Chapter 144 Shock
After a night of tossing and turning, Zhou Nianjun always cared about what Mei Xiang said. After thinking about it, he always felt that Mei Xiang's attitude had changed too fast, and he guessed that there was something else in it.
"Dad know?" With Zhou Chongxiao's ability, even if Mei Xiang was killed on the spot, Zhou Nianjun would not feel incredible, because Mei Xiang once revealed that there was insoluble enmity between him and Zhou Chongxiao when he was very young.
So after he got up, he hesitated for a long time and finally wanted to come to Zhou Chongxiao to ask what happened.
When he walked to the door of the study, he suddenly heard his mother's voice inside. Li Hanyu and Zhou Chongxiao were hardly together, let alone meet in the study. What's the matter?
In surprise, Zhou Nianjun just carefully approached the door and wanted to find out what was going on inside.
In the room, Zhou Chongxiao's silence made Li Hanyu's anger more uncontrollable. He remembered what Mei Xiang mentioned last night and blurted out for a moment, "Isn't it just that you found the witch, so are you going to abandon our mother and son again?"
Zhou Chongxiao's face turned black in an instant. He didn't care how Li Hanyu learned about this matter, but since she already knew about it, it was doomed to be bad. Zhou Chongxiao stared at Li Hanyu, who gasped slightly because of anger, and Li Hanyu looked back at him without fear.
She is going to let Zhou Chongxiao understand today that she is not an object without any sense, and she can let him come and go.
"You don't have to hide it. I know everything. The phoenix princess Xuanyuan Huaisheng is the reincarnation of the witch Xuanyuanbi. I'm right!" She looked at Zhou Chongxiao with a condescending posture and was ready to appreciate his changing face.
It's really ridiculous. Over the years, no matter what I have done, this sentence can affect Zhou Chongxiao's mood.
"Who is outside?" Answering Li Hanyu, it was Zhou Chongxiao who suddenly asked, and at the same time, the door was opened in an instant.
When he heard Li Hanyu say that Zhou Chongxiao had found the witch, Zhou Nianjun was very excited. His body was closer to the door and wanted to hear who the witch was.
However, Li Hanyu's next sentence broke his heart in an instant. His legs softened and he stowed on the door, making a very slight sound, but it also shocked Zhou Chongxiao in the room.
No wonder, no wonder Mei Xiang suddenly changed his words and asked him not to take revenge.
He smiled sadly and walked into the room with his head held high at the moment the door opened.
"Dad, mother." His expression returned to calm, and the language was also calm, calm without joy or sorrow.
Li Hanyu's hand trembled and tried to reach out, but he was afraid of being rejected by Zhou Nianjun. Zhou Chongxiao also looked at his son with a complicated look, but more often, he still had no expression.
"If nothing happens, my son will go first." After standing for a while, Li Hanyu and Zhou Chongxiao didn't say anything. Zhou Nianjun was worried that if he continued to stay, he would definitely collapse, so he simply turned around and left.
"Nianjun, you..." Seeing him turn around, Li Hanyu shouted with tears.
"Mom, I'm fine." He looked back at his dearest mother and raised his mouth with a smile helplessly.
Mother, mother, how can you be so cruel? Your son's world has been easily destroyed by your words, do you know?
The door closed blocked the eyes of the mother and son, and also invisibly blocked the two hearts that were originally close.
A loud bang came from behind. Li Hanyu turned around and saw Zhou Chongxiao with a black face and slapped the table beside him directly into powder.
"Get out of here!" He roared, with hidden anger in his eyes.
Li Hanyu was stunned and only saw a white figure slowly emerging. It was the Taoist priest in white.
If the Taoist priest in white hadn't tamped with it, how could Zhou Chongxiao not have felt Zhou Nianjun's approach? If he had known Zhou Nianjun's approach earlier, the next thing would not have happened.
This is the first time that Zhou Chongxiao's eyes are full of pure hatred for his master.
Li Hanyu rushed up. Even if she knew that she was not the opponent of the Taoist priest in white, she rushed up fiercely. The heartbroken expression when her son turned around and left made her heart fiercely. At this time, she urgently needed an object to vent, and the Taoist priest in white was obviously the best.
Unexpectedly, the Taoist priest in white did not fight back or dodge, but let Li Hanyu's fist hit his chest one after another. He just looked at Zhou Chongxiao, and the current mood of this apprentice is what he wants to care about.
"He will know sooner or later. You don't know it either." He knew that Zhou Chongxiao would hate himself. This apprentice who doesn't care about anything, the only two people he care about are Xuanyuanbi and Zhou Nianjun. The former is because of love, and the latter is because of debt.
He really knows Mei Xiang's plan. In Zhou's house, no action can be hidden from the eyes and ears of the Taoist priest in white. Mei Xiang naturally knows about this, but as long as the Taoist priest in white or Zhou Chongxiao does not come out to stop it head-on for a day, then she can continue her plan.
