Chapter 1582: Injustice

After Zhulan finished reading the letter, she put it on the table. The letter was written by Ming Qing and mainly described the changes in the family. There were many engagements recently, and they were either with nearby landlords or the daughters of minor officials.

This was not the main reason why Zhulan frowned. The main reason was that the Zhou family wanted more people to come to Beijing.

However, now is not a good time to go to Beijing, alas.

At this time, Zhao came in with a happy look on her face, "Mom, I have good news for you."

Zhu Lan's brows relaxed and she smiled and said, "But Lin Qing has good news?"

Zhao is going to be a grandmother, which is different from the feeling of being a grandmother. "I knew I couldn't hide it from you. Lin Qing felt a little nauseous while eating this morning. No, I asked a doctor to check her pulse, and now she is pregnant. It has been almost two months."

Zhulan counted the days and said, "This happened right after we got married."

Zhao, "Yeah, oh, I thought I had to wait a while, who would have thought the baby would come so soon."

She also knew how long it would take Ming Teng to have a child, so she was not in a hurry. Unexpectedly, her son turned out to be so amazing.

Zhu Lan asked, "Have you gone to the Lin residence to announce the good news?"

Zhao patted his forehead and said, "Look how happy I am. I will send someone to deliver the message right away."

"good."

After that, Zhulan asked Qingxue to prepare a gift for Lin Qing. Then she couldn't help laughing. Fortunately, her family was getting richer and richer, otherwise she wouldn't be able to afford gifts for the younger generation.

Mrs. Zhao was really happy. She went back after sitting for a while because she was worried about her daughter-in-law.

As soon as the news from Zhou's Mansion was delivered to Lin's Mansion, Lin Qing's mother came, obviously happy about Lin Qing's luck. Not long after Lin Qing's mother arrived, Ning Zhiqi's wife, Song, came to visit.

Zhulan hadn't seen Song for a long time. She looked very haggard today. "You don't look very well. Have you seen a doctor?"

Song, "I've been too busy lately."

Zhulan motioned for Song to drink tea, "You came here not just to see me, but is there something wrong?"

Song was indeed embarrassed. "Ning Ming was annoyed by the Yu family, so she wanted me to help her find a match and arrange a marriage in advance. I have searched for good girls here, but none of them are suitable for Ning Ming, so I came to ask for help from the old lady."

Zhulan thought that if he was just thinking about her granddaughter, everything would be fine. "You know a lot of ladies, but you don't have a suitable one?"

Song curled her lips and said, "There are suitable ones, but I think that with the entanglement of the Yu family, the suitable ones have become unsuitable."

Zhulan was surprised. It seemed that there were quite a few stories involved, but she had never paid much attention to them. Mainly because Ning Ming had never visited Yu's house because he was in mourning after her death, which made her pay even less attention to it.

Zhulan, "Ningming is such a soft-hearted kid."

Song laughed and said, "Ning Ming only tolerated it for his mother's sake, but now the friendship is completely gone."

Zhu Lan did not interfere in the affairs of the Ning family. She smiled and agreed, "I'll help you look for it. Hey, this child has had a hard time too."

Song thought it was not easy, "Thank you for troubling me."

If her husband hadn't begged her again and again, she really wouldn't have come in person. Her husband asked the old lady to help with the matchmaking in order to improve Ning Ming's marriage. Now Ning Ming is in trouble because the Yu family has a bad reputation, and no family wants to have a troublesome relative.

When leaving the government office, Zhou Shuren was returning home with his son who had come to pick him up. Halfway through the journey, the carriage was stopped by someone.

Zhou Shuren didn't look forward, he just heard someone shouting, "Please help me, Lord Zhou. I have been wronged. Please save me, Lord Zhou, so that my family can rest in peace."

Zhou Shuren, "!!"

No, he was the Minister of Revenue, in charge of silver and grain. This case had nothing to do with him.

Chang Yi turned his head to look at his father and whispered, "Dad, this is a noisy street. He did it on purpose."

Zhou Shuren, "Yes, it was intentional. Why didn't you wait for me secretly at the entrance of the Ministry of Revenue? Why did you have to wait for me on the busy street?"

There was already a lot of discussion on the street, and he knew without even looking that the man talking must be miserable, because only miserable people could arouse sympathy.

Zhou Shuren was not in a hurry to think about who was responsible. It could be any of a few people. He did not believe that there was no one behind the man. Haha, it was still the same old saying. If there was really a grievance, why not secretly look for him? This is the way of thinking of a normal person.

Chang Yi listened to the discussion outside the carriage, "Dad, we can't leave."

Zhou Shuren listened to the loud shouts outside the carriage, the voices contained grievances, "Since we can't leave, let's go down and take a look."

It's really interesting. Many people have plotted against him over the years, but this is the first time he has encountered such a tactic.

Zhou Shuren got off the carriage, and the people around him made way for him. They were all very nervous, fearing that there might be a deeper conspiracy and that the Marquis might get hurt.

Chang Yi was also on the sidelines, keeping vigilant, fearing that someone might take advantage of the situation.

Zhou Shuren looked at the man kneeling on the ground and kowtowing. The man looked to be in his thirties, wearing a coarse cloth suit with frayed cuffs, which showed that the man's financial situation was very bad. His eyes fell on the man's hands, and then looked at the petition that the man was holding high.

Zhou Shuren didn't say anything, and no one dared to comment for a while. The class system in ancient times was too strict, and everyone was afraid of getting into trouble. There were really not many people who were stupid enough.

It was already difficult to live in ancient times, so who would involve themselves in trouble for someone they didn't know?

The man kowtowed with great effort, his forehead was bruised and his lips turned pale. "Lord Zhou, I heard in my hometown that you care about the people, so I bravely came to the capital. I had a hard time on the way to the capital. I heard that you are upright, so I risked my life to stop the carriage. Please save my life, Lord Zhou."

Zhou Shuren still didn't say anything. Chang Yiqi was very angry. What do you mean? My father cares about the people. What will the emperor think if he hears this? And if my father doesn't help, then my father is not upright?

Chang Yi was so angry that he wanted to hit someone. He clenched his fists and seemed to be unable to control his hands.

Zhou Shuren looked at the man kneeling in front of him with a half-smile, but it was a pity that no one dared to comment. The man could only perform on his own, and it was quite embarrassing to perform on his own without the cooperation of the audience.

Zhou Shuren was so engrossed in watching the show that the man spoke more and more, and his voice became lower and lower.

Zhou Shuren was furious. He had already returned home to change clothes and would be able to eat soon. He squinted his eyes and said, "I have been busy all day. I am tired at my age. What did you just say? Please tell me in more detail."

Chang Yi, "!!"

Dad did it on purpose.

The man was also a little dumbfounded. Seeing Zhou Hou's sincere look, his lips trembled. He also heard the people around him caring about Zhou Hou, so the man could only repeat himself.

Zhou Shuren waited halfway, "Stop, you said you escaped from your enemies? That's not right, if you said you missed a child, that's possible, but how could you, an adult, be missed? Tell me more in detail."

Chang Yi, "......"

The man was a little dumbfounded, and Changyi smiled.

The man was a little panicked. Why did they have to talk on the street? Why not find a hidden place?
