Chapter 1628: Grudges Disappeared

Two days later at noon, Zhou Shuren received news at the Ministry of Revenue that Prince Liang had passed away. It was said that he left peacefully and with a smile on his face.

Zhou Shuren put down the brush in his hand with mixed feelings. King Liang just left like that without any worries.

Qiu Yan sighed, "I heard something bad yesterday. The Emperor Retired is still staying in the Prince Liang's Mansion. I don't know how he is doing?"

Zhou Shuren thought to himself, he must be very sad, his son died!

The news of Prince Liang's death spread throughout the capital. The Prince Liang's Mansion was already empty. The funeral was prepared early, and there was no chaos in the Prince Liang's Mansion.

Zhou Shuren heard a lot of news, such as that King Liang had prepared burial objects long ago and was always preparing for his future life.

When she left the government office, Zhulan learned more news, "The retired emperor is still in the Prince Liang's mansion."

Zhou Shuren, "Prince Liang must have said something to the Emperor when he left."

Zhulan said, "Let's go to Prince Liang's mansion tomorrow."

"Well, let's go together."

Zhu Lan lowered her voice, "The prince went to the Liang Palace today, and he hasn't left yet."

"The Crown Prince is concerned for the Emperor Emeritus, and is afraid that something unexpected will happen to the Emperor Emeritus."

Zhulan pointed to the sky and said, "I wonder what it feels like to be in the office."

Zhou Shuren changed his clothes and said, "It has nothing to do with us. Let's just keep a low profile recently."

The capital has been quiet recently. The attitude of the retired emperor makes people dare not act presumptuously. Who knows whether the retired emperor will be angry because of King Liang.

After breakfast the next day, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren went to Prince Liang's Mansion together, followed by Li and Zhou Lao Da.

The gate of Prince Liang's mansion, which had been tightly closed until now, was now wide open. Many carriages were parked at the gate, all because there were too many visitors to the retired emperor, who had avoided him before, but now they came one after another.

Zhou Shuren helped his wife into the house. The whiteness of the whole courtyard of Prince Liang's Mansion was depressing. The crying sounds could be heard from far away. The cries made the whole mansion even more depressing.

For Zhou Shuren and Zhulan, it was their first time attending a royal funeral, but they were not in the mood to watch the show.

When he arrived at the mourning hall, Zhou Shuren saw the emperor sitting there, and the prince standing behind him.

The prince of Liang came forward and said, "Lord Zhou, please come in, old lady."

Zhou Shuren looked at the prince of Liang. The boy's eyes were red and swollen, and the sadness on his body was tangible. It can be seen how good the relationship between the prince of Liang and his son was. "My condolences."

Prince Liang invited again, then stepped aside.

Zhou Shuren looked at the coffin and took a deep breath. When a person dies, he takes everything with him.

When Zhou Shuren made way for the person behind him, he was called over by the emperor, "Walk with me."

Zhou Shuren glanced at the prince, who did not follow him. He nodded to him and left with the emperor.

The retired emperor did not go into the garden, but walked out of the palace. After leaving the palace, he got on a carriage and went all the way to the place where fine seeds were cultivated. The retired emperor motioned Zhou Shuren to sit down, and then there was silence.

Zhou Shuren said nothing. The emperor didn't need comfort at this moment. He had been through many storms and there was no news yesterday that he fainted from grief, which meant that he had calmed down.

After two quarters of an hour, the emperor finally spoke, "It's not good to have too many sons."

Zhou Shuren thought to himself that having too many sons in the royal family was not a good thing.

The Emperor continued, "It is better for the Fourth Master to be dead."

Zhou Shuren didn't even raise his head. Only the emperor himself could say this, why not let others say it?

At noon, at the Ningzhou government office, Yuyi got off the carriage and saw her parents at a glance. As soon as she stood up, she ran over, regardless of etiquette, "Dad, Mom."

She had been away from her parents the longest, and she missed them so much.

