After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

Xiao Jinzhi's eyes were smiling, "Is Yan Yan feeling soft-hearted and guilty?"

Chu Huanyan shook her head, "I'm not soft-hearted, but I do feel a little guilty. Although my uncle's behavior in the past few days is really worrying, he is a father after all. In the final analysis, he only loves his son, so he deceived him like this. , I wonder if it’s a bit too much.”

Qin Li had been in the room just now, and now he was standing aside, scratching his head when he heard Chu Huanyan's words.

"Mother, what do you mean by this? What do you mean by deceiving him?"

"It means that Zhou Muting did not escape on his own, nor was he captured by Dan Yue's people, but was ordered to be hidden by the Queen." Shen Chi spoke as he walked in from the outside.

"What?" Qin Li was stunned for a moment. Was he hidden by the Queen?

"Has the person been hidden?" Chu Huanyan looked at Shen Chi and asked.

The latter nodded, "Don't worry. According to the previous arrangement, he has been hidden in a ruined temple on the outskirts of the city. There are secret guards guarding him. There will be no accidents."

"Empress, why are you doing this?" Qin Li asked puzzledly.

"Of course it's because I'm a little worried about my uncle." There was a hint of helplessness in Chu Huanyan's tone.

Zhou Xuanqi really loved Zhou Muting. After only a few days, he felt extremely distressed. He ran to Shen Chi several times to confirm. If he is allowed to continue like this, he will definitely find a way to release Zhou Muting before long.

Rather than letting Zhou Xuanqi release him because of his distress, it would be better for them to frighten him first so as to save the father and son from causing any more trouble.

Qin Li understood. No wonder such an unsuspecting person disappeared. It turned out that the emperor, the empress and Shen Chi were acting together.

"Does the empress intend to keep hiding people like this?" Qin Li asked again.

"Let's put on a show. Anyway, Zhou Muting will think that it was Danyue's people who took him away. They just took this opportunity to scare him and make him understand that Danyue is no longer a path he can choose. As for Zhou Xuanqi... "Chu Huanyan paused for a moment and then said, "Let him see with his own eyes that his son was almost killed. Although it is a bit excessive, if not, he may not really understand it completely. As long as his son is still alive."

Chu Huanyan's tone was calm. Although she still felt a little guilty, she had obviously made a complete decision.

Qin Li and Shen Chi also roughly understood what to do and quickly left the room.

Xiao Jinzhi sat at the table and looked at Chu Huanyan's lost look. He poured a cup of tea and gently placed it in his hand.

"If you want to see Mr. Zhou, then go ahead. In fact, he may not be able to see the clues."

Chu Huanyan looked sideways at Xiao Jinzhi, "Do you think grandpa noticed it too?"

Although her grandfather had just stopped Zhou Xuanqi from asking them for help, and said that they did not need to intervene, she still felt that her grandfather had discovered something.

"I'm not completely sure, but after all, I am a person who has experienced the ups and downs of officialdom. Naturally, I have a deeper understanding of some things than your uncle." Xiao Jinzhi still smiled, with a comforting meaning in his smile, "Yan Yan, Don’t be afraid, even if you really guess it, grandpa won’t blame you.”

Chu Huanyan sighed again, "If this is really the case, I hope my grandfather can blame me."

As she spoke, she looked at the tea cup in front of her, took a sip of tea from the cup, and then stood up.

"I'll go see him, and you'll wait for me here."

"Okay." Xiao Jinzhi nodded in agreement. It would be difficult for Zhou Yubai to say some words if he were present.

On the way to Zhou Yubai's yard, Chu Huanyan was thinking about what happened after she returned to Zhou's house.

If she was a little disappointed with Zhou Xuanqi, she actually had nothing to be dissatisfied with Zhou Yubai, her grandfather.

He must have seen Zhou Xuanqi's soft-heartedness, so he had so forcefully asked Zhou Xuanqi not to visit Zhou Muting again at the dinner table. He had even warned Zhou Xuanqi just now.

But precisely because of this, she was not willing to deceive her grandfather as well.

"Grandfather." When Chu Huanyan arrived in the courtyard, she saw Zhou Yubai standing under the tree from a distance, wondering what he was thinking.

With white hair and an old figure, he stood under the lush trees, showing a sense of loneliness and powerlessness as his life was about to come to an end.

Zhou Yubai turned around. The moment he saw Chu Huanyan, he was in a trance. After being stunned for a moment, he waved, "Huanyan, come here."

Not the queen, but Huanyan.

Chu Huanyan walked to Zhou Yubai's side and said, "Grandpa, the wind is a bit strong today. You stand here..."

"It's okay." Zhou Yubai interrupted Chu Huanyan's words softly, and looked at the big tree in front of him again, "This tree was planted by my grandfather when he first arrived in Jinzhou. At that time, it was still a small sapling, and its branches and leaves were broken. , was thrown on the roadside. I don’t know why, so I picked it up and planted it in the yard. After so many years, it has grown so tall. "

Chu Huanyan turned to look at the tree. The trunk was strong and the branches and leaves were luxuriant.

"Grandpa, actually you can see it, right?" Chu Huanyan said softly.

Zhou Yubai laughed and said, "So what if you see it? Why do you, kid, have to come to my grandfather and say such a thing?"

"Grandpa, I'm sorry." Chu Huanyan whispered.

"There's no need to apologize. Remember, no matter when the time comes, it's the Zhou family that can't help you." Zhou Yubai moved his eyes to Chu Huanyan, "My grandfather has never taken care of you in these years. With a bit of friendship, you are good enough to be where you are now. As for your uncle and Mu Ting... do what you want, grandfather believes in you."

Xuan Qi had completely lost his mind on this matter and was only thinking about Ting'er. He could see this, so how could Huanyan and the emperor not see it.

Although the previous matter has been resolved, the storm has not subsided and the news has not completely dissipated. The Zhou family is still under the eyes of others. At this time, they must be on guard against causing any trouble again.

"Grandpa, don't worry. After all, my cousin is a descendant of the Zhou family, and he won't let anything happen to him. He just needs to put on a show and hammer it on to completely stop his idea."

"Okay." Zhou Yubai nodded and did not continue the topic. He just looked at Chu Huanyan with love and regret in his eyes. "You were standing there just now. In a daze, I thought I saw your mother."

"Am I similar to my mother?" Chu Huanyan asked.

"Like." Zhou Yubai nodded again, his gaze resting on Chu Huanyan's face, "But you are more decisive, smarter and calmer than your mother. Huanyan, you have grown up very well in these years, you are really very good."
