Chapter 1079: Ruthless

Zhulan was also happy in her heart. It was good to be exposed. She didn't have to be on guard anymore. Everything was out in the open, and Qingxue would be cautious. "Don't worry, nothing will change in the future. But the safety of the main courtyard is in your hands. Mrs. Song is old after all, and she will have to go out to retire. You are not young either, but I don't know if you can get married?"

Zhu Lan paused and continued, "If we can get married, you can tell me when you find the right person, and I will agree."

Qingxue was stunned, she had never thought about getting married, she was an orphan after the founding of the dynasty, and was later taken away for training. She knew that they had no future. In her heart, she envied Mrs. Song, but she had never expected it. Now after hearing this, she understood that she could only stay in the Zhou Mansion. This was the best outcome for her. She was happy when she was exposed, who wants to die when she can live.

Qingxue licked the tooth that hid the poison with the tip of her tongue. If it was exposed today, it would be gone in the future. "The maid needs to ask for instructions."

Mrs. Song looked at Qingxue and thought to herself, this girl has a good life. It should be said that those who enter the Zhou Mansion and become famous have good lives. Both Jinyan and Shenxing have descendants. The Zhou Mansion will be able to continue to be rich and prosperous, and their descendants will be protected in the future. When they are old, they will have many children, so their life will not be in vain.

Zhulan nodded, "Okay, let me know when you get the exact information."

Qingxue said cheerfully, "Thank you, Madam."

Outside the palace gate, Zhou Shuren got off the carriage in a hurry. The generals guarding the palace gate were stunned. "Lord Zhou, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Shuren's back was bent even more. "It's a disaster, it's a disaster. I have to go to the palace to see the emperor and ask the emperor to make the decision!"

When Jianyan heard the adult's raised voice at the end, his heart trembled; the tone was a bit high.

The general was dumbfounded. In his impression, Lord Zhou was cunning and treacherous. That was right. Every time he was waiting outside the palace gate for the court session, Lord Zhou had never suffered any loss. In the current situation, he hurriedly said, "Sir, I need to check the maid behind you."

Zhou Shuren waved his hands helplessly. "Check it out? Check it out more carefully. I will bring him to see the Emperor."

At this time, Xiao Qingzheng was leaving the palace. He looked at Zhou Shuren carefully. He had never seen Zhou Shuren so bad before. Didn't he go home? Did something bad happen again? Fortunately, Zhou Shuren was fine. The emperor was furious just now, "Shuren, what happened again?"

Zhou Shuren wiped his tears with the sleeve of his official uniform and said with a choked voice: "My Lord, since I became an official, I have never done anything dishonorable. I have been a parent to the people. I have worked hard for the national money in the Ministry of Revenue. My Lord, since I entered the Ministry of Revenue, I have been like an ox, and a ox without hair at that."

Zhou Shuren paused, wiping his eyes more diligently, "I haven't been eating or sleeping well these past few days, all because of the bad harvest this year. I'm afraid of natural disasters. For the sake of grain and food, I've been gritting my teeth and counting money. I'm devoted to the court and the people, but today, first someone tried to assassinate me in the Ministry of Revenue, and then when I returned home, they also tried to assassinate my wife. Isn't this tearing out my heart?"

Jianyan's expression was completely frozen. His own adult was crying. Oh, he was really crying!

Xiao Qing swallowed his saliva in shock. Zhou Shuren was crying at the gate of the palace, and he looked particularly aggrieved. Although he said only a few words, he made his achievements and grievances very clear. This old fox was crying at the gate of the palace on purpose!

The Emperor had already ordered a thorough investigation and an explanation to Zhou Shuren. Now that Zhou Shuren was crying, the matter became even more serious. Xiao Qing had serious doubts. If it wasn't so embarrassing to sit down and cry, Zhou Shuren would have done something really good!

The generals guarding the palace gate were stunned. No, it should be the soldiers who were on guard. Aren't men supposed to shed blood but not tears? Lord Zhou was too good at crying. He was indeed a busybody in the court every day!

Xiao Qing had a wooden face, he would cry and wipe his tears, but he really couldn't be as shameless as Zhou Shuren, crying in public, "Go to the palace."

Zhou Shuren's hands trembled, "I will enter the palace now."

Xiao Qing was not going to follow him in. Zhou Shuren had performed so well at the palace gate, so he should perform on his own after entering the palace. "I'm going back to the Ministry of Revenue first."

Zhou Shuren's voice choked with sobs, "Sir, take care."

Xiao Qing, "......"

The news from the Ministry of Revenue spread quickly. Rongchuan was with Prince Liang and was the first to know the news. When he learned that his father was fine, he returned to the Duke's Mansion to pick up his wife.

The couple never expected that their mother would also be assassinated.

If Xue Han hadn't been supported by Rong Chuan, she would have almost fainted. When she saw her mother, her voice changed and she choked with sobs, "Mom, Mom."

Zhulan was still struggling over whether to tell her daughter, but now that she had come, she said, "Oh, go slower, your belly is getting bigger."

Xue Han was no longer thinking about her belly at this moment. She was now sweating coldly down her back from fear. Her parents almost died today. Thinking of this possibility, her face turned pale.

Rongchuan was terrified, "Call the imperial physician."

Xuehan's fetal position was stable. She sat up for a while and held her mother's hand, "Mom, I scared your daughter today."

Zhulan saw the lady coming over slowly, and her heart dropped. "You are the one who scared me. If anything happened to you and the baby in your belly, wouldn't that be the end of your life?"

Rong Chuan was frightened. He should have asked for more information earlier. But he also thought that he couldn't keep it secret. "Mom, where's Dad?"

Zhulan, "Your father has taken people to the palace. Your father was frightened today."

Rong Chuan replied, "We were all terrified."

Dad and Mom are the pillars of the Zhou family, and today the pillars of the Zhou family almost collapsed!

Xue Han gritted her teeth and said, "These people deserve to die."

Zhulan patted her daughter's hand and said, "Okay, don't worry about it. Just take care of yourself and I'll be relieved."

Inside the palace, the Emperor and the Crown Prince in the Zheng Palace had twitching mouth corners. Zhou Shuren was still walking slowly. They already knew what had happened at the palace gate.

The prince was silent for a long time, "Zhou Shuren is even more shameless than I thought."

The emperor was originally furious because Zhou Shuren almost got into trouble, but now he rolled his eyes in his heart, "He is indeed shameless."

After the prince complained about Zhou Shuren, he frowned again, "Too rampant, these rats are too rampant."

The emperor turned the beads in his hand and said, "It seems that there are still people in the capital. Ask Prince Qi to come to the palace and check every household for me."

He was afraid because he had people in Zhou Shuren's backyard. He knew that Zhou Shuren and his wife were investigating the servants. Zhou Shuren's wife was a capable woman, but she still let people sneak in.

Now that the situation was becoming clearer, he could let go.

The Crown Prince is satisfied with the current Prince of Qi. Last time, the Crown Princess went to Prince Qi's mansion and gave him a ladder, and Prince Qi responded.

Outside the Zheng Palace, Eunuch Liu looked up at the sky, then looked at Lord Zhou, with a wooden face, "Lord, the Emperor and the Crown Prince are waiting for you!"

Zhou Shuren's eyes were red. He admired himself in his heart. He could cry as soon as he said he would. This was a great skill. He cried for a long time and his voice became hoarse. "Thank you for waiting for me, father-in-law."

Eunuch Liu cleared his throat and said, "It's not hard. Lord Zhou, please come in."

He just realized today that Lord Zhou is a ruthless person. He is so cruel to him that he doesn't even care about his reputation!
