Chapter 61
The entire Zhou residence was surrounded by layers of dead air, even the temperature inside the residence was obviously lower than the temperature outside, making it eerie.
Every servant in the house was wearing plain clothes, mainly in gray and black, and their expressions were all pale. It was not known whether they had received any instructions from above. The minimum distance between people was more than one hundred meters.
There was no verbal communication between them, and they wouldn’t even look at each other. Whenever they meet someone head-on, regardless of whether they recognize them or not, they will deliberately lower their heads and pretend not to know them.
Everyone stayed in the room with great restraint and did not walk around at will.
Even the red lanterns that originally were hung all over the house were covered with white cloth belts, and the air of death enveloped the entire century-old compound.
After nightfall, the house felt as cold as a dead man’s tomb, as if it had been cursed.
“Master…”
“Come, take the medicine.”
Aunt Chen wore a slightly low-key dark green dress. She carried a bowl of dark soup in her hand and slowly placed it on the cabinet next to Mr. Zhou’s bedside.
When Mr. Zhou heard about Mrs. Zhou’s affairs, he was so angry that he foamed at the mouth, twitched all over, and almost fainted due to the seizure.
With half of his consciousness still remaining, he trembled and could only stutter out the last command before falling.
Cremate everyone who saw or knew about this scandal!
Never reveal even a wind of the secret!
It was related to Zhou Zhai’s reputation.
Mrs. Zhou was also imprisoned in the woodshed by everyone and ignored her.
Mr. Zhou stared with open eyes as he laid on the bed with a slightly ferocious expression. His eyes were obviously open, but he seemed to have died. He laid motionless on the bed. The quilt covered up to his neck, and the corners of his mouth were still trembling.
After Aunt Chen came in, his pupils shrank visibly, as if he was very excited.
It was obvious that he was trying hard to look towards the door, but the result was that no matter how hard he tried, his head just twitched more violently.

Aunt Chen sat down on the edge of the bed and stared at Mr. Zhou’s face, expressionless from beginning to end. Suddenly, it was uncertain what she thought of, she smiled, taking out a piece of silk from her waist and holding it in the palm of her hand. “Master, look at you, there is sweat on your forehead, here let me wipe it for you.”

He told her to get out.
Aunt Chen paused. Although Mr. Zhou showed great resistance, her hand still touched his face firmly.
Her movements were very light, and she wiped the sweat from Mr. Zhou’s face with gentle pressure.
Mr. Zhou looked like he was winking, the arc of his mouth became wider, and the wrinkles on his face looked as old as tree bark.
Aunt Chen looked at him and sighed, “Old Master, are you really stupid, or are you just slow?”
Mr. Zhou stared at her fiercely.
Aunt Chen retracted her hand and sneered. The next second, the look she gave Mr. Zhou no longer seemed calm, but instead showed unthinking gloom and disgust, like a wolf in sheep’s clothing having taken off its disguise.
Aunt Chen leaned down, her mouth close to Mr. Zhou’s ear, with a bit of mockery and appearance of watching a show saying, “Master, do you really think Zhou Shengwu and Zhou Meier are your children?”
As soon as Aunt Chen finished speaking, Mr. Zhou’s pupils trembled violently, as if he had been greatly stimulated. At this time, his hand covered by the quilt could not stop twitching.
His eyes were so wide that they were about to fall out from their sockets, and the sounds coming out of his mouth were even more unintelligible, just louder squealing and screaming.
Aunt Chen looked at her like this and softly went “tsk”, but still felt that it was not pleasant enough, and continued, “Old Master, when you were young, you passed through thousands of flowers, but you still had no heirs, have you never thought it was your body’s fault?”
At this point, Aunt Chen threw her head back and laughed, the laughter was so shrill that even tears came from the corners of her eyes.
She glanced over again, continuing to glare at Mr. Zhou, and continued fiercely, “Want to know whose children Zhou Shengwu and Zhou Meier are?”
Master Zhou’s hand twitched even more violently. This time, perhaps because he was in a very intense mood, his hand actually stretched out from under the quilt.
Aunt Chen smiled, “It’s the old housekeeper who has been with you for so many years and dedicated his whole life to this Zhou residence.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Zhou’s body began to cough violently and uncontrollably, his face turned red, and foam came out of his mouth, as if he was going crazy.
Aunt Chen still felt that she was not relieved enough, “What? You really don’t know? Tsk tsk, you have raised other people’s children for so many years and then sent them to study abroad. How ridiculous.”
Master Zhou’s eyes changed, and the look he looked at Aunt Chen turned pleading. He opened his mouth again and said something. Aunt Chen listened for a long time before she heard it. Master Zhou said “Zhou Caihua”. These three words.
After hearing these three words, Aunt Chen’s eyes changed completely. Her fingers clenched tightly, making a crunching sound, and her neck twisted, making a clicking sound of bones breaking.
