Mingyun was waiting for Gu Liufeng's reply when the teacher came in. Liufeng shook his head. Mingyun felt that Gu Liufeng would not tell him.
At the Zhou family, Zhao came back, "Mom, something happened at the Gu family."
Zhulan put down her needlework, and Xuehan tilted her head to look at her second sister-in-law, "Second sister-in-law, what could have happened to the Gu family?"
Zhao slapped her lips and then said, "Look at my mouth, mother, do you still remember the cousin of Liu Feng I told you about?"
Zhulan nodded. Of course she remembered it and it was still vivid in her mind.
Zhao continued, "Hu just told me today that Liu Feng's cousin committed suicide a few days ago."
Zhulan was stunned. "Dead?"
Zhao nodded, "The person was found in the morning and died in the middle of the night. I heard from Hu that Master Gu would deal with it when he returned to worship the ancestors. I didn't expect that cousin Liu Feng committed suicide before the day of worshiping the ancestors."
Zhulan felt heavy in her heart. She had returned with hope, but she didn't know what had happened in the process that she would choose to commit suicide. "What a pity."
Zhao sighed. She was not as depressed as her mother-in-law. She was used to seeing life and death. "Hu said that Lord Gu was very angry and sent people back to bury the body. He set up a separate grave."
Zhulan's raised hand froze, "What did the Gu family say?"
Zhao shook her head. "Even if Hu knew, she wouldn't tell me. If I hadn't asked her today, she wouldn't have told me because she couldn't hold it in. But I think the Gu family must have done something, so cousin Liu Feng committed suicide."
Zhulan also thought so. If she had not been forced to do so, she would not have committed suicide. The reputation of the Gu family's daughter would be ruined.
When Zhou Shuren arrived at Lord Li's house in the evening, many people had already arrived, and he also saw Yao Zheyu.
Li Zhao was talking, but his eyes were on the box in Zhou Shuren's hand, "I knew you would come."
Zhou Shuren handed over the box with a painful look on his face, "Your Excellency, you should know that I have wanted to copy a copy several times and sent it to you."
Li Zhao opened the box immediately upon hearing this. Seeing that it was the real thing, he laughed and said, "You should keep it for yourself to copy!"
Zhou Shuren rolled his eyes in his heart and said, "Sir, I am planning to hold a big birthday banquet next year. I will definitely send you an invitation as soon as possible."
Li Zhao patted Zhou Shuren's back with a smile, "Okay, okay, don't worry, I'm not stingy, I'm definitely more generous than you."
The thing that the family has the most is antiques, but unfortunately Zhou Shuren doesn't believe that he will give good things. Zhou Shuren is just a narrow-minded person.
Although the Li family did not hold a big celebration, there were still many people who came, including several princes.
Zhou Shuren's seat was not good, but Li Zhao was really good at arranging it. His seat was behind several princes. As soon as he took his seat, someone sat next to him. "Greetings, King Qi."
The King of Qi held up the wine glass and said, "I have always heard that Lord Zhou and Lord Li have a good relationship. I didn't believe it before, but now I do. I admire Lord Zhou's ability to make friends."
Just now he was sitting there counting Zhou Shuren's friends in his mind. After a careful count, he found that Zhou Shuren had friends in all six ministries, and now he had a good relationship with Lord Li as well.
Is Lord Li the one who needs a rare copy? If Lord Li wants one, there are many people who can give it to him. He saw it clearly just now, and Zhou Shuren seemed unwilling to give it to him.
Zhou Shuren knew that the wine today was not tasty. "That's just because Lord Li thinks highly of me. I don't dare to seek friendship with him."
He was tricked by Li Zhao. Li Zhao deliberately placed him near the princes to attract their attention. How could he still be on good terms with them after being tricked like this? Pah!
The King of Qi has had a hard time recently, and it has also implicated my grandfather, making him a little anxious. He really hates Lao Wu and is also suspicious of Lao Wu's power. Zhang Jinghong was not so difficult to deal with before. "Lord Zhou is too modest."
The old fox was clearly covered in fur, but he was stunned and couldn't catch it.
Zhou Shuren looked at the officials sitting at the same table with him. Haha, they were all watching a show!
Zhang Yang turned around and said, "Second brother, why did you go to the other table? They are waiting for you to eat!"
The King of Qi finished his glass of wine and turned around, "If I don't move my chopsticks, you won't move either?"
Zhang Yang found it magical. He had never dared to look his brothers in the eye before, but now he was not afraid. After these experiences, he found that the high-handed Second Brother was nothing. As long as there was enough evidence, he could step on the Second Brother. "Except for the eldest brother, the Crown Prince, the Second Brother is the most senior. Of course, I have to wait for the Second Brother to make a move."
Zhou Shuren drank and grew up like a rocket.
The King of Qi suddenly laughed, "We brothers haven't had a good drink together, and today you're engaged again. Although the wedding date hasn't been set, it's also a happy event. I'll drink first."
The King of Chu and the King of Liang watched the show. They knew the King of Qi better than Zhang Yang did. Today's incident was the work of the King of Qi. It was not just to give Zhang Yang a wife who was useless and annoying. The focus was on the poison in Zhang Yang, and the King of Qi got the upper hand with this handle.
Even if the King of Qi does not take any action, they will take action. Lao Wu should indeed be suppressed. They are frightened by Lao Wu's actions these days.
Zhang Yang's face turned unhappy. He didn't know much about Lord Qi's daughter. He made a special effort to inquire about her and his face turned green. His father's imperial words were decided in the court, so this marriage could not be ruined. He originally wanted to marry a wife who could help him, but now it has become a fantasy.
The King of Qi poured another glass of wine, "This is a toast to you. You have been very caring towards me, and I am grateful. I have specially found a poison expert for you, who will definitely help you solve the problem of having children due to poisoning."
Zhou Shuren saw that many people were choking. Fortunately, he had foresight. Sure enough, the King of Qi was causing trouble. Look at the many officials who changed their faces. Today was really a big drama, with one thing leading to another.
At the same time, Zhou Shuren's eyes widened. It turned out that he was poisoned by a poison that would affect his offspring.
Zhang Yang's face turned completely blue. When he was poisoned, his father suppressed it. Few people knew what kind of poison he had. Looking at the expressions of his brothers, they all knew the answer. "Thank you for your concern, brother. I have already asked a doctor and the poison has been resolved."
The King of Chu didn't believe it. "Old Fifth, don't hold on. Second Brother has a lot of influence and many experts. He might be able to help you get rid of the poison."
Zhang Yang was annoyed. Even if it could really detoxify him, he would not use it. "It really detoxifies."
Zhou Shuren ate the food slowly. How could he recover from the damage done? Zhang Yang might be poisoned again. The more Zhang Yang trusted the people who came close to him, the more dangerous he would be. The power behind Zhang Yang obviously did not want him to have any offspring.
The King of Qi reached his destination and felt relieved. He held the wine glass and said to Zhou Shuren, "Last time I invited Lord Zhou to drink tea, Lord Zhou had something to do. This time, Lord Zhou wants to drink a few more cups with me."
The King of Chu replied, "Lord Zhou, I would like to toast you a few cups as well."
Zhou Shuren cursed in his heart. Several princes had suffered many setbacks at his hands. They were taking this opportunity to get him drunk and get some information out of him!
King Liang narrowed his eyes, "Master Zhou, don't you want to drink?"
Zhou Shuren held the wine glass and said, "I'll drink."
It will be time to show his acting skills. He can still pretend to be drunk, but he cursed Li Zhao in his heart. He was in a difficult situation, and his master Li Zhao did not offer to come up and help him. He remembered it!
