Zhou Yunshu had already put down the brush in her hand when Liao Quan said that the woman's surname was Wang. She looked outside the door in surprise. Could it be that her grandmother and the others were here!
Obviously it was not just Zhou Yunshu who thought so, but Chunque also thought so.
After the two of them looked at each other in surprise, they didn't go to the backyard to say anything, but ran straight to the door, just in case the joy was in vain.
Zhou Yunshu and Chunque quickly came to the door of the house. When they saw Grandma Wang beside the carriage and Chu Qi and Chu Wu on the carriage, Zhou Yunshu's eyes heated up.
Really grandma!
Grandma Wang's eyes turned red when she saw Zhou Yunshu's slightly bulging belly, "Miss!"
Although the face was different, Grandma Wang could still recognize the person in front of her at a glance as their eldest lady. There was no mistaking her temperament and figure.
"Mommy, where is grandma?"
Zhou Yunshu looked at the carriage hopefully, and the curtain on the window slowly opened under Zhou Yunshu's gaze.
When she saw her grandmother's obviously older face, Zhou Yunshu couldn't help but shed tears, "Grandma!"
Ji Mingzhu gave a comforting smile to her granddaughter, and then got out of the carriage with the support of Grandma Wang and Chun Que.
"Grandma!" After Ji Mingzhu stood firm, Zhou Yunshu couldn't help but ran forward and rushed into her arms.
"Grandma, you are tired." Zhou Yunshu's voice was choked with sobs.
She had a lot to ask, but seeing the obvious fatigue on Ji Mingzhu's face, she still swallowed the words that were about to rush out of her throat.
"Miss."
Dong Ge got off the carriage behind him.
Zhou Yunshu glanced at her and said with a smile, "I hope you're safe."
Dongge nodded with red eyes, and Chunque followed behind their lady with their arms around each other.
Zhou Yunshu and Grandma Wang stood on the left and right of Ji Mingzhu, helping her walk to the backyard.
"Mom, second aunt, sister-in-law, come out quickly!"
As soon as she stepped into the backyard, Zhou Yunshu couldn't help shouting loudly.
Li Jialan and Wu Yue were sewing in the room. When they heard Zhou Yunshu's rare shout, they thought something had happened and immediately put down what they were doing and ran out of the room.
Also present were Fang Huiwen in the kitchen and the children in Zhou Yunjia's room.
"mother!"
"grandmother!"
When Li Jialan and Wu Yue came out of the room and saw the old woman on Zhou Yunshu's arm, they shouted in disbelief and full of surprise, and then tears rolled down their eyes.
"Mom, it's great that you're okay!" Li Jialan and Wu Yue rushed forward.
Zhou Yunjia, who hadn't seen clearly who the visitor was at first, had red eyes after his mother and aunt called out that word.
Ji Mingzhu looked at Li Jialan and the others who were kneeling in front of her and hugging her legs. She sighed, bent down slightly and patted their shoulders and said, "You are so old, stop kneeling."
Li Jialan and Wu Yue were helped up by their respective daughters-in-law, and looked at their mother-in-law with tears in their eyes.
The backbone of the family is finally back, but...
"Mom, are you okay?"
The Ji Mingzhu in front of her seemed to have suddenly aged ten years. She was thin and had an old look on her face.
This change in Ji Mingzhu shocked Zhou Yunshu and others. In their eyes, Ji Mingzhu has always been the most calm. For Ji Mingzhu to undergo such a big change in a short period of time, it must be a big deal, and they may not be able to bear it. big event.
Grandma Wang turned her face away slightly, but she still couldn't help but shed tears. Zhou Yunshu couldn't help but feel a little thump in her heart when she noticed this little action of Grandma Wang.
Something must have happened that she didn't know about, or something bad.
"It's okay, go to the room." Ji Mingzhu's voice was gentle, "I'm getting older, and I feel tired even if I stand for a while."
As soon as Li Jialan and Wu Yue heard that Ji Mingzhu said she was tired, they immediately gave up a place. They stood beside Ji Mingzhu and carefully helped Ji Mingzhu to the main room.
Zhou Yunshu took a step behind, looked at Grandma Wang who was following her grandmother closely, and said to Chunque beside her: "Go and invite old doctor Xue."
"yes."
In the main room, Li Jialan and Wu Yue helped Ji Mingzhu sit on the main seat. Fang Huiwen put a cup of red date and ginger tea in Ji Mingzhu's hand. Wu Gui held the children and stood aside honestly.
"Mom, do you want to go back to your room and rest for a while after a long journey?" Li Jialan asked when she saw that Ji Mingzhu still looked tired after sitting down.
Ji Mingzhu shook her head, looked at Zhou Yunshu who had been standing next to her and said, "Shu'er, sit down."
"You all sit down."
Li Jialan and Wu Yue tacitly agreed to leave the seat closest to Ji Mingzhu to Zhou Yunshu, and then sat in other seats.
Ji Mingzhu held her head with one hand and seemed to have a headache, but she still resisted and looked at Zhou Yunjia who was standing next to her.
"Yunjia."
"Grandma!" Zhou Yunjia immediately came to Ji Mingzhu, knelt on the ground and held her hand, "Grandma, I'm here."
Ji Mingzhu smiled and touched Zhou Yunjia's hair, "From now on, you have to shoulder the burden of the second wife, you know?"
After Ji Mingzhu finished speaking, Wu Yue, who was sitting aside, opened her eyes like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, "Mother!"
Ji Mingzhu put her hand down from the stunned Zhou Yunjia's head, looked at Wu Yue who stood up next to her and said, "I went to identify the bodies of Jianzhi and Yunkun."
The trace of luck in her heart disappeared, and the cry of collapse suddenly broke out, but Ji Mingzhu looked at Wu Gui holding Yuan Ruo beside her, "Yun Hai was seriously injured and fell off the cliff."
There was little hope of survival.
She looked back at Zhou Yunjia, who was kneeling in front of her, "Yunjia, the second wife will depend on you from now on, you have to shoulder the responsibility, you know?"
Zhou Yunjia cried so hard that he couldn't make a sound. Ji Mingzhu exhaled a deep breath and patted his shoulder.
Even though they had known about the death of their man in the battle before, they had always been holding on to a sense of luck. Fortunately, they might have escaped. The news of the death of the man in the battle was false, and the news from the north was also false.
Otherwise, my sister-in-law would not go to the north alone, and my mother-in-law would not be calm and composed.
But Ji Mingzhu's words today broke all the luck in their hearts, and put the facts in front of them bloody.
Wu Gui put her arms around her mother-in-law's shoulders. Yuan Ruo was frightened by her grandmother's cry. Her eyes turned red and her mouth flattened, and she started crying too.
Li Jialan didn't dare to raise her head after Ji Mingzhu told the news that the man in the second room had died in the battle, as if as long as she didn't raise her head and didn't look at her mother-in-law, their first room could escape.
"Jianzhang is gone too. Yunzhi was dragged to Tiele. When he was rescued, he lost an eye and had both legs chopped off." Ji Mingzhu seemed a little cold and gathered her clothes, her voice was hoarse. He continued: "But at least one life was left."
Suppressed cries sounded, and Fang Huiwen fainted and fell to the ground. Yuanli and Yuanyi were so frightened that they rushed forward and shouted: "Mother!"
