The King of Qi smiled, stood up and took the tea box he had just given out, "Since you don't know anything about tea, I will take it back."
Zhou Shuren was a step slower. He didn't know how to drink tea, but he knew that this thing was worth money. He could use it to entertain people. "Your Highness must have a lot of good things. You can give me this."
The King of Qi held the box in his arms and said, "No, this is really what I need. I have to live frugally."
Zhou Shuren, “… .”
There is a big gap between the former wealthy King Qi and the current King Qi!
The King of Qi hugged the box tightly and turned to leave. He had become obedient. He could not keep some of the previous unknown income, and some of the industries also needed to be dealt with. His father was the emperor, and he was the biological son. The crown prince was the emperor, and he could not be allowed to collect money. This was different, this was different. He had to cut it off now to avoid trouble in the future.
The King of Qi thought of his grandfather again. His grandfather really cared about him and had thought of a way out for him. Comparing him with the grandfathers of the King of Chu and the King of Liang, the importance of a good grandfather was demonstrated.
Zhou Shuren stared blankly at the King of Qi leaving. The King of Qi had absolutely no plan for coming here today. Did he come just to say that he was lucky
During the holiday in Xuzhou, I took my wife and daughter to the beach. Now that the temperature has risen, the beach is still very comfortable.
Chang Lian watched the two girls playing. The younger girl was held by the maid and touched the sand. "Look at the port over there. It's almost finished."
Dong Chuchu, "You will be even busier in the future."
Chang Lian took the fan handed over by the servant and used it to block the sun for his wife. "Well, have you sent anyone to see the manor that the emperor gave me as a reward?"
Dong Chuchu smiled even more brightly. Her husband had received a reward, a large manor in the south? "Has he sent someone over? He should be back in a few days. With an extra manor? It will bring a lot of income to the family. Oh, right? For Dad's birthday this year, should we exchange gifts?"
Chang Lian also had this plan, "I would have mentioned it even if you hadn't mentioned it. You know how I got my achievements, it's all because of Dad. But it's not easy to choose this gift, we have to think about it carefully."
Dong Chuchu nodded and kept it in mind. When she heard the child crying, she ran over quickly and the girl was panicked.
When the couple ran over, they were shocked to find that the little girl's palm was pinched by the small crab in her hand. Fortunately, the crab was very small and did not cause much damage.
Dong Chuchu held the little girl in her arms, "Okay, don't cry? Don't cry."
Yuyi was scared and pulled her father's hand, "Sister, grab the sand. We didn't see any little crabs in the sand."
Chang Lian picked up Yuyi and said, "Daddy knows, you have to be more careful in the future."
Yuyi nodded, stretched her neck over, and blew on her sister's hand, "Don't cry, sister, it won't hurt if you blow on it."
Chang Lian was about to say something when the servant came running over and said, "Master Zhao and his family are here."
When Chang Lian saw Zhao Ji coming with his wife and children, he rolled his eyes in his heart. In the past, Lü Liang was annoying, and even when he was cold, Lü Liang didn't dare to come near him. But Zhao Ji was not like that. If you speak in a subtle way, people will pretend not to understand you. But if you speak directly, they will pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Anyway, he just wants to rely on you, especially after he gets the reward!
In the evening in the capital, Zhou Shuren came back and told Zhulan about the King of Qi. Zhulan couldn't figure it out, "What does the King of Qi mean?"
Zhou Shuren, "I don't know."
Zhu Lan was speechless, "Isn't he investigating the Zhang family? Shouldn't he be very busy?"
“It should be difficult to check.”
Zhu Lan didn't want to analyze the King of Qi, so she talked about the situation in the Duke's Mansion today. "Today, everything inside and outside was handled by Ning Zhiqi and his wife. I think the old Duke's intention should have been conveyed directly to Ning Zhiqi."
Zhou Shuren sighed, "One bad move ruined the old Duke's plan. Now the old Duke must be very upset."
Zhu Lan thought for a moment, "Rong Chuan once asked Xue Han what Ning Hou Mansion was like. Rong Chuan wanted to stay in Ning Hou Mansion. If he really stayed, he could also protect some of the Duke's Mansions."
Zhou Shuren, "If he really stays, the Duke's Mansion may not be the Duke's Mansion anymore."
Zhulan agreed as she thought. Rongchuan is a prince after all. Even if he is not a member of the royal family, the emperor will compensate Rongchuan. There will be changes in Ninghou Mansion. They are all from the Ning family, so there will be more variables in the Duke's Mansion.
Zhulan talked about her own family's affairs, "I checked the servants in my house these few days, but I didn't find any suspicious ones."
Zhou Shuren raised an eyebrow, "Really?"
Zhu Lan nodded, "I checked several times and found nothing. Apart from the one who was guessed to be the emperor's man, the other servants are all normal."
Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and said, "It would be strange if there was no problem."
Zhulan thought so too. Her family had attracted enough hatred. She had no servants, but she didn't even have anyone who was bribed. This was a bit too much. "So I want to check it every once in a while. People who leave the house will be strictly recorded. If I wasn't afraid that the servants would be uneasy, I would also like to supervise each other!"
Zhou Shuren, "From now on, no one is allowed to leave the house, and the number of times the servants go out must be limited. Try to control it as much as possible."
"Um."
Seven days later, Mrs. Du was buried, and Xue Han returned to Zhou Mansion from the Duke's Mansion. Zhu Lan was helpless, "If you don't go back to the Marquis' Mansion, how can you go back to your mother's home?"
Xue Han spread out her hands, "My father-in-law won't let me. He's cleaning up the Marquis' Mansion. These days, he's living in the Duke's Mansion. I can only go back to my mother's home."
Zhulan asked, "Is the old lady feeling better?"
Xue Han sighed, "She's feeling a little better now, and her body is still fine. She was never strong to begin with, and this time it's completely ruined. The poison is so strong, grandma is really lucky this time."
"Where is the old Duke? Is he feeling better?"
"Okay, Grandpa will take care of Grandma when he's well. I'm no longer needed, so I'm leaving the house."
Zhulan saw that her daughter had lost a lot of weight, "You've worked hard these days."
Xue Han, "Mom, I'm not tired. I just chat with grandma. Grandma sleeps most of the time. She's just a little bored. Mom, no one is allowed to enter the main courtyard, not even Ning Ting and the younger generations. Grandpa is not willing to see Second Uncle even though he is well."
Zhulan thought to herself that the old man was really angry this time, "Is the Song family in charge now?"
Xue Han nodded, "Yes, my eldest brother is taking over the family affairs, and my eldest sister-in-law is completely in charge of the Duke's Mansion. Yes, Yu Shi rarely even leaves the yard now."
Inside the palace, the King of Qi came out of the Zheng Palace, and when he saw Rong Chuan, he quickly walked over to him and said, "I've sent some fruits up from below, I'll bring some back to you later."
Rong Chuan was panicked, especially panicked. These days, the King of Qi treated him like his own brother, as if they were born from the same mother. He thought of him with good things and cared about him. "No, you don't need to."
The King of Qi secretly thought that he had always been bullied by the Crown Prince in the past, and now he especially liked to see Rong Chuan's confused look. Of course, he also wanted to make friends with him. Rong Chuan was the Crown Prince's biological brother. "It's okay. We are just friends. Don't be polite to me."
The King of Chu and the King of Liang were both dumbfounded. They stared in amazement at the King of Qi's counterattack. The King of Qi no longer even called himself the King.
Zhang Yang looked up at the sky. The weather was very good today. Was this really the King of Qi
