Chapter 523: Fake

Zhu Lan played with Zhou Shuren's hand, "You can find someone to keep an eye on Miss Yao Er."

Zhou Shuren held Zhulan's hand and shook his head gently, saying, "I don't want to cause myself more trouble. I just need to know the general direction."

Zhulan was very curious about what was discovered.

Zhou Shuren held Zhulan in his arms and said, "It's getting late, let's go to bed early."

Zhulan was indeed sleepy. Her son hadn't slept all day and she had been playing with him all day. After all, he was getting older and his physical strength couldn't keep up. "Yeah."

Zhou Shuren also closed his eyes, knowing what was going on, and soon fell asleep.

In the capital, in the study of the Prince's Mansion, the Prince was looking at the news he had just received from the Third Brother, his eyes were dark, the Third Brother had been staring at the Fifth Brother, he actually guessed from the actions of Master Yao that the Fifth Brother who came back was a fake, the Prince closed his eyes, carefully recalled the details, suddenly opened his eyes, if the Fifth Brother who came back was a fake, the real Fifth Brother would have hidden away long ago, then the Marquis' Mansion sent the Yao family's legitimate daughter to Jinzhou City, just to prevent people from suspecting that the Fifth Brother was a fake, the Marquis' Mansion wanted them to think that since the legitimate daughter had been sent there, the Fifth Brother must be the real one.

The prince stood up and sat down again. He was already certain that the one who came back was a fake Old Five. So where did Old Five go? When did Old Five find someone to replace him and leave? And what role did the Marquis' Mansion play in this?

The prince recalled his father's expression and realized that his father not only sent the fifth son out to fish, but he also knew that the fifth son who came back was a fake, so there was no need for him to return to the capital. His father even used this fake fifth son to openly let the Marquis' Mansion join the game.

The prince laughed softly. He was indeed too naive.

In the Second Prince's mansion, the Second Prince also had some intercepted news in his hands. After reading it, the Second Prince sighed, "The Third Prince hid it very well. I guess several brothers have this news."

The second prince was completely convinced that the third prince was the most insidious. The third prince had been so cautious in the past, but it was too easy for him to intercept the information this time.

If the Third Prince knew what the Second Prince was thinking, he would definitely scold him, saying, "Bah, what a sinister thing! The Second Prince and the Fourth Prince have been keeping a close eye on him these days, and he knows that he seems to have been blamed. Most of the people have been sent out, so naturally there are more mistakes. It's really not that he is letting them off."

The fourth brother held the note of news in his hand. He was thinking, if the fifth brother was really a fake, wouldn't the Marquis' Mansion be completely behind the fifth brother? Does the Marquis' Mansion have such great power? They not only watched the fifth brother all the way out of Beijing, but also didn't watch when the fifth brother was replaced.

The fourth brother's heart sank. They all underestimated the fifth brother. How young was he, yet he had so much power? The fourth brother instantly brought the fifth brother to the same level as the crown prince.

The next afternoon, Zhulan heard the news that shocked her. "Issuing an imperial decree to grant marriage?"

Mrs. Song was stunned when she heard the news. "Yes, the eunuch who read out the decree has already left. It is estimated that the news has spread all over Jinzhou City by now."

Zhu Lan paused, "It's really unexpected that the Emperor has arranged a marriage for Prince Yao."

Mrs. Song thought that the whole Jinzhou City must be in a state of confusion. Who could have thought that the Emperor would arrange a marriage for Prince Yao?

Zhulan was really surprised. She was surprised that the woman who offered the marriage was the young county lord of Anping Marquis's Mansion. The second son of Anping Marquis's Mansion was the former prefect of Jinzhou. So Zhulan knew a lot about Anping Marquis's Mansion. Anping Marquis's Mansion was the emperor's iron supporter. How many noble ladies wanted to marry were promised to Yao Zheyu!

It is said that the young county lord of Anping Marquis's Mansion is deeply loved by the empress. Although this young county lord has no title, her name was given by the empress, Shen Yile, a fifteen-year-old girl.

As for his other personality traits, Zhulan didn't know because the young county lord was very well protected.

In the government office, Zhou Shuren and Lord Wang stared at each other. Lord Wang couldn't stand it anymore, "Aren't you surprised, sir?"

Zhou Shuren was quite calm. He had known for a long time that Yao Zheyu had sold him to the emperor and that he could not decide his marriage, so he was not surprised at all. He shook his head and said, "Nothing to be surprised about."

But the power of the Marquis' Mansion was so shocking that the Emperor actually gave Yao Zheyu more weight, and it was a very heavy weight. The Marquis' Mansion of Anping, the Emperor was really generous.

Lord Wang confirmed that Lord Zhou was really not surprised, and his mouth twitched. Well, he was really surprised. No, it should be said that he was shocked. My goodness, one is a marquisate left over from the previous dynasty, and the other is the emperor's close associate. The marriage of the two marquisates is really a huge force.

Zhou Shuren smiled as he drank his tea. "Master Wang, you worry too much. What does this have to do with you? No, what does this have to do with us?"

Lord Wang was stunned. Yes, the Wang family has always been law-abiding. Lord Zhou is a thousand-year-old fox. It really has nothing to do with them. Why is he so excited? He coughed and said, "I lost my composure, I lost my composure."

Fortunately, the old man didn't see it, otherwise, he would have to copy the Art of War again. It's really sad. The children of the Wang family can even recite it backwards. It's scary to think about it.

Zhou Shuren put down his teacup and said, "Master Wang, you should go back to work."

Lord Wang looked at Zhou Shuren with a hard-to-speak expression. He thought they were in the same group, so he couldn't let him go easily. He said quietly, "Sooner or later, Lord Zhou will squeeze me so hard that my hair will be gone."

Zhou Shuren glanced at Lord Wang's head and coughed. He would not tell Lord Wang that he was also worried about his head recently and that he was losing his hair recently!

At the Yao Mansion, Yao Zheyu held the imperial edict in his hand, took a deep breath before putting it away carefully, then sat there in a trance looking at Xiao Se's fallen leaves. He should be happy, the emperor granted him a marriage with the Anping Marquis's Mansion, which meant that as long as he was content in the future, he would be safe even though he would not be in a high position or powerful.

The little county lady of the Anping Marquis's mansion, isn't this the wife he has been waiting for? This is exactly the wife he needs. As long as he marries the little county lady, he will be completely free from the cage, and he will have enough strength to fight for the power of the Marquis's mansion, but he is not happy.

Yao Zheyu withdrew his gaze and felt that he was ridiculous. In fact, he had long understood that he had no right to choose to like his wife, but he had been deceiving himself. Now he woke up from his dream.

Yao Yao rushed back and saw his elder brother's gloomy face. He pursed his lips and said, "Brother, you should be happy."

Yao Zheyu chuckled, "You're right, I should laugh."

So many people are staring at him now, he can't show any dissatisfaction.

When Yao Yao saw her elder brother smiling, she felt even more upset. Her elder brother didn't even have the right to be sad. She didn't know how much her elder brother liked Miss Zhou, but she knew that this was the only woman her elder brother liked, but unfortunately they were not destined to be together.

Seeing the sadness in his sister's eyes, Yao Zheyu reached out and touched her hair. He was not a pitiful person. Relatively speaking, he just had no power, and his sister had been completely ruined. The one who should be sad and cry was this girl, but this girl walked out of the bedroom with the smile on her face.

Yao Zheyu signaled the servant to go down, and after confirming that there was no one around, he asked, "Do you hate it?"
