Chapter 541 Purpose

Zhulan felt so pitiful when she saw the three members of the Li family getting on the carriage without coming to their senses. She glanced at Su Xuan, who had anger in her eyes, and turned around and went back silently.

Zhou Shuren coughed and went to the yamen with his words.

Li clutched her handkerchief, feeling sad. She thought her family members would not dare to come to her house, so she waved to the head of the household and said, "Give me a hand."

Boss Zhou looked at his wife who was hit, his mouth twitching. He wanted to say that he had something to do and would not go back to the yard, but seeing that his son's thin body could not support his wife, he decided to do it himself. He stretched out his hand to support her, but his wife was really rude and pressed down on him in an instant. It was so heavy!

Mingyun pulled Mingteng and Mingrui, who were in a bad mood, to retreat. To be honest, he was a little afraid of his fourth uncle!

Soon, only the young couple from the fourth room were left at the gate. Chang Zhi also hurriedly ran away, but unfortunately he was caught as soon as he ran. Su Xuan smiled gently, "Husband, where are you going?"

Changzhi, ".......Madam, can you please stop laughing?"

Strange and creepy.

Su Xuan, "Hmm?"

Changzhi, ".......My wife and I will go back to the yard."

Qi Mo looked at his grandfather and couldn't help but covering his face. He couldn't bear to look at it!

On the afternoon of the second day, Mrs. Dong arrived in a carriage. She did not come alone, but her son and daughter also came with her. It was not just to visit Mrs. Dong. You know, Jiang Muchen is the legitimate son of the Jiang family, and he is nine years old. He is not young anymore. At this age, he should stay with Lord Jiang to be taught.

Mrs. Dong brought a lot of gifts, and everyone in the Zhou family was prepared. The New Year gifts brought in advance plus the gifts for the visit, the Jiang family spent a lot of money this time. Zhulan looked at the screen given to her, "It's really too polite."

Mrs. Dong said embarrassedly, "I should have come to visit you a long time ago, but I have a lot of things to do at home. Please don't blame me, auntie."

After hearing this, Zhulan looked at Mrs. Dong carefully. Women who are unhappy age quickly. Mrs. Dong's clothes are getting darker and her face is thickly powdered. Zhulan felt sad. She had told Zhou Shuren that Mrs. Dong married for love, but Mr. Jiang couldn't resist his beauty. "How can I blame you for saying that? You are just too unconventional."

After a pause, he continued, "I haven't seen Mu Chen and Mu Lan for a few years. They have grown into little adults now. Let me take a good look at them."

Mrs. Dong touched her children's backs, and the two children came forward to greet them, "Hello, Grandma Zhou."

Zhulan was used to being called grandma, so she smiled and waved. The two children were well-developed, especially the girl. The boy was also good-looking. Although he was not yet ten years old, he had already become a gentle and graceful young man. "Let me take a good look at him."

Zhulan winked at Mrs. Song as she spoke. They had a tacit understanding. Mrs. Song stepped back and soon came back with the tray.

Zhulan took the jade pendant from the plate and handed it to Muchen, and gave the exquisite headdress to Mulan.

Mrs. Dong took a quick look and felt complicated. In just a few years, the Zhou family had already accumulated a fortune that was beyond compare. The jade pendants and head ornaments were all rare and exquisite. "Auntie, you are too polite."

Zhulan smiled and said, "I like these two children."

Mrs. Dong gave gifts to each branch, and naturally each branch had to give gifts in return, and all the gifts went to the two children. Each branch of the Zhou family had its own industry and friends when they went out, so they still had some good things, and the gifts they gave in return were not bad.

Zhulan saw that the two children were acting reserved, so she said to Xuehan, "You two are of the same age, so you don't need to accompany us. Go out and play."

Xue Han is the elder, "Mom, let's go out now."

"good."

