There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 700

[Chapter 700, You Come To Me]

people in the capital were really excited for several days because of the great results of the Northern Xinjiang War. .

Zhou Fu.

Zhou Jingyun thought of her mother not thinking about food and tea recently, so she personally cooked two snacks and sent them to her. As soon as she walked to the door, she heard her mother’s suppressed crying.

“I heard that the Ministry of Punishment has tortured several officials to death because of the interrogation. The master is a weak scholar. How can the master endure the torture of the Ministry of punishment. Our family can’t even get close to the door of the Ministry of punishment, so we don’t know how the master is doing now.”

After hearing the intermittent words in the room, Zhou Jingyun’s face turned pale in an instant, she was silent for a while, and ran out of the yard holding her skirt.

“Jingwan, please help me.”

Zhou Jingyun was about to kneel down as soon as she entered Zhou Jingwan’s room.

Seeing Zhou Jingwan, she was startled, and quickly supported him: “What’s the matter, what happened?”

Zhou Jingyun hurriedly told Zhou Jingwan what she had just heard: “Jingwan, the eldest son of the servant of the Ministry of Punishment and you The engaged Peng Mingchi is a close friend. Please accompany me to find Peng Mingchi and ask him to intercede and let me go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to see my father, okay? My father has been imprisoned for more than two months, and I am really worried about him ”

Zhou Jingwan looked embarrassed, she was not consulted on the marriage that the family had arranged for her at the beginning, and when she knew it, the Peng family had already come to make a decision.

Later, with the help of her family, although she met Peng Mingchi twice, she really couldn’t get along with him. After her second uncle had an accident, her mother and second aunt took her to Peng’s house. I still remember Mrs. Peng’s cold and distant attitude.

“Jingyun, even if I beg Peng Mingchi, he may not agree.”

Zhou Jingyun shook her head: “No, it has been so long since our family had an accident, but the Peng family has never come to withdraw the marriage, which shows that he likes you .”

Zhou Jingwan smiled bitterly: “It’s not because of me that the Peng family didn’t withdraw their marriage. It’s because the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is a student of grandfather. Their family is not withdrawing their marriage now, but they don’t want to bear the reputation of treachery.”

Zhou Jingyun said anxiously: “Anyway , now you and Peng Mingchi are engaged, you go to him, he won’t see you soon.”

Looking at her teary-eyed younger sister, and thinking of how her second uncle and aunt care about her, Zhou Jingwan softened her heart and nodded: “Okay, I’ll accompany you for a walk.”

Hearing this, Zhou Jingyun immediately smiled with joy, “Thank you, Jingwan.”

As soon as Zhou Jingwan and Zhou Jingyun left in the carriage, a team of guards came and surrounded the Zhou residence: “The emperor has ordered that from now on, the Zhou family is only allowed to enter and not to exit.”

Zhou Jingyun grew up in the capital, and she has her own way of collecting information. Soon, she found out that Peng Mingchi was attending a poetry meeting in Yunhe Tower.

“Jingwan, let’s go over quickly.”

At the same time, on the second floor of Yunhe Tower, Peng Mingchi and several young masters and young ladies were playing a poetry recitation game of Qushui Liushang.

The prince and the lady are divided into two places, with a screen in the middle. Everyone sits beside the winding canal. They place wine glasses on the canal and let them flow downstream. Whoever the wine glass stops in front of them will compose a poem. Then everyone will comment.

When Zhou Jingyun brought Zhou Jingwan here, the atmosphere here was at its climax.

There is no other reason, someone has made a masterpiece, and everyone is vying to applaud it.

“Mr. Peng is really a rare genius among heavenly beings. I must copy the poem just now and appreciate it.” Du Qing, who is the official envoy, did not hesitate to praise her.

To this, Peng Mingchi just smiled without any other reaction. Just as he was putting the wine glass into the ditch to prepare for the next round, his gaze fell on Zhou Jingwan and Zhou Jingyun at the entrance of the building.

Peng Mingchi was overjoyed, he was about to get up and go there, but he thought of the instructions from his parents and elder brother before going out, hesitated for a moment, and sat back again.

He actually likes Zhou Jingwan, a girl who likes to be in a daze at every turn. Although this girl has no ink in her stomach, and her appearance is not the best among the ladies in the capital, when he is with her, he is very relaxed and at ease.

Home, isn’t it a resting place where people can put down all their armor and masks after being tired?

He felt that Zhou Jingwan could give him such a home.

Originally thought that he could marry Zhou Jingwan this year, but unexpectedly, Zhou Shilang was involved in the case of the Eight Kings’ henchmen.

Just now he has learned from his friend that the Zhou Mansion is now surrounded by guards.

Although he didn’t know how the Zhou sisters got out, he was clear about their purpose in coming to him.

