The two went to Yun Chang's study. Yun Chang cut to the chase, "I heard everything you said just now. What are you going to do about it?"
"When the authorities came to inquire, they said I didn't kill anyone. We just had a conflict before. It was obvious that they had a dispute over the spoils and the other party had something on them, so Zhou Shu went back and took his anger out on his family!" Zhou Quan said coldly.
"What about Zhou Chun? Do you think it was really an accident that he fell into the latrine? Why didn't he go to someone else's latrine instead of his own?" This was also something Yun Chang couldn't understand.
Zhou Quan shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
However, he felt he might have guessed the truth about this matter.
It was the Luo family, who had killed Zhou Chunniang before, who came back to collect interest from them.
No one can take someone's money, fail to get things done, and still live a carefree life. His and Xiaomai's previous guesses have come true.
However, that person's methods seemed quite skillful; they used spiritual power to control them and make them do the work themselves. It's estimated that Zhou Shu won't live more than three days.
After all, when he let Los and the others leave that day, he had already told them to go back and get rid of the man in black who had caused trouble in the village.
This is the price they have to pay for harming the people here.
Once that person dies, Zhou Shu's life, which was controlled by spiritual power, will also be gone.
But he couldn't say these things to Yun Chang, otherwise it would bring up the fact that he had already awakened, and it would worry Xiao Mai.
Yun Chang has almost no secrets from her younger sister, Xiao Mai; she tells her everything!
Thinking of this, Zhou Quan added casually, "Brother, remember not to tell Xiaomai about this, so she won't worry."
"Don't worry, I know exactly what I can and cannot say in front of Xiaomai."
Yun Chang rolled her eyes at him. Did he think he was someone else? He told his wife everything. What a grown man, with no secrets from his wife.
A while ago, he went to the camp with me, and he was stared at by a few soldiers. He even told Xiaomai about it when he got back. Tsk!
Zhou Quan glanced at him silently, then turned her head away.
Oh!
Did he think he was still the same as before, with the same abilities? Now, he knows exactly what the other person is thinking.
But I don't tell him, I don't let him know.
"Never mind, I'd better go to the government office, lest the officials come and frighten my family." After saying that, Zhou Quan took his leave, went back to tell Li Mai that he was going out, and then left.
After leaving the government office, Zhou Quan went to Beishan and summoned Luo Si to inquire about the matter. Luo Si reported to him that it was indeed that person who did it. That person's name was Luo Wo, and he had already been dealt with.
The incident occurred the day before they recognized Zhou Quan as their ancestor, and it was too late to undo it.
Zhou Quan warned them again to live a quiet and law-abiding life and not to provoke anyone in this world again.
Li Mai has spent most of her time sleeping and breastfeeding her baby these past few days. She doesn't want to inquire about or care about anything outside; she wants to rest first.
After giving birth to two children, Li Mai truly felt like her body had been hollowed out; the emptiness and exhaustion were unprecedented.
She suddenly understood how tormenting the sense of apprehension and desolation that Zhou Quan had felt in the past must have been.
Fortunately, I feel much better after falling asleep.
Gu Zhe arrived on the evening of the third-day celebration. At that time, only Zhou Quan was in the room with Li Mai.
He presented his two children with longevity locks made of pure gold as a third-day celebration gift.
Before leaving, he left two bottles of spiritual liquid for Li Mai, telling her to drink more so she could recover faster.
Li Mai thanked him and received the item in her space. She had already finished a bottle in three days, but her body hadn't recovered yet. It's conceivable that the damage to the body after childbirth is much greater than the damage from an injury.
When Li Mai asked him about the difference between the pain in his bones and the sensation in his flesh, Gu Zhe paused for a moment before nodding and saying that it was true, because at that time, they only felt that a certain data had been tampered with when the child was formed and about to be born.
However, considering that the skin has a low pain threshold, so the child won't feel too much pain if he gets hurt in the future, it doesn't seem to have much of an impact, so I didn't dwell on it anymore. I just modified the data in the database and plan to change it back next time I have another child.
Unexpectedly, before the Li family could create a second person, their research base was destroyed by Luo Ying's strange fire.
Therefore, Gu Zhe's feelings were quite complicated every time he faced Zhou Quan.
Now, all Gu Zhe can say is that it was all a tragic fate, all preordained.
They plotted to use Luo Ying, but Luo Ying extinguished their hopes.
But he also married the precious daughter created by the Li family, and treated her like a treasured gem.
Zhou Quan sensed that Gu Zhe had been silent for a while, and when he looked at him, he gave him a cold and indifferent look, as if he was being left to guess.
In front of Li Mai, he naturally dared not unleash the aura and pressure belonging to Luo Ying, as doing so would be tantamount to courting his own destruction.
But he knew very well what Gu Zhe was thinking.
“Xiaomai, we have three children now, that’s enough. We won’t have any more.” Zhou Quan sat down next to Limai and gently comforted her.
The usually strong-willed Xiaomai shouted all afternoon and evening that day. He knew something was wrong. Thinking it was due to the negligence of the Luo family, Zhou Quan gave Gu Zhe a cold look.
Gu Zhe ignored him and went to check on the two children.
He is now a grandfather.
"How's the situation on your end?" Li Mai asked Gu Zhe.
Li Mai was mentally prepared for the fact that she was a defective product in the experiment when she felt that her pain was not right, so she was not sad at this moment.
At least they made her a human being, and she has all the feelings and emotions of a human being, so she should still thank them.
"The old emperor has passed away, he died of anger. The third prince is shrewd and has ascended the throne. The other two have been crippled and are now completely imprisoned. Now is the new emperor's chance to prove himself. I estimate that he will soon send envoys to your Song Kingdom. At this time, he is most afraid of war." Gu Zhe shook his head.
"Will you come?" Li Mai asked.
“If you come, I’ll have to be careful not to run into you in the capital, lest I implicate my elder brother.” Li Mai felt that no matter which emperor it was, if he knew that a courtier he valued had dealings with or was related to a prince of another country, it would be a thorn in his side.
"King Yun?" Gu Zhe asked.
He still remembered the time Zhou Quan abused Yun Chang.
Li Mai nodded.
"Don't worry, even if I run into you in the capital, I won't speak to you. Besides, if I come here, I will wear a mask so that the people who saw me the other day won't recognize me."
Gu Zhe waved his hand, guessing that the new emperor must have sent him this time, as there were very few people in the royal family who could be trusted.
With his own sons stationed in military camps on the border, sending him as an envoy to the Song state was the most suitable option.
