"It's incredible, it's incredible! Madam, the general brought a country woman from the south of the Yangtze River to Beijing!"

The mansion of General Zhou was in a state of turmoil. The wife of the second wife of the Zhou family brought her own girl to the front of the mistress, causing mistress Fang to have a headache.

"Madam, you don't care! Why does the general have to ask for your permission if a woman from outside enters the house? Isn't it a slap in the face of your mistress to bring people in like this without saying a word?"

"Aunt Gu! You are an elder after all, how can you talk nonsense in front of juniors!"

Mrs. Fang frowned slightly, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed softly. Aunt Chen who was waiting at the side quickly stepped forward to help her breathe.

Aunt Chen secretly glared at Aunt Gu and said, "Aunt Gu, Madam has been feeling unwell these past few days. Please don't use such nonsense to irritate her."

"I'm not lying! Now everyone in the capital knows that the general went out to fight and brought back a woman. The woman also brought a girl about the same age as my family. How can this be a good thing!"

As Aunt Gu spoke, she pushed her daughter out as a shield. Poor Zhou Yichen didn't know what to do and had to accept Fang's resentful look, so he shrank behind his mother in fright.

Mrs. Fang didn't want to pay attention to her nonsense, so she simply lowered her head to drink tea without looking at her, hoping that she would become self-aware. But this Aunt Gu was still unwilling to give up.

Just kidding, of course she couldn't let this new woman into the house, let alone an older one with a younger one! Originally, she and her daughter were looked down upon everywhere in the Zhou Mansion. If she let that woman into the house again, they would be separated.

With General Zhou's favor, she really had nothing.

She would take ten thousand steps back, even if it was not for herself, she would still give it a try for her daughter Zhou Yichen.

"Madam, you are really kind-hearted. When I first entered the house, you didn't say a word. Now that a woman who is not even a concubine wants to enter the house, you are still so generous. You are indeed qualified as a mistress.

." Aunt Gu said angrily.

Mrs. Fang was so angry that her hand holding the tea cup was shaking, but Aunt Gu seemed to have done it on purpose and did not show any intention of flinching.

Aunt Chen, who was waiting at the side, saw this and wanted to admonish her, but before she could say anything, Zhou Yuwan walked in.

"Chang Jing pays his respects to his mother. I have met Aunt Gu."

Zhou Yuwan saluted the two elders very politely, and then stood still in a very polite manner.

Mrs. Fang saw that the fire that her daughter had just been holding in her heart immediately disappeared. With a smile in her eyes, she waved to Zhou Yuwan.

Zhou Yuwan walked up to her mother in small steps, knelt down and put her hands on her knees.

"Have you done all the things you were asked to do properly?"

"Don't worry, mother. The daughter of Huichunyuan in the east wing has been taken care of. She can move in when Aunt Qing and her new sister come into the house."

Mrs. Fang nodded with satisfaction, and Aunt Gu in the hall couldn't sit still at all.

"I thought that Madam, the best you could do was endure the humiliation and turn a blind eye. I didn't expect that you already knew that the village woman was going to enter the house, and actually asked Chang Jing to arrange it!"

Zhou Yuwan turned to look at Aunt Gu and said softly: "Aunt Gu, don't worry, your yard is separated from Aunt Qing's by Jingfang Pavilion, so it won't disturb you and my second sister."

"Changjing, that's not what I meant."

"Okay Aunt Gu, there must be a reason why my father brought Aunt Qing all the way to the capital. We can't ask any more questions. Visitors are just guests, and you are also an elder in the house, so why bother them."

Zhou Yuwan did not use her status to suppress Aunt Gu and Zhou Yichen like Fang and Nanny Chen did. Instead, she came up with a gentle trick for them, which made it difficult for Aunt Gu to get angry and she could only get angry.

Zhou Yichen stood timidly behind his mother, quietly pulled his mother's sleeves, and whispered: "Mom, forget it, let's go back, okay?"

Aunt Gu was furious when she saw her daughter's timid appearance. She threw her hand away and glared at her with hatred.

