Chapter 1626: Don’t Take the Blame
Zhou Shuren signaled his wife to use more force when massaging his shoulders, "If I don't do something ruthless, I won't be able to penetrate the face of the Yong'an Duke's Mansion."
"How can the Yong'an Duke's Mansion still have the nerve to do this? You've exposed it all today."
Zhou Shuren recalled today's operation, "Ahem, I think today's operation can be given full marks."
Zhu Lan chuckled, "You've scared a lot of people. This should also be true for Yu Yi. Those who are not sincere won't dare to come to your house."
Zhou Shuren, "I am such a good grandfather."
Zhulan also felt that when Shuren looked back at the time when he first came here, he had changed so much.
Zhou Shuren added, "I don't know where Yuyi and her group are. There are so many kids without an adult accompanying them. I wonder if they got into trouble on the way?"
"Minghui and Yujiao are both masters of enjoyment, don't worry."
"You say that as if you're not worried."
Zhulan squeezed Shuren's shoulders hard, "Hmm?"
"Okay, okay, I'm worried, I'm worried, but Yujiao is indeed coquettish."
Zhu Lan laughed, "Changzhong won't get married, and the other families don't want any more children. Yujiao is the youngest granddaughter, and she has many older brothers and sisters who pamper her. She won't tolerate any grievances."
This girl is not one to be bullied. When the eldest daughter-in-law brought Yujiao to a banquet, she was not polite at all to anyone who pissed her off.
Zhou Shuren thought of his cute little granddaughter, and also of Minghui and Yuyi. "The house became a lot quieter after they left."
Zhulan, "Now that the two most noisy ones are gone, it's quiet now."
Zhou Shuren chuckled, "The third brother should have received the letter."
"We should be here soon."
The child wrote a letter before leaving Beijing, and the day had come.
Ningzhou, Chang Lian returned to the government office from the government office, but he did not see his wife. He asked in confusion and saw a letter from the capital, and then went to the empty yard.
Mrs. Dong was watching the servants moving furniture. She heard footsteps and turned around. "He's back."
Chang Lian said in a cheerful tone, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I was so happy that I forgot about it and was only thinking about cleaning the yard."
Chang Lian really missed his children. "I never thought that mother would agree to let Yuyi and the others come over."
Dong, "Didn't you read the letter carefully?"
Chang Lian was unhappy again. Of course, he looked carefully and realized that he couldn't go back to see his eldest daughter's wedding. The daughter missed them and came to accompany them. She said sourly, "How did the child grow up so fast?"
Dong also lamented, "Time flies by so fast."
Chang Lian said quietly, "I will write to my parents later. It is not too late for Yuyi to get married even though she is already 15 years old. Please keep her for a few more years."
He, as a father, hasn't even noticed anything yet, but his daughter is about to get married. It's so sad!
Mrs. Dong felt sad and thought about Yuyi's dowry. "It's better to marry later. I can save more dowry."
Chang Lian touched his nose after hearing this and said, "Our family has spent a lot of money in the past few years."
Mrs. Dong also felt sorry for him, "They all did good things."
The couple didn’t know that their future son-in-law might come with them. Who told them that Yu Yueyang didn’t come to visit when Zhulan wrote the letter?
The next day, Zhou Shuren left the morning court and found that Elder Wen and others did not even look at him. Some of them even walked around him. "I don't have a headache today."
Wang Ju, "I'm a little afraid of you."
There was such a commotion yesterday that even my father was stunned.
Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and said, "It's good this way. I can have some peace and quiet for a few days."
Wang Ju asked in a puzzled tone, "Are you really out of control?"
Why did he not believe it? He was so confused that he couldn't sleep well the whole night.
Zhou Shuren said seriously, "The emperor even invited a royal doctor for me yesterday. What do you think?"
Wang Ju's doubts disappeared. The emperor couldn't possibly help Zhou Shuren. It seemed that he was really dizzy. "Ah, you are really old."
Zhou Shuren, "...I think we can stop being friends for a while."
Bah, he can live another hundred years!
Wang Ju was dumbfounded. "No, we have been friends for many years, so how can we break up?"
Zhou Shuren said quietly, "I broke up with my first friend. I have always been a straightforward person."
Wang Ju, "......"
When Zhou Shuren turned around, he saw the retired emperor walking towards him step by step. Wang Ju also saw it, and knew that the retired emperor would not look for him, so he left first with tact.
Zhou Shuren greeted the Emperor, "Your Majesty looks rosy. Did you sleep well last night?"
The Emperor, "Slept well."
He had been reminiscing about it these past few days, and as a result he had been sulking and not getting enough rest. It was a pity that he didn't see it with his own eyes yesterday.
Zhou Shuren saw that the emperor was in casual clothes, "Is the emperor going to leave the palace?"
The Emperor stroked his beard and said, "Well, the Duke of Yong'an followed me to conquer the world. I will go and ask him a few questions."
Zhou Shuren, "Why not summon her to the palace?"
The Emperor said quietly, "Because the Duke of Yong'an is ill."
The imperial physician I invited yesterday was not faking illness.
Zhou Shuren, "This has nothing to do with me. When I left, the old Duke wanted to tear me apart. I won't take the blame for this."
The Emperor said, "Well, I'll go scare him too."
Zhou Shuren, "......as long as you are happy."
The emperor was very happy. If the old man had died, the Yong'an Mansion would have been gone. It was a pity that he never found a chance to take back the title.
Zhou Shuren looked at the emperor's brisk steps and said, "Forget it, your Highness. I have things to do in the Ministry of Revenue."
He'd better not go with him, for he's really afraid that the old duke will be mad to death. It's not easy for the old duke to live!
In the canal, the ship docked last night and set off again today. Yuyi and her friends liked to stroll on the deck in the morning and enjoy the morning scenery. Yuyi also painted a few pictures.
Yu Yueyang accompanied his fiancée, "I drew a picture yesterday, can you help me take a look at it later?"
Yuyi, "Okay."
She and Yueyang both knew how to paint, but they were not proficient in it. They could kill time by painting when they were bored on the boat.
A cry of "Ouch".
Yuyi and the others looked towards the location of the sound. Miss Liu was lying on the deck. She had fallen and it hurt a lot, and her face was a little distorted.
Yuyi burst out laughing, and Yu Yueyang also laughed.
How could Minghui not be able to avoid Miss Liu in the martial arts competition? In fact, men are more flexible than women. Those who did not avoid throwing themselves into her arms were all attracted by her beauty. "Miss Liu, my men will not help strange women. Get up by yourself."
Miss Liu blushed. Wasn't she beautiful? The man in front of her was like a blind man, not showing any sympathy for her. "Sir, I'm hurt."
Ming Hui took a step back instead, "If it hurts, just get up by yourself. Don't look at me. I'm afraid of being scammed."
Yu Jiao couldn't stop laughing, "Miss Liu, it's indecent for you to lie down like that."
Miss Liu's eyes were red, and this time she really wanted to cry, "I just didn't stand steadily."
Yu Jiao pointed at her eyes and said, "I'm not blind. I just couldn't stand straight and fell into my brother's arms. Miss Liu, please get up."
Alas, she still couldn't say anything too harsh!
Minghui rubbed Yujiao's little head, took Mingling's hand and walked towards Yuyi. He had seen a lot of people throwing themselves into the arms of others in the capital.
Miss Liu felt really upset. She was about to shed tears this time. If there weren't a few bedrooms on the top floor, she would have lost all face today.
Yuyi tapped her sister's forehead, "You."
Yu Jiao snorted, "Am I right? She should bear the consequences for not giving up when things are difficult. I've been being polite."
