Chapter Seventy-eighth: Zhou Yan gets angry
Zhou Yan put the deed in front of him and read it carefully several times. When he saw that there were no flaws, he felt relieved and handed the deed back to her.
"Others think twice about buying a store, and some still need to observe for ten and a half months. It's better for you. You can go out in the morning and buy it in the afternoon."
Zhou Yan just said that he also had some impressions of that shop. With Lin Xing on both sides, he was watching over her, so nothing would go wrong.
Lin Xing took a sip of hot tea and just smiled.
Zhao Jie pestered him to practice basic skills for a while. As soon as the two of them broke out in a sweat, a maid came to invite him: "Your Majesty, Master, it's time for dinner."
Quan Dang didn't see Lin Xing and Zhao Jie.
Lin Xing only said that it is better to do less than to do more. She was not too hungry now. The people in the Hou Mansion were complicated and she was too lazy to respond.
However, Zhao Jie had no idea and only patted her shoulder: "Mom, it's time to eat."
An almost inaudible sneer passed into Lin Xing's ears. Lin Xing subconsciously followed the sound and looked at the end of her sight. She was young, but she looked disdainful. When Lin Xing looked over, she knew it.
The contempt just now was heard by the rightful owner.
Although he felt a little guilty, he still didn't want to lower his head and just looked elsewhere.
Lin Xing frowned, thinking about what she had done in the Hou Mansion for less than an hour that even a little maid could not stand.
Zhao Jie waited for a while and saw that Lin Xing still didn't move, so he repeated it again.
Lin Xing then stood up. She looked at the expression of the little maid calmly, and saw that she was deliberately following Zhou Yan, or at worst, she was side by side with Zhao Jie, not paying attention to her at all.
After walking for a while, Zhou Yan suddenly stopped. Lin Xing and Zhao Jie stopped. Only then did they realize that Zhou Yan had arrived at the rockery in the backyard. His face was shrouded in black, and the folding fan in his hand was not open. He asked the maid: "
What's up?"
The maid raised her eyes with an innocent look: "Ah?"
"Caiqiu, I don't want to repeat it a second time."
Caiqiu was stunned, as if she had never thought of Zhou Banquet's attitude towards her. Her nose felt sore, and before she could lower her head, tears already fell.
interesting.
Lin Xing leaned against the rockery and looked at Zhou Yan with a smile.
Zhou Yan:……
He felt helpless, his face still as cold as frost: "Three."
Seeing that crying was useless, Cai Qiu wiped away her tears and muttered: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I heard some gossip while on duty in the kitchen today..."
"What words?"
"Say... the young master of the Zhao family and Mrs. Zhao are similar in age, and they behaved very close to each other. The head of the Zhao family died a few days ago. Mrs. Zhao was so young, how could she endure it..."
hiss--
There was a crisp breaking sound, and Zhou Yan actually tore the folding fan in his hand into two halves.
Zhao Jie also punched the rockery with his fist and said angrily: "It's unreasonable. My mother and I are innocent, but those people have dirty minds. Instead, they have unreasonable suspicions about my relationship with my mother!"
After saying that, Zhao Jie turned his head and stared directly at Zhou Yan: "Master!"
Zhou Yan only raised his chin, Chunmian Chunxiao pressed Caiqiu's shoulders, subdued her, and followed Zhou Yan to the main hall.
On the way, Caiqiu struggled and screamed: "Your Highness, my mother will not let you do this to me!"
Zhou Yan only sneered, and even her words seemed to be a waste of words. He looked at Lin Xing and saw that her eyes were full of inquiry, and explained: "Caiqiu is Xu Niang's daughter. Xu Niang has high prestige in the house, and she also
It's like being half a master, but don't worry about this, I will definitely seek justice for you."
Lin Xing is an outsider. She can return to her own world after completing her mission. Even now, she is a widow and does not need to get married. She has no idea about these gossips, but they are just the sour words of some envious people.
talk.
It's just that if someone can stand up for her and make a demonstration to scare the monkeys, she will be able to live better in the capital in the future.
Lin Xing nodded: "Then I'll just wait."
Seeing how short her answer was, Zhou Yan was even more certain that she was angry.
He came to the main hall and opened the door suddenly, which really surprised the people inside.
The old lady covered her chest and said, half complaining and half joking: "Ni Sun, you are trying to scare me to death!"
"Grandma, what are the rules for the servants in the mansion now?" Zhou Yan ordered someone to bring Cai Qiu up. As soon as she was thrown to the ground by Chun Mian Chunxiao, the woman beside the old lady screamed in surprise.
"Qiu'er!"
Hearing Xu Niang's words, Caiqiu trembled all over, got up from the ground, and said aggrievedly: "Mother!"
"You still feel wronged?" Zhao Jie's anger has not subsided. Seeing Caiqiu's appearance, he became even more angry. "Aren't you the one who listened to other people's slander and turned your back on me and my mother?"
"The human heart is dirty, and everything you look at is dirty. Don't you have a father? You think of me and my mother so dirty. Could it be that you are just as careless as your father?"
Zhao Jie asked Caiqiu three times in succession and silenced Caiqiu. Xu Niang could guess what trouble Caiqiu had caused, and her expression was no longer so anxious. She took a few steps forward and knelt in front of several people: "Your Highness, Caiqiu,
Qiu is young and unreasonable, so I will definitely discipline her well, but I understand Cai Qiu's temperament, so I am not trying to excuse her, but I am just cutting the grass to get rid of the roots. Cai Qiu alone cannot solve any problem."
He is a ruthless person.
After waiting for a moment, Xu Niang did not wait for Zhou Yan to answer. Her eyes fell on Cai Qiu again. She stretched out her hand, pinched Cai Qiu's arm and said, "Say!"
Caiqiu frowned in pain, and the tears that had just been stopped welled up again.
Madam Xu looked serious: "Don't cry!"
Caiqiu choked up and replied to her: "It's the nuns in the kitchen who said it."
"I think I've really spoiled you. Didn't I tell you a long time ago that you don't listen to things you shouldn't hear and don't ask questions you shouldn't ask? Even if you hear gossip, you have to learn to distinguish it yourself?
"Xu Niang frowned and was about to hit her, but the old lady stopped her.
"Okay, don't dirty my floor. Li Fuhai, call the guys in the kitchen over."
Li Fuhai took the order, but within a quarter of an hour, a group of people knelt down in the main hall.
The passers-by were brought in with bewildered expressions. When they saw Caiqiu, they all understood. They all kowtowed to Zhou Yan with fearful expressions, and some of them also looked at Caiqiu with resentment.
"Your Highness, spare your life!"
This was the first time they had seen Zhou Yan angry. At this moment, they wanted to lower their heads to the ground: "We just heard some rumors and talked nonsense while we were doing work. His Royal Highness must not take it seriously!"
There were also a few clever ones who went to hug Lin Xing's thighs, but before they could say anything, they were frightened back by Zhao Jie: "I never hit women, but those who bully my mother and I are not counted. After bullying, we still...