Although he wanted to help, he was powerless.

Coupled with the special nature of the case of the Eight Kings’ Clan, his father and brother had repeatedly warned him that if he got too involved with the Zhou family, their family might also be involved, and he had to be responsible to his family!

Peng Mingchi forced himself not to look at the two figures coming out of the building, but Zhou Jingwan, under Zhou Jingyun’s begging, mustered up the courage to walk over.

Just when Peng Mingchi saw Zhou Jingwan’s figure getting closer from the corner of his eye, suddenly, a pink figure blocked his sight.

“Miss Zhou, why are you here?”

Du Qing looked at Zhou Jingwan arrogantly. If she said that she needed to give the girl of the Zhou family some face before, but now, she doesn’t need it at all.

Zhou Jingwan glanced at her: “I’m here to find Mr. Peng, please let me go.”

Du Qing turned her head to look at Peng Mingchi who was sitting still, smiled sweetly, and said to Zhou Jingwan in a low voice: “Miss Zhou, you have to be a man. Have a good eye, don’t you see that Mr. Peng doesn’t want to see you?”

Zhou Jingwan also noticed Peng Mingchi’s reaction, she couldn’t tell what she felt in her heart, let’s say she was sad, she didn’t have feelings for this man, since she got engaged to him He didn’t expect much; let’s not be sad, he is her fiancé, and now that the Zhou family is in trouble, he is so indifferent, how indifferent!

Zhou Jingwan glanced back at her cousin who was about to cry, took a deep breath, cheekily walked away from Du Qing and walked towards Peng Mingchi.

Unexpectedly, Du Qing stopped him after taking two steps.

Zhou Jingwan frowned: “Miss Du, what are you doing?”

Du Qing: “I invited everyone to this poetry meeting today, and I am the host. As the host, I don’t want to see some dubious people come and disturb Please leave everyone.”

“Du Qing, don’t go too far!”

Zhou Jingyun walked over and looked at Du Qing angrily.

Du Qing sneered, then rolled her eyes, and took the jug beside her: “Everyone who attends a banquet must have a post, you can’t come to my poetry meeting empty-handed, so as long as you take this jug of wine After you drink it, I’ll let you go to see Mr. Peng.” As he spoke, he passed the jug in his hand to Zhou Jingwan.

Seeing Zhou Jingwan standing still, Du Qing smiled provocatively: “Why, don’t you dare?”

At this time, other people present began to boo.

Peng Mingchi couldn’t see it, and wanted to get up to stop him, but he was stopped by his friend next to him.

“Do you really want to marry a daughter of the Zhou family? You should know the emperor’s hatred for the henchmen of the Eight Kings. The Zhou family is over. Listen to me. Don’t worry about it. Let Miss Du drive them away. If you show softness, they will I will cling to you like a life-saving straw, and sometimes you will not be able to get rid of it even if you want to.”

Hearing this, Peng Mingchi sat back up halfway.

On the other side, Du Qing saw Peng Mingchi’s hesitation and frowned involuntarily.

She has always admired Peng Mingchi, but before she could express her affection, the Peng family got engaged to the Zhou family.

Knowing that Peng Mingchi doesn’t like aggressive girls, she pondered for a moment, then glanced at Zuo Meng of Shaoqing’s family in Dali Temple, and beckoned her to help her.

Zuo Meng received a friend’s help-seeking eyes, and immediately led several other girls over, looking at Zhou Jingwan aggressively: “Why, don’t you dare to drink? You are asking for help, can’t you have this attitude?” The

others Immediately booing: “Yes, it’s just a jug of wine, Miss Zhou, drink it quickly.”

One of them took the jug and poured it directly into Zhou Jingwan’s mouth.

Zhou Jingwan naturally didn’t want to drink, but there was only one Zhou Jingyun beside her who couldn’t stop her at all, so she could only keep backing away.

Several girls pushed and shoved each other, and they came to the fence without knowing it.

“Ah!”

“Jingwan!”

Someone pushed Zhou Jingwan, and Zhou Jingwan bumped into the fence and fell backwards.

This scene terrified everyone!

The moment Zhou Jingwan fell down the second floor, her mind went blank. Looking at the retreating people on the second floor, she closed her eyes in despair.

Just when everyone thought that Zhou Jingwan was about to die, suddenly, a figure flashed over and caught Zhou Jingwan before she fell to the ground.

“Sister Zhou!” The

expected pain did not hit, instead, she heard a long-lost familiar voice. Zhou Jingwan thought it was a hallucination, but she couldn’t help feeling extravagant.

If the third brother was here, no one would bully her.

Zhou Jingwan opened her eyes cautiously, and when Yan Wentao’s nervous and anxious face came into view, her eye sockets turned red instantly, and she cried out in surprise with grievance: “Third brother, you came to see me?!”
