Remnant King's Concubine

Chapter 120 Inspection 3
He walked over and said, "You are now in shape, so you can no longer work like before. You are already Zhou's wife, so what can you gain by doing things for the Zhan family? Those buildings were not owned by your brother's son in the end. Can I share one with you?"

Zhan Rong put the counting beads back in place, covered the ledger, and looked at him with his head tilted. The pearls hanging from the hairpin were shining brightly in the candlelight: "If I told you that there is already a building under my name, would you Won't you be surprised?"

He was really surprised: "What did you say?"

"My brother gave me the Tianxiang Tower as a dowry! It's just that I don't want it, and the completed documents are left at Zhan's house and I haven't brought them here!" She smiled, "My brother treats me well, it doesn't matter whether I take it or not. Anyway He will give me whatever I want! I heard that I am pregnant, so I brought all the best pearls and jade from the pavilion, several boxes of ginseng and bird’s nests, and said there are more at home. There are so many, he must have thought that I was getting married and would need it when he bought it for his sister-in-law, so he prepared it for me by the way.

He was so happy just now, and treated me so well, how did he know that my sister kept his life-and-death secret from him and didn't tell him!Tomorrow, everything in the Zhan family will disappear, and the child of sister-in-law will land somewhere... On my side, your Zhou family will do it for the sake of the child, and I will wait until the child lands safely.In short, my child will be born in a greenhouse; the brother and sister-in-law, I am afraid it will be born in the chaotic haystack of the prison cell! "After speaking, she turned and went to bed.

He stood there for a long time before passing, took off his clothes and lay beside her, trying to hug her, but she turned over directly, leaving his hands frozen in the air.

The next day, he went out without having breakfast, and went to Shangyang Palace to find Qin Yunguang and intercede for the Zhan family.As a result, Qin Yunguang asked him to personally lead the troops to arrest people instead.

Zhan Rong was at home, enjoying flowers in the yard with Mrs. Zhou after breakfast.

Mrs. Zhou advised her to pay attention to her body: "We didn't object to you going back to the Yizhan Pavilion to do business, but you can't bear such exhaustion when you are pregnant! You first ask your brother to find someone to take care of those businesses, and after giving birth, After recuperating, I won’t say anything when I go back.”

Zhan Rong didn't answer very seriously, thinking that the people sent by Qin Yunguang should go to Zhan's house, so he quietly told the servant girl to go out and have a look.The servant girl found a reason to leave and ran to Zhan's house, and saw Zhou Xijun passing by with someone on the way.

The people around were whispering to each other, guessing who would be arrested for committing a crime.Nowadays, even the royal relatives like the prince always say that something happens, and others are miserable...

After hearing this, the servant girl grabbed a soldier at the back of the line and asked anxiously, "What happened? Are you going to arrest someone again?"

"Yes!" The soldier was impatient and wanted to push her away.

She held onto it tightly: "Who are you arresting again?"

"Zhanjia! The richest Zhanjia!" The soldier threw her away and caught up with the team in front.

She fell down, got up and ran back to Zhou's house.

Zhan Rong was still admiring the flowers with Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Xiyue in the yard. She walked over and whispered in Zhan Rong's ear, "Young Master brought people there himself!"

When Zhan Rong heard it, he broke the peony that had just bloomed in front of him.

Mrs. Zhou was taken aback. This is the first peony to bloom this spring, and she loves it the most!I wanted to talk about Zhan Rong, but I held back thinking that she was pregnant.

But Zhou Xiyue couldn't help it: "What are you doing? This is my mother's favorite flower!"

Zhan Rong couldn't care less about them, he said "I'm not feeling well" before turning around and walking back.

Mrs. Zhou was worried, and told Zhou Xiyue to follow, but she heard her say to the servant girl: "Go and tell him that I am going to die!"

The servant girl was startled, and Mrs. Zhou was also startled. She hurriedly caught up with her and asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhan Rong stood still and did not speak.She was wearing pink and white clothes, and a string of pearl necklaces hung around her neck. The beads were about the size of a thumb—this size is the best among pearls. It's not that she kept it privately at home, no amount of money would be able to buy it!
She suddenly grabbed the necklace and pulled it down sharply, and the pearls fell to the ground with a clang.

