Is Zhou Huaichun taking retreat to make progress, forcing me to return the power of the head of the family by leaving? He is also forcing Zhao Yanqing to choose between her and me in disguise.
She does have brains, but not much.
You know, what Zhao Yanqing hates most is threats.
"What happened to your family?" Sure enough, before I could answer, Zhao Yanqing spoke.
He slowly moved his hand away from my waist, looked at Zhou Huaichun expressionlessly, and asked, "But the child at home is sick again?"
"Exactly." Hearing this, Zhou Huaichun raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and said with a sigh of relief, "I have taken Brother Ping for almost two years, and I have already regarded him as my own child. Now, if my daughter is not seriously ill, my mother at home would
I’m too busy taking care of my nephew, so I can’t bear to leave Brother Ping. I…”
"In that case, then you can leave today."
"This is your monthly payment."
Zhao Yanqing interrupted her with a cold tone. While talking, he took out a banknote and handed it to Zhou Huaichun.
???
In order to gain my trust, Zhao Yanqing even gave up his beloved concubine?
I'm confused.
Zhou Huaichun was confused when he looked at the ten taels of silver...
There was a look of disbelief in her eyes, and after a while, she seemed to come back to her senses. She froze, took the ten taels of silver notes with great reluctance, and returned to Zhao Yanqing with red eyes, "Master, wait until my daughter gets better.
Be back immediately..."
"No need." Before Zhou Huaichun could finish her words, Zhao Yanqing interrupted her again. Then she looked outside coldly and urged in a deep voice, "Ms. Zhou, hurry up and set off while it's still early. The road will be closed when it gets dark.
Good to go."
After saying this, Zhao Yanqing did not give Zhou Huaichun a chance to speak, and directly ordered the housekeeper to take her away. He also ordered the servant to draw up a letter of appointment for the nanny and post it on the street.
When I saw Zhou Huaichun leaving in embarrassment, I felt like I was dreaming.
Zhao Yanqing drove Zhou Huaichun away so easily? Isn't Zhou Huaichun his concubine?
But if he didn't have a wife, where would the boy come from?
"Brother Ping is just the child of one of my subordinates." I was in a trance, and Zhao Yanqing's gentle voice came to my ears.
His hand fell on my shoulder at some point, and his face that was previously covered with frost had returned to gentleness and kindness. He explained to me with a low smile, "Brother Ping's parents both lost their lives in the war. It happened to be his mother's hometown."
He was also in Qingyang County, so I raised him here and called him my child."
So... he would rather raise other people's children than show any mercy to my Ming'er?
Ridiculous, so ridiculous!
Looking up at Zhao Yanqing's tender eyes, I suddenly felt even more disgusting.
"This has nothing to do with me. The play is over and I want to rest. Your Highness, please come back."
I pushed Zhao Yanqing's hand away hard and walked towards the back room without looking back.
I don't know how Zhao Yanqing reacted, and I'm not interested in knowing.
I don’t want to see him, let alone the gentle smile he shows when he mentions the child named Ping’er...
So, for the entire afternoon, I didn't step out of the room again.
Zhao Yanqing might have been a little bored by my indifferent attitude, so he didn't catch up with me anymore.
In the afternoon, when Dr. Zhu came to give me acupuncture with a medicine box, Zhao Yanqing did not show up, but sent a nanny to attend to me.
It wasn't until night that he walked into my door again.
As soon as he entered the door, he took off his coat, lay down on the bed, and looked at me with a hint of solicitude in his eyes, and said warmly, "Mingzhen, the people outside are keeping a close eye on me. I'm afraid I'll have to talk to you these days."
