However, in the face of such remarks that are obviously beneficial to oneself.
This time, Xu Tianyi immediately denied, "That won't work!"
Hearing his words, not only Lu Zhizhang, but also Zhou Yaoniang couldn't help but cast doubtful eyes on him.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Xu Tianyi finally seemed to feel a little embarrassed. He murmured in a low voice, "I think we can't leave our mother alone. If we go back to our hometown, what will our mother do? Do we really have to leave her alone?"
Hearing Xu Tianyi's words, Zhou Yaoniang nodded happily, "It's rare for God to have such affection for you. That's right, let alone you. Even I can't bear to let my mother go to that far away place alone."
After the words fell, Zhou Yaoniang seemed to be trying to show her good will. She then only said, "But God's will, don't worry. After I rescue my mother, I will definitely follow you back to your hometown. By then, we will go there without any worries." How about happy days?"
Hearing Zhou Yaoniang's suggestion, Xu Tianyi's answer was obviously a little vague, "This matter is not urgent. Let's see how mother's matter is resolved first."
Xu Tianyi's attitude made Lu Zhizhang feel a little strange. This boy's attitude didn't seem like he was worried about Zhou Yaoniang's mother, but rather like he didn't want to go back to his hometown.
But in the end, this was just someone else's private matter, and Lu Zhizhang didn't feel the need to get involved.
And he himself has too much time to take care of himself.
A Yunzhou prefect case, searching for Zhu Ibis Zhi was enough for him to be overwhelmed.
Nowadays, the murder case of Zhou Mansion's maid is also unraveling little by little.
How can I still think about doing something unpleasant for myself?
I don't want him to not make trouble, but someone is looking for trouble for him.
Xu Tianyi didn't know when, but he seemed to think of Lu Zhizhang, so he immediately turned to look at Lu Zhizhang and said, "Master Lu, you are an old man in the officialdom. We don't need you to do anything. Do you think you can save Yaoniang's mother?" Can you show us a clear path?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhizhang immediately waved his hands, "I'm afraid I can't be of much help in this matter. But the person who ties the bell needs to be untied. If you please the person who ties the bell, you may have a chance of rescuing your mother."
Hearing Lu Zhizhang's words, Zhou Yaoniang couldn't help but ask, "What does Qiu Shangshu like?"
Hearing Zhou Yaoniang's words, Xu Tianyi couldn't help but interrupt, "You are so stupid. You still don't know what Qiu Shangshu likes?"
Zhou Yaoniang just shook her head when she heard this.
She really didn't know what Qiu Shangshu liked.
Xu Tianyi then took it for granted and said, "Don't all men like handsome horses, BMWs, gold and silver beauties? We can give these as gifts."
Hearing Xu Tianyi's words, Lu Zhizhang couldn't help but said, "Although most men like these things, I'm afraid Shangshu Qiu doesn't lack them at all, and he has a big relationship with your father. Your father still has You personally sent him to prison, and his career as an official was about to end at the hands of your father, so this time your father was defeated and your father was eventually sentenced to exile. In fact, this final sentence also had something to do with him."
Regarding Lu Zhizhang's information, Xu Tianyi couldn't help but immediately said, "If that's the case, then compared to revenge, these things are really not worth mentioning."
Then he murmured, "No wonder your mother told us to leave her alone. It seems she knew our trip would be in vain."
Yaoniang remained silent after hearing this.
After Lu Zhizhang said this to Yaoniang, he also left.
He thought for a while and finally went to Zhou's Mansion. At this time, the door of Zhou's Mansion was closed and it was deserted.
Not even a bird has entered their house.
Lu Zhizhang came to the door and showed his token to a guard before he had time to explain his purpose.
Unexpectedly, the door of Zhou Mansion was opened immediately.
Then Lu Zhizhang met a large group of people unexpectedly. The group of people obviously did not expect that they would bump into Lu Zhizhang, but after a brief surprise, they obviously quickly remembered who this person was.
The first person to speak was actually Zhou Ruyu, the daughter of Uncle Zhou's family.
people! "
After saying this, she looked at Lu Zhizhang with affectionate eyes.
However, this was obviously not the time for flirting. As soon as Zhou Ruyu finished speaking, the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion immediately said breathlessly to Lu Zhizhang, "Master Lu! Master Lu, these people are robbing my master of the only property left at home." , I still want to escape from here, and I would like to ask Mr. Lu to make the decision for my master."
Upon hearing this, the eldest aunt of the Zhou family immediately looked very embarrassed.
"Why are you robbing your master's property? Zhou Shilang has been exiled now. Your wife doesn't know what the situation is. We are all Zhou Shilang's relatives after all. There is nothing we can't take!" the eldest aunt of the Zhou family said confidently. .
However, after hearing what the eldest aunt of the Zhou family said, Lu Zhizhang couldn't help but remind her, "Auntie of the Zhou family, can I say one more word?"
The eldest aunt of the Zhou family glanced at the young man and said, "Say."
