After the rest, Zhou Shuren arrived at the government office and was met with Lord Wang's resentful eyes. "... Lord Wang, if you look at me like this, I will misunderstand you and think you have some improper thoughts about me."
Lord Wang choked himself, and after a cough, he trembled his fingers and said, "Lord Zhou, don't say anything nonsense."
Zhou Shuren smiled, "Ah, what did I say that made Lord Wang so excited?"
Lord Wang was terrified. How could there be such a shameless person in this world? "Lord Zhou's shamelessness has given me a new understanding."
Zhou Shuren's eyes were filled with joy, "I will always refresh Lord Wang's cognition."
Lord Wang, “… .”
Why don’t you learn your lesson after repeated defeats
Zhou Shuren walked around Lord Wang and sat down. "Tell me, why are you looking at me like that so early in the morning?"
"Are you pretending to be ignorant when you know the truth?"
Zhou Shuren didn't beat around the bush. "You're talking about He Shu. Don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame Lao Wang. Without me, Lao Wang wouldn't agree. During this period, Lao Wang's attitude was very obvious, but you just turned a blind eye to it."
Wang Ju's mouth twitched, "Without adults interfering, He Shu will be my son-in-law sooner or later."
Zhou Shuren was silent. This was true. “It’s a pity that He Shu and Miss Wang are not destined to be together.”
Wang Ju was very upset. A good son-in-law was also helpful. After raising a daughter for so many years, she must have a valuable one. "How about giving me a son-in-law?"
Zhou Shuren raised his eyes, "Meng Jie can't do it."
Meng Jie is the only one left in the family. To be honest, no one knows what Mr. Meng’s plan is. He has not arranged a marriage for Meng Jie even at the age of seventeen.
Wang Ju curled her lips and said, "Oh, I think Zhou Mingqing in your house is very good."
Zhou Shuren lifted his eyelids and said, "Aren't you afraid of being overfed?"
Damn it, Zhou Mingqing is the future patriarch of the Zhou family. Pah, this guy is really aiming high. He doesn't want the patriarch of the Zhou family to be the brainless illegitimate daughter of the Wang family.
A wife in the Ming and Qing dynasties did not have to have a good family background, but she had to be magnanimous, able to share the worries of the patriarch, and not someone who took advantage of her status to cause trouble.
Wang Ju was silent for a moment, "I was joking."
Zhou Shuren snorted in his heart. He didn't mean any joking at all. Wang Ju did have this idea.
Lord Wang sighed. Why was it so difficult for him to find a son-in-law? It seemed that he could only send him to the capital and let his mother arrange it.
Before noon, Xue Han and Wu Ning returned home. Zhu Lan looked past her daughter's anger and focused on Wu Ning. The new dress she had made in the morning was dirty. Not only was the hem of her dress covered in mud, but there were also mud marks on her body. "Who pushed Wu Ning down?"
Xue Han was furious. "We were going to attend Miss Xu's flower banquet, but Miss Wang suddenly got angry and pushed Wu Ning. It rained yesterday, and there was mud and water everywhere. Wu Ning fell into a puddle."
She became even angrier because these ladies looked at the embarrassed Wu Ning with mocking eyes.
Wu Ning reached out and tugged at Xue Han's sleeve, "I'm fine."
Zhulan knew why. It must be because of He Shu. He Shu was invited to the Wang family yesterday. The Wang family must have known about it. She didn't expect that the proud concubine of the Wang family would fall in love with He Shu. To be honest, He Shu was indeed good-looking.
Xue Han frowned, "Humph, Miss Wang's words are very unpleasant. Fortunately, she didn't mention He Shu. At least she has some brains."
Wu Ning's face turned pale. Miss Wang's words hit her sore spot. Her eyes were dim. Her reputation for being unkind must have become even more famous today.
Wu Ning knew about He Shu. She was not stupid. Yesterday, Xue Han took her to see He Shu secretly, but she did not recognize He Shu. It was not until Xue Han carried the purse that she remembered him. She was surprised at the fate, and then it was gone. Even after listening to Xue Han's analysis, she and He Shu had an 99% chance of being together, but it didn't happen, so she didn't dare to hope for it.
She felt a little embarrassed when what happened today got out.
Zhulan pressed her eyebrows. Wu Ning was not cutting in. Lord Wang would not agree to it in the first place. Seeing Wu Ning's pale face, she held Wu Ning's hand and said, "Auntie will definitely give you an explanation for what happened today."
Wu Ning was raised in the Zhou family, and the Zhou family is the most protective of their children.
Unfortunately, before Zhulan could get up and go to Wang's house, the servants arrived. After knowing they were coming, Zhulan called Su Xuan, and the two of them packed up and went to Wang's house.
Su Xuan clenched her hands, her heart full of worry, "Mom, will my cousin be okay?"
Zhulan counted the days and said, "It's not a premature birth. Don't worry, your cousin is in good health. She will be fine."
Su Xuan's eyes were fierce. She had long been fed up with the concubine of the Wang family. Her aunt had not given birth on time because she was angry at the concubine. "If anything happens to my aunt and the child, I will not let her go."
Zhulan knew that Mrs. Tao would be angry about the banquet, but she didn't expect that she would be so angry that she gave birth prematurely. However, after this, she didn't need to find an explanation, as Lord Wang would personally deal with the concubine.
Zhu Lan said faintly: "Why can't you figure it out? Lord Wang is such a smart man."
Su Xuan sneered, "You can't blame my uncle, my biological mother also has a lot to do with it."
Zhulan was silent. It was indeed true.
When the carriage arrived at the Wang Mansion, Zhulan ran into Lord Wang. Lord Wang hurriedly greeted them and rushed into the backyard. Zhulan was stunned for a moment, thinking to herself, she didn't know how much of Lord Wang was going for Tao and how much for the child.
Zhulan and Suxuan arrived at the backyard. There was no chaos in the Wang residence because of the mistress's delivery, but there was constant crying outside the delivery room. Zhulan felt a headache listening to it. Concubine, was her crying real? At least, Zhulan smelled the scent of ginger.
Lord Wang was angry, "Get out, all of you get out."
The concubines dared not say a word and were weakly supported by the maids and left. Only the concubine Wang Li and Wang Li's aunt were left, and the two of them knelt in the yard.
Zhulan took a quick glance and saw that Wang Li's dress was also covered in mud.
Su Xuan sneered and held her cousin's hand tightly. The cousin's palm was cold and she held it tightly with heartache, "Aunt will be safe."
Wang Lei nodded heavily, "Yes."
Zhulan saw that she had nothing to do with it, so she came here because she was afraid that there would be chaos in the backyard of the Wang Mansion and that the Tao family was being plotted against. Now it seems that the Tao family has extremely strict control over the mansion.
Mrs. Tao had already shouted, and Lord Wang was muttering something. Zhulan listened carefully and found that it was the Heart Sutra. Well, this family is very devout in Buddhism. Not only Mrs. Tao worships Buddha, but Lord Wang is also very familiar with the scriptures.
Time passed little by little. For an elderly woman, giving birth was not easy. Lord Wang's face became more and more ugly, especially when basins of blood were brought out.
Zhulan's thoughts were somewhat divergent. She discovered that her safe childbirth was due to her own good care, and more importantly, it was due to some benefits of time travel, which could be considered a golden finger.
Tao's condition is not good, and the doctor has arrived.
Lord Wang's face became darker and darker. Listening to Mrs. Tao's weak cry, Lord Wang roared, "As long as you and the child are safe, I will no longer go to my concubine's room."