Mrs. Dong hugged the eldest daughter and touched her face. The daughter had grown up, her eyes were red, "Okay, okay."

Chang Lian's nose became sore as he watched the crying mother and daughter. His eldest daughter had grown up so much, and he had missed so much.

Yujiao also ran over, "Mom, I miss you and Dad."

Mrs. Dong touched her young daughter and her youngest son. The children were safe. She finally felt relieved. "Mother missed you, too."

"Third uncle, third aunt."

Chang Lian turned his head and looked at his nephew, staring at his face in a trance, "You really look like your grandmother."

Minghui smiled and said, "Indeed, they look more and more alike as they grow older."

Chang Lian heard his uncle and aunt's voices again and turned around, "Who is this?"

Yu Yueyang said, "Uncle, my name is Yu Yueyang."

Chang Lian, "!!"

Is this his future son-in-law? The meeting was a bit sudden, it wasn't written in his parents' book!

Mrs. Dong was also stunned. Then she thought that it was not the right place to talk outside. "Let's talk about it later."

Yu Yueyang looked calm on the outside, but he was actually very nervous. He followed Yu Yi into the yard and didn't even dare to raise his head to peek at her.

Arriving at the yard, Chang Lian sat down feeling unhappy, as he saw his daughter's joy dwindle instantly. She stared at her future son-in-law with critical eyes, feeling upset. How could a man have two dimples?

Mrs. Dong took her two daughters to the back. Yuyi left without hesitation because she was not worried about her fiancé.

Chang Lian asked, "Why did you come to Ningzhou?"

He didn't believe that his parents would agree, and even if they were engaged, they shouldn't come with him.

Yu Yueyang explained, "I went back to my hometown to visit my grandmother and we went along the way."

Chang Lian remained silent, so he was sent all the way to Ningzhou City. When he arrived at his future father-in-law's house, this kid didn't seem as harmless as he looked!

Minghui didn't interrupt, but thought in his heart that Yu Yueyang was indeed very brave.

How could Chang Lian not fight back? His future son-in-law had sent his daughter back all the way, and he couldn't chase her away. He narrowed his eyes and said, "You're very good."

Yu Yueyang thought it was a good thing that he was not kicked out. As for the future father-in-law's gnashing teeth, he automatically ignored it. Anyway, he got to the door smoothly!

Inside, Dong asked outside, "What's going on?"

Yuyi smiled, "That's what you saw. He sent me back and wanted to visit you and dad."

Mrs. Dong was confused. "I heard that your future husband has two dimples, but he looks a little immature."

He looks like he can't do anything. Wouldn't that be tiring for the girl?

Yu Jiao interrupted, "Grandma said that my future brother-in-law is very courageous. This lady has seen clearly that my future brother-in-law has a lot of plans in his mind. Mom, don't be fooled by his appearance. He dares to come to my house!"

Dong chuckled, "Then I won't worry about it."

Her view on her son-in-law is different from her husband's. She hopes someone can protect her daughter and escort her all the way here. She is satisfied with her future son-in-law.

In the capital, Zhou Shuren accompanied the emperor for a long time until he took the initiative to say, "I'm going back to the palace, you should go back too."

Zhou Shuren was also tired of sitting, and watched the retired emperor leave. The retired emperor did not dare to tell the empress dowager. Alas, he turned out to be the only person the retired emperor could confide in!

Zhou Shuren was dressed in casual clothes. He didn't have to go back to the Ministry of Revenue today. When he thought about having a rest, the depression in his heart disappeared and he was left with only happiness.

In the palace, the retired emperor came back and went straight to the government hall. When he entered the study, he saw his eldest son was furious. He took out a letter from his arms and said, "This is a letter from the fourth son to you."

The emperor did not peek at the content. This was the letter given to him by the fourth prince before he died. It was the only request he made to him.

The emperor came back to his senses and picked up the letter. It was not long, and he quickly read it and handed it to his father, "You can also take a look."
