Chapter 1149 A Calm Mind

Zhou Shuren returned to the Ministry of Revenue. He admired himself for being so calm inside. He had seen a lot of storms and waves. Even if there was a big house, well, that was a house comparable to a marquis's mansion. He knew how big the residence of the Rong family was. Even if it was divided into three parts, it would still be twice as big as his own!

Zhou Shuren was calm and was not affected at all when he returned to the Ministry of Revenue.

Qiu Yan knocked on the door and came in, "What does the emperor want to see you for?"

Zhou Shuren said, "Nothing, have you finished your work?"

Qiu Yan shook his head, "Not yet. I saw you had been in the palace for a long time, so I came to ask, thinking there was another urgent report from the southwest."

Zhou Shuren got a headache whenever he thought about the war in the southwest. He had to hide after the battle and could not withdraw his troops for fear that if he left, the enemy would attack again. The war in the southwest was the most troublesome. What was even more disturbing was that the enemy also released poison and there were many people who knew about poison. Many officers and soldiers were infected. If many doctors from all over the country were recruited and many people who knew about poison followed the army, things would be even more troublesome.

Qiu Yan was silent after he finished speaking, and then said: "The army's consumption of food and grass is very huge, as well as medicinal materials."

Zhou Shuren, "......Yeah."

On his desk was a memorial from the Ministry of War to the Crown Prince for approval, asking the Ministry of Revenue to allocate money to purchase medicinal herbs. The prices of medicinal herbs had risen a lot!

Qiu Yan coughed and said, "Then I'll go out."

"Um."

At the Shi family, Shi Huai was confused as he listened to the old housekeeper telling him about his life experience. Shi Huai finally accepted the fact and looked at Yu Yun, "You are looking for the old housekeeper? Why are you investigating my life experience?"

The old housekeeper didn't want to hear the secret. He always remembered the emperor calling the sixth aunt, "I will go down first."

Shi Huai waited for the old housekeeper to go down, staring directly at Yutan, "You approached me for a purpose, who am I?"

Yu Yin sighed, "This story has to start from a long time ago. Rongyuan was the residence of the Rong family, where many Rong family members lived. Let's start from the previous dynasty."

This talk lasted for nearly half an hour. Yu Yun talked about many things about the Rong family, from the discovery of something wrong, to the step-by-step arrangements, and the final escape. The sufferings of those years, the extermination of the Rong family by various tribes, and finally talked about Shi Huai's life experience.

Shi Huai was stunned by what he heard, and he couldn't find his voice for a long time. After a quarter of an hour, Shi Huai finally said with a dry throat: "I am a direct descendant of the Rong family? I am the cousin of the current emperor? Or a biological brother?"

Yu Yun thought to himself, the emperor did not acknowledge it. The emperor only acknowledged that Shi Huai was from the direct branch of the Rong family, but did not acknowledge that he was a cousin. The emperor said that only cousins ​​are cousins. The emperor did not say that, then they are just relatives. The prince's maternal grandfather is from the Ning family, and the prince has never called Ning Zhiqi cousin!

Shi Huai saw that Yu Yun didn't say anything, and his mind calmed down. How could he not calm down? If it was as he thought, the emperor should have summoned him to the palace, instead of asking his fourth uncle, who was not related to him by blood, to talk about his life experience. "My fourth uncle said that the emperor should restore the reputation of the Rong family."

Yu Yin nodded, "Yes, yes, the Rong family has also paid a lot for the emperor."

He was in a state of confusion as he waited for the vindication. If it exceeded his expectations, he would know that the emperor had obtained the secret of the Rong family. If it did not exceed, it would be all based on the posthumous title of the empress dowager and the affection of the emperor's maternal family, so he could feel more at ease.

Shi Huai looked at his equally dumbfounded son and twitched his lips. "My fourth uncle said that the Yao family betrayed the Rong family."

Yu Yin's eyes fell on Shi Qing, "Yeah."

Shi Qing's wooden face had some expression, but it was worse than having no expression. His face was very stiff. He just felt ridiculous. He took every step tremblingly and carefully. In front of the knife in the emperor's hand, he married the person the emperor promised, even if there was no love, but it was suitable. What was the result!

Shi Qing only felt it was ironic. He thought that the emperor would be lenient to him in the future and he would be able to put down the burden and not have to worry about the future. However, it played a joke on his marriage. He didn't want to bear the hatred of the Rong family, but he had to bear it.

Shi Qing felt like he had nowhere to vent his anger, his heart was burning with anger, and he finally spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

This frightened Yuyun, "Quick, find a doctor."

Shi Huai was also stunned. This was his only son. "Son, son."

At Zhou's house, Zhulan and Zhao were arranging flowers, which Changyi had bought. Zhao said, "My husband said that a lot of people invited him to dinner these past two days."

Zhu Lan looked at Zhao with the corner of her eye, "It's more than just a dinner invitation!"

Zhao said somewhat unhappily, "Well, I smelled the scent of rouge and powder yesterday."

Zhulan asked, why did Zhao come to her to arrange the flowers that Changyi bought? "Are you worried?"

Zhao shook her head, "My husband told me that he didn't have any intentions, and he knew they had bad intentions, but my husband couldn't refuse the invitation."

This capital city is a place where rich people gather, and sometimes you can't just push them away if you want to. Once you hit them with a stick, you never know if there will be someone of great background among them.

Zhulan, "Changyi is a man of his word. He is not someone who likes women. You should understand him."

The most important thing for the second son now is his career.

Zhao smiled and said, "I think I'm pregnant, so I'm willing to think more about it."

Zhulan put down the scissors and said, "I understand. You are afraid that he will be tricked."

Zhao smiled and said, "Don't worry, daughter-in-law."

Zhulan sighed, "I don't know what happened today, my eyelids kept twitching, and I was worried about it."

"Didn't you get enough rest, mom?"

Zhulan shook her head, she always felt like something was wrong.

At the Shi family, Shi Qing hadn't woken up yet. Yao Yao was extremely anxious when she got the news. She looked at her father-in-law, but he didn't even look at her. She wasn't in the hall just now, but she knew something big had happened.

Now my husband is dizzy and I feel even more panicked.

The doctor used an injection, and Shi Qing slowly woke up. He saw his wife with red eyes from crying, sighed, and waved, "Why are you crying? I'm fine."

Yao Yao was feeling uneasy just now, but now she felt relieved. "The doctor was just angry."

Shi Qing was extremely tired. He didn't have the energy to say anything and didn't know how to tell his wife. He could only comfort her, "I'm fine, don't worry. Yes, send someone to the Ministry of Revenue. I'm going to take sick leave."

Yao Yao said, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

Yao Yao went out to make arrangements. Shi Huai looked at his son's attitude, moved his lips but dared not say anything. He had been living under his son's control for so many years. Even though he knew his life experience, he was not much braver. He still had his brains. It was obvious that the emperor valued his son more than him. "You should have a good rest and don't think too much."

The dry words made Shi Qing feel relieved. He was really afraid that his father would lose control. It was already troublesome enough, and he had to worry about his father. "Dad, go and have a rest. I have nothing to do here. Thank you."

The best way to help him is to not interfere. The more you interfere, the more chaos will arise.

Yu Yin looked at the father and son, his eyes moved, and he stood up, "Let's all take a rest, I want to go back too."
