Outside the palace, Ran Zheng climbed into his carriage and sat there motionless. He was unwilling to accept this. He had not yet avenged his son, and he was unwilling to be plotted against. He closed his eyes and lay down in the carriage. Only by closing his eyes could he hide the emotions in his eyes.
After Zhou Shuren met Ran Zheng, he stopped caring about it and the rest was none of his business.
In the academy, Ming Teng was in a depressed mood. He was really worried that Ran Xun didn't come to the academy. The servant went to Ran's house to ask about it, and Ran Xun just told him to take care of himself.
Ming Teng was worried about the Ran family and grabbed his hair in annoyance. Ran Xun was his brother and Ran Wan was his future sister-in-law. Even though his eldest brother looked cold all day long, he was his younger brother and knew that his eldest brother was not at peace, so he was very honest, and even Minghui was honest.
Not to mention my parents, my mother has the loudest voice. I didn’t dare to breathe loudly in front of my eldest brother these past two days. “Annoying.”
Jiang Du witnessed cruelty for the first time. The Ran family seemed far away in his eyes, but they were tall and tall, like a big tree that was about to fall. "Cousin, can you stop sighing?"
He sighed, feeling upset.
Ming Teng felt that his cousin's temper was getting worse and worse, and he never thought that it was his fault.
Dong Zhan read the book silently. Didn't the Dong family also change overnight? It's just that the Dong family retired on their own, and the Dong family also had the Zhou family as a marriage partner. His aunt was in the Zhou family, so he could go to Beijing to study. Touching the book, all he could grasp was reading, and he calmed down and continued to read.
At the Ran Mansion, Ran Wan already knew that her father had injured his arm. She had just fed her mother some medicine, then left the maid behind her and sat alone behind the rockery crying. She wanted to make herself stronger, but she really couldn't help it.
When Ran Wan had almost finished crying, she looked up and saw the handkerchief, "You were here all along?"
Ran Xun sat next to Ran Wan, "Well, I was on the rockery just now, cry, you will feel better if you cry."
In the past two days, he felt distressed when he looked at Ran Wan. The little girl had to take care of her second aunt and endure the panic.
Ran Wan's nose was red. "My dad will be fine, right?"
Ran Xun nodded heavily, "Yes, Second Uncle must be fine, Grandpa must have a way. I overheard Grandpa and Grandma talking about it. Lord Zhou also helped. Ming Teng said that his grandfather is very powerful. Grandpa said that he mentioned Lord Zhou many times, so there must be a way."
Ran Wan's eyes widened. She didn't know this. She had to take care of her mother and grandmother, and her grandfather wouldn't say much to her. It turned out that the Zhou family also helped. "The Zhou family is good."
Ran Xun nodded, "Yeah."
Ran Wan hooked her fingers with both hands, "When do you think my dad will be able to come out?"
Ran Xun knew that Ran Wan just wanted to gain confidence, so he said firmly: "It will definitely come out, and soon."
As soon as the voice fell, Ran Wan and Ran Xun's maid ran over, "The master is back, and the master said that the second master will be able to return home soon."
Ran Wan stood up suddenly and sat down on the ground again. Her legs were numb from squatting for too long. She didn't care about the pain at all and asked the girl who was supporting her, "Are you telling the truth?"
The girl nodded heavily, "It's true, the news came from the main courtyard."
Ran Wan finally smiled, "Hurry, let's go back to the yard."
Ran Xun touched his mouth and asked, "My mouth is so clever?"
Inside the palace, the emperor knew that Ran Zheng had come into the palace after meeting Zhou Shuren, and he said to Eunuch Liu, "I said this old fox is the one who knows life the most. He knows life too well."
Eunuch Liu replied carefully, "Lord Zhou has no ambitions, he just wants to live a better life."
The emperor knew, "If everyone lived as clearly as Zhou Shuren, I would be much more relaxed. They want too much."
