Chapter 1424 Joy
Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "Let your wife come to the main courtyard to eat."
Chang Yi, "......You are truly my father."
Zhou Shuren thought, if he could hide for a while, the best would be to use Changyi and his wife to distract his wife's attention.
Changyi wanted to cry. His wife either didn't get angry or was deadly when she got angry. This time it was really bad. His father used him as a shield, and his mother would also punish him.
Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and said, "Mingrui's contribution will be counted on you. Mingrui's contribution is not only to saving the prince."
Chang Yi asked hurriedly, "What other merits do you have?"
Zhou Shuren lowered his voice and said, "Mingrui discovered gold."
Chang Yi opened his mouth wide and slapped his cheek, "As expected, my son is destined to be rich."
"You are my son."
Chang Yi, "?"
Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and said, "You guys can take the money from me."
Chang Yi opened his mouth and said, "Okay, Dad is right, my old man is really good at making money." He smiled and said, "We'll follow your lead."
Zhou Shuren was satisfied, "Look at how good fortune I have inherited. As a son, you must be filial to me, your father. It is best to take all the hidden things on yourself. What do you think?"
Chang Yi, "......"
He, he is afraid of his mother too!
After returning home, Zhou Shuren stopped his son from escaping with a look, went back to the main courtyard, and motioned for his son to go in first.
Chang Yi took a deep breath and went in. The first thing he saw was the chicken feather duster on the table. He turned around and looked at his father who was sticking his head out. He sighed in his heart, thinking that it was no wonder that the old man didn't dare to come back.
Zhu Lan said quietly, "Let me see who came in. Isn't this Lord Zhou?"
Chang Yi knelt down quickly, "Mom, I was wrong. I shouldn't have kept it a secret from you, and I shouldn't have kept it from you. If you want to hit me, hit me!"
Alas, dear father, as his son, I can only protect him.
Zhulan picked up the feather duster and stroked its feathers. "What's your idea?"
Chang Yi paused for a few seconds and said firmly, "It's my idea."
Zhulan smiled and said, "Okay, let Qingxue go back with you later. I will tell your wife that I am too old to manage the household and you can be the boss now."
Chang Yi, "......Mother."
Zhulan waved her hand, "I can't control you anymore, go back. By the way, your wife spent a lot of money to buy you a lot of durian that you like today."
Chang Yi had a bad feeling, "Mom, I know how to admit my mistakes. I will leave when you calm down."
He didn't want to go back to his yard at all now.
Zhulan, "Don't stay here with me, go call your father in."
Chang Yi came out dejectedly. He couldn't help his father. "Dad, I'm going home first. You can only wish for the best."
Zhou Shuren said, "You are a useless son. What use is there for you?"
As he said this, he strode into the yard, but stopped at the door.
Changyi saw it seriously and rolled his eyes. You are so tough, just walk in with big strides, don’t be scared!
Zhou Shuren walked into the house with a smirk, "Wife, the chicken feather duster is so heavy, let me help you carry it."
Zhulan slapped the table with a feather duster, "You've become quite capable. You're quite good at keeping a secret. Think about it and tell me."
Zhou Shuren was about to say something to throw the blame, but he was choking. "I'm afraid you'll worry. You're not young anymore. I'm really afraid you can't handle it. If something happens to you, it will cost me my life."
Zhulan had lost her temper long ago, but the old man still wanted to warn her, "Is my tolerance so low?"
Zhou Shuren gave him a look and asked, "What do you think?"
Zhulan was silent. She wanted to explain but couldn't utter a word. She sighed and said, "I'm getting old."
"You put everyone in your heart."
"It's as if you didn't take it to heart."
Zhou Shuren, "Don't be angry, there won't be a next time."
Zhu Lan snorted, "Sleeping in separate rooms will teach you a lesson."
Zhou Shuren, "...Don't, wife."
People's habits are terrible. They have been together until today and they really can't live without each other.
The next day, Zhou Shuren went to court with a listless look on his face. Changyi and Changzhi were going to the government office. Changzhi looked at his second brother in confusion, "Second brother, what happened to your foot?"
Changyi moved his feet and felt some pain. He stepped on a durian shell last night. "Ah, my foot is a little twisted."
Changzhi didn't think much about it. Mingyun looked at his second uncle a few more times, then thought of Mingrui's matter and curled the corners of his mouth. His second uncle was dealt with.
After the morning court session, Zhou Shuren was drowsy and yawned as he walked. Wang Ju was puzzled, "Were you so happy that you didn't sleep last night?"
Zhou Shuren, "Yeah."
Wang Ju said hesitantly, "This is not like you!"
Zhou Shuren snorted and walked forward quickly. He still had to go back to the Ministry of Revenue to catch up!
In the days that followed, the Wen family had a hard time, especially the second branch of the Wen family, which was targeted everywhere. Not only were there casualties during this trip with the prince, but there were also injuries, especially those who were seriously injured. If they were not well taken care of, they would be useless in the future.
The emperor was not polite either. It was not until the empress had a miscarriage and had bleeding that the emperor became really angry.
Zhulan's granddaughter and grandson were sent out of the palace again. Linxi was scared, "The emperor is so scary."
She took a sneak peek and was noticed by her uncle. The emperor uncle also frightened her by withdrawing his power. She had nightmares last night and that was why she was sent out of the palace.
Zhulan touched her granddaughter's head and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Linxi didn't do anything wrong. The emperor is not cruel to Linxi."
Lin Xi knew, "Grandma, Aunt Queen will be fine, right?"
Zhu Lan nodded, "Yes, there are the best doctors in the palace, the Queen will be fine."
From her granddaughter's words, she guessed 90% of what happened. The Wen family was targeted, and the second branch of the Wen family was unwilling to be humiliated, so they tried to pass the news to the empress. The empress had a difficult pregnancy this time, and the news of the prince's assassination must have been kept secret. The empress was already worried about the prince, so it would be strange if she didn't get upset.
The whole capital was keeping an eye on the Empress, and many were happy when something happened to her.
Old Master Wen was so angry that he wanted to kill himself. He had suppressed the message and prevented the news from being passed into the palace. Well, very good, she actually passed the message secretly behind his back.
After teaching his son a lesson, Old Master Wen went to the palace to plead guilty.
Zhou Shuren went home and told his wife, "The Wen family is blinded by power because of the queen, and Old Master Wen did not discipline his son well. The emperor is not concerned about the prince and the queen, and the Wen family cannot be pacified by giving up the second branch."
The news of Master Wen leaving the palace has spread all over the capital, and Master's legs are shaking.
Zhu Lan curled her lips, "No one sympathizes with the Wen family."
The life of an empress is difficult. When she is pregnant, she has to worry about her son and also take care of her parents' family.
Three days later, news of the empress's safety spread from the palace, and the Wen family finally breathed a sigh of relief. This time, the Wen family finally behaved themselves.
In the mountain village of Huizhou, the prince didn't know what was happening in the capital. He had been staying in the village since he received the reply from his father. He had been digging for gold for several days. When the prince heard the shouting while thinking about the gold, he stood up. It was found!
