Chapter 5 Searching Homes
Yang Xi changed her son into thick cotton clothes. He was very obedient and did not ask questions. She also hid exquisite gold peanuts waiting for him.
Facing her son's puzzled eyes, Yang Xi touched her son's hair and said, "This is life-saving money."
Ziheng didn't understand a lot and didn't understand why he hid the money, but he was very obedient and hid the money carefully.
When Yang Xi returned to the main courtyard with her son, the mourning hall had been decorated, and her sixteen-year-old brother and fourteen-year-old sister were already kneeling and keeping vigil.
The people who were watching the Zhou Mansion got the news that Zhou Huai was dead.
Yang Xi saw that her brother and sister were wearing thick clothes. She looked into their eyes and understood that Zhou Yu told them to hide the money.
Mother-in-law Ye was crying in a low voice, her voice was not loud but she was wailing loudly. Her parents-in-law were also childhood sweethearts and they had a close relationship.
My father-in-law was born in a peasant family, and the imperial examination went smoothly. At that time, a lady from an official family fell in love with my father-in-law. He was not a man who abandoned his wife and children. It was his character that set off Mr. Xu’s despicability. People were most afraid that Mr. Xu would hate his father-in-law.
As soon as Mr. Xu gained power, the Zhou family was in trouble today.
There will be more plans to kill them all in the future!
Yang Xi felt that the weather was getting colder. She knew that it would snow tomorrow for the first time this year. She didn't know whether it meant that her father-in-law was wronged, or that she was adding insult to injury to the Zhou family. In her previous life, she was not prepared to be penniless and poorly clothed. The Zhou family was facing hardships every step of the way.
, her eldest son also contracted the cold and was the first to leave.
Yang Xi didn't see her husband. The Zhou family couldn't take any action at this time. She was afraid that too many changes would make her unable to leave the capital smoothly.
Yunya came over quickly and whispered: "Madam, the snacks you asked the kitchen to make are ready."
Yang Xi glanced at her sad mother-in-law and stood up. She also had many things to prepare, "Call Butler Li to come over."
As she spoke, she walked towards the house on the side of the main courtyard. Ever since she married her mother-in-law of the Zhou family, she had handed over the housekeeping rights. Her mother-in-law was in poor health. She had to endure a lot of hardships to support her father-in-law in the imperial examination. Later, she gave birth to a little girl who suffered a massive haemorrhage and completely damaged her body.
Energy manager.
Butler Li arrived very quickly, and Yang Xi had the box containing the deed of betrayal in his hand.
Manager Li spoke carefully, "Madam, what do you have to say?"
Yang Xi, "You have been with the Zhou family for many years, and the family has been very grateful to you in these years."
Manager Li's voice became even louder, "Without me, I wouldn't be able to survive today."
Yang Xi felt uncomfortable. It was because the servants in her family were good that she was worried about it. In her previous life, the servants of the Zhou family were sold again, and the good-looking girl had a bad end. She suppressed the pain in her heart and took out the deed of betrayal, "This is your family."
The deed of sale must be kept carefully."
Butler Li's eyes widened, "No, the villain won't leave."
How could he leave ungratefully? He wanted to live and die with the Zhou family.
Yang Xi felt comfortable when she heard that her father-in-law had a good eye for seeing people, "I am also prepared with both hands."
In the end, Yang Xi persuaded the old housekeeper, and then gave Yunya several contracts of sale. When the time came, Yunya would hand them over to several other girls. She really didn't have the energy to meet more servants.
Yun Ya didn't want to leave, Yang Xi sighed, she was indeed a loyal girl, but it was a pity that she couldn't keep her and could only entrust her to the old housekeeper. Being a single woman was a disaster rather than a blessing, so she felt relieved to have the old housekeeper and his family protecting her.
Time passed little by little, and she returned to the mourning hall. Zhou Yu came back, kneeling upright and burning paper.
Zhou Mansion's crying continued all night. At dawn, Yang Xi and Zhou Yu took the lead in having breakfast. Even the mother-in-law, who had no appetite, knew it was serious and forced herself to drink a bowl of porridge.
After the meal, Yang Xi hid a few snacks in his sleeve pocket, and became calmer as the time approached.
