Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man
Chapter 143: Trial of the Slave
Zhou Qi and Zhou Mian spent a full hour and a half writing a letter, sealing it and handing it to Feng Gang: "You have come from afar, there is no reason for you to return immediately, not to mention that you have not seen your elder brother yet.
"Let's settle down first. We can also prepare some gifts for Grandpa."
Zhou Yu hurried back the next day and went to see his two sisters first. As soon as he entered the Zhao family's yard, he saw Madam Hu, who was still thrown against the wall and looked listless.
Although Madam Hu's mouth was blocked, she still tried hard to make sobbing sounds.
Zhou Yu ignored her and went straight to where his sister was staying. He asked through the window, "Qi'er, Mianmian, our elder brother is back."
The two sisters hurried out to greet them.
Zhou Yu waved his hand and asked, "I heard that Grandfather sent someone to pick you up? Is it that the servant is giving you trouble?"
The two sisters smiled, and Zhou Mian excitedly recounted what happened yesterday.
The nervousness on Zhou Yu's face disappeared, replaced by praise, "Qi'er, you did a great job!"
Zhou Qi blushed in embarrassment, "I... I'm just holding on. If I take a step back, what will happen to Mianmian?"
Zhou Yu nodded, feeling both relieved and distressed: "Qi'er has grown up. Don't worry, you can decide whether to stay or go. I'll talk to Grandfather."
The two sisters were deeply moved and said, "We don't want to go back yet."
"Okay," Zhou Yu nodded, "I'll go write a letter to my grandfather."
"Brother," Zhou Qi said hurriedly, "We also wrote a letter to grandfather and expressed our wishes.
"We are not ignorant children. Although Madam Hu didn't explain it clearly, we can guess what she meant. It seems that the Ninth Prince wants to marry into our family."
Zhou Yu's face darkened. He looked around and asked Xu Xia to bring out a table and chairs. The three siblings sat down in the courtyard. "Tell me in detail."
Zhou Qi repeated what Madam Hu had said yesterday.
Zhou Yu turned around and asked Xu Xia to bring Madam Hu over. He pulled out the cloth stuffed in her mouth but did not untie her.
Aunt Hu's mouth was numb and she couldn't speak clearly at first, but she started begging for mercy as soon as she opened her mouth.
When Zhou Yu cast a cold gaze at her, she shut up, lowered her head and shivered.
Although it was warm during the day, she still felt cold to the bone when she slept on the ground at night.
She is fifty years old now. She has never known what suffering is like since she was ten years old. When she woke up today, she felt like she had lost half her life.
Miss, you are so cruel!
"Mrs. Hu," Zhou Yu asked calmly, "Why are you so anxious to take the eldest and second young ladies back home? What's your purpose?"
Xu Xia shouted, "Speak!"
Madam Hu shuddered and said hoarsely, "It's just that the old man wants to..."
"Tell the truth." Zhou Yu glanced at her indifferently.
Xu Xia bent down and tapped her.
Madam Hu immediately let out a howl like a pig being slaughtered.
Zhou Yu originally wanted to ask his two sisters to leave, but after thinking about it, he gave up.
Madam Hu was sweating profusely from the pain, and her face was covered with tears and snot. She immediately begged for mercy: "Old slave... Old slave will tell you everything!"
Xu Xia tapped her again.
Nanny Hu curled up into a ball, gasping for breath. When she saw Xu Xia move slightly, she immediately shivered with fear.
Zhou Yu looked at his two sisters with concern. Although they were pressed tightly together, they showed no sign of retreating. He said, "Go ahead."
Madam Hu spoke incoherently, "It was someone close to His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince who came to me and told me that the two young ladies had suffered so much that they might not be able to get married in the future.
"His Highness the Ninth Prince felt compassion and wanted to take care of them for the rest of their lives, so that the old man could have his regrets resolved.
"He also said that when the Ninth Prince ascends the throne, the eldest daughter will be the Imperial Concubine, and the second daughter will be the head of the four concubines.
"If the two young ladies hadn't suffered so much, the Ninth Prince would have been willing to make one of them the Queen...
"Even if they can't become queens, they will be allowed to enjoy wealth and splendor in the harem in the future..."
Zhou Yu's expression grew increasingly cold.
Matron Hu glanced at him secretly and dared not say anything more.
Zhou Yu asked, "Did the Ninth Prince say this himself, or was it just speculation by those around him?"
Matron Hu thought carefully and said unsurely, "It's unlikely that His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince said it himself. He did mention it to the old man, but he refused before he could finish.
"But, my Lord, what good future can there be for people like these two young ladies? Is there any better future than becoming a royal concubine?"
Without waiting for Zhou Yu's instructions, Xu Xia slapped her in the face.
The corner of Madam Hu's mouth was broken by the beating, and blood immediately flowed out.
Zhou Yu said coldly: "It seems that Grandfather is still old. How can he tolerate slaves like you!"
Madam Hu's heart skipped a beat, realizing she had touched Zhou Yu's sore spot. She quickly struggled and kowtowed, "Master, spare me! I said the wrong thing! I deserve to die!"
"You deserve to die," Zhou Yu snorted, "but don't dirty my sister's eyes!"
Xu Xia gagged her again and threw her back against the wall.
Zhou Yu took a deep breath, turned to look at his two sisters, and asked gently, "Is it not frightening you?"
The two sisters shook their heads, "Brother, then we can't go back. Although His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince treats us well, we don't want to be imperial concubines.
"We don't care about the wealth and splendor that others see, and we don't want to be used as a bargaining chip by the Ninth Prince to control our mansion."
Zhou Yu's eyes became gentler, and he said firmly, "Don't worry, I will never let you become anyone's pawns at any time."
The two sisters couldn't help but feel a lump in their throats.
Zhou Yu raised his hand and touched their heads, comforting them: "I'm sorry to have frightened you today. Take a good rest first. I'll take care of the rest."
The two sisters nodded, sent Zhou Yu out, and then turned back to the house. They really had no mood to do anything.
Zhou Yu returned to his room and immediately wrote a letter to his grandfather. After sealing it, he gave it to Feng Gang and asked him to take all the people he brought back.
Feng Gang hesitated for a moment and said, "Young Master, before we leave, the old man has two more words for you to pass on."
Zhou Yu was a little curious.
Feng Gang said, "The old man said that you are short of manpower here, and he has nothing urgent to do. If you can use us, we can stay and be of service."
Zhou Yu curled his lips and said, "In that case... I won't be polite. Feng Gang, can you do farm work?"
"Farm...farm work?" Feng Gang was stunned.
"Jinzhi," Zhou Yu called Zhang Jinzhi over, "Take Guard Feng to your vegetable patch and teach him some tips on growing vegetables."
Zhang Jinzhi took the order and left with Feng Gang.
Zhou Yu looked up into the void and murmured, "Ninth Prince, Ninth Prince, I hope you won't disappoint those who follow you in the future."
