Chapter 604: Don’t think about what you shouldn’t think about
Zhulan quickly asked Butler Ding to arrange people. They were all skilled in martial arts. The environment in ancient times was good. Even in the mountains and forests around the state capital, there were ferocious beasts. People who knew martial arts would be safer.
Mrs. Song saw that her mistress was worried, "Mr. He is a lucky man, and he will be fine."
Zhu Lan pressed her forehead, "I'm not worried about him, I'm worried about Wu Ning. If anything happens to He Shu, Wu Ning's life will be over."
The marriage was already unlucky in the first place, and if something really happened to He Shu, Wu Ning would not only be to blame for it, but her future would also be ruined.
Mrs. Song pursed her lips. She still liked Miss Wu very much, especially the current Miss Wu, who made people feel comfortable. "Mr. He is not a reckless person. This disappearance was intentional."
Zhulan looked at Mrs. Song. See, this is the benefit of training. She really got a great deal. Mrs. Song was still sharp and sharp. "He's blocking the way."
The Big Three Yuans are different from the Small Three Yuans. Some people are aiming for the Big Three Yuans. Haha, they have really big ambitions.
Mrs. Song saw that her mistress was only thinking about the worst. How could she not think so? It was not likely that Mr. He, a weak scholar, would get into trouble!
Zhulan thought of Shen Yang, the scholar who looked a bit like the emperor. This time she didn't need to rely on her intuition. She was sure that someone was pushing Shen Yang forward, so the possibility of He Shu becoming an obstacle was not high.
She was worried. They had finally gotten engaged, and Wu Ning's wedding dress was almost finished being embroidered. How was she going to explain this to Wu Ming?
The person who was most secretive about the personnel changes in the mansion was Xue Han. Wu Ning and Xue Han had always been together, and Zhu Lan did not hide the news, so the two maids hurried to the main courtyard.
Zhu Lan looked at Wu Ning's panicked expression. She didn't want to say anything comforting. It was better not to give her too much hope at this time, lest the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. "Although I don't want to think the worst, you should also be mentally prepared."
Wu Ning's body swayed, her fingertips clasping her palms tightly. The pain also calmed her down, and she then let go of her hand, "I'm sorry to have worried you, Auntie."
Zhu Lan stared at Wu Ning with a smile in her eyes. Her education of Wu Ning was successful. Look, the little girl is more resolute than before. "Sit down. You wait for news with me."
Wu Ning sat down weakly, silently reciting scriptures and praying in her heart, hoping that the Buddhas would bring her peace. She recited this in her heart over and over again. Wu Ning had never thought that she would be so calm.
Xue Han felt bad when she saw Sister Wu Ning's appearance. She would never say that Sister Wu had a hard life, as that would hurt her too much. Seeing her mother's serious expression, she started to think, "Mother, isn't it easy for Mr. He to get into trouble?"
Zhulan, "Well, you have to remember that sometimes you have to know how to hide your shortcomings."
Xue Han reacted quickly, her pupils constricted, "Mom, Mr. He is also considered half-son-in-law of the Zhou family."
Zhulan pinched the lady's face and said, "Lady, you should know that the only person in the Zhou Mansion that people are jealous of is your father."
No matter who it is, the other party will not hesitate to take action. Of course, she can also make people more considerate. Who let Zhou Shuren let everyone know that Zhou Shuren cares about her.
Xue Han was silent. She was in charge of the Zhou family and was flattered by some young ladies, so she became a little arrogant. Her mother's words pierced through the surface she saw. The Zhou family currently only relied on her father. The Zhou family was really fragile!
Zhulan saw the changes in her daughter and smiled even more. It was already very good for the girl to have her current performance at this age. She was very confident in her education. There was a reason why Tao and Ran Qi liked Xuehan. It was rare for a girl to be so smart at such a young age.
The waiting time is the most torturous, especially now that it is afternoon. The daylight is shorter in autumn, and the city gates will be closed when it gets dark. The mountains and forests are also the most dangerous in the dark.
At the government office, Zhou Shuren and Lord Wang had already heard the news. Lord Wang was really anxious. "Why would He Shu agree to go and enjoy the scenery? This guy is not such a refined person."
Zhou Shuren glanced at Lord Wang, who was sweating profusely. That's right, Lord Wang didn't know much, so he could only try his best to guess that it was He Shu.
Wang Ju's face turned unhappy because he knew more. Wang Ju looked at Lord Zhou's expression and knew that He Shu was obviously blocking the way.
Zhou Shuren said quietly, "The first test will be the day after tomorrow."
This examination is not the provincial examination, but it is necessary to take another test to screen out some people. Although it is not the provincial examination, it is also the most important part.
Lord Wang was so anxious that he was spinning around, "What should I do? Don't get hurt, or I'll have to wait another three years."
A lot can change in three years, and sometimes once you miss a person's opportunity, it's gone for a lifetime.
Wang Ju thought to himself, don't get hurt, it's a great fortune to be alive, and he said nothing. He felt that Lord Zhou must be in a very bad mood right now.
Zhou Shuren was in a bad mood indeed, not only because of He Shu, nor because there might be accidents among other students, but because Shen Yang was indeed not a simple person. It was really unfortunate that now that he was under his jurisdiction, it would be difficult for him not to get involved. Why did he have to be under his jurisdiction!
Time passed, it got dark, and the city gates were locked.
Zhu Lan looked at Wu Ning who left in a daze and said to her daughter, "Please keep an eye on her."
Xue Han nodded and then hurriedly chased after him.
Zhou Shuren came back and said, "I have asked Yao Zheyu's people to go look for it as well."
Zhulan, "What do you think the chances of survival are?"
Zhou Shuren was changing his clothes. "Less than a cent."
Zhu Lan said faintly: "Yes, unless a miracle happens."
Zhou Shuren was hungry, "Let's eat."
Zhulan couldn't eat much, but looking at Zhou Shuren's eyes, she decided to eat even if she couldn't. "Okay."
The dinner was very quiet. Changzhong didn't even play with Zhou Shuren. Zhulan was very relieved to see the little guy eating obediently. After she got sick, her son really grew up a lot. In just less than two months, her son's temperament became much calmer.
In the first house, Li had just come back from visiting Wu Ning. It was not that Li did not want to go to the main courtyard to see her, but because her mother-in-law was there and she was not good at speaking, she did not go to comfort her. Then when Wu Ning came back, she felt uneasy and went to see her.
Mingyun saw his mother coming back, "Mom, the food is here, let's eat."
Li sat down and said, "Your Aunt Wu Ning has a very hard life."
Mingyun looked at his mother. Even though his mother didn't understand the elegant arts of calligraphy and painting, and was born a peasant, he liked his mother like this because she was sincere. The more she was in a calculating circle, the more precious sincerity was. This was also the reason why everyone in the mansion liked his mother.
At Lord Wang's residence, Xue opened her mouth and wanted to ask if Wu Ning had a bad fate, but she swallowed the words back. He Shu was not a child of the Wang family, and she didn't need to offend the Zhou family for He Shu. The Zhou family all protected their children.
Lord Wang has been thinking about Lord Zhou's reaction since he returned home. He was too calm, as if he knew the result. His heart was pounding and he quickly emptied his mind. He couldn't think about it. He had worked so hard to get to this position and he couldn't think about things that he shouldn't think about.
The next morning, Zhou Shuren woke up and Jianyan came in, "Sir, we found the person."