"Ah!" Zhou Xiyue was startled, feeling pity in his heart.

But she suddenly walked forward, her foot stepped on the pearl, and her whole body slid down.She was standing on top of a stone step. She first bumped into a pillar next to her, then fell down the stone step and rolled several times before stopping.

Mrs. Zhou yelled, trying to grab her but couldn't hold her firmly, and then she was petrified.

Her servant girl ran over first, she was so frightened that she couldn't help but cry and call Miss when she helped her up.

Zhan Rong felt a hot current running down the base of his thighs, thinking that the child could not be kept, he immediately pushed the servant girl away: "Hurry up and find my uncle! Tell him...the child is gone..."

"Miss……"

"Hurry up!" Zhan Rong shouted angrily.

Mrs. Zhou has come to her senses, and rushed over: "Zhan Rong, how are you?"

Zhan Rong let go of the maid and didn't answer her.

Zhou Xijun led his people to the door of Yizhan Pavilion, stopped and did not go in immediately.Then Zhan Jun came out, and when he saw him, he was furious: "Zhou Xijun, what are you going to do?"

Zhou Xijun just looked at him quietly, neither spoke nor acted.

Zhan Jun also fell silent suddenly.

After such a stalemate for a while, the deputy general beside Zhou Xijun couldn't wait any longer, so he reminded him a few words in a low voice.His Adam's apple rolled, he swallowed two breaths, and was about to speak when he heard Zhan Rong's maid calling outside: "You let me go, I want to find General Zhou!"

"Let her come here!" he said immediately.

The servant girl ran over, knelt down in front of them, looked at Zhan Jun: "The master..." Then she looked at Zhou Xijun, "My lord...Miss, she, she..."

"What happened to her?" The two asked anxiously.

"Her child is gone!" the servant girl cried loudly.

Zhou Xijun shook his body, and his face lost all color in an instant.

Zhan Jun also stared wide-eyed, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, and roared: "Zhou Xijun, what's going on?"

Zhou Xijun's face trembled, he turned around and said: "Retreat!" Then he left quickly with his people.

Seeing this, the maid who was kneeling on the ground stood up, ran to Zhan Jun and said in a low voice, "Miss did it on purpose... The Emperor wants to copy our Zhan's house!" Then she turned and ran back.

When Zhou Xijun returned home, he saw Mrs. Zhou standing outside his room with a sad and angry face.

"Where is Zhanrong?" He asked.

Mrs. Zhou wiped her tears, and answered the wrong question: "No! The child is gone..."

Zhou Xiyue next to him said: "She did it on purpose! She fell down and slammed into the pillar by herself! Either she didn't want to give birth to our Zhou family's child, or the child wasn't yours—"

"Shut up!" Zhou Xijun yelled.

"You—" Zhou Xiyue suffocated, and tears came suddenly, "You know how to kill me... She doesn't even want your child, and you still protect her!"

Zhou Xijun turned around abruptly and walked into the house.

The doctor and the servant girl were beside the bed, and he watched from a distance, the shadow on the bed seemed lifeless.The doctor came to talk to him, but he didn't hear him.It wasn't until the room was quiet that he walked to the bed, hung up the bed curtain, sat down, and looked at her: "Why..."

She opened her closed eyes, and said lifelessly: "To save life from embarrassment, it would be better to die cleanly."

He was still about to say something, when a voice suddenly came from outside, it was Zhan Jun who came.Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Xiyue hadn't left yet, and they knew they were preventing him from coming in.

Zhan Rong propped up half of her body, Zhou Xijun saw it, but didn't help her, just sat there numbly.

"Brother..." Her face was pale and ugly.

Fortunately, her servant girl came in and hurried over to support her: "Miss?"

"Call my brother in!"

"Yes!" The servant girl hurriedly said to the outside, "Miss, please come in Master Zhan!"

People outside couldn't stop them, so they let Zhan Jun in.Zhan Jun brought two maids with him, and as soon as he came in, he said, "Yan Zhi, pack up Miss's things! Xiao Pei, go and help; Xiao Huan, dress Miss!"
