The Third Aunt smiled and said, "No need. I'm used to living in this mansion. If something really happens to the Master, I can accompany him to the end."
But what she was thinking in her heart was that she had to tell Zhou Dabing this amazing "good news" in person before he died.
It would be best if Zhou Dabing could be made to die of anger directly, so that the resentment in her heart can be completely released.
After hearing this, the other concubines really thought that the Third Concubine was deeply in love with Mr. Zhou, so they could only wave goodbye to her regretfully and walk towards the back door.
Seeing this, Xu Jinhuan was about to walk into the house of the richest man Zhou, when he saw an elderly couple and a middle-aged man walking in anxiously.
"Sister, how is Da Bing?"
The woman had a strange look on her face, as if she was extremely happy, but she was trying hard to suppress the rise of the corners of her mouth, making herself look sad, which looked particularly weird.
The man next to the woman said loudly, "Yes, what happened? As soon as I heard something happened, I immediately brought your sister-in-law and Ying'er over here."
When the Third Aunt saw the big and strong Zhou Ying in front of her, tears flashed in her eyes. She patted Zhou Ying on the shoulder and said with a smile, "My Ying'er has grown stronger again."
Then, he turned to his brother and sister-in-law and said, "Brother and sister-in-law, please follow me to the reception area in the courtyard and sit down. I will tell you everything in detail."
The old man said carelessly, "Mei'er, you've lived in the Zhou family for so long, and you haven't learned anything else, but you know a lot of rules. It's really annoying."
The woman glared at her man and said, "Do you know how to speak? Just look at the concubines Zhou Dabing married, and you will know that my sister must have suffered a lot over the years.
If you, as the eldest brother, don't feel sorry for her, then who else can feel sorry for her?"
The man knew that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately smiled in a flattering manner at the Third Aunt.
"Sister, my brother is used to being rude, so don't argue with him. As long as you and Ying'er are doing well, your sister-in-law and I will be satisfied."
The Third Aunt would naturally not say anything. After she gave birth to Ying'er, she was in a bad mood and had no milk, so it was the eldest sister-in-law who helped feed the child.
After she first entered the Zhou Mansion, it was her elder sister-in-law and mother who helped take care of Ying'er. Otherwise, she would really be too busy to kill the noble eldest lady.
Therefore, she smiled and said, "Brother and sister-in-law, we are a family and we should not talk about our differences. From now on, we will rely on Ying'er to enjoy our happiness."
The third aunt spoke as she walked forward, leading the way for the three people.
Therefore, no one saw the three of them staring at each other strangely for a moment after hearing these words, and then the dark tides in their eyes as they looked at her back.
Xu Jinhuan saw it, so she was a little confused. Logically speaking, shouldn't Ying'er be the third aunt's child? Why did she look more like her eldest sister-in-law?
Adhering to the principle of not eating the melon if you have it, Xu Jinhuan followed him happily.
The few of them soon arrived at the meeting place. After the Third Aunt sent the servants away, she poured them tea with a smile.
"Come, drink some tea to moisten your throat first, or you'll cry later."
When the Third Aunt's eldest brother heard this, his eyes sparkled and he said with surprise, "Is this really going to happen?"
The third aunt smiled and nodded, "Okay, if he can still survive, I don't mind giving him some more ingredients and sending him away."
"Okay, then our Wu family will be the new richest family in Tongqiao County." Wu Dahai, the third aunt's eldest brother, said with a bright smile.
The Third Aunt looked at Wu Dahai helplessly and said, "Brother, you are talking nonsense again. Although Ying'er is not in Zhou Dabing's family tree, he was adopted by the Zhou family's branch. No matter what, he is still a child of the Zhou family.
We can just listen to this kind of talk, but don’t say it in front of outsiders, or else it will cause trouble for Ying’er.”
She didn't notice that when she said this, the three of them exchanged strange looks with a hint of mockery in their eyes.
"Mom, where is the golden key? Anyway, this Zhou family will be mine sooner or later, so please give it to me first." Zhou Ying said to the third aunt.
The Third Aunt was a little hesitant when she heard this. If she gave the golden key to Ying'er without appearing in front of the clan elders, wouldn't it be a bit improper? Would it affect her reputation in the future?
Seeing that the Third Aunt was hesitant, Zhou Ying resorted to acting like a spoiled brat.
"Mother, my dear mother, I can only see you a few times a year. This golden key is your gift to me. Whenever I see the golden key, I will remember you."
Xu Jinhuan almost vomited when he saw the 30-something burly man in front of him acting coquettishly towards the skinny Third Aunt. It was so greasy, really too greasy.
But Third Aunt just fell for it. She touched Zhou Ying's face distressedly and said, "Okay, mother will give it to you. When that old man dies, we will never be separated again..."
Before she could finish expressing her emotions, Zhou Ying got the golden key and happily showed it to Wu Dahai and his wife opposite.
"Dad... Uncle, Aunt, look!"
Immersed in her own thoughts, the Third Aunt didn't even notice that Zhou Ying had just shouted something wrong.
When she came to her senses, Zhou Ying was already sitting between Wu Dahai and his wife, showing his golden key.
For a moment, the Third Aunt actually felt that Ying'er and they were a family.
But then she realized that Ying'er was raised by her eldest brother and sister-in-law when she was young, so it was normal for Ying'er to be closer to them.
Suddenly, a gurgling sound was heard in the room.
Zhou Ying rubbed his head sheepishly and said, "I ate less tonight. I didn't expect I'm hungry now."
Upon hearing this, the Third Aunt immediately became full of love and said, "Ying'er, wait a minute. I'll go to the kitchen and bring you some food."
After saying this, he pulled open the curtain and left without waiting for Zhou Ying to refuse.
After the Third Aunt left, the three people in the room stopped pretending.
"Mom and Dad, when can I call you openly?"
Zhou Ying threw away the simple and honest look he had shown in front of the Third Aunt. He crossed his legs lazily, picked up a fruit and started eating it.
Wu Dahai smiled and said, "It will be soon, soon. Just wait for Zhou Dabing to die, and then you will become the head of the Zhou family. No one will dare to criticize you no matter what you want to do."
"I see. My aunt can then go with the richest man Zhou and say that she was too heartbroken." Zhou Ying said with a smile.
Wu Dahai laughed and scolded, "You little bastard, you are even better than your father and mother in terms of cruelty."
Zhou Ying shrugged and said, "I hate her so much. Every time she sees me, her eyes are filled with tears. People who don't know her would think I'm going to die at such a young age. It's really unlucky!"
Mrs. Wu patted her son on the shoulder and said, "My son is right. Dongmei should have gone down to accompany her son who died young.
In fact, we are kindhearted and worried that she would not be able to handle it at such a young age, so we specially lent her the child."
