After a long time of rest, Zhou went to find his daughter.

"mother."

My mother had been entertaining guests in the main hall for a long time, and she didn't know what Lu Feili would say. Ji Wan felt a little annoyed. At this time, the little maid who was serving outside said that the wife was coming, and she immediately stood up to greet her.

Zhou took her hand and walked into the lying lie in her lie down, sat down on the couch, looked at her daughter with a very emotional look.

"mother…"

Ji Wan was inexplicably seen by her mother and couldn't help but speak out.

"Awan."

Zhou held his soft little hand and said seriously: "The Zhou family is here, your uncle wants to pick us up."

Ji Wan was shocked.

"uncle?"

She vaguely remembered that when she was young, her mother mentioned that the Zhou family had a younger uncle. The mother seemed to have a good relationship with her uncle.

"Then... do you want to go back to Beijing?"

Zhou was a little hesitant, "I don't know...whether you want to go to the capital? If you go to the capital and have your uncle's protection, you can have a good future. If you really don't want to go to the Jiang family, forget it..."

"mother."

Ji Wan interrupted her, "I don't know why you left home back then, but you rarely mentioned it over the years, so it must be a very sad thing. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked my parents for help under such a difficult situation."

Zhou sighed softly after a while.

"It's been more than ten years, and there's nothing to worry about."

Grandma went, and she wanted to go back to worship her grandmother. But was grandfather and father really willing to recognize her daughter, who once shamed the family? Changfu only talked about the past, but never talked about the present. She was not sure whether she could go back after many years.

And when she goes to the capital, she must be staying in the Zhou family. She is already a girl who is married and has three children. How can her parents always raise a daughter who is married and lost her husband? Even if her younger brother and sister don’t dislike her, she will feel sorry for her.

Ji Wanzi also thought of these worries.

"If mom doesn't want to go back, we will stay here forever."

Ji Wan leaned in her arms and said, "Why do you have to keep those unhappy things in your heart and add to your worries? In just one year, we have split up, built a new house, and bought a house in the county. The family business is better than one day. We have come to this day step by step, and we have not relied on the Zhou family. Maybe we will never be as noble as the Zhou family in our lives, but we live a fulfilling life. What can we do if we go to the capital? My younger brothers and sisters and I are surnamed Ji, and we are born in poor families. Those noble families and famous families also look down on us. The so-called future is just the foundation and transaction of the Zhou family."

Zhou didn't say anything for a moment.

My daughter has always had big ideas, but what she said is true. Not to mention her children, even herself, who has been away from Beijing for many years, almost forgot about the prosperity and prosperity of the capital.

"My mother was born from a big family, but unfortunately my father and brother died one after another. The children in the clan were all mediocre people, and the family gradually declined. Fortunately, the Zhou family did not abandon her and never regretted the marriage, which was also considered comfort. However, my mother's life was miserable. After giving birth to me, she died and died of dying. Before her death, my father, your grandfather, married her concubine's sister to avoid being treated harshly by my stepmother. However, my mother did not know that it was the concubine's sister she loved the most, who ruined her daughter's life."

For the first time, Zhou talked about his past with his daughter in full.

"The stepmother is a person who is good at disguising. She deceived my mother, her father, and me. She has treated me very well since childhood, generous and virtuous, considerate and considerate. Because I lost my biological mother since childhood, and she is my aunt, I was very close to her and never doubted it. The next year, she gave birth to twins with her sister Zhou Yuqin and her younger brother Zhou Changru. In addition, there is a concubine and a concubine. But the relationship between the three of us is the best."

"My sister and I have been married since childhood. My sister is the queen's younger brother and the younger uncle. My sister is the second son of the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion, and both are prominent families."

When Zhou said this, he paused, either recalling, brewing, or precipitating those years of past events.

After a long time, she continued: "That year, the old lady of the Xie family, my sister and I went with my mother. During the meal, the girl next to me accidentally spilled the wine on me and dirty her dress. I followed the maid of the Xie family to change her dress. But I didn't expect that on the way back, I met my sister's fiancé in the back garden."

Ji Wan opened her eyes wide, could it be...

