After feeding the exiled criminals, she was forced to reveal herself

Chapter 634: Offended
Zhou was stunned when she heard what Zhang said!
"Asking for a son?"

Zhou paused and asked uncertainly, "With the family god?"

Zhang stood up, looked back, and nodded.

"What do you think, sister-in-law?"

Zhou: "..."

I was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

She thought Zhang...she never imagined that she had other thoughts.

Zhou couldn't help but look back subconsciously, and said with her eyes lowered, "I don't know if what you and I said has spread out."

Zhang said softly, "I kept the volume down."

"No matter how light it is..."

Forget it.

When she was talking excitedly, Zhou suddenly stopped talking.

I almost brought out the habits I had in the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion before, but fortunately I managed to control myself and didn't say anything inappropriate when Zhang was expressing her true feelings.

Her expression became slightly more serious.

What my sister-in-law Zhang said was truly shocking. She needed some time.

However, Zhou didn't think about it for a while, and asked her seriously: "Why did you suddenly have this idea?"

Zhang said, "I don't know. Maybe I've seen a lot of things along the way, and suddenly I think it's not bad to have a son to keep me company."

After saying this, he muttered to himself, "Besides, since he is under Shen Xing's name, he is not alone."

Zhou looked at her in surprise for a while.

"Shen Xing is no longer with us. What are you planning to do?"

"If we are destined to be together, we will adopt one to carry on the family line." Zhang said calmly.

But, Zhou finally heard her nervousness from her slightly trembling voice when she talked about this matter.

Zhou said nothing, but just silently turned her head and gently touched it with Zhang's.

Zhang's eyes instantly turned red and she felt hot.

"Sister-in-law, I..."

"Are you just acting on impulse, or have you already made up your mind?" Zhou considerately stopped her from saying anything that might have backed her off, and asked seriously.

Zhang pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment, "I want to go forward and try it too."

There was a gleam of light in Zhou's eyes. She pursed her lips and smiled when she heard the words. Although she knew that her behavior was inappropriate, she still couldn't help but raised her hand and gently touched Zhang's cold cheek.

"Good, good, good."

Zhou said "OK" three times in a row, a little excited.

Zhang raised her eyes and stared at the rain and fog for a long time.

“I didn’t know how to tell my mother.”

Zhou said, "It's not difficult. Sister-in-law, go and tell mother. In fact, the mansion had this idea a long time ago, and even cautiously followed him..." She paused, noticing that the person next to her was a little stiff. Zhou was silent for a moment, but still felt that there were some things she had to say, "Be cautiously followed him. They had this idea before, but I don't know why they didn't mention it later. They said that it was rare for you two to be together like this. You know that your parents-in-law have always obeyed him, so they never mentioned it in front of you."

"After Shenxing left, you looked calm on the surface, but everyone knows that you can't let anyone touch you." Zhou sighed softly, stretched out her arms behind Zhang, and hugged her tightly, "Fuqing, if Shenxing was still here, how could he feel at ease seeing you like this."

There was a sudden low sob sound in her ear, Zhou let out a long breath, hugged Zhang, and watched the rain in the fog.

This damp and cold weather seemed to seep out from Zhang's heart which could no longer contain itself.

Zhang really didn't like herself being so fragile. Just like before, even if she felt uncomfortable occasionally, she would only allow herself to be sad for a short while. Some names were like scars in her heart that would never heal and she couldn't bear to hear them or touch them.

What Zhang is best at is covering it up gently.

She lowered her head and took a deep breath to calm her disordered emotions. When she calmed down, she raised her head and showed her bright and beautiful face, "Sister-in-law, when we get to Liaozhou, I will definitely find a child that is destined to be with Shenxing and me."

Zhang's voice was not loud, so only Zhou, who was standing close to her, could hear it clearly.

Zhou looked at her and saw that her eyes were determined and her spirit was different from before. She was delighted, as if a ray of sunlight had come through the previous haze, giving her a glimmer of hope.

She nodded happily, "If you have this intention, my mother and I will definitely help you."

After saying this, thinking of her son Xie Yuchuan, Zhou happily whispered in her ear: "Wait until Yuchuan comes back, we'll go and ask him for help!" When it came to this, Zhang's initial courage seemed to be gone. With the support of her family, she didn't dare to act rashly in front of the Xie family's god.

