Chapter 1514: Count it on yourself

Changyi and Mingyun were worried and wanted to stay a little longer, but Zhou Shuren waved his hand and said, "You guys go back, let us be quiet for a while."

Changyi's nose was sore and his eyes were red. It was the first time that his father couldn't suppress his sadness.

Zhulan waited for her son and grandson to leave, then wiped her eyes with her finger. She didn't want to cry. Even though she knew there was little hope of Ming Teng surviving the avalanche, she still felt lucky deep down in her heart, so she couldn't cry. She knew her grandson would be fine.

Zhou Shuren held his daughter-in-law's hand and said, "Cry if you want to."

"Don't cry."

Zhou Shuren exerted force with his hands, and finally loosened them. He didn't want to close his eyes. Once he closed his eyes, he could see Ming Teng's appearance from childhood to adulthood. Some vague memories became clearer.

As Changyi and his companions returned to their respective courtyards, everyone in the backyard knew that something had happened to Mingteng.

Ran Wan asked the maid to take her son and daughter away, and asked anxiously, "Is the news accurate?"

Mingyun nodded, "You can talk to your sister-in-law."

Ran Wan felt that she was too cruel to her sister-in-law. When Ming Teng was away on business, her sister-in-law mostly made clothes for Ming Teng. Every stitch was filled with longing. Now she couldn't bring herself to tell her sister-in-law that Ming Teng was in trouble. "Why not keep it a secret for now?"

Mingyun smiled bitterly, "We can't keep it secret. The Liu family must have heard the news by now. It's better for us to tell them than to tell my sister-in-law's family."

Ran Wan held the handkerchief tightly, her eyes were red. In the years since she got married, her younger brothers and sisters were very kind and cared about her, the eldest sister-in-law. When Ming Teng got into trouble, she couldn't stop crying and choked up, "I'll go over after a while."

Mingyun covered his eyes with his hands. He was suddenly glad that his parents were not at home. If they were, they would not be able to bear it. He did not want to write a letter to his parents. He wanted to keep it a secret from them until the result came out.

In the second room, the teacup in Zhao's hand broke, Yudie cried silently, Mingrui laughed dryly, "Dad, you can't joke like that, you must be joking."

Chang Yi, "Do you think I would make fun of your second brother?"

Mingrui's throat was dry and he couldn't say a word. He was silent for a while and muttered, "My second brother is so lucky. Everyone in the capital says that my second brother is lucky. Dad, my second brother will be fine. Yes, my second brother will be fine."

Zhao also believes in good fortune. "Mingrui is right. Who wouldn't envy Mingteng for being so lucky? Good fortune will come to those who are lucky. Mingteng will be fine."

Changyi opened his mouth and let out a sigh.

Su Xuan from the fourth room was confused. Chang Zhi ordered the maid to pack her luggage and take out the thick cloak, etc.

Su Xuan came back to her senses and helped to pack up, mumbling, "Bring some more medicine, it will be useful when Ming Teng is found. Yes, bring the doctor too, you must bring Ming Teng back."

Yuwen, "Dad, Mom is right, bring more medicine."

Mingjia stretched out his hand, "Mom, give me the key to the warehouse."

Chang Zhi was sad. His wife and children did not believe that Ming Teng would be in trouble. He said in a nasal voice, "Okay, I'll take everything with me."

The next morning, Zhou Shuren's eyes were swollen. Zhulan pretended not to notice that Shuren had secretly cried the night before.

Zhulan was worried, "Why don't you just not go to court today?"

Zhou Shuren frowned, "Everyone is waiting to see our family's reaction. I must go to the morning court. If I don't go, it will be confirmed that Ming Teng is in trouble. Before there is a result, no one can say that Ming Teng is gone."

Zhulan, "Then take care of yourself."

"Um."

Many people were surprised to see Zhou Shuren attend the morning court normally, but looking at Zhou Shuren's expression, it didn't change much from usual.

Wang Ju knows Zhou Shuren very well. He is just forcing himself to do this.

