Zhou Beichen: “…”
Helplessly holding his forehead, he knew that this girl must be wrong.
Zhou Beichen got angry and slammed the table hard.
"Even if he is the emperor, you have to surpass him and become the empress."
He absolutely could not allow the daughter he had raised since childhood to be controlled by others.
Zhou Zhaonuan: “…”
She almost rolled her eyes at Zhou Beichen. What kind of good father was he? He only allowed the officials to set fires but not the common people to light lamps. However, Zhou Zhaonuan also understood that Zhou Beichen was really doing this for her own good.
The little girl looked very touched and was about to act coquettishly, but Zhou Beichen frowned and threw a book from the table into her arms.
"So, what are you still standing here for? Go read a book, the more the better."
"But, Daddy, Nuannuan is going to read. What about Mommy?"
Zhou Zhaonuan, who was standing there with the book in her arms, blinked. The little girl looked reluctant. How could she continue reading when her father asked her to?
"Daddy is good at making things difficult for people."
The little girl was being sarcastic, and Zhou Beichen slammed the table again, "I'm making things difficult for you? You little bastard, this is for your own good, don't you know? Go quickly, don't you still have me at your mother's place?"
Zhou Beichen glanced at her sideways and continued to urge her. Zhou Zhaonuan moved her feet, obviously not wanting to leave. When she spoke again, her voice was a little low and soft.
"Daddy is always bullying. He knew Mom was injured, but he still forced Nuannuan to read. How could Nuannuan read at this time?"
Zhou Beichen knew what she was thinking, and said nothing else but quietly.
"Nuannuan, since ancient times, those who achieve great things must be self-disciplined, cautious, and honest. I've told you this countless times. Reading and learning to read were something you wanted to learn, not something I forced you to learn. Besides, you never learned to read by reading to me."
"Besides, your mother's injury can't be healed by you watching over her all the time. If you have this time, why don't you improve yourself and make your mother proud of you, right?"
Zhou Zhaonuan: “…”
Why is Daddy always like this? The little girl knew she was in the wrong, so she walked away dejectedly, holding her book.
Zhou Beichen straightened up with satisfaction and walked towards Shen Nian'an's room. After hearing what the man said, Shen Nian'an couldn't help laughing.
"ah......"
However, the consequence was that Shen Nian'an frowned, but with a laugh, her face turned a little paler than before due to the pain.
His handsome face was full of worry, and Zhou Beichen couldn't help but scold him.
"An An, if I had known you would laugh out loud, I would have simply not said anything. Look at you, you're in pain."
After relieving the pain, Shen Nian'an still smiled.
"I'm fine, it's just a small wound, it's not that serious."
She was joking, but unexpectedly, Zhou Beichen's expression suddenly changed.
"What do you mean by a small wound? An An, you lost a lot of blood. I was... so scared. I was afraid you would never wake up again."
Zhou Beichen still felt palpitations when he thought about it, and his eyebrows were knitted together.
"I'm awake now, it's okay, our Nuannuan is okay, and you're okay too, it's great."
When Shen Nian'an said this, her heart was truer than gold, not for anything else, but because, because of the two children, she had already been tied to Zhou Beichen. If one of the four of them was missing, it would not be good for anyone.
Zhou Beichen smiled, said nothing, picked up the handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat off the man. Feelings were not a momentary impulse, but a long-lasting companion. Shen Nian'an's heart was soft. At this moment, the man in front of her served her tea and water, and served her with great care, which made Shen Nian'an feel uneasy.
She closed her eyes and thought silently, if he was not the emperor, if she had not been sent to the cold palace in the beginning, then it would not be bad to live like this forever.
The Prime Minister's Mansion in the capital.
Prime Minister Li walked out of the study and went directly to an extremely hidden room. The doors and windows were nailed tightly, and not even a fly could fly out. Prime Minister Li walked to the door and said to the guard at the door.
"Open the door."
With a "click", the door lock slid off, and Prime Minister Li strode in. Seeing the intact food on the ground, Prime Minister Li's face suddenly changed, and he became sinister and cruel. He stepped forward, grabbed Du Ruolan's wrist, and strangled her hard.
"Du Ruolan, tell me, what do you want to do? I gave you this meal, why don't you eat it? Do you want to starve yourself to death?"
Seeing Du Ruolan's hateful eyes, Prime Minister Li changed the subject and laughed.
"Or do you think that, at this point, you still hold an extremely important position in my heart, that I can let you do whatever you want in my Prime Minister's Mansion and that I will relent and let you go?"
Du Ruolan glared at him, but Prime Minister Li didn't get angry. "Alright, Du Ruolan, I've figured it out these past few days. You've been saying all those things to make me understand that I'm relying on Zhou Beichen to get to where I am today, so that I can be loyal to him. And what about what you said the other day? Tell me, are you guessing what I've done? What exactly do you want to do? Tell me, did you come back this time to find out something, and then secretly pass it on so that Zhou Beichen can wipe out my Prime Minister's Mansion in one fell swoop?"
By the end of the conversation, Prime Minister Li was gritting his teeth, and was very disappointed with his friend.
"Du Ruolan, Du Ruolan, you said you've been married to me for several years and we already have three children, but why don't you understand that when the nest is overturned, all the eggs will remain intact? Even if Prime Minister Li falls, do you think you, the Prime Minister's wife, will have an easier time?"
Prime Minister Li's tone was already a little sad.
Du Ruolan raised her eyes, her clear eyes seemed to stare into Prime Minister Li's heart. She had been married to him for many years, and at this moment she really wanted to see through this man.
Prime Minister Li felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by her. He felt uneasy all over and avoided her gaze for a moment.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Du Ruolan, aren't you afraid that I'll dig out your eyes?"
Prime Minister Li said this ferociously.
This time when she came back, Du Ruolan was prepared to die. Although she appeared calm on the surface, she was even more calm inside.
She sneered, "What do I want to do? I only came back because I feel sorry for you. You originally relied on my Du family to make your fortune, and now you are the Prime Minister. What, Prime Minister Li, do you really want to imprison your wife? The emperor is wise and powerful, and he is at the peak of his power. Who do you think you are? With your brain, would you rebel? Do you dare to rebel? Besides, what is there about you that is worth me finding out and spreading? If it weren't for marrying you, my three children might not be more stupid than the other."
Hearing this, Prime Minister Li was full of dissatisfaction. He let go of Du Ruolan's arm in disgust and threw her to the ground.
