Chapter 472: My Cousin is a Good Person
"You know, Doctor Jiang has only been in the capital for a short time. Now he has offended the Zhou family and the princess. Many people want to harm them, both openly and covertly. If they use your information as a pretext to harm Doctor Jiang, wouldn't you be adding to the chaos? The capital is full of complicated situations. Our family is on good terms with Doctor Jiang, and everyone knows it now. What if a few spies sneak in? To be honest, there are only two of us in your courtyard right now, Steward Lin and I. Even your sister and your brother-in-law haven't been allowed in. Think about it carefully..."
Lin Ziyi is not a fool, he is such a smart young man.
He suddenly got up.
His face was full of shame.
"Mom, I was wrong!"
Mrs. Lin smiled and patted his shoulder gently.
"Correct your mistakes, get up and eat, be normal. Even if you're unhappy, we have to cheer up for Doctor Jiang."
Lin Ziyi nodded heavily, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Liking someone doesn’t necessarily mean you have to possess her. Isn’t it better to see her doing well?
To like someone can also mean to protect them silently.
You can also become stronger and better for the love in your heart...
Lin Ziyi hadn't eaten for three meals and was already starving.
My stomach is growling.
Mrs. Lin helped him clear up his mind again, and he got out of bed without hesitation to eat.
"Mom, I don't want to eat cold food. Give me something hot. Forget it, I'll go find it myself in the kitchen..."
When the door was opened, it was like a burst of fire and disappeared.
Mrs. Lin laughed.
Her son is so innocent.
***
Mrs. Zhou came out of her father's study. She felt a little relieved about Liao Jiu's safety, but her resentment towards Jiang Lianzhu deepened.
At first she was worried about her son, but now that his life is no longer in danger, she is blaming the person who put her son in danger.
Back to the yard where she lived.
This was where she lived before she got married. Even after so many years of marriage, the yard she lived in was still left to her so that she could live there when she returned to her parents' home. This shows how much the Zhou family doted on her.
The old Prime Minister Zhou had only this one daughter, and she was also the legitimate daughter, so she had been spoiled since she was a child.
Until now, there are not many legitimate daughters in the Zhou family, only one, named Zhou Mingzhu.
However, he did have two illegitimate daughters, one named Zhou Mingyue and the other named Zhou Mingxing.
Every time she came back to the Zhou family, her nieces were very welcoming and all of them came to talk to her, especially the two daughters, who kept calling her "Auntie".
Zhou Mingyue is one of the two daughters of the prime minister's mansion. She is sixteen years old this year and is as beautiful as the bright moon. She is much more talented than Zhou Mingzhu, the legitimate daughter of the Zhou family of this generation.
She has a slim figure, a pair of big eyes as curved as the bright moon, and two shallow dimples. Her smile is particularly sweet.
He is usually eloquent and good at reading people's expressions, and gets along well with Mrs. Zhou.
It can be said that she is Mrs. Zhou’s favorite niece in her mother’s family.
Madam Zhou had just returned to the courtyard when Zhou Mingyue brought people over. She looked even more nervous than Madam Zhou, "How is it? Aunt? Is my cousin okay?"
"It should be fine. Your grandfather said that he only suffered some minor injuries from the beating. The medicine has been sent in and he will be fine after applying some application. There is no extra movement from the emperor. Now we just have to wait a few days to see if the emperor calms down. If he calms down, your cousin can be released. After all, your cousin is the emperor's favorite, and the emperor has to rely on your cousin in many things." Mrs. Zhou unconsciously took on a proud tone.
Zhou Mingyue let out a long sigh and patted his chest. "That's good, that's good. I told you, cousin is a lucky guy, so he should be fine."
She was so scared that she couldn't sleep well last night.
I was afraid that Liao Jiu would really be executed by the emperor.
"You still have a conscience, girl. I just heard that you didn't sleep all night last night because you wrote scriptures to pray for your cousin. Is that true or not?"
Zhou Mingyue lowered her head in embarrassment. "I was just so worried I couldn't sleep. I have nothing to do anyway, so I decided to practice calligraphy."
Madam Zhou sighed, "You're a thoughtful person. You were kind to your cousin, and I remember that. But it's a pity that your cousin has been bewitched by a village woman. It makes me furious just thinking about it. How could he have raised such a worthless son? Who, you or the princess, is unworthy of him?"
Zhou Mingyue pursed her dimples and looked embarrassed.
"Aunt, please stop talking like that. How can I be compared to the eldest princess? If my cousin doesn't mind, I'm willing to be his concubine. I'd be marrying up."
Mrs. Zhou’s ideal solution before was to marry the eldest princess as his wife and Zhou Mingyue as his concubine.
These two were the women she had chosen as the most suitable for Liao Jiu.
The eldest princess is powerful and can help Liao Jiu more.
Zhou Mingyue also truly loved Liao Jiu, and he married her as his concubine in order to repay her family and to establish a closer relationship with them. This way, after she passed away, the blood of the two families would be closer.
Anyway, this is her wishful thinking.
Unexpectedly, Liao Jiu disobeyed the order and caused this situation.
Her wishful thinking was completely disrupted.
Seeing Madam Zhou's gloomy look, Zhou Mingyue softly tried to comfort her, "Aunt, at this moment, we just hope that cousin is safe and sound. Don't worry about anything else. There's nothing wrong with that village woman as long as cousin likes her. To be honest, Doctor Jiang is the adopted mother of Prince Xiaoxiang and the others, and she has excellent medical skills that can bring people back to life. Apart from anything else, if any of our family members have a headache or a fever, it would be convenient for them to see a doctor..."
Zhou Mingyue also found it unbelievable at first that Liao Jiu fell in love with Jiang Lianzhu, a village woman.
He even looked down on her and actually fell in love with a village woman.
Later, she thought about it again. If Liao Jiu really married this village woman, then if she married Liao Jiu, wouldn't she be able to become Mrs. Ping?
If Liao Jiu marries a princess, she will definitely only be a concubine, and may not even be able to be a chief concubine.
But marrying a village woman is different. Compared with Jiang Lianzhu, her status and position are much more noble than her. With Madam Zhou's support, she may even become a commoner.
Children born in the future will no longer be called illegitimate!
The reason she lost in this life was her status as a daughter of a noble family. Her appearance, talent, intelligence and means were no less than those of the legitimate daughter Zhou Mingzhu, but her status was not as good as Zhou Mingzhu's. Therefore, when they went out to visit guests, no one really treated them as equals. She always sat at the same table with the daughters of noble families, while Zhou Mingzhu always sat at the upper seats next to the ladies of the house, enjoying the attention of everyone.
She had envied him countless times.
She also wanted to be a wife, but looking across the entire capital, which man was as outstanding as her cousin?
