Chapter 280 Li won't cry

No one was talking outside, and it wasn't the waiter. Zhulan stood up with a frown. Zhou Shuren pulled Zhulan, and no one knew who was outside.

Zhulan shook her head. There was no danger now, but to be safe, Zhulan walked carefully to the door.

After Zhou Shuren pulled Zhulan over, he didn't give her any chance and blocked her from opening the door. Zhou Shuren's face turned very dark, it turned out to be Zhang Sanni and Wang Xin.

Zhulan was touched that Zhou Shuren was protecting her, but she was also unhappy that Zhou Shuren rushed to the front by himself. When she saw Zhang Sanni and the others, Zhulan's face turned very bad, "Why didn't you say anything?"

Zhang Sanni didn't dare to make a sound, for fear that no one would come out if she made a sound. Just now she just had a vague feeling that it was Mr. Zhou and his wife. She knocked on the door and someone answered before she confirmed that it was indeed the voice of Mr. Zhou's wife. Now there was only joy in her heart, and she was not afraid of Mr. Zhou's displeasure at all.

Zhang Sanni knelt at the door neatly, "Mrs. Scholar, for the sake of my brother, please take us two weak women with you!"

She thought that Wang Ru was missing, and that she and Wang Xin were either dead or sold. Unexpectedly, after the young master's personal servant went through Wang Ru's things, he returned her and Wang Xin's indentures to them, gave them five taels of silver each, and let them leave.

But they were two weak women who couldn't even lift a hand, and she was pretty. Once they left the post station, they would be in the wilderness. Who knew who they would run into? Especially since they were still carrying the indentures, which had to be cancelled at the government office. Now even if they carried them, they were still slaves who had been abducted. They would still be slaves who had signed a death contract. This was not what she wanted. She had had enough of being a slave and wanted to find a stable man to live with.

Wang Xin also suddenly came back to his senses. He not only knelt down, but also kowtowed. "Auntie, you watched me grow up. Although I have done wrong things, I have received retribution now. Please take me away."

Zhulan had calmed down. After listening to what the two said, she felt that Zhang Sanni still had some conscience, but Wang Xin did not. At least Zhang Sanni mentioned taking Wang Xin with her, but Wang Xin only mentioned himself and was still very selfish.

The two men were kneeling at the door, talking loudly. Well, the people who had just been watching the excitement opened the door and looked in again.

Zhou Shuren had a calm expression. He was not afraid of being seen as noisy. The people in the convoy did not know each other. The only person he knew was Shi Qing's personal servant.

The servant was stunned for a moment, as he didn't expect that Mr. Zhou and his wife were also in the convoy. Then he calmed down and thought that it didn't matter whether they were there or not.

Zhulan, however, did not like being watched in the hustle and bustle. She did not want to bring anyone with her. She had heard the story of the farmer and the snake since she was a child. Zhulan said to Zhang Sanni, "You left early, so you didn't know it yet. Your father told us the truth. Rongchuan is not a member of the Zhang family. From now on, your Zhang family and Rongchuan have nothing to do with each other."

Zhang Sanni was dumbfounded. Without the relationship, the Zhou family would not take her with them. "Mrs. Xiucai, please help me for the sake of our village."

She heard clearly what Wang Xin said just now. Wang Xin actually didn't want to take her with him. Well, don't blame her for not taking Wang Xin with him.

Zhulan stood up straight. "You have already sold yourself into slavery. I don't care why you can leave, but we won't take you with us. If you have money, tell the escort. The escort will be happy to take you to the next town."

She and Zhou Shuren were not soft-hearted people, especially towards the two girls with bad behavior, they did not have the slightest sympathy at all.

After saying that, Zhulan closed the door and said, "Kneel down if you want!"

Zhang Sanni watched the door close, bit her lip and stood up quickly. She didn't want to continue kneeling. Now that she had a way to leave, it would be better to do it as soon as possible. However, it would cost a lot of money. She wanted to go back to Wang Ru's room to see if she could find the lost jewelry. All this was silver.

