Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In the blink of an eye, two months had passed, 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 space, 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 pass 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?”
“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?
