Chapter 4: Is your husband's family extinct?
"My cousin's wife must be very angry that my cousin is not in the bridal chamber, right?" She looked at Zhou Yan with innocent eyes full of apology.
Zhou Yan was heartbroken and said hurriedly:
"Be angry if you want to. Jiaojiao, you're so understanding. You even gave birth to a child in this manor without any complaints."
Then he looked at Li Ziyan and said, "Mother, let's take my cousin back to the Marquis' Mansion."
Li Ziyan hesitated for a moment: "Jiaojiao is my sister's only daughter. Living in the manor for a long time is indeed hardship for her. I can't let my grandsons live outside."
"But if Su Luo finds out..." Zhou Zhizhang frowned.
"I discovered it!" Zhou Yan snorted coldly, "I am responsible for my own actions. I am not only Jiaojiao's man, but also the father of our two children. How can I not even have this little bit of responsibility?"
"You're so stupid! You just got married three days ago and already have a pair of children. Where can I put my old face? Do you still want to maintain the dignity of the Marquisate?"
Zhou Zhizhang scolded, "Where are your courtesy, virtue, and righteousness? Those rumors alone can crush you to death."
But looking at the chubby grandson who was giggling at him, Zhou Zhizhang hesitated: "Forget it, you can take him back, but don't let Su Luo know."
"And after you go back, even if you have to pretend, you have to pretend to be nice to Su Luo."
"after all……"
"Some things still depend on her."
…
Day 4.
Su Luo was watering the flowers in the room, while silently calculating in her mind how much property was left in the general's mansion.
In her previous life, she was deceived by Zhou Yan's family. Before getting married, she gave Zhou Yan a lot of valuable things, including the blacksmith shop in the south of the city and the most prosperous shop in the center of the imperial city.
As a result, Zhou Yan turned around and gave it to his mistress Li Jiaojiao in the name of "selling".
Take it out of her pocket and give it to her illegitimate son.
Her mother-in-law loves playing mahjong, her father-in-law loves drinking fine wine, and her sister-in-law loves rouge and jewelry.
The Jing'an Marquis Mansion is a rising star. Before this, it had little money. In order to save face, it spent money lavishly, and naturally its substance was depleted.
There were footsteps outside the yard.
Yun Ran whispered, "Madame Ruiqing is here."
The next moment, Madam Ruiqing came over with a smile on her face and bowed to Su Luo, saying:
"It just so happens that my cousin is here today, and Madam would like you to come over."
Su Luo paused while holding the pot to water the flowers, pretending not to know:
"Cousin? Why haven't I heard of it before?"
"The lady's elder sister married far away in the border area and died of illness three years ago, leaving behind this orphan girl. She planned to come to the capital to seek refuge with our Marquis' Mansion."
Su Luo said "oh" and asked curiously, "Doesn't she have her own family? How can she go to seek refuge with someone?"
"Hmm... this..." said Nanny Ruiqing, "Maybe there have been some changes in the family's fortunes."
When Su Luo walked into the main hall.
Then I saw a slender woman in white clothes as white as snow, wearing a thick cloak and a soft hat on her head.
A soft lying rabbit, holding a pink and white baby in its arms.
The woman's eyes moved, looking at Su Luo subtly.
She originally thought that Su Luo was just a boring and empty daughter of an official family. Even if she was beautiful, she was just the same old vulgar type.
But today Su Luo was wearing a light blue long dress with waist-length sleeves and white jade tassels tied around her waist.
Her eyebrows are as dark as black, her nose is delicate and her lips are cherry-like. Her appearance is elegant and beautiful, like a fairy from this world.
A strange feeling flashed through Li Jiaojiao's mind.
It turns out that my cousin’s new bride is so beautiful.
If she doesn't use some tricks, how can she keep her cousin in the future?
Oh, although she is beautiful, my cousin has already said that he will give this woman a bowl of infertility soup.
If you can't have a child, what can you use to compete with her?
Thinking of this, Li Jiaojiao felt a lot more relieved, and there was a hint of subtle provocation and sympathy in her eyes when she looked at Su Luo.