Zhou Chongxiao knew that her son Zhou Nianjun would definitely know the truth from Mei Xiang's mouth one day, but the situation in front of her still made her unable to let go.
He got up and went straight out without looking at Li Hanyu and the Taoist priest in white.
Li Hanyu beat for a long time, and the Taoist priest in white was still painless. She was also tired and sat down on the ground, with tears falling down. She couldn't cry. The person who told her son the cruel truth was herself, and she was not qualified to say anything. It was her lack of thought and acted so impulsively. If she could do it again, she would rather put up with it for the time being than see her son's sad eyes.
After unconsciously walking out of Zhou Mansion, Zhou Nianjun remembered that he had nowhere to go. Zhoufu didn't want to stay for the time being. He would only be more sad to stay in a sad place. Not to mention the Hefeng Courtyard he went to every day. In this case, he didn't even know what kind of expression he should take to face Xuanyuan Huaisheng.
As he walked, he came to Chengnan Street and recalled that day when he went shopping happily with Xuanyuan Huaisheng. Now the two may turn against each other. Why doesn't it make people feel cold?
"Dear guest, do you want to stay in the hotel? Or is it sharp?" Seeing the guests coming in front of him, the shopkeeper greeted him attentively. He saw that Zhou Nianjun's clothes were made of good materials and should be a rich man.
Hearing this greeting, Zhou Nianjun came to his senses and found himself standing at the door of a restaurant. He nodded meaninglessly and walked in behind Xiao Er.
It may be a distinguished guest, so Xiao Er was very attentive. He led him upstairs and chose an elegant seat by the window.
"Let's have two pots of bars first, the strongest wine in your store." He looked at the people coming and going on the street and said casually.
"Good!" The guests always have the hobbies of guests, and the second child doesn't dare to talk too much. Hurry up and get ready.
Xiao Er's attentive back, the shopkeeper took a look and then frowned slightly. He saw Zhou Nianjun's state just now. He was obviously a frustrated person. Now he still drinks such a strong wine. He just hopes that he doesn't make any trouble in the store.
It was getting dark. Zhou Nianjun's table was full of wine bottles, and he was so drunk that he lay directly on the table.
"A guest officer, the guest officer wakes up." Xiao Er pushed him, but there was no response. He felt a little embarrassed. He can't let the guests blow on this outlet. In case something happens, who can afford it?
"Let me do it. Well, I'll pay for this ingot for you. Is that enough?" A slightly weak voice sounded beside him, and at the same time, a ten taels of silver fell into Xiao Er's hand.
"Enough is enough. If the guest doesn't have any other instructions, the little one will go first. He bent down and went downstairs to check out the shopkeeper.
"It's really fragile... Well, if you can be stronger, it can help me more. Cough..." The young man who stepped forward wore a black satin robe and his face was sickly red. He coughed after saying a few words and gently covered his mouth with his hand.
"So, what about this man?" Immediately behind him was a strong man with a cross-body knife. He had a cross-faced face and spoke harshly, and his loud voice almost shook people's eardrums.
"Cough, let's carry it back first. Wenting, cough, this is a distinguished guest. Don't neglect it. The man in black said and looked at Zhou Nianjun with a deep meaning.
When Zhou Nianjun was woken up by the sound of birds outside the window, he no longer knew where he was. When the two sharp maids saw him move, they came forward to serve him to get up and wash and change clothes.
"Where is this? My head..." The hangover made him have a splitting headache, rubbing his temples desperately, trying to relieve the pain.
"The prince was so drunk last night that he spit it out without even drinking much sobering soup. Naturally, he will feel uncomfortable for a long time." A girl explained, "This is General Gong's mansion. You can rest assured."
"General Gong?" Zhou Nianjun thought for a moment. There seemed to be such a general in the court, named Gong Chengxi. Hearing that Xuanyuan Huaisheng occasionally mentioned that he was an upright general, which was deeply valued by his majesty today.
It's just that he remembered that he went to the restaurant in the south of the city yesterday. Why did he wake up and arrive at General Gong's house? The Zhou family has no contact with the Gong family on weekdays.
"Cough, Mr. Zhou, why didn't you sleep a little longer?" With a slight cough, Gong Ziling appeared at the door. Although he changed into a long shirt, the color of his clothes was still black, as if he had a special love for black.
"Are you?" Zhou Nianjun took a look and confirmed that he really didn't know the person in front of him and had never seen him.
"Ha ha, you don't have to be too careful. Well, my name is Gong Ziling, and I am the youngest son of General Gong. Well, I have been weak since I was a child, so few people know it. Gong Ziling went to the table and sat down. He looked exhausted. "Yesterday, I happened to go to the Chengnan Restaurant to rest. I met the prince drunk in it. He coughed, and asked the attendant to take the prince back to the house to rest. Although the general's mansion is rough, it is better than the wing of the restaurant. Well, I hope you don't blame me.
Since it's a good intention, how can Zhou Nianjun say something to blame? It's just that he felt that this Gong Ziling brought an unknown person back home for no reason, which was definitely not as simple as he said on the surface.