Xue Han took the younger generations out. Without the children in the room, it suddenly seemed less crowded. After a while, several of the Li family members returned with their own things to do. In the end, only the eldest Dong and Dong were left.

Mrs. Dong casually said, "Auntie's two granddaughters, Yushuang is eight years old, and Yulu is six years old."

Zhulan raised her eyebrows. She had just met them and had not introduced the ages of her granddaughters. She smiled and said, "Yes, the older one is eight years old, and the younger one is six years old."

Mrs. Dong followed up with another question: "I heard that Sister Xue Han got engaged a long time ago. Auntie, don't you want to arrange marriages for the two girls?"

Zhulan understood that Mrs. Dong had brought her son here for the two girls. Her granddaughter had become a hot commodity in the blink of an eye. She had hosted many banquets in Jinzhou City. Zhulan really didn't want to arrange a marriage for her granddaughter. Yushuang was pretty, so she had to choose carefully. Yulu, the girl with big ideas, was not in a hurry. She smiled and said, "The two children are too young. There's no hurry, no hurry."

Dong looked at her sister, feeling angry, but when she saw the wrinkles at the corners of her sister's eyes, her anger disappeared and she was left with sadness. Why did her sister want to arrange an engagement for Muchen? It was because she didn't trust her brother-in-law and she also wanted to give herself more confidence. For the Jiang family, the Zhou family was a rare marriage partner.

Mrs. Dong smiled. She was not anxious. She had confidence in her son. As for hearing from her sister that the Zhou family did not take concubines, she was really envious. She had been hurt by men twice, and she only hoped that her son would be a man of love and righteousness. "Auntie is right. He is too young. There is really no need to be anxious."

Zhulan raised her eyebrows, which meant she had not given up. She smiled and said, "You must be tired after sitting in the carriage for most of the day. Go back and rest first. We can talk when you have rested well."

Mrs. Dong was indeed tired. She had gotten up early in the morning and hadn't ridden in a carriage for so long in a long time. Her waist was in pain. "Auntie, I'll go and rest first."

"Go ahead. If you need anything, just tell Dong. You're welcome."

"Why."

Mrs. Dong and her elder sister left the main courtyard. Mrs. Dong supported her younger sister and looked at the scenery in the garden. "The garden is exquisite, very nice."

Mrs. Dong walked carefully, "It will be more beautiful when the plum blossoms in the garden bloom."

Mrs. Dong smiled, and when she was alone with her, she said, "Are you blaming me for coming here with a purpose?"

Mrs. Dong sighed, "I was angry at first, but then I calmed down. It's not easy for my sister either."

The eldest sister was the second to marry her brother-in-law. She lacked confidence to begin with, and her natal family could not provide support. When she returned to the capital, her brother-in-law became ambitious, and everything changed. He could not help but hold her sister's hand tightly.

The corners of Mrs. Dong's mouth curled up. She felt at ease after leaving the Jiang Mansion. She had changed too. Her hands were stained with blood. She and her husband could never go back to the way they were. "We are sisters. I really envy you."

Dong felt heavy in her heart. Compared with her elder sister, she was indeed happier. All she could do was listen.

The two sisters returned to the courtyard, and Mrs. Dong took her elder sister to the room, "Sister, this room is yours, the one next to it is Mu Lan's, and the one opposite is Muchen's. By the way, there is Mr. Shi at home, so Mu Lan should come with you, and as for Muchen, let Chang Lian take care of him."

Mrs. Dong was very concerned about her sister's arrangement. "My brother-in-law will take part in the provincial examination next year. Are you sure?"

Mrs. Dong was quite confident about this. "With the husband taught by Mr. Meng and my father-in-law, there shouldn't be any big problems."

"When I came here, your brother-in-law mentioned Chang Lian. He was thinking about Chang Lian if he had time to go to the capital."

Dong said, "I will talk to Chang Lian."

My brother-in-law takes good care of Chang Lian, but it’s a pity that the Zhou family is really not suitable to go to Beijing!
