Chapter 859: Relieving Stress by Amusing the Son

Zhulan waited until Mrs. Song and the maids had left before she said, "You know what happened at Zhang Jinghong's house, right?"

Zhou Shuren, "I know, now everyone is watching Zhang Jinghong!"

Zhulan talked about Yao Xin again, "Yao Wenqi's actions were quite quick, he took over as soon as he said he would."

"I don't think so. When Yao Wenqi attacked Zhang Jinghong, he must have been prepared."

Zhu Lan sneered, "He doesn't dare to make big moves now. Seven or eight years ago, he still had the confidence to fight to the death. Now too many of his limbs have been cut off, and the emperor has suppressed him in the Marquis' Mansion."

Just waiting for all the turtles to fall into the net and be caught!

Zhou Shuren said quietly, "Regarding the major case in Jianghuai, the Fourth Prince will issue an edict when he returns to the capital. The Minister mentioned to me today that he will be very busy in the next few days. I think in a few days, he will issue an edict to confiscate the property, and the confiscated silver will be deposited in the Ministry of Revenue."

Zhulan was surprised, "I thought I would have to wait until after the New Year."

Zhou Shuren lowered his voice, "Although the Minister did not tell me, I saw that he was very excited. The amount of silver confiscated must be huge. If the silver is not deposited into the treasury, the emperor will not be able to spend the New Year in peace."

"It's been less than a month or two, and it's the bloody New Year again."

Zhou Shuren held his wife's hand and said, "This won't stop in the next few years."

Zhulan leaned on her husband's shoulders, her thin shoulders carrying a large family, "I will still take care of our yard, you don't have to worry about it."

"We are a united couple and will definitely not involve our family."

"Um."

In Zhoujia Village, Xuemei read through her son's letter again. Jiang Sheng couldn't bear to read it anymore. "How many times have you read the letter since you got it?"

Xuemei closed the letter carefully. "I just can't get enough of reading it. This is the first time my son has written a letter to our family."

"You can rest assured now. Your parents-in-law love their son very much."

Xuemei put away the letter and said, "I have always been relieved. Did you see that the tone of my son's letter was cheerful? He likes the academy very much. My son has become much more cheerful."

Jiang Sheng was relieved, "My father-in-law is still good at educating children."

"That's right. My father and mother are the best at educating children. Look at my brothers. They are so successful now. It's all because of their good teaching."

"Yes, yes, father-in-law and mother-in-law are the best."

Xuemei burst out laughing, then said helplessly, "Today the twins told me they were angry. They also want to go to the capital."

Jiang Sheng, "They are still young. They will understand the truth when they grow up."

Xuemei sighed, "My palms and backs are all made of flesh. Forget it. I don't want to think about it anymore. It's getting late. Let's go to bed early."

"good."

The next day, Yao Yao came to Zhou's house with a bulging belly. Zhu Lan stared at Yao Yao's face, "It was not easy for you to be pregnant with this baby. Why are you going out on such a snowy day?"

Yao Yao carefully held her waist and sat down. "Thank you for your concern, Shu Ren. I'm much better now. The imperial physician said that walking more is good for the fetus."

Zhulan motioned for the maids to go down, "You must be here for something."

Yao Yao whispered, "I want to take back the business that I entrusted to the Zhou family."

Zhulan was surprised, "Isn't this your way out?"

Yao Yao moved the corners of her mouth and showed a bitter smile on her face, because she found that her husband had known her retreat for a long time. Her husband mentioned it several times. Everything about the Zhou family was in the eyes of the emperor, so she understood that this retreat could not be left to the Zhou family.

Seeing that Yao Yao was unwilling to talk, Zhulan did not ask any more questions, "Wait a moment, I'll ask Mrs. Song to get it."

Yao Yao was really embarrassed, "Thank you, Shu Ren."

Zhulan asked the child, "Is the child moving vigorously now?"

Yao Yao's face was full of maternal love as she carefully touched her belly. "This child is a naughty one. Since she could move, she has been making a fuss in my belly every day. She must be a wild girl."

Zhulan didn't say it was her son, but smiled and said, "You should be more careful and try not to go out on snowy days in the future."

Yao Yao treasured her belly the most. If she hadn't heard what Yao Xin said yesterday, she wouldn't have been so anxious. "Yeah."

Mrs. Song came back soon, and Zhulan said, "All the things you entrusted to me are here, take a look."

Yao Yao opened the box. She was not afraid that the Zhou family would do something wrong. Instead, she looked through it generously to reassure the Zhou family that she was not the kind of person who would do something behind their back. "They are all correct."

Zhulan nodded, "Then keep it."

Yao Yao thanked him again. As for the thank you gift, the one just given was already there. "It's getting late. I'll go back first."

"good."

Zhulan waited for Yao Yao to leave, then opened the box that had just been delivered. Inside the box was a painting and a rare ancient book. Zhulan felt them and thought they should be Yao Yao's dowry.

Inside the palace, the emperor was eating pine nuts. He looked at Rong Chuan who didn't do anything and pushed the plate in front of him towards him. "Eat, don't look at me."

Rongchuan looked at the prince peeling pine nuts. He couldn't eat it. The prince was peeling pine nuts, and he ate it? Why did he feel it was wrong?

The prince was in a good mood. He put the peeled meat in Rongchuan's hand and said, "Eat it."

Rongchuan felt dizzy and wanted to ask, what's wrong with you two?

The emperor looked at his son with a smile in his eyes. He felt addicted to teasing his son, especially when his son looked confused. He was really cute. "Eat it. Today's pine nuts are good and fragrant."

Rongchuan let out a cry and put it in his mouth. It smelled good, but he was still worried. He wanted to go home to see his father. The emperor had been too good to him in recent days, and he was afraid of it!

The emperor saw that the prince was still sitting and pointed to the table opposite him, "You are not needed here."

The prince looked at the folded paper on the table, "......Yes."

You need to amuse your son to relieve stress, and he needs it too. There have been too many things going on recently, especially the big case in Jianghuai. His heart is filled with blood, and he also needs to bully his brother to have fun.

The emperor handed a plate of unpeeled pine nuts to Rongchuan, "You peel these."

Rong Chuan blinked his eyes. He finally figured it out. Today he went to the palace to peel pine nuts. What did he do the last time he went to the palace? Yes, to make tea. He made tea for the whole morning!

Zhou Shuren took a leave from the Ministry of Revenue and went to the Ministry of Justice. The Ministry of Justice had more contact with the Dali Temple, so he became familiar with the officials of the Ministry of Justice and was really grateful to the prince for taking him to visit the six ministries.

At the Ministry of Justice, Zhou Shuren got off the carriage. As soon as he entered the Ministry of Justice, the Minister of Justice, Lord Sun, knew about it and thought that there was something important. When Zhou Shuren came over, his heart was beating fast, "Why did Lord Zhou come here?"

The Ministry of Justice can't stand it anymore, he is very annoyed with Zhou Shuren now!

Zhou Shuren knew that Lord Sun disliked him and ignored him during court sessions. "Ah, I'm here to see Master Lei."

Mr. Sun frowned, "Business?"

"No, it's a personal matter, purely personal."

Lord Sun didn't let go, it's good that it's not official business, "Then I won't entertain Lord Zhou, Lord Zhou, please."

Zhou Shuren's mouth twitched. This was really annoying to him. He didn't want to keep him any longer. "Well, I'll leave first."

"Um."