Eunuch Liu felt that it was so precious that Lord Zhou lived such a clear life. Everyone has desires, and he has them too. Now that most of his body is in the grave, he has let go.
But Lord Zhou always knows what he wants and what he cannot touch.
Eunuch Liu just remembered that he had something to report, "Your Majesty, the Empress has punished the Imperial Concubine again."
The Emperor waved his hand to signal Eunuch Liu to leave. He was not going to take care of the harem anymore. Let the Queen do whatever she wants. She has endured enough over the years.
Eunuch Liu withdrew, and the emperor no longer went to the harem, but he was still indulgent to the queen in his heart.
Ran Lei returned to the Ran Mansion, and the news of Ran Zheng's retirement spread.
Ministry of Revenue, Wang Ju sighed after hearing this, "Lord Ran is really decisive."
Zhou Shuren, "Yeah."
Wang Ju said again: "What a pity, what a pity."
Zhou Shuren didn't feel it was a pity. Ran Zheng stepped down in exchange for a bright future for his two sons. Maybe even Ran Yan would be compensated. When the prince ascended the throne, he would confer titles on the harem.
He also learned a lot from Ran Zheng, and sometimes you have to make a decision without hesitation.
Wang Ju asked, "Your reaction is too bland."
"I was clapping excitedly?"
Wang Ju shuddered, feeling that it was eye-irritating just thinking about it, "Anyway, the problem has been solved, and you can rest assured."
Zhou Shuren pointed to the ground and said, "You want to feel safe in the capital? Don't dream."
Wang Ju, “… … .”
When the King of Qi heard the news, he sat quietly. They were struggling, but in the end, his father was the biggest winner. The King of Qi was thinking about his grandfather's words. His grandfather said that his enemy had never been the prince, but his father was his biggest enemy.
The prince is stable because of the support of his father. He and his brothers are all under his father's control and have never jumped out.
The Prince of Qi was unwilling to accept this, even though he knew that his father was partial to the Crown Prince and the Queen. The Queen's actions in the harem were all tacitly approved by his father. The Imperial Concubine had looked for him, and Concubine Qi had also looked for him, but they were both rejected!
The King of Chu had the ugliest expression when he received the news. The only consolation he got was that Ran Zheng retired, which was considered a good gain.
King Liang was also unhappy. The situation could have been more chaotic, and he was ready to take action today. However, the damn Ran Lei was released, and he wasted the opportunity in vain.
King Liang pursed his lips. Ran Zheng went into the palace as soon as he saw Zhou Shuren. It was possible that Zhou Shuren gave Ran Zheng the idea. It was really a nuisance. The last opportunity was such a pity. The old man was too cautious and actually let the son of a civil servant practice martial arts.
Zhang Yang thought for a while before accepting that Ran Lei was fine. The evidence was complete and Ran Lei was wrongly accused. His plan was finally shattered
At Zhou's house, Zhulan also got the news. Li kept chanting, "Mother, it's useful that I secretly wrote scriptures these days."
Zhulan, "Have you been writing scriptures these days?"
Li laughed dryly, "Yes, I have been copying it during the day."
Zhulan rubbed her forehead and asked, "Are you sure you copied the scripture correctly?"
Li froze. She only copied what she was used to. Li didn't dare to say anything. "It seems to be useless. Fortunately, it's useless."
This time she didn't dare to take credit.
Zhu Lan said angrily: "I see you have become stupid since you got pregnant. People say that pregnancy makes a woman stupid for three years, and I have confirmed it with you."
Li silently counted some of the stupid things she had done after getting pregnant. This time was the most obvious. Then she asked, "Mom, who told you that pregnancy makes you stupid for three years?"
Zhu Lan, "... Is this the point? The point is that you must not mention the scriptures in front of the Ran family."
Li bowed her head and admitted her mistake, not paying attention to her mother-in-law's words, "Mother, I will definitely not tell."
