The Rest of My Life

In the end, Auntie Zhou's right hand was still safe.

I don't have any objections, mainly because I understand Zhou Xun's personality. If he doesn't say anything, then so be it. Once he makes up his mind, then no matter who it is, nothing can stop his plan.

Since he's already decided to make a move on Auntie Zhou, I know that he won't let this go easily.

However, Aunty Zhou did not realize what kind of person Zhou Xun was. After escaping from his fate, she immediately changed and stopped crying. She crawled up from the ground and looked at Zhou Xun gratifyingly, saying, "Ah Xun, I knew you were the best to your aunt."

Zhou Xun ignored her and expressionlessly called for a servant to escort her and Xiang Wan to the room on the second floor.

They were being imprisoned in a disguised manner.

Naturally, Auntie Zhou was unhappy. She screamed, "What are you doing!?"

Unfortunately, no matter how she cried, no matter how weak or sad she cried, Zhou Xun still insisted that the servants send them upstairs.

Aunt Zhou's swearing could still be heard even from a long distance away.

Grandpa Zhou's expression didn't look too good. He sighed heavily and said to Zhou Xun, "Let's do it like this. When your second uncle comes back, explain everything to them properly."

Zhou Xun agreed.

When I saw Grandpa Zhou's tired face as if he had suddenly aged ten years, I felt some sympathy for him.

It must have been hard for him to have a foolish, unaware daughter like Auntie Zhou, despite the fact that he had lived his entire life.

I quickly gave Zhou Xun a look to console him.

Zhou Xun caught my gaze and the corner of his mouth curled up.

He gently advised his grandfather, "Go and rest. I'm here."

However, Grandpa Zhou did not move.

He called the family doctor over and had him examine me until he confirmed that I was alright. He then said, "Alright, you must be tired. Go back to your rooms and rest."

Zhou Xun nodded.

After Grandpa Zhou left the hall, Zhou Xun directly carried me back to my room.

He had been on the plane for more than ten hours, but the jet lag had not been reversed. In the end, he was held hostage by Aunt Zhou. When he saw Shen Fang later on, he was shocked by what he said.

Now I was too tired to move my fingers, my whole head felt like it couldn't work. I was dizzy, and I just wanted to lie down and get a good night's sleep.

Zhou Xun's embrace was warm, and the familiar fragrance of mint made my heart calm down a little.

I sighed, closed my eyes, and fell asleep.

In a daze, I felt Zhou Xun put me in bed. He seemed to get into bed and hug me.

I curled up in his arms and slept soundly.

When he woke up, it was already 3 in the afternoon.

I only had breakfast, and by now I was hungry.

Zhou Xun was sitting at the bedside reading some documents when he heard the commotion. He leaned over to kiss my forehead and gently said, "I'll get someone to bring us something to eat."

I'm pregnant right now, so how can I let the baby get hungry?

After drinking a bowl of warm chicken soup, I finally came back to life.

Zhou Xun smiled and pinched my nose, saying, "After knowing that you were pregnant, Aunt Ning bought over a dozen hens to raise in the backyard. If you like them, tell her to raise a few more."

I still don't know about Aunt Ning helping me with my old age, so I was so touched by her words that I didn't know what to do.

Zhou Xun touched my face and said, "Aunt Ning is very good to you. I heard that her son is also in the Di Clan. He just graduated from university. At that time, I'll have Ah Ning arrange for him to go to the company for an internship."

I couldn't help but rub my palm and softly say, "Thank you, Uncle Zhou."

Speaking of which, although I have a father as bad as Su Yan, my luck is still very good.

When I was young, my grandfather especially doted on me. Afterwards, I went to the Emperor) to study, and I met Teacher Tang. She was also very good to me.

After my mother died, Zhou Xun broke into my life. I was protected by him for more than half a year. Although there were occasional ripples in the process, it was undeniable that he was my savior and saved me from the mud.

Now that I heard that Aunt Ning was also so good to me, I felt even more fortunate.

However, because I think of my mother, I can't help but think of the words that Shen Fang said this morning.

If the Zhou family really did let down the Shen family that year, if Zhou Xun really killed my mother, then the happiness I have now is but a reflection of the moon in a mirror.

What should I do in the future?

My mood immediately became depressed, and even my appetite became smaller.

In the end I only ate a bowl of rice and put down my chopsticks.

Zhou Xun called a servant in to pack up his things.

When the servant had left and we were alone in the room, he lifted me onto his lap and asked gently, "Baby, what's wrong?"

He noticed my mood change.

My eyes felt slightly sore and I shook my head. Leaning against his firm chest, I whispered, "Uncle Zhou, have you settled the company's matters?"

Zhou Xun also noticed my withdrawal and did not pursue the matter. He followed my words and said, "Something happened at the Vancouver branch office …" Presumably it was ordered by someone in the grand court... As it happens, when I went to the office, he signaled his aunt to arrest you.

My heart rose to my throat. I grabbed his sleeve and anxiously said, "He …." Is he that powerful? "

He was in the country, yet he was able to control Vancouver to plot against Zhou Xun. Yet, he succeeded …

It's a lot better than I thought.

Zhou Xun kissed my forehead and said: "Actually, I was already prepared for this. I also knew that it was him who was causing all this trouble …" "It should have been absolutely safe. I've sent more people to our house …" He paused, and said in a low voice, "I just didn't think that aunt would help him capture you."

I suddenly understood.

Perhaps this was the reason why he was so angry and could not tolerate Auntie Zhou any longer.

Just like he said, he could guard against outsiders, but he could not guard against his own family for the rest of his life.

