Siheyuan: The wife was intercepted after returning from the battlefield

After a while, Zhou Daxing came out of the bathroom with a rosy face. Zhou Li and his wife, Zhou Lu and the other two were so surprised that their eyes almost dropped to the ground. You know, Zhou Daxing was sitting in a wheelchair just now, but now not only did he have a rosy face, but his white hair had turned black and he looked ten years younger.

Zhou Daxing felt the vitality in his body, as if he had returned to his middle-aged state. He laughed out loud and said, "What a longevity pill, haha..."

Zhou Li came back to his senses and asked directly: "Dad, how do you feel?"

Zhou Daxing smiled and said, "Good, very good, very good. I feel I can live at least a few more decades. Maybe it's really like what Miss Lin said, I can live a hundred years longer."

After saying that, he turned to Zhou Lu and said, "Lu Lu, you've seen it too. The Lin family is not simple. It's our Zhou family's good fortune that you can marry into the family. Don't act like a spoiled child when you get there. You must serve the head of the family well."

Although Zhou Lu was also shocked, he felt uncomfortable when he thought about having sex with a middle-aged man. However, he had to admit that it was his good fortune to be able to enter the Lin family, so he curled his lips and said, "I know."

Zhou Lu's mother, Chu Yun, also came from a big family. When she saw her father-in-law recover, she thought of her old mother lying in bed suffering from illness. Her heart ached and she looked at her daughter and said, "Lu Lu, you are a member of the Lin family now. Can you ask for a longevity pill for your grandmother?"

Seeing the expectation in her mother's eyes, Zhou Lu felt awkward. She asked for such a precious elixir before she even married into the Lin family. She was a little hesitant to open her mouth, and she was also afraid that the Lin family would think she was a greedy woman.

Zhou Daxing was furious when he heard this: "Nonsense, Lulu hasn't even married yet and you're asking her to beg for medicine. How can she gain a foothold in the Lin family in the future?"

Chu Yun's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she knelt down and said, "Dad, you also know my mother's condition and she really can't wait."

As the head of the Zhou family, Zhou Daxing must consider his family. How could he let Zhou Lu do something that would make the Lin family dislike him? Therefore, he said in a deep voice: "No, you are Lu Lu's mother. Do you want the Lin family to dislike Lu Lu?"

Chu Yun naturally didn't want to do that, after all, Zhou Lu was her biological daughter, but her mother at home was indeed in danger, which put Chu Yun in a dilemma for a while.

Seeing this, Zhou Lu gritted his teeth and said, "Mom, wait a moment, I'll go ask, but don't hold too much hope." After that, he rushed out of the villa without waiting for Zhou Daxing to speak.

Zhou Daxing slammed the table and said, "Nonsense, this concerns Lulu's future life. As a mother, how can you force her like this?"

Chu Yun burst into tears when she heard this: "Dad, I can't help it either. My palms and backs are made of flesh, wuwu..."

Zhou Daxing also sighed when he heard this, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Lin's villa.

Lin Nuo looked at Zhou Lu curiously and asked, "Why are you back again? Is there something wrong with the pill?"

Zhou Lu waved his hands quickly and said, "No, the pill is very effective. I came here because... because I want to ask for a longevity pill. I hope you can help me."

Lin Nuo laughed and said, "Zhou Lu, do you know what happens if you leave a longevity pill outside?"

Zhou Lu nodded and said, "I know. There will definitely be a mad fight for it, and it might even cause a bloodbath."

Lin Nuo smiled and said, "Since you know how precious the longevity pill is, why do you still ask for it?"

Zhou Lu smiled bitterly and said, "My grandmother is dying and needs the longevity pill to prolong her life, so I have no choice but to come and ask for the pill. Miss Lin, please feel free to ask for anything you want. We will definitely satisfy whatever we can."

Lin Nuo laughed and said, "What do you think a family like ours would lack?"

Zhou Lu's eyes dimmed when he heard that, and he said with a wry smile: "I'm sorry for being rude." Then he stood up and was about to leave.

Lin Nuo suddenly said, "Wait, for your commendable filial piety, if you can let Chu Wanrou, who is on par with you, also enter the Lin family, I will give you a longevity pill."

It was only after Lin Nuo's investigation in the afternoon that he found out that Zhou Lu and Chu Wanrou were known as the two beauties of Hong Kong, and Chu Wanrou was Zhou Lu's cousin, so he took the opportunity to blackmail her.

Zhou Lu was startled when he heard this, and wondered why Miss Lin was so keen on finding a concubine for her father? However, this was also an opportunity. As for whether her cousin was willing or not, that was the Chu family's business, so she nodded and said, "I'll try my best."

Zhou family villa.

Chu Yun saw her daughter coming back and hurried over to ask, "Lulu, what did Miss Lin say?"

Zhou Lu smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, the only requirement of the Lin family is that cousin Wanrou and I marry into the Lin family together, so that the Lin family can give the Chu family a longevity pill."

Chu Yun was startled when she heard this. She thought to herself that Wan Rou was extremely favored in the Chu family. How could she be allowed to be someone's mistress? So she smiled bitterly and said, "That might be difficult, but I can pass on the message. As for what happens in the end, it all depends on Wan Rou's choice."

Zhou Lu nodded and said, "That's the only way."

Zhou Li said, "Why would she be unwilling? Didn't our Lulu agree to it for Grandpa? If Chu Wanrou doesn't want to, it would be unfilial. Besides, it's a good thing to extend one's life for a hundred years. It's not a loss for the Chu family to marry off a daughter."

Chu Yun smiled bitterly and said, "That being said, Wanrou is too favored. I'm afraid I won't be able to get past my mother."

The next morning.

