I unlocked the heroine's chance in the book exile

Chapter 8 Meeting the heroine for the first time

It was another dreamless night. Zhou Jinran woke up at dawn, thinking that the emperor would issue an order to confiscate the family's property at the morning court session. At that time, the officials of the Zhou family would be stripped of their official uniforms and wait for their families at the city gate.

At that time, most people had not yet had breakfast and would walk around hungry all morning.

Zhou Jinran planned to take advantage of the time now to enjoy the precious breakfast with his brother.

Suddenly, Zhou Jinran stopped braiding her hair and asked the sign-in system guiltily.

"Xiaojiu, did I fail to take my brother out of the space last night?"

[Yes, when I reminded the host, he had already fallen asleep.]

So, don’t blame me for not reminding you. If you want to blame someone, just blame yourself for being so careless and leaving the person in the space.

"I was so busy that I forgot. I'm going to go in and apologize to my brother."

Zhou Jinran toured the huge Zhou Mansion last night, and then heard from the system that the Zhou family had embezzled money for disaster relief, which made him so angry that he lost his mind.

You know, in modern times, Zhou Jinran hated corrupt officials very much. Now when he comes here, the corrupt officials he meets are from his own family. Who wouldn't be angry?

After tidying up her messy hair and clothes that had not yet been braided, Zhou Jinran entered the space.

At this time, Zhou Jinan was practicing boxing. When he saw his sister coming in, he hurried over and asked anxiously.

"Sister, are you okay? Did something unexpected happen last night? You didn't come in the whole time. Did something bad happen?"

Looking at his brother who did not blame him for taking the person out but was worried about him, Zhou Jinran felt a warm feeling in his heart and said softly.

"Brother, I'm sorry to have worried you. I'm fine. I was just too tired when I got home last night, so I fell asleep. I was wrong. I forgot to come in and take you out."

When Zhou Jinan heard his sister say that everything was fine, his nervousness slowly relaxed. Last night he saw that his sister didn't put things into the space.

He thought his sister had met with an accident, but he couldn't see what was happening outside in the space.

I had been planning to wait for my younger sister to come in, but no matter how long I waited, there was no sign of her.

If his sister hadn't told him before that if something happened to her the protective mechanism in the space would be activated, he would probably not be able to sleep all night.

After all, if you don’t sleep all night, you will be exhausted when you are exiled, and it will be difficult to deal with any unexpected situation.

"Sister, please don't say anything wrong. You went to collect things by yourself yesterday, and your brother couldn't help you. Besides, you will feel refreshed after a night's rest in the space. Do you think I look energetic now?"

There is a spiritual spring in the space, and it is always surrounded by fairy air. Even if you don’t sleep, you will feel energetic if you stay here.

"My brother is very energetic. Not only is he energetic, but he is also very handsome."

Zhou Jinan was indeed very handsome and had an extraordinary temperament. At the age of fourteen, his stature was already taller than his peers. In addition to studying the six arts, he also had to manage the businesses left behind by Zhou Hao and Wang Jingjing from time to time.

So if he didn't try to hide it, and if his family background was more outstanding, he would probably have become the first choice of the noble ladies in the capital by now.

"Sister, please stop teasing your brother. You don't know how to behave yourself."

"Okay, I won't tease you, brother. Let's eat first, and then we'll go out and clean up and wait for the people who are going to confiscate our property to arrive."

"Okay, let's eat and then leave. Otherwise, if the raiders come and can't see us, we might get into trouble."

After that, the two didn't say much and just lowered their heads to eat breakfast.

Zhou Jinran, who drank a bowl of porridge, said that this was just the original owner's appetite, not hers.

What's more, she didn't have the habit of not being able to eat oily and meaty food in the morning. If she didn't eat meat now, how could she eat it openly after being exiled?

So after drinking a bowl of porridge to soothe his stomach, Zhou Jinran ate a bowl of stewed guinea fowl and two buns.

This guinea fowl not only contains many healthy ingredients, but the chicken is also carefully raised.

This was what Zhou Jinran brought in from the Zhou family’s kitchen yesterday.

None of them have been used. I have to say that the Zhou family still knows how to enjoy them.

