Rongchuan saw Shenxing pinching himself for a long time. It was not a dream. He walked a little fast and stumbled a little. Shenxing supported him. Rongchuan's mood was a little up and down. "Ming, where is Mingteng?"
Shen Xing was shivering all over, his face full of frostbite. "The prince is safe. We discovered the problem a long time ago. When the people made a move, we rushed out as planned. The heavy snow blocked the road, so I came in a detour."
That's why he spared it for so many days. He was afraid that the news of the prince's accident would spread back to the capital, so he didn't dare to stop even if a horse died along the way. Yesterday, he heard the rumbling sound again, so he didn't dare to rest at night and brought his men all the way here.
Rongchuan felt relieved, "You have worked hard, thank you for your hard work."
Shenxing was exhausted both physically and mentally. It was really difficult for them to get all the way here. They didn't dare to rest at night for fear of encountering wolves. The local people were also scary.
Rong Chuan saw that the others were in a very sorry state. Knowing that Ming Teng was safe, he was now full of strength and said to the guard, "Go and arrange for them to go down and rest."
Shen Xing did not leave, "The prince is still waiting for news, we don't need to rest."
Rong Chuan, "In your current situation, it would be a burden if you follow me. Go and rest first. I will take your prince back."
Shen Xing listened and said, "Your Highness, the journey is dangerous, just send someone over."
Rong Chuan raised his hand, "I have made up my mind, you guys go and rest."
In the capital, Zhulan received the news that Yulu was pregnant, so she went to Wang's house in person. Tao explained, "I kept it a secret from Yulu, but someone couldn't bear to see us get along well."
Zhulan, "What did the doctor say?"
"You'll be fine after taking a few pregnancy-maintaining pills. Now you need Yu Lu to calm down. She has been crying since she woke up. No matter what I say to her, it's no use."
As they were talking, they had already arrived at the small courtyard where Yu Lu lived. Before they even stepped into the door, they heard the old woman's voice of persuasion.
Zhulan walked into the room, and Yulu was crying silently, "Your second sister-in-law didn't cry because she was afraid of bringing misfortune to your second brother, but you cried even harder, don't cry."
Yu Lu held back her tears and asked, "Grandma, why are you here?"
"You're having a miscarriage, can I not come over?"
The Wang family cares the most about offspring, and Yu Lu's belly is so precious to them. The one who came to the Marquis' Mansion to report the news was the chief steward, who was so anxious that he was sweating all over his forehead. The Wang family was afraid that Yu Lu would get too excited and lose the child.
Yu Lu wanted to cry again, "My parents are not in the capital, they kept it a secret from me, and I was the last one to know."
"Okay, grandma knows that you have a good relationship with your second brother. As long as your second brother hasn't been found, you have to have hope."
Zhulan sat down and took the pat to wipe her granddaughter's tears. "If anything happens to you, your second brother will never feel at ease when he comes back. He misses you the most and cares about your child the most. Even if it's for your second brother, you have to protect yourself and your child."
Yu Lu's tears gradually stopped flowing, and she lay in her grandmother's arms, "Grandma, I am sorry that I am an unfilial granddaughter and made you worry."
Zhulan touched Yu Lu's loose hair. The three people in the first house who had the deepest feelings for were Mingyun, Mingteng and Yu Lu. The three of them witnessed the development of the Zhou family. When Minghui was no longer around, Yu Lu was brought up by her two brothers. When Yu Lu got married, Mingteng was afraid that his sister would suffer any grievances, so he gave Yu Lu all the good things. Yu Lu reacted so strongly when Mingteng got into trouble.
When Mrs. Tao saw that her granddaughter-in-law finally stopped crying, she felt relieved. If anything happened to her granddaughter-in-law, her mother-in-law would blame her for not managing the household well, and she would have no way to explain to her grandson.
Yu Lu was very tired and had another miscarriage. Zhu Lan watched Yu Lu drink the medicine to maintain the pregnancy, and then she reached out her hand and patted Yu Lu like she did when she was a child, "Go to sleep, grandma is here."
