Chapter 778: Chapter 778 Pa.s.sing On The News
....Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In the blink of an eye, two months had pa.s.sed, and it was the middle of the day. The weather was so stuffy that people were annoyed, and Guoguo kept crying.
During the day, Zhou Ying did not dare to bring her into the s.p.a.ce, so she decided to stay in to avoid the heat.
One day, Zhou Ying and the others were ready to set off when Mingyu rushed over with her son, Zhuangzhuang.
Zhou Ying saw that her expression was not right. She welcomed her into the house and asked, “What’s wrong? Did you two quarrel?”
“Can’t it be something else?”
“I don’t owe you money.”
Mingyu rolled her eyes at her. She waved her hand and chased out all the irrelevant people in the room before saying, “I’m afraid the retired Emperor is in trouble. Wanning asked my father to help pa.s.s a message. If there’s any celebratory event you want to do, hurry up and get it done.”
“How could that be? Wasn’t everything fine before?”
“No idea. Someone threw a large amount of ice into the retired Emperor’s bedroom, and he fell sick from the cold overnight. I heard that he even choked on his lungs.
“You know that the retired Emperor is most afraid of catching a cold at this moment.
“I heard from my father that he’s coughing so much that he can’t even speak, and every time he coughs, there’s blood.”
“Wait, this is basically murder. Have they found out who did it?”
“After finding out about a little eunuch, the clues were cut off. I’m afraid it won’t be easy to investigate further.”
Zhou Ying did not know what to say after hearing this. After all, the retired Emperor had offended many people during his reign, so investigating this was difficult.
But one thing was for sure, the palace was filled with dirt.
After that, the two of them chatted for a while. When Mingyu learned that Zhou Ying was going to the manor, she said, “Let’s go together. We can have company then.”
“Alright, pack up quickly. We’ll set off early tomorrow morning.”
“No problem, it’s a deal.” After Mingyu finished speaking, she brought her son back to pack her things in a hurry.
Meanwhile, Zhou Ying put down Guoguo and went out with some food. She went to Second Uncle Gu’s house in West City.
Mrs. Yao saw her enter, paused, and greeted her with a smile. “Ying’Er, you’re here. Come in and take a seat.”
“Thanks,” Zhou Ying replied. After handing the food to her, she followed her into the house.
“I heard that you opened a pastry shop in Northern City. How’s business?”
“It’s not bad, as we mainly sell common treats. Now, mung bean cakes are in short supply every day.”
“That’s good. With a living, things will slowly get better. Oh, right, where’s Ziqiong?” Zhou Ying asked.
“She’s helping out in the shop. She left me at home to take care of the two children.”
“Has her pre-wedding rites been completed?”
“It has. Did something happen?” Mrs. Yao asked.
“Ziqiong is seventeen now, right?”
“Yes, she’s been in mourning for your grandmother for a year. That’s why her wedding was delayed.”
“Hold her wedding ceremony as soon as possible, just in case.”
“What happened?”
“I heard that the retired Emperor is sick.”
Mrs. Yao was shocked after hearing this and swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. This matter could not be spread simply.
Zhou Ying was quite satisfied. She stood up and said, “Guoguo is still at home. I’ll go back now.”
“Wait. It’s already noon. Why don’t you have a meal before you leave?”
“No, Guoguo won’t eat properly if I don’t go back. Thank you for the offer.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she stood up and walked out.
The moment she left, Mrs. Yao started to panic. She had also heard a little about the retired Emperor’s situation. His body simply couldn’t take it anymore. What if…
It seemed that this marriage had to be held as soon as possible.
The key was that the two of them were not young anymore.. Who knew what would happen if they kept mourning for another three years?