Fortunately, she also stockpiled a lot of other prepared foods in her space, so she doesn't have to worry about only being able to eat steamed buns after finishing these.

After finishing their breakfast, Zhou Jinran and his sister waited in their respective yards for the arrival of the house-raiding police.

At this time, there were still those maids in Zhou Jinran's yard. After they entered the yard, they neither approached Zhou Jinran nor ran away.

Seeing that they were used to it, Zhou Jinran felt relieved. After all, it was already this late, so it would be better if nothing unexpected happened.

Unfortunately, sometimes what people fear will come true.

Just as Zhou Jinran was getting himself ready and making his face look like it did when he was sick before, Zhou Jinyan's voice was heard outside.

"How can you be servants? You are all gathered here to have fun, but why don't you go in and serve your sister?"

Zhou Jinran rolled his eyes speechlessly when he heard this in the house. This heroine must be seriously ill, right? Even the patient came to her yard.

Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that she wanted to raise her voice and ask Zhou Jinran to go out to greet her.

But whether it was the original owner or Zhou Jinran, they never gave face to other people in the Zhou family.

Therefore, the heroine can only continue her drama by herself, and now except for the people in Zhou Mansion who did not open their warehouses early in the morning, the others have probably already started to make chaos.

After all, not only the ingredients in the kitchen but also the leftover dishes from yesterday's banquet disappeared.

Even more than half of the food in the granary had disappeared. If someone didn't know the situation, they would have thought it was used for yesterday's banquet.

So, didn't the heroine notice any unusual movements in the mansion along the way?

The heroine's mother is the head lady of the Zhou family, and she actually has the mood to come here.

[The heroine still hasn't given up on the golden finger, so she came here early in the morning. If she were her usual pampered self, she wouldn't have gotten up yet.]

"It doesn't matter if she refuses to give up. Anyway, the things are already in my hands. How can I let others covet what I have?"

Zhou Jinyan in the yard saw that she was talking so loudly and Zhou Jinran in the room didn't come out, so her face fell and she stared at Zhou Jinran's boudoir with dark eyes.

The four maids who were kneeling in the yard trembling with fear accidentally looked up and saw the ferocious face of the kind-hearted lady mentioned by others, and they were stunned.

After all, as servants, reading people's expressions is ingrained in their nature. Therefore, they knew very well whether Miss Yan scolded them out of concern for their young lady or targeting her.

That's why she was stunned because she knew it clearly, because every servant in the Zhou Mansion said that Miss Yan had a kind heart like a bodhisattva.

But if Miss Yan has a kind heart like a bodhisattva, then what does it mean that she never punishes them to kneel or scolds them?

Even though they were so far away, they could often hear the servants complimenting the young lady, but when they thought about who the housekeeper was, they understood.

At this moment, neither Zhou Jinran nor Zhou Jinyan could know what kind of surprises these four maids, the servants in Zhou Jinyan's courtyard, and the people who would come to Zhou Jinran's courtyard later would bring them after they left Beijing.

Zhou Jinyan was furious when she saw Zhou Jinran pretending to be deaf and dumb in the house, and she no longer cared about the flattering attitude she was usually given.

He walked straight over and pushed the door open, while Zhou Jinran just sat leisurely on the small couch.

When Zhou Jinyan saw Zhou Jinran looking at her leisurely, she wanted to rush over and poke out those clear and bright eyes.

She didn't even know that her cousin was so beautiful. She was only twelve years old. If she grew up, she would no longer be the number one person in the capital.

Zhou Jinran watched the heroine's expression change constantly and her eyes rolled around since she pushed the door open.

Is she really worthy of being the heroine?

This appearance was not inferior to those female stars she had seen in her previous life. It was a pity that the malice in her eyes at this moment ruined this good appearance a little.

[She wants to dig out your eyes.]

"No way, isn't she a kind and tough heroine? Why would she want to dig my eyes out?"

Of course, Zhou Jinran was just asking this. If the heroine was really kind, why would she, after getting the original owner's golden finger and the huge amount of wealth, design to kill Zhou Jinan for fear that Zhou Jinan would find out?

And looking at the malice in her eyes, the system didn't even need to tell her, she could feel it even from such a distance.
