Chapter 831 Contradiction

After hearing this, Yu was so frightened that her face turned pale. Not to mention Yu, even Ning Hui was dumbfounded, "Grandma, you said there are people from the emperor in the Zhou Mansion?"

Lady Ning snorted, "What are you two concerned about? When Lord Zhou was in Lizhou, the Emperor openly gave him to someone else. Now he has been in Zhou's mansion, and Mrs. Song beside Zhou Yang is the one."

Yu's face turned even paler. Mrs. Song had been by Yang's side today, and her thoughts must have been seen clearly. The Empress did not like her in the first place, and she must be disgusted with her this time.

Ning Hui thought more. When Lord Zhou was not recuperating, he was always by the prince's side. Not long after Lord Zhou had recuperated, something happened in the Ministry of Justice. He remembered hearing his father say a few words that Lord Zhou must have helped the prince discover something and he was recuperating in order not to get involved.

Ning Hui thought about her aunt again. It must be for the sake of the prince that her aunt warned Yu not to offend the Zhou family.

Lady Ningguo said coldly, "Now I know I'm afraid."

The daughter of the Duke knows her best. The Yu family is hostile to the Zhou family and Rongchuan, which is a thorn in the daughter's heart. The daughter must be very angry, otherwise she would not directly send the female official to the Duke's Mansion, but would pass the message privately.

Lady Ningguo turned around and left. Yu's heart had grown big, and Du couldn't get away from it. It was difficult for her to educate Ning Hui, but Du could still do it.

After Mrs. Du knew the purpose of the female official's visit, she knew that her mother-in-law would definitely look for her. Mrs. Du was angry that Mrs. Yu was stupid. She didn't know the situation in her own family, but she still went to visit the Zhou family. The eldest granddaughter of the Zhou family could not get married and would not marry into the Yu family.

The news that the Empress punished Yu, the granddaughter-in-law of the Ningguo Duke's Mansion, spread quickly. Zhao from the Yu Mansion was still thinking of waiting for her father to come back and complain, but after hearing the news, she gave up the idea.

As for going to see Yu, Zhao didn't dare to do so. At this time, the Ningguo Mansion would definitely not welcome her.

At Zhou's residence, Zhulan calmed down after hearing the news and asked Butler Ding in a good mood, "Have you finished cleaning up the yard I asked you to clean up?"

Steward Ding said, "It has been cleaned up and arranged according to your cousin's preferences."

Zhulan stood up and said, "I'll go take a look too."

She received the letter when she was at the farm. Jiang Du had already set out and should be halfway through the journey. When she returned home, she thought about cleaning up the yard for her grandson to live in.

All the large courtyards in the Zhou Mansion were occupied, leaving only a few small courtyards. Finally, they chose the one closest to the study.

The courtyard is not very big, but the location is good and quiet, so Jiang Du can concentrate while studying.

Zhulan looked at the arrangement again. Her understanding of her grandson's growth came from the eldest daughter's reply. "I don't know if Jiang Du will like this arrangement."

Mrs. Song replied, "As long as it's arranged by you, my cousin will definitely like it."

Zhulan thought about Jiang Du's character, that this child was a particularly filial child, and then thought about her grandson's admiration for Zhou Shuren, she couldn't help laughing out loud, Zhou Shuren's fans are here.

Mrs. Song was relieved to see that her mistress was finally happy. If her mistress was unhappy, her master would not be happy either, and the servants would not dare to breathe.

At the Yaohou Mansion, Yao Yao was kneeling with a stomachache and his face was white. Shen Yile noticed and helped him up. "Yao Yao, take a rest. Don't forget that you are not alone now."

The weather is cooler now, and the temperature is dropping quickly. It's cold even if you don't wear enough during the day, let alone kneeling all the time. Even with a cushion, you will feel very cold after a long time.

Yao Yao's stomach was indeed very uncomfortable, and sweat broke out on his forehead. "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Shen Yile asked, "Where is my brother-in-law?"

Yao Yao wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, "He has something urgent to do, so he will be here in a while."

Shen Yile stared at Yao Yao's pale face. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that there seemed to be a conflict between her brother-in-law and Yao Yao.

Shen Yile was happy about the death of her mother-in-law, because without her, some concubines would not dare to interfere with her legitimate son, and no one would be able to give her a concubine openly in the future. The pressure on her was finally lifted.

Yao Yao's mind was a little distracted and she couldn't help touching her belly. She had a bump because of the child and her husband, and pregnant women are sensitive. She felt that her husband was not very excited about the child, so she couldn't help but hold her handkerchief tightly.

Yao Yao lowered her head. As smart as she was, she didn't notice anything when she first got married, but as time went by, she found that her husband was not just a scholar in the Hanlin Academy. A woman's intuition is very accurate. Thinking of her husband always talking about their daughter, Yao Yao felt her stomach hurt even more.

In the afternoon, after school, Gu Liufeng got on the Zhou Mansion's carriage. After getting on the carriage, Gu Liufeng felt very reserved. "Is it okay for me to go empty-handed?"

Mingyun put the book aside, "It's my fault for inviting you at the last minute, but after today, Grandpa will be busy tomorrow, so it's okay, Grandpa doesn't mind."

This morning he told his grandfather about inviting Gu Liufeng, and his grandfather said he wanted to meet him. After getting his grandfather's consent, he told Gu Liufeng directly.

Gu Liufeng felt the silver in his purse. It wasn't much, just over two taels. It was the silver his uncle gave him on his birthday two days ago. A total of five taels, some of which he spent on buying pens and ink.

Gu Liufeng was sitting beside the carriage. When he saw the snack shop, he immediately shouted to stop the carriage. Mingyun knew that Gu Liufeng didn't have much money, and even if he had money, he would have to buy pens and ink. The teachers in their academy liked to give homework, and most of it was dictation, so pens and ink were even more useless.
