Chapter 137
What happened was like this, since the eldest lady of the Zhou family, Zhou Hanyu, got married, the second lady, Zhou Hanhan, didn't go out very much, but because she had reached the age of marriage, Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Qin were worried about her marriage, so she also He would take her out to meet guests from time to time, but she didn't cooperate very much every time she went out, either pretending to be sick or losing her temper and unwilling to go out. After a few times, Qin didn't take her out anymore.

Zhou Hanhan stayed at home for a while, and somehow fell in love with worshiping Buddha. At first, he just set up a Buddhist altar at home, and later he often took his maids to the Guanyin Temple in the east of the town to offer incense.

Qin thought it would be good to let her go out more, so she didn't restrain her too much.

On this day, Zhou Hanhan went out with her maid as usual, but in the evening, she didn't see her back home. Qin was a little anxious, so she sent her family servants to the Guanyin Temple to find someone, but only found the drowsy girl. Unconscious maid.

Mrs. Qin hurriedly asked someone to pour water on the maid to wake her up, and anxiously asked her daughter's whereabouts, but the maid was still dazed, and only remembered that Zhou Hanhan gave her a piece of cake, and then she fell asleep. Where did he go, but he didn't know.

Qin was anxious and angry, and didn't bother to blame the maid, so she took all the servants in the family and went to the temple to find someone, until she searched the Guanyin Temple inside and out, but found no one.

Qin was so anxious that she was about to report to the police, fearing that her daughter would be taken away by the gangsters, but she was also afraid that if the news spread, her daughter's reputation would be damaged, and marriage would be even more difficult in the future, so she suppressed her anxiety and waited for her husband and The son came back to discuss.

As the head of the family, Zhou Duan is naturally much calmer than the woman Qin. After listening to his wife explain the whole story, he felt that his daughter was not kidnapped by bad guys, but ran away by herself. Go to Zhou Hanhan's room and look for any clues left by her.

The Qin family only went to the Guanyin Temple to look for her daughter, so naturally she didn't have time to check her room. After checking, she really found many clues.

First of all, all the valuables in Zhou Hanhan's room were gone, not to mention the gold and silver jewellery, even the original valuable antique furnishings in the room were replaced with fakes at some point, and the servants were still in the dressing box. A letter from Zhou Hanhan was found in the lower drawer.

After Zhou Duan finished reading the left letter, his face turned blue with anger, he threw the letter on Qin's face, and cursed: "Look, this is the good daughter you taught!"

Qin's face was still at a loss at this time, picked up the letter and read it, only to realize that her daughter had bought a place to be a maid in the palace behind her family's back, and entered the palace in place of a good family son, so that they don't have to. find her.

Qin Shidang burst into tears, tugging on Zhou Duan's sleeve and begging: "Master, master, you must think of a way, and you must get Han'er back!"

"What can I do? That girl has probably gone to the state capital with the selection team at the moment, and we don't know whose place she is replacing, and this maid selection has always only selected good families. We are merchants, and our daughters are not qualified to enter the palace, if the selected officials know that Han'er enters the palace under the false name of a good family son, it will be a serious crime of beheading!"

Zhou Duan flicked his sleeves, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he told Qin about the serious relationship.

When Qin heard this, all thoughts were lost, and she cried loudly, "Then what to do! What to do! My daughter..."

Zhou Duan was more and more disturbed by Qin's crying. Although he felt sorry for his daughter, he was more annoyed. He didn't understand how his daughter, who was originally well-behaved and sensible, could become so daring now, and enter the palace with an impostor , if found out, their whole family will be implicated by her.

"Don't cry, our family will treat it as if there is no daughter in the future. You only say that she is sick and went to the countryside to recuperate. After a while, you will send her a funeral. Just treat her as dead."

Zhou Duan closed his eyes and made a decision. He is a businessman, so he naturally knows how to avoid risks the most. Since his unfilial daughter doesn't even want her own parents and family members, then as parents, they will treat it as if they never had this Girl, no matter whether she is alive or dead, prosperous or downcast, she has nothing to do with their Zhou family.

Naturally, the Qin family did not have such a hard heart as Zhou Duan. Due to excessive grief, he fell ill that night. Zhou Hanyu also received the news that his mother was seriously ill the next day, and returned home in a hurry.

The Qin family has always been an uninitiated person. The youngest daughter left a book and ran away, and her husband decided to give up on this daughter. She could only regard the eldest daughter as the last straw and pin all her hopes on her.

"Han, what do you think? Han'er left without knowing whether he was dead or alive. Your father was so angry that he thought your sister was dead, but Han'er is the flesh that fell from me. How can I be willing!" Qin shi cried again as she spoke, she was so out of breath from crying that she almost passed out.

Zhou Hanxi felt sorry for his mother, and quickly patted her on the back, comforting her: "Mother, don't be too sad, your body is important, isn't the younger sister not yet in the palace, she should have arrived at the county seat by now, think of a way, maybe I can still see her."

"Is it possible? Can you really bring him back?" The Qin family looked at Zhou Hanyu expectantly.

"Send some money, maybe you can meet someone." Zhou Hanyu knew that there was little hope in her heart, and it was so easy to see those women who were about to enter the palace, but in order to appease her mother, she could only say this first.

"You can tell mother how much money you need, as long as you can get Han'er back, it doesn't matter how much money you have." Qin Shi held Zhou Hanju's hand, and his eyes brightened.

"Mother, don't worry, leave this matter to me. The most important thing for you now is to take care of your health. Don't wait for the little sister to come back. Your health will collapse again." Zhou Hanyu comforted Qin Shi softly, and took the The maid handed over the soup and medicine, and fed the medicine to Qin herself.

With tears in her eyes, Qin nodded, drank the medicine from the medicine bowl, and fell asleep after a while.

Seeing his mother fast asleep, Zhou Hanju sighed, covered her with the quilt, got up and left, and went to Zhou Duan's study.

"Father, mother has already taken medicine and fell asleep." Zhou Hanyu said to Zhou Duan.

"Thank you for your hard work. You are pregnant now, but you have to run back and forth." Zhou Duan stood in front of the table with his hands behind his back, and said with a sigh. It eased a lot.

"I am the daughter of my parents, so I should do these things naturally." After Zhou Hanyu said this, he hesitated to speak, not knowing what to say about his younger sister, for fear of making his father angry again if he said too much.
