Chapter 162 Guess
Wang Ru had no intention of getting out of the car. She held the curtain and carefully looked at the Zhou family. They had changed so much that she felt more and more that her guess was right. "Grandma Zhou, do you know the Monkey King?"
This was the result of her two months of thinking. She felt that her wings were not powerful enough to help Old Man Zhou become a scholar. There must have been someone who had traveled through time like her.
Zhu Lan couldn't hold it in. She had to manage her facial expressions to avoid being read into her mind, which was a compulsory course in modern times. "San Ya, why didn't grandma understand what you said? And you just came back from Pingzhou? You are not a child anymore. Why did you go to Pingzhou alone? Didn't you and Er Ya teach you enough? Even if you don't care about your reputation, you can't cheat your two sisters like this!"
Everyone who knew that she never went out knew that Wang Laosi's family had a bad reputation because of Wang Ru's reputation. The first two girls had a bad reputation. Later, the Zhou family came. Although only Erya and Wang Ru were involved, Daya was also affected. This time, Wang Ru was gone for more than two months. No one went with her, and she was not engaged. She followed a man outside without a matchmaker or marriage. Now, Daya and Erya dared not go out, and they had a bad reputation in the surrounding area.
She also heard from Li that the scoundrels in the village went to hang around Wang Laosi's house, waiting to take advantage of him!
Wang Ru's face darkened, because she finally realized how important reputation was in ancient times. This time when she went to Pingzhou, she lived in the Shi family. Although she lived in Shi Qing's courtyard, she was often troubled by others, and everyone used her reputation to step on her. Even though she didn't want to have anything to do with Shi Qing, she knew from all the sarcastic remarks that her reputation was gone. Fortunately, she was still young.
Wang Ru suppressed her anger and stared into Yang's eyes. She was also someone who had experienced family fights, and she thought that she was not as scheming as Yang. She only saw contempt and disdain in Yang's eyes. The anger that she had suppressed rose again. In her heart, she cursed Yang for taking reputation so seriously, saying that she must be an ancient person. It seemed that she was overthinking it. Her arrival was indeed a variable.
However, she was indeed frightened by the fact that Old Man Zhou passed the examination. The only way to comfort herself was that she knew from Shi Qing that the provincial examination was not easy to pass, and not everyone could pass it. Old Man Zhou was already quite old, and his physical condition was not good. If he took the exam for another ten or twenty years, his body would not be able to bear it. Thinking of this, she felt much more at ease looking at Old Man Zhou. She snorted and said to the driver, "Let's go."
Zhulan and Zhou Shuren watched the carriage go away, then they turned around and continued walking. When they reached the river and saw no one in sight, Zhulan said, "Wang Ru has her own ideas and only guesses from me!"
She was not afraid of Wang Ru guessing about her. If the Zhou family had changed so much and Wang Ru didn't guess it was her, Wang Ru was really hopelessly stupid, but she was not that smart either.
Zhou Shuren held Zhulan's hand. Finally, there was no one around, and it was just the two of them. This was a rare opportunity. "Wang Ru will still speculate on our family in the future, but it won't be limited to you. The girl will become the focus of speculation."
Zhu Lan chuckled, "Fortunately, we have never taught the Zhou family's children anything beyond ancient ideas. Even we live according to ancient rules. Wang Ru's guess is useless. In the end, she will definitely think that she is too arrogant!"
Zhou Shuren sneered, "She is quite powerful, and has done great harm to the other two girls in the Wang family."
Zhulan is not a person with excessive sympathy. She does not sympathize with Wang Erya and Wang Rong, but she sympathizes with Wang Daya and Wang Xin. The honest girls will have a hard time in the future, and if they marry the wrong people, they will suffer for the rest of their lives. But then again, if Wang Ru had not come, the girls in the Wang family would not have married well, and Wang Zhang was not a good person either!
It is a rare opportunity for Zhulan and her husband to have their own world without anyone disturbing them, and they don't want to talk about Wang Ru anymore. Their relationship with Wang Ru is limited to this year, and they have basically had no contact after moving to Pingzhou. Zhou Shuren's actions have completely widened the gap between them, unless Wang Ru can get involved with the male protagonist as soon as possible. Unfortunately, Wang Ru's reputation is gone, and she is taken away by Shi Qing. The original plot has completely deviated. In the original plot, Wang Ru was just doing business, but she never followed Shi Qing. Now that the plot has deviated, it is hard to say what will happen in the future.
At Wang Laosi's house, Wang Ru brought back a lot of gifts. In the main hall, Wang Laosi looked at the boxes of gifts, which contained cloth, snacks, and wine. Sun's eyes fell on Wang Ru's head, then changed her jewelry, and finally fell on the boxes in Wang Ru's hands.
Sun held her son in her arms and asked, "My dear, is that the gold lock in your hand for your brother?"
