After hearing this, Yu's face turned pale with fear. Not to mention Yu, even Ning Hui was dumbfounded, "Grandma, you said there are people from the emperor in the Zhou Mansion?"
Lady Ningguo snorted, "What are you two focusing on? When Lord Zhou was in Lizhou, the Emperor openly gave him to someone else. Now he has been staying in the Zhou Mansion. The Song woman next to Zhou Yang is the one."
Yu's face turned even paler. Mrs. Song had been by Yang's side today, and her thoughts must have been seen clearly. The Queen Mother didn't like her in the first place, and she must be disgusted with her this time.
Ning Hui thought more. When Lord Zhou was not recuperating, he had always been by the prince's side. Not long after Lord Zhou had recuperated, something happened in the Ministry of Justice. He remembered hearing his father say a few words that Lord Zhou must have helped the prince discover something and he was recuperating in order not to get involved.
Ning Hui thought about his aunt again. His aunt must have warned Yu not to offend the Zhou family for the sake of the prince.
Lady Ningguo said coldly, "Now you are afraid."
She knows her own daughter best. The hostility of the Yu family towards the Zhou family and Rongchuan is a thorn in her daughter's heart. She must be very angry, otherwise she would not have asked the female official to come to the Duke's Mansion directly, but would have passed the message privately.
Lady Ningguo turned around and left. Yu's heart had grown up, and Du couldn't get away with it. It was not easy for her to educate Ning Hui, but Du could still do it.
After Mrs. Du knew the purpose of the female official's visit, she knew that her mother-in-law would definitely look for her. Mrs. Du was annoyed that Mrs. Yu was stupid. She didn't know the situation in her own family, but she still went to visit the Zhou family. The eldest daughter of the Zhou family could not get married, nor would she marry into the Yu family.
The news that the Queen punished Yu, the granddaughter-in-law of the Duke of Ningguo, spread quickly. Zhao from the Yu Mansion was still thinking of waiting for her master to come back and complain, but after hearing the news, she gave up the idea.
As for going to see Yu, Zhao didn't dare to do so. At this time, the Ningguo Mansion would definitely not welcome her.
At the Zhou residence, Zhulan calmed down after hearing the news. In a good mood, she asked Butler Ding, "Have you finished cleaning up the yard I asked you to clean up?"
Steward Ding said, "It has been cleaned up and arranged according to your cousin's preferences."
Zhulan stood up and said, "I'll go take a look too."
She received the letter when she was in Zhuangzi. Jiang Du had already set out and should be halfway through the journey. When she returned home, she thought about cleaning up the yard for her grandson to live in.
All the large courtyards in the Zhou mansion were occupied, leaving only a few small courtyards. Finally, they chose the one closest to the study.
The courtyard is not very big, but the location is very good and it is quiet, so Jiang Du can concentrate on reading.
Zhulan looked at the arrangement again. Her understanding of her grandson's growth came from her eldest daughter's reply. "I wonder if Jiang Du will like this arrangement."
Mrs. Song replied, "As long as it's arranged by you, my cousin will definitely like it."
Zhulan thought about Jiang Du's character. This child is a particularly filial child. She also thought of her grandson's admiration for Zhou Shuren. She couldn't help laughing out loud. Zhou Shuren's fans are here.
Mrs. Song breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her mistress was finally happy. If her mistress was unhappy, the master would also be unhappy, and the servants like them would not dare to breathe.
At the Yaohou Mansion, Yao Yao was kneeling with a stomachache and her face turned pale. Shen Yile noticed and helped her up, "Yao Yao, take a rest. Don't forget that you are not alone now."
The weather is cool now and the temperature is dropping quickly. It's cold even if you don't wear enough during the day, let alone kneeling all the time. Even with a cushion, you will feel very cold after a long time.
Yao Yao's stomach was indeed very uncomfortable, and sweat broke out on her forehead. "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Shen Yile asked, "Where is my brother-in-law?"
Yao Yao wiped the sweat off her face with a handkerchief. "He has something urgent to do. He will be here in a while."
Shen Yile stared at Yao Yao's pale face. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that there seemed to be a conflict between her brother-in-law and Yao Yao.
Shen Yile was happy about the death of her mother-in-law, because without her, some concubines would not dare to interfere with the legitimate son, and no one would be able to give her a concubine openly in the future. The pressure on her was finally gone.
Yao Yao's mind was a little distracted and she couldn't help touching her belly. She had a bump because of the child and her husband, and pregnant women are sensitive. She felt that her husband was not very excited about having a child, and she couldn't help but clutching her handkerchief.
Yao Yao lowered her head. As smart as she was, she didn't notice anything when she first got married, but as time went by, she found that her husband was not just a scholar in the Hanlin Academy. A woman's intuition was very accurate. Thinking of her husband muttering about his daughter all the time, Yao Yao felt her stomach hurt even more.
In the afternoon, after school, Gu Liufeng got on the carriage of the Zhou Mansion. When he got on the carriage, Gu Liufeng was very reserved, "Is it okay for me to go empty-handed?"
Mingyun put the book aside and said, "It's my fault for inviting you at the last minute, but after today, grandpa will be busy tomorrow, so it's okay, my grandpa doesn't mind."
This morning he told his grandfather that he wanted to invite Gu Liufeng. His grandfather said he wanted to meet him, and after getting his grandfather's consent, he told Gu Liufeng directly.
Gu Liufeng touched the silver in his purse. There was not much, just over two taels. It was the silver his uncle gave him on his birthday two days ago. A total of five taels, he spent some of it on buying pens and ink.
Gu Liufeng was sitting beside the carriage. When he saw the snack shop, he immediately shouted to stop the car. Mingyun knew that Gu Liufeng didn't have much money, and he would have to buy pens and ink if he had money. The teachers in their academy liked to give homework, and most of them were dictation, which wasted even more pens and ink.
