After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 491 Indecision
"What should I do? Salad!"

Ma couldn't help rolling her eyes: "What are you thinking, eldest sister?! Is now the time to worry about this kind of thing?! The most important thing is to stop Zhou Jinpu and don't let him become a monster, right?! No matter if he really wants to He still planned to take revenge when he was saving people. If it was just a small matter and the news did not spread to the third room of the Zhou family, the family would have covered up for him; but if he really helped Mrs. Ma escape, that would be no joke. Don't talk about him, even the whole third house will suffer! The eldest sister and brother-in-law have just been freed from the crime of collaborating with the enemy. They don't have to be implicated by Mrs. Ma for less than a day, so they can't bear to leave Mrs. Ma. Are you eager to go to Jiuquan with her?"

Caijuan turned pale after being scolded by her, and tears fell again: "Then...what should we do? Auntie, our wife really didn't mean it, she just...she just suffered from years of anger and couldn't bear it. live!"

Ms. Zhou Ma has been married into the third wife of the Zhou family for more than 30 years, and this is the first time she and her husband Zhou Shigong get along so harmoniously. Zhou Shigong would go to the main room to have meals with her every day, and no longer stayed in the study at night. He was willing to talk to her about his inner troubles, and relied on her to take care of the house. It was only at a young age that she realized what it was like to be a loving couple, how could she be willing to lose it? It was precisely because of cherishment that he could not see his step-son, who had always been rude to him, being valued by her husband. Now she was afraid that Zhou Shigong would misunderstand that her stepmother had done evil to her former son, and would become angry, and the hard-earned love would be in vain, and she would have to go back to the cold life before. As her confidant, Caijuan was also happy and worried for her. Thinking of what she had said, she couldn't help but worry for her.

Ma couldn't understand what their master and servant were worried about at all, and said angrily: "What is it on purpose or not? You just said it vaguely, what did the elder sister say to Zhou Jinpu?!"

Caijuan kept mumbling: "It's just... what I said before..." She was also a little unable to say anything about her mistress's not very clever sowing dissension.

Seeing that she was unwilling to tell the truth, Ma was too lazy to continue asking: "That's all, no matter what she said, she didn't ask Zhou Jinpu to save people. Zhou Jinpu had bad intentions. It was his own fault. What did he have to do with the eldest sister? It's related? Even if the brother-in-law is really blamed later, there is nothing to be afraid of. The eldest sister has not harmed anyone by raising children for him, nor has she harmed their Zhou family's property. Colluding with foreign spies is much better than some people!

"That man has not been divorced, why should the brother-in-law complain about the eldest sister?! When their third family was in trouble, the eldest sister never said anything about making peace with him. We shared the trouble with him at that time, but now that things have changed, he If he doesn't know what's right and wants to find fault with the eldest sister, and makes a fuss about divorcing his wife, then he has lost his conscience! My wife makes the decision for my eldest sister!"

Caijuan suddenly felt reassured: "With these words from my concubine, I feel relieved."

Haitang asked her from the side: "What did your eldest young master do after he said he wanted to rescue Mrs. Ma? How did he plan to save people?"

Caijuan shook her head and said: "After the eldest young master said that he wanted to save people, the old lady called him into the house. I don't know what they discussed. The slave was far away outside the window and couldn't hear clearly. Later, the eldest young master went to look for him. After giving a few instructions to his nanny, his nanny went off to find someone to search for a long ladder..."

"Long ladder?" Hai Jiao raised an eyebrow, "Is this for climbing over the wall? Is it possible that Zhou Jinpu really intends to save people?"

Haitang always felt strange in her heart. Why does Zhou Jinpu think that Mrs. Ma can escape successfully by just finding a few long ladders? She is not a princess in a tower. She was imprisoned in the main house in the west courtyard. It was a bungalow with a spacious courtyard outside. There were rough girls watching in the house, strong women guarding the courtyard, and heavy troops stationed outside the courtyard. She couldn't even leave the bedroom. Go, how do you plan to escape by the long ladder?

Zhou Jinpu's plan should be just a joke, right?

