"Master, Miss Zhu is here!"
When hearing the news, Duke of Chu Zhang Rui, who had been staying indoors for the past few days, pretending to cultivate his character but actually trying to avoid the limelight, felt overwhelmed and blamed the emperor in his heart. If the emperor had not instructed her to impeach all the lecturers in the East Palace, would he have offended people as soon as he returned to the capital
If it weren't for the fact that the late Emperor Ruizong had shown him kindness and trust in him, and if it weren't for the fact that the Emperor had relied heavily on him at the beginning of his reign, and had trusted him to the end despite all objections during this northern expedition, he would not have done anything that would be considered as taking advantage of his seniority!
Therefore, after taking a deep breath, the Duke of Chu, who was as famous as Duke Zhu Jing of Zhao among the nobles, but actually much older, and could actually be Zhu Ying's grandfather, immediately ordered the confidant who came to report the news like a swift foot, "Tell them to delay as much as they can, I will go out the back door!"
A dignified duke actually wanted to sneak out through the back door, but the trusted steward laughed secretly and even nodded to urge him. If it was another family's daughter, the master would certainly not be afraid, but the young lady outside had pulled the emperor's beard when she was a child, crawled all over the empress dowager, and when she grew up, she was more favored than the princess in the palace, but the most important thing was... the master was in the wrong!
Mr. Zhang didn't do anything to offend our family, but the master insisted on writing a letter to scold him. It's not enough for the eldest lady to come to our house to argue once, so it's normal for her to come again!
After instructing the servants to delay time, Duke of Chu Zhang Rui was not vague at all, and he was still strong despite his old age. He was still very skilled, and he didn't even bring a single follower with him. He went straight to the back door after leaving the study - in fact, it was not the back door that the servants went in and out, but a side door in the house that was usually locked from the inside and no one went through.
However, when he opened the big iron lock and just reached out to open the door, he suddenly noticed something and hesitated. But in the end, he still opened the two doors with a stern face, and then he saw a familiar little fat man standing a few steps away from the door with a smile on his face.
Although he was not very familiar with the junior Lu Sanlang, among the young officials and nobles in the capital, there was only one person who was as plump and well-proportioned as the little fat boy, and who was not afraid to deal with people. Therefore, Zhang Rui could not help but shout angrily: "Little Fatty Lu, you are already a married man, but you still listen to Yingying like before?"
"Who told me that she is my junior master's wife?" Fatty Lu did not feel embarrassed at all and asked back with a smile. Seeing Zhang Rui's face suddenly turned long, he coughed and said, "Of course, you are so powerful, Duke Chu, and I know I can't stop you, so my junior master's wife gave me a helper."
After hearing the last sentence, Zhang Rui looked up not far away as if he had realized something, and saw a young man who had hardly revealed any aura quietly coming out from the shadow under the wall. At first glance, he looked inconspicuous and could be found in a crowd. However, as he walked towards them leisurely, he looked like a sword being unsheathed, gradually revealing his sharpness.
