Daliang female chief assistant

Chapter 15 Variables
Zhou Hui took off his mask, walked to the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it in one gulp before answering her question.

"According to your instructions, I went to Li Lin's hometown, and I heard from people in his hometown that the Li family's female family members have never gone back."

"What about Mrs. Li's family?" Zhou Shu asked.

Zhou Hui shook his head, "I haven't seen them either."

Hearing this, Zhou Shu's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

Even if this result was expected by her, but hearing such an answer with her own ears, she still couldn't help feeling regretful and angry.

For their own benefit, those people even went as far as to spare the helpless female relatives!

The hands hidden under the sleeves were clenched tightly, and his face was flushed with anger.

After entering Xiangzhou City, Zhou Hui secretly went to Li Lin's hometown and his wife's hometown to investigate the whereabouts of Li's female family members.

After a whole day, I don't even have time to drink saliva.

He was hungry and thirsty at the moment, so he drank three or four sips of tea, barely suppressing the dry and bitter taste in his mouth.

Looking up, Zhou Shu was standing two or three steps away from the table, trembling with anger, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He walked over and patted her on the back lightly.

"A Ci, stop thinking about it."

Pulling her to sit down at the table, "A Ci, don't punish yourself for the fault of those bad people."

As he spoke, he squatted in front of her and broke her clenched fists apart.

Seeing that the palm of his hand had already been pinched out of blood, his heart ached again.

Sighing, "You usually look calm and stable, but when you encounter injustice, you are always so easily agitated."

"Brother..."

At this moment Zhou Shu had already adjusted his mood. Seeing Zhou Hui's eyes filled with deep worry, he lowered his head in embarrassment, and his voice was dull.

"Brother, I'm sorry, I made you worry again."

"A Ci, I'm your elder brother, you don't have to be as polite as me." Zhou Hui felt a pain in his heart when he saw that she was still bowing her head and obediently obeying the instructions.

He raised his hand and rubbed her head, not continuing this topic.

"Just before I entered the house, I heard General Fengtian tell you about tomorrow's plan, Ah Ci, what are your plans?"

The words that were plausible in front of Wen Yuting, but facing Zhou Hui at this moment, she was a little speechless.

She has been raised in Zhou's family for twelve years, Zhou's parents treated her like their own, and Zhou Hui treated her like a pearl like a treasure, never seeing her get hurt in the slightest.

If I let him know, I have decided to personally take care of the people infected with the plague.

Say nothing and will not agree.

Zhou Shu's face showed embarrassment, his mouth was always eloquent, but for the first time he stuttered and couldn't speak.

"Aci?" Seeing that she was silent, Zhou Hui asked again, "What plans do you have?"

"Brother." Zhou Shu came back to his senses and lied in front of him for the first time, "It's the young master who wants to go hunting tomorrow, so I told General Wang to take care of the young master so that he doesn't get hurt. .”

"Wen Yuting, you haven't been honest for a day, and you're about to cause trouble again."

Hearing that Wen Yuting was going to go hunting, Zhou Hui snorted angrily, "It seems that you and I think highly of him."

"His Majesty asked him to serve as the governor of Xiangzhou, and to investigate the whereabouts of the relief money with General Fengtian. He is fine. You are busy there, and he is clamoring to go hunting. Didn't he intend to cause trouble for you?"

The more Zhou Hui talked, the angrier he became. He was annoyed at Wen Yuting's lack of priorities, and felt extremely distressed at Zhou Shu's busy schedule.

Immediately rushed to Wen Yuting to ask him to reason.

Zhou Shu blinked guiltily, and hurriedly pulled him back to change the subject.

"Brother, you must be hungry after running outside all day, right? I'll ask Fu Xiu to cook something for you, brother."

Speaking of food, Zhou Hui was really hungry.

Pulled by Zhou Shu, he sat back on the stool again.

After a while, Fuxiu came over with a bowl of noodles, and made some delicious snacks with small plates.

Zhou Hui looked at the fragrant noodles in front of him, rubbed his hands together, picked up his chopsticks, and started to eat big mouthfuls, regardless of how polite he was.

After a while, a bowl of noodles bottomed out.

He touched his still somewhat shriveled stomach, and then smiled at Zhou Shu.

"Ah Ci, Fuxiu is really good at cooking." He said, pushing the noodle bowl forward, "Good Fuxiu, let's go and give you a bowl for me, Eldest Young Master."

Hearing this, the corners of his mouth curled up, he picked up the bowl, and got down.

It was probably another cup of tea.

Fu Xiu came in with two bowls of noodles and placed them in front of Zhou Hui.

When Zhou Hui saw the two bowls, his eyes lit up on the spot.

"It's so flicking, you really understand me."

After the words fell, I couldn't wait to eat again.

After two bowls of noodles, Zhou Hui was completely full.

After hiccupping, he stood up and touched his swollen stomach, and sighed, "It's really comfortable."

Seeing his contented and happy face, Zhou Shu bent the corners of his eyes, and looked at Fu Xiu with a smile.

Then said: "Brother, you will laugh at you if you fling your sleeves like this."

Hearing this, Zhou Hui coughed lightly, turned around and saw that Fu Xiu was covering his mouth and sniggering, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face.

He quickly said, "It's late, Ah Ci, you should rest first, I'm going back to my room."

After finishing speaking, I left.

After Zhou Hui left, the smile on Zhou Shu's face faded immediately.

Thinking about tomorrow, I have no sleep all night.

The next morning.

As soon as Zhou Shu got up, he heard the noise in the yard.

She motioned to flick her sleeves to go out and have a look.

Fu Xiu took the order, went out to have a look, and after a while, hurried back again.

Out of breath, he said, "My lord, something is wrong."

"What's the panic?"

For some reason, her eyebrows suddenly jumped violently.

Then he heard Fu Xiu swallow his saliva again, and continued: "The Eldest Young Master and the Young Lord almost got into a fight, but the County Chancellor said at the side, saying..."

"say what?"

She was anxious, and hurried out, followed by her flicking sleeves, also almost crying in anxiety.

"The county magistrate said that some of the victims were infected with the plague, and now they are in a state of panic, so I ask you, my lord, what should you do?"

"what?"

Hearing this, Zhou Shu staggered.

Fortunately, she held onto the door frame in time to prevent her from falling.

With a stiff body, he looked back at Fuxiu, then stood firm and walked out quickly.

In the yard, Zhou Hui roughly snatched the whip from Wen Yuting's hand.

"Young Lord, Your Majesty asked you to come to Xiangzhou City to investigate the whereabouts of the relief money, not to visit the mountains and rivers!" Zhou Hui scolded with furious eyebrows.

Being robbed of his horsewhip and embarrassing himself in public, Wen Yuting also lost his temper.

There was hostility between the brows, the thin lips curled up in a smile, and the black eyes glowed with a cold gleam.

"Zhou Hui, usually I don't care about you because of Zhou Shu's face, but you have committed crimes several times, because you really think I dare not do anything to you?"

"Give me back the whip!"

"Don't think about it." Zhou Hui didn't take any threats from him, and hid his horsewhip behind his back, "With me, Zhou Hui, here today, you don't want to go out to hunt in the city."

Elm head!

Wen Yuting's eyes turned red with anger, the two brothers were more irritating than the other.

Gritting his teeth, he tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, "Zhou Hui, things are not what you think. When Zhou Shu comes out, you can ask him personally."

"Now, I have to go out of the city. If you dare to stop me again, don't blame me for being rude."
