Zhou Yu stared at Lord Wang, but in his heart, he was thinking about leaving the capital as soon as possible. The more he stabilized the Xu family, the more uneasy they felt. “Cutting the grass without removing the roots” was a lingering disaster, and he was that stubborn root.

Lord Wang smiled and said, “That’s a pity.”

Yang Xi patted her son’s back from time to time. Were they going back to their ancestral home?

Lord Wang counted the property and his voice returned to contempt and coldness. “The house has been sealed. Everyone, leave quickly.”

Zhou Yu stood up shakily. The blood on his forehead had dried. His face was extremely pale and looked extremely embarrassed. His tone was full of pleading. “Please give me one more day, sir. I…”

He looked embarrassed before he finished speaking, saying that he only had mourning clothes on him, and his precious jade pendants had been taken away. His father’s coffin had to be properly placed, and they didn’t even have the money to find someone to move it.

Lord Wang was in a good mood this time, and he shouted coldly, “No, the Emperor’s order cannot be disobeyed.”

Yang Xi cried in agreement, “Please give me an hour, no, even half an hour will do.”

Ye Shi brought her youngest son and daughter and cried for mercy.

The more embarrassed the Zhou family was, the happier Lord Wang felt.

Who asked Zhou Huai to be nosy in the past? Lord Wang thought of this and looked at Miss Zhou. It was a pity that she didn’t become a military household.

Lord Wang didn’t want to be cold here. It was snowing heavily now. He thought the heavier the snow, the better.

Zhou Yu and Yang Xi felt that the performance was enough, and they walked towards the coffin. Zhou Yu pursed his lips and said, “I”
Yang Xi stretched out her hand to cover her husband’s mouth, “I’m fine, I can do it.”

She knew that the baby in her belly had always been very obedient and she would not hurt the baby.

Zhou Xiaodi and Zhou Xiaomei also ran over, and Zhou Xiaodi said, “Brother, we will help you lift it.”

Ye Shi choked up and said, “Mother is still strong. Xier, take good care of Ziheng.”

In Zhou Yu’s memory, unaware of the disaster of the family being confiscated, he had prepared the finest coffin for his father, which meant the coffin was particularly heavy.

In this lifetime, even with the thinnest coffin, the weight was still considerable. Now, without servants to help them, they could only rely on themselves.

Fortunately, his father did not forget his roots and would take him and his younger brother to do farm work during the busy farming season every year, so he and his younger brother still had some strength.

Yang Xi replied, “Mom, I’ll help too. I’m fine.”

Then she said to her son, “Hold on to the corner of my clothes and don’t let go.”

Ziheng also wanted to carry the coffin for his grandfather, but he was too young. The experiences of the past two days had made him grow up quickly, and he realized that all he could do now was to be obedient.

Under the watchful eyes of Lord Wang, the Zhou family lifted the coffin with all their might and walked out step by step. Lord Wang squinted his eyes. He was not blind. The coffin was very thin and he didn’t know who calculated it. If it was Zhou Huai, it would be fine. But if it was Zhou Yu, this kid would not be allowed to leave the capital.

The coffin was quite heavy, and it was difficult for the men and women of the Zhou family to move together. They had to rely on their strength to hold on. Fortunately, the Zhou Mansion was not big.

When walking out of Zhou Mansion, Yang Xi couldn’t help but look at the smashed plaque of Zhou Mansion.

Zhou Yu took a deep breath and said, “Let’s go.”

The location of the Zhou Mansion was not very good. The Zhou family had come to where they were today thanks to Zhou Huai’s planning. Of course, they had also made good connections. Unfortunately, no one helped when the disaster struck. Now everyone was in danger and had to take care of their own problems.

Yang Xi and Zhou Yu had experienced this before, so it was not surprising at all. Zhou Xiaodi couldn’t stand it, “What about the people who received the favor of my father?”

Zhou Xiaodi hated it. Why didn’t anyone help the Zhou family? Why didn’t anyone save his father?

Zhou Yu said coldly, “Save your energy.”

Ever since his father died, Zhou Xiaodi’s ideas had all collapsed.

Bullshit Heaven, Earth, Emperor, and Teacher, bullshit that the Emperor orders his subjects to die and the subjects have to die!

Suddenly, Ye Shi staggered, and the already unstable people also staggered. They had only taken a few steps away from the mansion gate.

Zhou Yu hurriedly signaled to put down the coffin and walked quickly to his mother, “Mom, what’s wrong with you?”
