Chapter 785: Prince, Please Go

Several princes also had many speculations. Although the Second Prince was in Pinggang, he was very concerned about any news about the Crown Prince, especially since he had just suffered a loss from the Crown Prince in the Ministry of Revenue.

Zhang Jingyang was thinking about the Ning family. Duke Ning kept a low profile, but that didn't change the fact that he was the prince's maternal grandfather. The prince couldn't enter the palace, and he and the third brother were highly valued by their father. Was the Ning family really not in a hurry?

Zhang Jingyang felt that Lord Ning's actions must have been instructed by Duke Ning. As for Lord Ning's intentions, as long as he kept a close eye on them, he would find out sooner or later.

At the Third Prince's Mansion, Zhang Jingshi paid special attention to the news when he heard it. Lord Ning was the prince's uncle, but he couldn't understand why it would be better to treat Zhou Changlian directly than to win over the Zhou family through Zhang Rongchuan.

However, we must not let the Crown Prince try to influence Lord Zhou. Lord Zhou is highly valued by my father, and the Crown Prince is very polite to Lord Zhou. If Lord Zhou really wants to speak for the Crown Prince, my father will probably listen. Yes, the Crown Prince is still in the Ministry of Revenue, and it is possible that Lord Ning is a cover, and the Crown Prince is personally trying to influence Lord Zhou.

The third prince Zhang Jingshi thought more and more that this was the case. The prince was really insidious and he was almost deceived by him again.

In the Fourth Prince's Mansion, Zhang Jingxi also suspected the Crown Prince, but he was more concerned about how to get a job. The second and third sons all had jobs to recruit people, but he alone had no job at all.

Zhang Jingxi was jealous of the second and third brothers, and was thinking about making trouble for them, so he took over the task. As for matters related to the crown prince, he didn't want to get involved for the time being, lest he and the crown prince get into a fight and benefit the second and third brothers.

Inside the palace, the emperor felt sad. "Qingran, why is this fruit sour when I eat it?"

The Queen rolled her eyes in her heart, "My son has a new mother, but I'm not jealous. This fruit is quite sweet."

The emperor put down the fruit and said, "You are just being stubborn."

"You see it but don't say it, Your Majesty."

If the emperor wasn't the most important, she would really beat him out.

The emperor hummed in his heart, "I just realized that your third brother is really thoughtful. This express horse sent the freshest fruit from Jiangnan. Your third brother didn't do it on impulse. He has long been preparing to be a father and cultivate his relationship with Rongchuan."

He tried so hard to please his son, but he's still not touched!

The Queen looked at the Emperor. How could the Emperor not guess what Ning Mansion was thinking? No, it should be Father and Ning Xu's thoughts. He just endured it for the sake of being good to his son. The Emperor said sourly, "We also benefited from it. Look, Third Brother didn't forget to send it to the palace."

The emperor remained silent, sighing quietly in his heart. So be it.

The next day, Mr. Deng arrived early in the morning. Zhulan asked, "How come you found a nice manor so quickly?"

Mr. Deng was also very puzzled. "I went to inquire yesterday afternoon and there were no manors for sale. But this morning, there were two manors for sale. One of them was 70 mu in area, and the other was with a mountain, which was nearly 90 mu in area."

Zhulan didn't believe such a coincidence. She knew very well how difficult it was to buy a manor near the capital, so she asked Deng Xiucai to take a look first. It was not only because she didn't have enough money, but also because manors were hard to find.

Although Ms. Deng had not visited the two manors that had just appeared, she could guess that they must be good in terms of location and renovation.

Mr. Deng was very anxious. "It's rare to get two manors in one go. I rushed over as soon as I got the news. Why don't you go down and take a look?"

Zhulan had calculated everything, ignoring the Ningguo Mansion and the palace to fill the Zhou family, but the Zhou family currently had no money, which made her a little depressed. "How much do the two houses cost?"

Mr. Deng remembered it clearly and replied, "The 70-mu one is 5,000 taels, because the manor was renovated only a few years ago and there is a spring inside. The 90-mu one is 6,000 taels, because the location of this manor is particularly good. I heard that the area of ​​the manor is also very large. In fact, the prices of these two manors are a bit low."

