Chapter 441
Qiu immediately stared at Jingyan with sharp eyes. "Why not? Yan'er, although he is not the son of your father, he is also your elder brother. You can just watch him marry a woman with a bad reputation!"

"Mother!" Jingyan's eyes turn red with sadness. "How can you think of my son so much? My son objected because the elder brother chose this marriage himself, and he also gave the dowry. You went to withdraw the marriage while he was away, and your relationship with him was not good. When he came back, he found out If the marriage is withdrawn, he will definitely hate you."

Qiu Shi looked at Jingyan with reddened eyes, panicked and distressed, and hurriedly said: "Yan'er, mother said the wrong thing because she was confused, please don't be angry with mother, okay?"

Jingyan stepped forward to hold Qiu Shi's hand, and said with a filial expression, "It's the child who can't relieve mother's worries."

"Good boy." Qiu patted the back of Jingyan's hand twice, choked with sobs. "It would be great if your elder brother was half as sensible as you. It was just an accident when he was abducted by Ren Yazi back then, but he has always kept it in his heart. It has been four years since he came back, and he still refuses to forgive me, a mother."

Looking at Qiu's sad look, Jingyan's eyes flicker with complicated light, he hesitates to speak, and finally says nothing.

He suspected that it was not an accident that his eldest brother was kidnapped by Ren Yazi, but his father did it.

Otherwise, how can I explain it? Since the elder brother returned home, his father's temperament has changed drastically. He almost treats the elder brother like an ancestor, and treats his stepson better than his only biological son.

In his opinion, his father must have committed a guilty conscience.

But this matter is just his guess, he can't say it without evidence, he can only bury it in his heart.

Qiu Shi didn't know that the son in front of her was hiding many things from her, so she murmured to herself: "Your elder brother hates me, so you really can't take advantage of his absence to withdraw from the marriage. ...."

The eyeballs rolled around, thinking about it. "I can't call the shots on your elder brother's behalf to call off this marriage, and I can't make him hate me more, but what if the other party voluntarily divorced?" I don't know what came to mind, the smile on the corner of his mouth widened.

Jingyan looks at Qiu Shi who doesn't know what he's thinking, frowns tightly and doesn't know how to persuade him.

Flash forward to the next New Year's Eve, every household took down the old lanterns and replaced them with new ones, pasted up new couplets, immersed in joy.

Zhuo Nan was sitting at the table, resting his chin in one hand, watching Qing Dai and the others admiringly pasting all kinds of exquisite window grilles on the windows.

She also tried to cut one and didn't try again.

Qian Momo even replaced Zhuo Nan's bedding with brand new ones.

Some old furnishings in the room were removed and replaced with taller and more valuable items.

In just one day, the whole room has completely changed. The once simple and elegant room is now full of luxury.

Zhuo Nan turned around to look at it a few times, and understood that it was only during the Chinese New Year that it would be so grand, and some annoying decorations would still be put away after the Chinese New Year.

The snow in the courtyard, Qingdai and the others had no energy to clean it up, so they called the young servants from the outer courtyard to work with the rough envoy to remove them, and piled them up in the corner or under the big tree.

Even though everyone was busy walking around, their faces were full of joy.

Zhuo Nan was the most leisurely one, watching them busy.

Soon it was time for reunion dinner, Wu Yiniang sent a little maid to tell Zhuo Nan to have dinner in the flower hall.

Qian Momo rewarded the little maid who came to report the letter, looked at Zhuo Nan and said, "Miss, Wu Yiniang is now in charge of the house, this year's New Year's Eve reunion dinner is all arranged by her, I don't know how the food is."

Zhuo Nan responded lightly: "You will know when you go." He took all the maids and servants to the flower hall.

The courtyard of the flower hall is full of tables for the servants of the prime minister's mansion to eat, only once a year.

The masters naturally ate in the living room.

The snow in the yard has already been cleared away, and even the big trees are decorated with lights and festive everywhere.

Zhuo Nan stood in the courtyard, watching the servants and servants in the courtyard shuttle non-stop, serving food on the table.Withdrawing his gaze, he glanced at Qing Dai and said, "You don't need to serve me on New Year's Eve tonight, but Tian'er will serve me later, and you will eat with Bai Wei and the others."

Qingdai saluted and thanked her. "Miss Xie."

Qian Momo took a step forward and said, "Miss, Tian'er is still young, and she is looking forward to having a reunion dinner with everyone, why don't the old slave serve you instead of Tian'er?"

"Who said it? Who said it?" Qing Shang jumped out to object.Her mission is to protect the young lady. The entire prime minister's mansion is gathered at the reunion dinner tonight. If it is not good for the young lady to sneak in with the bad guys, it will be useless for her to commit suicide and apologize.

Qian Momo looked helplessly at Qingshang's jumping feet, thinking that she had good intentions, and it was fine if the girl didn't appreciate it.

All the maids and mothers-in-law stayed in the courtyard, looking for their own places.

The farther to the outside of the courtyard are the seats for the third-class servants, and the farther to the inside, near the entrance of the flower hall, are the seats for the second-class maids or mothers.

As for the first-class maidservants, they have to serve the master's meals. There is no place for them, and it will be their turn only when the master runs out.

Zhuo Nan led Qing Shang into the flower hall alone.

The seats in the hall are divided into left and right sides, separated by a screen in the middle.

The screen on the right has only one table, but on the left there are three tables.

Zhuo Nan judged at a glance that the table on the right was for the prime minister and Prince Zhou, while the ladies and aunts on the left were for them.

Last time they ate at the same table, but this time they were separated by some kind of screen.

After thinking about it, this time the prime minister's concubines, whether they are favored or not, will all show up for the reunion dinner. It is more appropriate to put a screen to separate them, after all, there is an outsider, Lord Zhou.

Zhuo Ran and the others came earlier than Zhuo Nan, and had already occupied the first table on the left.

On the left of Zhuo Qing is the third aunt, and on the right is Zhuo Ran, and on the other side of Zhuo Ran is the fifth aunt, leaving only the last vacant seat.

Other unfavored aunts sat at the second and third tables.

Zhuo Nan led Qing Shang towards the first empty position.Passing by the aunts, sniffing all kinds of strange fragrances from their bodies, I couldn't help frowning slightly and held my breath.

It is rare for these unfavored aunts to see the prime minister, and now they are dressed up for the reunion dinner, and they want to take the opportunity to wait to attract his attention.

All the aunts greeted Zhuo Nan with apprehensive eyes when Zhuo Nan walked over.

Zhuo Nan ignored him and went straight to the first table, and sat down on the empty seat, which was the main seat.

Seeing Zhuo Nan sitting on the main seat without any hesitation, Fifth Yiniang's eyes flashed the light of a successful plot.

Zhuo Nan took a full view of Wu Yiniang's reaction and didn't take it seriously at all.Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Zhuo Qing and Zhuo Ran, and found that they looked haggard and tired.

After eating at the same table with Lord Zhou that day, the two of them sat with their backs to the door and were exposed to the cold wind for more than an hour, and returned to the courtyard to catch the cold.

In the past two days, he continued to drink soup and medicine, and his face was naturally haggard.
