Chapter 1128 Discovery

Time flies and it is the day when the Ministry of Rites is on holiday. When Zhulan woke up in the morning, she found that Changyi and Changzhi were staying in the study.

Zhulan was even more satisfied. Changyi's career was too smooth and his luck was surprisingly good. However, it was precisely because of this that he became a little impatient. She signaled Mrs. Song to send some soup over. There were braziers in the house in winter, so it would be better to drink more soup.

Mrs. Song came back soon, "Fourth Master is teaching Second Master. I see Second Master has written a lot."

Zhu Lan narrowed her eyes and said, "The second brother has been on two missions, and his heart has never been at peace. Now he has finally calmed down."

Mrs. Song blinked her eyes. She really admired the mistress's ability to educate children. Sometimes, a seemingly casual sentence or two could make the masters think for a long time. "I also feel the second master's calmness."

Zhulan motioned for Mrs. Song to sit down, "Don't stand anymore, let's just sit in the room for a while."

Mrs. Song knew that her mistress was kind and would be nice to her, so she said, "Yes."

Half an hour later, Zhulan heard the report from Butler Wang, "Are you saying that Master Yu is here?"

Butler Wang replied, "Yes, the Second Master has asked someone to go to the study."

Zhulan touched the chess piece in her hand. Lord Yu was sick and stayed here. Was he cured? He actually came to their house. Zhulan didn't know what Lord Yu was thinking. "I know. Go prepare some fruits and send them over."

In the study, Chang Yi gestured to Master Yu to drink tea, "Master, are you well?"

Chang Yi really didn't think much about it. Considering the old man's age, he thought it was normal for him to get sick due to unfamiliar climate. However, since he returned to Beijing, he had not fought for a job and had been studying very honestly. So he didn't know how the negotiations went and was even more puzzled about the old man coming to his house.

After Yu Yun came back, he never thought about leaving. It was a price he paid to be able to return as an envoy this time. Among the people who went to sea that year, he was the only one who survived to this day, and the others either died of old age or in accidents. Why he stayed all this time is a secret that the Yu family wants to know.

The main family in the capital and the direct branch overseas have actually become distant over the years. The main family does not trust the direct branch overseas, so the young master did not leave with them. The head of the family was deeply afraid that the direct branch overseas would harm the young master.

As for what the secret was, he didn't know. He only knew that the direct branch overseas wanted it, but he knew that Liu Niang, who stayed behind, knew it. Who could have thought that the head of the family did not trust them, but trusted Liu Niang the most.

Chang Yi saw that Master Yu was silent, "Master?"

Yuyun, "I was distracted for a moment, I'm much better now, a few days ago."

Here I paused.

Chang Yi hummed, and Chang Zhi, who was reading, also raised his head. Thinking that it would be awkward for him to stay here, he stood up and said, "Second brother, I'm going back to the yard first."

Yu Yun said hurriedly, "It's nothing important. No, I went to get medicine a few days ago and saw a woman in the clinic."

Chang Yi and Chang Zhi were full of questions. They asked the woman how she got to Zhou's house. Chang Yi asked, "But she is from my family?"

That shouldn’t be the case. I get my own medicine instead of going to the clinic. I keep a lot of medicinal herbs at home, and they are all the best.

Yu Yin also felt that luck was magical. He was thinking about whether to play cards with the emperor when he met a woman who looked like Liu Niang. After asking around, he found out that she was from Mr. Zhou's family. "She is the eldest daughter of the mansion who got married."

Changzhi was dumbfounded. What does this have to do with his elder sister?

Chang Yi almost choked, "What does Master Yu mean?"

Yu Yin said, "I just think the eldest daughter of the mansion looks like someone I know, so I want to ask Lord Zhou if your grandmother's surname is Rong?"

Chang Yi narrowed his eyes. The surname Rong, what a sensitive surname. He stared at Master Yu. Suddenly, he recalled what his father said when he tested Master Yu last time. He had been talking about Rong Yuan. His eyes widened. "I don't know my grandmother's surname. I only know that the old people in the village call her Liu Niang."

Lord Yu's hands were shaking, he had not dared to marry in these years just to be able to come back, but his relatives overseas would not let him go. Following the maritime trade, he arranged for people to come back, and the news he brought back was limited. He only had the confidence to come back when he knew that the emperor had built Rongyuan.

I have carefully inquired in Beijing and I know it will be difficult to find it on my own, but I am afraid of bad results, so I have been enduring it. Now I have encountered it.

Afterwards, Zhulan met Lord Yu, and then went to call the eldest daughter-in-law back, and the rest would be discussed after she arrived.

When Xuemei came in, Lord Yu stared at her, then said tremblingly, "It looks like her, it really looks like her."

Zhulan also looked at the eldest daughter and couldn't help but touch her wrist with a guilty conscience. How could she not feel guilty? She was also blinded by the light. There was clearly someone at home who looked like her mother-in-law, but she insisted on drawing a portrait. Then the painting left a deep impression in her mind, and she no longer felt that the daughter looked like her mother-in-law.

Looking at Lord Yu's appearance now, it should be very similar. Her portrait is a little too beautiful.

Xuemei was startled, "Mom, what is this?"

Zhulan said, "It's okay, go to the second room first."

Xuemei didn't understand why, but she still listened to her mother and said, "Yes."

Seeing that Chang Yi didn't leave, Zhu Lan glared at him. Chang Yi wanted to stay, and it was obvious that his mother knew everything. Her heart was pounding. His mother was indirectly admitting that her family had a relationship with the Rong family. "Mom."

Zhulan saw that the matter could not be kept secret, so she waved her hand and told Changzhi to stay if he wanted to. Changzhi also stayed smoothly.

Zhulan told Lord Yu who her mother-in-law was, something the emperor already knew, and finally said, "There are still people alive from the direct line of the Rong family, and the emperor is already looking for them, but the Rong family was wiped out back then, and although the families involved died or were wiped out, there are still some alive, so it has never been made public."

Zhu Lan paused and continued, "Your Excellency is a survivor of that time, and you must know more than the writings left by my mother-in-law. So you have already confirmed it here, please go to the palace and confess to the emperor."

Zhulan was curious about what happened in the past, but she could only look at some melons and eat some of them.

Yu Yin stood up and said, "I will go to the palace to see His Majesty. By the way, my name is Rong Yu Yin, and I am the fourth child."

Zhulan thought for a moment, "Fourth uncle."

Yu Yun was in a good mood. At least he had the blood of the Rong family left, and he had not taken advantage of the Rong family and was in his current position. He had inquired a lot about Zhou Shuren, and now that he knew he was his family, he felt proud. He was indeed the blood of the Rong family.

Yuyun was originally floating, but now it seems to have roots.

Chang Yi and Chang Zhi were both stunned. It was not until Yu Yun left that Chang Yi slapped his brother's leg hard. Chang Zhi jumped up in pain, "Second brother, why did you hit me?"

Chang Yi came back to his senses, "It's not a dream, it's real, Mom, our family is really the descendant of the Rong family!"

Zhu Lan rolled her eyes and corrected him, "Our last name is Zhou, but don't say your last name is Rong in front of your father, or you'll get beaten."

Zhou Shuren was in no hurry to hide, and wished that the truth would never be made public and that he wouldn't have to risk his life for it.

The emperor has always known about Yu Yun's movements in the palace. He knew it as soon as he entered the Zhou Mansion. Now that he has come to the palace, the emperor understands that this is the answer he wanted from the Zhou family.

Then Zhou Shuren was also called into the palace. Zhou Shuren was helpless. It was the end of the year and he was really busy, and the emperor was still dragging his feet.
