The Rest of My Life

Sometimes, the elders don't speak reason. Aunt Zhou is still alright, at least she didn't do anything to me. She only pretended to be sick to get Zhou Xun's attention.

This is better than Su Yan. I'm his biological daughter, but he can send me to a mental hospital and kidnap me himself, then send me to Gudong …

Auntie Zhou only wanted Zhou Xun to marry Xiao Wan, so using some tricks was normal.

After this thought flashed across my mind, I hastily replied, "I'm sorry, Aunt. It was my fault."

Zhou Xun narrowed his eyes, his tone becoming stern as he said, "Aunt's health is not good. No matter the reason, you shouldn't let Aunty get angry!"

Naturally, I listened to them all and apologized.

However, Auntie Zhou did not buy it. She sneered, "If you really don't want to make me angry, then hurry up and get out of the Zhou Mansion!"

I paused, but I didn't answer. I just stood there with my eyes lowered.

Zhou Xun said, "Weren't you watching by the side when Aunt fainted?"

Faced with his sudden question, I was stunned.

I hadn't really thought of going over to help her.

Auntie Zhou was obviously trying to flirt with me by pretending to have a heart attack. I was afraid that if I got closer to her, she would get even angrier, so I just stood aside. Afterwards, Uncle Zhou and the rest appeared, fed Aunt Zhou medicine, and carried her back to her room … I didn't think about going up to Auntie Zhou to express my concern …

I just don't want to annoy Auntie Zhou, is that wrong?

However, at this moment, all of my explanations were in vain. I took a deep breath and said, "It was my negligence …"

Zhou Xun didn't wait for me to finish before he turned to Aunt Zhou and said, "I'll make her reflect." He paused, then said, "Aunt, I know that you are very picky of her because you are afraid that she will not be able to take care of me. Actually, she's quite nice. She's someone I like, and to me, she has no flaws. Of course, it is indeed her fault that you are not satisfied with her disrespect to you. I will teach her well. "

Gradually, I began to taste something.

This was what he wanted to suppress first.

First he swore at me, then he showed that he was pleased with me. Then she pointed out that Aunt Zhou didn't like it because I didn't respect her. Finally he said he would teach me slowly.

That is to say, if I respect Aunt Zhou in the future and she gets angry with me again, that will be her problem …

I couldn't help but secretly exclaim in my heart.

Worthy of being Zhou Xun, with just a few words he had thrown the question to Aunt Zhou.

What made me even more happy was that he was still on my side.

Auntie Zhou must have heard what he meant. Her whole face contorted in anger, and her chest heaved violently.

She picked up the teacup on the bedside table and threw it at Zhou Xun, "Don't play any tricks on me! Just tell me, how are we going to deal with her? "

Zhou Xun did not dodge. As the cup hit his shoulder, a loud sound was heard. Drops of water splattered all over his face and hair. The cup fell to the carpet, unbroken, but a corner was knocked against the edge.

The main reason was that the wound on Zhou Xun's shoulder had yet to heal. If he were to be struck in such a manner, the wound might even split open.

I wanted to go up and check on him, but Auntie Zhou was eyeing me fiercely, so I didn't dare move. I could only worry.

Zhou Xun said lightly, "Aunt, don't tell me you don't wish for me to be happy?"

As he spoke, the young woman took a few napkins to wipe the water droplets off his face, but he avoided them.

Little Wan was so upset that her eyes turned red, but she said nothing and quietly walked back to Auntie Zhou's side.

Aunt Zhou saw this and frowned, ready to flare up.

Xiao Wan quickly pulled her hand and shook her head with tears in her eyes. It was probably to prevent her from getting angry.

Only then did Aunt Zhou give up.

I could tell that Auntie Zhou really doted on Little Night. Since Little Night liked Zhou Xun, she definitely wouldn't want him to be disappointed. No wonder she insisted on marrying him.

However, Zhou Xun acted as if he didn't see it at all. He scooped me up in his arms and said, "Aunt, I can only be happy if I think about staying by my side. Since young, you have always doted on me. I hope that you can help me achieve my goal this time around … I will be filial to you with Nian Bing. "

I leaned into him, smelling the faint scent of mint on him, and said nothing.

At a time like this, I'd better not anger Auntie Zhou and just listen to everything.

Auntie Zhou laughed coldly, "I understand. You mean, I have become the evil person that is preventing you from getting happiness?!" Fine, since you want me that much, then I won't stand in your way anymore! I'll go home and not care about you anymore! "

As she spoke, she started to pull the needle from her wrist.

Zhou Xun sighed and hurriedly went forward to coax her, "You've misunderstood me. I just hope that you can slowly accept this."

Auntie Zhou spat, "She made me angry, and you still want me to accept her?!" "Are you going to make me die of anger because of her …"

"You misunderstand again." Zhou Xun interrupted her with a gentle voice, "Since she was the one who angered you, then I will punish her for serving you until you are fully recovered."

As soon as he said that, the room fell silent.

Auntie Zhou did not expect Zhou Xun to give her such a suggestion. She opened her mouth and completely forgot about her anger.

I was surprised, too.

What was he trying to do?

If Aunt Zhou continued to feign illness, would I have to keep wandering in front of Aunt Zhou's eyes?

Wasn't he afraid of Aunt Zhou going crazy?

It was a small matter for me to be wronged, but I was afraid that Auntie Zhou would make a bigger fuss out of it.

After a short period of silence, Aunt Zhou shouted angrily, "Zhou Xun! Do you have to stab me in the heart with a knife? "

She screamed, her emotions on the verge of losing control.

