Chapter 778: It's Like Marrying a Daughter

In Ninghou Mansion, Ning Xu had finished briefly telling the story he had made up. He stared at Rongchuan nervously, fearing that Rongchuan would find out something was wrong. Seeing Rongchuan's calm face, he was extremely nervous. "This is what happened back then. Dad didn't protect you and your mother. You have reason to blame Dad. It's all Dad's fault. Dad is sorry for you."

Rong Chuan loosened his clenched fist, his heart was filled with mixed emotions. The Marquis had shown it clearly before, and he had a premonition in his heart. He would be lying if he wasn't excited after hearing it with his own ears today. His throat was a little dry, "So, I was born in anticipation?"

Ning Xu's tone was very certain this time, "Yes, we are all looking forward to your birth."

There is truth in this; Rongchuan is the emperor and empress's most anticipated son.

The last stone in Rongchuan's heart was gone. He used to worry that he was an illegitimate child or the son of a concubine, but later, Lord Ning's performance made him happy. Now that his background has been confirmed and he was born as his parents expected, Rongchuan feels particularly wronged, and his eyes are red with this grievance.

Ning Houye looked at it and was surprised that golden beans were falling. This was his first time being a father, and his hands and feet went numb. He stood up in panic, "Don't cry, don't cry."

As for the rest, he really didn't know how to comfort his son. Being fierce wouldn't work, and he didn't know what to say softly. In the end, he could only hug Rongchuan. The child was indeed aggrieved. "Cry if you want to!"

Rongchuan was really crying, not out of happiness but more out of aggrieved. He felt particularly aggrieved and just wanted to cry.

Ning Xu felt the tears in her chest and felt distressed. This child should have been the most noble person, but he had suffered too much since he was a child. She patted Rongchuan's back and comforted him slowly.

Rongchuan cried for a while and then stopped. The grievances he felt were vented out, and the depression that had been in his heart completely disappeared. He wiped his tears with some embarrassment, "I don't want to cry either."

Ning Xu smiled, "Dad knows."

Oh, this time he said "Dad" so naturally, it felt so good.

Rong Chuan opened his mouth, but still couldn't call out "Dad". "I, I was able to grow up this big, to enter the Imperial Academy, and my dad was able to recognize me, all because of my uncle and aunt. They treated me no differently from their own son."

Ning Xu was a little disappointed when he didn't hear anyone calling him dad, but he quickly adjusted his mood. Rong Chuan needed some time to adjust, so he was not in a hurry. "Dad knows everything. Dad has already checked it out. The Zhou family has been very kind to us."

That’s right, it’s us. We are indebted to the royal family and to Ning Mansion!

Rongchuan didn't pay attention to his words and suddenly became nervous, "I'm engaged, and I only recognize Xuehan."

Ning Xi, "......I don't object."

Why does it feel like marrying off a daughter?

After dinner at the Zhou Mansion, news came from the Ninghou Mansion that Rongchuan would not be coming back tonight, so there was no need to wait for Rongchuan and the gates could be locked.

Chang Lian had been keeping an eye on Rong Chuan. After hearing the news, Chang Lian said quietly, "After a few days, I will go to the Imperial Academy alone."

Dong Chuchu didn't hear clearly, "Husband, what did you say?"

Chang Lian smiled and said, "Nothing."

Dong Chuchu said, "Come to think of it, Lord Ning is really good to Rongchuan."

Chang Lian thought to himself, since the Marquis is Rongchuan's biological father, of course he will be nice to Rongchuan. In the future, Rongchuan will be the eldest son of the Ning Marquis's Mansion, the future Ning Marquis, and also his brother-in-law. Chang Lian grinned, he will have a Marquis brother-in-law.

Dong Chuchu felt that her husband had something in his heart that he didn't tell her. Thinking that her husband went straight to the main courtyard after returning, she didn't ask, he would know sooner or later. She was more concerned about her belly. The lady could walk and run, but her belly was still not moving.

Dong Chuchu thought of the letter from her mother, asking her if she was pregnant and urging her to have a son. She also wanted a son, but tried hard but failed. She thought of the recipe for having a child her mother gave her and pursed her lips.

Chang Lian saw that his wife hadn't said anything for a long time, "What's wrong?"

Dong Chuchu, "Nothing."

Chang Lian didn't think much about it, "I'll go take a shower first."

"good."

In the main courtyard, Zhu Lan was a little absent-minded. "You said, we knew in our hearts that Rongchuan would move out sooner or later, but Rongchuan suddenly didn't come home, and I felt bad."

Zhou Shuren said, "Don't talk about you. I feel the same way. People are emotional. We have raised Rongchuan for so many years. There is no difference between Rongchuan and Changli."

Zhulan smiled, there was indeed no difference. They had just arrived in the ancient times not long ago and did not have much feelings for Changli and the others. Rongchuan also came to the Zhou family at that time.

In the Beijing wine shop, Shen Yang was a little drunk and said to the Fifth Prince, "The Zhou family and the Ning family are really close. The Crown Prince is under house arrest. Hey, the Zhou family is so close to the Ning family. How stupid."

Zhang Jinghong looked at the drunk Shen Yang in confusion. This was stupid. Did Shen Yang forget that he was the brother of the Fifth Prince and the Crown Prince from the same mother? The Ning Mansion was also his maternal family. "My mother is also the Empress Dowager."

After saying that, Zhang Jinghong stood up and left. He couldn't stay for fear of being infected and becoming stupid. He couldn't become stupid or he would die!

After hearing this, Shen Yang sobered up immediately. Yes, the Fifth Prince was the Crown Prince's biological brother, and he actually forgot about it. However, it was not his fault. He had known the Fifth Prince for such a long time, but the Fifth Prince had never mentioned the Crown Prince. In addition, the Fifth Prince handled Lord Sun's matter impartially, and the Fifth Prince had always followed the Second Prince, so he ignored it.

Shen Yang staggered to his feet and wanted to find the Fifth Prince to explain, but when he went downstairs, the carriage had gone far away. He thought, it's over.

The next day, Chang Lian went to the Hanlin Academy. Rong Chuan had just arrived as well, riding in the Marquis's carriage. He saw Rong Chuan's red and swollen eyes, indicating that he had been crying. He looked away and said, "Here he comes."

Rongchuan felt a little embarrassed. His eyes were still a little swollen after applying the mask. "Yeah."

Chang Lian patted Rong Chuan on the shoulder, "We are still brothers."

Rongchuan smiled, "Well, we have always been brothers."

The Zhou family gave him a home when he needed warmth the most, and the Zhou family will always be the most important in his heart.

When Chang Lian arrived at the room of the scholar-official, he saw Shen Yang lying on the table. He was so arrogant yesterday, but today his eyes were dark and he looked very haggard. Chang Lian frowned, too lazy to take another look at him.

Shen Yang was extremely nervous. He was afraid that he might anger the Fifth Prince, so he was in a state of panic the whole night. He drank too much and his head hurt a little, and now he was confused.

In the imperial palace, in the Zheng Hall, Zhou Shuren and the Minister of Works stayed behind. Yes, there was also the Third Prince who was assigned a task, and the task of planning the capital fell on the Third Prince.

Although the second prince did not get an assignment in the capital, he did have another assignment. He was in charge of overseeing the expansion of the Pinggang port.

Both princes have got jobs, and they are both good jobs. The emperor promoted the third prince today, and the court, which was in turmoil yesterday, has calmed down today. The emperor's thoughts are too difficult to guess, and the ministers have become more cautious for a while.

The third prince Zhang Jingshi was very excited, he hadn't made any plans yet but the task fell on him. It seemed that his father still valued him more.