He did not think much about it, he just thought that someone wanted to give the Zhou family a manor, otherwise, it would not be such a coincidence. The Zhou family was no longer a small family, so he was not surprised that someone was trying to curry favor with them. However, he still had to find out whose manor it was to avoid trouble.

Zhulan thought to herself, it's more than low, "Let's go to the manor and take a look."

She had no money, but her son and daughter-in-law did. It was a good thing that her sons had more money. If they borrowed some, the money would come out. If the amount of money was not too large and she didn't want to sell anything, she really didn't want to borrow money from her son's family.

It is not clear how much money the Zhou family has, so the price of the manor is so low. After Rongchuan recognizes his relationship and the thank-you gift from the Ning Mansion arrives, the price of the manor will definitely not be so cheap.

If you don’t buy this wave, you will lose out.

Zhulan went to see Zhuangzi, not only herself but also her eldest grandson. It happened to be a day when the academy was closed, so she took her eldest grandson with her to broaden her horizons.

As for the female relatives, she brought along Li and Zhao, both for the purpose of broadening their horizons.

At the Duke's Mansion, Madam Du and the other children sat down. "I called you here today because I have something to tell you."

The eldest room, Ning Zhiqi heard a few words from his daughter Ning Ting yesterday. Although he is not very smart, he is not stupid either. He guessed that it has something to do with the Zhou family. "Mom, you talk, we listen."

Ning Zhiqi's wife, Song was thinking in her heart, and glanced at her brother's sister-in-law Yu. These days, her mother-in-law was close to her and treated Yu much worse. Seeing Yu leaning forward, she knew in her heart that Yu cared more about the Zhou family's affairs than she did. You know, the Ning Mansion also knew that her uncle had sent Zhang Rongchuan fruits with great fanfare yesterday.

Mrs. Du said succinctly, "Your uncle has a son. Yes, it's Zhang Rongchuan."

Song was stunned. This news was somewhat shocking. Ning Zhiqi came back to her senses and asked, "Mother, are you saying that Zhang Rongchuan from the Zhou Mansion is my uncle's son?"

Ning Zhixiang had some guesses about his uncle's behavior, and now that they have been confirmed, he feels empty inside.

Yu didn't believe it, "Mom, Zhang Rongchuan doesn't look like my uncle? Could we be mistaken?"

Mrs. Du looked at her second daughter-in-law. She cared more about her uncle's title and family background than she did. "Rongchuan does not look like your uncle, but he looks exactly like your late uncle. Your father said that he looks 80% like him. If Rongchuan doesn't speak, it's as if your uncle is alive."

Ning Zhixiang has met Rongchuan before. "He also looks like grandpa and dad, but grandpa and dad are old, so they don't look very similar."

Ning Zhiqi's eyes widened, "Are they really that similar?"

Mrs. Du, "What your father said must be true. It is about the bloodline of the Ning State Mansion. Your father asked me to tell you that everything must have been investigated clearly. This is what I want to say. We will recognize each other in a few days. You should be polite to the Zhou family in the future."

Song thought of her cousin who was about to get married, so she asked, "Mother, what about Rongchuan's marriage?"

Mrs. Du snorted, "Don't even think about it. Not to mention that the Zhou family has done a great favor to the Ning family, your uncle doesn't like anyone interfering in the Ning Marquis's Mansion. Besides, your grandmother has given you the warm jade bracelet. Your grandfather and uncle are very satisfied with this marriage. I warn you, be polite to Miss Zhou and don't act like your future sister-in-law. You are just cousins."

Song was so embarrassed that she felt ashamed. As soon as she came up with the idea, she was ruthlessly criticized by her mother-in-law. She could no longer stay in this house.

Yu pursed her lips, she was also thinking, it seems that the entire Ning family attaches great importance to Zhang Rongchuan!

Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren looked at the health tea in the cup with a wooden face. When will the prince leave?

I'm calling. I don't know what's going on these days. In the past, the power outages never lasted more than two hours. . . . .
