Chapter 48 If the father wants the son to die, the son must die

The emperor also knew that it was cruel to let a five-year-old girl believe that her father wanted to kidnap her.

It was just as cruel as when he was a child and others told him that his mother treated him as a tool to compete for favors and didn't love him at all.

Fortunately, it was false that A'niang didn't love him, but it was true that Zhou Huanjiu's father wanted to harm her.

But the emperor didn't care whether it was cruel or not.

If he wants to win over talented people, he cannot let them resent him.

The emperor must tell Zhou Huanjiu that he demoted her father in order to give her justice.

Otherwise he would be busy collecting evidence.

But it would be bad if Zhou Huanjiu hated him.

After saying this, he realized that he could not take his heartless daughter away, so he led his people back to Xuanshi Hall alone.

Bei Jingchu wanted to continue drinking and playing with Zhou Huan, but she seemed absent-minded.

Bei Jingchu expressed her understanding and said her worldview was impacted.

When you grow up and suddenly find out that your father is bad, you should be confused.

Aunt Hui came to report: "Empress Dowager, Madam Zhou is waiting outside the palace to see you."

After Zhou Huanjiu settled down in Renshou Palace, the empress dowager gave Madam Zhou a token for entering and leaving the palace so that she could visit her daughter at any time.

However, Mrs. Zhou was sensible and had never used it before. This was her first time using it.

The Queen Mother smiled at Aunt Hui and said, "You are definitely not here to pay respect to my old bones."

She waved at Zhou Huanjiu: "Go, your mother must miss you."

Zhou Huanjiu bowed and was taken to a side hall.

[I want to go too, I want to go too. Please don’t ignore me. There is a little baby here! ]

The Queen Mother was speechless at Bei Jingchu's desire to join in the fun everywhere. How could this good princess go around asking about other people's private affairs all day long?

Well, she likes it too.

But people still need to be more restrained, right?

When Bei Jingchu saw that no one was paying attention to her, she kept silent and decided to be angry alone and let the Queen Mother guess.

In the end, no one paid any attention to her.

So he got even angrier, and held his chubby belly with his chubby little hands and got angry.

On the other side, when Mrs. Zhou saw her daughter, she burst into tears.

"Jiu'er, your dead father actually wanted to replace you with a bastard."

After the Queen Mother reminded her, she immediately went to investigate and caught her husband who was about to move.

Afterwards, I found out about the past.

She felt like vomiting when talking about this matter. She never thought that the husband she had always relied on and loved actually had a habit of cutting off sleeves.

To be honest, if the man was replaced by a woman, it would be like he was having an affair outside.

Although it destroyed the image of her husband in her heart, strictly speaking it was nothing.

But that murderous man actually wanted to exchange the girl she had raised with great effort during her ten months of pregnancy for the daughter of a servant.

How could Mrs. Zhou accept this?

Mrs. Zhou was holding her daughter and could not see her expression.

From His Majesty to Mother, the truth that they were unwilling to believe was confirmed time and time again.

Zhou Huanjiu finally believed that her father wanted to kidnap her.

Therefore, His Majesty was actually venting her anger by demoting my father's title.

So, the strange noises heard earlier were helping her.

Madam Zhou asked Zhou Huanjiu: "If Aye and A Niang get divorced, will you follow A Niang?"

Zhou Huanjiu nodded.

Before the palace gates are locked, Madam Zhou must leave.

Logically speaking, the truth has been uncovered, and if she abides by the agreement, she should take her daughter back.

But the situation at home was complicated, and she had not yet divorced the dead man.

Mrs. Zhou really didn't want to take her daughter home, so she didn't mention it.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother did not chase anyone away, so Mrs. Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and left.

When they left the palace and returned home, the Duke Xin's Mansion had already been sealed off, and they were now living in the remaining manor.

Zhou Yu, also known as the former Duke of Xin.

When he heard that Mrs. Zhou had returned, he hurried out to greet her with a big smile on his face, as if he had great affection for his wife.

This has never happened before.

Zhou Yu went to help Mrs. Zhou get off the carriage, but Mrs. Zhou avoided his hand as if she was avoiding something dirty.

Zhou Yu's smile was awkward.

Damn woman, when he makes a comeback, he will definitely divorce her.

After all, Zhou Yu is the emperor's uncle, and it was he who did something wrong and made His Majesty angry.

But once His Majesty has calmed down, can he still let his uncle continue to be a commoner?

How can he save face?

It was because he, Zhou Yu, was in such a low position that a woman stepped on his head.

It turns out that this slut can only share wealth but not adversity.

But these thoughts only flashed through his mind, and he dared not show any of them on his face.

He could only imagine in his mind the scene where, when his title was restored, Madam Zhou would kneel at his feet and beg him not to divorce her.

Just thinking about it made him feel happy.

She was so absorbed in her fantasy that she didn't even come to her senses until Mrs. Zhou was about to enter the house.

The doorman was a servant who came with Mrs. Zhou as a dowry. At Mrs. Zhou's signal, he did not wait for him and closed the door directly.

At the last moment, Zhou Yu pushed open the door which still had a small gap left and rushed in.

"Madam, Madam, how is Jiu'er doing in the palace? Is she still liked by the Queen Mother?"

A girl was standing timidly at the door, looking pitiful.

Mrs. Zhou felt disgusted. Why did she think this man was so good in the past?

"Your daughter is all alone in the palace. You don't worry about whether she has been wronged or whether she is not used to the food and clothing. Instead, you ask me whether she is liked by the Queen Mother?"

After she finished speaking, Mrs. Zhou realized how ridiculous her reaction was: "That's right, you can kidnap her and replace her with a bastard, and I actually expect you to have a little fatherly heart."

"I was confused."

Before Zhou Yu could speak, Madam Zhou continued, "Who allowed you to bring this bastard in front of me and dirty my eyes?"

Zhou Yu was unhappy. This was the daughter of his beloved servant Lao Gong. How could he say she was a bastard?

"Madam, the child is innocent. Please watch your mouth."

Even though Mrs. Zhou already knew his true identity, she was still disgusted by him.

"My mouth is dirty? Were you really asking Jiu'er out of concern?"

"Don't think I don't know what's going on in your dirty head."

"You hope that Jiu'er will please the Queen Mother, and then she will choose a rich family for her, or even better, marry her to a prince, or even better, give her to the Emperor as a concubine when she grows up."

"Then you can continue to be rich by drinking."

"Zhou Yu, you shameless bastard, do you think that because the child is young, she doesn't understand things?"

"I've already told her all the good things you've done. Do you think Jiu'er will still recognize you as her father?"

Zhou Yu didn't expect that Mrs. Zhou would tell Zhou Huanjiu: "You...you you you, aren't you afraid that the child will be sad?"

"Oh, sad? If she gets tricked by you again, I don't know if she can survive. Why should I be afraid that she will be sad?"

Although Zhou Yu's confidence was a little weak, he still said firmly: "So what? My dynasty attaches great importance to filial piety. Even if I, as a father, let her die, it is the father who wants the son to die, and the son has to die."
