Chapter 599: Nothing

Zhu Lan thought for a few seconds. It wasn't Zhou Shuren who made the big move, so the only answer was, "Is the Emperor going to take action?"

Zhou Shuren was not surprised that Zhulan guessed it, and nodded, "Well, Lord Min has been quite active recently, and now the maritime affairs are basically controlled by the emperor, Lord Min is no longer useful."

Zhulan thought of Min Liushi and the whole family of the Min family. She remembered that the last time she went there, she heard that Lord Min had another grandson, but it hadn't even been a month yet. "Ah."

Zhou Shuren, "Go to sleep."

Zhulan was also quite experienced. She shook her head and stopped thinking about it. Everyone has their own destiny. "Okay."

Zhou Shuren turned sideways and hugged Zhulan tightly. Zhulan was not well yet. He fell asleep as soon as he finished speaking. He looked at the place where his son used to live. Now that the little boy was not there, he was still a little uncomfortable!

The next day, Zhulan did not ask anyone about it. Since it was over, there was no need to ask for any news. She watched her son playing in the yard, but she was thinking about Pingzhou. She didn't know how her mother was doing, or whether the eldest son and Changzhi had arrived in Pingzhou.

In Jinzhou City, the homes of several gentlemen were ransacked, including Lord Min, Lord Bai, and others.

Zhou Shuren went to the Min Mansion in person. Yao Zheyu was already in the study. This time Zhou Shuren was not in charge. He was just going through the motions. The one in charge was Yao Zheyu, this weighted knife.

Lord Wang followed behind Zhou Shuren, while Lord Min was kneeling in the yard. Zhou Shuren's gaze lingered on Lord Min for a long time. He seemed to still remember clearly how powerful Lord Min was and how condescending he was when he first came to Jinzhou.

Now, Lord Min was kneeling in the yard with a dull look in his eyes, like a dead dog. Ever since being trapped by the Emperor, Lord Min had been living in agony. He knew the ending but could not change anything. Under the mental blow, Lord Min had aged a lot.

Zhou Shuren retracted his gaze. To put it bluntly, the emperor was a ruthless man. If the emperor remembered this, he would not let you off easily. The mental torture was severe enough.

Lord Min heard the footsteps, raised his head, and chuckled, "It turned out to be Lord Zhou."

Zhou Shuren paused, "What's the matter?"

The officer stood in front of Lord Min. Lord Min did not dare to move and could only look up. "I just want to ask Lord Ran, how are you?"

Zhou Shuren was silent. He was still thinking about his mortal enemy at this time!

Lord Min's eyes brightened a little. This is psychology. He just felt excited to die with his mortal enemy.

Unfortunately, Zhou Shuren did not say something that would make Lord Min happy, "Lord Ran is doing very well and should have already arrived in Beijing."

That’s right, Lord Ran has already brought all the things he collected to the capital!

Lord Min was stunned. "Were they not surrounded? Were they not arrested? Was their property not searched?"

Zhou Shuren said quietly, "Nothing. Lord Ran has been ordered to go to the capital. He left early in the morning and is expected to arrive in the capital soon. The emperor has summoned him personally."

Lord Min fell to the ground as if he had lost his temper. He had climbed all the way to the third rank, so who was the fool? He suddenly laughed out loud, "I thought, no wonder the daughter of the Ran family could enter the crown prince's backyard, no wonder he was fine even when the third prince and the Qi family made trouble for him, haha, I am the real fool, no wonder the Ran family is still fine even after being framed so many times!"

In the end, his plan to be buried with the deceased came to nothing, absolutely nothing!

Zhou Shuren stared at Lord Min who was laughing loudly. Lord Min's eyes were full of madness. He let out a long sigh. No one could stand it. They were obviously mortal enemies and everyone was fighting on the same plate, but in the end, the opponent was the Zhuang family.

Zhou Shuren turned and left. Lord Wang trotted after him, his heart trembling. He had been in Jinzhou for so many years, but he didn't know half as much as Lord Zhou. At least Lord Ran was the emperor's man. He had only known about it for a short time, and he was scared. No wonder his father said, if you have no ability, just keep hiding, the emperor knows everything.

Dad meant that the emperor didn't take action because the time was not right. Once the item is no longer valuable, the emperor will act without hesitation.

Zhou Shuren arrived at the study room and Yao Zheyu had already finished packing. "Is it finished?"

Yao Zheyu nodded, "Lord Ran has the important things, so I am just going through the motions."

Zhou Shuren looked around and said, "Okay, go ahead and do your work. I'll go back to the government office first."

Yao Zheyu watched Lord Zhou leave, thinking to himself that he would prefer Lord Zhou to go to Beijing with him. He always felt that Lord Zhou could help him if they went together. It was a pity that Lord Zhou had nothing to do this time!

In Zhoujia Village, Xuemei brought her daughter to the Jiang family. As soon as she entered the yard, Xuemei saw the young master of the Jiang family sweeping the yard. She was stunned. She thought she would see the decadent Jiang family, but unexpectedly, the young master of the Jiang family had no complaints on his face and was sweeping the yard very seriously.

Jiang Muchen held the broom and recognized the person by her appearance, "Aunt Xuemei."

Xuemei raised her eyebrows and called her aunt instead of Aunt Jiang, which meant to be close to the Zhou family. She smiled and said, "Is your mother at home?"

Jiang Muchen nodded, "Yes."

Dong Yiyi came out when she heard the sound of people talking in the yard. She had never met Zhou Xuemei before. She had only heard about her from others. She had asked her sister about her when she came here. Now that she had met her, she knew what was going on. It was just as her sister had said. The Zhou family was very shrewd. Even though the woman in front of her was gentle, she did not dare to underestimate her. "I should be the one to go and pay her a visit."

Xuemei came to visit for the first time, and she brought a gift with her. She handed it over and said with a smile, "I know you guys can help with the cleanup. Since we are not strangers, I came here on my own."

The basket in Dong Yiyi's hand was very heavy. She smelled buns and other food. She felt good that Zhou Xuemei didn't send her any cloth. But if she really sent her any cloth, she would feel uncomfortable, as if it was a mockery that she could no longer wear expensive materials. She ate well and was intimate with her.

"I heard from Chuchu that you just gave birth to a son not long ago. It's my fault. Please come in."

Xuemei smiled and said, "Okay."

If it weren't for the Jiang family today and she had received the letter from her mother in advance, she would not have come so soon.

Jiang Miao followed her mother. When the little girl reached the door, she couldn't help but look back at the boy in the yard. Maybe her line of sight was too direct, the boy raised his head with the broom in his hand. Jiang Miao quickly withdrew her gaze and ran into the house.

Jiang Muchen looked at the door and smiled. This was Lord Zhou's only granddaughter. Even though she did not grow up in the Zhou family, she was no worse than the young ladies of the Zhou family in terms of clothing. It was obvious how much Lord Zhou liked this granddaughter.

Half an hour later, Xuemei left the Jiang family. Xuemei sighed with emotion. Jiang Miao asked, "Mom, aren't you happy?"

Xuemei stroked her daughter's hair and said, "Mother is just lamenting how difficult it is for women. All the ups and downs depend on their husbands."

Jiang Miao has also grown up, understood a lot, and calmed down a lot. "Mom, grandpa chose a father for you, and you are living a good life."

Xuemei smiled. She lived a good life because of her mother's family. "Go back. Your brother will start crying."

Xuemei got a headache when she thought of the four boys at home.
