Chapter 138
"Don't worry about your sister's affairs, just concentrate on raising the baby at your in-law's house." Zhou Duan saw that Zhou Hanyu was hesitant to speak, and said directly.

"Father, that is your own daughter after all, my own sister." How could she really ignore her.Zhou Hanyu added something in his heart.

"I don't have such an unfilial daughter! You don't have such a ruthless sister!" Zhou Duan snorted heavily, his brows furrowed, obviously very angry.

Zhou Hanyu sighed helplessly, and persuaded again: "Whether you can get him back or not, you have to try. I think the little girl is just confused for a while, maybe she has regretted it now."

"Regret! I think that dead girl is desperate. You don't know how long ago she started planning to enter the palace. I asked the maid in her room carefully. Those antique calligraphy and paintings in her room are all these things. How could she do this if she hadn't made up her mind!" Zhou Duan became even more angry when he thought of the information he asked from the maids.

Zhou Hanyu was also silent for a moment when he heard this, and suddenly asked, "Father, I wonder if you have noticed that my sister seems to have changed since the incident with the Sun family last time?"

Although Zhou Duan was in charge of the family business on weekdays and did not spend much time with his wife and children, she could see a little change in her youngest daughter. She thought it was due to changes in the family and her temperament had changed, but she became There are so many, it is indeed a bit strange.

"You mean..." Zhou Duan asked with a frown.

"I think the little girl seems to be hiding something in her heart, and it must be something big, but she didn't tell any of us." Zhou Hanyu guessed.

"What could be the matter? She usually doesn't leave the door, and she doesn't walk through the second door. If there is something wrong, we should know." Zhou Duan couldn't figure it out, and said to himself.

Zhou Hanyu was also confused about this point, she had thought about many possibilities, but she really couldn't think of anything that would make the little girl what she is now.

"Father, no matter what, I think we should find the younger sister as soon as possible, and ask her the reason personally. Although our family is not a big family, we do not worry about food and clothing. My mother even prepared a generous dowry for her. Why did she let her go?" I live a stable and prosperous life, but I want to go to the palace to be the maid who serves people." Zhou Hanyu couldn't figure out what his sister was thinking, so he wanted to find her and ask her.

Zhou Duan seemed to be moved by Zhou Hanyu's words, and after a long time, he sighed and said: "Well, I will secretly send someone to the state capital to look for it, but it depends on God whether I can see him or not."

Zhou Hanyu breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, thought for a while, and then said: "Father, why don't I write a letter to my husband and ask him to help you find out. He is a well-known juren, and it should be more convenient to deal with officials."

"Our family should handle this matter by ourselves. Don't bother your son-in-law. He will have a spring in the next year. It's better not to be distracted now." Zhou Duan shook his head and refused, not wanting to make his family ugly.

Zhou Hanju thought about the shame of this matter, so he gave up the idea of ​​telling her husband.

After Zhou Hanju returned to Jiang's house, he still had family affairs in his heart, so naturally he became more and more depressed. Mrs. Jiang was still living in her mother's house at the moment, and only knew that Mrs. Zhou's family was ill.

Zhou Hanyu couldn't say that he was suffering, so he could only force himself to smile at his in-law's house, hoping that his father would find his sister quickly, so that his mother's illness would recover soon.

Naturally, Mrs. Jiang didn't know about the major events that happened in Zhou's family. After staying at her mother's house for five days, she prepared to go home with her two children.

On the day she left, she looked at Zhou Hanju who was getting thinner and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Why are these siblings getting thinner and thinner? How can the child in her stomach grow well, so she persuaded again: "Sister! , I know you are worried about your in-laws, but you are two people now, and you have to take care of your own health. Don't think too much, take good care of your baby, and when the child is born, I'm still waiting to eat my nephew's three wines. "

"Thank you sister for your concern, I will write it down." Zhou Hanyu replied with a smile. She also knows that she has lost weight recently. It's much better. She has eaten a lot more than before in the past two days, and she should be able to feed back soon.

Only then did Jiang say goodbye to his family with peace of mind.

On the bullock cart returning home, Li Meier hugged Kang Geer and leaned in Jiang's arms, and said very seriously with a small face: "Mother, I think my aunt seems to have something on her mind."

"My aunt's mother is sick, so she has something on her mind." Jiang smiled and stroked her daughter's hair before replying.

Li Mei'er shook her head, "It's not just that, mother, I heard from the little girl in my aunt's room that the younger sister of my aunt's family seems to be sick and has gone to the countryside to recuperate."

When Jiang Shi heard this, she was a little surprised, she didn't know about it, after all, she was not as easy to inquire as Li Meier, she was free all day long, either chatting with this one or that one.

"Didn't you be fine a few days ago? Why did you suddenly get sick and go to the countryside to recuperate? Could it be that the doctors in this town are not as good as those in the countryside?" Mrs. Jiang was very puzzled and said to herself.

"Yes, mother, don't you think this is very strange, I think the second Miss Zhou's family must not be as simple as being ill."

Li Meier said seriously, maybe she is not allowed to elope with someone, isn't it written like this in the scriptbook, the rich lady fell in love with the poor scholar, the master disagreed with their marriage, so the lady and the scholar eloped and lived together Habitat gone.

Li Meier made up a story of a mandarin duck's fate here, but Jiang didn't think so much, she only guessed that the second Miss Zhou family might have some kind of infectious disease, so she went to the countryside to recuperate.

"Okay, don't meddle in your own business, just take care of yourself. All day long, you just think about those unimportant things. It seems that I have to find something for you to do." Jiang was annoyed Educating her daughter carefully, she felt that she seemed to be a little too busy, and wondered if it was time to put the red embroidery work on the agenda.

"Mother, I have been studying with brother Shanqing now, and I have not been idle for the past two days. Before coming to my grandmother's house, brother Shanqing left me homework, and I have done it well." Li Meier said unconvinced, she There is nothing to do there.

When Mrs. Jiang heard Li Meier mention Jiang Shanqing, she felt a little worried. She wondered if the child was doing well at home these few days. Because he had to go to study at the ethnology school every day, Mrs. Jiang didn't take him back to her natal home. I entrusted it to my husband to take care of him. Anyway, he is in the academy during the day, and only at that time at night. In addition, he is a very self-reliant child, so there should be no major problems.