Seeing that the other party finally allowed himself to speak, Lu Zhizhang then whispered, "First of all, Zhou Shilang is not dead, he is just exiled. The case of Mrs. Zhou's has not been finalized yet. She is only temporarily detained in prison, so for the mother of this family, It’s not considered an ownerless home, and besides, they have a daughter, so if that doesn’t work, her daughter will take charge of everything on their behalf.”
After hearing what Lu Zhizhang said, the eldest aunt of the Zhou family immediately said, "You mean to let that damn girl manage everything in this family?"
"Mr. Lu, I'm not telling you how a little girl like her can keep this up. And since she's married to Xu Tianyi, she belongs to the Xu family. How can a foreigner have the nerve to come back to manage the family's property?"
Lu Zhizhang didn't speak. He just turned to look at the housekeeper of Zhou's house and said, "Butler, what do you think of this matter?"
The housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion immediately said, "That's nonsense. Even if the young lady gets married, she will still belong to my Zhou family!"
The eldest aunt of the Zhou family wanted to speak again after hearing this, but the eldest uncle of the Zhou family seemed to be unable to listen anymore. He immediately scolded the eldest aunt of the Zhou family in a low voice, "If you can't speak, don't speak."
The words fell. The eldest uncle of the Zhou family then immediately looked at Lu Zhizhang and explained with a smile, "Of course Yaoniang is my Zhou family, we think so too."
Upon hearing what the eldest uncle of the Zhou family said, the housekeeper of the Zhou family immediately said, "Then since you agree that Yaoniang is my Zhou family, why do you still steal the property of our Zhou family?"
Upon hearing this, Zheng, the second daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, immediately said, "Steward, what you said is an injustice to us. We are all a family, how can we say that we are stealing the property of the Zhou family? We are keeping it for you." That's right, after all, Mrs. Zhou is not here now, and neither is Mr. Zhou. It would be a pity if these things cannot be saved. When the master comes back, we will naturally return them to their original owners!"
Upon hearing what Zheng said, the rest of the Zhou family immediately agreed, "Yes, that's what we mean."
However, these words obviously did not deceive the steward of the Zhou Mansion at all, but the steward of the Zhou Mansion could not say anything to refute, so he could only tremble with anger.
As soon as Mrs. Zheng saw that she had coaxed the steward of the Zhou Mansion, she was ready to leave.
However, Lu Zhizhang said to Zheng at this moment, "Third Madam, I also have something to ask you. I wonder if I can ask you?"
Although Zheng didn't want to hear what Lu Zhizhang said, after all, she could tell that Lu Zhizhang didn't have anything nice to say. He was basically helping the Zhou Mansion manage affairs.
But this was a high official after all, and she couldn't offend him easily, so she just whispered, "Sir, please tell me."
Seeing what Zheng said, Lu Zhizhang also whispered, "May I ask where these people carrying big and small bags are going on the carriage?"
Zheng said in a low voice, "When we go back to our hometown, we also thought that we should go back and see it after leaving our hometown for a long time."
"Since you are going back for a visit, why are you taking the property of Zhou Mansion back to your hometown?" Lu Zhizhang's question was indeed as sharp as ever.
Zhou Ruyu didn't know whether it was because she had a brain twitch or something. After hearing what Lu Zhizhang said, she immediately spoke for Lu Zhizhang and said, "Master Lu is indeed a smart man. This sentence quickly got to the point."
Hearing Zhou Ruyu's compliment, Lu Zhizhang only thought this little woman was a little funny.
So he just chuckled when he heard this.
It's funny to think that during the days when Jiang Nianjiao was not in the capital, he would actually regard Zhou Ruyu as someone who is somewhat similar to Jiang Nianjiao. However, now that they are compared, it is obvious that the two are not alike. I was wrong.
After hearing what Zhou Ruyu said, the eldest aunt of the Zhou family couldn't help but immediately hit her daughter. She said dissatisfiedly, "You damn girl, who are you in the same family with?"
After being scolded by her mother, Zhou Ruyu said nothing, but she still winked at Lu Zhizhang mischievously.
Unfortunately, when she blinked, Lu Zhizhang had already turned his head.
Zhou Ruyu's charming eyes were in vain.
At this time, the steward of the Zhou Mansion immediately said, "My lord, these people saw that my master was now exiled and his wife was imprisoned. They set their sights on the Zhou family's property, and they wanted to loot it all, but they They don’t want to stay in the capital, because they heard that the master and his wife have offended a certain ***, and they don’t want to be implicated. That’s why they want to leave.”
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zheng immediately said, "You are talking nonsense!"
The manager was also polite and said, "I'm talking nonsense. Please see if what you are doing is my nonsense or yours."
When Lu Zhizhang saw them, they started to fight over this matter.
He was not here to handle this kind of dispute for them.
So when Lu Zhizhang only interrupted their war of words.
"Okay! Stop arguing, how about I make a suggestion?"
Hearing Lu Zhizhang's words, Zheng only said, "Your proposal is just biased towards Zhou."
Hearing this, Lu Zhizhang only asked Zheng, "Then what do you think I should do to avoid being partial to one person? Or should I let my wife take everything away so that I am not partial?"
Although Ms. Zheng thought it was true, she still wanted to be shameless. She just said angrily, "I didn't say that."
