Chapter 1117 Frustration
The next day, Zhulan and her concubine entered the palace together. They received the Queen's order to take the child home. Why was Linxi able to leave the palace? Zhulan saw another child in the Queen's bedroom.
Zhang Yang's son was accidentally dropped by Zhang Yang yesterday. Zhu Lan was still wondering whether the child was dead or alive, but she didn't expect that he would actually get close to the palace.
The Queen held Linxi in her arms and reluctantly handed her to Xuehan, "Bring more children to the palace in the future. No, forget it. Take Linxi back and raise her well."
Xue Han was very happy. She was still talking about her daughter yesterday, and today she was taken out of the palace. "Yes."
Suddenly, another baby started crying. The queen hid her impatience. If the emperor had not been afraid that the child would be killed by Zhang Yang, he would not have brought the child into the palace, and she would not have to send her granddaughter out of the palace.
Zhulan glanced behind the curtain and saw that the palace maid was holding the child and coaxing him carefully. Judging from his crying, he should not have been injured yesterday.
The Queen saw that her granddaughter was also holding back her tears. That child was particularly good at crying, and she made her granddaughter cry too. She wanted to keep Yang Shuren to talk for a while, but then she gave up and said, "You can leave the palace now."
After Zhulan and the maid of honor paid their respects, they withdrew and were led out of the palace by the female officials.
Xue Han held the girl tightly in her arms and never let go. She was extremely grateful that the fifth prince's child had entered the palace.
After leaving the palace and getting on the carriage, Zhulan, who had been the background along the way, finally spoke, "I'll take you back to the Duke's Mansion."
Xue Han held the child in her arms and said, "No, I went home yesterday and told my father-in-law that I would stay a few more days. Mom, I'm going back to my parents' home. You haven't had a good look at your granddaughter yet!"
Zhulan took her granddaughter in. The little girl was well-fed by the queen and was plump and fair. She was looking around with her eyes wide open. "Okay, let's go home."
Xue Han smiled, opened the carriage curtain a little, and said to the servant outside, "Tell the prince that the young lady has left the palace."
The servant said, "Yes."
Zhulan just got home and the Xu family had been waiting for a while. The one who came this time was the eldest son of the Xu family, who has been slowly taking charge of the family in the past few years.
Boss Xu greeted him respectfully and said, "This is a letter from Second Master."
Zhulan's eyes lit up with joy. Changyi had been away for some time, and this was the first letter from the boy. "Thank you for your help."
Old Master Xu had a simple face and smiled, "As expected, Second Master also brought back some food, which I have already given to the housekeeper."
Zhulan was not in a hurry to read the letter, but asked, "Is your mother feeling better?"
Boss Xu sighed, "It's still not getting better."
The coffin and shrouds had been prepared long ago, out of gratitude for the prince's kindness. The imperial physician had also seen that the mother did not have much time left.
Zhulan knew it in her heart. Mrs. Xu had been ill since last year. She couldn't bear to hear this anymore.
Boss Xu spoke for a while and then said goodbye and left.
Zhulan picked up Changyi's letter. In it, Changyi wrote about his experiences in the surrounding countries and said that he would be back later than expected because he had to do some research. He told his family not to worry. There was another letter in the letter. Zhulan saw that my wife had opened it herself, so she didn't read it and handed it to Qingxue, "Send it to the second wife."
In the Mansion of Marquis Yao, Yao Wenqi was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood. The background of Zhou Shuren's ancestors was easy to check. Before the merger of the clans, Zhou Shuren's branch was very poor and unsuccessful in the imperial examinations. Later, they settled in Zhoujia Village. As for Zhou Shuren's mother, his premonition came true, and the root cause was Zhou Shuren's mother.
But after so long, the Zhou family is still the Zhou family, Zhou Shuren has not changed at all, and the emperor has not paid much attention to them, so he is a little unsure.
So he was eager to get the news and plant people in Zhou's family, but it was too difficult for Zhou Shuren to take action now.
The thought of this made him even more depressed. It was difficult to place the Zhou family's servants in the manor. He sent people to seduce the eldest son of the Zhou family, but the eldest son of the Zhou family was hiding in the manor, and there was no progress. He then attacked the eldest grandson of the Zhou family, who was even more cunning.
Although his hands were broken frequently these days, Zhou Shuren's eldest grandson had never fallen into any of the traps.
The housekeeper couldn't help but suggest, "Lord, among Zhou Shuren's sons, Zhou Laosi is the least conspicuous. Do you think we should start with Zhou Laosi?"
Yao Wenqi frowned, "Boss Zhou, please hold tight here as well."
He just couldn't understand why the beauty trap, which always worked, kept failing on the Zhou family.
Zhulan didn't know about Yao Wenqi's depression, and knew that he must have raised his hand to indicate her credit.
In the Zhou family's village, the refugees from the drought have returned to their hometowns one after another, and some have stayed in the village.
Zhou Changli took the farm manager to check the chicks and was surprised, "This batch of chicks is well raised."
You can tell at a glance that his spirit is different.
The manager smiled and said, "This batch of chicks were raised by the Liu brothers and sisters. I was a little hesitant when they said they would raise them, but now I believe them."
Zhou Changli said, "Bring them here for me to see."
The steward said, "Yes."
Zhou Changli and others already knew the basic information of the siblings. As drought refugees, they had to work when they returned to their hometown and they could earn money in the village, so when their parents left, the siblings stayed.
When he saw the people, Changli was stunned. The two siblings were good-looking and not very old, about 16 or 17 years old. Changli asked, "The chicks you raise are good. There are many others who can share their experience. This is a reward for you."
The servant had already handed over one or two ounces of silver.
The Liu brothers and sisters happily took it and said, "Thank you, Grandpa."
Changli smiled and motioned for them to step back. As a result, his sister twisted her foot. Changli's first reaction was to take a big step back, and the girl fell heavily on the stone ground.
Chang Li frowned, looking at the servants around him who were staring at Miss Liu, his brows furrowed even deeper, and waited until the brother and sister left.
Chang Li said to the manager, "This girl is pretty. It would be a disaster if she stayed in the manor. There are too many young men in the manor. Go and ask if she is engaged. If not, arrange a marriage for her. If she is engaged, send someone to send her back to her hometown."
The manager was stunned, then smiled and said, "Yes."
Changli brought it up again when he got home that night, but Li didn't feel anything. Mingyun looked at his father a few more times. Zhulan couldn't help laughing when she heard her son's reaction and solution.
Mingyun was also happy, this was obviously directed at his father, but unfortunately his father was too thick-skinned and too straightforward.
At the Shi family, Shi Qing came back and didn't see his son, so he turned around and went directly to his father's yard. Before he entered the door, he heard his son's laughter in the house.
When Mr. Shi heard the door open and saw his son, he smiled and said, "Come and pick up the child."
Shi Qing hummed, walked over and picked up the son from his father. The father was playing with the child, with his hair loose. Shi Qing picked up the child quickly, "Child, it's time for dinner."
Mr. Shi plucked up his courage and said, "You can actually stay here and have dinner."
Shi Qing said calmly, "No need."
Mr. Shi was fixing his hair with his head lowered.
Shi Qing paused after leaving the house, frowned and thought carefully, but when he heard his son say he was hungry, he forgot about it again.
