The Rest of My Life

Perhaps it was because I was too serious, but Zhou Xun's eyes darkened, and his expression turned serious as he said, "Speak."

I lowered my eyes and looked down at his hand. "Didn't I ask you before why you let me go so easily?"

Zhou Xun tightened his grip.

I said, "Because … "He never intended to do anything to me today …"

If it were anyone else, I would have been in a hurry by now.

However, Zhou Xun didn't rush me. Instead, he followed my instructions and gently asked, "And then?"

After a long while, I mustered up my courage and said, "I saw Shen Fang … "It's Shen Ziwang's father …"

After saying that, I raised my head and stole a glance at him.

A hint of surprise flashed through his eyes. He obviously didn't think that I would be captured by the court so that I could see Shen Fang.

I waited for him to speak.

He lowered his head and kissed me. He muttered to himself, "Could it be that the Shen family has colluded with the mercenaries?"

I shook my head. "I don't know about that, but …" I suddenly stared at him and said, "Shen Fang said something to me that is related to the Zhou family."

Zhou Xun was stunned. He hugged me tightly and said, "It's alright. Just say whatever you want."

I didn't hesitate anymore and said softly, "Shen …" The old mister said that my mother was kidnapped, and that the mastermind might be your Zhou family … "

Zhou Xun frowned deeply.

His gaze drifted off into the distance, as if he was lost in memories.

After a while, he said, "I've never heard this from my grandfather. I'm not sure if it's true or not." Pausing, he continued, "But more than forty years ago, grandfather was the one in charge … If the Zhou Clan was the one to make a move, then Grandpa must have been informed …. "

It was also because I thought of this that I hesitated to confess to him.

Firstly, I have been with Grandpa Zhou for so long, and I feel that he is quite a conscientious person. He wouldn't do anything to a two-year-old girl. Secondly, even if it was really Grandpa Zhou who did it … Zhou Xun respected Grandpa Zhou this much. Could he really question Grandpa Zhou for my sake?

But... If I didn't say it, I would definitely be even more suspicious of Zhou Xun, and we wouldn't last long …

As I was thinking, Zhou Xun suddenly carried me onto his lap. He looked at me deeply and said, "Darling, thank you."

I did not expect him to thank me so suddenly. I did not even understand why he thanked me.

He lowered his head and kissed my lips. "Thank you for trusting me."

My eyes stung slightly, but I didn't say anything.

In fact, I don't know if I made the right choice.

But I believe he didn't kill my mother.

If he killed my mother, he wouldn't marry me and let me have his child.

Of course, apart from Zhou Xun's kindness towards me and his trust in Zhou Xun's character, the most important reason for that is Shen Fang colluding with the court.

Being able to get involved with people like the court, my intuition says that Shen Fang isn't a good person.

Even though he is my blood uncle, I believe in my own judgment.

Because of this, after careful consideration, I decided to tell Zhou Xun everything that had happened today.

Zhou Xun kissed me for a while before he suddenly lifted up his blanket and said, "Let's go and find Grandfather!"

I was appalled.

He … How could he have such a thought?

Find out from Grandpa Zhou, this... Is it appropriate?

Before I could protest, he picked me up and carried me outside.

I immediately grabbed his shirt and said hesitantly, "Grandpa …" You should be resting, right? "

Actually, I don't really want to go.

If I wronged Grandpa Zhou, not only would he blame me, he would also feel guilty.

But if Grandpa Zhou admits that the Zhou family did indeed do something to let down Shen family and my mother, then what should I do then? What will Grandpa Zhou do to me? Would he ask Zhou Xun to divorce me, or even kill me?

My thoughts went back and forth, and I was afraid and worried.

However, Zhou Xun had already made up his mind.

He lowered his head and kissed my face, saying, "You are my wife, and also my grandfather's grandson's wife. You have doubts in your heart right now, so we should let you know the truth. If the Zhou family made a mistake, then even if I gave it my all, I will make it up to you. If the Zhou Family did nothing and it was only old mister Shen who framed the Zhou Family, then in the future, your heart will no longer be suspicious. " He touched his forehead to my face and said, "I'm your husband, your husband. I shouldn't have let you live in doubt, so today, I must untie your heart."

I was shocked.

I have to say, his words really moved me.

He was telling me that we were a family, that whatever it was we had to say, we had to say it.

As for the past injuries or misunderstandings, they could be discussed and explained.

He was indeed a noble and noble gentleman.

I couldn't help but wrap my arms around his neck and whispered, "I'll listen to you. No matter what the truth is, I'll accept it."

Zhou Xun looked at me gently and kissed me on the lips.

My eyes burned, for fear that he would see my tears, and I buried my face in his neck and answered with a muffled grunt.

Grandpa Zhou wasn't resting, he was bringing Rui Rui to play with the sand in the game room.

Rui greeted us warmly when he saw me and Zhou Xun.

Grandpa Zhou seemed to be quite surprised, as he asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

He probably saw that Zhou Xun and I had serious expressions on our faces.

Zhou Xun hugged Rui Rui, then called the nanny to keep Rui Rui company. He said to Zhou Rui in a low voice, "Let's go out and chat."

Grandpa Zhou's gaze swept past me and Zhou Xun before he nodded and led the way out of the room.

We went next door to the lounge.

Zhou Xun did not keep them in suspense and directly stated his purpose in coming.