Chu Yun hurried back to her parents' home and first went to the bedroom to see her mother. At this time, Old Madam Chu was almost at the end of her life and was just hanging on with her breath. She could pass away at any time.

After tucking in the quilt for her mother, Chu Yun went to the study downstairs and found the head of the family, Chu Weizhi, and said, "Brother, I want to discuss something with you."

Chu Weizhi stood up and said, "My little sister is here. Have you seen mother?"

Seeing Chu Yun nod, he asked again: "What do you want to discuss?"

Chu Yun then told her father-in-law about her family and said, "I want to ask for a longevity pill for our mother, but the Lin family wants Wanrou to marry them. What do you think we should do, brother?"

Chu Weizhi was startled when he heard this, and then asked excitedly: "Is what you said true?"

Chu Yun nodded and said, "It's true. If you don't believe me, you can go to my house to see my father-in-law."

Chu Weizhi also believed what Chu Yun said, but Chu Wanrou was his daughter who came after his old age, and he spoiled her like a princess. Many young men who wanted to marry her were rejected by him, so he wanted to keep her for a few more years. If Wanrou became someone else's mistress, he would not be able to accept it. However, if he did not accept it, his mother would die. He was in a dilemma for a while.

After a while, Chu Weizhi said: "I will call Wanrou back to ask her what she thinks."

An hour later, a fairy-like girl in a white dress with half of her white calves exposed under the skirt and red cardamom painted on her toes rushed into the hall and said, "Dad, what's the matter that you called me back so urgently?"

Seeing Chu Yun was also at home, he ran over with surprise, took Chu Yun's arm and said, "Aunt, you are here too, where is that girl Lulu?" After saying that, he looked around the hall.

Chu Yun smiled and patted Chu Wanrou's hand and said, "Lulu is at home taking care of Grandpa. I came here today to talk to you about something, but I don't know if you are willing to do so."

Chu Wanrou was surprised when she heard this: "What's the matter that makes you so anxious?"

Chu Yun was too embarrassed to speak after hearing this, so she looked at Chu Weizhi and said with a wry smile: "You should talk to Wanrou."

Chu Wanrou looked at her father and said, "Dad, what's the matter?"

Chu Weizhi sighed and told the whole story. Chu Wanrou was surprised and said, "Dad, aunt, have you been deceived? How can it be possible to extend one's lifespan by a hundred years? If there really is such a pill, what does it matter if I marry him? In the end, our Chu family is the one that gets the upper hand."

Chu Weizhi and Chu Yun were both startled when they heard this. They had thought of many possibilities, but they didn't expect Chu Wanrou to analyze the matter so calmly. So Chu Yun asked, "So you mean you don't object?"

Chu Wanrou nodded and smiled when she heard this: "If that's the case, I have no objection, but the premise is that what you said must be true."

Chu Yun looked at Chu Wanrou and smiled, "You'll know the truth if you come home with me."

Zhou family villa.

Chu Wanrou looked at the young Mr. Zhou who looked a dozen years younger and said in surprise: "Grandpa Zhou, you really look a lot younger. Is that elixir really that magical?"

Zhou Daxing smiled and nodded when he heard this: "Yes, although I am not sure I can live for a hundred years, I can live for a few decades, so the elixir is real."

Chu Wanrou fell silent for a moment. At that time, she agreed because she didn't believe that there was such a magical elixir in the world. But now all this is true. Is she really going to marry an old man?

Chu Weizhi came back to his senses at this time and asked excitedly: "Uncle Zhou, does this mean my mother can be saved?"

Zhou Daxing nodded and said, "There is hope, but you have to pay the price. The price my Zhou family gets for an elixir of longevity is to marry Lu Lu off as a concubine."

Chu Weizhi was also conflicted. On one side was his old mother who gave birth to him and on the other side was his old daughter whom he loved very much. He didn't know what to do.

The hall suddenly fell into silence. After a while, Chu Wanrou looked at Zhou Lu and said, "Lu Lu, do you really agree to be my mistress?"

Zhou Lu smiled bitterly and said, "What can I do if I don't agree? Otherwise, I will have to watch Grandpa die. Wanrou, I have no choice."

Chu Wanrou swayed when she heard this and said, "Yes, we have no choice."

Then she looked at Chu Weizhi and said, "Dad, I agree to marry into the Lin family as a concubine, but you can't tell grandma about this, otherwise I'm afraid grandma won't agree."

Chu Weizhi's eyes turned red when he heard this and said, "Wanrou has wronged you."

Chu Wanrou smiled and said, "I don't feel wronged. As long as grandma can really get better, it doesn't matter if I feel wronged a little."

Zhou Daxing said seriously, "Since you have agreed, then there is no time to lose. Lulu will take your cousin Wanrou to the Lin family."

Zhou Lu nodded, took Chu Wanrou and left the villa.

Lin's villa.

Lin Nuo looked at Chu Wanrou in front of him and nodded, "As expected, she is worthy of the title of Hong Kong's twin beauties. She is truly a beauty of national beauty and natural beauty."

Chu Wanrou looked at Lin Nuo and wondered in her heart, how could a daughter find a woman for her father? However, now was not the time to think about these things, saving grandma was the top priority, so she said straight to the point: "Ms. Lin, I heard your conditions from my cousin, and I agreed."

Lin Nuo smiled and said, "Then do you know the consequences of betraying us?"

Chu Wanrou nodded and said, "I know. Our Chu family doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of that family that was wiped out."

Hearing this, Lin Nuo smiled and said, "It seems that Miss Chu is very smart. Since you have agreed, I will abide by the agreement. This is a longevity pill, you can take it." After that, he threw a pill to Chu Wanrou.
