Chapter 584: I'm about to vomit blood

Three days later, Zhou Laoer came back from the capital. Zhulan looked through the property deed. It was a two-story courtyard in the south of the city, with two shops. She counted the money and found that Laoer spent several thousand taels of silver at once. "Your savings have run out!"

Zhou Laoer carefully put away the house deed, "Fortunately Yushuang is only ten years old, so we can still save some money."

Zhulan looked at Zhou Laoer. The more dowry Zhou Laoer prepared for Yushuang, the more it showed that he had hope for Yushuang's marriage. Well, Yushuang was the only one in the second house who could help Mingrui, and Yushuang was beautiful, so it was normal for Zhou Laoer to have hope.

Zhou Laoer continued, "Mother, I met Lord Jiang in the capital. Lord Jiang introduced a house to me, but I didn't accept it and bought another house from a broker."

Zhulan disliked Jiang Ming more and more. "You did the right thing."

Zhou Laoer noticed that his mother's tone had deteriorated a lot, and secretly thanked himself that he was still clear-headed. "Mom, I'm going back to rest."

"Go ahead."

At the government office, Zhou Shuren saw Yao Zheyu coming, "I thought Prince Yao would stay in the capital for two more days."

Yao Zheyu gritted his teeth and said, "If I hadn't done something for Lord Zhou, I wouldn't have returned to the capital."

Dad has been in a bad mood these days, and he has been the vent of his anger whenever he gets home. In just one day, he was inexplicably punished to kneel, and now his knees are aching.

Zhou Shuren pushed the issue aside, "You are joking, my Lord. How can I order you around?"

Yao Zheyu, "......."

Haha, the one who is killed after his work is done is talking about Lord Zhou!

Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "I see that the prince's legs are not very strong, it is better for him to go back and rest early."

Yao Zheyu sneered, "Master Zhou."

Zhou Shuren, "Is there anything else, Prince?"

Yao Zheyu, "......."

He didn't want to see Zhou Shuren's face recently. He thought that he could deepen his friendship with Zhou Shuren through this incident, but he didn't expect that Zhou Shuren would turn against him.

Zhou Shuren waited until Yao Zheyu was about to leave the room before he said quietly, "I also learned this from the prince."

Yao Zheyu paused. Should he say that Zhou Shuren was holding a grudge? Indeed, Zhou Shuren had always held a grudge. He could not even get angry at Zhou Shuren's words. He turned his back on him, and he had done a lot of things to that effect.

Yao Zheyu wanted to say something, but whatever he said seemed pale and powerless, so he could only quicken his pace and leave.

Zhou Shuren watched Yao Zheyu leave. He felt that the current Prince Yao was much more pleasing to the eye. At least he saw his sincerity.

In the evening, Zhou Shuren returned home in a good mood, "Son, come and let daddy hug you."

Changzhong screamed and quickly ran behind his mother, "Mom, Dad is scary."

Zhu Lan glared at Zhou Shuren, "The child is still young, don't chase him. He's really scared, and you won't be able to sleep well at night."

Zhou Shuren touched his nose and said, "Boys should be braver."

Zhulan gritted her teeth and said, "I think my son is brave enough."

It's Zhou Shuren's habit. Changzhong can go to the study room at will. With Zhou Shuren's support, Changzhong is so young, but he can already bully his brothers.

Zhou Shuren coughed and said, "This kid is really brave."

The young guy interrupted, "Dad, I want to ride a horse."

Zhulan grabbed her son from behind and handed him to Zhou Shuren, "Your little ancestor, take care of him yourself."

In the entire Zhou family, only this kid dares to ride on Zhou Shuren's neck.

Zhou Shuren felt his waist hurt, and his son had gained a lot of weight recently. But looking at his son's bright eyes, he couldn't say no, "Okay, let's ride on the neck."

Zhulan looked at the father and son running around the house. She felt that Zhou Shuren was no longer a strict father to his son. In the whole family, Zhou Shuren was the one who took care of his children the best.

Zhulan, "It seems that I am the only one left to be the strict mother."

Mrs. Song heard the mistress's reluctance and said, "The young master is still young, he will be fine when he grows up."

Zhulan waved her hands helplessly, "No matter how old Changzhong is, Shuren is also tolerant of Changzhong."

This is the baby they both have been looking forward to, and it has different meanings.

Mrs. Song didn't think much about it. She just felt that her old son and eldest grandson were both treasures, so it didn't matter if the young master got used to some of them.

In the capital, at Yao Hou Mansion, Yao Wenqi looked at the list on the table. The people on the list were already invalid. Zhang Jinghong was investigating like a madman, and he lost a lot of his hidden men.

Yao Wenqi slammed the table, damn Zhou Shuren. He only then realized that it was all Zhou Shuren's credit that allowed him to enter and leave the capital.

Thinking of the Fifth Prince again, Yao Wenqi felt sick to his stomach. He was really unlucky. Because of the Fifth Prince, he never had a smooth life again!

At the Second Prince's residence, the Second Prince also had a list of names in his hand. These were the people arrested by the Fifth Prince. He had many people in the Ministry of Justice and got the most information. It was a pity that most of these people committed suicide by taking poison, and the few who were still alive refused to speak.

The second prince was just shocked. Who could have so many assassins? He had never noticed this force at all!

Inside the palace, the crown prince heard the report and went into the government hall, "Father, the few who survived just died."

The emperor said, "Someone must have sent them on their way. Let the second son enter the palace."

The prince looked serious and said, "Yes."

In order to prevent the few who survived from being silenced, a lot of people were sent to guard them, but they were still silenced despite the strict defense, which shows that there are people hiding inside.

The second prince walked out of the palace with the wind in his step. His father asked him to go to the Ministry of Justice to investigate, but he didn't expect that the fifth prince was arresting people in front, which gave him the advantage. He wanted to see who the hidden rat was.

The prince returned home and sat alone in the study. He only felt that his father was laying the net, and now even the second son was used as a chess piece. This time his father did not teach him, nor did he give him any hints!

He knew in his heart that his father had asked him to discover it himself. This was a test from his father!

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is Zhou Shuren's day off. Today, Lord Wang and his family arrived at Zhou's house.

Mrs. Tao held her little son in her arms and said, "I have never left the house since I gave birth to my little son. If I hadn't come to Zhou's house today, the master wouldn't have agreed to let me go out!"

Zhulan smiled and said, "Master Wang cares about you."

Tao pouted, "He doesn't care about me at all, he just cares about his old son. This kid can't leave me. He cries when I leave for a while. I said he's used to being apart for a while. He loves the child, which makes me suffer. Look, I can't let go. This kid is the first child I personally raised."

She seldom took care of her two children herself before, as they were all taken care of by the wet nurse and the old woman. It did not delay her from attending the banquet at all!

Zhou Shuren and Wang Ju were fishing together by the lake in the garden. Wang Ju was eating fruit and asked, "I heard that Master Shen wants to be your disciple?"

Zhou Shuren stared at the fishing rod and said, "Your information is too late."

Wang Ju, "You still don't allow me to lay the foundation. Tell me slowly."

Zhou Shuren was too lazy to pay attention to Wang Ju.

Wang Ju threw away the fruit, "Master Shen has been jumping around a lot. He has visited many people. It is said that Master Zhang likes Master Shen very much."

Zhou Shuren, "Are you paying too much attention to him?"
