"Grandfather, could you lend me ten thousand taels of silver? Don't worry, my father will definitely pay you back," Xu Qingshi said confidently.
At that moment, Xu Heming, who was at the Zhou family's house, sneezed loudly.
"Prince An, are you perhaps ill? Please don't let your illness affect my master!" said Eunuch Liu in alarm.
"I'm not sick!" Xu Heming said with some dissatisfaction, but in his heart he was thinking, could it be that someone is cursing him?
"Your Highness Prince An!" Zhou Zhonghe, who had rushed back, called out before he even entered the house.
"Oh, your real boss is finally back." Zhu Jingchen was also very curious about how Zhou Zhonghe would handle things.
Also present was Fang Deyou from the Dali Temple.
Fang Deyue looked at the Zhou family with some curiosity. If he remembered correctly, the eunuch who had just spoken to him was from the imperial palace.
But this week, Lord Zhou only mentioned Prince An.
Could it be that something has gone wrong in the Zhou family that requires Prince An to clean up?
After all, Prince An is the son-in-law of the Zhou family. Although the former Princess An is no longer alive, she still gave birth to Prince An's heir. The two families are inseparable by marriage.
"Father, he didn't call you," Zhu Hanyu said, somewhat puzzled.
After all, wasn't his father more powerful than Prince An?
Why does that old man only call himself Prince An?
"Prince An, I have failed to greet you properly! I have failed to greet you properly!" Zhou Zhonghe said as he ran.
You see, their son-in-law hasn't visited the Zhou family for several years.
Zhou Zhonghe was a little uneasy about Xu Heming's sudden visit, wondering why he had come to their Zhou family.
"Lord Zhou, you certainly have a lot on your plate," Xu Heming said sarcastically.
"You flatter me, Prince An. I don't know Your Highness... Your Majesty!" Zhou Zhonghe was about to exchange a few pleasantries with Xu Heming when he saw Zhu Jingchen, who was sitting to the side, kneel down in terror.
"Father, what nonsense are you talking about? Where is the Emperor?" Zhou Changfeng was so frightened that he knelt down. He thought his father must have run too close. Why didn't he see the Emperor?
"You bastard, kneel down right now!" Zhou Zhonghe's expression was not good.
On his way back, he had already heard the servant talk about the situation in the mansion. Originally, Prince An was troublesome enough, but now, the Emperor is here too.
If he can't give a reasonable explanation for this, the Zhou family might be finished.
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhonghe was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, and without Zhu Jingchen's instructions, he dared not move an inch.
"Old man, what emperor?" Madam Zhou, who was sitting to the side, asked with some displeasure upon hearing this.
After all, if the person before her was the Emperor, then what she had said to him earlier...
Madam Zhou then looked at Zhu Hanyu beside her. If this man was the emperor, then wouldn't his son be a prince?
Thinking of this, Old Madam Zhou felt her heart tremble.
Did she insult the emperor and the princes?
Thinking of this, Old Madam Zhou shook her head repeatedly, thinking it couldn't be true.
"Your Majesty, this humble subject pays his respects! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!" Fang Deyue quickly bowed upon recognizing Zhu Jingchen.
Upon hearing this, Madam Zhou panicked instantly.
Is this person really the emperor?
After all, she didn't know the Emperor, but she did know the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, and now even Lord Fang was saying that this person was the Emperor!
