Chapter 1833 Disaster

In the end, there was no surprise. Changzhong kept a cold face. Even if they were thick-skinned, several scholars could not stay there. Not to mention Zhou Hou Mansion, they still had to stay in the Hanlin Academy. Zhou Changzhi's reputation was still loud!

The Zhuo family in the capital city attracted everyone's attention. Without the title of Duke, the Zhuo family moved into a house of good status. Even though the decoration was low-key, they still couldn't escape the calculating eyes.

Zhulan went to the college, she thought she would meet Zoya, but she didn't.

Zhulan couldn't help but ask, "Hasn't Zoya been here?"

Jiang Ling said: "Zhuo Ya has never come to the academy since the incident at Zhuo's family."

Zhulan doesn't believe that the Zhuo family will let Zoya go. Now the Zhuo family doesn't have many trump cards, and Zoya's reputation will become a life-saving card. She wonders if Zoya can withstand the pressure.

Soon Zhulan stopped thinking about it. Zoya had little to do with her.

Zhulan was more concerned about the roster in her hand. "There are already five classes?"

Jiang Ling, "Since we changed the textbooks, more and more female students have come to study here. We have people signing up every day."

Zhulan flipped through the directory. The girls who came here specifically to learn knowledge were all relatively young. She touched the cover of the directory and said, "I'm very happy."

These children are the foundation of the future women's college and the source of her confidence.

Jiang Ling smiled brightly, "I like to see children become dazzling beings..."

The girls' college was well run, and the thinking of the first children who enrolled there changed greatly. Even some parents realized that girls could be relied upon just as much as boys, and the status of girls in nearby families improved a lot.

Zhulan stayed in the academy for almost a day. She didn't come to the academy so often now. After Jiang Ling got married, she gave up a lot of power. She was waiting for Shao Ting to get married. Then, with Shao Ting coming back and forth to the academy, she could be more relaxed.

On the way back to the city, Zhulan was still thinking about Minghui's wedding date. Minghui was already quite old, so the two of them discussed the wedding date and set it after next spring.

Zhulan had a smile on her face as she informed the Wei family. Due to the relationship between the eldest son of the Wei family and the navy, Changzhong's wedding date would have to be discussed later.

The carriage stopped and Qingxue asked, "What happened?"

The driver lowered his voice and said, "Several carriages in front have overturned."

Upon hearing this, Zhulan signaled Qingxue to go and take a look. They saw that the carriages that were about to enter the city had overturned, and several carriages at the same time!

Qingxue came back quickly, "The Zhuo family sent a carriage to pick up Zhuo Ya."

Zhulan still misses Zoya today, "Who picked her up?"

If no one answers, Zoya won’t come back on her own.

Qingxue replied, "Zoya's mother and sister-in-law."

Zhulan narrowed her eyes, "Zhuoya's sister-in-law?"

If I remember correctly, she is the daughter of Earl Ye!

As they were close to the city gate, many gate guards quickly dealt with the carriage. Zhulan got the news that Zhuoguyu's wife had a miscarriage and his mother also injured her leg. Zhuoya was lucky and only suffered minor injuries, but she would be blamed if she suffered minor injuries at this time!

Zhulan felt heavy in her heart. He attacked a woman, especially a pregnant woman. His bottom line was really low.

In the evening, Zhulan asked, "When will the results come out?"

Zhou Shuren, "We have to wait a little longer."

Zhou Shuren thought his wife was worried about Mingyun, so he told her more about Mingyun's situation. Mingyun had support from Marquis Zhou's Mansion and had just been transferred there, so it would not be easy for Mingyun to be implicated. The aristocratic family was afraid that if they offended Marquis Zhou's Mansion, they would not be able to handle it.

The relationship network of Zhouhou Mansion is now mature, and they are all clear-headed allies. If you calculate carefully, the power is terrifying, not to mention the son-in-law, the King of Qin.

Zhu Lan talked about the misfortune that happened to the women of the Zhuo family today. "They attacked the women. Is this a warning because they are being pushed into a corner?"

Zhou Shuren looked at him with disdain, "What a despicable move."

