Celebrating the Year of the Fish: A Princess is Not a Concubine[GL]

[36]

Seeing that his face was flushed, Zhou Jinyu stopped teasing him and asked him, "Then why have you stayed outside for so long? It stands to reason that you should come back and tell me immediately when you heard the news that Sister Ling is going to elope at noon. That's right, why did it take so long?"

Zhou Xiaoshan said: "I originally planned to come back immediately, but just as I was about to leave, someone knocked me out from behind."

"Did you get knocked out?" Zhou Jinyu frowned and asked him, "Did you see who hit you? Have you ever seen that person's face clearly?"

"No!" Zhou Xiaoshan said with a bitter face, "I told you that the little one was knocked out from behind, but I felt that the strength was that of a man, maybe the man who discussed elopement with Miss San! "

Zhou Jinyu patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be sad, the so-called...there is no grass in the end of the world. Of course, it's not bad for Sister Ling to find you an idiot later. I like you again maybe."

Zhou Xiaoshan: "..."

Zhou Xiaoshan likes sister Ling, but Zhou Jinyu doesn't think much about it. After all, if sister Ling's aggressive temperament is matched with Zhou Xiaoshan's dull temperament, maybe the two are a perfect match.

But she can't think so much now, if Sister Ling elopes with someone tonight, it will be a big deal, and now that she has heard the news, she is in a dilemma for a while.

Should she fulfill sister Ling, or should she be frank and talk to adults?

But Jinfeng went to check the news and hasn't returned yet. She doesn't know who the man Sister Ling is looking for, so how can she rest assured that Sister Ling will elope with him?

Thinking of this, Zhou Jinyu still felt that this matter was inappropriate.

Even if Sister Ling wants to follow that man, if she is willing to bring that man back to Zhou's house in a serious manner, let Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Liu meet, and if Mrs. Zhou is willing to nod, even if Mrs. Liu disagrees, maybe this Things will turn around.

But what are they now? Sister Ling wants to elope with a wild man?If this gets out, what will outsiders think of their Zhou family?

What outsiders think of it is second to none. The old lady Zhou must have been so sad and sad when she saw that sister Ling had grown up under her knees, and in the end the girl ran away with the wild man.

It was also in consideration of this point that Zhou Jinyu decided not to say anything at this time, and just intercept people secretly.Even if he called the dozen or so capable servants in his east courtyard and Zhou Xiaoshan led the way, he ignored Liu's warning not to let her leave the mansion, and rushed directly to the Zhou family's ancestral hall.

A group of people walked towards the ancestral hall in a mighty manner, led by Zhou Jinyu, and Zhou Xiaoshan was beside her. It was already late at night, except for a few patrols in the distance, the streets were already No more pedestrians.

The Zhou family's ancestral hall was in the old house. Later, until the Liu family said that they wanted to move the house, no one lived in the old house anymore, but because it was a place where the ancestral tablets were enshrined, there were special guards inside.

Zhou Jinyu came to the door of the old house and told the guard: "Open the door."

When the boy saw her, he naturally knew her. After all, Zhou Jinyu, the fourth youngest of the Zhou family, was given to the Guandao ancestral hall by the head of the Zhou family, the Liu family, because of many mistakes.

The servant immediately opened the door. Zhou Jinyu led a group of people in and went straight to Guan Zhou Linger's room. Zhou Jinyu stood still in front of the door. Zhou Xiaoshan had already asked for the key. The moment he opened the door, Zhou Jinyu Jinyu saw Zhou Linger kneeling on the futon, as if she didn't hear anyone coming in.

Zhou Jinyu looked around cautiously, and found that Zhou Linger was alone.

She turned around and looked at the dozen or so servants following her, and ordered: "You all go down, I have something to say to Miss San."

The servants responded in unison: "Yes, Fourth Young Master."

Zhou Jinyu looked at Zhou Xiaoshan: "You go out too."

"But son?" Zhou Xiaoshan glanced at Zhou Ling'er and then at Zhou Jinyu, feeling very embarrassed.

Zhou Jinyu glared at him: "It's none of your business here, it's up to me, you go out."

Only then did Zhou Xiaoshan arch his hands in salute, and retreated out together with the other servants.

Zhou Jinyu and the others left, and then said to Zhou Linger, who had her back turned to her: "Stop pretending, Auntie hasn't come, who are you showing this look to?"

Zhou Linger turned around and looked at Zhou Jinyu in disbelief: "You are the only one here? You didn't tell anyone else?"

Zhou Jinyu nodded: "Then why not? If your mother and grandma know that you are going to elope with someone without a conscience, it will be strange if you don't piss them off."

After hearing Zhou Jinyu's words, Zhou Ling'er finally stood up from the futon in relief, and said with a sigh of relief, "You brought all these people here to arrest me?"

Zhou Jinyu shook his head: "No, I'm here to persuade you not to leave."

Zhou Linger snorted coldly, and looked at Zhou Jinyu contemptuously: "Are you persuading me? If I leave, there will be one less person to compete with you for the Zhou family's property. Are you unhappy or not?"

Zhou Jinyu was taken aback: "What kind of family property are you fighting for? No... Sister Ling, this is how you see me?"

Zhou Ling'er said: "Isn't it? Eldest brother doesn't know where he is, and second elder brother has devoted himself to the Ministry of Industry and never cared about the Zhou family's property. If I run away from home, you will be the only one left in the Zhou family." one?"

Zhou Jinyu was very angry at her words: "You miss me so much? Have you always thought so!"

Zhou Linger nodded and admitted: "Yes."

