Chapter 324 Knowing Too Much

Zheng Hong came with a gift. When he saw Wu Chun, he was stunned. He knew Wu Chun didn't dare to come to his house. He was thinking of saying something for Wu Chun. What a coincidence, "You're here. It seems I don't need to say anything."

Wu Chun cried with tears in her eyes and a particularly nasal tone, "I'm sorry to have made you worry."

Zheng Hong was indeed worried. After Wu Dong's death, Wu Chun was like a madman, slashing people recklessly on the battlefield, and several times he was bloodthirsty. Wu Chun's ferocity scared the enemy so much that they dared not come forward. It was all thanks to Wu Chun that he was able to capture the leader of the tribe!

Later, the war ended, but Wu Chun was still in a state of depression. He had been worried all the way to the capital this time, and he was really happy to see the Zhou family, as Wu Chun could at least vent his emotions. However, Wu Chun didn't dare to come after waiting for a long time, and he was about to go back. He was really afraid that Wu Chun would escape, so he came.

Zheng Hong patted Wu Chun on the shoulder and said, "We are not only brothers, you also saved my life. I am relieved to see that you are okay."

Wu Chun's eyes turned red again. He could save others but couldn't protect his own brother. "Yeah."

Zhulan drank a few sips of tea to moisten her throat. Zheng Hong brought a lot of things to her house. She saw the oranges and longans and asked, "Why did you bring such expensive gifts?"

Zheng Hong said, "This is all a gift from His Majesty. I don't like sweet things and it would be spoiled if I took it home due to the long journey and the bumpy ride. I brought it back because I thought my aunt has children. Children like sweet things."

Wu Chun slapped his head in frustration. He was only thinking about how to meet his aunt. He came empty-handed. "Aunt, His Majesty has given me a lot of gifts. I will bring them over tomorrow."

Zhulan refused, "No, I don't lack fruits here, you can send yours back home."

Wu Chun pursed his lips and said, "Send it back. There's no way they can eat it at home."

Zhulan was speechless. Didn't that mean she could eat it? That meant she had a big heart?

Wu Chun realized that he had said the wrong thing. Seeing his aunt's face change, he fell silent. This time, he could not deliver the fruit.

Zhulan took a deep breath, "Aren't you going back home?"

Wu Chun also wanted to go back and kowtow to his grandfather and father, but he couldn't. "We have to go back to the northwest in three days."

Zhou Shuren asked, "What achievements have you made?"

Zheng Hong was sitting aside drinking tea, and Wu Chun told this himself.

Wu Chunsha said hoarsely, "Zheng Hong and I captured the leader of a tribe."

Because Zheng Hong was his superior, his contribution was not as great as Zheng Hong's. He also had to thank the Zheng family for not taking too much credit for his contribution, otherwise he would not have had the opportunity to go to Beijing.

Zhou Shuren guessed, "Who are you now?"

Wu Chun took a deep breath, "I was appointed as a military general, fifth rank, and awarded a thousand taels of silver, and also got a two-story house. This time I will be stationed in Lizhou Prefecture with Zheng Hong. I wrote to Grandpa two days ago, asking if Grandpa would move his family to Lizhou Prefecture."

There will be no more wars on the northwest border in the future. He was lucky to have saved Zheng Hong, and the Zheng family was not greedy for credit and also asked for credit for him, otherwise he didn't know how many more years he would have to endure before he could make a breakthrough.

Zhulan is a adopted daughter. Although she has not had contact with my father for a long time, from my father's actions, I can see that the Yang family will definitely move to Lizhou Prefecture. The Yang family had three grandsons, one died and one was seriously injured, but only then did they have the current foundation. Now that the foundation is in place, they can develop slowly. There is no reason for my father not to go to Lizhou Prefecture.

Zhou Shuren looked at Zheng Hong. Zheng Hong must have received a bigger reward.

Zheng Hong left after a short while. He came for Wu Chun, and now Wu Chun was fine, so it was better for him, an outsider, to leave.

