Chapter 1359 Thought

Zhulan was looking at the source of the lawsuit. Her child was smart, but he would never lie to his family. Minghui didn't lie, so Mingjing must have. No, Mingjing hasn't learned these things yet, so Mingjing has seen the answer.

Ming Jing's little fat boy moved his hands restlessly and shook his head in a silly way, "Grandma, why are you looking at your grandson like that?"

Zhulan waved her hand, "Mingjing, come here."

Ming Jing hesitated, but still moved her steps honestly. Although she was very reluctant, she said dryly, "I, I didn't lie."

He remembered his grandmother saying that good children should not lie.

Zhulan held the fat boy's hand and said to her son, "Please repeat the question. I want to hear how Mingjing answers it."

Changzhong also came back to his senses and squinted his eyes. He and Minghui had spent the most time together, and they knew each other best. Influenced by his preconceived notions, he thought Minghui was trying to trick him, but now it seemed that was not the case.

Changzhong asked a question, a middle one, and then stared at Mingjing without blinking.

Mingjing was still young, so she answered honestly.

Changzhong gritted his teeth and said, "Our Mingjing is amazing. She can even remember such a long poem."

Yuyi turned her head away to prevent herself from laughing out loud, and Mingjing was exposed.

Minghui's face hurt, it hurt especially. He was thinking that his younger brother loved to eat as much as his mother and looked like her, so his younger brother must have the same personality as his mother. Unexpectedly, he just realized that something was wrong. Today's questions were handwritten, and this kid sometimes answered the questions before he even read them.

The kid memorized all the words he taught him, and gritted his teeth, "It's really amazing, Mingjing knows so many words at such a young age!"

Actually, it was he who taught Mingjing these words. When he was reading, he would recite them together with his younger brother. He did not expect his younger brother to recognize all of them, but just hoped that his younger brother would be able to memorize them after listening more. He did not expect that.

Ming Jing's eyes were fixed, and Xiao Pang didn't know where to put his hands. He looked at his uncle and fourth brother stupidly, "I, I'm stupid."

He was really stupid. He secretly followed her into the kitchen and even cut his hand with a knife.

Zhulan couldn't stop laughing. Her child's personality was particularly interesting. She nodded Mingjing's forehead and said, "He may not be that young, but he has a lot of ideas. Your parents must not know that!"

Li often said that Mingjing was like her, and that she should love Mingjing very much. She also said that Mingjing had several older brothers, so Mingjing didn't have to work so hard.

Mingjing wanted to cry. His mother knew that she would definitely peel off his skin, so he covered his little butt with both hands. His mother really beat him, and it hurt so much.

At the Liu family, Ma said to her second daughter-in-law sternly, "I am very happy that you love my sister-in-law, but I cannot accept the makeup you gave me."

Ning Ting was from the Ning clan. Her father was a marquis and her mother was also from a large family. Her dowry was full of red makeup.

Ning Ting said sincerely: "Mom, this is my intention. I only have this little sister-in-law."

Ning Ting also wanted her sister-in-law's dowry to look better, but only she knew how thick her own dowry was.

After grandma passed away, grandpa divided up grandma's dowry, and also divided up the money grandma had saved over the years. At the time, she was brought up by her mother to manage the household, and she was shocked at how much money grandma had saved.

My grandmother came from a small family, so her dowry was not much, but she accumulated more than five or six times the dowry in the Duke's Mansion over the years, not to mention the money she brought back to the Du family.

After grandpa divided the dowry, he fell ill. Mother did not keep any of it. She gave half to her and half to her younger sister. She knew that mother was resentful of grandma and did not want to see anything she had saved.

Grandma's dowry items were displayed in public and brought into the Liu family, and the rest of the money became her private property and was not included in the dowry list.

Ma was shocked by her daughter-in-law's dowry. She was intimidated by her daughter-in-law just by looking at her dowry, not to mention that she was a noblewoman. Ma was always insecure about her second daughter-in-law. "I know your feelings, but Liu Jia's dowry is good enough."

Ma thought that if her husband had not said that the family could not be divided yet, she would really want to divide the family.

Ning Ting understood her mother-in-law's temper better after getting married, and she was sure that it would not change, "Then I will take it back."

Ma let out a sigh of relief. She did not lie. The daughter's dowry was good enough. Mingteng was a good man and the Zhou family was kind and righteous. They had already given a generous betrothal gift, which the daughter had to take back. Adding the betrothal gift prepared by their family, it was enough.

Two days later, the road to Zhangzhou was finally open, and the team transporting supplies arrived at the city of Zhangzhou, but the team stopped at the city gate and did not move forward.

The prefect of Zhangzhou has been very uneasy these days. When he heard the news that he would not enter the city, his eyelids twitched even more. "I have a bad feeling."

The judge was also worried, "There was nothing wrong with our disaster relief procedures."

The prefect of Zhangzhou squinted at the judge and asked, "Has the identity of the people in the inn not been found out yet?"

The judge shook his head, "The news of the city being closed due to heavy snow has spread slowly these days. This group of people left the city a few days ago and never left the inn again. We failed to buy them, and the servants are very strict."

The prefect of Zhangzhou frowned, "I think it's the prince of Qi Wangfu. In the past two years, the prince of Qi Wangfu has been following the Prince of Qin. He is about the same age."

The judge thought so too.

Well, Zhou Shuren thought that he would be exposed soon, but they ended up thinking about Xu Chen. With Xu Chen outside following Prince Qin to do things, it would be easy to confuse the information.

The prince narrowed his eyes and said, "Let them stay outside the city."

Now that it is no longer snowing and there are thick tents, there will be no problem staying outside. He wants to wait for the action of the prefect of Zhangzhou.

The prince touched the written letter. This was what he had investigated in the past few days. Did he really think that he could just keep an eye on them all the time and that the masters in the palace could keep them safe?

Zhou Shuren was not as angry as the prince. In ancient times, transportation and information were not convenient, and the government of each state was rooted in major families. He had seen too much over the years, and he could guess everything without investigating it clearly.

Zhou Shuren glanced at Lord Yan. Ever since the warning, Lord Yan had been having trouble getting along with the Crown Prince. He could understand that habits were not so easy to change, but if he didn't say anything now, the Emperor would be disappointed.

Zhou Shuren glanced at the guard guarding the door. This man was the emperor's confidant. When the emperor was still the prince, this man followed behind the emperor. Now he is the emperor's eyes.

Zhou Shuren asked, "Your Highness, are you going to personally lead the disaster relief efforts?"

The prince shook his head, "No, I will choose the right person to lead the disaster relief."

He was young and did not need to personally build up his reputation among the people. As a prince, he needed to learn how to make good use of talents.

Zhou Shuren's eyes were filled with relief, the prince was young but he was already able to fight steadily and he knew his own status very well, which was very good. The prince looked at the big picture instead of forgetting what it meant to be a prince for the sake of a little popularity.

The prince saw Minister Zhou nod slightly and smiled even more deeply. He seldom received praise from Minister Zhou. In recent years, he had few opportunities for Minister Zhou to teach him, but every time he went to ask for advice, he benefited a lot, not in terms of knowledge, but in terms of thinking.