Zhu Lan added: "I wonder how Earl Ye will react?"

Zhuo Guyu has been married for quite some time and finally got the good news, but this time the child is gone. Why did they target the eldest wife of the Zhuo family? It is obvious that the Zhuo family is now supported by Zhuo Guyu!

Zhou Shuren said quietly, "You should know that the Ye family has never said anything, but the meaning is already very clear."

Zhulan was silent. The Zhuo family's loss of the title meant that Madam Zhuo Guyu was abandoned by her natal family, and there would be no response to this incident.

The next day, Changzhong and Changzhi arrived at the Hanlin Academy on time. As soon as they entered the Hanlin Academy, they saw Zhuo Guyu. They were not surprised to see Zhuo Guyu. The more trouble happened to the Zhuo family, the more stable Zhuo Guyu had to be.

But there was a clear blue tint under Zhuoguyu's eyes, which showed that he had not rested well.

Zhuo Guyu greeted him and said, "I have met Lord Zhou."

Changzhong also had to pay a visit, and Zhuoguyu stayed in the Hanlin Academy and was promoted to a higher position.

Chang Zhi had no intention of talking, so he nodded and left with his younger brother, leaving only his back to Zhuo Guyu.

Zhuo Guyu was in a daze. He had seen his wife sitting alone in the study last night. He was really tired but had to hold on. He was the only official in the family. If he relaxed a little, what awaited the Zhuo family would be an abyss.

Zhuo Guyu clenched his palms. Recently, many people came to the Zhuo family to propose marriage. They didn't value the daughter of the Zhuo family, but the dowry of the daughter of the Zhuo family. What kind of people are those who come to the mansion to propose marriage? Either they are idle playboys, or they are bastards who are raised as useless children in the family, and they are obviously eyeing the money of the Zhuo family.

Zhuo Guyu pursed his lips. He was very envious of Gu Sheng. He saw Gu Sheng a few days ago. Gu Sheng was having tea with Lord Anhe. Gu Sheng had no worries about his future. He was too envious. If he and Lord Anhe were engaged, the Zhuo family would not have fallen into its current situation.

Zhuo Guyu pulled the corners of his mouth into a bitter smile, he couldn't even get close to Gu Sheng now. He heard that the future prince consort was very protective of his friend Gu Sheng, and he heard that Gu Sheng was a guest of honor for many people!

At Marquis Zhou's mansion, Zhulan became concerned about the Zhuo family because of the misfortune that happened to the Zhuo family yesterday. She knew that she could get the answer by asking Zhao and Su Xuan.

Zhao said, "Mother, the Zhuo family is having a hard time. The girls in their family don't dare to go out."

Su Xuan continued, "I'm afraid I'll lose my reputation if I go out, and end up having to get married."

Bamboo orchid, "."

Zhao added: "Those who went to the Zhuo family to propose marriage have torn off their own fig leaves. Some of them are just waiting for the Zhuo family to lose and then take action."

Su Xuan whispered, "Recently, the Zhuo family has sold a lot of shops and land. I bought a lot for Yuwen to add to her dowry."

Zhao also stretched out her hand, "I bought one for Yudie, too."

Zhulan said: "The price must not be high!"

Zhao nodded, "Yes, they are all below the market price."

They knew they didn't buy too much, and only bought after seeing many people buying.

Su Xuan sneered, "The Zhuo family did this on purpose to buy themselves some time."

Zhao curled her lips. The Zhuo family's actions did appease some people, but they also whetted the appetites of many people. She also sighed that the Zhuo family had no choice. When the wall fell, everyone pushed it. Now it all depended on whether the Zhuo family would fall completely.

Zhulan looked at the expressions of her two daughters-in-law and felt that the Zhuo family really did not welcome them.

Li suddenly spoke up, "Mother, when the Zheng family's daughter gets married, what gift should we give her?"

The two families didn't interact much, and except on important holidays, they never exchanged gifts. She was unsure how much to give as a gift.

Zhulan counted the days, "Time flies so fast, the Queen's anniversary is coming."
