Zhou Shuren knew that Zhulan was frightened, so he hugged her and said, "No, it didn't hurt at all, and we arrived in the capital safely."
Zhulan's eyes were red. "That's good, that's good. Stop hugging me. I've prepared some hot water. Go take a bath and relax."
Zhou Shuren hugged Zhulan tightly, "Hold me for a while longer."
Even though he looked calm, he was still scared after the problem was solved.
Zhulan smelled the familiar scent on Zhou Shuren and felt calm.
Half an hour later, Zhou Shuren finished his bath and felt much better. The food prepared by Zhulan was also on the table. She personally served Zhou Shuren chicken soup. "I received the message you sent me this morning, and I asked the kitchen to cook ginseng chicken soup. Drink it quickly to replenish your body."
Zhou Shuren took the bowl and it wasn’t very hot. He blew on it for a while and drank it. “Don’t bother.”
Zhu Lan stared at Zhou Shuren's face. It was an ordinary face, but she just couldn't get enough of it. "Did you resolve the true and false fifth prince smoothly?"
Zhou Shuren sneered, "Everyone knows it in their hearts. Of course it went smoothly. Surprisingly smoothly."
Zhu Lan asked, "Miss Yao Er is not involved, right?"
Su Xuan spoke up for Miss Yao Er a lot in the morning. She had a good impression of Miss Yao Er and hoped that she would not be implicated.
Zhou Shuren poured himself another bowl of soup and said, "Except for the fake one in the Fifth Prince's mansion, no one is implicated. However, even if there is no involvement, Miss Yao's life will not be easy."
Zhulan sighed, "Yeah."
In the Mansion of Marquis Yao, Yao Yao looked at her concubine sister expressionlessly. The concubine sister Yao Xin was fourteen years old and now became the most promising lady in the mansion. From the time when the Fifth Prince was granted marriage to today's real and fake Fifth Prince, her status as a legitimate daughter in the mansion plummeted. If she did not have a mother who was the mistress of the house, the servants would probably dare to bully her.
Thinking of the maids and the old woman, true friendship is revealed in times of adversity and a person's true character is revealed over time. In just two days, except for the old woman who had watched her grow up and the two maids who grew up with her, all the others had unfaithful tendencies.
Yao Xin felt relieved. So what if she was the eldest daughter? "My sister has been staying in her room for the past two days, so she probably doesn't know."
Yao Yao said calmly, "Know what?"
Yao Xin hooked her eyes and said, "Ah, it seems that sister really doesn't know that from tomorrow on, my aunt will be in charge of the house until mother recovers from her illness."
Yao Yao felt heavy in her heart. Her mother was so angry about her that she had a quarrel with her father and then fell ill. As for the management of the house, well, that was up to her father.
Should she count the money she has? She will have a hard time these days. "Oh."
Yao Xin's expression changed. It was obvious that her elder sister was useless, so why was she still so indifferent? It was really an insult. She snorted with a cold face.
After Yao Yao and her concubine sister left, she felt relieved in her heart. The real prince had returned. She had passed the most difficult hurdle. It was great.
The next day, Zhulan woke up very early, opened her eyes and looked at Zhou Shuren without blinking. When Zhou Shuren woke up, Zhulan smiled and said, "You're awake."
Zhou Shuren turned sideways and said, "It looks like you've been up for a while."
Zhulan hugged Zhou Shuren's neck and said, "It's so nice to see you when I open my eyes."
Zhou Shuren, "Me too."
“Ah, ah.”
Zhulan and Zhou Shuren looked in the direction of the sound and saw that their youngest son had woken up. He pulled away the quilt and sat up. The chubby little guy tilted his head curiously, which was so adorable.
Zhulan took her son and tucked him into bed. The temperature in the room was low in the morning. "Aren't you afraid of catching a cold? You take off the quilt every morning."
Zhou Shuren looked at his wife and son, and felt warm in his heart. Unfortunately, the warmth didn't last for a few seconds. Zhou Shuren's face darkened, "You little bastard, you wet the bed again."
Zhu Lan laughed. This kid had penetrated Zhou Shuren's body three times out of ten. She kissed her son and said, "Little bastard."
Zhou Shuren originally wanted to lie on the warm bed with his wife and children for a while longer, but now that was no longer necessary and he had to get up. He must be angry, because his son didn't know anything. But when he saw the brat giggling, his anger disappeared.
At the government office, Zhou Shuren felt envious, jealous and hateful gazes as soon as he entered the office. He knew in his heart that everyone knew that he was staying in the palace. These people were really well-informed.
Lord Wang came forward and said, "Lord Zhou, would you like to have a drink together tonight?"
Zhou Shuren refused, "No, I want to go home to be with my son."
Lord Wang curled his lips in his heart, what do you mean by accompanying his son? It was obviously accompanying his wife. However, Lord Zhou and his wife had such a good relationship. When he thought about how Mrs. Tao would mention Lord Zhou and his wife in a sour tone every time he went to his concubine's room, he felt particularly guilty.
Zhou Shuren saw Lord Wang standing in front of the table motionless, "Anything else?"
Lord Wang was silent, "Sir, let me ask you a question."
Zhou Shuren thought it was a bad question, "You ask it."
Lord Wang lowered his voice and said, "Sir, have you really never thought about taking a concubine? Have you ever thought about it?"
He had been curious for a long time. He had a good relationship with his wife, but he had a concubine.
Zhou Shuren, "Lord Wang, I value the soul, not the body, and my heart is very small, it can only accommodate my wife. Lord Wang, only sincerity can win true love, but you won't understand even if I tell you!"
After saying that, Zhou Shuren patted Lord Wang on the shoulder and said, "Think about it carefully."
Lord Wang was stunned. His sincerity was rewarded with true love. He thought about what his wife said when they first got married, that she wished to find someone who loved her forever. Although their relationship was good now, they were still separated. He was really bad-mouthed. Why did he ask Lord Zhou? In the end, he was the one who was frustrated.
At the Zhou Mansion, there were three desserts in front of Zhulan. Under Li's expectant gaze, she picked up each one and tasted them. The desserts were sandwiches filled with fruit puree.
After seeing her mother taste it, Li asked nervously, "Mom, how does it taste?"
Zhulan took a sip of hot water and swallowed the snack in her mouth. She pointed at the apple-flavored snack and said, "Except for this one, the other two are fine."
The apple tastes weird.
Li was confused. She also thought apples were unpalatable. "Then I'll think about it again."
Zhulan wanted to give some advice but swallowed the words back and decided to let Li figure it out on her own. Looking at the mumbling Li, Zhulan really missed him. Li hadn't been so motivated in a long time. This time, in order to get more recipes to invest, Li wanted to stay in the kitchen all the time.
Zhulan squinted her eyes, deep in the backyard, and Li was more vivid like this, "Think slowly, there's no rush."
So I grabbed my hair and saw that it is now a mess.
Li muttered something, then clapped her hands. The two chubby hands clapped together and made a loud noise, which scared Zhulan. Li jumped up and said, "Mom, I know, I know."
Then he ran away in a hurry.
Zhulan and Mrs. Song looked at each other and both smiled.
After a while, Mrs. Dong came with a letter in her hand, "Mom, this is a letter from my eldest sister."
Zhulan was puzzled, "The letter your elder sister sent me?"