I felt uneasy.

And every time Grandpa Zhou listens, his face gets more serious, which makes me feel even more uneasy.

After finishing his story, Zhou Xun looked respectful but determined as he said, "No matter what the truth is, I am already one with my wife. She has the right to know what happened that year. Grandfather, I've come to find you because I hope that you can tell us the truth. "

Grandpa Zhou knocked on the table and said, "You've done very well. There are some things hidden in your hearts that will only cause a family to go astray. When thinking about the fact that she is already the wife of the Zhou family, she does indeed have the right to know the truth. "

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he wasn't angry at me for doubting him.

Grandpa Zhou paused for a moment before recalling, "That year, Shen Fang's father was indeed very powerful, but at that time, I was even further away from him. He was younger than me and could only be considered as a powerful junior, but he was still not a threat to our Zhou family. I have never had anyone look for trouble with him."

What he meant was that the Shen family wasn't worth the Zhou family's help.

In other words, what happened back then had nothing to do with the Zhou family!

I don't know why, but even though Grandpa Zhou only spoke a few words, I immediately believed him.

Because after the past six months, I know that Grandpa Zhou is an upright and righteous person, he won't lie to me.

Grandpa Zhou recalled for a moment and said: "After the Shen family's incident, their position in the circle of families plummeted. It's a pity that the Zhou family and the Shen family didn't get close, so I didn't take the Shen family to heart, so I don't know much about what happened in the Shen family …"

I hurriedly said, "It doesn't matter. As long as it isn't the Zhou family's fault, I am already very happy." I didn't hide anything from Grandpa Zhou, and told him about my uneasy mood from the whole day. "I was just thinking too much. I was afraid that the Zhou family and the Shen family might have a conflict … "When the time comes, I will not know how to face you. I will not know how to face Uncle Zhou."

Zhou Xun gripped my hand tightly and comforted me silently.

Grandpa Zhou looked at me seriously and said, "I swear to God, our Zhou family has never done anything to let down the Shen family."

The older generation were all very superstitious. Although Grandpa Zhou was born an intellectual and held a high position, I know that he secretly held a very reverent and pious attitude towards the gods.

Now that he has sworn an oath, I believe even more that the Zhou family has nothing to do with the Shen family.

The stone in my chest fell to the ground.

But then I had a new doubt.

Why did Shen Fang lie to me and slander the Zhou family?

Could it be that he had never thought of the possibility of me asking Zhou Xun about the matter like this?

Hearing my question, the corners of Zhou Xun's lips curled up in a cold smile. "Very simple. He's gambling."

I looked at him, puzzled.

He stroked my hair and said, "If you don't trust me and don't tell me the truth, will you always suspect me and the Zhou family? "After you and the Zhou family centrifuge, the Shen family will be closer to you in the future. They might even be able to get news of the Zhou family from you."

I was flabbergasted. Then I was glad that I had made the right choice.

To be honest, if Shen Fang had used Shen Zixian to find me instead of letting the court kidnap me and talk to me, perhaps I really would have kept this matter to myself and would not have confessed to Zhou Xun.

But Shen Fang was actually in cahoots with people like that in the court, so his image in my heart was greatly reduced.

On the other side, Zhou Xun had saved my life, and had helped me countless times … Naturally, I am more willing to believe in Zhou Xun.

Now that I have Grandpa Zhou's explanation, I favor the Zhou family more and more.

Zhou Xun pinched my face and said warmly, "Nian, thank you for being honest with me."

I smiled shyly.

Grandpa Zhou also praised me, "Ah Xun's insight is not bad. I'm very happy to have chosen you as my grandson's wife."

I felt even more ashamed.

Zhou Xun grabbed my hand and said to Zhou Rui with a smile, "Then I will go back to rest with Nian Ming. Please continue to play with Rui Rui."

Grandpa Zhou pointed at him in amusement, "Why aren't you accompanying Rui?"

Zhou Xun shook my hand and said in a righteous tone, "I need to accompany my wife."

Me: "…"

Grandpa Zhou scolded him for his thick skin and then waved us out.

When I saw them bickering, I couldn't help but laugh. My mood lightened as well.

But when I think of the Shen family, I can't help but feel a little melancholy.

Although I already knew from Grandpa Zhou that the Zhou family and the Shen family did not have any conflicts, I told Grandpa Zhou and Zhou Xun about what Shen Fang said, and Shen Fang was now the opposite of the Zhou family.

From today onwards, the Zhou family will be on guard against the Shen family.

Maybe the moment I walked out of the lounge, Grandpa Zhou had someone keep an eye on Shen Fang.

He could only hope that the Zhou family would not be the first to take action against the Shen family.

I don't have any feelings for the Shen family, but Shen Zixian treats me well, so I'm still a little worried.

Back in my room, Zhou Xun comforted me again and coaxed me to sleep.

I let myself get a good night's sleep.

During dinner, Zhou Xun asked the servants to bring Auntie Zhou and the dishes to the dining room. However, he did not intend to let them out.

They were impersonating them.

Aunt Zhou cried out sharply.

I frowned as I listened, mainly because Auntie Zhou was making such a ruckus.

It was only after Grandpa Zhou had sent someone to cover her mouth that the house finally quieted down.

It was around nine in the evening when Uncle Tuesday and Uncle Wednesday returned, worn out from their journey.
