The legitimate daughter is reborn, her life is still with her

Chapter 217 Even though I can come, I’m not here to be filial.

But it was said that the former Hou Mansion, because of Zhou Haiyang's death, was all shrouded in shadow. The bustling and bustling Hou Mansion of the past could no longer be seen, and it was silent and silent.

Along the way, under the cover of Shuangfu and Shuangwei, Zhou Jiaqing and Xia He did not see any servants on duty. The house was dark, with only a few scattered candles, so weak that they were about to be swallowed up by the darkness. The rare green plants along the road were all in decline and withered due to the lack of careful care by slaves.

There was a faint stench from the lake in the distance, and the stone table in the pavilion had been overturned and had not been restored because Li Yuhe had brought people to the house to plunder it several times. Zhou Jiaqing glanced around and felt that the house was extremely messy.

As they approached the entrance of Yuehe Garden, Zhou Jiaqing and Xia He walked straight past without avoiding people's hands until they reached Ronghua Residence.

During the days when Mrs. Zhou was seriously ill, except for Zhou Haiyang's concubine, Meng Rou, who had been attending to her illness, Zhou Jiaqing was the first person to visit her.

As early as after the birthday party, Mrs. Zhou's body became a little weak. Because Li Yaxuan, Zhou Jiahao, and Zhou Haiyang died one after another, although Mrs. Zhou was ruthless, the blows came one after another, and her old body could not endure it. A serious illness.

All the money in the house was used to hire a doctor for her, but the money was so tight that she could not afford to pay for the other servants. Therefore, apart from Aunt Zhou, there was only one servant who cooked in Ronghua Residence.

Mrs. Zhou was also proficient in medical skills. She didn’t need the doctor to reveal it, but she knew that she might not be able to survive this year. Thinking of this, she became even more anxious...

Now she is showing her old age, she is completely different from the old woman who was steady, self-possessed and dignified in the house.

Aside from being old and suffering from shocks, from the flourishing Jing'an Marquis Mansion to the now declining Zhou Mansion, no one needs to tell anyone how it will end next.

Therefore, there will be people coming to visit the house.

It doesn't matter the others, Zhou Haiyang's death finally made Mrs. Zhou's vitality severely damaged and she couldn't afford to fall ill!

On this day, as soon as Nanny Zhou sat on the couch and fed Mrs. Zhou and finished the medicine, she heard a burst of footsteps. It sounded a bit chaotic, and there must be more than one person.

Without turning her head, Aunt Zhou passed the medicine bowl in her hand to the side, complaining a little: "Aunt Meng comes later and later every day. As a concubine, you don't even have this consciousness, so you can't say anything overstepping." , I’m afraid my old lady is becoming less and less important to you.”

Although she was complaining, her tone was gentle, and she did not dare to accuse too much. The only person she could rely on now was Meng Rou. Aunt Zhou had to rely on the financial resources of Meng Rou’s mother’s family, and also had to rely on Meng Rou to serve the old lady. Aunt Zhou was also getting older.

She just serves from the side and asks the maid to do even the toughest tasks. Now it is inevitable that one person will not be able to take care of the sick old lady.

"Aunt Meng, why don't you take the medicine..." Aunt Zhou was a little surprised. After a while, Aunt Meng didn't even look at her. She didn't know how to take the medicine bowl, and then turned around to look.

"you……"

"Second Miss! Why are you here?"

Mrs. Zhou was still wondering why Grandma Zhou was still confused when she was not sick, but she saw a woman walking forward and standing by the couch looking at her!

I saw Mrs. Zhou lingering on the bed for the past few days. Her clothes were a little wrinkled, her hair was completely white, and her muddy and sunken eyes were wide open to see the person in front of her. From this point of view, the person on the bed was just an old man. Old man.

"Second...Second girl is here!"

After the initial surprise, Mrs. Zhou quickly thought about something in her mind, then waved to Zhou Jiaqing with a loving look on her face, "Qing'er, come to grandma, let grandma take a good look at you..."

In two lifetimes together, Mrs. Zhou had never called her so kindly!

Aunt Zhou quickly moved out of the way, and Zhou Jiaqing followed her instructions and sat beside the couch. In her last life, how could Madam Zhou be so thin and lingering on the bed like she is now?

"Second Miss, this is the floral lychee tea specially prepared for you by the old lady. She said that you girls like this kind of sweet taste. Second Miss, please try it." Aunt Zhou poured the tea for Zhou Jiaqing and handed it to past.

Zhou Jiaqing smiled slightly, did not take the tea, and said: "No need, Grandma Zhou must have remembered it wrong, I don't like sweets."

Hearing this, Aunt Zhou was a little embarrassed. She originally wanted to please Zhou Jiaqing for Mrs. Zhou, thinking that most young women like to drink sweet drinks.

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Zhou ordered: "I'm no longer of use because I'm old. Grandma Zhou has been taking care of my grandmother recently, and she's physically and mentally exhausted. That's all. You can go get Qing'er a cup of tea again."

"Yes, yes, second lady, please wait a moment. I will make tea again right now. Alas, you see, it's all my fault for my memory." After saying this with a smile on her face, Grandma Zhou immediately stepped aside and made tea again.

"I heard that Qing'er, you have been granted a marriage by the emperor, and you will be getting married soon. I remember that when your mother first gave birth to you, she was still a ball of pink."

Mrs. Zhou mentioned this inexplicably. Zhou Jiaqing looked like she was listening. Mrs. Zhou's eyes were unclear and she added, "Your father just didn't want to take a concubine. It's all your fault. Grandma had to take a concubine for your father. That's why." The eldest aunt and the fifth girl were born by accident. I know that you and your father have always hated this in their hearts... Sigh..."

"Your mother is not lucky. She left early. Your stepmother just came in and she was at odds with your sisters. That bastard Li Yaxuan made you suffer a lot of grievances in the house. Speaking of which, it is all your fault that your grandmother is incompetent and can't control the second daughter-in-law. You have been wronged..."

"Grandma was talking about the birthday banquet but she didn't mean it. It was only in the end that she realized that Li Yaxuan had taken advantage of her..."

Mrs. Zhou was mumbling words of regret. Aunt Zhou was silently making tea beside her. Xia He and Qiu Ju's expressions moved slightly. Only Zhou Jiaqing's expression did not change at all and listened quietly.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhou continued, "Fortunately, you are also a blessed person. Marrying into the Duke's palace is also the pride of our family. Grandma does not have many days to live, and your second uncle is also dead. All these things have passed. Just let it pass..."

"Old madam, we all know the right and wrong. There is no need to hide things between you and me. I am not here just to be filial. You know, I have something to ask you." Zhou Jiaqing asked directly. Seeing the surprise on Mrs. Zhou's face, after a moment, she raised her eyes and said with a smile, "On the contrary, Mrs. Zhou, your attitude is also asking for me, right?"

Aunt Zhou was startled by being so straightforward. She followed Mrs. Zhou, knowing that this second young lady had become extremely different since she fell into the water.
