Chapter 863 Regret

Why did Xiao Qing ask Zhou Shuren to come? It was simple. He didn't want to deal with the trouble of the Fifth Prince. So the more capable, the more work. It was a blessing to have a useful assistant. "I know, so the Fifth Prince is just here to settle the account."

The prince looked at the tea leaves in the cup silently. Hmm, the leaves were very neat. He picked it up and smelled it. It was not bad.

Zhou Shuren continued to curse in his heart, his heart ached. Damn it, those who are capable have to work harder. Ah, he missed Wang Ju very much now!

At the Shi Mansion, Yao Yao counted the food and meat that her husband had asked her to prepare, and the most important thing was the medicinal materials.

This was what her husband asked her to prepare yesterday. These were all to be given to Zhang Jinghong. She didn't think this was her husband's original intention. Her husband didn't want to say more, only saying that he was giving them to Yao Xin in her name to fulfill the sisterly love.

But she and Yao Xin really had no feelings for each other. Even if Yao Xin had changed now, sorry, she had never thought about sticking up for Yao Xin. But since her husband had mentioned it, she had to do it.

She hadn't paid attention to Yao Xin in the past few days, but she knew that Yao Xin must be having a hard time.

The housekeeper asked, "Madam, everything is ready. Shall we send it over now?"

Yao Yao looked at the disapproval in the housekeeper's eyes and felt upset. This was really not her intention. "Yeah."

The housekeeper sighed. The young master had finally passed the imperial examination and entered the Hanlin Academy, but now the mistress was not completely separated from Miss Yao San and even sent her gifts, hoping that the young master would not be implicated. But he remembered that the young master said before he left that he would listen to the mistress, so he could only resign himself to his fate and ask the servant to bring him food.

In the afternoon, at Zhou's residence, Li returned with a grin on her face, "Mom, I talked with Ma for a long time at the banquet today."

Zhulan took a moment to respond, "Master Liu's wife?"

"Yes, it was her. I was still thinking about how to approach her today, but it was Ma who spoke first. She and my daughter-in-law have a bad temper."

Zhulan thought, of course you two have the same temper, "What did you talk about?"

Mrs. Li smiled even more happily, "Mother, Mrs. Ma took the initiative to mention Miss Liu, and I even talked to Miss Liu. Miss Liu was very open and didn't seem to be introverted at all."

Zhu Lan was very happy after hearing this. "I had discussed with your father that we would invite Lord Lei to have tea and discuss the Liu family's affairs when your father was on leave. Unexpectedly, the Liu family took the initiative. Good, good, both parties are willing, and this marriage will have fewer twists and turns."

Mrs. Li likes girls who are blessed. She always uses herself as a standard and thinks she is the representative of blessing. "Mother, my daughter-in-law also thinks that Miss Liu is very good."

Zhulan was already happily thinking about who to find to act as a matchmaker. After screening her mind, she actually came up with a few good candidates.

Li asked, "Mother, since both parties are interested, when will the engagement be held?"

She hoped to get engaged soon. Since her son was not engaged, she became very popular. She was a little scared to take part in acting activities during this period.

Zhulan, "Let me discuss this with your father."

"Mom, I'm going back first."

"good."

Li was a person who could not control her mouth and could not stay in the house. She would go to the yard of the second room to chat, and then go to the fourth room to see the children. By the evening, several rooms knew that the marriage with the Liu family was basically done.

Today, Zhou Shuren came back from the Ministry of Revenue after having dinner. Zhulan looked at her husband, who looked like a frost-bitten eggplant, and said, "I heard today that the emperor rewarded you again, why don't you look happy?"

Zhou Shuren took off his shoes and lay down, not wanting to move. "The fifth prince will come to the Ministry of Revenue to report tomorrow."

Zhulan, ".......I sympathize with you."

Zhou Shuren sat up suddenly. Because he came back late, his wife had already sent away Mrs. Song and the maid, and there was no one in the room. Zhou Shuren muttered, "The emperor is adding fuel to the fire. Jiang Huai's case was closed, the fifth prince was released from confinement and entered the Ministry of Revenue. Is he forcing the other party to take action?"

Zhu Lan poured Zhou Shuren a glass of water and said, "The more the Fifth Prince is valued, the more courageous he becomes to the other side."

Zhou Shuren drank the water in the cup, "The Crown Prince and several princes are in danger this time."

"If the emperor dares to do this, he must have made preparations. However, I don't think he will act easily."

Zhou Shuren lay down again, "I think so too."

Zhulan, "Speaking of something happy, today Ma took the initiative to chat with the eldest son's wife. When do you think we can choose a day to visit?"

Zhou Shuren thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait until I invite Lei to come to the rescue. We must honor our promise."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

At Shi's residence, Shi Qing waited for his wife to come back from bathing, and took the handkerchief from the maid to wipe his wife's hair. "I've been back for so long, don't you have anything to ask me?"

Yao Yao sat in front of the bronze mirror, looking at her husband and shaking her head. "If you want to say it, you will say it. If you don't want to say it, I won't ask any more questions. You must have your own reasons for doing what you do. From what I have seen, my husband has been working hard to protect me and the children, and that's enough."

Shi Qing lowered his eyes to look at the bulging belly. Where was his child? He continued to wipe his wife's hair carefully. "After the rest, I will go to the temple with you. Aren't you going to chant for your mother-in-law? I will go with you this time."

Yao Yao curled the corners of his mouth and said, "Okay."

Sometimes, people don't need to live too clearly. In the past, she wanted to see through everything, and she would feel uneasy if she couldn't. Now, she has finally learned how to feel more at ease.

At Zhang Jinghong's house, Yao Xin tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. Zhang Jinghong sat up helplessly, "If you can't sleep, let's talk?"

Yao Xin pulled her husband to lie down, "Don't get cold, but I really don't understand. I was not a good person before. The distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children meant that I had to fight for favor to get what I wanted. I really schemed against this legitimate sister, so why did she help me when I was in the most difficult time?"

Today's food is a small matter, the main thing is the medicinal materials, and they are all good medicinal materials. The amount delivered today is enough for a month.

Zhang Jinghong had an embarrassed look on his face. He seldom thought of Miss Yao Er, all because he had cheated on her in the past and didn't want to recall it. The past was too stupid. He shouldn't have started the conversation. This topic really couldn't be discussed.

Yao Xin didn't get a response from her husband. She thought about it and realized that this woman was narrow-minded. She also remembered that her husband didn't want to marry her at the beginning. She grabbed the quilt and pulled it hard, pulling out most of the quilt.

Zhang Jinghong, "......."

Don’t worry about whether he is cold or not at this moment!

The next day, Zhou Shuren saw Zhang Yang in the court. Yes, it was in the court. Zhang Yang was standing behind the third prince. Zhou Shuren took only one look at the prince's court robes and looked away decisively.

The third prince didn't want to get too close to the idiot, so he took a step forward and almost bumped into the second prince.

Zhang Jingyang gritted his teeth and turned back, "Are you going to get close to me?"

Zhang Jingshi pretended not to hear and continued looking at the jade pendant around his waist.

Zhou Shuren heard a lot of throat clearing sounds. Well, he wanted to laugh too. Zhang Yang, you are a prince, why are you shrinking your neck?

The emperor will definitely regret letting Zhang Yang attend the morning court when he arrives!
