Chapter 242: Hard Wings

Boss Zhou was carrying someone on his back, with a messy-haired servant following beside him. Zhulan and Zhou Shuren found the servant familiar, and after taking a closer look, they looked at each other.

Zhou Shuren stood up and walked forward, reaching out to help up the person the boss was carrying on his back. He saw the person's face clearly and was in big trouble. It was the male protagonist Yao Zheyu!

Zhou Shuren had a toothache, so it was definitely not a coincidence that the male protagonist came to his house. Look at the anxious look of the servant, he came to visit.

The servant was extremely anxious. He had carried the young master on his back from Zhoujia Village. He had never expected that Mr. Zhou had moved and bought a large house. The journey had delayed him for quite some time. The young master was in a very bad condition. "Master, our young master is in trouble. He has a fever now. Please ask a doctor to see him. I am sorry to bother you these days. I will repay you in the future when the young master gets better."

He didn't dare to go to the county. Fortunately, he thought of Mr. Zhou. Otherwise, he wouldn't know who to look for.

Zhou Shuren's stomach hurt even more. Seeing the miserable look of the male protagonist, he must be in big trouble. It was too late to throw the male protagonist out. As long as the male protagonist entered the door, no matter whether he was in cahoots with the male protagonist or not, he would help cover up the traces. They couldn't afford to offend someone who could kill the male protagonist. Besides, the male protagonist was an indestructible cockroach. He was really afraid of the male protagonist's revenge if he dared to throw him out. He was afraid that the scheming male protagonist would turn evil. After weighing the pros and cons, "Big brother, go to the county to ask Doctor Lu. When Doctor Lu asks who is sick, just say that your father has a fever. Second brother, go outside the door and erase all traces."

The servant said, "I didn't go into the village, I spared the way here."

He was still very careful, as this concerned the young master's life.

Zhou Shuren said, "That's even better."

Zhou Shuren signaled the servant to carry Yao Zheyu on his back. It would be better for the male lead to live alone. He didn't want to see the male lead at the moment. "I will arrange for you to live in the empty yard behind the house. You come with me."

The yard behind the main house is where several children play. A fire is lit in the house every day. If the house is not cold, they can light the fire and the house will quickly become warm.

Zhulan found two new quilts and motioned for Li to carry them with her to the empty courtyard. When they arrived at the empty courtyard, she didn't rush to spread the quilts. Instead, Zhulan asked Li to go to the main courtyard to get a kettle with hot water and asked the servant to wash the male protagonist.

Zhulan went to Changlian's room again and took out the new inner and outer clothes that Changlian had made for the New Year. Changlian had grown a lot taller this year, especially in winter. He grew too fast and became very thin. Although this boy is not as tall as the male protagonist, the inner clothes are made bigger, so they are not too small for the male protagonist to wear. The outer clothes will leave some room on the edges, so Zhulan just needs to let go of the male protagonist and he can wear them.

Zhulan had stomachache again, but she could only bear it. Holding her clothes, she watched the snow falling heavier and heavier. She thought to herself that the male protagonist was really lucky. All the traces disappeared after the snow. It was good for them too. They didn't have to worry about being found.

In the room, the servant had already given Yao Zheyu a simple wash. When he came out to get the clothes, he saw that they were all new and was very grateful, "Thank you for your help, Madam Scholar."

Zhulan said, "You must not have eaten anything. I'll go prepare some food and bring it over. I'll leave your son in your care. If you need anything, come to the main courtyard and find us."

The servant had indeed not eaten for a long time. The last meal was last night's dinner. It was already afternoon, and he had been carrying the young master all the way. He was already very hungry. "Thank you, madam."

Zhulan nodded and went out. Li was waiting in the yard. Li had a lot to say, but when she saw her mother-in-law coming out, she lowered her voice and asked, "Mother, how could the young master of the Marquis's Mansion get into trouble?"

Isn't the son of the Marquis Mansion the son of the Marquis Mansion? Why is he still so wicked?