She held the child in her arms, lowered her eyes obediently, hiding all thoughts in her eyes, and called out, "Cousin-in-law."
Zhou Yan, who was playing with a rattle to entertain the child, was so happy that he didn't notice Su Luo coming. He smiled and said:
"As expected, he's my biological child. His eyebrows, eyes, nose, and lips really look like me..."
"Cough cough!" Zhou Zhizhang coughed heavily.
Zhou Yan, who was holding the baby boy, saw Su Luo and said hurriedly, "As expected, he is my cousin's biological child. His eyebrows and eyes really look like my cousin."
Su Luo sneered in her heart.
Zhou Yan handed the child to the wet nurse and then straightened his clothes. Su Luo was very beautiful today, and he was a little dazzled.
Haha, this woman always tries to attract his attention.
But don’t be too conceited!
His heart has long been given to Jiaojiao, and there is no way he would even look at Su Luo twice!
Zhou Yan looked away calmly and distantly. "On our wedding night, there was an emergency in the army, so I had to leave. I'm sure you're generous and won't mind."
Of course Su Luo doesn't mind!
Her one night of love with the Regent was quite pleasant.
Without waiting for Su Luo to speak, Zhou Yan looked at Li Jiaojiao tenderly: "This is my cousin Jiaojiao. She will be living in the Marquis' Mansion from now on. I hope you will take care of her like your own sister."
"besides……"
"You must also treat my cousin's children as your own and raise them with all your heart. After all, they are my... nephews."
Su Luo laughed in her heart...
In her previous life, she was too naive and unwilling to think the worst of others.
That's why I'm being manipulated by this family.
What a great nephew.
This scumbag, bitch, and blood-sucking in-laws were all driven out together.
It just so happens that she wants to bring them to ruin.
She turned the cup around, looked at Li Jiaojiao, and said worriedly, wanting to say something but hesitantly:
"Cousin, is she still in confinement?"
Li Jiaojiao was stunned and choked for a moment.
"...Yeah." She nodded reluctantly.
"I heard from the nanny that you are from the border town. How come you came to the capital before you even finished your confinement? Are your husband's family also from the capital? If your husband's family is from the capital, why didn't they come to visit the Marquis' Mansion before? I didn't see you at the banquet on my wedding day either."
Li Jiaojiao was stunned again!
How should she answer this?
She looked at Zhou Yan again with difficulty speaking.
Zhou Yan's words were stuck in his throat, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment. He looked at Zhou Zhizhang and Li Ziyan.
Zhou Zhizhang didn't know how to answer.
Fortunately, Li Ziyan took over the conversation and said hesitantly: "Her husband's family..."
Su Luo suddenly realized: "It seems that my husband's family is really a piece of shit!"
The four of them looked at her!
Su Luo said, "Your husband's family must be worthless. That's why you came to the Marquis' Mansion while pregnant and still in confinement."
Zhou Zhizhang and Li Ziyan looked unhappy.
Li Jiaojiao looked very embarrassed and at a loss. She started to defend herself:
"My husband's family treats me very well, and my husband dotes on me..." At this point, she glanced at Zhou Yan with a hint of hidden affection in her eyes, "My husband is the best man in the world..."
Zhou Yan enjoyed such praise.
"If it's as good as my cousin said, then why did my cousin come to the Marquis' Mansion with her two children?"
Su Luo was indignant on behalf of Li Jiaojiao. "Cousin, there's no need to cover up for your husband's family. As a woman myself, I understand. Your husband's family must be such beasts that they're so angry that you came to the Marquis' Mansion before you even finished your confinement."
One word is a beast.
Every word he says is nothing.
Li Ziyan's expression changed slightly.
Zhou Zhizhang was also very unhappy.
Zhou Yan was so restless that he couldn't sit still. He had several attacks but he couldn't refute.
After all, they can't say anything.
Otherwise, why would he rush to say that he is the in-law?
really.
If a woman goes to live with her relatives right after giving birth, there are only two possibilities.
Either the husband's family is extinct or they are worthless.
so……
Su Luo asked again: "Could it be that all your in-laws have died out?"
