The Rest of My Life

I stammered, trying to explain, but how could I tell the truth in front of Auntie Zhou and Little Wan?

Perhaps it was because Zhou Tong had been angered, but Aunt Zhou was actually happy instead. Her face revealed a little complacency, a little arrogantly.

She said to Zhou Xun, "Hurry up and get her away from me. This woman has bad intentions and I will not accept her! If you continue to keep her at the Zhou household, don't blame me for venting my anger on her! "

Zhou Xun kept looking at me, as if deep in thought.

The midnight softly said, "Cousin, this was personally said by sister Nian Nian. I definitely did not change a single word."

Zhou Xun's gaze turned colder.

I knew that if I didn't say something, he might really misunderstand, so I hurriedly said, "Uncle Zhou, I …"

However, he interrupted me and said, "Since you've married into the Zhou family, you must abide by the rules of the Zhou family. Auntie is your elder, so you should take good care of your aunt these few days."

I started, then realized that he was probably pretending to be angry because he wanted me to stay with my aunt.

Aunt Zhou was at a loss for words, "Zhou Xun, what are you trying to say! You must be making me unhappy! "

Zhou Xun shook his head and said, "Grandfather just called me to go. He said that I would have to go with him in the next few days. I can only let my remembrance carry out my filial piety."

With an earnest expression on his face, he brought Grandpa Zhou out. Auntie Zhou was so angry that she blushed to her ears.

Trembling, she pointed at him, unable to speak.

At this time, a servant came to find Zhou Xun, saying that Grandpa Zhou had asked him to go to his study.

Zhou Xun responded, then looked towards Aunt Zhou and said respectfully, "Aunt, I'll go see Grandfather first. I'll have Nian Xin stay behind to accompany you."

He gave me a long look and went out without asking Aunt Zhou's permission.

Auntie Zhou was gasping for breath.

I watched his back disappear down the corridor, and for a moment there was a complicated look on my face.

He must have let me face Aunt Zhou on purpose, and perhaps persuaded Grandpa Zhou to help him cover for me. I just don't know what he wanted me to do, to get used to Aunt Zhou's unreasonable behavior, or to let Aunt Zhou focus her firepower on me.

It can't be for the sake of nurturing my relationship with Auntie Zhou, right?

I muttered to myself in high spirits, "Auntie, let me stay by your side. If you need anything, feel free to tell me. What Little Night can do, I can do as well. "

Aunt Zhou slowly turned her gaze to me.

She didn't say a word, but her eyes were as cold as ice. I know that she wasn't as reckless as she appeared to be. Since she was doted on by Grandpa Zhou, she would be able to return to the Zhou family after getting married. She was probably mulling over something. I waited silently for her to speak.

Aunt Zhou said flatly, "Go and get me a glass of water!"

Was pouring water that simple?

A flash of doubt passed through my mind, and I couldn't help but look at Little Night, who sat very still, with no particular expression on her face, though I couldn't tell if she was gloating.

As I looked around, Aunt Zhou impatiently urged, "Why aren't you going yet!"

I quickly replied and turned around to leave.

There was actually mineral water in the room, and it was said that it was the most expensive water in the world, as was what the Zhou family usually drank. Auntie Zhou, on the other hand, asked me to pour him some water. I could only go to the kitchen and use this mineral water to boil the water before cooling it down.

Although it was a bit troublesome, it wasn't impossible.

I even considered that Auntie Zhou might find it cold or hot, that she might place the soup on my head like she did at noon, and that I had deliberately adjusted the temperature so that I could drink it properly before serving it.

However, when I passed the blanket over Aunt Zhou, she didn't seem like she was going to accept it. She sneered. "What cup do I usually use? Did you not notice?"

I started.

I really didn't notice this. I've only known her for a day, how could I have noticed such details?

What surprised me even more was that she could find fault in such an ingenious way.

She didn't care about the water temperature at all and directly took the cup as a topic of discussion!

I hastily replied, "I'm sorry, Aunt! It was my negligence. I will immediately change your cup."

Auntie Zhou sneered, "If you can't even do such a small thing, what use do you think you have?!"

I gritted my teeth and waited in silence for a scolding.

In the end, she only said in a bad mood: "Hurry up and f * ck off!"

I secretly frowned. She was so temperamental, it was really hard to guess what she was thinking.

When I asked the servant, found Aunt Zhou's water glass and carried it back to her room, I saw that Little Night was feeding Aunt Zhou some water and holding a bottle of mineral water in her hand.

Me: "…"

Aunt Zhou didn't even look at me as she coldly said, "I don't want to drink anymore. Can you pour me a glass of milk?"

I bit the corner of my lip and replied in a low voice.

The two of them had already put down the mineral water and were chatting happily.

It seemed that Aunt Zhou was determined to tease me. What else could I do? I could only continue to run errands.

Fortunately, she didn't do anything else. She just wanted me to run a few more times.

With the help of the kitchen, I brought the warm milk upstairs again.

Aunt Zhou finally stopped making things difficult for me. "Bring it over."

I held it out to her with both hands.

She brought it to her lips and took a sip.

I studied her expression, secretly wary.

She didn't swallow the milk, but spat it all over my face.

Fortunately, I was prepared and managed to avoid the attack.

Auntie Zhou scolded, "This milk has expired. Are you trying to poison me?!"

After saying that, he threw the cup at me. Of course, I wouldn't be as foolish as Zhou Xun. I hurriedly dodged to the side. The milk was all over the carpet, except for a few drops that splattered my face. The glass rolled on the floor and hit the corner of the table with a crisp clink.

Aunt Zhou was so angry that she gasped for breath, "Bitch, you actually still dare to dodge!"

Ignoring her anger, I stared down at the white milk on the light brown carpet and frowned slightly.