"You you you!" Zhou Jinyu stretched out his index finger and pointed at Zhou Linger's nose: "I, I, I, I! I want to hit you!"

Zhou Linger took the initiative to put a small face in the direction of her slap: "Just hit, hit here."

Zhou Jinyu stared at her for a while, then suddenly laughed, and put his outstretched index finger on her forehead, pushing her away.

Zhou Jinyu said angrily: "I know you are trying to anger me on purpose, so that I can let you go, and I almost fell into the trap of you bastard! I'm not as good as you want!"

Seeing that she had been found out, Zhou Ling'er could only helplessly say: "It's up to you, I must leave anyway."

Zhou Jinyu said: "But, you can't leave."

Zhou Linger said unwillingly: "Do you think you can stop me? You can't stop me."

Zhou Jinyu shook his head: "No, the reason why I came here today is that Zhou Xiaoshan heard the conversation between you and that man outside the door at noon, saying that he would take you away tonight, right?"

Zhou Linger nodded hesitantly: "...Yes."

Zhou Jinyu continued: "Zhou Xiaoshan was knocked out just after listening to what he said, so the one who knocked Zhou Xiaoshan out must be the one who wants to take you away, right?"

Zhou Linger frowned: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Zhou Jinyu smiled and said: "Don't worry, listen to me. If I were that person and knew that my plan had been revealed, for the sake of convenience, I would take you away as soon as it got dark, and I would immediately make a new appointment with you." The time will definitely not be delayed until midnight. But, what time do you think it is now? He hasn't come to pick you up yet, doesn't that mean that he won't come tonight? "

Zhou Linger said unwillingly: "He will definitely come."

Zhou Jinyu laughed at her: "You told Aunt the other day that that person's origin was unknown and he just lived in Chang'an City. How long have you known him? What if he just lied to you because of your identity as the eldest lady of the Zhou family? But I didn’t expect you to elope with him without taking half of the Zhou family’s silver. I’m afraid you will frighten him. Look, sister Ling, after all, she wants to be with you with all her heart He lived a rich life, but never thought that you would go with him, no one can bear this matter on anyone's shoulders."

Zhou Ling'er blushed with anger at Zhou Jinyu's words: "Zhou Jinyu! You...don't talk nonsense!"

Zhou Jinyu smiled and said, "Am I talking nonsense, don't you already have the answer in your heart?"

Zhou Ling'er was so out of breath that she couldn't say a word.

Only then did Zhou Jinyu walk up to her, and took her hand: "Okay, don't be angry, come back with me, go back and confess your mistakes to mother, the one who loves you the most on weekdays is you, I Acknowledge your mistake, and grandma and I will help, she will definitely let you go."

Zhou Linger instinctively wanted to look out of the window, Zhou Jinyu stretched out his hand and scratched in front of her eyes: "Hey, don't look, don't look, that person won't be coming tonight, you follow me home first, if that man I really want to take you away, even if you go back to Zhou's house, he will think of a way, right?"

Even if Zhou Linger was unwilling, she could only agree in the end.

A group of people left the old house. Zhou Jinyu squinted his eyes and looked up. Through the moonlight, he saw Jinfeng stepping on the beams of the house, carefully watching every move of the old house. The two looked at each other and exchanged words. With a look, Zhou Jinyu quickly pulled Zhou Linger away.

When they returned to Zhou's house, everyone in the mansion had already fallen asleep. Zhou Jinyu asked Zhou Xiaoshan and four servants to escort Sister Ling back to her room, and at the same time told them that they didn't have to go back to the East Courtyard tonight. Outside the door of the children's room, Zhou Ling'er took turns to watch over her, so as not to let her make any troubles.

Zhou Jinyu went back to the east courtyard, drank herbal tea for several lifetimes, and then sat in the room waiting for news from Jinfeng. Within half an hour, Jinfeng really came back.

Zhou Jinyu asked him, "What did you find?"

Jin Feng said: "Back to Fourth Young Master, that man's name is Sima Ye, and he is currently living in the Caobang Wharf area."

"Sima Ye?" Zhou Jinyu raised his eyebrows and thought for a while: "It sounds familiar, but I can't remember it. Have you found out who that person is?"

Jin Feng said: "Looking at his appearance, he should be from the Western Regions, but..."

Zhou Jinyu: "Huh? But what?"

"However," Jin Feng continued, "he doesn't look like a person from the Western Regions, but he looks more like a barbarian."

Zhou Jinyu: "..."

When Jinfeng said this, she really remembered now, when she was in Baoxiang Pavilion, the man from the Western Regions who followed Xiang Nantian was called Sima Ye?

Could it be that the man who hooked up with Sister Ling was Sima Ye?

Zhou Jinyu asked Jinfeng: "Where is the person? Did you catch him?"

Jin Feng said: "Originally I caught it, but the villain was accidentally caught in his drug, so I couldn't catch it."

Zhou Jinyu asked him, "Then are you okay?"

Jin Feng shook his head: "The villain is fine, thank you Fourth Young Master for your concern."

Zhou Jinyu waved his hand, and Jinfeng withdrew.

Lying on the bed, she felt more and more unbelievable about this matter. If Sister Ling was really involved with that man from the Western Regions named Sima Ye, how did they know each other?

She and Xiang Nantian are sworn brothers, but Sister Ling and Xiang Nantian don't know each other, so it's impossible to know Sima Ye through Xiang Nantian's relationship.

Hey, go to bed first.

Tomorrow, I have to accept the little bun's apprentice ceremony...

You can't just let the little bun girl see the joke.
