When Zhou Shuren arrived, he did not go into the backyard, but drank tea with Lord Ning in the hall.
Ning Xu looked at Zhou Shuren, who had an expressionless face. This man was protective of his people. He sipped his tea and thought, is it true that this old fox Zhou Shuren didn't notice Rong Chuan
If it were in the past, he would not have thought so, but as he came into contact with him, he had to think more about it. Zhou Shuren lived too clearly, so clearly that he had the illusion that Zhou Shuren might have discovered something.
Zhou Shuren finished the tea in his cup and put it down, "My Lord, it's better to be prepared."
Ning Xu's heart tightened, "What do you want to say?"
Zhou Shuren didn't intend to play dumb, "It's not what I want to say, but what Rongchuan wants to do."
After thinking it over, he realized that he was trapped, and the only one who could act freely was Rongchuan. Rongchuan was the most powerful weapon. The previous Rongchuan was kept secret because Rongchuan took the overall situation into consideration. Even if Rongchuan was plotted against, Rongchuan did not care. But today was different. His daughter was the apple of his eye, and this boy would not let it go like this.
Ning Xu looked at Zhou Shuren. His eyes had become much smaller due to his weight gain. When he squinted, there seemed to be only a slit left. "You really understand Rongchuan."
Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "I raised a child, and I know that Rongchuan seems to be easy to get along with, but in fact, not many people can get into his heart. To be honest, I have never seen this child get angry, but I saw it this time, so I remind the Marquis to pay more attention to Rongchuan."
Ning Xu frowned. Zhou Shuren was right. Rong Chuan was really angry this time. However, Ning Xu looked at Zhou Shuren. Did he really not notice anything? Why did he feel that Zhou Shuren seemed to know that Rong Chuan would not be punished if he fought back
Zhou Shuren continued to pour himself a cup of tea. He reminded Ning Xu that Ning Xu would cooperate better with Rongchuan. Even though Ning Xu was a tiger that had escaped from its den, he was still a beast. Ning Xu would finish the work for Rongchuan, and he would just play a supporting role so that Rongchuan would have no worries.
The next day, Zhulan did not go to the Marquis' Mansion. She stayed at home writing a post.
Li looked through the post and asked, "Mom, are we going to hold a tea party?"
Zhulan rubbed her wrist. She had started writing after breakfast in the morning and had already written quite a bit. "Yeah."
Li looked at the stack of written invitations and felt a little confused. "Mom, aren't there too many people invited?"
Zhulan looked at the post she had written and said, "This is only half of it, there is still half to go."
Li's eyes widened. Her family really wanted to hold a banquet, but last year, apart from her parents' birthdays, they had only held two banquets, one for flower viewing and one for painting appreciation. However, not many people were invited, and they were basically only those with whom she had good relations.
She had never seen many of the posts this time. "Mom, why did you invite so many people this time?"
This is not my mother's character.
Zhao placed the blank post in front of her mother-in-law and said, "Mom, is it because of my little sister?"
Zhulan didn't explain and continued writing the post.
Zhao has been living with her mother-in-law for so many years, and her mother-in-law agreed without any explanation. As expected, her younger sister had a miscarriage and her parents were angry. She still remembered how terrible her husband said about her father-in-law last night.
Zhao was a little panicked. Her mother-in-law was making a big fuss. She didn't know what would happen or what her mother-in-law was going to do.
Mrs. Li reacted and realized that her younger sister was having a miscarriage. Her mother also said in the morning that her younger sister was fine. Now it seemed that things were not going well. She swallowed her saliva and let go of the post written by her mother-in-law.
In the palace, Rongchuan entered. His father had shown him what he had found out this morning. The information pointed to Prince Liang. In fact, it was not the case. It was just a frame-up. The real person was not found, but he was pointed in the direction. Zhang Yang was very strange. Prince Qi and Prince Liang were fooled one after another. Prince Liang even beat Zhang Yang up on the spot.
Rongchuan could clearly remember that the prince implicitly reminded him to stay as far away from Zhang Yang as possible.
Rongchuan sat in front of the emperor, not saying a word, just staring at him.
The emperor couldn't stand it anymore, "Do you have something to say to me?"
Rongchuan felt wronged. He remembered his father and grandfather saying that crying children are pitiful. "I just had a nightmare last night and was a little panicked for a while."
Who is the emperor? Then he asked, "What nightmare?"
Of course you have to pamper your own son.
Rong Chuan looked frightened. "I dreamed that a little girl called me daddy, but the child was covered in blood, and I woke up in shock. Your Majesty, you know how much I love my wife."
The emperor had a toothache, but he endured it. Of course, he knew that his youngest son was a live-in son-in-law. "Yeah."
"So I am afraid. My wife is my life."
The emperor understood that this boy was preparing him psychologically, meaning to tell him that whoever touches his vitals would be touching his life. He took out a few pieces of paper from under the table, handed them to Rongchuan, and then continued to look at the memorial.
Rongchuan opened the paper in confusion, his pupils constricted, and he quickly raised his head to look at the emperor. This was the news reported to the emperor, and now it was given to him. It was much more detailed than what his father gave him. Rongchuan kept thinking in his mind why the emperor treated him like this.
Rong Chuan said without thinking, "My nephew looks like me."
Before he said the last word, Rongchuan had come back to his senses. The nephew resembles his uncle. These words have always been in his mind. The paper the emperor gave him said that it was the fifth prince's person. His father had marked it out for him today.
He came here today just to show weakness and did not want to ask for anything, but the emperor simply gave him the news, and his mind was in chaos.
The emperor raised his head. He naturally noticed the doubts his youngest son had after getting married. The child was not just suspicious. He had refused to recognize it before because the situation was chaotic. Now it was becoming clearer and clearer. As for the other force, he basically knew who it was.
He thought about it and let it go, but what happened yesterday accelerated the process.
The prince was standing not far away. He raised the corner of his mouth and then lowered his head.
Rongchuan walked out of the Zheng Palace in a daze and slapped his face. Bah, he must have thought too much. Then he thought that he felt Zhang Yang was weird, not to mention the emperor. Then he thought that the emperor must have discovered something about Zhang Yang. His pupils constricted. Yes, this must be the case. The emperor did not hide the news from him.
Thinking of this, Rongchuan instantly felt a lot more relaxed, and he had nothing to worry about.
Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren went to Ninghou Mansion, these were all news. Zhou Shuren seldom had contact with the Ning family. This time he went to Ninghou Mansion as soon as he left the yamen, which attracted attention.
Qiu Yan asked a lot, and Zhou Shuren didn't mind. He just said that his daughter was having a miscarriage, so he went to take a look.
When Qiu Yan returned home last night, he heard from his wife that something happened in the Prince's Mansion. Thinking of the invitation to the Prince's Mansion, not everyone can go. It is difficult to get an invitation from the Crown Princess. It is not surprising that Zhou Shuren's daughter was invited. His caution tells him that things are not simple.
In the following days, it was not only Zhang Yang who was worried, but also Yao Wenqi. Yao Wenqi had been summoned to the palace and reprimanded for three consecutive days, and had to kneel in the cold spring wind for more than an hour.
The Zhou family's tea party also began, and many carriages were parked in front of the Zhou family's door.