Zhulan led Li out of the yard, and after making sure the servant could not hear her, she said, "You think the Marquis's Mansion is a nest of wealth and nobility, and there is only one prince, you silly daughter-in-law."

Li's reaction was much faster now. She understood what was meant. She covered her mouth that was about to scream and calmed down for a while. "Mom, our family is still the best. There are not so many twists and turns at all."

Bamboo orchid,

Haha, Li has no shame in what she says. She hasn't even started beating around the bush. The eldest wife is such a honest and straightforward person, and now they are determined not to separate the family. Li always stays by her side, pouring her tea and peeling pine nuts for her. She just wants to curry favor with the eldest wife!

You still dare to say there is no bend or curve? There is no bend or curve? Don’t come near me!

Back in the main courtyard, Zhulan asked Li to heat up the leftover buns and porridge from lunch, and then asked Changyi to send them to the backyard. There were servants serving in the backyard, so they didn't have to worry about it.

Zhulan returned to the room, Zhou Shuren was already sitting and reading. Zhulan was very tired, "I thought I would have no more interactions with the hero in the future, but now he has come to my door like a wolf."

Zhou Shuren put down the book in his hand. He had already cursed in his heart and was very calm. He said rationally: "Although we don't want to have anything to do with the male protagonist, it's good that he saved our lives. We don't ask the male protagonist for anything. We will keep the life-saving grace. If there is a life-saving grace in the future, we will not be passive when facing the male protagonist. No matter how evil and calculating the male protagonist is, he will think about the life-saving grace."

Zhulan thought about it carefully and realized that instead of guarding against contact with the male protagonist, she could not help but take advantage of the current opportunity to turn the passive into active. They had the initiative in their hands. After figuring it out, she felt relieved and said with a smile, "In that case, this is not a problem, but an opportunity that has come to her doorstep."

Zhou Shuren nodded, "Everything has two sides. If you put yourself in someone else's shoes, a bad thing may turn into a good thing."

Zhulan thought that the male protagonist was really miserable. Although he was not injured, he was seriously ill. He did not look like he had just gotten sick. "Why did the male protagonist come here instead of staying in Pingzhou?"

It also gave those who wanted to harm him an opportunity to take advantage of him, and I haven't heard that Wang Ru returned to Zhoujia Village!

Zhou Shuren thought for a while, "Our county is a transportation hub, a must-go place to get back to the capital. Yao Zheyu left Pingzhou with an illness, so he must have an urgent matter to return to the capital. It seems that from what you know, there are other reasons why Yao Zheyu did not participate in the Tongsheng exam next year."

Zhulan counted on her fingers. It was almost the New Year. Although the capital was not particularly far from Pingzhou, it would take a month and a half to go back and forth in winter. Adding the time spent in the capital, Yao Zheyu would not be able to return in time to take the examination for the position of Tongsheng. He insisted on returning to the capital even though he knew he could not return. This showed that he knew he would not be able to take the examination if he stayed.

Why can't he take the Tongsheng exam? The hero rushed back to the capital with illness. Zhulan thought, "The old marquis must be dying soon, so he is anxious to let Yao Zheyu go back. The old marquis died, and the hero, as a grandson, has to observe mourning for twelve months. Naturally, he can't take the Tongsheng exam next year. It's really unclear in a few sentences. In the original text, the hero came to Pingzhou two years later. Wang Ru had some reasons, but on the other hand, she really came for the exam."

Zhou Shuren said: "This explains why someone dared to take action. It was not only to prevent Yao Zheyu from returning to the capital, but also to prevent Yao Zheyu from returning to the capital again."

Zhu Lan blinked her eyes. "This is a chain reaction. If Yao Zheyu hadn't left the capital earlier, he wouldn't have suffered what he suffered today."

At least no one dared to attack in the mansion, and Yao Zheyu would not be in danger of his life in the mansion. To be honest, it was she and Zhou Shuren who fanned the flames. Without them, everything would have gone according to the original text. It was she and Zhou Shuren who were the two major variables that completely deviated. l0ns3v3