Zheng Hong left and there were no outsiders around. Wu Chun didn't know what to say. After venting his emotions, he felt empty inside. No matter how much he said, it couldn't fill the hole in his heart.

Wu Chunqiang cheered up and said, "Aunt, I am now living in the house that was given to me. I'll leave the address with you. I'll need you to take care of me when I'm not in the capital."

Zhulan was also very sad, "Okay."

Zhou Shuren sighed inwardly, "You haven't rested for a long time. I'll ask the boss to clean up the house and you can stay here today!"

Wu Chun didn't want to go back to the house either. In the house, besides the servants and maids he had given as gifts, he was the only master. "Yes."

Zhou Shuren stood up. As his uncle, he was not close to Wuchun, so he decided to leave the matter to his aunt Zhulan!

Zhulan saw Wu Chun's eyelids were heavy, which meant he was too sleepy to relax. "I haven't told you yet, your uncle has become a prostitute, and he will take part in the imperial examination next year."

Wu Chun became energetic again, "I was wondering why my aunt and uncle came to the capital."

Wu Chun had just been thinking about himself, but now he noticed, "Aunt, is this house new?"

"Well, I bought it a few months ago, let me tell you......"

Zhulan told Wuchun everything that happened in the past year and what happened at home.

Wu Chun was a little dazed. His uncle had hidden it so deeply that he had not noticed it for so many years. He pursed his lips. His uncle was too scheming. He had seen many men who got rich, became officials, and married concubines. Although his uncle valued his aunt very much, but after becoming an official and seeing so many beauties, how could his uncle really not be tempted?

Zhulan blinked, not knowing why Wuchun suddenly looked serious, "What's wrong?"

Wu Chun spoke with a murderous look, "Aunt, if your uncle betrays you in the future, don't bear it yourself. Although I am a worthless general, I saved Zheng Hong and I will have a real job when I return. The Zheng family owes me a favor. If your uncle dares to betray you, I will definitely punish him."

Zhulan, "........"

I'm touched, but I don't know whether I should tell Wu Chun that your uncle and Mr. Zheng have been in an affair for a long time.

Wu Chun was anxious when she saw her aunt was silent. "Did my uncle really have any clues? I knew my uncle was scheming."

In the past two years, every time he saw his uncle, he was scared and felt that he was seen through. Now that his uncle has become a prostitute, it has been confirmed that his uncle is extremely cunning.

Zhou Shuren stood at the door, "........"

How did Zhulan comfort Wuchun when he just went out for a while? How did he become a traitor in Wuchun's eyes?

Boss Zhou stood behind his father, "......."

My cousin is so awesome! The generals are so brave that they even want to deal with my dad!

When Zhulan saw Zhou Shuren coming in with a gloomy face, she opened her mouth. She just wanted to comfort Wuchun by telling him the history of the Zhou family's rise. Unexpectedly, Wuchun added a little too much, "Well, your uncle is not a treacherous person."

Wu Chun noticed that his uncle came in, but he felt that his aunt was frightened by his uncle, so she didn't dare to say anything and just stared at his uncle.

Zhou Lao Da felt that he should do something to prevent his eldest cousin from misunderstanding his father. "Eldest cousin, you misunderstood my father. I swear on my head that my father will never let my mother down."

The doubt in Wu Chun's eyes disappeared a little. His cousin was not a liar and his words were highly credible.

Seeing the effect, Zhou Laoda said, "Cousin, you have to believe me. As a son, I know it best. Let me tell you, my father not only pours water for my mother to wash her feet every day, but also looks down on us as if we are not his biological children. My father has to stay by my mother's side when he is studying. Moreover, when Li gets close to my mother, my father would turn his eyes away. Sometimes, I feel that in my father's eyes, except for my mother, all of us in the family are redundant."

Zhulan, "........"

She finally knew who Ming Teng was showing off and who he was responsible for exposing, and now she found the real culprit!
