Chapter 637: Letter for help, got a beating

Seeing that Deng Xiucai was waiting for her reply, Zhulan closed the news of the investigation and said, "Thank you for your hard work these days. I still need you to continue investigating the remaining people."

Mr. Deng felt relieved. He was afraid that the mistress of the Zhou family would not be satisfied with his ability to do things. Everything he had now was dependent on Lord Zhou. The more he got to know Lord Zhou, the more he realized how much Lord Zhou cared about the mistress of the Zhou family. He would never underestimate the power of pillow talk!

Zhulan waited for Mr. Deng to say goodbye and leave, then took the title deed to the hill. She wanted to build a house on the hill, which would be very beautiful with fruit trees all around.

Chang Lian had already read the investigation report. His mother had asked him to read it. He organized his words in his mind before speaking, "Mom, is there something wrong with the Ma and Qian families?"

Zhulan praised in her heart, "Not bad, how did you figure that out?"

Chang Lian pointed out the problem, "It seems that there is no problem with these two stores, and they have no connection at all, but they have the same hobbies and often go to basically the same shops. This is the problem. Now it seems that the shops that these two often go to also have some problems."

Zhulan put down the deed in her hand, "That's true, so you have to learn the focus of your father's investigation. The direction of Deng Xiucai's current investigation was determined by your father. You have to remember that people can create many illusions, but habits are subconscious."

Chang Lian's eyes widened a little. He didn't think that these words were told by his father to his mother, especially the last words. So his mother was very surprised. "Mom, I remember it."

Zhulan estimated the time. Well, it was cloudy today. She felt depressed every time it was cloudy. She couldn't estimate the time accurately without looking at the hourglass. She missed the clock and watch. "You should go back to study. Now I'm in the capital. I'll take care of all the problems. You don't have to worry about it. Just concentrate on studying."

Chang Lian relaxed his brows. When his mother was not here, he was calculating all day long. He had too many things on his mind and could not do two things at once. It was difficult for him to concentrate on studying. He was also anxious, but the more anxious he was, the more counterproductive it was. Now he is fine. "Mom, your son is back in the study."

Zhulan waited for Changlian to leave, and then asked Mrs. Song, "Where is Changzhong?"

Mrs. Song said respectfully, "The young master has gone to see Miss Yuyi."

Zhulan no longer had to worry, as Mrs. Dong was very good at coaxing children. To be honest, the eldest daughter-in-law in the family would either use violence or yell at the children, while the second daughter-in-law was very cautious with the children. Only Dong Chuchu had a different background, and because she married early to temper her temper, she was the most easy-going and was very good at coaxing children. Minghui liked the third aunt very much!

Zhulan looked down at the area of ​​the mountain, which seemed to be about thirty acres, which was actually not small. Her hands itched as she took out her brush and ink. Her paintings had long since changed from plants and animals. When she had nothing to do at Zhou's mansion, she often painted the scenery and buildings inside. Many details of the house were wisdom passed down from ancient times.

Mrs. Song helped spread out the paper and looked at the simple building framework on the paper bit by bit. "Madam, do you want to design the manor yourself?"

Zhulan narrowed her eyes, "Yes, but I just have a rough idea. I still need to look at the terrain for details."

Zhulan thinks she is very good. She started out knowing nothing but has been learning for so many years and now she has even mastered design. She wants to use what she sees to build a house she likes.

Mrs. Song stopped talking because her mistress lowered her head and continued to paint. The reason why her mistress made such rapid progress was because of her concentration and seriousness.

In the afternoon, Zhulan received a letter from Jinzhou. She received several letters at once, and her heart was warm. "You wrote all these to me?"

Mrs. Song counted the letters, there were six in total, "That should be it."

Zhulan first picked up Zhou Shuren's letter, which said that everything was fine at home and not to worry. He also asked about her and her son. In the end, the most talked about thing was that Changzhi had betrayed him. Zhulan's mouth corners kept curling up when she read it. She was glad that Zhou Shuren was not alone.

Then came Li's letter. Zhulan still felt that Li's handwriting was hurting her eyes. She did not like copying calligraphy. Over the years, her handwriting had become quite good, but Li's had not improved much. Fortunately, the characters with too many strokes must have been written by Mingyun. In this whole piece of soft and sloppy handwriting, there was suddenly a piece with style. Zhulan was very happy to see it.

Li's letter was full of trivial matters, and he only asked her when she would be home at the end.

Zhulan was very soft-hearted. What Li wanted to express was that she felt she had a complete home only in the Zhou Mansion.

The next letter was from Xue Han. Xue Han greeted her and Chang Zhong, asked about Chang Lian and others, and finally talked about some things in the mansion.

Su Xuan wrote a letter saying that the child was doing well and asked her not to worry too much. She also said that Chang Zhi had been working very hard recently.

Zhulan was happy as long as everything was fine, because what she was most concerned about was Su Xuan and the baby in her belly.

Of the remaining two letters, the first one was Ming Teng's, which mostly asked when grandma would come back, and also talked about how terrible fourth uncle was.

The last letter was from Mingrui. After reading it, Zhulan's face darkened and her cheerful mood faded a lot.

Mrs. Dong felt that her mother-in-law looked unhappy, "Mom, what happened at home?"

Zhulan couldn't discuss Mingrui's matter with Mrs. Dong. "It's nothing. Yuyi should be awake by now. You don't have to accompany me. Go back first."

Dong stood up and said, "Mom, I'm going home first."

"Um."

Zhulan waited for Dong to leave, then read the letter carefully again and let out a long sigh. Now, among the grandchildren of the Zhou family, except Mingyun, they all study together, and in front of the eldest and second eldest brothers. This is a contrast. Mingrui has been quirky since he was young, and is somewhat unlike the child of the second wife. This child is very lively.

Now the second child would take time out every day to watch Mingrui study. The child even received a slap on the palm. Mingrui is very smart, but his mind is not completely focused on studying, otherwise he and Mingteng would not be as good as each other. Zhulan pressed her eyebrows, thinking that the second child was right to hope that his son would become successful.

She made such strict demands on Mingrui right from the start, and now the little guy is asking her for help.

Zhulan took a pen and wanted to reply. This time there were too many letters, so she replied to each room first, then to the daughter-in-law, and finally to Zhou Shuren. Zhulan didn't think that Zhou Shuren couldn't see Mingrui being beaten with a slap. Since Zhou Shuren didn't mention it, she also said it. But she had no doubt about how to reply to Mingrui's letter. She replied. This kid must use her letter to pressure his own father!

Finally, after thinking about it, I decided not to reply to the letters from my grandchildren, but I mentioned Mingrui's letter in the letter to Zhou Shuren.

There's no rush to send these letters; you can send them tomorrow.

The next day, the letter arrived at home in the afternoon. In the evening, Zhou Shuren took the letter and read it. He felt relieved that Zhulan and his son were fine. After dinner, he went to the study and saw Mingteng and Mingrui looking listless.

He knew that these two guys wrote to him, and now he is disappointed that he didn't receive a reply!

Zhou Shuren sat down, "Mingrui."