Thinking like this, Haitang said to Caijuan: "I think what your eldest young master is doing is very unreliable. Why don't you persuade my aunt and ask her to tell her uncle the news quickly and ask him to arrest his son. No matter what the outcome is, it is enough that my aunt has fulfilled her duty to inform her. There is no need to get involved too deeply, and your eldest son will suspect that she is hiding something. "

Mrs. Ma greatly agreed: "Yes, just leave this kind of matter to your brother-in-law. Even if he wants to be beaten or scolded, it is him who will step in as the father. There is no need for the eldest sister to be the bad guy." Caijuan looked embarrassed. : "The master went out... to the Zhenguo Palace. Because many people in the clan have heard about the news in the morning and came to inquire about the details. The master was worried that the reputation of Sanfang would be ruined, so he went to ask for help. The eldest son of the country, please ask him to come forward and give an order to the clan that no clan members are allowed to come to the third room to inquire about the news..."

How could the Duke of Zhen get involved in such nosy matters? If Zhou Shigong wanted to achieve his goal, he would have to spend more time grinding people. He was afraid he wouldn't be able to go home until dark. But Zhou Ma didn't know when Zhou Jinpu planned to rescue people. If he had to rescue people today, she might not be able to wait until Zhou Shigong came home before making up his mind. But if someone were to send someone directly to the Zhenguo Palace to deliver the message, wouldn't she be thrown into the eldest house in disgrace? !

The third room had just been humiliated once, and if it was humiliated again and the eldest room was brought to the forefront, I wonder if Zhou Shigong would be angry?

Now that Ms. Zhou has a good relationship with her husband, she has become more indecisive and unsure of her decisions.

Ma couldn't help but have the thought of hating her eldest sister: "What's there to worry about? Mrs. Ma's scandal has already been known to the Duke of Guo's family this morning, and she won't be embarrassed if she loses her face again." It was worse than in the morning. On the contrary, if the eldest sister reported the news decisively, so that the brother-in-law could stop Zhou Jinpu's nonsense in time, it would be more beneficial to the third house if they knew about it, and they would feel that the third house could stand up on its own, and there was no need to do anything. Isn’t this a good thing for them to worry about?”

She urged Caijuan: "Hurry up and ask the eldest sister to deliver a message to your master immediately when you get back. There can be no further delay! Now the sun is setting in the west, and it will be dark in a few hours. I really can't wait until it gets dark. Who knows what crooked tricks Zhou Jinpu will do? If Madam Ma is really released, your third wife will finally get away with it, and you will be under suspicion again, and even the eldest sister's children and grandchildren will be implicated!"

After hearing this, Caijuan didn't dare to hesitate any longer, kowtowed to Mr. Ma in a hurry, and hurried out.

Haitang and Haijiao see her out. Hai Jiao also reminded her: "If your great-uncle has not made a decision yet, tell your great-aunt to send someone to keep an eye on Zhou Jinpu in advance to see what he plans to do and who he has contacted. And Mrs. Ma, If she really escapes, will she still have help from the remnant party? Keeping an eye on these matters, she will have something to say when her great-uncle comes back. Even if her great-uncle hates him, she can still prevent Zhou Jinpu from getting into trouble. The whole family. At worst, Zhou Jinpu will be pushed out to take the blame and save the rest of the family. Anyway, this is what he asked for."

Haitang also said: "This matter is related to the reputation and future of my uncle and aunt, and it must not be ignored. My aunt only thinks about it for the sake of her children and grandchildren. Even if my uncle is really angry in the future, there will still be the Duke's Mansion to support her." Woolen cloth!"

Caijuan's eyes widened when she heard this, with a serious look on her face. She nodded heavily, then went out and left in a hurry.

Hai Jiao was a little worried, so he told his sister and followed Caijuan to the third room of Zhou's house.

Haitang stood at the door for a while, watching the two of them disappear at the entrance of the alley. She turned back and glanced at the Jin family's house. Seeing that Ma Shangyi and others had not come out yet, she couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Ma Shangyi has been staying in the Jin family for so long. I wonder what she talked about with Jin Jiashu?