Yu Lu's eyes were red. Her brother was in trouble, and the whole family was upset. Her grandmother had to force herself to comfort her, "Grandma, I'm fine. You should take care of yourself too."
Zhulan wanted to laugh but couldn't. She tried to avoid a stiff smile, without much expression on her face. "When you fall asleep, grandma will go back to rest. Close your eyes."
Yu Lu was still obedient and closed her eyes honestly. With her grandmother by her side, her uneasy heart gradually calmed down.
Zhulan patted her for a while, and made sure that Yu Lu was sleeping soundly before Ran Wan helped her go outside.
Mrs. Tao had been waiting outside for a while. "It's because I didn't manage the family well. The second and third wives were resentful and jealous after being separated. This time they got the chance and instigated the maid to say that something happened to Prince Rong."
Zhulan, "This is Wang's business, I won't get involved. I'm tired too, I'll go back first."
She would not force the Wang family to deal with anyone. The Wang family would give them an explanation.
Tao sighed, "Our family values offspring. My old lady and old man are angry, and the other two families are already kneeling in the main courtyard."
Zhulan didn't reply and left Wang's house and returned to the carriage. Ran Wan saw that her grandmother was tired and said, "Grandma, let me give you a massage."
Zhulan nodded, "Okay, I won't come tomorrow. You have to work harder and make more trips these days."
"Grandma, this is what I should do, it's not hard."
Zhulan is very satisfied with Ran Wan, her eldest grandson's wife. Ran Wan has done a good job these days.
The days that the Zhou family waited for the result were agonizing. Fortunately, when Rongchuan went to pick up Mingteng, he did not forget to send an expedited letter to the capital. The Zhou family's agonizing days finally ended that day.
After receiving the news, Zhou Shuren took a carriage home. After getting off the carriage, he staggered and almost fell down, which scared Butler Ding and Jin Yan so much that they broke out in a sweat.
Zhou Shuren laughed and ran away quickly. Zhulan heard the news in the house and reacted instantly, "Is there any news about Ming Teng?"
Zhou Shuren stepped through the threshold and said, "Ming Teng is fine. This kid remembers my instructions. This stinky boy, this stinky boy, Rong Chuan has gone to pick up Ming Teng."
Zhulan also smiled, and then asked Qingxue to notify everyone and set off firecrackers. She wanted everyone to know that her grandson was fine!
After she finished explaining, Zhulan's eyes went dark. Zhou Shuren stopped smiling and said, "Call the doctor."
When Zhulan woke up again, it was already half an hour later. Zhou Shuren said, "You fainted from being too excited."
"I am becoming more and more useless. I didn't faint when Ming Teng was in trouble, but I fainted when Ming Teng was fine."
"We are all old, and you haven't had much rest these days."
"You didn't get much rest."
They tried their best not to disturb each other at night. In fact, neither of them slept much. When they finally felt sleepy, they lost their sleepiness as soon as they thought of Ming Teng. They both aged several years in these days.
Zhou Shuren held his wife's hand and said, "Our youngest son is coming home soon. We need to take good care of our health so that he won't suffer."
Zhulan was more energetic. "I want to eat hot pot, I want to eat barbecue, and I also want to eat roast chicken."
The most she ate these days was porridge. Now that Ming Teng was fine, she wanted to eat everything.
Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "I have asked the kitchen to approve the hot pot."
"We are so connected."
"I'm going to drink more today."
"I'll drink with you. The fruit wine brewed by the eldest brother's wife is good. I'll drink a few more glasses today."
Chang Yi and his wife and others stood outside. Chang Yi listened to the conversation inside and waved to his nephews and nieces, "Go back."
Zhao smiled and said, "I can finally rest assured."
God knows that she and her husband have been worried not only about Mingteng these days, but also about their parents. They are afraid that if something happens to their parents, they will not be able to explain themselves.
