Chapter 170

In the next few days, Mrs. Zhou finally realized what Yuan Zhao meant when he said that 'good times' are to come.

Because she couldn't speak now and could only lie on the bed, the servants who served her were obviously not that attentive.

Now she can't take care of herself and has to rely on the maids and slaves for everything. They were a little better at first, but after a few days, they didn't see the master of the house come to visit, and each one of them began to ignore her.

Her daily meals are so poor that it is unbearable to watch, only cold food, and the servants put on a posture that if you want to eat, you will not eat it, or if you don't eat it, you will be pulled down.

Her dowry maid and the old nanny who followed her were sold when she was in a coma, and the reason was very good, because of poor service.

Now, Mrs. Zhou is lying on the bed in a state of incompetence.

In just a few days, she became visibly thinner.

She began to think about what Yen Zhao said.

Bao Liang was indeed taught by her to her children, and she also taught by precepts and deeds that people should not be punished for their own sake.

However, she never thought that one day she would suffer the consequences.

Two more days later, Mrs. Zhou finally waited for Father Zhou to come, and there was hope again in her cloudy eyes.

It's not in vain that I love this eldest son the most, and now he is the only one who still has some conscience.

As soon as Madam Zhou was thinking this, she heard Father Zhou ask:
"Mother, where do you keep your private money?"

Mrs. Zhou's heart suddenly went cold.

Father Zhou had no idea what a blow his words had given his mother. He continued:
"You are also aware of the situation in the mansion now. Even the Duke and the Duke have no money. The huge Marquis Mansion is entirely supported by the money of my son."

He does not hold any official position now, he is just a marquis, and he only earns a hundred taels of silver per month.

This money can be used for a year in ordinary people's homes, but it is no longer enough in this prince's mansion.

Moreover, Zhou's father did not give up. He always wanted to turn over, so after the limelight in the past few days, he began to go out frequently again, hoping to find some of his former colleagues and friends to see if he could find an official position.

With an official position and a half-job, there will be opportunities in the future.

It doesn't cost money to go out to get some food, and a meal is more than a hundred taels, so he has no money for a long time.

He also went to Gongzhong to look at it, but there were only a dozen or so taels of silver, so he turned his mind on Mrs. Zhou.

"Son, this is all for the future of the Hou Mansion, I think mother will understand!"

Father Zhou used what Mrs. Zhou had said before to silence her.

"So, mother, tell your son where your private money is?"

He also knew that Mrs. Zhou was now unable to move or speak, so he said directly:

"You point to your son."

Seeing his eager look, Mrs. Zhou's heart sank completely.

For so many days, he hasn't been here once, and he came today to get money from him.

This is the good son he raised!
Mrs. Zhou closed her eyes in disappointment, and didn't look at Father Zhou again.

Seeing Mrs. Zhou's attitude, Zhou's father turned cold and said:
"Mother, you are like this now, why are you still holding on to that money?"

"My son knows that you have money to protect yourself. If you show it, my son will promise to treat you well in the future."

However, Mrs. Zhou remained unmoved no matter what he said. In the end, Father Zhou lost his temper and dropped a lot of things.

Suddenly thought of something, he ran directly to Mrs. Zhou's makeup box.

Once opened, there was indeed a lot of jewelry inside.

Father Zhou hugged her and left without thinking.

There is no airtight wall in the world, and Mrs. Zhou's yard was already being watched by many people.

This move of his immediately caused the Yongning Hou Mansion to stir up trouble.
