Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

Chapter 265 Letter from Beijing

Not to mention that Madam Zhou hated her husband to the core. She had long felt that her husband was more promising than her legitimate son and that he overshadowed her legitimate son. She also often ordered her husband's concubine to serve him.

Now that my daughter has gone to the Zhou family, I can’t rely on my aunt to protect her.

Zhou Cheng was also extremely angry, but because he was worried that his aunt was still in the Zhou family, he didn't dare to refuse for the time being and could only delay it for a while.

At this time, another letter came from the capital. It turned out that Zhou Cheng's concubine found an opportunity and asked a loyal servant to sneak out of the house and find a caravan to send the letter to her son in Liuguan Town.

The meaning of the letter was that Mrs. Zhou had bad intentions. She had served her wholeheartedly, but she still wanted her granddaughter to go back and serve her.

He also found her a concubine who was old enough to be her grandfather, and persuaded Zhou's father so that he could marry this marquis and advance Zhou's father's official position.

Aunt Zhou Cheng told him not to send his granddaughter to him, and to reject the Zhou family directly and not to consider her. She knew that her children and grandchildren were living well, and she was already content, and did not want to let her granddaughter fall into the tiger's mouth.

Besides, the Zhou family didn't dare to torture him too much. After all, their son was already a sixth-rank border general, so they just had to let him rest assured.

After reading it, Zhou Cheng was already in tears, while Wei Shi breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, this aunt and mother-in-law still loves her son and granddaughter, and would rather suffer herself than save her granddaughter.

She was afraid that Zhou Cheng would give in for his mother's sake and let her daughter marry an old man, but Wei was absolutely unwilling to do so.

Since my aunt is willing to consider the overall situation, I can take care of her in the future.

But Zhou Cheng and Wei were also very anxious. Their daughter was so outstanding that she should be married back to the capital to enjoy the good life of a noble lady.

But she certainly cannot be sent back to the Zhou family and let them control her daughter's marriage.

But Zhou Cheng was only a sixth-rank official after all, and the war at the border was tense, so the possibility of him being transferred back to the capital was extremely low.

Zhou Yuwei herself was also a little anxious. Although she was not too old and could wait for two or three years before getting married, the marriage had to be decided in advance.

Although she grew up in Liuguan Town, she doesn't like this place very much.

The biting winter wind made it impossible to open one's eyes. She never dared to go out in the cold weather, for fear that no matter how good the ointment she applied, it would be useless and her face would still turn red and flaky.

That is to say, my parents loved me so much that they always went to great lengths to buy me facial cream from the capital at high prices for my skin care.

In addition, I was born with good foundation, which is why I have managed to maintain a delicate and graceful figure.

But just like my parents said, we should go back to the capital. This place is not suitable for people.

Dad had the opportunity to be transferred back in recent years, but for some reason he always missed the chance to be transferred back to the capital.

It’s not that there are no candidates among Zhou Cheng’s colleagues who are interested in the Zhou family, but their official positions are similar to his own.

There was a young man of suitable age in the mansion of General Liu, the commander-in-chief, but Zhou Cheng knew that the gap in rank between himself and General Liu was too great.

If my daughter is bullied by her mother-in-law after marriage, I can't go to the coach's house to ask for justice.

Moreover, Zhou Cheng's family was determined to return to Beijing, so they did not respond to their colleagues' intentions to get married. They just smiled and changed the subject, saying that his wife wanted to keep their daughter for a few more years before choosing a son-in-law.

As time went by, everyone in Liuguan Town knew that the eldest daughter of the Zhou family was too arrogant and looked down on the soldiers at the border.

As a result, fewer and fewer people were interested in proposing marriage, and everyone was laughing at the joke behind the scenes, wondering what kind of powerful person the Zhou family would end up marrying.

It just so happened that the commander-in-chief, General Liu, who appreciated him, accidentally or intentionally revealed a letter to him, saying that there might be an opportunity for promotion in the future.

If it goes well, he might even be promoted twice, which will make Zhou Cheng aware of the situation and act more cleverly recently.

Zhou Cheng was overjoyed. If he was promoted two levels higher, he would be promoted to the fifth rank. His father had been an official for most of his life, but he was only a fifth rank official.

If he were promoted to the fifth rank, only one level lower than his father, he would have more say in the family, and it would not be impossible for him to use force to take his concubine back.

General Liu also said that his wife was born in the Earl's Mansion in the capital, and could help to see if there were any wealthy and suitable-aged women in the capital.

With his face, maybe I can get a good marriage.

Zhou Cheng was naturally grateful and presented a lot of precious gold and silver he had obtained from suppressing the bandits, and both sides were happy.

Zhou Cheng and his wife had told Wei about the news, and she was overjoyed. She was no longer in a hurry about her daughter's marriage and waited quietly for news from General Liu's wife.

Since he couldn't go back for the time being, it would be good if his daughter could marry into a wealthy family. In the future, she could help his younger brother to return to Beijing and find a good wife, and the couple would be satisfied.

The couple did not hide the matter from Zhou Yuwei and told their daughter.

Zhou Yuwei was very excited after receiving the letter from her parents. She followed her parents' wishes and often went to General Liu's house with her mother. She embroidered things for Madam Liu and brought them back so that Madam Liu could see her virtuous and skillful hands.
