Chapter 61: Doubly heartbroken
Chapter 61 Double Heartbreak
After hearing Aunt Su's words, Zhou Mingzhe and Zhou Mingyuan realized that Mrs. Feng was divorced and returned to her natal family by her second husband.
Zhou Mingzhe's father was very gifted in reading, and after successfully passing the Jinshi exam, he was sent to Yuyang County as the county magistrate.
Young, promising and handsome, Zhou Mingzhe's father was soon attracted by the Feng family, a wealthy family in Jizhou. Mr. Feng entrusted his cousin in Jizhou Ren Zhizhou to be a matchmaker, and gave Zhou Mingzhe's youngest daughter, Mrs. Feng, to Zhou Mingzhe. Father is wife.
Shangguan protects the matchmaker, and the one who protects is the beautiful daughter of the local rich family who has been carefully raised. Zhou Mingzhe's father quickly welcomed his beautiful wife Feng Shi under the arrangement of his parents.
At the very beginning, the couple was in harmony, and they really lived a few years of loving and sweet life.
However, the good times didn't last long. Zhou Mingzhe's father was stabbed to the heart by a bandit while he was out on an inspection tour.
At that time, Zhou Mingzhe was only five years old.
Zhou Mingzhe's mother was distraught and shed tears every day. Finally, under the persuasion of her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, she gradually cheered up for her son, but her natal family made the idea of letting her remarry at this time.
Of course Feng is unwilling.
At first, she and Zhou Mingzhe's father had a deep affection, and the Zhou family was an extremely rare and kind family. Whether it was parents-in-law or sister-in-law, they had always treated her very kindly.
Secondly, the family her natal brother-in-law found for her had nothing to offer except power and money.
Even though her sister-in-law was very eloquent and boasted a lot about the old man they found for her, she still accurately captured the key information of the family from the other party's words.
The family her natal brother-in-law found for her, the man who wanted to marry her was not only sixteen or seventeen years older than her, but also had a litter of concubines at home.
The man's deceased wife left him two legitimate sons and one legitimate daughter, while the man's concubine gave him more than a dozen concubine daughters and seven or eight concubine sons.
For such a family, if she listens to her natal brother and sister-in-law and marries in, she will have a good life.
The Feng family, whose head was not occupied by a vast ocean, categorically rejected the lobbying of his natal sister-in-law, and only wanted to cling to Zhou Mingzhe's uncle and aunt, and raised Zhou Mingzhe while he was a widow.
However, her natal parents were moved by what her brother and sister-in-law said. In order to help her son go further, Feng's mother actually pretended to be sick and tricked her widowed daughter back to her natal home after just one year of widowhood.
Being forced by filial piety, Feng finally remarried. Although due to her insistence, she left her dowry to Zhou Mingzhe, it is an indisputable fact that she gave up her son and chose her parents.
From then on, Zhou Mingzhe was raised by his second uncle and second aunt, and lived with his cousin Zhou Mingyuan day and night. Until his grandparents passed away one after another, and his second uncle and second aunt also died in the military accident, he never met his biological mother again. .
Now that Mrs. Feng suddenly appeared, and Aunt Su said that she was framed by a concubine, abandoned by her husband, and left to fend for herself in the village by her natal family, Zhou Mingzhe's mood was extremely complicated.
Probably because of the meticulous love and care given to him by his grandparents, uncles and aunts, he has never hated his mother these years, but he is no longer the little child who kept crying when he was young and wanted to find his mother.
Seven years is enough time for a child to completely forget the so-called mother who disappeared without a word after he left.
He never expected her to have a bad life, and he never hoped that she would regret her original choice, nor would she feel happy and relieve her hatred because of her bad life, but he never thought that his I will never have anything to do with this woman again in my life.
After all, it is a person who has disappeared for seven years. After all, they are living in a precarious and chaotic world.
Zhou Mingzhe didn't know how to react. Let him watch Feng Shi die, he can't do it. But let him accept the other party without any psychological barriers. Just thinking about it, Zhou Mingzhe felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
He was silent for a long time, until the sky completely darkened. Zhou Mingyuan, who had been sitting with him, started yawning uncontrollably. Only then did Zhou Mingzhe stand up slowly, "I'm going out for a walk."
Zhou Mingyuan was shocked, and all the sleepy bugs disappeared without a trace. He followed Zhou Mingzhe, "Brother!"
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Zhou Mingzhe forced a smile, "Go back to sleep first, brother will be back soon."
Zhou Mingyuan wanted to say something more, but saw two figures slowly walking out of the shadows outside the wall.
"Miss Ye? And Brother Li?" Zhou Mingzhe stopped, with doubts and surprises in his eyes.
Ye Anlan nodded towards him, while Li Jing clasped his fists in a respectful salute.
Zhou Mingyuan seemed to see a savior, "Sister Ye, Brother Li, my brother said he wants to go for a walk, he."
"It's okay, I will protect him." Ye Anlan smiled and nodded towards Zhou Mingyuan, "Or you can follow your brother far away."
Zhou Mingyuan's eyes lit up, but Zhou Mingzhe raised his hand to caress his forehead helplessly—he is not such a person who likes to cause trouble for others.
Li Jing said: "If Zhou Xiandi doesn't mind, why don't we go for a walk?" It's better for him to follow Zhou Mingzhe than a little girl like Ye Anlan.
Changan hesitated to speak.
Ye Anlan saw it with sharp eyes, and immediately drove all these people back without any explanation, "Okay, I don't think any of you want to go out for a stroll, just go back to your room and stay."
Zhou Mingzhe:? ? ?
Li Jing: .
Changan and Zhou Mingyuan were very happy.
One said, "Master, I will help you wash up."
One said, "Brother, how about I take a walk in the yard with you?"
Li Jing blinked, "Alright."
Zhou Mingzhe:
What else can Zhou Mingzhe say? It can't be because he is in a bad mood for a while that everyone who is tired can't rest, right?
At this time, he had already realized it later.
The reason why Li Jing never came back was probably to give him time and space to adjust his mood and make decisions.
As for Ye Anlan, most of the reason she appeared here was to accompany Li Jing who had nowhere to go, and the rest was probably because she was worried about him and Feng Shi.
Thinking about this, Zhou Mingzhe suddenly felt a little pricked.
He obviously joined the team earlier than Li Jing, but his contribution to the team was not even as good as Li Jing's little finger.
Sure enough, you are a scholar who is useless? But isn't Li Jing also a scholar!
The heart congestion index doubled, Zhou Mingzhe clutched his chest, obediently followed Zhou Mingyuan back to the house with a look of hopelessness.
Seeing this, Li Jing said goodbye to Ye Anlan with a smile.
Ye Anlan turned around and walked back with Yang Xiaotao, Li Jing watched her go into the next yard, and then turned back to the house with Chang An.
