Zhou mansion

The moment Zhou Dehong returned to the manor, he asked the servants, “Where’s the old master?

“In the back garden!” The servant replied.

He hurried to the back garden.

Before they even reached the back garden, they could hear the melodious sound of a zither coming from the pavilion.

In the pavilion, there was a woman in a pink-purple dress.

Her hair was combed into a five-Phoenix bun, and a Pearl hairpin was inserted diagonally on her head. Her skin was fair and clean.

She had round and delicate ears, a round and white forehead, a pair of delicate and thin curved eyebrows, a small and straight nose, red lips, and long and open eyelashes.

At this moment, the woman lowered her head and a pair of white and delicate hands played the zither and she sang softly!

At this moment, a gentle breeze blew over and lifted the soft veil of the pavilion. At the same time, the gentle breeze brushed past the woman’s forehead. Her black hair fluttered and her clothes fluttered. It was as if she was a fairy in a Fairyland, like a dream.

The scene of this beauty playing the zither made the people in the distance a little stunned.

They listened to the melodious sound of the zither, their eyes fixed on the beauty in the pavilion. They didn’t dare to move, afraid that if they made a sound, they would scare the beauty away.

After an unknown amount of time, the song ended. The woman seemed to have heard movement and immediately raised her head. A pair of moving and bright, beautiful eyes entered the person’s sight. She didnt seem surprised at all when she saw the person who had arrived. Her red lips opened slightly, and she lightly called out, Father!” The voice was pleasant to the ears, but it sounded emotionless.

That’s right, this woman was Zhou Wenya, the most beautiful and talented woman in the capital.

She was also Zhou Dehongs eldest daughter.

Zhou Dehong came back to his senses and coughed lightly. He walked over and said, “Ya ‘er’s music is even more melodious now. I’ve forgotten everything around me. My daughter, you’re indeed the most talented woman in the capital!

An old man with a white beard, Zhou Zhenlin, who was also Zhou Dehongs father, immediately put on a frightened face and said, “Our Ya ‘er is the most beautiful and talented woman in the world, and not only the capital. What nonsense!

He then turned to Zhou Wenya and said, “Ya ‘er, you must be tired. Go and rest!

One look at Zhou Dehongs slightly anxious expression, and he knew that Zhou Dehong must have something to tell him.

However, there were some things that the Zhou family had always kept from Zhou Wenya.

Zhou Wenya’s beauty and talent were the chips for the Zhou family to fight for power.

Their current goal was to push Zhou Wenya to the throne of the Empress, then give birth to the emperor’s son, and then

Zhou Wenya was well aware of the significance of her existence in the Zhou family.

The Zhou family had spent a lot of resources and money on her, doing their best to cultivate her just to make her into a tool.

However, she didn’t care.

Children born in large families knew their own fate from birth.

They would either become useful tools or an abandoned child of their family.

As for those who were of value, the clan would give them the most resources and honor. After that, they would enjoy endless glory. In the future, they might be used by the clan through marriage or sent to the Imperial Palace as concubines. No matter which one it was, it would be beneficial to the development of the clan’s power.

As for the women, they would have everything they needed from their maiden families to complete their missions.

To put it bluntly, their relationship with the family was only one of mutual use.

Zhou Wenya understood her mission very well!

And that was to become the Empress!

That was her goal too.

Therefore, she was beautiful and was serious about learning talents!

Zhou Wenya stood up calmly and said to the two of them in an elegant and respectful manner, “Grandfather, father, ya ‘er will take her leave!”

Zhou Zhenlin and Zhou Dehong looked at the beautiful figure in the distance and retracted their gazes.

Zhou Zhenlin’s face darkened and he asked directly, “Tell me, what happened to make you so flustered when you went to Duke Zhengguo’s mansion and came back in such a hurry?

Zhou Dehong looked at his fathers sullen face and looked around. Then, he lowered his head and said to his father, “Father, Jiang Zhennan has gone to Duke Zhengguo i s mansion to attend the wedding banquet.”

“Jiang Zhennan is Jiang Yunfengs eldest son, Zhou Zhenlin said calmly.. “isn’t it normal for the elder brother to attend the younger brother’s wedding?
