In a blink of an eye, Zhulan received another letter from her eldest grandson. The old lady, who was originally happily arranging flowers with her granddaughters, suddenly frowned and slammed the letter on the table.
Yu Shuang, the eldest granddaughter, was the first to ask, "Grandma, what did my eldest brother write in the letter?"
As Zhulan grew older and had always been at the top of the family's food chain, her temper inevitably became more intense. Now she was so angry that she said, "The Zhao family is shameless."
How shameless! Not only did his plan fail, but he also gave the girl away as an apology, not only to his eldest grandson, but also to his great-grandson.
The little old lady was furious. They bullied two children when the adults were not around!
Yu Shuang had already reached out to take the letter. After reading it, the good-tempered Yu Shuang blushed with anger, "Shame on you."
Yu Lu came over to watch, "This is too much."
Zhulan gritted her teeth, snorted, then took the letter and stood up, "I'm going to the Ministry of Revenue to find your grandfather in person."
Yu Shuang and Yu Lu looked at each other. Grandma was really angry.
When Zhulan thought about her own son being blatantly scammed, she became extremely angry. The old man had a good relationship with Zhao Bo, which was why her family trusted the Zhao family. So she had to find the old man, and she couldn't wait any longer.
At the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren looked at the Emperor and the Crown Prince with a headache, "If I remember correctly, the Crown Prince's teacher is Grand Secretary Wu?"
The emperor nodded, "That's right."
Zhou Shuren pointed to the homework on the table and asked, "What is this?"
The Emperor smiled and said, "This child has many ideas. Academician Wu is a good student, but he cannot cope with the active thinking of the Crown Prince. That is why the Crown Prince asks you about things he does not understand."
Zhou Shuren, "..."
He was also wondering if the masters chosen by the Emperor and the Emperor emeritus were too honest. Haha, now seeing the little prince's bright eyes, he understood. It was really difficult for the Emperor to choose an honest one among so many foxes in public.
The Emperor said quietly, "When you move, I will go out for a walk. For now, I can still take care of the Crown Prince. When I go out, I will not be at ease with whoever I leave the Crown Prince to. I will have to bother you more by then."
If the prince was not so young and it was the time for him to lay the foundation, he would want to take the prince out for a walk.
The retired emperor is looking after his grandson, but he cannot take him away now. He also has to teach his eldest grandson, so he will not be away for more than half a year each year.
Zhou Shuren had a heart attack. He was tricked. "My bones are almost gone."
The little prince smiled innocently, "I am young, and when I grow up, Lord Zhou's eldest grandson will also enter the court."
Zhou Shuren, "!!"
What the little prince meant was that even though he had no life left, he still had a backup plan.
At this time, Jinyan came in respectfully, feeling a little anxious. This was the first time that the mistress came to the Ministry of Revenue to find the master, so something big must have happened at home. After Jinyan reported.
Zhou Shuren ran out at a trot, and the prince was stunned. "Just now, Lord Zhou said that he was old and his bones were going to be schemed away."
The emperor twitched his lips, "He is used to pretending to be pitiful."
At the door of the household department, after Zhou Shuren read the letter, Lord Zhou also became angry. This was a forced sale and it was bullying the child.
Zhou Shuren stroked his beard. His grandson had seen a lot of things. This kind of shameless fraud was disgusting, but he could handle it. "I will write a letter to Zhao Bo."
What a family fears the most is that when a family falls into decline, they desperately want to seize the opportunity to turn things around. Zhao Bo is the pillar of the Zhao family. Without Zhao Bo, the Zhao family will only decline rapidly.
Zhou Shuren thought a lot. The Zhou family should not be bullied. If he took the matter of the Zhao family lightly this time, just wait, there would be more disgusting things in the future. There would always be negligence in guarding against thieves. Compared with defense, he prefers to be proactive.
When Zhulan heard that the retired emperor and the crown prince were in the Ministry of Revenue, she sighed twice. This was a matter of luck. Who would have thought that she had finally come to the Ministry of Revenue and it would be so accurate!
Zhou Shuren went back and did not hide the truth, no matter how hard he tried to hide it. The retired emperor looked up at Zhou Shuren. This old guy was narrow-minded and particularly protective of his own people. The retired emperor would not interfere, but he remembered the Zhao family of Pingzhou in his heart.
Zhou Shuren didn't complain on purpose, stating the facts was enough. People of royal bloodline have particularly good memories, while those with poor senses can remember for a long time.
Zhou Shuren thought of Zhao Bo. He cherished this first friend very much. Even though his rank was promoted quickly, he never forgot his friend.
However, this friendship deteriorated when the Zhao family plotted against their grandson and granddaughter-in-law.
In Pingzhou City, Jiang Du saw his cousin sorting out the furs he bought today and asked, "Are we not leaving yet?"
Mingyun didn't even raise his head, "Why are you leaving?"
Jiang Du said, "It's possible that the news about Pingzhou has spread to my hometown, and the Zhao family is too difficult to deal with."
The last apology was really disgusting. He brought the girls here. Have you ever thought about the future of the two girls? If they refuse, how can the two girls get married
This was a plan, a forced conspiracy against them, but it was a miscalculation. The Zhao family underestimated them.
Mingyun has already divided the skins. "Oh, if we leave, people will think we are young and scared. If we don't leave, why should we leave? I want to wait for the Zhao family to come to our house and apologize in a serious manner before I leave."
Originally he was in a hurry to return to the capital, but now he is no longer in a hurry. He has masters with great martial arts skills around him, as well as the royal guards given to him by his grandfather. There is nothing to be afraid of.
He had to stay in Pingzhou. He wanted everyone who was waiting for the result to see that the Zhou family could not be bullied.
Mingyun sneered in his heart. The Zhao family dared to plot against him one after another. If the Zhou family did not show any attitude, they would have to wait and see. When his younger brothers come back to take the exam in the future, it would not just be the Zhao family that dared to plot against them.
Jiang Du looked at his cousin. His cousin's demeanor just now was very similar to his grandfather's. At this moment, he deeply realized the gap between him and his cousin. His cousin had been exposed to these things since he was a child, while he was focused on studying. He could never catch up with his cousin in terms of ideas and methods of dealing with things.
Jiang Du felt that he had learned a lot from being with his cousin. "Listen to my cousin."
Mingyun asked the servant to take all the things away. "As a family has been around for a long time, some things have already decayed. This is also a lesson."
In the future of the Zhou family, he would never allow anyone to ruin the Zhou family's reputation.
In the capital, Zhou Shuren has always been a man of action. On the one hand, he sent Jinyan and Shenxing to Pingzhou City in person, and on the other hand, he wrote a letter to Zhao Bo, telling him everything that had happened. He also pointed out that there were royal assassins in the mansion, and the royal family knew everything that happened at home.
Zhou Shuren meant that the family was very angry and the commotion was quite loud, so the royal family must have known about it.
Zhou Shuren would never say that the emperor and the crown prince were both there at the time, so the effect would be the same and he would naturally have to be picked out.
At the very end, Zhou Shuren mentioned several times with great emotion how he helped Zhao Bo. Zhou Shuren helped Zhao Bo a lot to have his current development, and it was all because of Zhou Shuren that Zhao Bo was able to jump out of the dead end of the salt case.
There was no accusatory word in the entire letter, but every word was like a knife, stabbing Zhao Bo's heart.