Zhou smiled and said, "God is above, we sincerely bow down and ask sincerely, it's better to give it a try."

Zhang looked at her eldest sister-in-law, blinked, and the firmness in her eyes gathered again. She nodded heavily, "Well, I'll listen to my eldest sister-in-law."

After talking about business, the two smiled at each other and relaxed unconsciously.

Zhou teased her. She didn't expect that Xie Zhang, who was always impetuous and strong-willed, would be so hesitant.

Zhang was helpless as the mistress of the Xie family, who was always dignified and steady, would also make fun of her embarrassing situation.

The road is difficult, and it is difficult to travel.

We must always have a bit of optimism so that everyone can support each other along the way.

The two sisters-in-law were chatting privately, from their own affairs to the affairs of other female relatives in the prisoner group, when the escort officer Xiong Jiushan happened to come out after talking with Madam Xie and Hanlin Lord Zhang Dayi.

As soon as he walked out of the tent, he saw the two ladies of the Xie family leaning against the tent and chatting animatedly.

I didn't want to disturb them, but they all looked over at me when they heard me.

"Mr. Bear, you have worked hard."

Xiong Jiushan stood up straight, looked at the sky, and then looked at the two of them. He quickly glanced at them to avoid suspicion and said sincerely, "It's cold and damp outside. Why don't you two ladies go back to the tent to keep warm?"

"Wait a moment, I'll be back soon." Zhou said.

"I want to wait for Yuchuan to come back." Zhang said.

The two said the same thing, but gave two different answers.

Xiong Jiushan's calm and dark face darkened slightly, and after a little thought, he said comfortably: "Don't worry, General Xie will definitely return to the team tonight, and the team will set off early tomorrow morning. There is no time to delay any further, he knows what's going on."

After hearing this, Zhou and Zhang looked at each other and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xiong, for telling me."

Xiong Jiushan waved his hand nonchalantly, and before leaving, he said with concern: "It's cold outside the tent, it's safer to go back inside."

After saying that, he went to do other things.

Zhou said, "Let's go in and listen to what mother has to say."

Zhang nodded, and the two of them lifted the curtain and returned to the tent.

The atmosphere in the tent was a bit special. Zhou came to her mother-in-law, Old Lady Xie, and sat down. She first looked at the expressions on the faces of the people around her, and then asked, "Mother, is there something that Master Xiong is here for?"

Old Madam Xie's loving gaze swept from the face of her eldest daughter-in-law to the face of her second daughter-in-law, Zhang.

She is old, but her eyesight is still good.

Zhang's eyes and nose were slightly red, and it looked like she was reminded of something sad again.

Madam Xie couldn't help but look at her eldest daughter-in-law Zhou and asked in a low voice: "What is she doing?"

Zhou smiled and said, "I'll let my daughter-in-law tell you about my sister-in-law's matter later."

Oh, it seems that it is not convenient now.

Seeing this, Madam Xie nodded quickly, "Okay, okay."

So, the topic quickly turned back to what Xiong Jiushan was doing here.

Madam Xie smiled faintly and said, "This time, Yuchuan is working with him and the Magistrate of Yucheng, Lord Feng. It can be considered a blessing in disguise. The team will set off tomorrow. Lord Xiong has received a lot of generous gifts. These gifts come from various sources and vary in importance. He came here to find out the truth and see which ones can be taken away when they set off tomorrow and which ones need to be sent back to avoid future troubles."

Sisters-in-law Zhou and Zhang looked puzzled.

Zhang Dayi stroked his beard and smiled, "Now, his mind has changed. He knows who to befriend and who to stay away from. After all, he doesn't know as much as the old lady in the court."

"I see."

Zhou looked at her mother-in-law, Madam Xie, and asked, "How should mother respond to him?"

Old Madam Xie's eyes were kind. She smiled heartily upon hearing this and said, "The Xie family has fallen to such a state. There is nothing to worry about. What will happen in the future? The Xie family has nothing to fear. The world is all about power. If you want to compete for supremacy, then you will offend others."

"When something is delivered to your door, how can you refuse it? There is still a long way to go."

Mrs. Xie said with a double meaning.
