In Zhoujia Village, Xuemei was preparing to go to the Jiang family with her daughter. Just as they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Zhang Datie and his wife walked in.
Xuemei saw that the two looked haggard and asked, "Why are you two here?"
Zhang Datie pulled Zhu down to kneel, "Please save us, we have no other choice but to ask Lord Zhou to save us."
Xuemei pulled her daughter back. Then Old Man Jiang heard the noise and came out of the house. "What happened?"
Xuemei patted her daughter and said, "You and Grandpa go back to the house."
Jiang Miao held her mother's hand and shook her head, "Mom, I'll stay with you."
Seeing that her daughter was not leaving, Xuemei said to her father-in-law, "Dad, it's okay, you can go back first."
Old man Jiang knew that it was not something he should know, so he turned around and went back to the house. Now the old couple in the Jiang family listen to their son and daughter-in-law. They live a good life, dress well, eat well, and don’t have to work hard. In their free time, they go to the fields or chat with the old men in the village. How many people envy their life in their later years!
Xuemei brought Zhang Datie and his wife into the hall, "Tell me clearly what I want to save you."
Zhang Datie was terrified and tormented, and trembled as he said, "Some time ago, someone came to the village to investigate Rongchuan. They broke into our house in the middle of the night, holding a knife in their hands, and interrogated us. We didn't dare to hide anything, so we told them everything, and they threatened us not to tell anyone."
Xuemei finally realized that Zhang Datie and his wife hesitated to talk every time they saw her. It turned out to be about this matter. "Why are you talking about it again now?"
Zhu wiped her tears, "We have no choice. This life is so painful. We dare not fall asleep and we are killed. We know that Rongchuan's parents will definitely take revenge on us for treating him like that. Datie said that this person must be trained, not an ordinary servant. Woohoo, we really changed. We agreed to write it off at the beginning."
Zhu had suffered enough in her heart, and her mentality was completely broken.
Zhang Datie rubbed his face fiercely, "We only ask to write a letter to Lord Zhou, hoping to talk to Rongchuan and ask him to let us go. Even if he doesn't let us go, it's fine, but the child is innocent, they know nothing."
As he spoke, Zhang Datie wiped away his tears. They had been living in fear every day. They also thought about running away. It would be too easy to find them if they ran to somewhere else.
And he didn't dare to run, he always felt that someone was watching them.
Xuemei understood everything and heard important news from it. Rongchuan's life experience was extraordinary. "I know. I will write a letter back to my parents' home now. You can go back first."
Zhang Datie and his wife looked at each other and thanked him profusely, "Thank you, thank you."
Xuemei sent Zhang Datie and his wife away, and said quietly, "So people should be kind. It's not that there will be no retribution, it's just that the time has not come yet. Look, the retribution of the Zhang family has come."
Jiang Miao understood, "Mom, will anything happen to the Zhang family?"
Xuemei took her daughter to write a letter, "In the eyes of some powerful people, the lives of ordinary people are worthless. Moreover, Zhang Datie and his wife abused Rongchuan. The beating hurts the son, and the parents hate him in their hearts."
Jiang Miao was silent, "So, something will happen to the Zhang family."
Xuemei did not respond to her daughter because she knew in her heart that it was very easy for the powerful to take people's lives.
At the gate of the capital city, Zhulan's family's carriages were lined up. There were only a few carriages when they came, but there were quite a few carriages returning.
After leaving the city gate, Zhulan was eager to go home, but unfortunately, according to the date, today was not Zhou Shuren's day off. She patted her son's back and said, "Go to sleep, wait until mother calls you."
In Chang Lian's carriage, Dong sat motionless, adjusting her clothes and sleeves from time to time, and she didn't hold her daughter in her arms today.
Chang Lian supported his chin and said, "I told you not to wear such complicated clothes when riding in a carriage. Now it's you who are tired."
Mrs. Dong, "You don't understand. I am just taking advantage of you. This is my new image. Now I am also the wife of an official."
Chang Lian was amused, "So that's what you were thinking. I always thought you didn't care!"
Dong was speechless, "Which eye of yours saw that I didn't care? I care a lot. I can't compare to the county lady, but I also want to get closer to her."
Chang Lian held Dong's hand and said, "You are not taking advantage of me. We are one as husband and wife."
Mrs. Dong smiled and said, "Then can you lend me your shoulder to lean on?"
"Yes, ma'am."
In the Queen's Palace, the Queen was a little absent-minded. Ning Xu had been here for a while, and the Queen was distracted. When the Queen came back to her senses, Ning Xu said, "Since you know that Rong Chuan is the fifth brother, and you are reluctant to let Rong Chuan leave, when will the Queen recognize him?"
The queen pressed her eyebrows and said, "Third brother, I would like to recognize you, but I can't. Now is not the right time."
Ning Xu thought, so what if the emperor has all kinds of concerns and helplessness, "Then I can only protect him first."
Queen, "Please, Third Brother."
She and the emperor also thought about secretly recognizing him in private, but they were afraid that once they did, Rong Chuan would not be able to pretend to be genuine, and they were also afraid that they would not be able to control their emotions. Now the hidden forces have not been uncovered, so they cannot recognize their son.
The only consolation is that they know who their biological son is and who they should protect. Moreover, no one will doubt their son's appearance even if the Ning Mansion comes forward. Everyone knows that the eldest son of the Ning family is a headache for old man Ning.
Ning Xu was willing to protect Rongchuan. Just based on Rongchuan's appearance, he was very willing to protect him and felt like he was protecting his elder brother.
The Queen suddenly said, "Next time, when Third Brother gives Rongchuan something, choose something that can be sold for silver. This child likes silver."
Ning Xu, "... ..."
No, sister, you're putting it in a difficult position for me. I'm delivering this gift to your door, and I can still tell Rongchuan that you can sell it
At noon, at the Zhou Mansion in Jinzhou, Zhulan saw Zhou Shuren as soon as she got off the carriage and walked over happily, "Why are you home?"
Zhou Shuren saw his son running over, so he held him up and said, "I knew you would come back today, so I took a leave of absence."
Zhulan was delighted, "I didn't write to you to tell you I would be back today, but you knew about it. Does this count as telepathy?"
Zhou Shuren walked back with his son in his arms, "Yes, we are in sync."
Changzhong hugged his father's neck tightly, "Dad, I miss you too."
Zhou Shuren, "Daddy misses you too."
Zhulan looked at Zhou Shuren and his son and said, "It's better to go home."
Zhou Shuren leaned close to Zhulan's ear and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Everyone at the gate watched helplessly as their parents left them and went back to the yard.
Li's eyes widened, "Mom ignored us!"
Boss Zhou and the others looked up at the sky in silence. She indeed ignored them and didn't even give them a glance. Mother only had eyes for father!
Chang Lian was also depressed. He thought his father would say a few words to him, but he completely ignored him. His father was really the only one with eyes for his mother.
