After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy

Chapter 41: Marrying Xu Rong, there is a way to survive

Every time Zhou Lai moved, his wound was affected. He grimaced in pain and sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Come on, does it hurt?"

"Yeah." Zhou Lai nodded.

"Are you dead? Come in and carry the young master back." Zhou Qin shouted to the servants brought from outside.

Because of Xu Rui's order, the servant came in smoothly and carefully carried Zhou Lai on his back.

They left the Yonglin Marquis Mansion unhindered.

After getting on the carriage, Zhou Lai grabbed Zhou Qin and said anxiously, "Father, I want to marry Xu Rong."

Zhou Qin looked at him in confusion, "What did you say?"

The Xu family has harmed him to this point, yet he still wants to marry a girl from the Xu family. He must have been crazy.

Zhou Lai explained, "Given Xu Rui's personality, he's definitely going to kill me. The only way for me to survive is if I marry Xu Rong."

Zhou Lai didn't say anything. This was what Jiang Xiyu had told him that day. He had also thought a lot about it over the past few days and felt that this was the only solution.

Zhou Qin also thought this was a good idea. If he married Xu Rong, he could not only protect Zhou Lai, but also establish a relationship with the Yonglin Marquisate. After all, Xu Rong was Xu Rui's biological sister. No matter what, he would help him for Xu Rong's sake.

Zhou Qin's lips curled up into a smile, and when his frivolous gaze fell on Zhou Lai's legs, his brows slightly furrowed.

Zhou Lai endured the pain and crossed his legs, his face full of embarrassment. Thinking that all this was Xu Rong's bad idea, which was why he was now in a state of being neither human nor ghost, he gritted his teeth and said, "Xu Rong owes me all this. I will marry her and torture her to death to relieve the hatred in my heart."

Zhou Qin also thought of the people in Yonglin Marquis Mansion. He was also very angry about what Zhou Lai had done. "Everything is up to you. Father will definitely help you with all his strength."

"Thank you, father." Zhou Lai said.

After what happened these days, Zhou Lai has become mature. He is no longer the unlearned person who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. Zhou Qin looks at Zhou Lai now, feeling both relieved and distressed.

Xu Rong had no idea that she had become part of the Zhou family's father and son's scheme.

"Mother, I want to enter the palace as a concubine, I want to be the queen." Xu Rong held her head high and told Zheng about her lofty goals.

Zheng was shocked by her words and scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? Your brother will not allow this."

Xu Rong put the teacup down hard on the table, causing some of the tea to spill out. She was very dissatisfied and asked, "Why won't my brother let me enter the palace?"

The palace would select beauties every three years. Many high-ranking officials and nobles in Jingdu would send their daughters who were good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting and had outstanding looks to the palace to participate in the selection. If they were chosen, they might gain power in the future, and the whole family would become rich and prosperous.

Xu Rong wanted to attend three years ago, but was stopped by Xu Rui. She has always felt resentful.

I thought that if Xu Rui had agreed three years ago, coupled with his relationship with Gu Wei, he would be one of the four concubines now.

Seeing Xu Rong's innocent look, Zheng sighed softly, "You are still young and don't understand some things. Don't be fooled by the people in the palace. They look bright and beautiful, but that's just the surface. Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Once you make a mistake, not only will you be hurt, but the entire Yonglin Marquis Mansion will be implicated. The emperor

"You have always cared about the Yonglin Marquisate and my brother's future, but no one has ever cared about me."

Seeing that Xu Rong refused to listen and even made a fuss no matter what she said, Zheng felt a headache coming on.

During this period, she couldn't sleep well because Jiang Xiyu and Zhou Lai had been making so much noise. Now Xu Rong was so ignorant, Zheng's anger was rising.

"Shut up, you're attracted to the King of Qin. I'll ask your brother to find a way to make you his consort. As for entering the palace, just give up on that idea."

Xu Rong was shocked by Zheng. Usually, Zheng always responded to her requests, but now she was so angry. She was very angry.

They all just know how to bully her.

"The King of Qin is ill, and who knows how long he can live. I don't want to marry him and become a widow. Now he looks down on me, and I look down on him too. Besides, being the King of Qin's Consort is not as great as being the Queen."

She originally liked Gulin's looks, but after being humiliated repeatedly, she no longer liked him and only wanted to enter the palace to be the queen. When Gulin saw her, he would have to salute her.

After saying that, Xu Rong grabbed Zheng's hand and begged.

"Mother, for my happiness, please help me talk to my brother and ask him to come forward and ask His Majesty to ask for help. My brother has made military achievements this time, and His Majesty has not yet officially rewarded him. If my brother asks, His Majesty will definitely agree to let me enter the palace."

Zheng frowned, looked cold and silent.

In fact, it wasn't that she didn't want to, it was that Xu Rui disagreed.

She had mentioned this matter before, but was directly rejected by Xu Rui.

Xu Rong still refused to give up. She poured Zheng a cup of tea and pleaded, "Mother, please, help Rong'er just this once, just this once. When I gain power in the palace, I will definitely not forget you. Think about it, you will be the queen's mother in the future. Everyone who sees you will have to give you some face and treat you with respect."

These words really made Zheng a little moved.

Even though she is the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion, she has not had a good life in recent years.

He was always worried about all kinds of things. When the old marquis was alive, he was a playboy and had affairs with women everywhere.

After her death, she was left with various romantic debts. The noble ladies in Kyoto were secretly teasing her.

"I'll try." Zheng said.

Xu Rong hugged Zheng's arm with a smile on her face and said in a sweet voice, "Mother, you are the best. I will definitely remember all your kindness to me."

Night falls quietly.

Jiang Xiyu looked at Qing'er who was still busy packing up and couldn't help but said, "Qing'er, you don't have to pack up anymore. Sit down and take a rest."

Qing'er had already put away more than a dozen large boxes, and the room was full of things.

"Madam, we are moving tomorrow. I will try my best to pack out everything you need, otherwise it will be inconvenient when you need it."

Seeing that Qing'er had always been by her side and treated her wholeheartedly in two lifetimes, Jiang Xiyu's heart was warmed.

"You don't have to be gone for long. These things are enough now. You've been packing for so long. Come and have some tea." Jiang Xiyu poured her a cup of tea.

Qing'er, who was not very thirsty to begin with, felt her throat a little dry after hearing what Jiang Xiyu said. She turned around, took the tea and drank it all in one gulp.

Just as he put down his teacup, he saw Xu Rui coming in and quickly bowed to him, "My Lord."
