Just as she was about to leave the courtyard through the side gate, she suddenly saw a shadow coming at her head. Zhou Ying dodged it sideways and kicked back.
âOuch, it hurts so much!â
Zhou Ying turned her head and saw that it was one of Zhou Jiaqingâs servants. She then looked around and found Zhou Jiaqingâs skirt fluttering behind a big tree.
âAs expected, youâre still as insidious as before,â she sneered. âBut your methods are still so childish.â
After that, she deliberately used her spiritual sense to prick Zhou Jiaqingâs thigh before walking out with Gu Chengrui.
However, just in case, she did not withdraw her spiritual sense.
Zhou Jiaqing immediately cried out in alarm, her legs turning soft as she knelt on the ground with a thud.
When she turned to look at Zhou Ying again, Zhou Yingâs back was already far away. She could not help but clench her fists and say, âDamn it, I wonât let you off.â
After that, she stood up and walked to the servant girl. She kicked her angrily and said, âTrash, you canât even handle such a small matter.â
The servant girl did not dare to reply. She only shrank her neck and stood to the side obediently.
Zhou Jiaqing looked at her cowering face and rolled her eyes, saying, âIâll give you a chance to make up for your mistakes. Take a carriage to the manor immediately and âinviteâ that little slut Haitang over.â
âYes, this servant will go over now.â The servant girl immediately ran away when she heard that.
Zhou Ying, who had been staring at her, was furious when she heard her plan. Haitang was her original selfâs only friend. If Zhou Jiaqing had caught her, she would not have had a good time.
Thinking of this, she used her spiritual senses to stab at Zhou Jiaqingâs head.
Zhou Jiaqing screamed in pain, held her head, and fainted.
The servant girl, who hadnât gone far, turned her head to look when she heard the scream. When she saw Zhou Jiaqing pass out, her expression changed as she exclaimed, âSomeone! Someone! The Fourth Missus has fainted!â
Zhou Ying turned her head and said, âLetâs go back to the manor and leave with our carriage. Weâll go and pick them up now while also taking a look at our manor.â
âAlright.â Gu Chengrui didnât ask any more questions. Instead, he nodded and followed her back to the Imperial Residence.
He told Granny Ma they could drive their carriage to the manor directly if they didnât return at noon.
However, when they passed by their manor, they did not enter. Instead, they went straight to the Zhou familyâs manor.
When they arrived at the manor, the husband and wife went straight to the head of the manor and showed them the contract they had bought.
They went to Qiu Niangâs house together. Unexpectedly, they happened to bump into them as a family eating together.
Seeing Qiu Niang, whose hair was already white and had aged a lot, Zhou Ying felt tears welling inside her. She went forward and cried out, âMother Qiu, Yingâer is back to bring you home.â
Mother Qiu was stunned for a moment. When she saw Zhou Ying, she stood up excitedly. âYingâer! Youâre back. Youâre really back?â
âYes, Iâve already obtained your familyâs contract. Pack up and follow me.â
âGo, where to?â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI have my own house and manor; you can go wherever you want. 1 can return your contract to you if you want to return to your hometown.â
After Qiu Niang heard this, she noticed Gu Chengrui beside her and asked in confusion, âBut isnât the Gu familyâ¦?
âWonât there be any trouble with you returning to the capital?â
âNoâ¦â Zhou Ying shook her head and told them about the reward for the sweet potato.
âGood, good. Itâs good that youâve been exonerated. Thatâs just great!â When Qiu Niang said this, she looked at the food on the table and smiled. âWait a moment, and Iâll make some noodles for you..â
