The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

After returning from Jiang Mansion, Jing Shu followed the old lady to Anxi Hall and told the old lady the news she heard at the banquet that Zhao Yuan'er had brought Zhou Yi's only son back without authorization.

The old lady is such a shrewd person. She guessed Zhao Yuan'er's plan after listening to Jing Shu's words.

If the only son of the Zhou family had a problem, how could Zhou Yi focus on defending against the enemy? If the war went unfavorably, Emperor Ming would definitely bring up the idea of ​​​​peace again, so his precious granddaughter Qingluan would have to be sent to make peace.

Therefore, the old lady was thinking deeply that Zhou Yi could win the battle so that she could change the fate of her granddaughter and her husband.

The old lady knows that Jingshu is a careful person and will not talk nonsense if she is unsure about things. Therefore, among the three grandsons-in-law, the one whom the old lady trusts the most is Jingshu.

The old lady suddenly heard the bad news. Although she was anxious, she was helpless.

After all, although the Duke of Zhenguo's office has been on good terms with General Zhou's office for generations, it is not easy for him to interfere in other people's family affairs.

The old lady clenched her hands anxiously and sighed: "Yuan'er has been arrogant since she was a child. If she really has such vicious thoughts, your uncle Zhou is so young and only a single person.

Now your Uncle Zhou is fighting against the Huns. At this critical juncture, if this child Yuan'er really causes irreversible disaster, oh! Wouldn't it cost your Uncle Zhou's life?"

Naturally, Jing Shu didn't want Zhou Yi to lose on the battlefield. After she heard about this, she had a plan in mind, otherwise she wouldn't have told the old lady about it in a hurry.

Seeing that the old lady was anxious, Jing Shu hurriedly replied: "Of course we can't get involved in the affairs of Uncle Zhou's family, but the eldest daughter of Uncle Zhou's family can."

Since Zhao Yuan'er married Zhou Yi, not only was she not favored by her husband, but she was also angered by her stepson and stepdaughter. She was originally a narrow-minded person, and after so many years of depression, her character became even more twisted.

Zhou Jiangning is several years older than Zhao Yuan'er because she is the eldest daughter in the family and has a strong and aggressive temperament.

Zhao Yuan'er was so angry that she stamped her feet, pointed at Zhou Jiangning's back and cursed for a while, and was finally persuaded by her personal nanny to go back to the house.

Zhao Yuan'er was furious and pointed at Zhou Jiangning and said sternly: "I was ordered to marry into your general's palace. You should call me mother at least. Where does this come from? For a junior to talk to an elder like this,

Is there any more divine law?"

Zhou Jiangning never took Zhao Yuan'er as his little stepmother seriously. She was directing the maids to carry luggage into the house. When she heard this, she just glanced at Zhao Yuan'er and snorted unceremoniously: "This is my home.

I can come back whenever I want, so do I need to inform you?"

Since the old lady and the eldest princess planned to surrender Qingluan to the Murong family in Jiangdong last year, Qingluan became seriously ill and Jingshu accompanied the old lady to the palace for a visit. Qingluan confessed to the old lady that she would not marry anyone other than Li Ling.

Voice of the heart.

Although the old lady had long been aware of her granddaughter's worries, she never imagined that she would be so infatuated with her grandson. Although the old lady was angry, looking at her granddaughter's desolate look, the old lady was not without a trace of emotion in her heart.

Zhou Yi's eldest daughter Zhou Jiangning has rarely been home since Zhao Yuan'er entered the mansion. After receiving the old lady's letter, she rushed back to Zhou's mansion overnight.

Aunt Xu took the order and left. The old lady breathed a long sigh of relief. Looking at Jing Shu sitting silently aside, she couldn't help but stretched out her hand to pull her grandson's daughter-in-law to her side, patted her hand and said:

"It is a great blessing for the Duke of our town to have such a capable daughter-in-law like you. Now that my grandmother is old, I feel very relieved that you are taking care of the palace."

The old lady even considered that if her granddaughter continued to be so stubborn, she would give up her old face and try every means to get her married into the family, even if she was on an equal footing with Jingshu as her grandson's equal wife, even if her grandson couldn't accommodate her in his heart.

She and the old lady also recognized her.

At least she has put an end to her granddaughter's obsession. With her protection, her paranoid granddaughter will not be bullied.

Zhou Yi's eldest daughter's name is Zhou Jiangning.

Because this palace really cannot do without Jing Shu.

Zhou Yi's first wife gave him three daughters. The eldest daughter married Huang Jin, the guard general of the capital. The Huang family and the old lady were cousins, so this marriage was arranged by the old lady as a matchmaker.

Nanny Xu responded and got pen, ink, paper and inkstone. After the old lady wrote in her own handwriting, she handed the letter to Nanny Xu. She repeatedly warned: "Find a reliable person, and hurry up to Huang's house in Jingqian. Be sure to send this letter."

The letter was hand-delivered to the eldest girl of the Zhou family."

After saying that, the old lady immediately turned to Nanny Xu and said, "Hurry up and get the pen and ink. I will edit a letter for Jiang Ning right away."

Zhao Yuan'er suffered a lot of grievances from Zhou Jiangning. When she returned to the main room, she slapped the table with such hatred that it made a "clap" sound, and cursed: "I have finally seen through the ambitions of the Zhou family.

Every good thing. Wow! Since you dare to bring bad luck to me, then don’t blame me for being cruel!"

Even though she has been shrewd all her life, she has become more and more dependent on her granddaughter-in-law in some difficult matters.

When the old lady heard her grandson's suggestion, she couldn't help stroking her hands happily and said, "Look at me, I'm so old and confused now. I actually forgot that Jiang Ning is there."

However, now the old lady has completely given up this idea.

Zhou Jiangning glanced at Zhao Yuan'er with disdain, and said with a sneer: "This is the rule of my Zhou family. Stepwives are to be looked down upon. If you think it is unreasonable, just go to the one who recommended your marriage in the first place."

As he spoke, Zhou Jiangning raised his head, passed Zhao Yuan'er, and entered the house.

Zhao Yuan'er had always been very disgusted with this stepdaughter. When she suddenly heard that Zhou Jiangning was back, Zhao Yuan'er was filled with reluctance. She led a group of servants and went straight to the house. When she saw Zhou Jiangning, she asked with a cold face: "Big lady"

When you return home, why don't you bring someone back in advance to inform you."

As she said this, she angrily ordered her nun: "Tell them to put that thing into Zhou Jiangning's food."

"Hmph! Doesn't she always like to go against me? Then let her go to the underworld with her damn brother to keep company."

The rumors outside are not groundless. Zhao Yuan'er took Zhou Yi's only son back to the house without authorization, with the intention of murdering him and making plans for herself in the future.

She got a chronic poison, which is colorless and odorless. It can kill people after taking it for a month. The deceased seems to have died of typhoid fever, and the real cause of death cannot be found at all.

In the seven or eight days since she took Zhou Yi's son back, Zhao Yuan'er has been ordering people to secretly mix the poison into his food, hoping to use this private and despicable method to get rid of Zhou Yi's son.