The Little Night hurriedly hugged her and cried out, "Mom, don't be angry … Elder Cousin Xun definitely didn't mean that … You always say that Elder Cousin Xun is the most filial … "You must believe in Elder Cousin Xun …"

Aunt Zhou pushed her away. "He has a wife now and has forgotten his mother!" She suddenly started crying as she patted on the bed, "I worked so hard to get him to grow up, but this is how he repay me. What's the point in me living!"

She was like a woman on the market, crying out loudly, without even the slightest trace of the bearing of a noble lady.

I was flabbergasted.

He looked at Zhou Xun with a dark expression. It was unknown what he was thinking about.

Auntie Zhou cried her heart out. "I'll go and die!"

As she spoke, she tried to pull on the needle again, but just as she reached out her hand, she inexplicably fell backwards, as if she hadn't even been able to catch her breath.

It looked extremely terrifying.

Zhou Xun's expression changed as he called for the doctor outside. He ran forward to support his aunt, saying, "Aunty, it's all my fault. Please don't be angry at yourself."

However, Auntie Zhou slapped his face. "Scram!"

She wasn't very strong, but even so, Zhou Xun's face still had a red mark.

Silence reigned in the room.

Uncle Zhou and his second aunt, as well as their younger cousins and servants from the Zhou family, were all staring at Zhou Xun with their mouths agape, not daring to make a sound.

Auntie Zhou cried, "I don't want to live anymore!" "He's dead!"

The young girl also cried. She looked at Zhou Xun with misty eyes and said gently, "Cousin, you …" You know Mom has a heart attack, so why don't you just go along with her a little bit … "It's good if you pretend to agree to her request …"

She was sobbing softly, her appearance like a pear blossom amidst the rain, causing one to be unable to help feeling pity for her upon seeing her.

Zhou Tong expressionlessly swept his gaze over her, but did not say a word.

I really didn't know what to make of this situation.

Aunty Zhou actually used death as an excuse to separate Zhou Xun from me.

If it were a reasonable elder, perhaps I would still be able to reason with him. However, facing such a elder who was spouting nonsense like Aunt Zhou, what could I do?

Previously, I had considered many difficulties from the Flower Ling-Yun Emperor. Of course, the most difficult part was how to deal with Zhou Xun and his pursuers.

In my mind, in addition to Gu Qiong, there must be many other young mistresses from aristocratic families who were after Zhou Xun like a flock of ducks. They would definitely try their best to make things difficult for me.

As a result, although Gu Qiong did try to kill me, Zhou Xun managed to take her away with lightning speed.

But now, it was Zhou Xun's aunt who was causing trouble.

She doesn't like me. She wants me to get out of the Zhou family. She wants Zhou Xun to marry her adopted daughter …

I stood in the corner and looked at Auntie Zhou, who was surrounded by people.

At this point, Zhou Xun should have no other choice …

In any case, Zhou Xun and I weren't really lovers. He could just fulfill Auntie Zhou's wish to see me off, and then find someone to pretend to be his fiancée.

I couldn't help but wonder, back when GuQiong and Zhou Xun were engaged, did Aunt Zhou also make a scene like this?

However, Gu Qiong's personality was actually even better than Aunt Zhou's. It was just that she didn't know if they had started arguing … So what if it was the attitude of the Zhou family members? What was Zhou Xun's role in this …

I thought, aimlessly, and felt my chest grow heavy, depressed, and uncomfortable.

Uncle Zhou, who had just come back to his senses, went up to hug Aunt Zhou and gently advised her: "Xiao Yi, don't be angry. Be obedient and let the doctor show you, okay?"

Immediately a doctor pushed his way to the bed.

Aunt Zhou gritted her teeth and screamed, "What do I need a doctor for? Just let me die!"

How could the doctor dare to examine her? Trembling to the side, he didn't dare to move.

The situation turned awkward once again.

At this moment, a serious voice came from the door. "What are you doing?"

It was Grandpa Zhou.

He was over seventy years old, but his back was still straight and his legs were nimble. He didn't even need to use a walking stick.

Everyone opened a path for him as he walked in with steady steps. He stared at Aunt Zhou and asked, "What happened to Xiao Yi?"

Auntie Zhou might have been a little afraid of him, but she did not make any more noise. She only shed tears silently.

However, at this moment, her face was pale and filled with tears. She looked as if she had suffered a great grievance and was miserable and pitiful.

Grandpa Zhou's stern gaze swept across everyone before landing on Zhou Xun. "Speak."

Zhou Xun pursed his lips, saying, "It's my fault for angering my aunt."

Yesterday, when Aunt Zhou came back, she had a fit of temper because of me. Grandpa Zhou must be well aware of it.

He stared at Aunt Zhou and said harshly, "I know what you're doing. Let me tell you, I'm the one who made the decision on Ah Xun's marriage. If you're not satisfied, then get out of the Zhou Mansion. Don't recognize me as your father!"

This sentence could be considered as killing the heart.

This time, Auntie Zhou was probably really on fire. She didn't catch a breath, and her face immediately turned pale.

The doctor rushed forward to give first aid.

On the other hand, Uncle Zhou anxiously said, "Dad, don't be angry. Xiaoyi is just muddle-headed …"

At this point, Aunt Zhou had already been stabilized by the doctor. She stared blankly at Grandpa Zhou for a while, then suddenly burst into tears. "Dad, are you going to let me die too …"

Tears rolled down her face. She clutched her chest as if she would faint at any moment.
