Chapter 554 Sir, Please Stay

Yao Zheyu hooked his fingertips and looked at the two girls standing beside him, one was charming and attractive, the other was pure and beautiful. Haha, he turned around and walked out without stopping for a moment, which was really disgusting.

"Don't go, this is what the Marquis ordered, so please take it back, Prince!"

Yao Zheyu didn't stop at all. He didn't want to hear a word of what was said behind him.

Yao Yao had been waiting in front of the courtyard gate early in the morning. He saw his elder brother at a glance and said helplessly, "Brother."

Yao Zheyu stopped and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Yao Yao sighed, "You also know that I can't leave the mansion. The mansion has stopped supplying me with paper and ink. Big brother, please buy some for me when you have time."

Yao Zhe pushed the silver in front of him and said, "Take it back. I understand."

Yao Yao narrowed her eyes and said, "Thank you, brother."

Zhou Shuren held the paper in his palm and said, "Hmm."

The next morning, after breakfast, Zhou Shuren took Jianyan shopping. He first went to a jewelry store to buy a gift for his wife, and then bought some exquisite toys for his son.

Jianyan was holding various boxes in his arms with a blank look on his face. It was his first time going shopping, and it was also his first time to discover that adults have a hobby of shopping and want to go into all kinds of stores.

Shen Xing was not in a much better situation, his hands were already full. He felt that the old man was thinking about the mistress, but was speechless. It seemed that everything the old man bought was for the mistress and the young master, and there was nothing for other people in the mansion. He was so biased that he didn't even hide it.

Zhou Shuren walked to a shop selling paper and pens and saw Yao Zheyu at first sight. "Prince?"

Why isn't he busy at this moment? Then he thought about it and it made sense. The Second Prince took over just to trick the Fifth Prince, so why would he let Yao Zheyu continue to get involved?

Yao Zheyu had already paid the money. "Master Zhou, we are really destined to meet. It's getting late. How about we find a place to rest?"

Zhou Shuren was indeed a little tired, "Prince, are you coming?"

I'll go if you invite me, free is always good.

Yao Zheyu's mouth twitched. "Master Zhou, you are really not poor." "Yes."

Zhou Shuren smiled and said to Shen Xing behind him, "Buy some good paper, and then meet me at the restaurant on the corner."

Shen Xing said with a blank face, "Yes."

Yao Zheyu only then saw what the two guards were holding and looked at Lord Zhou speechlessly, "I just realized that Lord Zhou also has a hobby of shopping."

Zhou Shuren walked out slowly, "It's a rare opportunity to come to the capital, so I wanted to buy some gifts for my wife. Prince, you'll know when you get married. I've been thinking about her all the time when I'm away from home!"

Yao Zheyu could hear the joy in Lord Zhou's tone and the complexity in his eyes. In his eyes, Lord Zhou had always been a weirdo. He never concealed his concern for his family, never pretended to love his wife, and openly revealed his weaknesses. Ha, didn't this man tell everyone that anyone who touched this scale would die.

Yao Zheyu thought of his own wife, County Lord Shen. He would treat her well. "When I get married, I will definitely invite Lord Zhou. I hope Lord Zhou will come and visit me."

Zhou Shuren didn't stop, this marriage is not easy to make, "Okay."

In the Wang Mansion in Jinzhou, Mrs. Tao had gained a lot of weight, and wrapped in thick clothes, she said shyly, "Since winter has come, I have become more and more afraid of the cold. I wanted to go out to meet you."

Seeing that Tao looked fine, Zhulan said, "I am the one who is bothering you in the first place. I am sorry for disturbing your rest today."

Tao shook her head, "I wish you would come more often. I've been feeling really suffocated in the mansion all day."

Zhulan was amused. Tao loved to attend banquets. "Lord Wang is worried about you. You are the treasure of the Wang family now."

Mrs. Tao touched her belly and found it was indeed a baby. Her mother-in-law had sent her a lot of things in one go, and even her father-in-law had personally inquired about the matter. It was obvious how precious a male child was to the Wang family. She hoped that the baby in her belly was a son. "Oh, this must be Mrs. Dong!"

Zhu Lan nodded, "Yes, my third daughter-in-law's sister Dong Yiyi."

Dong Yiyi smiled and said, "Sorry to bother you."

Tao smiled. She was not familiar with Dong Yiyi. "Sir, you are here. Would you like to meet him first?"

Zhulan smiled and said, "Okay."

Dong Yiyi's smile did not reach her eyes. Even though she came from the capital, to these aristocratic families, the Jiang family was really not worth mentioning. The Tao family was polite but did not take her seriously. She had been arrogant before, but unfortunately, she had nothing left after arriving in the capital.

The gentleman came, he was older.

Tao said, "You told me that the daughter of the Jiang family had a talent for playing the zither, so I found a master who was good at it."

Zhulan started writing, then looked at Dong Yiyi and said, "What do you think?"

Dong Yiyi smiled and said, "It's fine."

She was not qualified to be picky, it was good enough to be hired.

Tao took a look. She had seen too many officials' wives of this kind. In fact, the women's status was entirely dependent on their husbands and their parents' families.

Tao gossiped, "By the way, have you heard that Ran Yan is pregnant?"

Zhulan, "... Qi came to visit Zhou's residence yesterday."

This person is also well-informed about the news at home.

Tao clapped her hands, "I almost forgot. I told you, I heard that Liu smashed a lot of porcelain yesterday."

Zhulan, "...You also know about the Min Mansion?"

Tao laughed dryly, "This is not surprising. Every family has servants who are quick-witted. Speaking of which, Liu is really pitiful. The young lady is in the Fifth Prince's mansion and is said to be ill all the time."

If Zhulan hadn't heard Tao mention it, she would have almost forgotten about it. There is also a Fourth Miss Min in the Fifth Prince's mansion.

Dong Yiyi knew more in Beijing and interrupted, "He is indeed seriously ill and has been on medication to keep him alive."

Tao touched her belly and said, "The Fifth Prince's Mansion is really...haha, I didn't say anything."

Zhulan knew what Tao was going to say. The Fifth Prince's Mansion was indeed miserable. A future Fifth Prince's wife became the daughter of a criminal, the young lady of the Min Mansion who had been in conflict with her was sick, and the Fifth Prince was not in good health either!

Tao lowered his voice and said, "I heard."

Zhulan was stunned. "What did you hear?"

Tao coughed and said, "I heard that the Fifth Prince's Mansion is preparing for a happy occasion."

Zhulan looked at Tao dimly. This news was definitely not spread from Jinzhou. Tao must have heard it from her parents' home. She remembered that Tao's parents' home was Jinzhou yesterday. Yes, Tao's parents' home had officials from the Ministry of Rites, so they were naturally the most informed about marriage news.

In the capital, Zhou Shuren was pregnant and ready to go home. "Thank you for the hospitality, Master."

Prince Yao looked at the table. This guy was really rude. None of the food he ordered was cheap. "Are you satisfied with your meal, Mr. Zhou?"

Zhou Shuren touched his belly and said, "I am very satisfied!"

If you don't spend a penny of your own money and yet are not satisfied with the good food and wine, you will be struck by lightning!

Yao Zheyu touched his wallet. He didn't bring much money today. Most of the money was used to buy paper and ink for his sister. It should be enough to pay the bill. If not, it would be embarrassing.

Zhou Shuren stood up and said, "I have something else to do at the Zhou Mansion. I will leave first."

Yao Zheyu, "Sir, please stay."
