Madam Zhou said impatiently, âAlright, stop crying.
âLook at you; you are usually quite the level-headed girl. How can you say such thoughtless words on such an occasion?â
âI didnât want to either. But Zhou Ying was so infuriating!â
âAre you trying to make an excuse? Youâve already been humiliated by her; why are you still provoking her?â Principal Zhou spoke up unhappily.
âBut Zhou Ying has gone too far too. How could she hit someone in public?â Mrs. Zhou huffed indignantly.
âYou still have the cheek to say that? Itâs all your fault; look at what your daughter said today.â
âIâ¦â Mrs. Zhou was about to speak when Madam Zhou knocked on the table and said, âAlright, itâs the parentâs fault for not teaching the child. You share some of the responsibility for what she has done today.
âLet me ask you now, do you agree with what your brother-in-law and his wife suggested?â
âI agree. Let her go and reflect on herself.â Principal Zhou looked at Mrs. Zhou and added, âYou should go with her and teach her well.â
Mrs. Zhou gripped her prayer beads tightly and finally nodded.
âThis matter is settled. You can all leave.â After Madam Zhou finished speaking, she stood up and returned to her room.
Everyone stood up and walked out.
Only Principal Zhou followed the madam into the inner room. After helping his mother sit down, he asked, âMother, what do you think about Zhou Ying?â âWhat else can I think? Just treat it as if we raised an ingrate. Itâs good that she doesnât want to acknowledge us, as I donât want to acknowledge her either.â
âThatâs good. Anyway, sheâs already married, so letâs pretend thereâs no such person in the family. You should also restrain the women in the family from taking the initiative to provoke her.
âOtherwise, with her reckless personality, she might do something rash.â
âAlright, I got it. You should also instruct the kids.â
On the other end, Mirs. Zhou sent Zhou Jiaqing back to her courtyard and said, âLet the maids pack some warm clothes for you. Itâs colder in the manor than in the city.â
âMother, are we really going to stay in the manor?â
âWhat else? Do you know how much trouble youâve caused today?
âLearn more from your sister in the future. You have to be calm when things like this happen. When will you change your impulsive personality?â
âZhou Jiaying, Zhou Jiaying. You only know to say her name daily. Why should 1 learn from her?â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Mrs. Zhou looked at her twisted expression and was surprised by the intensity. She shook her head and said, âAs someone younger, you first have to face your shortcomings.
âIf you canât even face your own shortcomings, how can you improve?
âThink about this carefully.â
After saying that, Mrs. Zhou turned around and returned to her room.
Zhou Jiaqing was so furious that she swept the teacup on the table to the ground, then crawled onto the table and cried.
The maidservants were so frightened that none of them dared to make a sound.
However, Zhou Jiaqing quickly raised his head and asked, âWho knows where Zhou Yingâs adoptive mother and family went?â
âAfter Zhou Ying got married, didnât you find an excuse to drive them to the hot spring manor?â
Zhou Jiaqingâs eyes flashed with a trace of viciousness, âJust in time. Hurry up and pack my luggage.â
âYes.â The four servant girls responded and immediately busied themselves.
Zhou Ying could not bear to see this. It seemed that she had to bring her adoptive motherâs family away from the Zhou family as soon as possible. Otherwise, they would probably be implicated.
But where were their servitude contracts?
Thinking of this, Zhou Ying searched the rooms of Mrs. Zhou and the in-laws, but she found nothing.
In the end, she found it in Madam Zhouâs room.
But how should she take it back openly?