I held his hand and gently comforted him. "Don't be sad. I'm fine with my baby."

Zhou Xun gave a low grunt of assent. He raised my hand and brought it to his lips, kissing it.

I smiled at him.

But thinking about Auntie Zhou, I couldn't help but have a headache. I asked him softly, "Why would Auntie want to mix in with the court? "Could it be that you want to kick me out of the Zhou Family just because you don't like me?"

Zhou Xun shook his head and said, "Darling, don't think too much. This is none of your business."

But I can't think of any other reason for her to collude with the court.

Of course, this didn't exclude the fact that she was bewitched too late.

However, if Nightfall wanted to convince her, he needed a reason.

I could only imagine that perhaps she hated me too much, and because Zhou Tong was protecting me, that was why she wanted to use the power of the grand court to suppress me.

Zhou Xun was silent for a moment, before he said: "The grand court shouldn't be just agreeing to help her deal with you. I'm guessing …" "She even agreed to help her deal with my big brother …"

I was aghast.

So Auntie Zhou actually had this idea …

This time, I completely understood why Grandpa Zhou and Zhou Xun did not plan on letting Auntie Zhou go.

It would have been fine if she had only targeted me. After all, I had just gotten married to Zhou Xun, so it was reasonable for Aunt Zhou to accuse me of being an outsider.

However, Big Brother Zhou was the eldest grandson of the Zhou family and the nephew of Auntie Zhou. They were related by blood, yet Auntie Zhou had teamed up with outsiders to deal with him. This was too outrageous.

Just for the position of the family head, Aunt Zhou planned to tear off all decorum and become enemies with her family.

However, she was still in cahoots with the mercenary leader, the person who had assassinated Zhou's father.

It was no wonder that Grandpa Zhou could not tolerate her anymore.

She wanted to hurt her own eldest grandson, how could he bear it?

I suddenly remembered what he had said before the grand court. He had said that he wanted to stir up the Zhou family in the evening.

Now it would seem that he'd really accomplished it.

But who could it be blamed?

The Magnificent Court was the enemy of the Zhou family, so it was normal for them to deal with the Zhou family.

Mainly because of Auntie Zhou, she couldn't understand it …

For a moment, I didn't know how to comfort Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun stroked my back, his cold eyes were filled with regret as he said, "It's my fault for not being able to make up my mind …" "It's a good thing it didn't turn out to be a big mistake. If something happened between you and the baby, it wouldn't matter even if I killed my aunt and the court …"

I quickly kissed him on the lips and soothed, "My baby and I are fine... "Don't be sad …"

He held me close to him so tightly I could barely breathe.

But I knew he was afraid, so I didn't struggle.

I couldn't help sighing to myself.

Aunt Zhou really should have been hacked to pieces.

The purpose of the grand court was obvious. He wanted the Zhou family to fight, and he was reaping the rewards.

However, Auntie Zhou was led away by his nose.

In the eyes of the court, Auntie Zhou was probably not even worth a flag. After all, Auntie Zhou was too stupid.

However, the problem was that Aunt Zhou was a member of the Zhou Family. She was once the most favored daughter of the Zhou Family, and she had raised Zhou Xun. Even though she had been messing around, the Zhou Family had chosen to forgive her.

The court must have seen the killing power of Auntie Zhou, which was why they used Auntie Zhou to stop Zhou Xun and disrupt the Zhou family.

One had to say, his scheme was indeed formidable.

If Zhou Xun chose to forgive her, Aunt Zhou would still cause trouble in the future.

At that time, it might endanger Big Bro Zhou's safety.

I raised my head to look at Zhou Xun and curiously asked, "Uncle Zhou, what do you plan to do next?"

Previously, Grandpa Zhou had kicked Aunt Zhou out of the Zhou Mansion, but then on Tuesday he had Uncle Zhou take her to the army to be on guard.

Was he really going to kill Aunt Zhou?

However, from my observation, even if Grandpa Zhou and Zhou Xun were willing to give up, they would definitely obstruct Uncle Zhou's path on Tuesday and Wednesday, and would definitely not take Aunt Zhou's life.

Zhou Xun didn't answer me. He only caressed my face and said, "Second Uncle and Third Uncle will be back tonight. I'll have a chat with them first. I'll deal with my aunt's matters tomorrow …." "But I won't tell you for now, you'll know tomorrow."

Even though I was curious, I didn't pursue the matter.

Anyway, Auntie Zhou would not be able to escape this time.

Right now, I am even more at a loss as to whether I should tell Zhou Xun about Shen Fang.

Currently, the Zhou family was suffering from internal and external troubles. If they were to be targeted by the Shen family in secret, it was likely that something bad would happen.

I am now the Zhou family's daughter-in-law and Zhou Xun's wife. How can I stand by idly and watch?

But I'm afraid that if what Shen Fang said is true …

I was confused.

Zhou Xun thought I was frightened, so he put me on the bed and softly said, "Wife, sleep a little longer. I'll stay with you."

I grabbed his hand and stared at him. "Uncle Zhou, I want to ask you a question."

He leaned over and kissed my forehead.

I whispered, "You …" "Do you like me?"

His eyes became serene as he looked back at me. After a long while, he kissed my lips and said, "I like it."

I stared into his eyes.

His eyes were serene and deep, but they were exceptionally clear, not like he was lying at all.

I thought about his temper and thought that he probably wouldn't lie to me about his feelings.

Just like last time, when I asked him if he liked Beibei, he didn't deny it. He only kept silent, showing that he didn't just want to coax me.

So I believe he still likes me a little.

After a moment of silence, I solemnly said, "Uncle Zhou, I have something to tell you."
