sailing.
This is easy to understand. They have dared to do such a thing as murder and framing others - although they did not succeed, they both know in their hearts that the two sides have already torn their faces apart. If they do not move, they will take action after this storm is completely over.
Old Mrs. Zhou is not the kind of person who would wait for others to take action.
After briefly discussing the matter, Zhou Hansheng hugged his wife, rubbed her forehead, and chuckled softly, "Let's not talk about them anymore. Do you miss me?"
Zhao Liya looked up and met his smile, which was full of meaning. Her face flushed, and she shoved him aside, muttering, "You're always thinking about this little thing."
After saying that, he turned and walked away.
Zhou Hansheng laughed and followed him like a sticky candy.
I finally get off work and go home, who else should I follow if not my wife?
The next morning, after seeing Zhou Hansheng off, not long after, someone came to invite him back from Old Lady Zhou.