After the morning court session, they originally wanted to discuss in twos and threes, but when Marquis Zhou glanced at them, they all quickened their pace and left.

Lord Qi wanted to open his mouth and stab him, but was stopped by Lord Wen. Lord Qi asked, "Why are you stopping me?"

Elder Wen wanted to kick someone when he was down. If someone else got into trouble, he would not care. But Rong Mingteng was different. "Rong Mingteng inherited the Rong family. You are kicking someone when they are down and you can't see the Rong family getting better?"

Lord Qi was so eager to take action that he ignored it, "He got it easy."

Master Wen, "Anyway, he is not feeling well, so what if he is trying to hold on? He knows best whether he is in pain or not."

Lord Qi laughed, "I can drink two more glasses of wine today."

Zhou Shuren was not deaf, and Lord Qi's laughter was too harsh for his ears. He lowered his eyelids, and moved his fingertips inside his official uniform, hiding all his thoughts in his heart.

Li Zhao asked, "Are you okay?"

Zhou Shuren raised his head, "Do I look bad?"

After careful observation, Li Zhao found that the old man was becoming more and more skilled at hiding his emotions. "I'm glad you're okay."

Several more people came to ask questions, and Zhou Shuren replied to them one by one. After sending everyone away, he had already walked out of the palace.

Wang Ju followed him into the carriage and said, "Don't pretend in front of me."

Zhou Shuren relaxed his back and said, "I'm fine."

Wang Ju, "Didn't you always say that Teng is lucky and will find him?"

"Um."

Wang Ju didn't say anything after that. To say anything about Ming Teng now would be like stabbing Zhou Shuren in the heart.

At the Zhou family, Zhulan sent Changzhi away and went to see Liu Jia. Mrs. Li was not at home, and without the comfort of her mother-in-law, Liu Jia should not be depressed.

When Zhulan arrived, Ran Wan was also there. Ran Wan had stayed up all night, "Grandma, you're here."

"Thanks a lot."

Ran Wan was worried about Liu Jia and stayed with her all night.

Ran Wan rubbed her brows and said, "Grandma, I'm not tired. I'm worried about Yu Lu. Yu Lu is pregnant."

Zhu Lan said, "Now that the other two branches of the Wang family have been separated, it would be easy for the Wang family to keep the news secret."

Ran Wan breathed a sigh of relief, "Grandma, my sister-in-law is lying down."

Zhulan walked into the bedroom. Liu Jia had already gotten up. Her eyes were red and swollen. She didn't know how many tears she had shed. Liu Jia was a little bit obsessed with it. "Grandma, I hurt Ming Teng."

Zhulan was stunned, "What do you mean?"

"I have never been pregnant since I got married. It must be because of my influence on Ming Teng."

Zhu Lan's face turned cold when she heard this, "Nonsense, this has nothing to do with you."

Liu Jia blamed all the mistakes on herself, thinking that she had defeated Ming Teng.

Liu Jia started crying again. Ran Wan was a little dumbfounded when she realized what was happening. She was overthinking it even though no one else had said anything. "Don't cry. You might hurt your eyes if you cry any more. I'm sure things will turn around. Don't wait for me to come back. If you get sick again, I'll be so distressed."

Ran Wan said this many times throughout the night, but to little effect.

Zhulan had a headache. "If you cry again, you will curse Mingteng."

Liu Jia stopped crying when she heard this. "I won't cry. I won't cry."

Ran Wan, "."

Zhulan sat down and said, "The better you are, the better. Look who is crying in our family?"

Liu Jia wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "Grandma, I won't cry anymore."

Zhu Lan was still worried about Liu Jia. She didn't have much energy, and Ran Wan still had two children to take care of. "I'll ask your mother to come over and keep you company later."

Ma is a very clear-headed person. Knowing that her biological mother is by Liu Jia's side, Liu Jia can be at ease.

Snow Mountain, Rongchuan sat up suddenly after hearing the report, "Only horses?"
