Chapter 1661 Tears

Ming Teng came out of the study after hearing the news. When he entered the room, his wife and mother-in-law were teasing their son. "Mother-in-law."

Seeing her son-in-law's thin figure, Ma said, "I've been thinking about you guys, so I came to see you."

Her son-in-law became a marquis, and her daughter became a marquis's wife. When she came to the mansion after the imperial decree, her son-in-law was not so thin yet. She felt deeply moved by Mingteng's loyalty and was happy about it.

Ming Teng reached out and took his son in his arms. "How is your family doing lately?"

Ma smiled and said, "All good."

She had long since handed the household over to her eldest daughter-in-law, and visited her grandchildren every day. Apart from worrying about her husband who was working away from home, life at home was pretty good.

Liu Jia continued, "We closed the house, and someone sent invitations to my eldest and second brothers, but they both declined."

This is also the reason why my mother came here.

Ming Teng thought that this was because he knew that the son of Marquis Zhou was not easy to deal with, so he set his sights on his uncle, and said to his mother-in-law, "Don't pay any attention to him."

Ma had just heard from her daughter, and now she was more confident after hearing from her son-in-law, "It's getting late, I'm going back first, you guys take care of yourselves."

Ming Teng said, "I'll take my mother-in-law home."

Ma waved her hand, "No need."

She was afraid that her son-in-law would catch a cold because he was too thin now.

Liu Jia stood up to see her mother out. After Ma walked out of the yard, she suddenly asked, "Have you always lived here?"

Liu Jia said: "We will observe mourning at Rong'an Marquis' Mansion for a year, and then we will return to Zhou Marquis' Mansion after a year."

Ma smiled and said, "Just go back."

She hoped that her daughter could live on her own, but recently she had heard her son say that someone was eyeing her son-in-law, so she thought it would be better for her to go back home.

Liu Jia held her mother's hand and said, "Mom, my husband won't take a concubine."

She knew that her mother was worried that her husband's surname was Rong and that he had no elders to pressure him, and she was afraid that he would not be able to resist their schemes.

Ma said in a low voice: "Everyone is greedy, and so is I. You and your son-in-law are so good, and I hope you will live in harmony for the rest of your life."

Liu Jia, "Mom, don't worry."

In the evening, Zhou Shuren talked with his grandson. He felt relieved when he knew that his grandson would take good care of him. He heard Mingteng say what Ma said, "Your two uncles are good."

Ming Teng, "Grandpa has chosen a good in-law for my grandson."

Not causing him any trouble and being self-aware are helping him.

Ming Teng looked at his grandfather, thought for a moment, and couldn't help but speak, "My grandson had a dream the night that his great grandfather was buried."

Zhou Shuren, "."

Ming Teng looked at the silent grandfather. Why did he copy Buddhist scriptures every day? He did it not only for his great grandfather, but also for the Rong family. "Grandpa, do you want to copy a copy of the scriptures for your grandson?"

Zhou Shuren's heart skipped a beat. "Did the old man tell you this in a dream?"

Ming Teng nodded, "Yeah."

The great grandfather came to him in the dream to say goodbye and reminded him to take good care of himself. Finally, he recited some scriptures and said with some regret that it would be great if the grandfather could copy a copy, because the grandfather was sick and he wanted to do the same in his place.

But when he saw that his grandfather rejected his idea, he felt that his grandfather really wanted him to make a copy.

Zhou Shuren didn't want to ask what he dreamed about, "Okay, I'll copy it for you."

He took over the original body's identity, and he remembered all the kindness his fourth uncle had shown him. He also had to admit that the royal family trusted him so much, not only because of his loyalty and ability, but also because he had the blood of the Rong family. It was because of this that the emperor only had the Rong family as his relative.

Ming Teng felt relieved when he heard his grandfather's agreement. "Thank you, Grandpa."

Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "You should eat more vegetarian food. Your mother often cries in front of your grandmother."

Ming Teng touched his nose and said, "My grandson is unfilial."

Zhou Shuren patted Sun Zi's shoulder and said, "Go back."

Ming Teng, "Well, Grandpa should also go to bed early."

"good."

Time flies. On this morning's court session, Zhou Shuren's face darkened when he heard the urgent memorial sent to the capital. Well, he and his wife had just thought about why Ming Hui was delayed, and now they knew.

The prince looked at Marquis Zhou. He had such an unhappy look on his face. He had no idea what was going on.

The emperor continued, "The pirates are rampant. Do you have anything to say?"

Zhou Shuren glanced at his colleagues in the court. The water thieves in the capital were protected by someone. This time, Minghui encountered thieves who had bypassed the local prefect. The ship merchant handed the person over to the prefect Wu in the next state. This gentleman crossed the state border and wiped out a whole lair of thieves in one fell swoop. This was an achievement, and it also slapped the face of Prefect Wang.

Zhou Shuren thought that the two prefects must have a grudge against each other. As for the names of Minghui and Yu Yueyang appearing in the memorial, it was obvious that Prefect Wu had checked Minghui and Yueyang to see why there were two children with the same names. Prefect Wu deliberately took advantage of the power of Zhou Houfu and Yu's family.

Now that Minghui and Yueyang are involved, he and Lord Yu will have to take care of it.

Zhou Shuren looked up at the emperor. Why did the emperor read out the memorial in court? It was obvious that Prefect Wu's action this time caught the emperor's attention. Prefect Wu was indeed a smart man.

The emperor felt his gaze and looked at Zhou Shuren. The emperor and his subject exchanged glances, and Zhou Shuren stepped out of the group, "I have something to say."

Your Majesty, "Please speak, Lord Zhou."

There was no anger in his tone; it was just very kind.

After he spoke, the hall became even quieter. Having served in the same court for many years, they were really afraid of Zhou Shuren's unconventional behavior.

Zhou Shuren said in a deep voice, "On this ship, there are my grandson and two granddaughters. If my sons and I were not worried about the children's travel and specially arranged many guards, what I heard today would not be Mr. Wu's request for merit, but the news that my grandson and granddaughter had died. Yes, there was also Mr. Yu's second son, who is my future grandson-in-law."

When Lord Yu heard this and felt the gazes directed at him, he just kept a cold face, Marquis Zhou could handle it all!

The other adults spat in their hearts, what loss of life? The pirates would not dare to kill a whole boatload of people. At most they would kill some guards for money. Otherwise, if they really killed a whole boatload of people, there would have been a big commotion long ago. Now is not a time of war.

They all knew what was going on and looked at their colleagues with suspicion, wanting to know who collected the tribute every year.

Your Majesty, "There are endless pirates. We have been encircling and suppressing them year after year but have not been able to eliminate them. I am also very puzzled."

Zhou Shuren's tone was also very puzzled, "Why did they take down the nest point just by handing it over to the prefect next door?"

As he spoke, Zhou Shuren's eyes turned red and his voice choked with sobs, "I am so scared, Your Majesty, I am afraid that my grandchildren will be retaliated. Hey, who told them to bring so many skilled guards? Who knew they would be so mean!"

The prince turned his head to the side and suppressed a smile. Marquis Zhou was too cooperative with his father. He also sighed that after the marquis said it in the hall, no one would dare to displease Zhou Minghui even if Prefect Wu submitted a petition to request merit.

The emperor was a little distracted. When did Marquis Zhou have the ability to shed tears at will? Thinking of the last time Zhou Shuren fainted, the emperor fell strangely silent.

Lord Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He was relieved. At the same time, he thought that only Marquis Zhou would dare to say it bluntly. He did not have the confidence or the face to do so.

After a while, the emperor said, "Don't be afraid, Lord Zhou. I want to see who dares to take action."
