Chapter 49: Mrs. Zhou Returns to Her Parents' Home

Mrs. Zhou pushed him away. Zhou Yu had never exercised, so he was pushed down by Mrs. Zhou and fell to the ground, hitting his butt hard.

Zhou Huanzhi went over and wanted to boost Zhou's reputation.

Zhou Huanzhi was the name Zhou Yu gave her, the same name as his daughter.

It was as if this little girl was the daughter born to him and his beloved servant Lao Gong.

"Aye, Zhizhi is here to help you."

Zhou Yu climbed up politely and praised her: "Zhizhi is still good. She and Aye showed their true friendship in times of trouble, unlike that heartless woman."

He glanced at Mrs. Zhou meaningfully.

Mrs. Zhou watched the two perform with cold eyes.

Do you think she is really innocent?

Mrs. Zhou didn't believe it, because the plan of this despicable man was to wait for some time after her daughter went missing, then find the child and say it was Jiuer.

If she doesn't take the initiative to cooperate, it will be impossible to do it.

Even if these are things that have not happened yet, even if she is really innocent.

But these two people are shit to Mrs. Zhou.

There is no way she would not mind the stench of shit just because it is innocent.

Mrs. Zhou knew that Zhou Yu was using this as an excuse to mock her, so she didn't play dumb: "That's right, a person like you, do you still expect others to share your hardships?"

"Let's get divorced."

Zhou Yu was shocked.

His sister was the empress dowager and his nephew was the emperor.

He is tall and handsome, has a good appearance, and is elegant and graceful.

His ex always liked to pinch his waist and press him against the wall, calling him a beauty.

How could any woman want to leave him?

Fortunately, Zhou Yu only thought about these words in his heart.

Otherwise, Mrs. Zhou would vomit out the leftover food.

"Impossible. Absolutely impossible."

"Woman, don't try to attract my attention in this way. The only person in my heart is that man."

Mrs. Zhou: ...

Tsk!

In the end, the divorce was not finalized and Zhou Yu refused to sign.

Because he thought that the most promising person in their family now was Zhou Huanjiu, who was kept in Renshou Palace and could become a royal relative with a little effort.

He would be a fool to let Madam Zhou go.

Mrs. Zhou was so angry that she gritted her teeth and ordered people to pack up and return to her parents' home.

But when she knocked on her parents' door, she was greeted with a cold shoulder.

Her brother and sister-in-law did not seem to welcome her back.

"Sister, is it true that my brother-in-law will never get the title again after being demoted this time?"

Mrs. Zhou looked at her brother's expectant expression and ruthlessly shattered his expectations.

"How many people in the world have you seen who were stripped of their titles and then reinstated?"

Her brother immediately performed a face-changing trick for her, "So, sister, you came back this time just to eat and drink for free?"

"Are you coming back alone? Just having you as a mouth to feed already adds a lot of trouble, so don't bring any more burdens with you."

For the first time, Mrs. Zhou realized that she was going back to the home where she grew up to eat and drink for free.

It turns out that women have no home after they grow up.

After entering, my sister-in-law was polite, but her words were full of urgency: "How long will you stay here, sister?"

Before she could say anything, her sister-in-law told her to stay for a while.

It was in vain that she had used the power of the Duke of Xin's Mansion to help them solve their problems, but now she has lost power.

At that time, the couple said very nicely, "Sister, if you have any instructions, just come to us."

"If you tell us to go east, we will never go west."

Now, the family she helped shows no sign of thanking her.

At this time, my sister-in-law asked casually, "Sister, why didn't you bring the wine?"

In fact, it was not just a casual remark. Li's sister-in-law wanted to know whether Mrs. Zhou would bring someone with her this time.

She thought the same as her husband: one more mouth to feed means one more expense.

Maybe when the time comes, they will come one by one, and my sister-in-law and her husband will also live in their house.

The whole family just took advantage of them.

Maybe when Zhou Huanjiu gets married, she will ask their family for her wedding dowry.

She thought of all the worst possible outcomes at once.

She doesn't want to be sucked dry by her poor relatives.

But Mrs. Zhou said, "Jiu'er is serving the Queen Mother in the palace."

In reality, it was the Queen Mother who took care of the child. What could a five-year-old child do to serve?

The Queen Mother has no shortage of palace maids.

But it must be said this way, out of respect for the Queen Mother.

And Li's sister-in-law could also understand.

So she was shocked at once.

"Serving the Queen Mother in the palace?"

"Yes." Mrs. Zhou nodded.

Then she saw her sister-in-law's attitude change 180 degrees.

"Sis finally came back to her parents' home, so it would be better for her to stay a few more days."

"You don't know, my husband misses you so much that he can't sleep all day because he misses his childhood with his sister."

Mrs. Zhou: ??? Really? I am not well educated, so don’t lie to me.

Moreover, she suddenly changed the direction in which she was leading the way. "Look at my memory. How could my sister live in such a remote place?"

"Just go to your former concubine's room. I'll have my concubine tidy up and move to another courtyard to make room for you."

Mrs. Zhou: “No need.”

My sister-in-law smiled and said, "Yes, yes, that yard is a little small. I will arrange the largest yard for you."

Mrs. Zhou: ...I am so frightened by your sudden enthusiasm.

The yard next to the main courtyard is the second largest in the house, and the servants are cleaning it urgently.

Li's sister-in-law was rejoicing that luckily Mrs. Zhou's visit was sudden and her explanation could make the matter go away.

Otherwise, it would be too fake to find that the prepared yard was covered with dust when we arrived.

Li Shanglian, Mrs. Zhou's younger brother, came over.

"Isn't this for our son to marry...?"

Mrs. Li pulled him aside and put her index finger to her lips.

“Tsk——”

Li Shanglian didn't understand, but lowered his voice: "Didn't you just arrange a place for her, give her some cold food, and let her leave after a few days?"

"This way we've taken her in, and no one will say we're ungrateful."

"You're such a spendthrift woman, you actually let her live in the yard we prepared for our son's wedding."

"What? Are you really grateful?"

Madam Li smiled mysteriously: "Do you believe it or not, as long as I tell you the reason, you will also worship her?"

Li Shanglian thought about it, but couldn't come up with a reason: "Duke Xin was demoted by His Majesty himself and can't get up. What value can she still have? I don't believe it."

Then he heard Madam Li say: "What if Zhou Huanjiu moved into Renshou Palace and was raised by the Empress Dowager?"

Li Shanglian suddenly shouted towards the courtyard: "How can you be so ignorant? You made my sister stand there and watch you clean, and you didn't even bring a chair to serve tea to me!"

Mrs. Li: ...It’s the first time I’ve seen a living lackey.
