Chapter 574: Pig Teammate

Zhulan's mouth twitched. She could even shout out such a thing. However, it seemed that Lord Wang still had deep feelings for Mrs. Tao. She glanced at her aunt who was kneeling in the courtyard. She was already staggering on her knees, and this time she was completely dizzy.

Su Xuan was happy. Before she got married, her cousin often spoke of the Zhou family with envy. She knew that her cousin was jealous. Today, her mother-in-law was here too, so her cousin-in-law would not go back on his word.

Zhulan only heard a scream and the child was born. She looked up at the ceiling and thought, woman.

Lord Wang laughed, "It's born, it's born."

Soon, the old woman came out holding the child, smiling broadly, "It's a little boy weighing more than five kilograms. Both mother and child are safe."

Lord Wang said three good words in a row and carefully picked up his son, "I have a son again."

He was the legitimate son, and finally he didn't have only one son. God knows how anxious he must have been when he had only one son.

Zhulan looked at Lord Wang and thought of the second son. Every time the family had a meal together, the second son would look at the three boys from the first house with envy. She hooked her fingertips, and it was clear that men in ancient times were very obsessed with their sons.

When they returned home, it was already late. Zhulan coaxed her son for a while. Someone from the Wang family came to give gifts. Lord Wang thanked Zhulan for staying at the Wang family. This was also because of their friendship. Otherwise, Zhulan would not have gone.

Zhulan took a look at the gift, which included a set of headgear for girls. It was for Wu Ning, and it could be considered as an explanation. Zhulan signaled Mrs. Song to give it to Wu Ning.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day for the third day's bath. Zhulan arrived early on that day. She was relieved to see that Tao had recovered well.

Mrs. Tao was very happy to have a little son. She smiled and said, "Of course I will give birth to him. Thank you."

She didn't expect Yang to come, and she felt warm in her heart, because Yang treated her as a friend.

Zhulan looked away from the child and said, "As it should be."

Tao said, "Wang Li left for the capital yesterday."

Zhulan paused, and the two of them smiled and changed the subject. Zhulan reacted while sitting outside the delivery room. Tao was indeed angry, but she knew best how much Tao cared about the child. Tao had helped, and now Tao had won and got everything she wanted.

After the third-day bath banquet, Wu Ning easily stopped attending banquets. What happened that day finally hurt Wu Ning.

After the provincial examination, Wu Ming sent a reply letter by express horse. Wu Ming's tone in the letter was satisfied. In the end, Wu Ning's marriage was entirely up to the Zhou family. Zhu Lan smiled and said, "Okay, okay."

Mrs. Song smiled and said, "The results of the provincial examination are out. Mr. He is third. He is definitely a scholar."

Zhulan smiled and said, "After the entrance exam is over, we can decide on the two children."

Mrs. Song: "Yes."

Wu Ning also looked at the letter sent by her eldest brother with a blushing face. In the letter, her eldest brother said that he agreed to the marriage. The letter also expressed some regret that he could not meet He Shu in person. However, her eldest brother trusted the vision of his uncle and aunt.

Xue Han sat beside her and said, "Look at your face, it's redder than rouge. Spring is here, and Sister Wu's good fortune is coming soon."

Wu Ning hurriedly put away the letter, "You just tease me."

Xue Han curled her lips and said, "I'm not joking. I'm telling the truth. Sister Wu and Mr. He are a perfect match."

Wu Ning's face became even more red with panic. The image of Mr. He flashed through her mind, and she was stunned. She actually remembered Mr. He's image. Her ears were burning with anger. "I told you to blame me, but I don't know who it is these days. I'm angry at Rongchuan's yard every day."

Xue Han said openly, "I just miss Rongchuan. I don't know how Rongchuan is doing. I feel sad when I think about not being able to see him for a year."

Wu Ning was stunned, then laughed. Xue Han was sometimes very straightforward. Okay, no more teasing. Wu Ning stood up and said, "Let's go. It's time for the gentleman to arrive."

Xue Han stood up and said, "Yes, yes."

In the evening, Zhou Shuren came back with a strange expression. Before Zhulan could ask, Zhou Shuren started laughing. Zhulan waited until Zhou Shuren had laughed enough before asking, "What are you happy about?"

Zhou Shuren said as he changed his clothes, "What I fear most is the pig teammates. Lord Yao was badly betrayed by his own pig teammates."

Zhulan took the official robe that Zhou Shuren took off and asked, "What's going on?"

Zhou Shuren smiled, "I just learned the news this afternoon. Lord Yao's concubine's daughter and the fifth prince fell into the water together. The fifth prince went directly to the Marquis' Mansion to propose marriage!"

Zhu Lan's mouth twitched, "Lord Yao must be so angry that he must die."

Zhou Shuren was very happy. "I guess he must have been so angry that he vomited blood. Lord Yao has been avoiding the Fifth Prince these days. He never expected that he would be tricked by his own daughter."

Zhu Lan laughed. Zhou Shuren was holding a grudge. Such a big joke happened in Yao Hou Mansion. No wonder Zhou Shuren was so happy. "Did Yao Hou's concubine conspire with the fifth prince?"

Zhou Shuren shook his head, "The Fifth Prince should have been targeting the legitimate daughter of the Marquisate, not the concubine's daughter. The two of them were not in collusion. I guess there was some chaos and Miss Yao II hid from them."

Zhu Lan thought of the shrewd and insightful Yao Yao, and curled her lips, "That should be it."

In the evening, Zhou Shuren was in a particularly good mood. He ate half a bowl of rice more, and the smile on his face never faded.

In the capital, the emperor was in a complicated mood. He said he wanted the crown prince to choose a wife for the fifth prince, but in fact he was testing Yao Wenqi. He had tested him almost enough when chaos broke out.

The prince was also speechless, "Father, the fifth son is still kneeling outside the palace."

The emperor didn't feel bad, but he thought of the fifth brother who was also upset, "Let him go back and tell him that I agree."

Actually speaking, it is a good thing that the fifth brother married Yao Wenqi's concubine's daughter. He wants to see what Yao Wenqi can do if something unexpected happens. Now Yao Wenqi is the most worried one!

The prince turned around and walked out of the hall. The fifth brother had been kneeling for a long time and began to stagger. He said indifferently, "Get up. Father has agreed to your request and will propose marriage for you soon. You can go back home and rest."

The fifth prince Zhang Jinghong lowered his head to thank the emperor, but he was unwilling in his heart. He had clearly planned on having a concubine's daughter. His face was burning. He was the only one whose wife was a concubine's daughter, but now that things had come to this, he could only accept it.

The prince watched the fifth brother leave, hooking his fingertips and tapping his palms. The attitude of Yao Houfu in the past few days was very strange, too strange. He always felt that there was something hidden behind the calm. He turned his head and glanced at Zheng Dian. Father must have figured out something. He is indeed still far from it.

At the Fifth Prince's residence, Zhang Jinghong had just arrived when the butler came to greet him, "The Second Prince and his companions have been here for a while."

Zhang Jinghong's head was buzzing. He finally relaxed his kneeling legs. He just wanted to rest. Today had been a mess. He was exhausted both physically and mentally. "Show him off."

The butler was in a dilemma. He also wanted to send the guests away, but the princes would not listen!

Zhang Jinghong's face darkened, but he still had to meet his brothers. Damn it, they knew they were here to laugh at him, and he was so angry that he was about to explode. Since he returned to Beijing, his brothers would come to tease him whenever they had nothing to do. It was difficult to see them before, but now, he could meet one from time to time.

Zhang Jinghong took a deep breath and said, "You go down first."

The butler breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes."
