Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 819
Mrs. Zhou Hongxing was arrested for going out of the wall, and later died in prison.

After the death of Mrs. Zhou, the character of "Zhou Chenxiang" changed drastically, and he suddenly became estranged and indifferent to his legitimate sons and daughters. Now he still wants to marry her, how can Zhou Lenghui agree?
"Marriage in a daughter's family has always been the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Whether you agree or not, the marriage is settled like this." Zhou Qian stood up with a flick of his sleeves and walked out of the yard.

As soon as he walked outside the courtyard, a servant hurried over.

"Master, Butler Huang is waiting for you in the study."

"Oh? When did he come back?" Zhou Qian hurried to the study.

The servants were also very surprised to see that the dignified Prime Minister attached so much importance to a housekeeper, and rushed to see him in a hurry.

After a while, he came back to his senses and said, "Just now, very anxious."

Prime Minister Zhou didn't speak, and left quickly.

The servant was still watching in a daze, when Zhou Lenghui came over from behind and asked the servant, "What? You also think something is wrong with the master, don't you?"

"I don't dare, I don't dare." The servant was startled, and quickly denied it.

"Don't be afraid." Zhou Lenghui narrowed her eyes and stared at Zhou Qian's back, "I also think there is something wrong with him, look at his footsteps? He is vigorous and vigorous, how can he look like an old man?"
"Miss is thinking too much." The servant said cautiously, "Maybe the master has married a few young aunts, so he has rejuvenated."

"Hmph, how can there be such a good thing? When you are old, you are old. Where can you be young?" Zhou Lenghui twitched the corner of her mouth, then turned her eyes and took out a few bank notes to light up.

"Ah Fu, as long as you help me keep an eye on the master to see what's wrong with him, the 1000 taels of silver will be yours.

Seeing Yin Zi's smiling face, Ah Fu nodded and bowed immediately, "Don't worry, Miss, I will definitely be able to do this well, but Miss, please don't reveal the doubts in your heart to the master, it's better to be careful."

"Ms. Ben naturally knows." Zhou Lenghui nodded, and gave the bank note to Ah Fu, "Remember, don't let the master notice."

"Yes, the servant knows." After finishing speaking, Ah Fu put the banknote away properly and hurried away.

After he left, Zhou Mingzhong and Zhou Mingcheng, the eldest son and second son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, wandered out out of nowhere.

"Sister, come into the courtyard to chat?"

"En." Zhou Lenghui agreed, and followed the two elder brothers into the Ziling Pavilion.

"Two brothers, please sit down." Zhou Lenghui told all the servants to leave, and personally poured tea for Zhou Mingzhong and Zhou Mingcheng.

Zhou Mingzhong and Zhou Mingcheng sat down, and after drinking two sips of tea, Zhou Mingzhong asked Zhou Lenghui in a low voice.

"My sister told Ah Fu to pay attention to my father. Could it be that you have become suspicious of him too?"
Zhou Lenghui didn't dare to tell her two elder brothers at first, fearing that they would reprimand her, but now her eyes widened after hearing Zhou Mingzhong's words.

"Why? The two elder brothers also think there is something wrong with our 'father'?"

"Of course, I've been paying attention to him for a long time." Zhou Mingcheng moved his head closer, and the three brothers and sisters put their heads together, "Father likes braised pork and braised pork the most, but this "father" will touch these two dishes at the banquet. None."

Zhou Mingzhong took over the quarrel, "Also, dad can't eat shrimp, because eating shrimp will cause rashes, but this dad 'ate a lot at the palace banquet last time, it's completely fine.'

Zhou Lenghui also hurriedly said, "Father and Song Shangshu have never been on good terms, but just now my father said that he would marry me to Song Shangshu's son Song Yu'an~~ This is too wrong!"

After some discussion, the three brothers and sisters all thought that their 'father' was tricky, as if they were a different person.

"The strange thing is that his words and deeds are exactly the same as my father's, and even the handwriting is exactly the same, which really doesn't make sense." Zhou Mingzhong shook his head with a puzzled expression on his face.

"You can learn all of this." Zhou Lenghui thought for a while, then suddenly said, "I remember Zhou Qian's handwriting, which is very similar to my father's handwriting."

Zhou Mingzhong and Zhou Mingcheng couldn't help but change their faces when they heard this name, a little ugly.

Zhou Qian had committed adultery with their mother and was executed, so it is normal to feel uncomfortable when mentioning this person.

"Sister has seen Zhou Qian's handwriting?" Zhou Mingzhong asked after taking a sip of tea.

"Well, I saw it once, several years ago." Zhou Lenghui pondered, "I didn't know who to play hide and seek with, I hid under the table in Dad's study, and saw Zhou Qian practicing calligraphy. Dad's writing is exactly the same~~"

"Is there such a thing?" Zhou Mingzhong and Zhou Mingcheng looked at each other, "We have never seen Zhou Qian pick up a pen. We didn't expect him to be able to write? Is it exactly the same as Dad's handwriting?"
Zhou Lenghui nodded affirmatively, "Yes, I remember it clearly. At that time, I still thought Zhou Qian was very good, and I admired him very much."

"Brother, will it be?" Zhou Mingcheng looked at Zhou Mingzhong, the meaning on his face was already obvious.

"No way?" Zhou Mingzhong naturally understood what Zhou Mingcheng meant, took a sip of his tea and shook his head in disbelief, "If that's the case, how did he do it? When did he do it?"
"What kind of dumb fans are you guys playing?" Zhou Lenghui stared at the two elder brothers in surprise, "You don't suspect that Zhou Qian killed Dad and replaced Dad, right?"

"Hush~~ Keep your voice down." Zhou Mingzhong shrank his neck in fright, and hurriedly looked around, "If this is true, we will be in danger."

"That's right, that's right, don't reveal anything, or it will be over." Zhou Mingcheng also turned pale with fright, "Forget it, let's not hold him accountable, the less we know, the safer .

Zhou Mingzhong also said very spinelessly, "That's right, after all, no matter who is our 'father', we are all young masters and young ladies in the prime minister's mansion, right?"

Zhou Lenghui was extremely wronged, "Then big brother and second brother, you don't care about me? Song Yu'an is a man and woman with a broken sleeve, how can I be happy if I marry him?
Zhou Mingcheng got up, lightly patted Zhou Lenghui's shoulder, and shook his head helplessly, "Do you know who I'm going to marry next month? A concubine from the Shaoqing Mansion of Dali Temple, alas.'

"Yes, sister." Zhou Mingzhong also got up, and comforted Zhou Lenghui, "Our 'father' arranged for us to marry low and low, presumably to use our marriage to win over court officials, accept fate!"

After speaking, the two shook their heads and left, but Zhou Lenghui murmured unwillingly, "I'm not afraid of you if you are afraid of him. If he dares to take advantage of me, I will take off his mask."

In the study room, Wei Xuanyuan was sweating profusely, came in hurriedly, poured a cup of warm tea and drank it down.

After drinking three cups of tea, he sat down and tapped his thumbs on the table hurriedly.

"Master, you are back." Zhou Qian closed the door as soon as he entered the study, and walked over respectfully.

"Who in the court is good at leading troops and fighting? Send them to Luozhou immediately." Wei Xuanyuan spoke quickly, showing that he was very anxious, "Also, you go to the palace right away and ask the emperor to call Wei Yuande back from Luozhou Come, so as not to die there and no one will collect the body."
