Yunchu approached step by step.
She lowered her head slightly and leaned close to Mrs. Zou's ear: "Mrs. Zou, when you go to bed at night, will the daughter you strangled to death come back to you?"
Mrs. Zou's face suddenly lost all color.
Her lips trembled involuntarily: "You, what are you talking nonsense about?"
"Mrs. Zou, what are you pretending to be in front of me?" Yun Chu smiled, "The eldest son of the Zou family should be the fourth young lady of the Zou family, right or not?"
This matter was revealed about seven or eight years ago in my previous life, and it caused a turmoil in the capital.
The eldest son of the Zou family turned out to be not a bloodline of the Zou family. He was the replacement son brought by a peasant woman after Mrs. Zou strangled her fourth daughter to death.
She lost a son and a daughter.
But some people can strangle their own blood.
At that time, she sighed for a long time.
"you you you……"
Mrs. Zou pointed at Yun Chu, her throat seemed to be pinched and she couldn't say a word.
Yun Chu finally took time to sit on the chair: "How could I tell such a big secret so easily? Mrs. Zou, you know what to do."
Mrs. Zou gritted her teeth: "Yunchu, do you really want to fight against my Zou family for a bastard?"
"You are wrong." Yun Chu picked up the tea brought by Qiu Tong and took a sip before saying, "If I tell Master Zou about this, the Zou family will thank me."
The women next to them didn't know what the two of them were talking about, and they all looked suspicious.
A few were ready to come forward and listen.
Mrs. Zou tensed up, took a deep breath and said: "Miss Yun, I was wrong just now. I shouldn't have let the maid attract your son to this yard, let alone let the maid lock up that house, let alone Let someone let the mice in..."
Yun Chu's heart sank.
She thought the mice were already in the house, but she didn't expect that they were put there artificially.
Think about it, how can a person who can strangle his own daughter to death pity other people's children...
"It's true that I did something wrong in this matter." Mrs. Zou lowered her head, "We have known each other since childhood. I was just joking and accidentally went too far. Miss Yun, I'm sorry, that's all. Alright."
"Mrs. Zou's apology is too insincere." Yun Chu shook his head, "Mrs. Zou should also be allowed to experience what it is like to be locked in a room with mice..."
Mrs. Zou was so frightened that she felt numb.
Rats were so disgusting that she couldn't even imagine such a scene.
She gritted her teeth and slapped herself in the face cruelly: "Is this okay? Have you calmed down?"
The women behind her were all stunned.
They and Mrs. Zou have similar family backgrounds, and usually form a small circle of their own. They know very well what kind of person Mrs. Zou is.
Such a face-conscious person actually slapped himself in front of Yun Chu?
What did Yun Chu say to make Mrs. Zou so humble?
The expressions of these women changed.
When Mrs. Zou saw that Yun Chu was silent, she could only slap herself a few more times.
A face smeared with makeup and powder was slapped red.
"Why did Mrs. Zou slap herself?" After she stopped, Yun Chu said, "I can't afford such sincerity."
Mrs. Zou’s hand paused.
She had been slapped so many times, and this bitch just said he couldn't afford it and deliberately tormented her, right?
But she didn't dare to say a word, because the biggest leverage in her life was in Yun Chu's hands...
"What do you want?"
Mrs. Zou gritted her teeth and forced out a sentence.
Yun Chu smiled: "Between adults, we only care about interests."
"You!" Mrs. Zou's anger came up slowly, and she suppressed it again. She took off the hairpin on her head, the ring ring and bracelet on her hand, "These are just to suppress Master Xie's shock."
Yun Chu tugged his lips, stood up, and walked out.
Mrs. Zou knows.
If she didn't tear off a piece of flesh from her body, this matter wouldn't be easy to get over.
"I have a dowry villager outside the city, with an annual profit of more than one thousand taels of silver." Mrs. Zou's heart seemed to be bleeding. "I will send it to Miss Yun tomorrow... No, I will send it to Miss Yun tonight."
"Mrs. Zou, you're welcome." Yun Chu patted the other party's shoulder, "I know that Mrs. Zou was just joking with the child, so let's let this matter go."
After she finished speaking, she took the maid out of the yard.
Mrs. Zou was so angry that her facial features were distorted, and she wanted to eat Yun Chu alive.
Several women gathered around.
"What's the matter?"
"Why did you apologize to her? The Yun family has collapsed, why should you be afraid of her?"
"Are you crazy for giving a Zhuangzi out?"
Mrs. Zou was so angry that her head was spinning: "Yes, yes, I am just crazy!"
She pushed away the crowd and ran away.
When Yunchu returned to the yard, he saw Chu Hongyu sitting in the yard playing with the butterflies he had caught, having a great time.
She couldn't help but shook her head. This silly boy could still play so enthusiastically because the butterfly was frightened.
She walked over and sat down next to the child.
"Mom, you're here." Chu Hongyu pointed at the butterflies in the jar and said, "There are so many butterflies, which one does mom like best?"
"This white one is very good." Yunchu pinched the butterfly's wings, "I'll take all these butterflies back later and keep them in the flowerbed in the yard, okay?"
The little guy nodded immediately.
"Brother Yu, we all have to learn a lesson from what happened today." She continued, "I shouldn't have let you play alone. This was my negligence as a mother. You should also remember it and don't believe it easily. Any stranger."
Chu Hongyu lowered his head: "I know, mother, and I will never do it again in the future."
Yunchu touched his head.
After Chu Changsheng woke up, the mother and son headed back home.
The carriage drove back to Yulin Lane.
Dinner in the house has been prepared. The two children finished their meals and then went about their own business. Chu Hongyu was reading obediently in the study, and Chu Changsheng followed Yun Chu in reading the Three Character Classic.
As soon as the sky darkened, Tingxue walked in and handed over a land deed: "Mrs. Zou arranged for someone to deliver it."
Yun Chu took a look and found that this village was not too remote and occupied a large area. The profit of one thousand taels a year was indeed true.
Mrs. Zou has already paid the price, so she will not meddle in other people's business.
Asking Tingxue to put away the land deed, she took her two children to wash up, and then put her arms around them to put them to sleep.
This time of day is the most relaxing time. She either sings or tells stories, and feels the two children slowly falling asleep in her arms. This process is beautiful.
After the two children fell asleep, she gently covered them with quilts and couldn't help but kiss the two children on the face.
I am really grateful to King Ping Xi, thank him for raising the children so big, thank him for being willing to let the children live with her, and there is no need to calculate anything anymore...
Thinking of this, Yun Chu frowned.
During the day, King Ping Xi and Program went to suppress bandits, not far from the outskirts of Beijing. Why haven't they returned yet at this time?
She put on a coat, walked to the door, and knocked, but there was no response.
