Chapter 1279 Every Word is Like a Knife

In a blink of an eye, Zhulan received another letter from her eldest grandson. The old lady, who had been happily arranging flowers with her granddaughters, suddenly frowned and slammed the letter on the table.

When Yushuang, the eldest granddaughter, saw it, she was the first to ask, "Grandma, what did my eldest brother write in the letter?"

As Zhulan grew older, and as she had always been at the top of the family's biological chain, her temper inevitably rose. Now she was so angry that she said, "The Zhao family is shameless."

How shameless! Not only did his plan fail, but he even gave the girl away as a gift, not only to his eldest grandson, but also to his great-grandson.

The little old lady was furious. The two children were bullied when no adults were around!

Yu Shuang had already reached out to take the letter. After reading it, the good-tempered Yu Shuang blushed with anger, "Shame on you."

Yu Lu came over to watch, "This is too much."

Zhulan gritted her teeth, snorted, then took the letter and stood up, "I will go to the Ministry of Revenue to find your grandfather in person."

Yu Shuang and Yu Lu looked at each other. Grandma was really angry.

When Zhulan thought about her own son being blatantly scammed, she became extremely angry. The old man had a good relationship with Zhao Bo, and that was why her family trusted the Zhao family. So she had to find the old man, and she couldn't wait any longer.

At the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren looked at the Emperor and the Crown Prince with a headache, "If I remember correctly, the Crown Prince's teacher is the scholar of Wu University?"

The emperor nodded, "Yes."

Zhou Shuren pointed to the homework on the table, "What is this?"

The Emperor smiled, "This child has a lot of ideas. Master Wu is a good student, but he can't cope with the prince's active thinking. That's why the prince asks you when he doesn't understand something."

Zhou Shuren, "......"

He was still wondering if the master chosen by the emperor and the emperor emeritus was too honest. Haha, now seeing the bright eyes of the little prince, he understood. It was really difficult for the emperor to choose an honest one among so many foxes.

The Emperor said quietly, "When you move, I will go out for a walk. For now, I can still take care of the Crown Prince. When I go out, I don't know who to leave the Crown Prince to. I will bother you a lot then."

If the prince was not so young and it was the time for him to lay the foundation, he would want to take the prince for a walk.

The retired emperor was looking after his grandson, but he couldn't take him away now. He also had to teach his eldest grandson, so he would not be away for more than half a year each year.

Zhou Shuren had a heart attack. He was tricked again. "My bones are almost gone."

The little prince smiled innocently, "I am still young. When I grow up, Lord Zhou's eldest grandson will also enter the court."

Zhou Shuren, "!!"

What the little prince meant was that even though he had no more life left, he still had a backup.

At this time, Jianyan came in respectfully, feeling a little anxious. This was the first time that the mistress came to the Ministry of Revenue to see the master, so something big must have happened at home. After Jianyan reported it.

Zhou Shuren ran out at a trot, and the prince was stunned. "Just now, Lord Zhou said that he was getting old and his bones were going to be schemed away."

The emperor twitched his lips, "He is used to pretending to be pitiful."

At the Ministry of Revenue, after Zhou Shuren read the letter, Lord Zhou also got angry. This was a forced sale and bullying of a young child.

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard. His eldest grandson had seen a lot of situations. This kind of shameless fraud was malicious, but he could handle it. "I will write a letter to Zhao Bo."

What does a family fear the most? When a family falls into decline, they desperately try to seize the opportunity to turn things around. Zhao Bo is the pillar of the Zhao family. Without Zhao Bo, the Zhao family will only decline rapidly.

Zhou Shuren thought a lot. The Zhou family should not be bullied. If he took the matter of the Zhao family lightly this time, he would have to wait and see. There would be more disgusting things in the future. There would always be times when one could be careless in guarding against thieves. Compared to defense, he preferred to take the initiative.

When Zhulan heard that the retired emperor and the crown prince were in the Ministry of Revenue, she sighed twice. This was a matter of luck. Who would have thought that she would be so accurate after finally having a chance to come to the Ministry of Revenue!

Zhou Shuren went back without hiding the truth, no matter how hard he tried. The retired emperor looked up at Zhou Shuren. This old man was narrow-minded and particularly protective of his own people. The retired emperor would not interfere, but he remembered the Zhao family of Pingzhou in his heart.

Zhou Shuren did not complain intentionally, it was enough for him to state the facts. People of royal bloodline have particularly good memories, and those with poor senses can remember for a long time.

Zhou Shuren thought of Zhao Bo. He cherished this first friend very much. Even though his official rank was promoted quickly, he never forgot his friend.

However, this friendship deteriorated when the Zhao family plotted against their grandson and grandson-in-law.

In Pingzhou City, Jiang Du saw his cousin sorting out the furs he bought today and asked, "Aren't we leaving yet?"

Mingyun didn't even raise his head, "Why are you leaving?"

Jiang Du, "It's possible that the news about Pingzhou has spread to my hometown, and the Zhao family is too difficult to deal with."

The compensation last time was really disgusting. He brought the girls here. Did he think about their future? If they refused, how could the two girls get married?

This was a calculation, to forcefully scam them, but it was a miscalculation, as the Zhao family underestimated them.

Mingyun had already divided the leather. "Oh, if we leave, people will think we are young and scared. If we don't leave, what else can we do? I want to wait for the Zhao family to come to our house and apologize in a serious manner before I leave."

Originally he was in a hurry to return to the capital, but now he is not in a hurry anymore. He has masters with high martial arts skills and royal guards given to him by his grandfather. There is nothing to be afraid of.

He had to stay in Pingzhou. He wanted everyone waiting for the result to see that the Zhou family could not be bullied.

Mingyun sneered in his heart, the Zhao family dared to plot against him one after another. If the Zhou family did not show any attitude, they would have to wait and see. When his younger brothers come back to take the exam in the future, it would not just be the Zhao family that dared to plot against them.

Jiang Du stared at his cousin. His cousin's demeanor just now was very much like his grandfather. At this moment, he deeply realized the gap between him and his cousin. His cousin had been exposed to these things since he was a child, while he was focused on studying. He could never catch up with his cousin's ideas and methods of dealing with things.

Jiang Du felt that he had learned a lot from his cousin. "I will listen to my cousin."

Mingyun asked the servant to take all the things away, "As a family has been around for a long time, some things have already decayed. This is also a lesson."

In the future Zhou family, he will never allow anyone to damage the Zhou family's reputation.

In the capital, Zhou Shuren has always been a man of action. On the one hand, he sent Jianyan and Shenxing to Pingzhou City in person, and on the other hand, he wrote a letter to Zhao Bo, telling him everything that had happened. He also pointed out that there were royal assassins in the mansion, and the royal family knew everything that happened at home.

Zhou Shuren meant that the family was very angry and there had been a lot of commotion, so the royal family must have known about it.

Zhou Shuren would never say that the emperor and the crown prince were both there at the time, the effect would be the same, so naturally he had to be picked out.

At the end, Zhou Shuren mentioned with great emotion several times how he had helped Zhao Bo. Zhou Shuren helped Zhao Bo a lot in his current development, and it was all because of Zhou Shuren that Zhao Bo was able to jump out of the deadlock in the salt case.

There was no accusation in the entire letter, but every word was like a knife, stabbing Zhao Bo's heart.
