Chapter 778: Chaos is Coming
"I wonder if the second child can make it back before Chao Chao's eighth birthday."
"The journey is long and tiring, and I don't know if Cancan can bear it."
Xu Shiyun waited at the door every day, waiting for Lu Zhengyue to lead his troops back to Beijing.
"Madam, Miss Zhou is here, and she seems to have red eyes." Dengzhi reported in a low voice.
Miss Zhou is Rong Che’s cousin, Zhou Shuyao.
I don't want to get married after I'm over 20, and my parents have already made a fuss several times out of anxiety. It is said that the mansion had considered promising her to Rong Che.
However, Zhou Shuyao and Rong Che were disgusted with each other and refused the proposal one after another.
"What's going on? Have you heard anything?" Xu Shiyun put down what he was doing and hurried over.
"Why else? I guess it's about marriage."
The eldest son is unwilling to get married, which has become a source of worry for his lady. Miss Zhou is a woman, and life in this world is already difficult for women. Gossip is probably extremely unpleasant to hear.
Xu Shiyun sighed, and when she entered the room, she waved her hand to let the maids and servants leave.
When Zhou Shuyao saw her come in, she wiped her tears and talked about business: "Madam, the first batch of female students have been in school for three years, and they are going to try out next year."
Xu Shiyun's eyes lit up: "Really? What did the Master say? Are you sure?"
Xu Shiyun has both a son and a daughter, so she is ultimately unable to send her daughter to school.
Zhou Shuyao has been busy most of these years, and the girls in the school respectfully call her Dean Zhou.
"The saint said, you can give it a try."
"Although Yuzhu has only been in school for three years, her talent and diligence far surpass others. The saint praised her a lot, and it was the saint himself who asked her to give it a try."
"She also has pressure in her heart."
"I have been thinking about the five-year agreement between the princess and the court officials all day long. I have done my best over the years." She knew that she was involved in more than just a bet with the princess.
It is the future of millions of women.
A small step back for the courtiers would be a big step forward for them.
She must stand firm on that step.
Xu Shiyun also understood: "Tell her that she doesn't need to think too much. If she wants to try, she can try. If she doesn't want to, no one can force her."
"It's you, on the other hand, who's having a conflict with your family again?"
Zhou Shuyao lowered her head slightly and twisted her handkerchief tightly.
"Cousin, do you think it is really a heinous crime for a woman not to get married? Will it really bring shame to the family?"
"Even if I go out now and everyone calls me Dean Zhou, it still can't compare to my unwillingness to get married?" She had tears in her eyes and felt confused and aggrieved.
The old lady in the family angrily scolded: What’s the point of you paying so much for girls’ education? They are not your children.
What’s the point of Dean Zhou being so powerful? A woman who does not marry will be a disgrace to the family.
Xu Shiyun listened to her crying quietly without interrupting her.
Only after she vented all her sorrow did Xu Shiyun take out her handkerchief to wipe her tears.
"President Zhou, this is you who is respected by the world."
"Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, these are just names you use to rely on men."
Xu Shiyun didn't give any advice, as she never needed consolation. Yes, he supported her. He only said these two sentences and asked the maid to serve the meal and keep Zhou Shuyao to eat.
Xu Shiyun has become the most noble woman in the world in this life.
Pick any one of your husband, son, or daughter, they all have famous names.
Who in Jeonbuk-soo doesn't envy her?
But her glory does not come from herself. From my husband, from my son, and from my daughter.
She is not a greedy person. She knows that she is content with the current situation and does not have too big ambitions, so she is satisfied.
But Zhou Shuyao is not.
She has had the mentality of being no less capable than boys since she was young. When life was difficult in the past, she struggled to suppress her thoughts and tried her best to be like a virtuous girl from a noble family.
But the occasional strangeness that appears is still shocking.
Now, Chao Chao has fought for a glimmer of hope for the woman, and she has taken advantage of the situation and lived her own life.
How painful it is to have an eagle that has already grown wings have its wings broken and be trapped in the backyard again.
Xu Shiyun will not and cannot persuade.
Zhou Shuyao did not eat, but just pursed her lips as if to thank Xu Shiyun.
"Why are you thanking me? You are a girl with your own opinions and never need my advice." Xu Shiyun liked her very much. She was free and easy-going and dared to pursue the life she wanted. If you don't depend on anyone, you can live your best life.
She is Zhou Shuyao, and only Zhou Shuyao.
Not Zhou, not Mrs. Zhou.
The smile on her face was very ostentatious, and when she was about to leave, she happened to meet Lu Yanshu who was returning home.
She looked at Lu Yanshu jokingly, her eyes full of gloating.
"I heard that your blind date has a man?" She looked gossipy...
Lu Yanshu frowned: "Miss Zhou, your eyebrows are in a hurry, how can you still have time to watch a play?" Zhou Shuyao's face fell, and she was talking about something irrelevant.
Her marriage was chosen by her grandmother, but she was afraid there would be some trouble.
"Two brothers in distress." Zhou Shuyao sighed softly, then shook his head and left.
Lu Chaochao was lying behind the door, and his head popped out stealthily.
"Brother, you are unmarried and she is unmarried, so why don't you marry Miss Zhou?"
"Isn't it the best of both worlds? Kill two birds with one stone!"
The more Lu Chaochao thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to her. It would keep the wealth within the family and the two families wouldn't have to get along.
Lu Yanshu couldn't help laughing out loud: "You're so young, and you still don't know how to get married... Besides, wouldn't it be that she and I... have messed up our generations?"
As he spoke, Lu Yanshu squatted down seriously and was level with Lu Chaochao.
She said earnestly, "Chao Chao, all men in the world are heartless. You must never put your sincerity in front of a man and let him trample on it. Do you understand?"
"A good-looking man is good for nothing, and a talented man is a playboy and amorous."
"Men are best at sweet talk and deceiving women's hearts." The long string of gibberish made Lu Chaochao confused.
It was not until her eldest brother repeatedly reminded her that she nodded and agreed: "I know, I know. I will remember it every day."
Lu Yanshu wanted to say something, but Chao Chao's face was full of confusion, his eyes were clear, and he slapped his forehead suddenly.
I am such a fool.
Chao Chao hasn't figured it out yet.
No matter how many thoughts a young man has, he will be powerless to display them in front of Chao Chao.
Lu Yanshu felt relieved.
At night, the lights were on in the Lu family's house all night long, and Xu Shiyun walked back and forth in the yard anxiously.
The servant walked in quickly and shouted, "Second Master, come back."
"The Second Master has come to the palace to report. The Second Madam has arrived at the door and is ready to dismount."
When everyone in the palace heard this, they were filled with joy and opened the main gate to welcome him.
Lu Chaochao and Shanshan sat up and looked at each other, excited and agitated: "Hurry up, get ready to upgrade!!"
The two little kids were ecstatic. From now on, I am the elder! ! !
There was laughter and peace in the Lu Mansion.
Outside the Jiuxiao Palace, dark clouds gathered, the divine army gathered, and thunder roared.
Han Chuan's face was cold and sinister: "The Way of Heaven is the supreme rule, representing the ultimate fairness."
"Now, the way of heaven has given rise to selfish desires, which is a great disaster for the three realms!"
"Gods, listen to my command!!"
"Besiege the Heavenly Dao and restore justice to the three realms!"
