When the mother-in-law heard this, she asked in confusion, "What do you mean, ma'am?"
Zhou immediately said coldly, "Of course we are going to the Lu Mansion! Isn't Lu Zhizhang the Young Minister of Dali Temple? The imperial edict he received today also called him to the palace to handle the case. Maybe this is the case he is handling!"
"Let's beg him now! Maybe the master can still have a glimmer of hope of survival."
However, just as Zhou finished speaking, another person rushed in from outside the house: "Madam, Mrs. Wang said she wants to see you!"
As soon as Mrs. Zhou heard that Mrs. Wang was coming, she immediately said, "No! Won't you say I'm not at home?"
When the servant heard this, he was just wondering, "But Mrs. Wang said that if my wife doesn't see her, she will always stay at the door of our house, and she is complaining everywhere when she meets people."
Ms. Zhou also realized something. When she heard this, she could only say helplessly, "Then you'd better let her in."
After listening to Zhou's words, Wang was soon brought in.
Mrs. Zhou, on the other hand, stopped her embarrassed posture and said calmly, "Mrs. Wang, what are you doing here?"
Wang's hair was messy at this time, and she was no longer in her usual posture. "Mrs. Zhou, you have made me suffer so much! My brother and my husband were taken away. What on earth did you do? Why did everything change?" It’s like this.”
"You also said that after everything was done, you would take my husband to a promotion. Now I have done everything, but what about the result! In the end, my father and my brother were both sent to prison. Don't you want me to die? "
Hearing Mrs. Wang crying and shouting, Ms. Zhou was quite calm.
"What a big deal I am! Do you think I can frame you? If it were to frame you, my husband wouldn't be able to go in."
"I don't care if you framed me or not! Anyway, I just know that you have to clear my husband and brother's name! Otherwise, I will never be done with you!"
Hearing what the other party said, Ms. Zhou only said, "Just say it properly. Am I just about to find someone for help? How can I ask for help if you stop me at the door?"
After hearing what Zhou said, Zhou's expression did not look sad. Her husband was also arrested now, and she knew it.
However, there was no sadness on her face at this moment.
Could it be that Zhou really has other ideas?
As soon as she considered this possibility, Wang couldn't help but shed tears.
"Mrs. Zhou, is what you said true?"
Zhou didn't hide it from Wang, "Of course it's true. The person handling this case is someone from Dali Temple, and the young minister of Dali Temple should be the one who takes over the case."
"Do you know who the Young Minister of Dali Temple is?"
Mrs. Wang thought for a moment, and then whispered, "You mean Mr. Lu?"
Mrs. Zhou nodded, "Yes, that's Mr. Lu. We just went to the Lu family today to attend the tea party hosted by the old lady of the Lu family."
"The old lady of the Lu family is very fond of my daughter, and Master Lu is also very enamored of my daughter. I am 90% sure that if I take my daughter to plead for mercy, Master Lu will definitely help my daughter."
Zhou's words were all bragging later on.
However, Mrs. Wang didn't doubt it, or she could only be a dead horse at the moment.
"Mrs. Zhou, is everything you said true?" Wang asked softly.
Mrs. Zhou immediately said, "Of course it's true, we are getting ready to go out."
Mrs. Wang immediately said, "Madam, can you please also help my husband and brother to beg for mercy? Our family and my natal family cannot live without them. If we don't have them, how can our family live?"
As soon as he saw Mrs. Wang, he started to burst into tears again.
Mrs. Zhou could only say softly, "Okay, Mrs. Wang, after you have said so much, I don't want to talk nonsense with you. Since I went to the Lu family, I will definitely help your family to intercede for mercy. You don't have to worry that I won't Please help you."
After hearing what Zhou said, Wang finally burst into laughter.
After Mrs. Zhou coaxed Mrs. Wang with a few words, she sent someone to send Mrs. Wang away.
After Mrs. Wang left, Mrs. Zhou whispered, "Hurry up and call the eldest lady over."
Hearing Zhou's words, a woman in the hall said yes, and then the woman left.
Then Mrs. Zhou just said to the mother-in-law beside her, "Go and pack up all the things in my makeup box."
After listening to Mrs. Zhou's words, the woman quickly went down.
Not long after the woman left, Zhou Yaoniang came over with a bowl of soup and medicine. "Mom, can you take a sip of the medicine?"
Mrs. Zhou looked at her daughter, and then she said with complicated eyes, "Put the medicine on the table to cool down first!"
Zhou Yaoniang said yes when she heard this.
Then she asked Zhou in a low voice, "Mom, what do you want to see me for?"
Mrs. Zhou chuckled softly when she heard this, "Yes, I'm going to take you to your grandfather's house."
Hearing this, Zhou Yaoniang felt happy at first, but then she soon felt that something was wrong with this matter.
So she just said immediately, "Mom, didn't those people who came today say that we are not allowed to go anywhere?"
