The Rest of My Life

I was stunned.

I really thought that if I apologized to her, she would stop causing trouble. Yet, she made me kneel for two hours?

In this society, no matter how bad their relationship was, there was no mother-in-law who would allow their daughter-in-law to kneel down, right?!

This is not ancient!

There was an indescribable feeling in my heart.

Yes, I did want to curry favor with Zhou Xun, and I have indeed signed a contract with him.

If she were to continue tormenting me like this, I wouldn't be willing to follow her wishes.

Alright, didn't she want to chase away the woman by Zhou Xun's side? I want to see if she can be such a monster for her entire life! Zhou Xun has to get married and have children. I'll wait and see if he marries a little night!

Aunt Zhou was still picking on me, "Ah Xun, look at her expression. She really wanted to eat me! I said she didn't have any sincerity! "

I sneered.

In any case, I was planning on leaving the job, so I might as well let her slander me as she pleases.

Zhou Xun's eyes slowly swept across my face.

His eyes were deep and serene, like a deep pool. The dense fog made it difficult for others to understand what he was thinking.

Just as I was wondering what he was going to say, he suddenly said, "Auntie, I'll go and kneel for you."

I was so shocked I almost forgot to breathe.

He's going to kneel for me?!

I don't believe that he couldn't tell that Auntie Zhou was purposely making things difficult for me … Why did he have to take matters into his own hands? Was he planning to let her do whatever she wanted, no matter how much Aunt Zhou messed around with him?

Available... It was laughable to be forced to kneel!

I clenched my hands into fists and stared at him in disbelief.

Everyone in the room seemed to be shocked and looked at him.

Little Wan was even more surprised, "Elder Cousin Xun, it's not your fault, why did you kneel?!"

Aunt Zhou was also stunned. "Ah Xun, you …"

Zhou Xun said indifferently, "It is my fortune to be my fiancee when she is willing to be with me. I made her filial to my aunt because I respected her, but I couldn't bear to see her suffer. "Since she did the wrong thing, I must take it on with her.

Once he said that, the room became quiet again.

A few seconds later, Aunt Zhou wailed, "You still have to protect this bitch!"

Zhou Xun admitted his mistake in a very good manner, lowering his eyebrows and saying, "Aunty, I'm sorry."

Maybe it was because he insisted on taking responsibility for me, but it really made Auntie Zhou sad. She leaned into Uncle Zhou's arms and started to cry.

Zhou Xun walked silently to the door and was about to kneel.

The Little Night immediately rushed over and hugged his arm tightly. "Elder Cousin Xun, don't be like this! It's not your fault! "

Zhou Xun ignored her and knelt down.

His kneeling caused everyone to be stunned.

I burst into tears.

Xiao Wan turned to Auntie Zhou and cried, "Mom, quickly say something!"

Aunt Zhou glared at Zhou Xun. Then, as if she had gone mad, she jumped off the bed.

She rushed in front of me and slapped me in the face. "Bitch, are you just going to watch him kneel? Do you even have any conscience?! "

I covered my face without even looking at her.

Wasn't she having a heart attack? Wasn't she weak and powerless? Didn't she have to rest in her bed? How could she have the strength to jump off the bed and extend her hand so vigorously?! That slap of hers was no less powerful than a man's!

What was even more laughable was that she actually went back on her word.

Clearly, everything was caused by her! If she doesn't do anything, why would Zhou Xun kneel for me!

Anger burned in my heart, but I didn't want to argue with her. I just watched Zhou Xun quietly.

He knelt on the ground and looked up at me.

Their eyes met.

I would never have imagined that he would do this.

He perfectly paraphrased the role of a man wedged between his own mother and his daughter-in-law.

Available... He really didn't need to do that.

Why did he have to coax Auntie Zhou?

Auntie Zhou had to have a limit to how much she could play, and if he allowed her to do that, it would only fuel her anger.

I wanted to ask him what he wanted to do.

Was he going to be wronged forever?

Just as he was about to speak, he lightly shook his head at me. There was even a hint of pleading in his eyes.

My heart was filled with grief.

He had always been decisive in killing, but when had he ever revealed such a pleading expression?

I wanted to rush over and pull him up.

However, he didn't allow me to move or say anything. All of my grief, anger and melancholy could only be hidden deep within my heart.

I burst into tears.

The young woman was also crying as she hugged Zhou Xun's arm and tugged at him. "Cousin, please get up!"

Zhou Xun remained motionless.

Little Wan cried especially hard. Seeing that she couldn't pull him away, she squatted down and knelt on the ground with him!

Then, she turned to Aunt Zhou while crying and said, "Mom, please forgive Junior-apprentice Sister Nian. If not, my cousin will be the one suffering!"

I frowned slightly.

She was implying that I had implicated Zhou Xun …

Sure enough, Auntie Zhou was staring at me fiercely again, her eyes sharp as a sword, as if she was going to stab me.

I looked away in silence.

Such an elder is not worthy of my respect.

Perhaps because she saw my disdain, Aunt Zhou screamed: "Stinking bitch, what kind of expression is that, you actually dare to despise me?!"

I lowered my head, still pretending to be mute.

However, Zhou Xun called out in displeasure, "Recite!"

I secretly sighed in my heart. It seemed that he still wanted me to follow along with Aunt Zhou. I could only say, "No, Aunt, I was wrong."