The milk was given by the kitchen. How could it have expired?

At this time, Uncle Zhou and his two sons had already heard the news and rushed over. The servants were also surrounding them at the entrance.

Aunt Zhou's face turned pale. She fell into Uncle Zhou's arms and said listlessly, "My chest feels terrible …"

Thinking of her heart attack, not just Uncle Zhou, everyone in the room had a drastic change in expression.

I called the servant to fetch the doctor.

However, Aunt Zhou gritted her teeth and said, "You don't have to pretend! You didn't poison me, so I should burn incense to worship Buddha! "

In front of everyone, she scolded me like this. I was afraid that Uncle Zhou and the rest would misunderstand, so I softly explained, "Aunt, I really didn't know that the milk was out of date …"

Aunt Zhou sneered. "Are you saying I wronged you?"

She clutched her chest, as if I were about to make her faint.

Although I knew that she was putting on an act, I had no way to expose her at this moment. I could only say with fear and trepidation, "No …"

"Send someone to the kitchen to check!" She didn't wait for me to finish before she snapped, "Don't say I wronged you!"

I felt a little uneasy. She was making such a ruckus. It must be because she was sure that the milk had expired … However, this was the Zhou family's residence. Every day, their food and clothing were the best. How could there be milk that had expired in the kitchen? Unless she had already made the arrangements...

Not long after, Uncle Wang personally brought someone up, saying that the milk really had expired.

I was shocked.

Uncle Wang was his grandfather's trusted aide, so he couldn't help Auntie Zhou lie. That could only mean that Auntie Zhou had colluded with the kitchen …

In this way, it confirmed my reputation for wanting to murder her.

I stood there with a blank mind.

Auntie Zhou laughed coldly, "What else do you have to say for yourself?!"

The corners of my mouth moved, but no words came out.

However, it was Uncle Wang who said with a frown, "It's my fault for not keeping a strict watch on this matter …"

Aunt Zhou interrupted him, "Uncle Wang, you are the elder of our family and are the most reliable at handling affairs. How could you make such a small mistake? I think this slut is purposely trying to harm me! "

Uncle Wang looked at me and remained silent.

I couldn't argue with that, so I racked my brain and tried to figure out how to deal with it.

Auntie Zhou said loudly, "Quickly go and invite Old Master and Ah Xun over. We cannot keep such a vicious woman at home!"

In any case, he still had to drive me away.

I was extremely worried, thinking about the look Zhou Xun gave me before he left. He had given me great hope, and if I turned towards Auntie Zhou and started complaining to him, he would definitely be very disappointed …

Fortunately, Uncle Wang spoke, "Chief and Third Young Master went out."

I couldn't help but be startled.

It was almost dinner, why would they go out?

Aunt Zhou was also surprised. She paused for a moment and then said: "Then what do you think we should do, Uncle Wang? I'm allergic to old milk and just had a tightness in my chest. I don't know if it will affect my heart. "

It was obvious that her words were full of vigor, and the doctor had just examined her, so there wasn't much problem.

However, she said that her chest was stuffy, who could refute her?

Uncle Wang seemed to be in a difficult position. "What do you think?"

Aunt Zhou looked disgusted. "Of course I want to kick her out, but since Grandfather and Ah Xun aren't here, it's not easy for me to make the decision. Let her kneel and wait for Grandfather and the rest to come back before we punish her."

She didn't make me kneel at noon, and at night she even asked me to kneel. It was clear how vengeful she was and that she wouldn't stop until she had achieved her goal.

Uncle Wang hesitated. "Miss Nian is, after all, a guest …"

The meaning behind his words was that he did not approve of Auntie Zhou's way of doing things.

Aunt Zhou was displeased and snorted coldly.

Uncle Wang did not say anything.

On the other hand, Xiao Wan took her hand and advised, "Mom, Elder Cousin Xun is so in pain. If he knew that you were punishing Senior Sis for kneeling again, he might rush back to help you take responsibility …" "For cousin's sake, forgive me."

"I forgave her at noon! "She's just an ingrate, she only knows how to take an inch!" Auntie Zhou sneered, "Even if Ah Xun returns, she'll have to kneel!"

I couldn't help but sigh. Originally, I thought that Little Night was pleading for mercy on my behalf, but in reality, she was only reminding Aunt Zhou that Zhou Xun might accept the punishment for me in the same manner as noon.

However, Auntie Zhou understood her meaning and immediately eliminated this possibility.

The mother and daughter duo sang the same tune, making it impossible for them to turn the situation around.

I must kneel.

However, I was really against it in my heart. Under the bright sky, there is actually such a thing as a punishment of kneeling …

Auntie Zhou squinted at me. "What? You don't want to kneel?"

I stiffened and said nothing.

Silence fell upon the room.

At this point, Uncle Zhou, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "Xiao Yi, forget it. Your child doesn't know how to handle matters. Just teach her slowly. There's no need to bother with her."

I couldn't tell if he was actually speaking up for me, but I knew he couldn't persuade her. After all, she was just as domineering in front of him.

Sure enough, Aunt Zhou's face stiffened as she fiercely pushed him away. "Then go help her kneel!"

Uncle Zhou's face turned red and his mouth hung open. He didn't say anything for a long time.

The other people in the room also had a drastic change in expression. They didn't even dare to breathe loudly. Even Uncle Wang had an awkward expression on his face.

I couldn't help sighing.

Auntie Zhou is angry with Uncle Zhou. For Uncle's sake next week, she's actually forcing me to kneel down.

Otherwise, would Uncle Zhou really kneel for me?

I tightly bit my lips. After taking a deep breath, I kneeled down and said, "Aunt, I was wrong. Please forgive me."