Zhou closed his eyes, "Later I found out that it was my sister who deliberately asked him to meet in the garden. Including my dirty skirt, they were all arranged early... The dignified Zhou family's daughter, the eldest granddaughter of the Grand Tutor, actually met her sister's fiancé in private, and was still in someone else's house. Haha~"

She laughed sarcastically, her tone was cold and cold.

"There are so many noble ladies and daughters, and this matter cannot be stopped at all. I was ruined. The whole Zhou family was shamed. My grandfather and father were scolded by the backbone. At that time, the truth no longer mattered. I was so sad that I wanted to seek death and proved my innocence. It was the wet nurse who saved me... Then my good sister with a gentle nature told me the truth."

"It turns out that she has always been jealous of me. My mother is the legitimate daughter. Even if her mother's family fails, she can marry into the Zhou family as her original wife with the rich dowry of her biological mother. Her mother is just a good concubine, without a backer or a dowry. The purpose of marrying in is just to make me live a better life. And I am the eldest daughter, she is the second legitimate daughter of Xuxian. Grandfather, grandmother and father value me more, and she can only live in my shadow forever. Even if I get engaged, I am better than her, so she wants to take revenge... Haha~"

Zhou smiled again, with a sarcastic and sad look on his face, "It's a pity that she doesn't understand the principle of both prospering and losing. Both are daughters of the Zhou family, and my reputation is corrupted, how can she survive alone? She can't marry again."

"I also know that my grandfather was helpless to expel me from the house. He spoke in many ways and was awesome. This was undoubtedly a fatal injury to the Zhou family, a famous family in Qinggui. But at that time I was only concerned about despair and sorrow, so I once wanted to commit suicide... If it weren't for the wet nurse, I might have been gone."

Her eyes were filled with tears and she said softly: "But I only realized today that after I left home, my grandfather and father did not shelter her sister. Instead, they married her far away and did not allow her to return to Beijing. My stepmother was also sent to the ancestral hall and confessed to the ancestors of the Zhou family all their lives. The inside story was probably not clear about the outside world. Maybe it was because she felt that the Zhou family was rigorous and that she did not want to harm others for a daughter who corrupted her family style, so she married her sister to her low. And my stepmother... was naturally because she did not teach her legitimate daughter well and even caused her family to harm herself. But today I realized that my grandfather and father might have already found out the truth and punished them. And the family scandals in the inner examination were not convenient to spread everywhere, so she had to hide them."

Ji Wan listened to the truth told by her mother, and felt deeply the sorrow and helplessness of the wealthy family, her secret and ugliness.

"As for me, it is impossible to take it back. Otherwise, it will be a shame for the Zhou family."

In fact, this cannot be blamed for the Zhou family for being pedantic and ruthless. It can only be said that this is the tragedy of the times.

A woman's reputation for chastity is greater than her life.

"I settled in Yi Village, and it was the household registration arranged by the Zhou family for me. I knew all of this. At that time, I was full of grief and anger, and I knew that I had no hope of returning to the Zhou family, so I had never asked for help from my parents for so many years."

Zhou hugged her daughter, tears flashed in her eyes, but she had never fallen.

"Awan, you should have been born in a wealthy country, not in the countryside, and worked hard to make a living. I'm just blamed for being too stupid at the time and mistakenly treating the wolf as a sheep."

Ji Wan thought to herself that if her mother had married her uncle in accordance with the engagement, there would have been no more than three brothers and sisters.

She hugged her mother's waist and comforted her: "Mom, I like the days now. When we are together, we are warm harbors everywhere." After a pause, she said: "If you want to go back, we will be with you."

It’s just a pity that her hot pot restaurant is destined to die before it is opened, but she invested a lot of money.

Zhou's expression was complicated and hesitant.

"Let's talk about it later. In the middle of winter, the weather is cold and the capital is thousands of miles away. It's really not suitable to travel far now." She said: "I want to write a letter to your uncle to explain the reason for the love, and then make a judgment."

Ji Wan thought for a while and nodded, "So should I tell my sister about this?"

Zhou pondered and said, "The person sent by your uncle is temporarily living in our house and can't hide it. Let's talk to your sister in detail in the evening."

"good."
