Uncle Su was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, "That's my aunt over there. If this thing gets out, I won't have to be an official anymore, and no one will have to live anymore!"

Aunt Qian stood in front of Uncle Su and remained motionless, "This matter will not spread. Even if it does, just say that the old lady is confused. We sent people to watch and prevent her from running out." ? You must also know about Brother Tuan, this matter must be done! With the help of the Meng family, you can rise to the top! Don't waste time with a bitch at this critical moment! "

Uncle Su wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and was finally persuaded to leave.

Pingkangyuan only delivers one meal a day, and soon everyone in the third room knew about it.

Mrs. Su San's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and she feels tired after walking for a while.

Su Lanqiu was naughty and was afraid that Su Lanqiu would accidentally touch her belly, so she asked Zhou Yuanzhen to take Su Lanqiu out to play on weekdays.

Today, Zhou Yuanzhen handed Su Lanqiu to the mothers and hurried to Mrs. Su's side.

Zhou Yuanzhen's face was full of indignation, "Aunt, they have gone too far! The old lady is so pitiful!"

Mrs. Su San's hand peeling the pine nuts paused, and then she continued to peel the pine nuts.

Seeing that Mrs. Su San did not respond, Zhou Yuanzhen begged: "Aunt, we can't just wait until death. Let's go and talk to the eldest lady. We only give you one meal a day. Even if you don't starve to death, you will still get sick from hunger."

Mrs. Su San lowered her head to peel the pine nuts and said calmly: "Don't worry about adults' affairs. If you have such energy, you might as well go home and go out with your mother to meet people. When I was your age, we had already arranged a marriage. The family is embroidering the dowry."

Zhou Yuanzhen was so anxious that she stamped her feet. Facing her closest aunt, she couldn't help but said indiscriminately: "Aunt, how could you ignore death? I thought you... I thought you..."

Looking at Mrs. Su San's swollen belly, she couldn't bear to continue talking.

But her face was full of disappointment.

She originally thought that her aunt was also a kind and upright person.

Mrs. Su San threw the pine nuts in her hand aside, with a bitter and helpless smile, "What can I do? I am a member of the Su family. The Su family is both prosperous and devastated. The Dafang did this dishonorably. , it’s too heartless, but what can I do? If this matter spreads, not only me, but also your uncle, Sister Qiu, and the child in my belly will be implicated. All I can do is pretend I don’t know, what else can I do?”

Zhou Yuanzhen felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on her head, and there was a slight chill in her blood. She whispered: "But now that I know, I can't just watch the old lady suffer. The old lady also loves me. Aunt, how about that?" Let’s quietly bring some food in.”

Mrs. Su San touched her belly and said, "Now I just want the child to be born safely, and I don't care about anything else. Yuanzhen, why don't you go home and stay for a few days, out of sight."

Zhou Yuanzhen gritted his teeth and went out.

Her heart was anxious and she could not find peace for a moment.

Not to mention that Mrs. Su also loved her, let's just say that she and Yun Jiao were good sisters.

To Yunjiao, Mrs. Su is like a direct grandmother.

Even for Yun Jiao, Zhou Yuanzhen felt that he could not ignore her.

Late at night, everything in the Su family was quiet and peaceful, except in Pingkang courtyard.

You can only eat one meal a day. Even a strong person can't bear it, let alone the elderly Mrs. Su?
Several young maids in Shichun shared the meals and left all the savings to Mrs. Su to ensure that Mrs. Su could have three meals a day.

Late at night, several maids were too hungry to sleep, so they drank water desperately.

Fortunately, there is a well in Pingkang Courtyard, so we won't be unable to drink water.

Mrs. Su couldn't sleep. She sat by the window and looked at the situation outside. She couldn't help but sigh, "I asked you to suffer with me."

Shichun said quickly: "Old madam, don't say that. The slaves don't feel any pain at all, and it's okay to skip a meal. The slaves are just worried about Mother Zheng. She doesn't know where the madam is imprisoning her."

Life has been so difficult in Pingkang Yuan, and it is even more difficult to come to Zheng's mother's house.

Mother Zheng was a strict person, and the servants in Pingkangyuan were afraid of her, but they also respected her.

Mrs. Su sighed.

Suddenly, there was some unusual movement outside, as if something was thrown in.Shichun immediately raised the alarm and hurriedly went out to check.

Several maids were already gathered there. Shichun walked over and took a look, only to see a bundle lying on the ground.

Shichun untied the belt and saw that it contained raw chicken, duck and fish meat.

There was still some blood on the chicken, duck and fish meat, which was very fresh.

Shichun frowned, and his first thought was whether these things were poisoned?

"Is there anyone?"

A very light sound came from across the wall, almost covered up by the chirping of insects.

Shichun walked over and said in the same low voice: "Who are you?"

"It's me, Zhou Yuanzhen, you must be Shichun."

Shichun also heard Zhou Yuanzhen's voice and suddenly became excited, "Miss Zhou, it's you!"

"You eat the chicken, duck and fish first, the old lady is too weak to recover. I will bring it over in a few days, so you all get out of the way."

Hearing this, Shichun pulled several maids aside.

Suddenly, a louder and muffled sound sounded. Shichun and others looked and saw that a bag of rice was thrown over.

With this bag of rice, I can finally hold on for a few more days.

Shichun was so moved that she almost cried, "Miss Zhou, please leave quickly before anyone finds you. By the way, I want to ask you a favor..."

Zhou Yuanzhen put his ear to the wall and listened to Shichun's words attentively, "Don't worry, I've written it all down. I'm leaving first."

Shichun then ordered the maid to hide these things in the house.

After hiding, the woman who was guarding outside the yard came in.

They also heard unusual noises in Pingkang Courtyard.

The mother-in-law saw the maid standing in the yard, frowned and asked, "What are you doing in the yard without sleeping at night?"

Shichun put his hands on his hips and cursed angrily: "None of your business! Get out! Villains are not welcome in Pingkang Courtyard!"

The woman went out cursing.

Shichun breathed a sigh of relief and quickly told Mrs. Su the good news.

With Zhou Yuanzhen secretly helping them, they could survive for a while.

With the help of Zhou Xingsheng, Zhou Yuanzhen climbed over the wall to outside Su's house.

Zhou Xingsheng shook his sore arm.

In order to show off his strength, he just threw the ten-pound bag of rice from one side of the wall to the other. It could be said that he used all his strength.

Although he forced Prince Zhen to practice martial arts at a young age, it was just an empty show.

Now my arms are sore and painful, and I probably won’t be able to lift them tomorrow.

He noticed the way Zhou Yuanzhen looked at him and guessed that Zhou Yuanzhen was going to mock him again. (End of chapter)