Wang Xin was stunned when she saw Zhang Sanni leave. She continued kneeling for a while unwillingly. She thought someone would help her speak up, but they all closed the door and went back without even looking at her.

Wang Xin could only stand up unwillingly. Now she could only follow Zhang Sanni.

Zhulan listened to the footsteps of the departing people and sneered. She really thought that someone would help her speak up. Forget it. Zhang Sanni and Wang Xin were slaves. The ancient times were sometimes the most cold-blooded, especially towards the slave class. Even a compassionate person would not intercede for a slave, not to mention that the convoy had just experienced something. Based on the principle of lessening one's trouble, they would definitely not meddle in other people's business if they saw the excitement.

Neither Zhulan nor Zhou Shuren got a good rest last night. They lay down for a while and then went downstairs to have breakfast. They didn't go out for a walk and went back to their room to catch up on their sleep.

They slept until the afternoon. Even if they took a nap, they were both not young anymore and had not had a good rest in the past few days. They ate a quick meal, chatted for a while, and then went back to sleep.

This time I could sleep peacefully. I slept until dawn and made up for the sleep I had missed. I got into the carriage and continued on my journey in good spirits.

The speed of the convoy increased. The escort company wanted to escort the people to the capital as soon as possible, so they tried to travel as much as possible every day. In the past, there were people who complained when they got up early to travel, but after the accident, all the complaints stopped and they couldn't wait to reach the capital as soon as possible.

It was supposed to take three days to reach Haicheng, but they arrived in two days. Zhulan watched Zhang Sanni and Wang Xin leave the team and rest in Zhoucheng for a night while the convoy continued on its journey.

This is the last provincial capital we passed by on the way to the capital. Zhulan breathed a sigh of relief. The journey in the past two days was so bumpy that she felt like she was falling apart.

In the evening, Zhulan said with emotion: "In the future, I won't have to go out easily. If I have to go out, I will wait for the servants to guard the house. This trip was very tiring for me. Only after experiencing it myself can I deeply understand how difficult it is for you to travel so far. Thank you for your hard work."

Zhou Shuren was not feeling well either. "Then I'm going to Beijing to take the exam. Will you come?"

Zhulan, "........Come."

She was worried about Zhou Shuren going to Beijing alone, so she decided to follow him.

Zhou Shuren also felt sorry for Zhulan's suffering, "After the provincial examination, we will leave early, so we won't be in a hurry and will be more comfortable."

Zhulan turned sideways and said, "I'm telling you, I miss my daughters-in-law, especially Li, so next time I go out, I decided to take my eldest son and his wife with me."

Zhou Shuren was silent for a while, "I also think it's a good idea to bring them along."

It was the first time he felt that the Zhou family's sons were not always nice. As parents, he and Zhulan knew there was nothing wrong with their sons and daughters-in-law serving them.

Zhu Lan asked excitedly, "Do you think the Zhou family's sons and daughters-in-law will miss us?"

Zhou Shuren answered quickly, "I will definitely think about it."

Zhulan nodded, "I think so too."

Especially Li, without the help of her biased mother-in-law, she must have been bullied terribly. She might even cry when she thought about her!

In Pingzhou City, each family returned to their own rooms. Li was absent-mindedly counting the copper coins. "Boss, do you think my parents have arrived in the capital?"

When her mother is not at home, she doesn't even want to count the coins.

Zhou Lao Da was also counting the days. In the past, when his parents were at home, he and Li just had to obey them. When his parents were not at home, they had a very hard time. He and Li had lost weight. "It should be time now."

Li threw the copper plate aside and asked, "When will mother come home?"

Her mother is not at home and everyone helps her. She doesn't feel like the eldest sister-in-law at all. Her two younger siblings are too shrewd.