"It's not like we'll never come back. We can go wherever we want, and they can't control it." Mrs. Zhou said impatiently after hearing this. xue一二.Com
Then she glanced at Zhou Yaoniang again and said, "Anyway, don't worry about this. Just dress yourself up for me. We will set off in a moment."
After hearing Zhou's words, Zhou Yaoniang could only nod timidly.
Then she returned to her room, and then she put on some nice makeup and put on her most beautiful dress under the help of others.
On weekdays, her mother always tells her to keep a low profile and not to stand out too much.
So she always wore very ordinary clothes, but today she suddenly dressed like this. She was not used to it for a while.
"Miss, have you changed your clothes? It's time for us to set off!"
Hearing the urging outside, Zhou Yaoniang finally went out.
At that moment, everyone outside the house was just looking at Zhou Yaoniang silently, and Zhou Yaoniang was not used to it.
When she walked to her mother, she was even more unaccustomed and said to her mother, "Mom, is it not good for me to do this?"
Hearing Zhou Yaoniang's question, Mrs. Zhou immediately said, "What's wrong? Our Yaoniang is so beautiful, so naturally we should wear nice clothes."
Zhou Yaoniang whispered, "But that's not what you said before."
At this moment, Mrs. Zhou was in no mood to argue with Zhou Yaoniang about the past and the past, so she only said perfunctorily, "Now is different from the past."
After the words fell, Mrs. Zhou also asked Zhou Yaoniang to put on a mask.
Afterwards, several of them got into the carriage. The carriage was driving slowly, but the people in the carriage were silent. Everyone had their own thoughts, and no one could see through them.
Zhou Yaoniang never thought that the journey to her grandfather's house would be so short.
As the driver outside the carriage said.
Zhou Yaoniang opened the curtain and saw a huge Lu family plaque hanging on the house.
Isn't this the Lu Mansion that we just came to this morning?
Zhou Yaoniang lowered the curtain and glanced at her mother awkwardly, "Mom, this is not my grandfather's house, this seems to be the Lu Mansion. Did the coachman go to the wrong place?"
Hearing Zhou Yaoniang's belated words, Mrs. Zhou just said expressionlessly, "You are right, this is Lu Mansion, but it's not that the coachman went wrong, our destination is to go to Lu Mansion." .”
Zhou Yaoniang was obviously a little surprised, "What are we doing in Lu Mansion now?"
Facing Zhou Yaoniang's question, Zhou just said calmly, "Of course I'm going to save your father!"
"Dad is in prison, how can we save him?" Zhou Yaoniang was obviously a little confused.
After hearing this, Zhou said calmly, "I need your help."
"Mother, how can I help?" Zhou Yaoniang became even more confused.
Zhou said calmly, "This time your father was imprisoned, and the person who was interrogating the matter was Mr. Lu Xiaohou. If you can make him sympathize with you, if you can intercede with him, maybe your father can still be saved." .”
"Even if you can't beg him, the old lady can still beg you. It can be seen that she still likes you very much."
When Zhou Yaoniang heard what her mother said, she understood what she meant.
But this time, Zhou Yaoniang didn't cry or make a fuss. She just said quietly, "Mom, I understand."
Seeing that she understood, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but grab Zhou Yaoniang's hand and said, "Good girl, you have been wronged, but if you can enter the Lu family's gate, this may not be a bad thing for you."
"Mom, I know." Zhou Yaoniang was also in a complicated mood at the moment, but she couldn't say anything more. She could only respond to her mother's words.
Soon the mother and daughter got off the carriage.
After that, Zhou went straight to the topic and went to the Lu Mansion.
However, as soon as she arrived, the person at the door stretched out his hand to block her way.
When Mrs. Zhou saw this, she couldn't help but said loudly, "I am the wife of Shilang Zhou's family. I have something to see the old lady."
However, in response to Zhou's declaration of family status, the servants of the Lu family said, "The old lady is ill and it is not convenient to see foreigners. Please go back."
Upon hearing this, Zhou was obviously not reconciled.
"Since the old lady is sick, it is even more important for me to go see her. You see, I even brought a gift."
However, no matter what Zhou said, the servants of the Lu family just said expressionlessly, "Mrs. Zhou, I'm sorry, our old lady is sick. From today on, we will refuse all visitors. Mrs. Zhou, please come back."
Seeing that the other party had said this, Zhou didn't understand anything, but even though she understood, she couldn't pretend to understand.
So she just pretended to be stupid and said, "Just let me visit the old lady. I promise to leave after watching it."
When saying this, Mrs. Zhou even took off a jade bracelet from her hand and wanted to give it to the servant of the Lu family.
However, when the servants of the Lu family faced the jade bracelet that Zhou took off, they behaved very coldly.
"Madam, this thing is too valuable. I can't take it. You should take it back. Besides, even if I take your thing, we can't make the decision without authorization."
After hearing what the servant said so clearly, there was nothing Zhou didn't understand.
Zhou Yao's mother couldn't help but pull Zhou's hand and said, "Mom, let's go. They can't make the decision. Let's not embarrass others."
