Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 970
Seeing that Zhou Lenghui still looked reluctant, Zhou glanced at the cold and dilapidated room and continued to talk.

"Ah Hui, are you willing to live in such a ghost place eating chaffy vegetables for the rest of your life? Don't you want to find a way out?"

Zhou Lenghui kept her mouth shut and did not speak. After all, she was a noble girl in the capital, and she was reduced to selling her body, which she couldn't accept for a while.

The scene fell into silence. At this time, the meal was ready, and Zhou Mingzhong held a bowl of porridge and placed it in Zhou Lenghui's hand.

"Okay, okay, we'll talk about this later. Are you hungry? Eat first."

"Why is it porridge again?" Zhou Lenghui looked at the thin and photogenic white porridge in her hand and pouted, "Can't you cook some hard rice to eat?" I have been drinking porridge every day for the past few days, but I can't fill my stomach, not to mention the cold weather. I was so cold that I could wake up three times a night after drinking porridge. It was really miserable.Zhou Mingzhong shook his head helplessly.

"Where is there any hard food to eat? That little rice~~ Drinking porridge after a meal may not last a month, alas!"

"Really?" Zhou Mingcheng sighed and answered, "It's cold and there's nothing to eat. I don't know how many days I can last like this." He put down the porridge bowl in his hand and looked at Zhou Lenghui expectantly.

"By the way, sister, how much money do you still have? Why don't you use it to buy some rice and meat to improve your life?"

"How can I have enough money?" Zhou Lenghui looked sad.

The money I had secretly hidden was not much, and I had already spent some money on the road, so I still had a few pieces of silver left.

It seems that I still have to listen to my aunt, and get in touch with that lustful prefect Duan.

What can you do? When you are at the end of your rope, you have to make plans to survive.

But the humiliation she suffered today will definitely be taken back from the Night King and Night Princess in the future!
Thinking of this, Zhou Lenghui looked at Mrs. Zhou and said, "Okay, aunt, I will go to the city with you tomorrow to congratulate Prefect Duan on his birthday."

Zhou immediately beamed and said, "That's right. Moving trees will kill people and move them alive. It's been such a difficult journey all the way to the North. How can we still starve to death?'
Early the next morning, Zhou and Zhou Lenghui entered Beibu City under the escort of brother Zhou Mingzhong.

After arriving in the city, the aunt and nephew spent money to buy decent clothes, washed up in the bathhouse, packed up, and headed to the prefect's mansion with gifts.

It's Grand Administrator Duan's fiftieth birthday, and the entrance to the mansion is quite lively.

Beibu City is located in the northeast of the Great Zhou Kingdom. It is not adjacent to Beidi in the north and Dali in the east. It is an inconspicuous small town.

There wouldn't be any rich people in this kind of place, so Zhou Shi and Zhou Lenghui were the most eye-catching among the guests after they had carefully dressed up.

Regardless of appearance, figure or temperament, women in this remote northern town do not have it.

Prefect Duan was short and fat, and greeted the guests in person at the door, with a big smile on his face, and greeted the guests who came to congratulate him from time to time.

While he was talking, the servants of the government came over to report.

"Sir, there is a woman over there with a young lady. She says she is a criminal who was exiled to Beibu in the capital some time ago."

As soon as he heard that he was a criminal from the capital, Prefect Duan, he immediately understood the identity of the visitor and hurriedly left all the guests behind.

I saw two women with graceful figures and elegant temperaments coming over. One was in her early forties and still had charm, and the other was eighteen or nineteen years old and very beautiful.

Her skin was whiter than the whitest snow in the North, and her figure was as enchanting as a willow. She was a beauty. Prefect Duan stared straight at her and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

"Who are you two?" He stepped forward and asked proactively.

There are dozens of women exiled this time, and we don’t know who they are.

His eyes fell on Zhou, and he thought she was dignified and noble, but he was not sure that she was the deposed former queen.

Even if the queen is deposed, she is still somewhat proud, and there is no way she would take the initiative to come here.

But what Taishou Duan didn't expect was that the person who came was actually the deposed former queen.

Zhou Chong nodded slightly to the prefect Duan. "I heard that Mr. Duan is going to die today, and the guilty woman Zhou came here with her niece to congratulate him on his birthday."

She had a noble look on her face when she spoke. No matter how downcast she was, she was still the 'Phoenix' she once was. Her identity was still different from these people.

Seeing that the former queen was now taking the initiative to congratulate him on his birthday, Governor Duan couldn't help but feel a little complacent.

That was the queen who was once the mother of the world, the emperor's woman, such a high and far-off existence? Today, there is also a day when she looks servile in front of her.

Governor Duan was proud, but he didn't show it on his face.

He glanced at Zhou Shi and Zhou Lenghui indifferently, and said slowly, "Miss Madam is interested, please come inside."

No matter how noble and impressive these two people were before, they are both sinners now, so there is no need to be too enthusiastic.Although Mrs. Zhou was unhappy with his attitude, she was not qualified to blame him, so she took Zhou Lenghui into the house.In this poor and freezing place, the prefect's mansion is not even comparable to the county government.

But there were quite a lot of people, everyone looked at Mrs. Zhou and pointed.

"That's the waste queen who was exiled from the capital? She's not necessarily very beautiful."

"Really? I think I'm prettier than her, haha.'

"How can you win the emperor's heart if you are so ugly? No wonder he will be deposed~" Mr. Zhou had a gloomy face after hearing these words.

The cold wind in the north had made her delicate skin cracked and rough. After several months of torture, her face had almost become that of a vulgar woman, and her appearance would never be the same again.

Fortunately, Zhou Lenghui was young and recovered quickly. She is a hundred times more beautiful than the woman who was exposed to the wind and cold in the north.

That's enough, as long as they can pull Duan Taishou into the water and become their backer.

As sinners, Zhou and Zhou Lenghui sat directly at the bottom.

At first they felt a little ashamed, but when the food and wine were served, the two of them, who had not seen meat and fish for a long time, no longer cared about anything else and just ate hard.

After eating these greasy things, Zhou and Zhou Lenghui soon became upset. Eventually, all the guests left, and they were still standing outside the latrine holding their trousers.

I didn't stop until my stomach was empty. By then it was almost dark.

Zhou was extremely anxious. They had spent all their money today. If the plan didn't work out, how could they have the money to hire a carriage to go back? Just as they were anxious, a servant came over in a hurry.

"Madam, my master has invited me." Mrs. Zhou was overjoyed and hurriedly took Zhou Lenghui there.

In an ordinary courtyard, the servants opened the curtain of the main room, and Zhou and Zhou Lenghui went in one after another.

Duan Taishou was sitting cross-legged on the fire bed. When he saw the Zhou family coming in, he stood up with a smile and asked them to sit down.

Zhou glanced around the room and felt that it was quite shabby, incomparable to that in the capital.

Speechless lament!
"Who is this?" Duan Taishou poured wine for the two of them while squinting at Zhou Lenghui.

"The little girl is the daughter of the guilty minister Zhou Yuanliang~~" Zhou Lenghui answered with her head down, feeling very uncomfortable being looked at by the prefect Duan, this old pervert.

How could Governor Duan not understand the thoughts of these two people? Is there any reason why he should not enjoy the beauty that was brought to his door?
Everyone knows that they can sit on the same kang.

Mrs. Zhou then smiled and said to Zhou Lenghui, "Ah Hui, you have a good drinker, why don't you have a drink with Mr. Duan!"

Master Duan hooked one with each hand, "Come here, two beauties will drink with me together, and I will promise you whatever you want after drinking comfortably, hahaha."
