A car accident, our family of three crossed

Zhou Huan was a bastard's son, born to the concubine whom the old marquis had forcibly taken in when he was young.

Although he is a bastard's son, he has been excellent in all aspects since he was a child, and is also the most promising son of the old marquis.

It's a pity that his excellence robbed the legitimate son of his glory, and he was often targeted and suppressed by his legitimate mother and brothers since childhood.

Later, the old marquis died of illness, and he learned to hide his edge. After he came of age, his stepmother randomly arranged a wife for him and separated the illegitimate sons in the marquis's mansion who had already grown up and were married.

Although the family has been separated, as long as there is no falling out, they still have to maintain the appearance of interacting with each other.

Therefore, unless there were special circumstances, those illegitimate sons who were forced to live separately would still return to the marquis's mansion every year to celebrate the New Year together, and the same was true for Zhou Huan's family.

And now, they had just returned to the capital, and the people in the Marquis' Mansion must have received the news. If they didn't come and take a look, they would inevitably be gossiped about.

The family of three entered the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion carrying gifts. After paying their respects to the old lady, the men went to the study to talk, and Zhou Ru was kept by the female family members.

They had lunch in the Marquis' Mansion. When they were about to leave, Zhou Huan and his son were allowed to go. However, Zhou Ru was detained on the grounds that the old lady Zhou Ru had not returned for a long time and should stay in the Marquis' Mansion to be close to her sisters at home.

Zhou Ting was a little worried that his silly girl would suffer if she stayed here. After all, this mansion was inhabited by all kinds of evil spirits, and Zhou Ru, a silly girl, could never beat them.

But the reasons given by the old lady were reasonable, and as her children and grandchildren, they didn't know what to say. They could only give Zhou Ru a look that reminded her to be cautious.

After coming out of Cheng'en Marquis Mansion, Zhou Ting immediately ordered Zhou Yin to personally protect Zhou Ru in secret and try his best to prevent her from being bullied.

Zhou Ru, who was detained, felt helpless at this moment. She said she wanted to get in touch with the sisters in the Marquis' Mansion and get close to them. Please, she didn't want to get close to these two-faced people at all.

Being locked up in this big cage every day and playing tricks on these people must be tiring!

But who can blame them for being elders? Regardless of what they are thinking, after all, no one can find fault with their request!

If she refused, as soon as she stepped out of the mansion today, rumors would spread tomorrow that she had no regard for family ties and no respect for elders.

Although she basically only came to the capital once a year, and perhaps few people in the capital knew her, people didn't know her, but they knew her father and brother! If she had a bad reputation, her brother would also be gossiped about if he lived in the capital in the future.

Zhou Ru muttered to herself in her heart, since it has come, she will just make the best of it, no matter what kind of monsters and demons they are, she will just deal with them as they come.

On the other side, Zhou Huan and his son just arrived at the mansion, took a short rest, and then quietly went to Prince Rui's mansion to deliver the things that Song Ning asked them to deliver.

Chu Fang seemed to have smelled something. He arrived right after they delivered the things.

"Let this general see what you have brought back."

The corners of Zhou Huan's mouth twitched slightly. This guy must be born in the year of the dog. He has a dog's nose and can smell the scent from far away.

Sitting at the main seat at the top, Xiao Yun was looking at a thick stack of letters with great interest. To be exact, it was paintings drawn by the little guy.

I think the little guy probably didn't recognize all the words and couldn't write many words, so he used paintings instead of letters, and drew everything he wanted to say into the paintings.

When Chu Fang was looking through the pile of goods, he noticed that Xiao Yun was looking at a stack of paintings with great interest, so he went over to take a look out of curiosity.

"Cousin, what are you looking at?"

Xiao Yun never took his eyes off the pile of paintings, nor did he pay any attention to him. He lowered his head to look at the contents of each frame.

Chu Fang watched for a while and finally understood, "This was drawn by little guy Yangyang, right? This little guy is really smart. He can't write but he knows how to use drawings instead of letters. He really deserves to be my..."

The three words "nephew" almost came out of his mouth, but he stopped quickly when Xiao Yun gave him a death stare.

Chu Fang felt a little guilty. He coughed twice and went back to look at the goods again.

He flipped through the sealed jars and saw the names written on them, such as canned braised pork, canned dried fish, mushroom meat sauce and various sauces, etc. Just seeing these names, he felt his saliva starting to secrete.

In addition to these cans, there were also two jars of wine. Zhou Ting explained, "This is the fruit wine brewed by Sister Hang. The quantity is not large, so she only sent these two small jars."

"Really? Then I have to try it."

As Chu Fang spoke, he opened one of the jars, took out a small pot's worth of liquid, and poured a cup each for himself and Xiao Yun.

He picked up his cup, drank it in one gulp, and then asked in surprise: "Huh? Sweet?"

The taste of this fruit wine is quite different from that of the fruit wine in Beijing. The fruit wine in Beijing has fruity aroma but not much sweetness.

He drank too quickly just now and didn't have time to savor it carefully. Chu Fang poured himself another glass, took a small sip, and savored it carefully. He felt a warmth flowing through his body.

"I never thought that although this wine is not strong, it can keep me warm." He drank the rest of the wine in the glass. "I only drank two glasses and I feel warm all over."

Seeing that he didn't seem to take the fruit wine seriously, Zhou Ting kindly reminded him, "Young General, although this wine is sweet, don't drink too much. This wine doesn't taste like strong liquor, but it has a strong aftertaste!"

Zhou Huan also echoed, "A Ting is right, don't underestimate this sweet wine."

"Tsk, how can this last? Stop trying to bluff me." Chu Fang didn't take Zhou Ting's reminder seriously. Instead, he said, "With this kind of wine, with my drinking capacity, I can finish these two jars by myself."

The father and son were silent. Were they talking about how much one could drink?

Even children can drink this sweet fruit wine as if it were water, but after drinking it, who can resist it and who can't, that becomes a problem.

Zhou Ting thought that he should stop meddling in other people's business and that he should equally respect the fate of everyone who did not listen to advice.

Next, he coldly watched the young general who had made such a bold statement drink up the whole pot of wine. He could already foresee that in another hour or two, the young general would suffer for his refusal to listen to advice.

I think he couldn't help but drink a few more glasses because the wine was so sweet and delicious.

After drinking, he didn't have much reaction at first, but as the alcohol took effect, he became drunk and unconscious. As soon as he fell into the bed, he fell asleep until the next day.
