Chapter 1071: I feel panic, please don’t be so nice to him
King Qi smiled, stood up and took the tea box he had just given out, "Since you don't know anything about tea, I will take it back."
Zhou Shuren was a step slower. He didn't know how to drink tea, but he knew that this thing was worth money. He could use it to entertain people. "Your Highness must have a lot of good things. You can give me this."
King Qi held the box in his arms and said, "No, this is what I really need. I have to live frugally."
Zhou Shuren, "......."
There is a big gap between the former rich King Qi and the current King Qi!
The Prince of Qi hugged the box tightly and turned away. He had become obedient. He could not keep some of the previous unknown income and it was time to deal with some of the industries. His father was the emperor and he was his biological son. The crown prince was the emperor and would not tolerate him stealing money. It was different, it was different. He had to clean it up now to avoid trouble in the future.
King Qi thought of his grandfather again. His grandfather really cared about him and had thought of a way out for him. Comparing him with the grandfathers of King Chu and King Liang, the importance of a good grandfather was revealed.
Zhou Shuren stared blankly at King Qi leaving. King Qi definitely had no plan for coming here today. Did he come just to hear people say he was lucky?
In Xuzhou, during Changlian's day off, I took my wife and daughter to the beach. Now that the temperature has risen, the beach is still very comfortable.
Chang Lian watched the two ladies playing. The young lady was held by the maid and touched the sand. "Look at the harbor over there. It's almost finished."
Dong Chuchu, "You will be even busier in the future."
Chang Lian took the fan handed over by the servant and used it to shield his wife from the sun. "Well, have you sent someone to check out the manor that the emperor gifted?"
Dong Chuchu smiled even more brilliantly. Her husband received a reward, a large manor in the south? "I have already sent someone over. They should be back in a few days. With an extra manor, the family can earn a lot of money. By the way, for Dad's birthday this year, should we exchange gifts?"
Chang Lian also had this plan, "I would have mentioned it even if you hadn't mentioned it. You know how I achieved my achievements, it's all because of Dad. But this gift is not easy to choose, we have to think carefully."
Dong Chuchu nodded and kept it in mind. When she heard the child crying, she ran over quickly. The girl was panicked.
When the couple ran over, they were shocked to find that the little girl's palm was pinched by the crab. Fortunately, the crab was very small and did not cause much damage.
Dong Chuchu held the little girl in her arms, "Okay, don't cry? Don't cry."
Yuyi was scared and held her father's hand, "Sister, grab the sand. We didn't see any crabs in the sand."
Chang Lian picked up Yu Yi and said, "Daddy knows. You should be more careful next time."
Yuyi nodded, stretched her neck over, and blew on her sister's hand, "Don't cry, sister, blow on it and it won't hurt."
Chang Lian was about to say something when the servant came running over and said, "Master Zhao and his family are here."
Chang Lian saw that Zhao Ji came with his wife and children. He rolled his eyes in his heart. In the past, Lu Liang was annoying. Even when he was cold, Lu Liang didn't dare to come over. But Zhao Ji was not like that. If you speak in a subtle way, people will pretend not to understand. If you speak directly, they will pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Anyway, it all depends on you, especially after he got the reward!
In the evening in the capital, Zhou Shuren came back and told Zhulan about the King of Qi. Zhulan couldn't figure it out, "What does the King of Qi mean?"
Zhou Shuren: "I don't know."
Zhu Lan was speechless, "Isn't he investigating the Zhang family? Shouldn't he be very busy?"
"It's probably hard to check."
Zhu Lan didn't want to analyze Prince Qi, so she talked about what happened in the Duke's Mansion today. "Everything inside and outside today was handled by Ning Zhiqi and his wife. I think the old Duke's intention should have been conveyed directly to Ning Zhiqi."
Zhou Shuren sighed, "One bad move ruined the old Duke's plan. Now the old Duke must be very upset."
Zhu Lan thought for a moment, "Rong Chuan once asked Xue Han what Ning Hou Mansion was like. Rong Chuan wanted to stay in Ning Hou Mansion. If he really stayed, he could also protect some of the Duke's Mansion."
Zhou Shuren, "If he really stays, the Duke's Mansion may not be the Duke's Mansion anymore."
Zhulan agreed as she thought. Rongchuan is a prince after all. Even if he will not be part of the royal family, the emperor will compensate Rongchuan. There will be changes in the Ninghou Mansion because they are all part of the Ning family. The Duke's Mansion has more variables.
Zhulan talked about her own family's affairs, "I checked the servants in my house these few days, but I didn't find any suspicious people."
Zhou Shuren raised his eyebrows, "Really?"
Zhu Lan nodded, "I checked several times and found nothing. Apart from the one who was guessed to be the emperor's man, the other servants are all normal."
Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and said, "It would be strange if there were no problems."
Zhulan thought so too. Her family had attracted enough hatred. She didn't even have servants, and there was no problem with them. But she didn't even have anyone who was bribed. This was a bit too much. "So I want to check every once in a while. People who leave the house will be strictly recorded. If I wasn't worried about the servants being uneasy, I would also like to supervise each other!"
Zhou Shuren, "From now on, no one is allowed to leave the house. Also limit the number of times the servants can go out. Try to control it as much as possible."
"Um."
Seven days later, Mrs. Du was buried, and Xue Han returned to Zhou Mansion from the Duke's Mansion. Zhu Lan was helpless, "If you don't go back to the Marquis' Mansion, how can you go back to your mother's home?"
Xue Han spread her hands and said, "My father-in-law won't let me. He is cleaning up the Marquis' Mansion. These days, he has been living in the Duke's Mansion. I can only go back to my mother's home."
Zhulan asked, "Is the old lady feeling better?"
Xue Han sighed, "She's feeling better now, and her body is still fine. She was never strong to begin with, and this time it's completely ruined. The poison is so strong, grandma is really lucky this time."
"Where is the old duke? Is he feeling better?"
"Okay, when Grandpa is well, he will take care of Grandma. I am no longer needed, so I am leaving the house."
Zhulan saw that her daughter had lost a lot of weight, "Thank you for your hard work these days."
Xue Han, "Mom, I'm not tired, I just chat with grandma. Grandma sleeps most of the time, but she's a little bored. Mom, no one is allowed to enter the main courtyard, not even Ning Ting and the other kids. Grandpa is not willing to see Second Uncle even though he's recovered."
Zhulan thought to herself that the old man was really angry this time, "Is the Song family in charge now?"
Xue Han nodded, "Yes, my eldest brother is taking over the family affairs, and my eldest sister-in-law is in charge of the Duke's Mansion. Yes, Yu Shi rarely even leaves the yard now."
Inside the palace, Prince Qi came out of the government hall, saw Rongchuan, and walked over quickly, "I've sent some fruits up here, I'll bring some back for you."
Rongchuan was panicking, especially panicking. These days, the King of Qi treated him like his own brother, as if he was born from the same mother. He always thought of good things for him and always asked about his well-being. "No, no need."
Prince Qi secretly thought that he had always been bullied by the prince before, and now he especially liked to see Rong Chuan's confused look. Of course, he also wanted to make friends with him. Rong Chuan was the prince's biological brother. "It's okay. We are just friends. Don't be polite to me."
The King of Chu and the King of Liang were both dumbfounded. They stared in amazement at the King of Qi's counterattack. The King of Qi no longer even called himself the King.
Zhang Yang looked up at the sky. The weather was very good today. Could this really be the King of Qi?
