Chapter 136: The Real Purpose of the Jiangnan Trip
Mrs. Zhou felt a lot in her heart.
She had always suspected that Chu Luoci was the foxy girl mentioned by the imperial concubine, but after getting along with Chu Luoci over the years, she liked this girl very much, and subconsciously did not want to connect her with the foxy girl mentioned by the imperial concubine.
It's the same person...
Seeing Mrs. Zhou's mood swings, Yanque quickly went over to help her.
"Aunt, these things have passed. You shouldn't worry about the younger generation's affairs. I just came here today to ask questions, and I also came to see you by the way."
"Okay, okay, you are a filial person. I will let my servants prepare the food and wine. You will stay in the central mansion tonight, right?"
The banquet was in front of me, so I couldn't refuse, so I agreed.
Zhou Ci took advantage of this opportunity and quickly communicated with the eldest and second sisters in the family that they must not mention Chu Luoci during the dinner. Even the servants gave him a good beating.
In fact, he immediately wanted to find someone to go to another hospital to inform Chu Luoci and ask her to be careful, but he knew that he must not act rashly now, in case a flaw was really exposed and Yanque discovered it...
He simply couldn't imagine the consequences!
At this time, the mother and son who were eating in the other courtyard had no idea of the subtle atmosphere in the Zhou family mansion.
Chu Luoci was taking her two children to eat.
Today she was the one cooking the food herself, while the rough-and-tumble woman stood aside in fear.
Chu Luoci smiled and said to her, "It's been a long time since I personally cooked for the children. Let me cook for them today. Don't worry, Mr. Zhou won't blame you."
After hearing this, the rough lady felt at ease.
Chu Luoci made three dishes and one soup. The two children were very independent when eating and did not need adults to feed them.
At this time, one person was holding a small bowl, slurping and eating like a piglet.
Chu Luoci looked at the two of them and felt her heart soften.
After dinner, Chu Luoci played with them in the yard for a while, and then brought the two children into the room to put them to sleep.
The younger brother is in better health and likes to play more on weekdays. He consumes too much energy during the day. At this time, Chu Luoci had only told half of the story and he had already fallen asleep.
Only my brother was still awake, looking at Chu Luoci with his eyes open.
Seeing the way he looked, Chu Luoci realized that the mother's heart was connected, so she asked softly: "My brother is already asleep. Do you have anything to ask my mother?"
The elder brother nodded slightly: "Mom, are we coming here today to avoid the people on the carriage we met today?"
My brother was really smart, and he got to the point right away.
Chu Luoci sighed, not wanting to hide it from him, so she nodded lightly: "Yes."
The elder brother rolled his eyes and asked again: "Are those people related to our father?"
Chu Luo was speechless.
She has never told her two children about their father. She has told them since they were young that they are the children of her mother alone. They were born from her mother and have nothing to do with anyone else.
But Chu Luoci also knew that such words could fool them when they were young. When they grow up, they will gradually understand that they are different from others.
But he didn't expect that such a precocious brother would start asking her this question now.
Seeing the complicated look in Chu Luoci's eyes, my brother was a little worried: "Mother, is it my problem that makes you sad? If mother is sad, then I won't ask! Mother is right, she raised us up.
, we will always be our mother’s children, and whether we are father or not has nothing to do with us!”
Chu Luoci touched his head with a smile and said softly, "Since you asked, my mother will tell you, but don't tell your brother. My brother is still young, so let's not make him worry, okay?"
The elder brother nodded slightly.
Chu Luoci thought about what to say to her son. After thinking for a long time, she softly said: "The people from Kyoto do have some relationship with your biological father. My mother has been avoiding him all these years because she doesn't care.
I like him and don’t want to be with him anymore.”
"But since ancient times, sons have always wanted to be with me. Mother is afraid that if he finds out, he will take you away from mother."
The elder brother nodded seriously, "Then I understand! I won't ask again in the future!"
Chu Luoci was a little surprised, "But the children in other families live with their parents. Don't you think your mother is very selfish? Because of my personal problems, you can't meet your biological father...
…”
The elder brother shook his head and whispered, "Didn't Mom say that from the beginning? You don't like Dad anymore. Why would you want to be with someone you don't like? We can't force Mom just because we want to see Dad.
Don’t do things you don’t like, that’s what mother taught us!”
Chu Luoci was deeply moved when she heard such a young child say such words.
She held one in her arms and said softly, "You are all mother's good children. Don't worry, mother will protect you. No one can take you away from mother."
After saying this, Chu Luoci coaxed the two children to sleep.
Over there at the Zhou family mansion.
Yanque hadn't seen relatives from the Zhou family for a long time. He was dragged in by several male relatives including Zhou Ci and drank a lot of wine. When he left the dining room, he even staggered a little, hiding in the dark.
Wei immediately came out and helped him.
Everyone in the Zhou family knew Yanque's identity. There were two secret guards around him who were not surprised or surprised. They nodded to him and pointed to the yard prepared for Yanque.
After everyone in the Zhou family left, Yanque's figure immediately stabilized.
A group of secret guards also let go of their supporting hands.
Looking at Yanque's expression, he is very clear and clear. How can he look half drunk?
The secret guard accompanied Yanque all the way to the room, and after checking that there were no extra people in the yard, he said: "The people of the Zhou family are so cooperative, and they don't seem to be at all curious about the prince's search for the owner of the prescription. This
Is it because my subordinate is overthinking it, or..."
Yanque looked at the night sky and smiled lightly, "How could it be such a coincidence? I just happened to find the prescription and immediately found the owner of the prescription. It happened to be someone from the Zhou family who brought it from Kyoto. Although there is
This is possible, but it would be too coincidental.”
The secret guard immediately said, "Do you want me to go down and check it out?"
Yanque shook his head, "We have just arrived in Jiangnan. If there is something fishy here, now is the time when the Zhou family is most vigilant. If we go and investigate now, we may not find anything."
At this point, Yanque's face turned serious, "Also, don't forget what we are here for."
When the secret guard heard this, his expression immediately became serious.
Yanque returned to the room and lay on the bed.
The bed was excellent, and the incense was to his liking, but he stared at the top of the bed and couldn't fall asleep.
On this trip, the emperor planned to choose a prince to go on patrol for him, and many people wanted to compete for this job.
Yanque spent a lot of tricks to get this job, and it was not just as simple as observing the people's sentiments for the emperor.
Thinking of what he found out on Jingdong, Yanque squeezed his hands tightly in the quilt.
If the matter about Chu Luoci's father is really as he found out...
