Chapter 846 Finale 25
Quan Jiu got out of the car and walked into the mahogany gate of the temple. When he reached the backyard courtyard, he smelled the scent of burning incense and candles.
A large family like the Zhou family, which has lasted for more than two hundred years, still retains many customs of the old feudal era, emphasizing the importance of legitimate sons and daughters, and the order of hierarchy. This place is the Zhou family's clan ancestral hall.
Since the wine had come, he decided to make the best of it. He followed the old housekeeper to the gate of the ancestral hall at a leisurely pace. He wanted to go in, but was stopped.
The housekeeper said: "This is the Zhou family ancestral hall. Non-Zhou family members are not allowed to enter. Miss, please wait a moment. I will go in and inform you."
As soon as Quan Jiu entered the ancestral hall, she felt a faint demonic aura. She nodded calmly, and in the eyes of others, she seemed to be in a good mood.
Mr. Zhou had only seen Quan Jiu in photos, and now that he saw her in person, he realized how “unphotogenic” she was.
The woman was wearing a slim-fitting white dress with a corset, and her appearance was extremely beautiful. When she looked up at him, her eyes were calm and profound, making her look more like a calm and wise elder than he was.
"Is this the woman Jing'er is clamoring to marry?"
Behind Mr. Zhou were three middle-aged men and a young man and woman.
The person who asked the question was Mr. Zhou’s second son, Zhou An.
"No wonder Cousin Jing suddenly became obsessed and wanted to go against Grandpa. He's just like a vixen..." the young woman said.
"Sui Sui, don't talk nonsense."
Mr. Zhou San seemed to be trying to stop his daughter, but there was no trace of blame in his tone.
Quan Jiu heard the conversation between the few people, but did not take it to heart. His eyes were fixed on Mr. Zhou's eyebrows.
The old man had a full forehead, which was a sign of good fortune, but at this moment there was a dark aura lingering between his eyebrows, making him look a little decadent.
"Ms. Quan."
Mr. Zhou took the initiative to speak.
Quan Jiu nodded and said, "Master Zhou, I wonder what is enshrined in this ancestral hall?"
When these words were spoken, everyone except Mr. Zhou was stunned. They were surprised that she had taken the lead and also surprised at the reason for her question.
The old man narrowed his wrinkled eyes: "What do you mean, Miss Quan?"
Quan Jiu: "There's nothing good in there. I guess Mr. Zhou hasn't been in a good mental state recently. He often feels sleepy and weak during the day, and tosses and turns at night."
Without waiting for Mr. Zhou to react, the butler beside her looked up at her in surprise.
She actually got it right?!
Zhou An looked displeased and slightly angry: "You are a young girl who knows nothing, but you want to pretend to be an expert? Do you know how precious the things inside are..."
"That's enough."
Mr. Zhou suddenly interrupted him.
Zhou An opened his lips, but ultimately didn't say anything else.
Mr. Zhou turned around and looked at Quan Jiu:
"When people get old, it's inevitable that they will feel a little less powerful."
Obviously, he didn't intend to delve into Quanjiu's reminder.
"Miss Quan, I believe you already know why I called you here today."
Quan Jiu said bluntly: "Old man wants me to leave Zhou Jing?"
Mr. Zhou did not give a direct answer:
"I just heard yesterday that Miss Quan has a son."
If he had wavered before, after knowing that Quan Jiu had a son, he resolutely decided to be a villain who "broke up the couple".
Quan Jiu did not refute. Little Youzi grew up too fast, and no one would believe him if he said he was Zhou Jing's son.
"I do have a son."
She admitted it neither humbly nor arrogantly, without hiding anything, and there was even a hint of frankness and pride between her brows.
...dividing line...
I will write another chapter later to make up for yesterday’s. It’s very late, so don’t wait for the update. Go to bed early. Good night!
