After Zhou Ying prepared to pay a thousand taels of silver to buy over her adoptive mother and her family, they walked straight to the Zhou family.
After the two reached the entrance, the guard hesitated momentarily before inviting them in and saying, “The two of you wait here for a moment. I will report to the old madam.”
“Alright, just say we have something to discuss with the old madam.” Zhou Ying nodded and sat in the gatehouse.
Seeing this, the servant did not dare to delay and immediately turned around to run inside.
When Madam Zhou received the news, she was surprised. She hadn’t expected Zhou Ying to visit them suddenly.
At the same time, she was also puzzled, unsure why Zhou Ying had come to visit her this time.
However, when she thought of their relationship with the Third Prince, she finally agreed to meet them.
When Zhou Ying and Gu Chengrui came in, Madam Zhou was already waiting in the room.
“Greetings, Madam Zhou.” The two of them stepped forward and bowed.
Madam Zhou’s heart skipped a beat. “Have a seat. You said that you have something to discuss. I wonder what it is?”
Zhou Ying saw that she had gone straight to the point, so she no longer stood on ceremony. She sat down and said, “We only have one purpose for coming here this time, which is to redeem my adoptive mother’s family. Please name a price.”
“Your adoptive mother? You mean our original chef, Mrs. Qiu, and her family?”
“Yes, them.”
The old madam hesitated momentarily and said, “Sure, but I have a condition.”
“What is it?”
“From now on, all our past grudges are cleared.
“A price of a hundred taels of silver per person is also needed.”
Zhou Ying deliberately looked at Gu Chengrui with a troubled expression, but she was very surprised internally. She didn’t expect the old lady to agree to their request so readily.
Gu Chengrui was surprised at the same time, but he still nodded without showing any emotion, “Sure. Please remember, Madam, that we will not cross paths anymore.”
“I disagree! If you want to take Qiu Niang and her family away, you must kowtow to me three times!” Zhou Jiaqing ran in with a veil over her face.
“Kowtowing three times is used to worship the dead.” Zhou Ying smiled.
“You…” Zhou Jiaqing was momentarily stunned and at a loss for words.
She wanted to retort something, but Madam Zhou interrupted, “Alright, this has nothing to do with you. Hurry up and go back to your room. Don’t forget that you still have a rash.”
At the same time, the old madam looked at Zhou Ying’s calm behavior and Zhou Jiaqing’s impulsive actions, regretting her past actions deeply.
She did not expect that a daughter of their family who was left alone would be more outstanding than the one they had carefully nurtured.
How could she accept this?
Regardless, their mistakes had already been made, so there was no need to pester them anymore. Otherwise, the Zhou family would lose all their dignity.
The key was that the Third Prince and the other Zhou family were backing them up. There was no need for both sides to make things too ugly.
“I…” Zhou Jiaqing hesitated for a moment, only then remembering her crafted personality. Ultimately, she could only glare at Zhou Ying fiercely, turn around, and leave unwillingly.
When Madam Zhou saw this, she turned to look at her maidservant.
Her personal maidservant understood immediately, left, and found Qiu Niang’s family’s contract. She stamped it with the old madam’s private seal and handed it to Zhou Ying. “There are nine people, men, women, old and young.”
Zhou Ying took it and examined it. Qiuniang’s father-in-law died, but Zhou Ying’s childhood playmate, Qiuniang’s daughter, Sister Haitang, was married and gave birth to a daughter.
She put it away and took out 900 taels of silver.
“Alright, you go ahead and have a nice day. We won’t disturb you any further.”
“I won’t send you off.” Madam Zhou nodded.
Zhou Ying nodded and walked out with Gu Chengrui..
