Chapter 18

The shadows of the trees are swaying, their postures are mottled, the night wind is silent, and the weak lights are flickering.

There were only mother and daughter Sun Xiumin and Gao Lingzhou in the room.

Sun Xiumin sat on the couch with a cold face, an expression that said she hated iron and steel: "Ah Zhou, kneel down!"

Gao Lingzhou didn't know why, but he still knelt down in front of Sun Xiumin obediently, "Mother, what mistake did I make, and you want to punish me to kneel down?"

This question made Sun Xiumin even more angry, "You still don't know your mistake? You go to the banquet house every day, which is longer than you stay at your own home? Have you forgotten that your aunt almost killed Ruizhi, Yingzhu What about stabbing Ruizhi again? Why don't you remember anything? You have to be with those bad guys!"

Gao Lingzhou felt very aggrieved and said with a flat mouth: "Mom, of course I have not forgotten it, but the matter has passed. My aunt came to the house to apologize, and my sister also forgave my aunt and cousin, and..."

And it was Sun Xiumin who relied on his kindness in raising Qin Ruizhi to force Qin Ruizhi to swallow this breath.

However, Gao Lingzhou did not dare to say this in front of Sun Xiumin.

"...Now that the matter has been settled, why can't I go to the Yan Mansion? Cousin Yingzhu is going to marry in Kyoto soon, and I will never see her again even if I want to."

After saying that, Gao Lingzhou glanced at his mother guiltily, then lowered his head.

This ignorant daughter wants to piss her off to death.

Sun Xiumin was so stunned that she almost couldn't breathe. She stroked her chest and said in a deep voice: "Yes, did your sister forgive your aunt and Yingzhu, or did I force her to forgive? After all, she is my biological sister. If I If not, your aunt will be imprisoned, at least exiled, or at worst beheaded. If I don’t ask your sister to forgive them, how can I just watch her live here?"

Gao Lingzhou muttered in a low voice: "Then I'd better forgive them!"

The weak voice was still caught by Sun Xiumin. He jumped up angrily and kicked Gao Lingzhou. He said with hatred: "I said that with all my heart, but you didn't listen to a word. Even if your sister forgave them, how could your aunt and Can Yingzhu's murder of Ruizhi be treated as if nothing happened? You should treat it as if it never happened and stay close to them. There are no children in the Gao family who are weak like you."

Gao Lingzhou has been listening to the story of the ancestors of the Gao family who followed Emperor Gaozu to conquer the world since he was a child. He has always been proud of being a member of the Gao family. The blood of the Gao family flows in his body, carrying the pride and blood of the Gao family.

But Sun Xiumin shattered her pride as a member of the Gao family with just one word. Gao Lingzhou burst into tears and grabbed the corner of her mother's clothes: "Mom, I don't have any bones, nor am I intimate with cousin Yingzhu. I Just... just..."

Because Qin Ruizhi seduced Su Pan back to Beijing, and was rumored to have gone to the banquet house to beg for herself as a concubine, Qin Ruizhi's reputation fell to the bottom.

Along with them, the Gao sisters are also notorious. It is said that County Magistrate Gao failed to teach his daughter well and the lintel of the family was ruined.From the officials to the merchants, no family was willing to marry the Gao family, and even the matchmakers who proposed marriage were not willing to visit.

The Gao sisters are not young either, and should have reached the age of marriage long ago.

"In Puzhou, no one is willing to marry us. Cousin Yingzhu promised me that when she gets married in Kyoto, she will ask the mother-in-law in Kyoto to help arrange a decent marriage for my sister and me. I thought, if You are destined to be unable to get married in Puzhou and become an old girl, so why not go to Kyoto and maybe find a good match?"

Gao Lingzhou felt aggrieved: "Mother, I know I was wrong. I promise you that I will never go to the Yan family again, and I will never dare to think about marrying to Kyoto again."

Sun Xiumin's nose felt sore and there were tears in her eyes.

Her two daughters have reached the age of marriage. At first, they were not allowed to get married in front of Ruizhi, so they suppressed their marriage. Later, Ruizhi and Su Pan returned to Beijing, and the reputation of the Gao family was ruined. No one comes to kiss me anymore.In the final analysis, it was their fault as parents. They neither considered the future of their two daughters nor taught Ruizhi well, which led to the current situation.

Sun Xiumin wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and helped Gao Lingzhou up from the ground, "It is a matter of course for the daughter of the Gao family to marry to Kyoto, how could it be Xiao Xiang? But, A Zhou, you don't need to curry favor at all. Your cousin Yingzhu."

Sun Xiumin sighed and continued: "It's also my fault that mother didn't tell you in advance. I originally planned to take you two back to Kyoto after your cousin got married, and let your aunts in Kyoto help find a decent marriage. The aunts all come from noble families, live in Kyoto all year round, and know many people, so they can always find the right one."

"Really?" Gao Lingzhou's eyes lit up, full of joy, and then dimmed again: "Mother, we went to Kyoto, what should dad do?"

Sun Xiumin said firmly: "Of course your father will return to Kyoto with us."

"But..." Gao Lingzhou looked at his mother in confusion: "Can daddy really go back with us?"

"Of course I can." Sun Xiumin stroked her daughter's shoulder and rubbed it carefully: "I will definitely do it. Your father handled the refugees in Xiangzhou properly this time. Puzhou did not suffer from the chaos and the people did not suffer from it. He will definitely be appreciated. Be reused. Our hard days in Puzhou are finally coming to an end."

"Mom, you mean daddy is coming soon..." Gao Lingzhou shouted excitedly. Before he could finish his words, Sun Xiumin covered his mouth and whispered softly: "Azhou, please don't make any noise about the undecided matters. . Just be careful these days and never provoke your sister. Everything is fine and there must be no extra trouble."

"Ok!"

Gao Lingzhou nodded heavily, feeling obviously much happier.

........................

The back kitchen of Gao's house.

The door creaked open, a weak fire was lit, and then a second lamp was lit. Through the weak light, you could see the heat rising from the stove.

Gao Lingchu opened the lid of the pot, and the rice was still hot on the stove.

A bowl of white rice, a bowl of chicken soup, a plate of fried beef, and two vegetarian dishes were the Gao family's dinner, leaving a portion of each for Qin Ruizhi.

There was a small low table in the kitchen. Gao Lingchu brought the reserved food to the table, placed bowls and chopsticks for Qin Ruizhi, and called Qin Ruizhi to come over to eat: "Sister, are you hungry? Come and eat quickly."

Qin Ruizhi went out to eat in the morning and prepared dry food before going out. Unfortunately, Pei Xingheng made a fuss at the city gate, which disturbed her mood. She lost her horse and didn't eat all day.

Wait...there seems to be something not quite right...

Qin Ruizhi suddenly remembered that she seemed to have been tricked by Pei Xingheng into signing something at the city gate.

Forget it, it’s just one word, it won’t cause any big problems.
