The emperor came to the Imperial College and directly expelled the two students from the Banshan Hall. At the same time, he issued a bunch of surprising decrees in one breath. The news spread like a whirlwind in all the major government offices and wealthy mansions in the capital. Of course, Zhu Jing, the Duke of Zhao, who did not go to court that day, also learned about this.
However, Duke Zhao also received another piece of news, that is, his precious daughter Zhu Ying went directly to the Imperial College in anger!
"How did she sneak out? Who let her out?" Although Zhu Jing had always indulged Zhu Ying, and the marriage certificate with the Zhang family had already been signed, he still felt helpless about his daughter's obvious behavior of protecting her. At this time, he had to ask coldly, "Didn't I tell her to practice archery at home today and not go anywhere?"
However, the steward standing in front of him quickly raised his head, glanced at him with a very strange look, and then lowered his head: "Reporting to the master, the eldest lady informed the lady and the lady before leaving. She also brought Zhu Hong's dozen guards with her. She left in an upright manner, not... not sneaking around."
Very good... It turned out that it was my mother and my wife who released the person! Zhu Jing felt a dull pain in his forehead, and then he asked angrily, "What about Da Lang? Doesn't he keep an eye on his sister?"
The steward felt that the eldest son was really wronged, but he said honestly: "My lord, the eldest son went out to visit Master Ge early in the morning. He said it was for Mr. Liu's matter. I informed you in advance."
His son... did tell him that! Seeing that there was no one to vent his anger on, Zhu Jing took a deep breath and angrily cursed: "Erlang, this useless and worthless thing, really makes me angry to death!"
Poor Second Young Master… He was being pissed off again! But even though they were both being pissed off, the steward would feel sorry for the eldest son, but not for the Second Young Master at all. He immediately looked at his nose and looked at his heart, not daring to say a word. Because he was very suspicious that if he said something next, he would be the one being pissed off.
Sure enough, Zhu Jing obviously didn't find it interesting to scold someone who wasn't here at the moment. After a few words, he stopped and said with a stiff face: "Wait for Dalang or Yingying to come back, and bring them here immediately!"
However, just as he finished speaking, a report came from outside: "Master, the eldest lady and Mr. Shou are here. They were planning to come to see you, but it just so happens that the eldest son has also returned. Now they are talking in the front yard."
Zhu Jing was stunned when his son and daughter, whom he wanted to see, suddenly came back together, and brought along Zhang Shou, whom he didn't want to see at the moment. However, when he heard people talking in the front yard, he was afraid that his mother or wife would get there first, so he quickly ordered, "Hurry up and call them over!"
The servant outside responded and left. The steward who had reported earlier also took advantage of the opportunity and hurriedly left, leaving Zhu Jing alone in the study. Zhu Jing knew that something was not right today, so he deliberately did not go to the court meeting, wanting to observe the situation, but he did not expect that the situation would be far beyond his expectations. At this time, he waited and waited, but Zhu Ying and the others did not come, and finally he could not bear it anymore.
