Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 2670 Majia Village (three more)

Blacksmith Luo sighed again, "I fell on the way to find Zhou Xia."

"Looking for Zhou Xia? What's the situation?" Luo Fengtang was even more confused.

He left Changping Village for a year and a half, and now he has been back for half a year, adding up to two years.

In the past two years, he hadn't paid any attention to Zhoujia Village's affairs about Luo Daye and Zhou Xia.

"Zhou Xia is still in Zhoujia Village? Didn't she say that she would go back to Xiangyang Palace after uncle's filial piety?" Luo Fengtang asked.

Although, during the filial piety period, she gave birth to a child out of wedlock, gave birth to Wangfu's son, and was sent away...

But Luo Fengtang believes that for a woman like Zhou Xia who is determined to climb high, these are not obstacles.

"Why, she's still in Zhoujia Village? She's still playing and disappearing? What's going on here? Can anyone tell me clearly!" He said again.

After Yang Ruoqing picked up two chopsticks of eggs and shrimps for each of the two children, she put down the bowls and chopsticks and said to Luo Fengtang: "Let me talk about it first."

"What I know is limited, because I heard some scattered things from Xiaohuan."

"Xiaohuan and the others know that we don't like to hear about Auntie and Zhou Xia, so Xiaohuan seldom mentions it. They just occasionally talk about it when they are doing needlework together." Yang Ruoqing said.

Luo Fengtang nodded, looked at Yang Ruoqing, and motioned for her to continue.

Yang Ruoqing continued: "This matter, we have to start with the child that Zhou Xia gave birth to..."

"At the beginning, after Zhou Xia gave birth to the child, she asked Aunt Da'e to strangle the child to death in front of her."

"Aunt Da'e probably has a little bit of humanity left compared to Zhou Xia, and it hasn't been completely wiped out yet,"

"So she pretended to pinch a few times, and then fooled Zhou Xia into saying that the child had died, and then wrapped the child in a small quilt and took her away."

"Aunt Da'e sent that child to Majia Village..."

"Majiacun?" Luo Fengtang interrupted Yang Ruoqing and frowned, "Why is this name so familiar? I seem to have heard it somewhere..."

"Cough!" Yang Ruoqing raised her fist and put it next to her mouth, pretending to cough, and hinted at Luo Fengtang with her eyes.

Luo Fengtang was stunned for a moment, but didn't realize what she was trying to imply.

Next to him, Blacksmith Luo also coughed, and looked at Luo Fengtang with some embarrassment, "It's the village where the Ma brothers and sisters lived in the past."

Suddenly, Luo Fengtang's face flushed a little.

Yang Ruoqing even turned her head away, wanting to laugh, but it was inconvenient to laugh.

Before Aunt Wang Cuilian entered Lao Luo's house, Blacksmith Luo went shopping in the town one day, and the purse was almost stolen by a pickpocket.

Then he was snatched back by the eldest brother of the Ma family. Because of this incident, Blacksmith Luo got to know the brothers and sisters of the Ma family.

Ma Shi is very good-looking, and she is quite beautiful among the women.

The brothers and sisters of the Ma family approached Blacksmith Luo with ulterior motives, the purpose was to marry Blacksmith Luo's trust, let the Ma family marry over, and cheat Blacksmith Luo of his family property in the future.

But it was exposed later, moreover, the Ma brothers and sisters are still cheating.

This matter is something that Luo Tiejiang is ashamed to talk about. Almost no one mentions it. I didn't expect to mention it when talking about Zhou Xia's matter today. It's a sin, a sin!

Here, Wang Cuilian looked at the awkward couple on the table and broke the deadlock with a smile.

"Oh, it's all in the past, there's nothing to be embarrassed about, who wouldn't touch the wall, Qing'er, you can talk about it later," she said.

Both the Luo family and father breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and Luo Tiejiang even cast a grateful look at Wang Cuilian.

I just like this woman's understanding and tolerance, although she is not as beautiful as Ma Shi back then.

But in this life, you still can't be fooled by appearances, and only by finding a solid and reliable woman can your family and everything be prosperous.

Wang Cuilian also smiled gently at Blacksmith Luo, and everyone continued to listen to what Yang Ruoqing said.

"I heard from Xiaohuan that after the child was sent away, Aunt Da'e didn't dare to ask about it again." Yang Ruoqing cleared her throat and continued.

"Xiaohuan and Cousin Zhou Wang also don't know whether she gave it to someone in Majia Village, whether it was agreed in advance to send her there, or just ran away at the door of the house in the middle of the night, I don't know."

"Then Zhou Xia started writing letters to the Xiangyang Prince's Mansion in the capital as soon as Zhou Xia's confinement was over, and she asked the coachman to deliver it."

"The coachman knew Xiaohuan before in the Xiangyang Prince's Mansion, and he followed Zhou Xia to Zhoujia Village together,"

"Although due to Zhou Xia's intimidation, the coachman didn't dare to do anything when he drove Xiaohuan out, but he would still say a few words to her when he met Xiaohuan in private."

"The coachman told Xiaohuan that in the past six months, Zhou Xia has asked her to send letters to the capital three times,"

"However, there has been no response from the Xiangyang Palace. The last time the coachman sent a letter to the capital, the doors of the Xiangyang Palace were not allowed to enter!" she said.

Luo Fengtang raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Did you make three trips to the capital in half a year? This time, that coachman has been on the road almost all of the past six months."

Yang Ruoqing twitched her lips, being Zhou Xia's coachman was really bad luck for eight lifetimes.

"Xiaohuan also said that Zhou Xia's filial piety period has passed, but she still doesn't leave the courtyard."

"I just stay in the yard every day, and Aunt Da'e comes out to take care of everything."

"Xiaohuan didn't dare to go to the old yard to meet Zhou Xia, especially after giving birth, Xiaohuan simply came to our house with Brother Zhou Wang to make a living to do embroidery work, and stayed at the uncle's place. I haven't seen Zhou Xia, and the situation is ominous!"

Yang Ruoqing's words stopped here, she picked up the bowl and chopsticks in front of her, took a piece of twice-cooked pork, put it together with the rice, and took a bite into her mouth.

Mmmm, incense!
Here, Blacksmith Luo brushed off the conversation, and continued: "I asked Zhou Wang what happened today, why his mother broke his leg."

"Zhou Wang told me that Zhou Xia doesn't want to stay with Zhoujiacun anymore, and writes to the capital every now and then,"

"When I came back, the old concubine of the Xiangyang Palace promised to send someone to pick Zhou Xia back after the two-year filial piety."

"It's been almost three years, and no one has come."

"Zhou Xia was in a hurry. She packed her things and planned to go to the capital by herself. Your Aunt Da'e was reluctant and worried about her walking such a long distance with the coachman alone, so she said to go with her."

"Zhou Xia doesn't want your aunt Da'e to send her off. Three days ago, on a dark and windy night, she sneaked away with the coachman while your aunt was asleep."

"Your aunt will go after and look for it. At that time, Zhou Wang and Xiaohuan are with us, and your aunt can't find anyone to help."

"Usually in Zhoujia Village, I didn't get any good luck with the fellow villagers, and naturally I couldn't call anyone to help her find it in the middle of the night."

"So I searched north along the road alone, and chased him all day and night, and then broke my leg."

　I have something to do at home today, the fourth update will be added tomorrow morning, sorry.
