Zhou Shiying was heartbroken and disappointed in Zhou Cheng.
He was disappointed that he had humbled himself like dust for Lin Jiaoyun.
Disappointed that he had squandered the Zhou family's savings in his attempt to please the daughter of a mere fourth-rank official, leaving him looking neither human nor ghost, and the entire capital mocked him as a groveling lackey.
And what about Lin Jiaoyun?
Lin Jiaoyun repeatedly stringed him along and toyed with him. After he was flattered, she treated him as a backup option. When accepting gifts, she was full of ugly vanity, but after accepting the gifts, she never mentioned marriage at all.
Even so, Zhou Cheng was still unwilling to give up on Lin Jiaoyun.
How could Zhou Shiying possibly tolerate such a temper?
Enraged, she stormed into the Lin family home and slapped Lin Jiaoyun. After the incident escalated, she was surprised to find that Zhou Cheng wasn't protecting his own sister.
Instead, she went to comfort Lin Jiaoyun, who was crying and complaining... At that moment, Zhou Shiying's heart broke.
Zhou Shiying was heartbroken, which is why she left home and said that as long as Zhou Cheng liked Lin Jiaoyun, she would never return to the Zhou family!
Despite her anger, Zhou Shiying loved her younger brother dearly. How could she stand idly by and watch the Zhou family fall, watch Zhou Cheng be executed by His Majesty?
That's absolutely impossible!
"Husband."
“I know that we have a private army in our mansion, at least several thousand.”
"I want to go to the capital."
"If Father is powerless to save us, Fourth Brother... I will definitely protect Fourth Brother."
"The Zhou family only has one son. His father is trapped in Jiangling City and can barely take care of himself. His third sister is studying far away and can't help. As long as others don't kick him when he's down, that's already a favor."
"At this point, only I can help my fourth brother. As for the verbal disputes from two years ago, I no longer care. The most important thing now is to rescue my fourth brother from the capital."
“My lord…” Zhou Shiying’s eyes were firm and solemn as she stared at the Marquis of Pingyang.
She has a bright and straightforward personality and rarely shows any need to ask for favors.
Marquis Pingyang looked at the face he had long since grown tired of, but felt no emotion whatsoever.
Zhou Shiying, oh Zhou Shiying!
You still want to save that beast Zhou Cheng!
Even if it implicates the Marquis's mansion, you're willing to do it, right?
Over the years, I married you, you wretched woman, thinking you would be of some help to me, but I never expected to get nothing in return. In the end, you even want me to send someone to the capital to bail you out.
Fortunately, he had planned ahead and secretly sent people to Jiangling City to find something to use against Zhou Zhenguang.
As for Zhou Cheng...
Oh!
The latest news from the capital is that Zhou Cheng not only escaped the city, but also left Lituo County. He is now probably reuniting with Zhou Zhenguang, carrying deadly weapons!
It's a pity... Marquis Pingyang won't tell Zhou Shiying this news, because he already had a plan. He was going to put righteousness above family ties: "Alright, alright, Madam, I'll do whatever you say."
"I will give the order right now to gather the troops and go to the capital to rescue Zhou Cheng."
"You're pregnant, so stay put..."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Shiying immediately interrupted, "No! I must go in person. Only when I see that my fourth brother is safe and sound can I feel at ease."
"Alright, then let's go. I love you so much, I'd give anything for you. No matter what happens, your husband will stand behind you. Don't be afraid, my wife, I will definitely help you rescue Zhou Cheng from the capital!"
Marquis Pingyang kissed Zhou Shiying's little face.
Then, she gave a wink to her maid and, under Zhou Shiying's anxious and urging gaze, immediately left the mansion.