"What the hell! The village women are going to climb on top of you and dominate you! Why did I give birth to such an unworthy daughter like you!"

After Zhou Yichen was scolded by his mother, he became even more ashamed and buried his head deeper.

Zhou Yuwan noticed her cautious look and focused her eyes on her with concern.

Later, Aunt Gu made a few fuss and was sent away by Fang. Zhou Yichen followed her mother and was driven away by her mistress. Zhou Yuwan found a reason to say goodbye to her mother and then went to look for Zhou Yichen. Sure enough, she saw him in Jingfang Pavilion.

she.

"Second sister." She called softly.

Zhou Yichen turned his head and looked at her with tears in his eyes.

"Sister, why did you come out?"

Zhou Yuwan took out her handkerchief and wiped away the tears on her face, and said: "I know you have been wronged, so I am here to accompany you. Aunt Gu has that kind of temperament and takes advantage of everything. She is your mother, so be obedient."

Just put some on."

"Yeah, I know." She replied in a timid tone.

With a smile on her face, Zhou Yuwan took out a wooden box from her long sleeves, which contained a gold hairpin.

"Sister, I saw this when I was shopping yesterday. I thought you might like it."

She inserted the gold hairpin into Zhou Yichen's bun, and she stopped crying and started to smile.

"Thank you, sister."

"Why are you so polite with me? I see that your clothes are a little tight. After the new sister comes into the house today and everything is arranged, sister will take you two to get some new clothes cut."

Zhou Yichen touched the gold hairpin on her bun and asked her, "Sister, what kind of person is the new sister? Is it easy to get along with her? I'm a little scared."

"Don't be afraid, sister is here." Zhou Yuwan took her sister's hand to comfort her.

At that time, on the long street of Shangjing City, a carriage engraved with the emblem of General Zhou's mansion was driving slowly. The people sitting in the carriage were Zhou Zhenzhen and Aunt Qing.

Zhou Zhenzhen took Aunt Qing's hand to comfort her insecurities and whispered: "Aunt Qing, we are about to arrive at the General's Mansion. Just relax and live in peace and quiet. I will take care of the rest."

Aunt Qing is mute and cannot speak, so she can only look at her with pity, as if she were looking at her own daughter.

"When we enter the general's mansion soon, I will call you mother, so you don't have to feel uncomfortable."

Speaking of this, Aunt Qing waved her hands, as if she didn't want her to be so wronged.

But Zhou Zhenzhen held her hand and said comfortingly: "I owe you, mother, for taking care of you for so many years."

Aunt Qing stopped gesticulating with her hands and decided to respect Zhou Zhenzhen's wishes.

The long street is packed with people and vendors, giving it the appearance of a prosperous capital city.

But the noisy crowd was broken up the next moment.

Across the long street, three or four horses were galloping towards them. They ignored the people walking on the street and rode along the street, frightening the people and causing them to retreat.

The sharp-eyed people had already recognized at a glance that the leaders of the galloping horses were the fourth princes of Yanjing, Shen Yanbai and Shen Zhixing.

A prince who had been sent to Nanrao as a hostage by Emperor Yanjing since he was five years old was a pawn that could be discarded anytime and anywhere.

But the fourth prince himself was not worried at all. Instead, he became familiar with the dandy boys in the capital. He indulged in this kind of life of boiling frogs in warm water every day, and became a complete waste prince.

"Get out of the way! If you don't want to die, get out of the way!"

The two dandy boys riding behind Shen Yanbai shouted loudly, completely ignoring the safety of these people, and the whole long street was agitated.

…

"Girl! Something's wrong! The horse is frightened!"

The coachman driving the horse in the General's Palace tried hard to control the reins, but the horse was still frightened by the crowd of fleeing people and was unwilling to go any further.

Zhou Zhenzhen held Aunt Qing steady and did not dare to move. She felt that the whole carriage was shaking and was about to throw them away.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way of the carriage in front!"

As the movement became louder and louder, the horse raised its front hooves. Zhou Zhenzhen's hand slipped and failed to protect Aunt Qing, causing her head to hit the edge of the carriage, causing her to be bruised immediately.
