The glory and wealth of Aunt Cai and others all depended on Duke Zhou. Now that something happened to Duke Zhou, they naturally felt as if the sky was falling. They could only hope that Duke Zhou would recover soon.
But it is a pity that this is ancient times and not modern times. Zhou Guogong’s broken leg would not be better without modern bone-setting technology.
He didn't die due to the inflammation of the wound. Linlang felt comfortable that something had happened to him and she didn't need to take action personally, so she gave him some anti-inflammatory medicine to save him. Otherwise, there would be no Duke Zhou Guogong at this moment.
Although he was rescued, he could not move his leg and could only use a wheelchair or a cane. Such a Duke of Zhou would definitely not be able to go to court, because court ministers like this would usually have retired to official positions. Even if the emperor wanted to stay and Zhou Guogong didn't want to lose his position, the eldest prince and his family would tell him to go home. On the contrary, it would look better if he took the initiative to become an official instead of rushing back.
Duke Zhou was not a fool, so he immediately took the initiative to become an official. The emperor tried to persuade him to stay, but when he saw that he could not be persuaded, he had no choice but to let him go home.
In fact, Zhou Guogong's mood was contradictory.
Of course he wanted to be an official in the court, which would have more status, but he also knew the plight of the Zhou family. At this time, if something like this happened, it was actually not a bad thing for the Zhou family.
But, even if he comes back, he doesn't want to come back like this, because who wants to be disabled?
But he didn't want to think about how he would have come back if it hadn't been for this accident. After all, he wanted to be well. Even if he wanted to become an official, the emperor wouldn't let him.
In fact, Zhou Guogong is doing well like this. If Linlang takes action, he may lie down directly. Although he has lost a leg now, he can still move in a wheelchair or with a cane, which is better than lying on the bed.
However, after the accident, Zhou Guogong usually stayed in his yard and did not run around.
He used to be an aristocratic son, and he cared about face the most. This was evident from the fact that he asked to restore the treatment of Aunt Cai and others for the sake of face. A man who cared about face had a lame leg. Naturally, he did not want to appear in front of others and be seen. He looked like he was on crutches or even in a wheelchair.
Because he didn't want others to see his bad appearance, Zhou Guogong closed the door to thank guests and stayed in his courtyard all day.
Linlang was happy to see this situation, because she didn't want to see Duke Zhou no longer going to court and just gesticulating around the house. It was just right for him to hide in his courtyard and stay still.
Because something happened to Duke Zhou, the safety of the Zhou family was guaranteed, so Linlang did not withdraw the treatment from Aunt Cai and others. After all, she had withdrawn it before, just to test Zhou Guogong's attitude and see if he would recover from the stroke. Go home and lie down. Since the other person has gone home and lie down, don't continue to stimulate the other person, lest the person loses his official position and the family loses the right to speak, and they will fight back wildly.
Although for her, Zhou Guogong's thrash was easy to solve, as long as it was physically eliminated, but for the sake of the Zhou family being fine, she didn't bother.
Because Linlang just wanted to deal with Zhou Guogong and make the Zhou family safe, not to fight with Zhou Guogong. After all, once the Zhou family was safe, she could sit back and relax, so why should she quarrel with him? The two of them had to live their own lives. .
And Duke Zhou's behavior was a huge blow to Aunt Cui and others. There was no other reason. Since Duke Zhou was a good-faced person, and now he was like this, he naturally didn't want to see Aunt Cui and others again, and let them see his vulnerability and helplessness. one side.
Moreover, he has problems in his own life now. After all, he has been injured for a hundred days. Even if a hundred days have passed, he will still be in pain. He has to recover slowly, so he will not be in a romantic mood.
Since they are no longer in the mood for romance, Aunt Cui and others cannot see him, so they will not get any benefits, which naturally makes them feel uncomfortable.
However, they never thought about taking care of Duke Zhou, because Duke Zhou's legs were not healed yet and he had to lie in bed. Taking care of him was very tiring, and they didn't want to be so tired.
Fortunately, Zhou Guogong didn't want them to see him pitiful like this, and he just didn't let them take care of him.
He didn't let Aunt Cai and others take care of him, and naturally he didn't let Linlang take care of him. After all, he had been unhappy with Linlang before. Now he was unlucky, and he wouldn't let Linlang come to take care of him. Seeing how depressed he was, then Embarrassing him.
Linlang heard Zhou Guogong say that she didn't need to go to see him every day, as long as he had servants to serve him, so she obeyed. After all, she was happy and relaxed.
After Zhou Guogong's accident, his mother's family got close to the Zhou family again. After all, the head of the Zhou family was like this. Obviously, nothing would happen in the future. In this case, there was no need for them to continue to be estranged.
In fact, many families began to alienate the Zhou family before. Now that something happened to Duke Zhou, those families who were alienated from the Zhou family began to get close to the Zhou family again. After all, as long as nothing happens to the Zhou family, they are the Queen Mother's natal family, and the emperor also values the family. , who would despise the Zhou family? They were alienated before, just because they were afraid that something would happen to the Zhou family in the future, so as not to implicate their own family's self-protection behavior. It was not that they had any objection to the Zhou family.
In addition, something happened to Duke Zhou. When the Queen Mother heard about it, she felt very sorry for her nephew and gave him a lot of precious medicinal materials. She was also worried that the Duke's government would not have much money, so she gave him a lot of money.
Needless to say, the emperor had always had a good relationship with Zhou Guogong. Seeing that he was so unlucky, he naturally gave him a lot of things.
The emperor and the queen mother set an example, and other empresses and princes in the palace also expressed their opinions.
I have to say that something happened to Duke Zhou, which was not a bad thing for the Zhou family. Not only was the crisis resolved, but he also gained sympathy from the Queen Mother, the Emperor and others, and made a fortune.
Maybe it was a bad thing for Duke Zhou himself, Aunt Cui and others.
Especially Aunt Cui, Aunt Cai and others.
In the past, when Duke Zhou was good, if someone treated them badly, they could immediately complain to Duke Zhou and ask him to support them. Because they were given by the emperor, Duke Zhou took a high look at them, so every time they complained, it would be useful.
Now that they can't see Zhou Guogong, they feel wronged. They can't complain to Zhou Guogong, so they can only swallow their anger.
People are all at their wits' end.
Even if Linlang didn't intentionally give any orders, everyone saw the conflict between Aunt Cai, Cui and Linlang. Now that Duke Zhou has fallen, naturally there will be people who help Linlang deal with the two of them without Linlang's orders. .
The reason why some people do this is because they know that Zhou Guogong has encountered such a catastrophe this time, and they are afraid that it will affect his life span.
When Duke Zhou passes away, who will everyone live under? Aren’t they the prince, his wife, and his wife? And these people can't deal with Aunt Cai and others, so seeing that Zhou Guogong is dying, they naturally have to think of new ways to embrace him.
How to hold him? They didn't dare to do anything to Zhou Guogong, so naturally they had no choice but to trouble Aunt Cai and others to submit their names.