“Shut up! You have no right to call my son by his name!” After saying that, Aunt Chen showed a cold smile and said in relief, “Yes, you guessed it right, he is not your son either.”
Sure enough, after listening to this, more and more foam came out of Mr. Zhou’s mouth, and his body began to twitch even more violently.
Aunt Chen snorted and sneered, “You wouldn’t have thought that the only child you had in your life was the child you killed with your own hands in order to please Yang Peifang. Tsk, tsk, tsk, it is said that it was a boy.”
Master Zhou cried out for a long time and moved his body even more violently.
Aunt Chen picked up the medicine on the bedside table, stirred it in the bowl with a spoon, and said with a sharp look, “Master, it’s time to take the medicine.”
Ah.
“What happened in your house today? Why is it so lifeless? I saw black smoke rising from the sky this afternoon. Was there a fire?” Qi Bozhi casually leaned on the chair with a very lazy posture.
Zhou Shengwu made a noncommittal sound and said nonchalantly, “Who knows, why do you care so much? Let’s go. It’s getting late. I guess no one will come out at this point. Let’s go into the abandoned courtyard and have a look.”
As Zhou Shengwu spoke, the strange light in his eyes became even more intense, with an excitement and heat that could not be concealed.
Qi Bozhi stood up immediately, looking a little unable to hold himself back and eager to try, “Let’s go! Let’s go now!”
Su Jingyan’s hair was still wet, and he was only wearing one layer of clothing, which was very thin. He didn’t even wear shoes. He just sat on the ground, stretching out his feet onto the pool of clear water under the corridor.
He had just finished taking a shower, and the thing inside his body that had tortured him all day was finally taken out by the man.
Lu Yichen stood quietly beside him, looking at his child intently.
There were a lot of goldfish in the pond. These fish would usually only poke their heads out when someone fed them fish food, but this time they popped up one after another without any warning when Su Jingyan sat on the ground and started to tread the water.
The fish in the entire pond were as if they had been electrocuted, fidgeting violently. They were making an extremely noisy noise, making waves of “pop” sounds, and the entire lake seemed very unstable.
Suddenly, the man’s expression changed. He slowly moved his eyes away from the child and looked at the door. He squinted his eyes and moved his fingers slightly.
Ah.
It’s been really noisy these days.
Tsk.
“You actually got the key?” Qi Bozhi looked at Zhou Shengwu in disbelief.
Zhou Shengwu shook the key with a proud look on his face and said, “Tch, who am I? This is my home, isn’t it just the key? Isn’t it easy for me to get in wherever I want?”
Qi Bozhi’s heart became more itchy and he said impatiently, “Hurry, open it quickly.”
When Zhou Shengwu heard this, he paused on the spot, motionless, looking at Qi Bozhi with a half-smile, obviously not intending to open the door.
Seeing his appearance, Qi Bozhi was surprised, frowned, and asked, “Why don’t you open the door?”
Zhou Shengwu laughed twice and hinted, “There is only one beauty, but there are two of us. You say this…” At this point, Zhou Shengwu deliberately prolonged his last words.
Qi Bozhi immediately understood what the other party meant, clenched his teeth, and the expression on his face was almost unbearable.
When he and Zhou Shengwu were playing abroad, they also played the trick of exchanging lovers. This was not the first time. Their private lives were already chaotic.
Qi Bozhi felt a little restless when he thought of the figure in the painting.
This was the first time that he had the idea of possessing a beauty. Normally, he would just throw it away after use. Only this time, he was a little reluctant to part with it, but the current situation did not allow him to refuse.
So no matter how fucked up he was at this moment, he still forced a smile on his face and said, “Of course you go first, I’ll do whatever.”
After Zhou Shengwu got this guarantee, he leisurely took out the key.
Lu Yichen withdrew his gaze, looked at Su Jingyan who was having a good time, and called softly, “Yanyan.”
Su Jingyan turned around and his little doe eyes blinked innocently, “What’s wrong?”
The man curled his lips gently, then leaned down, “Come, I’ll hold you.”
Su Jingyan did not doubt him, and stretched out his arms, making a gesture of asking for a hug.
Lu Yichen chuckled and picked him up easily.
The fish in the pond began to stir even more violently the moment Su Jingyan left. But within three seconds they stopped suddenly, and, as if nothing had happened, the lake returned to stillness.
Lu Yichen carried Su Jingyan into the room, with Su Jingyan’s arms hooked around his neck.
“Sleep now?” Su Jingyan muttered.
The man couldn’t help laughing when he heard this.
Lu Yichen understood that the child didn’t mean anything inappropriate, so he touched his head and explained, “I’ll put some clothes on for you.”
Su Jingyan’s eyes widened in surprise, “Are we going out?”
Lu Yichen’s eyes flashed, “Well, I’ll take you out to see.”
Ah.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
Even the air was vaguely filled with the unpleasant smell of blood…
