Zhulan stared at the source of the lawsuit in front of her. Her child was smart, but he would not lie to his family. Minghui did not lie, so Mingjing really could, no, she must have really seen the answer.
Mingjing's chubby hands moved back and forth restlessly, shaking his head innocently, "Grandma, why are you looking at your grandson like that?"
Zhulan waved her hand, "Mingjing, come here."
Ming Jing hesitated, but still moved her steps honestly. Although she was very reluctant, the little guy said dryly: "I, I didn't lie."
He remembered his grandmother telling him that good children should not lie.
Zhulan held the fat boy's fat hand and said to her son, "Please tell me the question again. I want to hear how Mingjing answers it."
Changzhong also came back to his senses and squinted his eyes. He and Minghui spent the most time together, and they were both foxes who knew each other best. Influenced by preconceived notions, he thought Minghui was trying to trick him, but now it seems that was not the case.
Changzhong asked a question, a middle-level one, and then stared at Mingjing without blinking.
Mingjing was still young, so she answered honestly.
Changzhong gritted his teeth and said, "Our Mingjing is really amazing. She can even remember such a long poem."
Yuyi turned her face away to prevent herself from laughing out loud, and Mingjing was exposed.
Minghui's face hurt, especially so. He thought that his younger brother loved to eat like his mother, and he looked like her, so he must have the same personality as her. Unexpectedly, this kid remembered all the words he taught him. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's really amazing. Mingjing knows so many words at such a young age!"
Actually, it was he who taught Mingjing these words. When he was reading, he would recite along with him. He didn't expect his younger brother to recognize all the words, he just hoped that his younger brother would be able to memorize them by listening more. He didn't expect that.
Ming Jing's eyes were dull, and Xiao Pang didn't know where to put his hands. He looked at his uncle and the third brother stupidly, "I, I'm stupid."
He was really stupid. He secretly followed her into the kitchen and even cut his hand with a knife.
Zhulan couldn't stop laughing. Her child's personality was particularly interesting. She tapped Mingjing's forehead and said, "He may be young, but he has a lot of ideas. Your parents must not know this!"
Li often said that Mingjing looked like her, and that she should love Mingjing more. She also said that Mingjing had several older brothers, so Mingjing didn't have to work so hard.
Mingjing wanted to cry, because his mother knew that she would definitely skin him alive. He covered his little butt with both hands. His mother really beat him, and it hurt so much.
At the Liu family, Ma said to her second daughter-in-law seriously, "I am very happy that you love my sister-in-law, but I cannot accept the dowry you give me."
Ning Ting is from the Ning family. Her father is a marquis. Her mother is also from a large family. Her dowry was a huge one.
Ning Ting said sincerely: "Mom, this is my intention. I only have this little sister-in-law."
Ning Ting also wanted her sister-in-law's dowry to look better. Only she knew how generous her own dowry was.
After grandma passed away, grandpa divided up her dowry. Yes, he also divided up the wealth that grandma had accumulated over the years. At that time, she was brought by her mother to manage the household, and she was shocked at how much money grandma had saved.
My grandmother came from a small family, so her dowry was not much, but the dowry she had accumulated in the Duke's Mansion over the years was more than five or six times that, not to mention the money she had to fill in to fill the gaps in the Du family.
After grandpa divided the dowry, he fell ill. Mom didn't keep any of it. She mostly gave it to her and her younger sister. She knew that mom was resentful of grandma and didn't want to see anything that grandma had saved.
Grandma's dowry items were displayed openly and brought into the Liu family, and the rest of the money became her private property and was not included in the dowry list.
Ma was shocked by her daughter-in-law's dowry. She was intimidated by her daughter-in-law just by looking at the dowry, not to mention that her daughter-in-law was a noble lady. Ma was always insecure about her second daughter-in-law. "I know your feelings, but Liu Jia's dowry is enough."
Ma thought that if the master had not said that the family could not be divided yet, she would really want to divide it.
Ning Ting understood her mother-in-law's temper better after getting married, and she was sure that it would not change. "Then I'll take it back."
Ma breathed a sigh of relief. She did not lie. The dowry for her daughter was enough. Ming Teng was a good man and the Zhou family was kind and righteous. A large amount of gifts had been given as betrothal gifts. Her daughter would take these back with her. Adding what she had prepared at home, it would be enough.
Two days later, the road to Zhangzhou was finally open, and the team transporting supplies arrived at the city of Zhangzhou, but the team stopped at the city gate and did not move forward.
The prefect of Zhangzhou has been very uneasy these days. When he heard the news that he would not enter the city, his eyelids twitched violently, "I have a bad feeling."
The judge was also worried, "There was nothing wrong with our disaster relief procedures."
The prefect of Zhangzhou squinted at the judge and asked, "Haven't you found out the identities of the people in the inn yet?"
The judge shook his head. "The heavy snow has blocked the city these days, so news is slow to spread. This group of people left the city a few days ago and never left the inn again. Bribery failed. The servants are very tight-lipped."
The prefect of Zhangzhou frowned and said, "I think it's the prince of Qi Wangfu. In the past two years, the prince of Qi Wangfu has been following the King of Qin. He should be about the same age."
The judge thought so too.
Well, Zhou Shuren thought he would be exposed soon, but they ended up thinking about Xu Chen. It would be easy to confuse people if there was a Xu Chen outside working with King Qin.
The prince narrowed his eyes and said, "Let them camp outside the city."
Now that it has stopped snowing and the tent is thick, there will be no problem camping outside. He just wants to wait for the action of the prefect of Zhangzhou.
The prince touched the written memorial, which was the result of several days of investigation. Did he really think that the masters in the palace could keep them safe just by keeping an eye on them
Zhou Shuren was not as angry as the prince. In ancient times, transportation and information were not convenient. The ruling parties of each state followed the major families. He had seen too much over the years and could guess everything without investigating it clearly.
Zhou Shuren glanced at Lord Yan. Ever since the warning, Lord Yan had been having trouble getting along with the Crown Prince. He could understand that habits were not so easy to change, but if he didn't say anything now, the Emperor would be disappointed.
Zhou Shuren glanced at the guard standing at the door. This man was the emperor's confidant. When the emperor was still the prince, this man followed behind the emperor. Now he is the emperor's eyes.
Zhou Shuren asked, "Your Highness, are you going to personally lead the disaster relief?"
The prince shook his head, "No, I will choose the right person to lead the disaster relief."
He is young and does not need to personally build up his reputation among the people. As he is the crown prince, what he needs to learn is to make good use of talents.
Zhou Shuren's eyes were filled with relief, the prince was young but he was already able to make steady progress and he was well aware of his own status, which was very good. The prince looked at the big picture and did not forget his status for the sake of a little popularity.
When the prince saw Minister Zhou nod slightly, his smile deepened. He seldom received praise from Minister Zhou, and he had not had many opportunities to be taught by him in recent years. However, every time he went to ask for advice, he benefited a lot, not in terms of knowledge, but in terms of ideas.
