Chapter 668: I Like Silver

In Zhoujia Village, Xuemei was preparing to go to the Jiang family with her daughter. Just as they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Zhang Datie and his wife walked in.

Xuemei saw that the two looked haggard, "Why are you two here?"

Zhang Datie pulled Zhu to his knees, "Please save us, we have no other options, we can only ask Master Zhou to save us."

Xuemei pulled her daughter back. Then old man Jiang heard the noise and came out of the house. "What happened?"

Xuemei patted her daughter and said, "You and Grandpa should go back to the house."

Jiang Miao held his mother's hand and shook his head, "Mom, I'm with you."

Seeing that her daughter was not leaving, Xuemei said to her father-in-law, "Dad, it's okay, you can go back first."

Old man Jiang knew that it was not something he should know, so he turned around and went back to the house. Now the old couple in the Jiang family listen to their son and daughter-in-law completely. They live a good life, dress well, eat well, and don’t have to work hard. When they are free, they go to the fields or chat with the old men in the village. How many people envy their life in their later years!

Xuemei brought Zhang Datie and his wife into the hall, "Tell me clearly what I want to save you."

Zhang Datie was filled with fear and torment. He trembled and said, "Some time ago, someone came to the village to investigate Rongchuan. They broke into our house in the middle of the night with a knife in their hands and interrogated us. We didn't dare to hide anything, so we told them everything. They also threatened us not to tell anyone."

Xuemei finally realized that Zhang Datie and his wife hesitated to talk every time they saw her. It turned out to be this matter. "Why are you talking about it again now?"

Zhu wiped her tears, "We have no choice. These days are torture. We have been afraid to fall asleep and have been killed. We know in our hearts that Rongchuan's parents will definitely take revenge on us for treating him so badly in the past. Datie said that this person must have been trained and is not an ordinary servant. Woohoo, we have really changed. We agreed to write off the matter at the beginning."

Zhu had suffered enough in his heart, and now his mentality had completely collapsed.

Zhang Datie rubbed his face fiercely, "We just want to write a letter to Lord Zhou, hoping to talk to Rongchuan and ask him to let us go. Even if he doesn't let us go, it's fine, but the child is innocent, they know nothing."

As he spoke, Zhang Datie wiped away his tears. They had been living in fear these days. They also wanted to run away, but it would be too easy to find them if they ran away to somewhere.

And he didn't dare to run, he always felt that someone was watching them.

Xuemei understood everything and also heard important news from it. Rongchuan's life experience was extraordinary. "I know. I will write a letter back to my parents now. You can go back first."

Zhang Datie and his wife looked at each other and thanked him profusely, "Thank you, thank you."

Xuemei sent Zhang Datie and his wife away, and said quietly, "So people should be kind. It's not that there will be no retribution, it's just that the time has not come yet. Look, the retribution of the Zhang family has come."

Jiang Miao understood, "Mom, will anything happen to the Zhang family?"

Xuemei took her daughter to write a letter, "In the eyes of some powerful people, the lives of ordinary people are worthless, not to mention that Zhang Datie and his wife abused Rongchuan. The beating hurts the mother, and the parents are filled with hatred in their hearts."

Jiang Miao was silent, "So, something bad will happen to the Zhang family."

Xuemei did not respond to the girl's words, because she knew in her heart that it was too easy for the powerful to take people's lives.

At the gate of the capital city, Zhulan's family's carriages were lined up. There were only a few carriages coming, but there were quite a few returning.

After leaving the city gate, Zhulan was eager to go home, but unfortunately, according to the date, today was not Zhou Shuren's day off. She patted her son's back and said, "Go to sleep. Wait until mother calls you."

In Chang Lian's carriage, Dong sat motionless, adjusting her clothes and sleeves from time to time, and she didn't hold her daughter in her arms today.

Chang Lian propped up his chin and said, "I told you not to wear such cumbersome clothes when riding in a carriage. Now it's okay. I'm the one who's tired."

Mrs. Dong, "You don't understand. I am taking advantage of you. This is my new image. Now I am also the wife of an official."

Chang Lian was amused, "So that's what you were thinking. I always thought you didn't care!"

Dong was speechless, "Which eye of yours saw that I didn't care? I care a lot. I can't compare to the county lord, but I also want to get closer to him."

Chang Lian held Dong's hand and said, "You are not taking advantage of me. We are one body."

Mrs. Dong smiled and said, "Then can you lend me your shoulder to lean on?"

"Yes, ma'am."

Inside the Queen's palace, the Queen was somewhat absent-minded. Ning Xu had been there for a while, and the Queen was distracted. When the Queen came back to her senses, Ning Xu asked, "Since you know that Rong Chuan is the fifth child, and you are reluctant to let Rong Chuan leave, when are you going to meet him?"

The queen pressed her eyebrows and said, "Third brother, I would like to meet you, but I can't. Now is not the right time."

Ning Xu thought, so what if he is the emperor? He still has his own concerns and frustrations. "Then I will have to protect him first."

Queen, "I'll leave it to you, Third Brother."

She and the emperor also thought about secretly recognizing him in private, but they were afraid that once they did, Rong Chuan would not be able to pretend to be genuine, and they were also afraid that they would not be able to control their emotions. Now that the forces behind the scenes have not been uncovered, their son cannot recognize him.

The only consolation is that they know who their biological son is and who they should protect. Moreover, based on their son's appearance, no one will doubt him even if the Ning Mansion intervenes. Everyone knows that the eldest son of the Ning family is a headache for Old Master Ning.

Ning Xu was willing to protect Rongchuan. Just based on Rongchuan's appearance, he was very willing to protect him and felt that it was like protecting his elder brother.

The Queen suddenly said, "Next time, when Third Brother gives Rongchuan something, choose something that can be sold for silver. This child likes silver."

Peace of mind, "......."

No, sister, this is a bit difficult for me. I am delivering this gift to your door, and can I tell Rongchuan that you can sell it?

At noon, at Zhou's residence in Jinzhou, Zhulan saw Zhou Shuren as soon as she got off the carriage and walked over happily, "Why are you home?"

Zhou Shuren saw his son running over, so he held him up and said, "I knew you would come back today, so I took a leave of absence."

Zhulan was delighted, "I didn't write to you to tell you that I would come back today, but you knew it. Does this count as telepathy?"

Zhou Shuren walked back with his son in his arms, "Yes, we are in sync."

Changzhong hugged his father's neck tightly, "Dad, I miss you too."

Zhou Shuren, "Daddy misses you too."

Zhulan looked at Zhou Shuren and his son and said, "It's better to go home."

Zhou Shuren leaned over to Zhulan's ear and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

The people at the gate watched helplessly as their parents left them and went back to the yard.

Li's eyes widened, "Mom ignored us!"

Boss Zhou and the others looked up at the sky in silence. She indeed ignored them and didn't even glance at them. In mother's eyes, there was only father!

Chang Lian was also depressed. He thought his father would say a few words to him, but he completely ignored him. His biological father only had his mother in his eyes.
