"Mao'er! Have you delivered the visiting card?!"

Zhou's father was waiting at the gatehouse for his son to return home from work.

It's been many days, how come there is no news at all? !

Although he could go directly, the Zhou family's old house is now a very lively place, with people coming to visit and reminisce endlessly.

If you go there rashly, you will not only lose your status, but also make a fool of yourself.

"Of course it was delivered."

"Then why is it that after so long, there is still no news?"

"Maybe there are too many people over there and they are too busy to take care of their own family for a while."

Zhou Maocai would not tell his father that he had already gone to the old house to meet people the day after the post was delivered.

Now he is very calm.

Know what you should do next and how to do it.

In the end, Zhou's father did not receive the news he was waiting for, but instead received the news that his biological mother was seriously ill.

His biological mother was not among the people from the Zhou family who came this time.

Only an old steward came to the Zhou family's old house, and respectfully invited him and his wife to go back to their hometown to take care of their mother.

Everything seemed to have been planned long ago, leaving Zhou's father and mother no time to react.

We were invited to board the bus directly without any luggage.

He said that someone would clean up behind and catch up later.

"Uncle Li, what's going on? Why is my aunt so ill?"

Father Zhou, who was sitting in the carriage, asked the old butler who was driving the carriage, feeling puzzled.

"Third Master, how could a servant like me know the inside story of this matter? I just followed the orders of the old master."

Uncle Li drove the carriage to reply without any delay.

But the carriage was going so fast that Mrs. Zhou was almost torn apart.

"Uncle Li! The journey is long. Even if you are in a hurry, you don't have to rush so fast!" She really couldn't stand it anymore.

"Please forgive me, Madam Third. This is all God's order. I dare not waste time."

How can you travel without resting or eating? At night, Zhou's father finally felt something was wrong.

After finally reaching the post station, they were too tired to talk.

After a quick meal, Zhou's father discovered that not only Uncle Li was returning with them, but also several guards who looked quite skilled.

There wouldn't be such staffing when I go back to take care of the patient.

He directly stopped Uncle Li who wanted to rest, "Is my aunt really seriously ill?"

Uncle Li was not annoyed, and replied in a businesslike manner, "Third Master, this is all the old master's order. You will understand when you arrive."

In this way, they only stopped once a day and rode at full speed. The journey that would have taken more than half a month was completed in just nine days.

Moreover, as soon as they returned to the old house, Zhou's father was taken directly to the ancestral temple and Zhou's mother was locked up in a side courtyard.

At this point, what is there to not understand?

It’s not like his biological mother is seriously ill and needs his biological son to take care of her.

These are just excuses to the outside world.

The real purpose was to punish him by making him kneel down in the ancestral hall.

The old man probably knew all his plans and plots in the capital.

He didn't even want to meet him, and directly had him arrested and brought back. It can be seen how angry he was.

If they hadn't taken Mao'er's reputation into consideration, they would probably be in a worse situation.

Zhou Tingting was still hoping that she would be rescued by her family, but she didn't expect that the people who wanted to rescue her were simply packed up and sent away.

She didn’t know if her house arrest order would ever be lifted in this lifetime.
