New widow

Chapter 434 Waiting

Aunt Li rolled her eyes at Zhou Le: "You clearly know why I'm worried, but you still blame me. Look, you are the worst at this moment."

"Mommy, you praised me for being the best at learning rules and the most generous person." Zhou Le's words made everyone laugh. Suqiao also laughed. Parents of their daughter always want to marry her at a certain time. Otherwise, what will happen to her? But Su Qiao also knows that such things cannot be rushed. Moreover, everyone has their own fate. When the time comes, it will depend on where their fate is and what kind of person can match them.

The day of Liu Lanhua's wedding was set, and Liu Lanhua was in the house, doing some needlework that a newlywed mother should do. News also came from the post house that people from the Zhou family came here, and the people who came, Not as Zhou Le expected, it was Zhou Le's father, Zhou Qing, who is now a member of the Ministry of Works.

Wan Dequan had found out the news and told Su Qiao. After Su Qiao and Zhou Le heard this, Zhou Le already laughed: "Sure enough, this dead daughter is more important than the living daughter."

"Don't say that." Su Qiao patted Zhou Le's hand. At this moment, Zhou Le still had resentment in his heart, so he could express his resentment to his father. When he no longer resented his father, he would naturally have no such complaints.

"Anyway, in the eyes of the world, his daughter is already dead." Zhou Le continued: "I just don't know how he can seek justice for me at this moment, or whether he can get some benefits from it."

Zhou Le now understood that despite his grandfather and father, who kept saying they were loyal to the emperor and doing good things for the people of Li, in the end, what happened?

Everyone has to weigh the pros and cons.

When the news of his death spread, my father was unwilling to come, naturally because there was no profit to be made. I am here now because the one who hurt people is the young master of Shangshu Mansion, so we can see if we can get some benefits from this. Su Qiao knew that Zhou Le had resentment in her heart, so naturally she would not persuade her. After all, it was up to Zhou Le to figure things out by herself.

When Zhou Qing entered the post house, all the gentry in the city naturally knew about it, so they came to pay their respects. However, Zhou Qing did not see anyone else and only invited Su Du in. Everyone also knew that Zhou Qing was still Su Du's. My father-in-law didn't feel dissatisfied because of this.

Su Du entered the room and saw Zhou Qing sitting there. Su Du wanted to salute Zhou Qing regardless of business or private matters, so Su Du took a few steps forward and knelt down to salute Zhou Qing: "I have met Mr. Zhou. "

Zhou Qing did not ask Su Du to get up, but just sat there and looked at Su Du. Su Du guessed that Zhou Qing must have something to say to him, so Su Du just knelt there.

After a while, Zhou Qing sighed: "I don't know whether I should return the gift to you or not."

If Su Du met his father-in-law, Zhou Qing would naturally have no reason to return the favor, but if Su Du met Shangguan, then Zhou Qing would have to return the favor. Therefore, Su Du said respectfully: "My brother is thinking of me wholeheartedly about breaking off the engagement. I am my younger brother, so naturally I can't object. However, this matter is indeed something that is wrong with our family."

Zhou Qing then looked at Su Du: "At this moment, do you want to return the gift to me, or not?"

Su Du woke up and hurriedly saluted Zhou Qing again: "My son-in-law meets my father-in-law."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Zhou Qing said several times in succession

With good words, he helped Su Du up and said, "You and I, our husband-in-law, can be considered as meeting each other today." After saying this, Zhou Qing looked at Su Du's face and sighed: "It's a pity, my daughter looks so good like this." But there is no blessing." Zhou Qing shed a few tears as he spoke.

Su Du guessed in his mind, and then helped Zhou Qing sit down: "Father-in-law, please sit down. This matter is actually my son-in-law's fault."

"What's your fault?" Zhou Qing asked, and Su Du said respectfully: "I don't know when and where my son-in-law offended that prince. The prince wanted to make me look bad, so he conspired with others and kidnapped me. Your beloved."

"Is that so?" Zhou Qing asked back, and Su Du said softly, "That's true. It was already found out that day."

Zhou Qing's hands were clenched into fists: "Are you trying to deceive me that there is no one in the Zhou family?" Su Du felt relieved after hearing this sentence. After all, what Su Du wanted was the prince's life, and he wanted to do it with dignity. Ming Zhengdian punishment determined by the government. Rather than what Wang Shangshu thought, he took Prince Wang out of prison and killed him quietly to give an explanation to the Zhou family.

"I'm afraid the whole world will know about this now." Su Du said this deliberately, and Zhou Qing sneered: "The whole world knows about it, so I'm not afraid either."

"But son-in-law..." Su Du's tone became hesitant, and Zhou Qing looked at him: "I understand, you must be afraid that your reputation will be ruined. What's the point? Why should a man worry about not having a wife?"

"Yes!" Su Du was still respectful. At this time, reports came from outside and Wang Shangshu arrived.

Zhou Qing put down the tea bowl: "Didn't you see? I'm talking to my son-in-law right now, and no one is coming." The servants hurried out to block the traffic.

went.

Then Zhou Qingcai said something else to Su Du. Su Du naturally knew how to deal with such an elder. Zhou Qing smiled after saying a few words, but Wang Shangshu outside was blocked from driving, and his expression suddenly became ugly.

The letters that came back all said that the prince had gone too far this time, and asked Wang Shangshu to discuss it with the Zhou family. Maybe the prince would not have to go to court and die in prison, which would be considered a loss of face to the Wang family.

Wang Shangshu knew that this was the best result, but he still had some hope in his heart. He hoped that the Zhou family could allow the prince to be released from prison for the sake of being an official in the same dynasty in the past, and all those mistakes were blamed on on others. After all, those people were all his servants and servants, and they were supposed to die serving the prince.

When I heard that Zhou Qing was coming, I rushed to see him. I wanted to persuade Zhou Qing, but who knew he was blocked from driving, and the matter would not be easy.

Wang Shangshu's face looked ugly, and the butler beside him did not dare to say anything, but said very carefully: "Then, shall we go back?"

"What are you going back for? Wait here!" Wang Shangshu said coldly. The housekeeper hurriedly responded and gave Wang Shangshu another hand stove, and then waited by the sedan chair.

The weather this year is also a bit weird. Spring has already come before the Lantern Festival. It is supposed to be the time when the spring breeze blows and everything freezes, but who knows that a cold wind came earlier, and the river suddenly froze solid again. The wind hadn't dissipated yet, and it actually started to blow small snow beads.

Wang Shangshu was sitting in the warm sedan chair, with a hand stove in his hand and thick clothes on his body. He was not cold at all. The bearers could also hide in the leeward place, but the housekeeper could not.

To avoid it, you can only stand by the sedan chair and wait.
