Chapter 465: Who Gave Me the Confidence?

Zhulan had a smile on her face, she knew this would be the scene. Jinzhou was not Lizhou. Lizhou was a border city with a lot of power and there wasn't so much intrigue.

Jinzhou City laughed. Any small official had a background, not to mention the Maritime Affairs Department and the Supervision Department which were already fighting each other. They were fighting with real anger. Lord Min and Lord Ran's wife were naturally not on the same side. When they were together, it was like a battlefield.

Zhulan watched calmly as the lady in the room suddenly became hesitant. She cursed in her heart that Qi had attacked Liu in front of her. To put it bluntly, she did not respect her as her master. Zhulan looked up at the sky in silence. There was indeed no need to respect her. Who made Liu's sister the mother of the third prince!

Mrs. Liu fiddled with her teacup, "Mrs. Qi can't talk nonsense. Oh, I almost forgot. Ms. Qi can never control her mouth. Half a year has passed. Has Miss Ran San found a suitable marriage?"

When Zhulan saw Qi looking at her, she had a bad feeling. Don't think that she didn't know about Miss Ran San's affairs because she came at a different time. In fact, Miss Ran San was a complete victim. Liu and Qi were fighting, and Qi was the first to plot against Liu's son. Liu ruined Miss Ran San's marriage.

Zhulan thought, these two are dangerous people!

Qi wanted to strangle Liu to death. She gave birth to a concubine. Her marriage was ruined. Qi sneered, "Thank you for your concern. Sister Liu should pay more attention to Fourth Miss Min. I sincerely hope Fourth Miss Min will have a good marriage."

Zhulan felt a chill on her back as she listened. These two people were mortal enemies. The marriages of women in ancient times were really pathetic. Even if they were rich ladies, it was either a marriage of arranged marriage or they would be targeted. It was very rare for them to marry peacefully or marry well.

Zhulan felt that she couldn't go on any longer, as she didn't want to cause any trouble on her son's full-month birthday. She said to Mrs. Song beside her, "Bring the calligraphy given by the emperor. It's Changzhong's full-month birthday today, so it's a good time to hang it up."

Mrs. Song went out swiftly, her steps were very brisk. She was originally worried that her mistress could not control her, but now she was relieved.

The room was quiet. Liu stopped talking back and looked at Yang with the rest of her eyes. It was definitely not a coincidence. Yang didn't take it earlier or later, so why did she take it now? Yang didn't want to take it out in the first place. She took it out because she saw that she and Qi were fighting, so she took it out to pressure them.

Qi glanced at him dimly but didn't seem angry. Instead, she smiled happily.

Zhulan saw it and felt that the good was not working but the bad was. She had a stomachache. Qi had fallen in love with Changzhi. Qi was much more difficult to deal with than Liu. Who made Qi have a sister who was the mother of the third prince?

Mother Song brought the framed calligraphy, and the full-moon banquet finally became quiet. At least the quarrels were no longer there. Everyone praised the emperor's calligraphy, and then praised the child as well.

The child needed to sleep, and because there were too many people, the little guy frowned. After a while, Zhulan let Liuya take the child back.

Qi asked casually, "I heard that the fourth son of the Zhou family is not at home all year round and has been studying all the time."

Zhulan was thinking, "I heard that you have investigated everything. This child is not good at household affairs. All he cares about is books. Now he is traveling with his master to study."

Qi also knew that even if she suppressed the incident, she could not cover up the resentment of the concubine. After thinking about it, she found that Zhou family was the most suitable one. "This child is pure-minded and she is a good child."

Zhu Lan thought, don't think she can't see that you are lying with your eyes open. When she couldn't make the general affairs work, the corner of your mouth twitched. She did sympathize with Miss Ran San. If it was really strange, it was hard to say who to blame. Blame Liu? Lord Ran and Qi did a lot. In the final analysis, as long as Lord Ran got involved, no one in the Ran family could stay out of it.

Zhulan sighed, the Zhou family was just like this. Now the children of the Zhou family enjoyed the status and glory brought by Zhou Shuren, but there was a price to pay. Take the Zhao family's shock for example, and the name of the youngest son. The dangers behind it in the future will only increase, not decrease.

Fortunately, the banquet began and the conversation ended.

After seeing off the guests, Zhulan didn't feel very happy when she saw the gifts.

Zhou Shuren saw it all and asked, "Did something happen in your backyard?"

Zhu Lan shook her head, "You still don't trust me, I know how to handle it well and didn't make a scene."

After everyone left, she finally came to her senses. Everyone said that Qi had a bad temper and was arrogant. Today, Qi first confronted Liu, and she thought so too. But after everyone left, Zhulan thought about it carefully and felt that she had been wrong. Qi was actually testing her. The fact that Qi later calmed down was the best proof.

Zhou Shuren patted Zhulan on the shoulder and said, "Mrs. Zhou, your peaceful days are over."

The officials' families in Jinzhou all have backgrounds and complicated relationships, which sometimes give him a headache just looking at them.

Zhulan sighed. Her peaceful days were over, so she didn't want the concubine to stay any longer. She didn't want Xuemei to get involved. "By the way, this is the prince's gift list. This is the gift list from the other four princes."

Zhou Shuren raised his eyebrows, "Fifth Prince?"

Zhulan took out the gift list and said, "The gifts here are not expensive, but they are very thoughtful. Our son was born in the year of the horse, and these are the twelve forms of the horse."

Zhou Shuren pointed at the gift list and said, "I can understand the Crown Prince and the others, but what does this unknown little prince mean?"

Zhou Shuren really had never paid attention to this prince, mainly because he felt that they had the same father and mother and were from the same country as the crown prince. Judging from the current situation, the crown prince had a high chance of ascending the throne, so it would be great to follow behind the crown prince!

Zhulan, "I can only say that you are worthy of being a prince."

They all have ambitions to ascend the throne.

Zhou Shuren was speechless. Not to mention the crown prince, just talk about the second, third, and fourth princes. None of them is easy to deal with. Who gave the fifth prince the confidence?

I still feel uncomfortable today, so I will update two chapters first, which is two chapters I owe today. I hope I won't feel any pain tomorrow and can make up for it.
