Chapter 522 What was discovered

Wu Ning quickly pleaded, "Auntie, it's not Grandma Wei's fault, it's all my willfulness."

Mrs. Wei took the cushion, but she refused to do so because she just wanted to calm down.

Zhu Lan glared at Wu Ning, "You still know that you are willful?"

Wu Ning lowered her head. She knew it, but today she just wanted to be willful. She had been suppressed in her heart for too long, and she just wanted to vent.

Zhulan pursed her lips. Wu Ning had lost a lot of weight recently. She felt a gust of wind blowing past. Seeing Wu Ning shiver, her anger instantly disappeared, leaving only heartache. She took Wu Ning's hand and said, "Come back with me."

Wu Ning looked down at her aunt's hand. Her aunt's hand was so warm that she couldn't help but hold it tightly. The depression and uneasiness in her heart seemed to disappear.

Mrs. Wei stood in the pavilion and let out a breath. She had wanted to mention it to the mistress of the Zhou family for a long time, but she was cautious. It was already a great favor for the Zhou family to raise the young lady, and she was afraid that the mistress of the Zhou family would not like the young lady. Now that everything was fine, she could rest assured.

Back at the main courtyard, Liu Ya had already brought the ginger soup. Zhu Lan said unhappily, "Why don't you drink it yourself? Why are you waiting for me to feed you?"

Wu Ning curled her lips. Although her aunt's tone was not nice, she couldn't help but feel happy. "I'll drink it myself."

Zhulan waited for Wu Ning to drink the ginger soup, "Do you know your mistakes today?"

Wu Ning smiled and said, "I know I'm wrong and I'm willing to be punished."

Zhulan sighed. It was not good for this girl to keep everything in her heart. She did not want to say anything to teach her a lesson. This girl understood better than anyone else. "Since you accept the punishment, starting from tomorrow, you must recite ten large characters each morning, afternoon and evening, and one article by heart."

She just couldn't believe that Wu Ning could still think about other things even though she had all her time utilized. She was just too idle.

Wu Ning was dumbfounded. She also had to learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting from her teacher and had homework every day. Now with the punishment from her aunt, she didn't have any free time at all.

Zhu Lan was pleased with Wu Ning's expression. "You still have time to feel sad about the autumn. Don't just stand there like an idiot. Hurry up and go to class."

Wu Ning's face was red. She had taken leave today on her own initiative. She really shouldn't have done that. Her aunt was right. She was just too idle.

Zhulan waited for Wu Ning to leave, then said to Mrs. Song, "Go to the Wang residence and tell them that I want to find another master."

Mrs. Song: "Yes."

The next day, the teacher that Tao had found arrived at Zhou's house. Zhulan was very satisfied after meeting him and stayed in the house. Zhulan called several girls in the family to meet the teacher, "This Mr. Liu will teach you to read in the future."

Xue Han and the other girls hurriedly greeted him, "Hello, sir."

Zhulan waited for Mr. Liu to leave, and then said to the girls, "From now on, if you have something to do, you have to come to me to ask for leave. You can only not go if I agree. Do you remember this?"

Xue Han and the others said in unison, "I'll remember that."

Zhulan took the lady's hand and said, "Mother knows that you are the one who works the hardest now that there is another teacher. Mother believes that you will not fall behind in your studies, right?"

Xue Han gritted her teeth and said, "Mom, don't worry, I won't fall behind in my studies."

Zhu Lan said, "Okay, it's time to start class, you guys go over there."

Xue Han and the others left the main courtyard. Xue Han couldn't help scratching her hair and said irritably, "I'm really busy."

She has to take care of the affairs of the mansion and deal with social engagements from various mansions. Now there is one more gentleman, which means one more homework. She feels worried just thinking about it.

Wu Ning bit her lip. She felt that it was all because of her. "It's my fault."

Xue Han was puzzled, "What did you do?"

She was not at home yesterday. Could something have happened that she didn't know about?

Wu Ning recounted what happened yesterday, "This is what happened."

Xue Han was speechless. Sister Wu Ning was really artistic. No wonder my mother was so angry and then trembled. So don't mess with my mother. She sighed and said, "Sister, don't think too much. In fact, it's good to have another teacher. I can learn more."

Wu Ning felt very guilty. She saw how busy Xue Han was. She felt ashamed of how good Xue Han was to her. She cursed herself in her heart and couldn't help but tear up. "I will never do that again in the future."

The hairs on Xue Han's back stood up. Why didn't mother tell her yesterday? Why did she tell her alone not to fall behind in her studies? It was all planned by mother. Otherwise, how could she not hear any news yesterday? She had calculated her reaction. Mother just wanted to make Sister Wu Ning feel guilty. This time, Sister Wu Ning would definitely not dare to think too much.

Xue Han thought she had seen a lot of calculations and had learned them well, but after seeing her mother's soft knife today, she found that she had a lot to learn.

Zhulan was in a good mood and was teasing her son. She was really not worried about the young lady. She knew very well what the young lady's tolerance was. Anyway, there was no harm in learning more while she was still young.

In the afternoon, in the government office, Zhou Shuren was looking at the tax account book. Yao Zheyu came. Zhou Shuren took the book and covered the account book. Yao Zheyu came in.

Zhou Shuren and Yao Zheyu were not close friends, so Yao Zheyu must have come here for something. When the tea came, Zhou Shuren and Yao Zheyu were the only ones left in the room. Zhou Shuren asked, "Why are you here, Prince?"

Yao Zheyu's back was covered in cold sweat. He drank all the tea before he felt more at ease. He regretted coming here on impulse today. He calmed down and said, "I don't have anything important to do recently, so I came here to ask if you need any help."

Zhou Shuren looked at Yao Zheyu as if he was stupid. This guy obviously discovered something incredible. "Haha."

Yao Zheyu, "......"

He really hates old foxes.

Zhou Shuren looked at Yao Zheyu without blinking, but he was thinking in his heart what could have happened to make Yao Zheyu panic. How scheming this guy is.

Yao Zheyu couldn't bear it any longer, but he really couldn't say it. He hadn't confirmed it yet. At the same time, his heart skipped a beat. Why did he think of Lord Zhou first? Did he trust Lord Zhou so much?

This is really not a good sign. Yao Zheyu broke out in a cold sweat on his back. He stood up and said, "I just remembered that I have something else to do. I'm leaving now."

Zhou Shuren tapped the table with his fingertips. It was such a bad feeling to be out of control.

Outside the door, Yao Zheyu was in such a hurry that he almost bumped into Lord Wang. Lord Wang, "Prince?"

Yao Zheyu had a toothache, "I have something else to do, I'll go first."

Lord Wang is also an old fox. He found that the people around Lord Zhou seemed to be spirits.

Lord Wang looked at the Crown Prince's back as he left. The Crown Prince's steps were unsteady today. Something must be wrong. Lord Wang looked up at the sky. It was truly a troubled time!

At night, Zhulan talked to Zhou Shuren several times and he was distracted. Zhulan went to rest at night and asked, "What difficulties have you encountered?"

Zhou Shuren told Yao Zheyu what happened today, "This is what happened."

Zhulan counted the days, "According to the date, the Fifth Prince has arrived in Jinzhou, and Miss Yao II should have seen and recognized him. Do you think she has discovered anything?"

Zhou Shuren's mind was full of numbers. He had a breakthrough recently. He had indeed forgotten the fifth prince. He kissed Zhulan and said, "That's definitely it."
