Chapter 1038 Does Anyone Know?

The next morning, Zhou Shuren entered the hall and stretched his neck to take a look at the front seat. He saw that Zhang Jinghong did not look happy as a father at all and his face was as dark as ink.

Zhou Shuren felt that Mr. Xiao in front of him had moved a little, so he could only retract his neck. He didn't want to look any further, he just wanted to confirm. Well, it would be nice if there was a display screen like his wife mentioned. Now he could only guess.

Prince Qi looked at the fifth brother with his remaining eyes. Ever since he left the Qiao family and his last miscarriage was arranged by him, he was sure that there was something wrong with the fifth brother's body. After testing yesterday, he found that the fifth brother was not pretending and his concubine was really pregnant. Regardless of whether the baby was the fifth brother's or not, he believed that it was not the fifth brother's.

King Liang was also looking at the fifth brother, and then glanced at his second brother who was peeking at the fifth brother. The two brothers looked at each other and smiled, thinking that it was better for the fifth brother to have some health problems.

The King of Chu was also thinking about how to make the Fifth Prince hate him without losing the reputation of the royal family.

The emperor arrived, glanced at his sons lying on the ground, and paused at Zhang Yang. He knew that Zhang Yang had no heir. When he first heard the news, he thought it was Zhang Yang who arranged it for him. He felt indescribable at the time, and he could put the blame on himself. Later, when he found out, he felt complicated. Zhang Yang, the chess piece, was really used to the fullest.

Zhang Yang felt his father looking at him, but when he raised his head, his father had already looked away.

After the morning court session ended, Zhou Shuren was dragged away by Lord Xiao by his sleeve. Zhou Shuren was helpless and whispered, "Lord, you can let go now."

Xiao Qing snorted, "I thought you had changed your bad habits, but it seems that you haven't changed your ways completely."

Zhou Shuren rubbed his nose guiltily, "I won't do that again in the future."

Xiao Qing arrived first. He saw the tense situation between the princes. Zhou Shuren dared to watch the show and stretched his neck. "Hmph, hurry up, the Ministry of Revenue has a lot of things to do."

Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "Yes, sir, please go first."

At the Zhou family, Xuemei came to visit her mother and brought a lot of cloth, and also made some clothes to wear at the beginning of the year.

Zhulan looked at the color, "Did you make this for your parents-in-law?"

"Yes, my parents-in-law's clothes were damaged a lot last year. They have gained some weight over the winter. I have nothing to do, so I made some clothes for them."

Zhu Lan saw the needle marks on the girl's fingers, "You just finished with Jiang Sheng, why don't you take a few days off."

Xuemei smiled sweetly, "Mom, making clothes is not tiring, and my daughter is already enjoying it."

Zhulan nodded. She also understood that the daughter-in-law did not rest but found something to do in order to divert her attention. Changzhi and his wife and Jiang Sheng had been gone for a few days, and the daughter-in-law and son-in-law had never been separated. This time they were separated for almost a year, and she was reluctant and missed them.

Xue Han walked in at this time, "My eldest sister is here too."

Xuemei was surprised, "Can you leave the mansion now?"

Xue Han coughed and said, "Then I'll be out for a while and back soon."

Xuemei laughed, "The Marquis' Mansion is also worried about you."

My younger sister is now the golden nugget of the Marquis's Mansion and is extremely treasured.

Zhulan motioned for the young lady to do it and asked, "Why are you here?"

Xue Han spread her hands and said, "My daughter really can't stay in the mansion any longer. Apart from my father-in-law's courtyard, there is nothing in the mansion that I am not familiar with, so I came back to talk to mother for a while."

Xuemei said nothing. Even though they were sisters, her relationship with her younger sister was not that deep. She got married when her younger sister was still very young and lived in her husband's family for many years. Later, she lived closer to her mother. Her father passed the imperial examination and moved away. In addition, her husband was a scholar, and the gap between him and the marquis's family was too big, so she had never visited the marquis's family.

Zhulan knows the young lady very well. "Tell me, what news have you heard?"

Xue Han didn't have much morning sickness during her pregnancy. She only had the symptoms for a few days. She ate well and the baby was quiet. After eating a few fruits, she said, "The Fifth Prince's Mansion was very lively last night. Several princes went there and finally invited the imperial physician."

Zhu Lan regretted not being able to watch the live broadcast, and said insincerely: "There are many rumors about the fifth prince. It is reasonable for the royal family to pay attention to this child."

Xue Han paused while biting the fruit and burst out laughing, "Yes, the royal family does attach great importance to children."

Zhulan asked, "Is Rongchuan still busy now?"

Xue Han didn't hide it from her mother, "I'm not busy anymore."

My husband is venting his anger for me, but he still has some sense of propriety and has stopped interfering.

Ever since Zhulan knew that Rongchuan had come into contact with the Ning family, she guessed that the power of this branch of the Ning Marquis' Mansion would belong to Rongchuan in the future. Even if Rongchuan restored his status, this should be the Ning family's sincerity to the emperor.

Xuemei sat aside, sewing clothes and listening quietly. She understood some of what her mother and sister said but not all. Did she feel disappointed? No, she didn't. She didn't have that much ability so she didn't get involved. She just listened quietly. A quiet life was good.

Xue Han talked for a while before she realized that there was no one in the room. "Mother, isn't Mrs. Song here?"

Zhu Lan nodded, "Yao Xin's child was sick yesterday, and Zhang Jinghong left Beijing and had no way to come to your house. Your father and Zhang Jinghong are both in the Ministry of Revenue, and they have protected him to some extent over the years. Mrs. Song went there yesterday, and we will go to see him again today."

Xue Han, "Zhang Jinghong must be quite capable."

Otherwise, Dad wouldn’t be so protective of you. Dad likes people who are smart, capable, and aware of current affairs.

Zhulan tapped the girl's forehead and said, "Just know it in your heart."

Xue Han laughed and said, "Mom, the fruits at home are sweeter than those in the Marquis' Mansion."

"Then pack more when you leave. These fruits were sent by the Xu family a few days ago."

Xue Han was not polite either, "Okay."

In the afternoon, Mrs. Song came back and said, "The maid who drugged Mr. Zhang was caught in his house."

"You found it?"

Mrs. Song shook her head, "Mrs. Zhang's wife caught it last night, and today she checked the house thoroughly inside and out and found a lot of things."

Zhulan thought that the Zhou family's backyard should be the cleanest. "Is the child okay?"

"My temperature didn't rise last night, and I feel much more energetic today. The doctor checked me out and said the child will be fine after some rest."

Zhulan thought to herself, the Zhou family saved this child, "You have been working hard all day, go back and rest for a while."

"yes."

Mrs. Song did not refuse. She was really tired. She had been busy checking the Zhang family inside and out. What she discovered this time when she went to the Zhang family had to be reported, so she was particularly attentive.

On the streets of the capital, a minister who had retired from the King of Liang came out with an unwilling look on his face. He thought of all the ministers of the previous dynasty he could think of, but after asking them, he got no clues. The King of Liang was inevitably a little annoyed.

The carriage had just been moving for a while when it suddenly stopped. King Liang asked in a bad tone, "What happened?"

The guard said, "In front of us is the Yaohou Mansion. There is a banquet at the Yaohou Mansion today. It seems that the banquet has just ended. The entrance of the mansion is full of carriages from various mansions, and the carriages are blocking the road."

Upon hearing this, the King of Liang opened the carriage curtain. The officials and their wives were coming out one after another, so the carriages were crowded together. The King of Liang's eyes fell on the Yaohou Mansion, "This Yao family is a century-old family in the capital."
