Therefore, we must have the emperor's favor, and we must also seize the opportunity to gain more power. Only when we become strong can we feel less depressed and live more freely.
Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and squinted his eyes. Wu Ming was the fallback he had prepared. So, if he used this knife that was delivered to his door well, he would not only be the emperor's but also the ally he needed. Especially when he was about to jump into the whirlpool, apart from the favor given by the emperor, his own snobbery was too weak.
Chang Lian's brother-in-law Jiang Ming wants to get promoted again, but he can't do that for a few years. If luck is not good for him, Jiang Ming will have a hard time. Zhou Shuren can no longer count on Jiang Ming.
Zhou Shuren didn't let Shi Qing get up. He just watched Shi Qing plotting. He didn't need to hold the knife, he just needed to use the force. Zhou Shuren felt very excited when he thought about it. He was trying to steal the emperor's girl.
Shi Qing felt a little pain in his waist, and then his legs went numb. He was used to this bent posture, but he had never stood for so long. But he was not angry, he had no right to be angry.
Zhou Shuren calculated the time bit by bit. He wanted to see Shi Qing's limit. Chang Lian had practiced this posture before, but compared with Shi Qing, Chang Lian was not good enough.
It has been a quarter of an hour, and Shi Qing still doesn't move. After another quarter of an hour, Shi Qing's legs are still not shaking. It can be seen that Shi Qing is the one who has really practiced, and he is also cruel to himself.
Zhou Shuren said, "Get up!"
Shi Qing bit his mouth until it bled, and then bit himself hard and slowly stood up, "Thank you, sir."
Zhou Shuren looked at Shi Qing's face, which was pale, but his breathing soon became even. Zhou Shuren narrowed his eyes and said, "To be honest, I don't like you."
Shi Qing's eyes moved. Lord Zhou was really straightforward. Indeed, no one would like him now.
Zhou Shuren said playfully, "Don't you want to know why?"
Shi Qing pursed her lips and said, "Students know clearly."
Zhou Shuren, "No, you don't know. What I don't like is your ruthlessness. Who knows if you will use this ruthlessness against me in the future."
Shi Qing was stunned. Was he going to swear? But he had no right to swear. At present, he had no right at all. Shi Qing kept his mouth shut.
Zhou Shuren stood up. He didn't expect to get anything from Shi Qing now. However, Zhou Shuren squinted his eyes and said he was not in a hurry. "You should clean up tomorrow. I will give you seven days to travel around the whole Lizhou. Remember, there are only seven days."
Shi Qing knew this was a test, and frowned as he wanted to ask what Lord Zhou had given him seven days to see. But he couldn't ask, he was completely confused, and when he looked back, Lord Zhou had already left.
Not long after Zhou Shuren left the house, he ran into Lord He. Lord He smiled and said, "Sir, can I have a word with you?"
Zhou Shuren smiled and nodded, "Okay."
Lord He is smart and young. Zhou Shuren has been observing Lord He for almost two years. Lord He intends to rely on him to be independent and no longer rely on the Yue family. He has also tried to win him over. It seems that Lord He has made up his mind now.
At night, Zhulan knew Zhou Shuren was in a good mood as soon as he saw her. "Is it solved?"
Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "It's almost done."
Zhulan yawned again. Zhou Shuren frowned, very worried. "Why are you sleepy before dinner? Let's see a doctor tomorrow!"
Zhulan also felt that she had been yawning more recently. "Okay, it's too late tonight. Let's ask Doctor Zhang to come and see her tomorrow."
If Zhou Shuren hadn't mentioned it, Zhulan really didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her. Zhulan didn't think she was sick. Her appetite was very good today. She ate three buns by herself for lunch!
