Chapter 1033 He is the one I can’t leave

The weak countries opened their eyes wide, while the maritime powers' faces changed. This time it was an upgraded ship, and the upgrade in a short time clearly demonstrated the country's strength.

Chang Yi narrowed his eyes and said, "This must be the sense of pride my father talked about."

Wu Ming looked at the foreign merchant ships and said, "It's not enough. This will only shock the nearby countries."

Chang Yi laughed, "You can't become fat in one go. My father said that everything should be done step by step."

Since he joined the Ministry of Rites, he talked to his father more often. Unlike before, he didn't dare to disturb his father. He envied Chang Lian for being able to find his father at any time. Now that he can do the same, he realized that many of his father's words, although seemingly simple, are actually famous sayings.

Wu Ming held the railing and said, "So godfather has to stay in the Ministry of Revenue."

Chang Yi, "......."

In order to get more money, his father calculated every penny and even detailed many procedures of the Ministry of Revenue. This man is so evil that he actually wants his father to stay in the Ministry of Revenue forever!

Zhang Jinghong walked over and heard these words, his mouth twitching. He didn't know what Mr. Zhou's future would be like, he only knew that he couldn't leave the Ministry of Accounts and would stay there for the rest of his life.

In the capital, Zhulan went to Ninghou Mansion. She personally brought some pickles made by Li for her daughter-in-law. These were made by Li some time ago. Li felt that the pickles made by the cook were not tasty this time, so she insisted on making them herself, and thus made some for Xuehan.

Xue Han went to her mother and smelled it, "Hmm, this smell is made by my sister-in-law."

"You can smell this?"

She couldn't smell any difference between the food cooked by the chef and the one cooked by the chef, but she could taste it and it was indeed delicious.

It was just that Li was pregnant, so she didn't ask her to do more. It was her selfish desire to bring more food for the pregnant Xue Han. It didn't matter if it was for the whole family, but there were too many masters in the Zhou family, and no matter how much food was cooked, it would not be enough.

Xue Han chuckled, "Of course I didn't smell it. Rongchuan met my elder brother and told me about it. I calculated when the day would be. If mother didn't come today, I would have asked the maid to go back and get it."

Zhu Lan laughed, "If you don't come out of the Marquis' Mansion, Rong Chuan won't go back either."

Xue Han touched her belly, which was not bulging. "He is worried about me. Whenever he comes back, he never takes his eyes off me. He won't let me do anything, as if I am glass that is easily broken. Mom, I have no freedom."

Zhulan patted her lady's hand, "I understand, I've experienced this myself."

When Xue Han thought of her mother carrying her younger brother, she smiled and said, “Dad loves Mom.”

Zhulan came in and saw the finished clothes, "Did you make them for your child?"

"It's not me. It was sent by Yu. She came to see me yesterday."

Zhulan took the dress, turned it over and looked at the stitches. "This is really good needlework. There are not a single stitch left."

Xue Han motioned for the maids and servants to leave and whispered, "After my father-in-law found out, he specially sent a servant over. In fact, Shui has already checked it out, but Rongchuan and my father-in-law are still worried."

Zhulan, "Is the Marquis afraid that Yu has evil intentions?"

Xue Han took the clothes from her mother's hand and handed her some fruit. "Yu is a little cunning, but she doesn't dare to do that. She's not that stupid. My father-in-law is afraid that someone will use Yu to create conflicts. If the second and third branches of the Ning family split, it will be a blow to the Ning family."

Zhulan looked at the lady talking eloquently and said, "After hearing what you said, I have nothing to worry about you anymore."

Xue Han responded and said coquettishly, "Mom, I still need your support."

Zhulan thought to herself, she is still young, and in a few years, she won’t be able to act coquettishly anymore.

In the afternoon, Zhulan came home and changed her clothes. "Boss, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Boss Zhou helped his mother sit down, "Mom, at noon, Rongchuan and I had lunch together, and he told me something about Shi Qing."

Zhulan was surprised, "How did you and Rongchuan meet?"

Shouldn't Rongchuan be in the Hanlin Academy? Why did he go out at noon?

Boss Zhou couldn't help but laugh, "Rongchuan took advantage of the lunch break to buy a gift for his sister, saying that he wanted to learn to surprise like his father."

Zhulan is thick-skinned enough that the boss said she wouldn't even blush. "And then you guys had dinner together?"

"Well, during the chat, Rongchuan said that he found out about Shi Qing, and that Shi Qing was drinking a medicinal soup to nourish her body."

Zhu Lan was not surprised that Rong Chuan would find out. Shi Qing followed Zhang Yang, so it was normal for him to find out about Shi Qing. "Is Shi Qing sick?"

Boss Zhou replied, "At first Rongchuan thought it was for Shi Qing's son, An'er, but later he found out that Shi Qing drank it himself, but Shi Qing didn't seem to be feeling unwell."

Zhulan suddenly thought that Shi Qing was someone Zhang Yang trusted and they had eaten together quite a lot. Could Shi Qing also be poisoned? The more she thought about it, the more this was possible. But it wasn't right. Zhang Yang was poisoned in the Prince of Liang's mansion at the time, and Shi Qing didn't go with him. Zhulan couldn't help but assume that if Shi Qing was also poisoned, then it meant that Zhang Yang was poisoned again!

So all she needs to know is whether Shi Qing was poisoned. Once proven, her guess will be valid!

Seeing his mother's expression change, Zhou Laoda asked, "Mom, what did you think of?"

Zhulan did not hide it from the eldest brother. He has been able to take on responsibilities in recent years. Sooner or later, they will have to separate from the family. In order to prepare him for the problem, she consciously let him train his mind.

Boss Zhou opened his mouth wide and stammered, "Mom, mom, if your guess is true, Shi Qing will also have difficulty in having children?"

Zhulan hummed.

Boss Zhou responded, "Didn't the Fifth Prince say that the poison had been cured? Why didn't Shi Qing ask the Fifth Prince for help, but drank the tonic secretly? If Rong Chuan hadn't discovered it, no one would have known."

Zhu Lan stroked her chin and said, "It can only be explained that there is no antidote for this poison, and the damage caused is difficult to recover from, so he did not ask the Fifth Prince for help."

This guess is the most reasonable one. Regardless of whether Shi Qing is the emperor's sword or not, for the sake of future generations, Shi Qing will ask Zhang Yang for help, and Zhang Yang will naturally not refuse out of loyalty.

Zhulan felt that her guess was the truth. Not only was Zhang Yang's poison not cured, but he was poisoned again. It turned out that it was difficult to have offspring, but there was still hope. He was poisoned again. Haha, this time he should have no offspring.

Zhou was stunned for a long time. This news was too shocking. "Mom, this is just a guess!"

"Only the parties involved know the truth. Okay, keep it to yourself and don't say a word to anyone."

Zhou Lao Da was timid. Of course he didn't dare to say anything. He was probably the least timid in the family. He couldn't help but look at his mother. His mother still looked normal, as if what she just said was not a big deal. Zhou Lao Da knew that since the second son joined the Ministry of Rites, his mother would tell him many things in detail. His mother was training him.

Boss Zhou slapped his face and said, "He is the eldest brother, he is the eldest brother." He repeated it to himself several times and felt less panicked.

Zhulan had been observing the eldest brother and was very satisfied with his recovery speed. When she saw Mrs. Song coming back, she knew in her heart that Mrs. Song had deliberately taken the maids away. This was also a tacit understanding they had developed. Mrs. Song listened to what she should listen to and knew what she shouldn't listen to. She knew how to grasp the measure.
