Chapter 1024: Nephew Resembles Uncle
When Zhou Shuren arrived, he did not go into the backyard, but drank tea with Lord Ning in the hall.
Ning Xu looked at Zhou Shuren, who had an expressionless face. This man was protective of his people. She sipped her tea and thought, is this old fox Zhou Shuren really unaware of Rong Chuan?
If it was before, he would not have thought so, but as they came into contact, he had to think more about it. Zhou Shuren lived too clearly, so clearly that he had the illusion that Zhou Shuren might have discovered something.
Zhou Shuren finished the tea in his cup and put it down, "It's better for Lord Hou to be prepared."
Ning Xu's heart tightened, "What do you want to say?"
Zhou Shuren was not prepared to play dumb, "It's not what I want to say, but what Rongchuan wants to do."
He thought over and over again, he was trapped, and the only one who could move freely was Rongchuan. Rongchuan was the most powerful weapon. In the past, Rongchuan was sealed because he took the overall situation into consideration. Even if Rongchuan was plotted against, Rongchuan did not care. But today was different. The young lady was the apple of Rongchuan's eye, and this boy would not let it go like this.
Ning Xu looked at Zhou Shuren. His eyes had shrunk because he had gained weight. When he squinted, it seemed that only a slit remained. "You really understand Rongchuan."
Zhou Shuren smiled, "I raised a child, I know Rongchuan, this child seems to be easy to get along with, but in fact, not many people can win his heart. To be honest, I have never seen this child angry, but I saw it this time, so I remind the Marquis to pay more attention to Rongchuan."
Ning Xu frowned. Zhou Shuren was right. Rong Chuan was really angry this time. However, Ning Xu looked at Zhou Shuren. Did he really not notice anything? Why did he feel that Zhou Shuren seemed to know that Rong Chuan would not be punished if he fought back?
Zhou Shuren continued to pour himself a cup of tea. He reminded Ning Wei that Ning Wei would cooperate better with Rongchuan. Even though Ning Wei was a tiger that had climbed into its den, a beast was still a beast. Ning Wei would finish the work for Rongchuan, and he would just play supporting roles. Only then would Rongchuan have no worries.
The next day, Zhulan did not go to the Marquis's Mansion. She stayed at home writing a post.
Li looked through the invitation and asked, "Mom, are we going to hold a tea party?"
Zhulan rubbed her wrists. She had started writing after breakfast in the morning and had already written quite a bit. "Yeah."
Li looked at the pile of written invitations and felt a little confused. "Mom, are we inviting too many people?"
Zhulan looked at the post she had written and said, "This is only half of it. There is still half to go."
Li's eyes widened. Her family really wanted to hold a banquet, but last year, apart from her parents' birthdays, they had only held two banquets, one for flower viewing and one for painting appreciation. However, not many people were invited, and they were basically only those with whom she had a good relationship.
She had never seen many of the posts this time. "Mom, why did you invite so many people this time?"
This is not my mother's character.
Zhao put the blank post in front of her mother-in-law, "Mom, is it because of my younger sister?"
Zhulan didn't explain and continued writing the post.
Zhao and her mother-in-law have lived together for so many years, so her mother-in-law tacitly accepted it without any explanation. As expected, her younger sister had a miscarriage and her parents were angry. She still remembered that her husband came back last night and said how terrible her father-in-law was.
Zhao was a little panicked. Her mother-in-law was making a big move. She didn't know what would happen or what her mother-in-law was going to do.
Mrs. Li reacted and realized that her younger sister was having a miscarriage. Her mother also told her that she was fine in the morning, but now it seemed that things were not going well. She swallowed her saliva and let go of the note written by her mother-in-law.
Inside the palace, Rongchuan entered the palace. His father had shown him what he had found out this morning. The information pointed to Prince Liang. In fact, it was not the case. It was just a frame-up. The real person was not found, but he was pointed out in the direction. This Zhang Yang was very weird. Prince Qi and Prince Liang were fooled one after another, and Prince Liang even beat Zhang Yang on the spot.
Rongchuan could clearly remember that the prince implicitly reminded him to stay as far away from Zhang Yang as possible.
Rongchuan sat in front of the emperor, not saying a word, just staring at him.
The emperor couldn't stand it anymore, "Do you have something to say to me?"
Rongchuan felt wronged. He remembered his father and grandfather had said that crying children are pitiful. "I just had a nightmare last night and was a little panicked for a while."
Who is the emperor? Then he asked, "What nightmare?"
Of course you have to pamper your own son.
Rong Chuan looked frightened. "I dreamed that a little girl called me daddy, but the girl was covered in blood, and I woke up in shock. Your Majesty, you know how much I love my wife."
The emperor had a toothache, but he endured it. He knew that his youngest son was a live-in son-in-law. "Yes."
"So I am afraid. My wife is my life."
The emperor understood that this boy was preparing him psychologically, meaning to tell him that whoever touches his vitals would be in danger of losing his life. He took out a few pieces of paper from under the table, handed them to Rongchuan, and then continued to look at the folding paper.
Rongchuan opened the paper in confusion, his pupils constricted, and he quickly raised his head to look at the emperor. This was the news reported to the emperor, and now it was given to him. It was much more detailed than what his father gave him. Rongchuan kept thinking in his mind why the emperor treated him like this.
Rong Chuan said without thinking, "My nephew."
Before he said the last word, Rongchuan had come back to his senses. The nephew resembles his uncle. These words had always been in his mind. The paper the emperor gave him said that he was the fifth prince's person. His father had marked it out for him today.
He came here today just to show weakness and did not want to ask for anything, but the emperor simply gave him the news, and his mind was in a mess.
The emperor raised his head. He naturally noticed the doubts of his youngest son after his marriage. The child was not only suspicious. He did not recognize the chaos in the past, but now he understood it more and more clearly. As for the other force, he basically knew who it was.
He thought about it and let it go, but what happened yesterday accelerated the progress.
The prince was not far away. He raised the corner of his mouth and then lowered his head.
Rongchuan walked out of the Zheng Palace in a daze and slapped his face. Bah, he must have thought too much. Then he thought that he thought Zhang Yang was weird, not to mention the emperor. Then he thought that the emperor must have discovered something about Zhang Yang. His pupils constricted. Yes, this must be the case. The emperor did not hide the news from him.
Thinking of this, Rongchuan suddenly felt much more relieved, so he had nothing to worry about.
Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren went to Ninghou Mansion, these were all news. Zhou Shuren seldom had contact with the Ning family. This time he went to Ninghou Mansion as soon as he left the yamen, which attracted attention.
Qiu Yandu asked a lot, and Zhou Shuren was not satisfied. He said that his daughter was pregnant, so he went to take a look.
When Qiu Yan returned home last night, he heard from his wife that something happened in the Prince's Mansion. Thinking of the invitation to the Prince's Mansion, not everyone can go. It is difficult to get an invitation from the Crown Princess. It is not surprising that Zhou Shuren's daughter was invited. His caution tells him that things are not simple.
In the following days, Zhang Yang was extremely worried. Not only Zhang Yang, but also Yao Wenqi. Yao Wenqi had been summoned to the palace for reprimands for three consecutive days, and had to kneel in the cold spring wind for more than an hour.
The Zhou family's tea party also began, and many carriages were parked in front of the Zhou family's door.