Auntie Zhou sneered, "Then hurry and pull Ah Xun up. Go and kneel by yourself!"

I gritted my teeth and didn't move again.

The main reason is that my heart is a little repulsed. I haven't even kneeled down to my grandfather or mother, so how can I kneel down to a person who makes trouble for no reason?

Zhou Xun said in a low voice, "There's no need for that. Aunty, I've already said that I won't let my thoughts suffer."

Auntie Zhou's expression changed for a moment before she said fiercely, "Fine, then just kneel! "Don't get up until you've knelt for two hours!"

The young night cried until she was out of breath. "Mom, you can't treat cousin like this …" She pulled at Zhou Xun's wrist again, looking at him with tears in her eyes. "Cousin, this isn't your fault. Why are you being punished? Can you please get up?"

Unfortunately, both Auntie Zhou and Zhou Xun ignored her.

She sobbed and suddenly stared straight at me. "Sis Nian, all of this happened because of you. Hurry up and tell me …" Do you have the heart to watch your cousin kneel? "

I sneered in my heart.

What do you mean everything started because of me?

It was clearly her foster mother's willfulness that was purposely targeting me.

Her foster mother thought the soup was too hot, but the steaming bowl of soup fell on my head.

My hair and face were now soaked with soup, and the greasy feeling almost made me vomit.

But she lied with her eyes wide open and pushed the blame on me.

I really don't understand this family. Zhou Xun was brought up by Aunt Zhou, so it's fine if he doesn't want to go against her. However, Uncle Zhou and his two sons also stood to the side silently. No matter how angry Aunt Zhou was, no matter what kind of tricks she played, they didn't blame her in the slightest.

Were they just going to let Auntie Zhou mess around like this?

I grit my teeth and clench my fists, thinking to myself, Let's just drop this! I don't want to play with them anymore. I don't want to play with a reckless woman!

But before I could move, the voice of the butler, Uncle Wang, rang out from the entrance, "Third Young Master, why are you kneeling here?"

Uncle Wang was the person that Grandpa Zhou trusted the most. His arrival caused the atmosphere to freeze.

He frowned as he walked into the room. He looked at Aunt Zhou and asked, "Young Yi, what's going on?"

Auntie Zhou was probably worried about Grandpa Zhou, so she pretended to be weak and laid back on the bed. "Nothing …" We're having fun. "

She was too embarrassed to say that she was joking. Zhou Xun was already kneeling on the ground!

Uncle Wang turned around and glanced at Zhou Xun before turning back to me. "Miss Nian, what happened to you?"

I was hesitating, why don't we just go and complain to Grandpa Zhou.

Judging from his forceful attitude from yesterday, he probably wouldn't have allowed Auntie Zhou to do whatever she wanted.

But I thought of Zhou Xun...

I looked up at him. His eyes were deep and steady.

I sighed, but remained where I was.

Aunt Zhou was already lying on the bed, her voice weak as she said: "Just now, she accidentally knocked over the soup. I was just reprimanding her, but in the end, A-Xun couldn't bear it anymore and went to kneel down by himself … Uncle Wang, later you should clearly explain this to dad so that he won't worry. "

The sneer in my heart intensified.

She put the blame on me and said Zhou Xun had volunteered to kneel … She had really left herself completely alone!

Uncle Wang nodded but didn't accept her words. Instead, he looked at me and said, "Miss Nian, quickly go and wash up."

I just didn't want to stay here any longer.

However, I immediately remembered that Zhou Xun was still kneeling on the ground … How can I leave him and run...

Fortunately, Uncle Wang immediately said, "Third young master, the leader is looking for you."

Zhou Xun was silent for a moment, before saying, "Tell Grandfather that my aunt punished me to kneel for two hours, so I can't leave for the time being. When the time is up, I will go and see the old man. "

I looked at him quizzically.

He was … To complain to Grandpa Zhou in a disguised manner?

However, from his tone, it seemed that he didn't mean anything. He was probably just stating a fact …

I'm not sure what he's thinking, anyway.

Hearing his words, Aunt Zhou's expression changed drastically.

She trembled and said, "Child, what nonsense are you spouting? I never said I wanted you to kneel down …" You should hurry up and go see grandpa, don't delay your business! "

Zhou Xun said, "Oh, aunty has really forgiven me and Nian Bing. Do you not plan on punishing us?"

I suddenly understood.

So he was forcing my aunt to let me go.

In front of Uncle Wang, Aunt Zhou could not do anything but break out in a stiff smile: "I didn't blame you guys at all … You misunderstood me. "

Zhou Xun smiled slightly and said, "Then I will head out with Nian Bing first. I will accompany you later."

Uncle Wang was still there, but Auntie Zhou could not vent her anger. She impatiently waved her hand and said, "Go!"

Zhou Xun stood up with a smile.

The little night girl beside him also quickly got up, intending to help him.

However, he quietly avoided it.

He walked straight towards me and held my hand. "Let's go. I'll send you back to your room to wash up before going to see grandpa."

I made a sound of acknowledgment.

He looked at Uncle Wang and said, "I'll have to trouble you to inform grandpa that I will be there shortly."

Uncle Wang smiled and nodded.

Zhou Xun led me out.

I saw Aunt Zhou's face was twisted and she must be sulking.

As she passed the evening, she silently wept as she stared at Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun led me without looking around.

I don't know if it was my imagination, but I saw a trace of malice flash past her eyes, and her originally gentle face contorted.
