Chapter 921 Need help?

Ning Xu's heart skipped a beat. "That shouldn't be the case."

Duke Ning said quietly, "I have to worry about the lessons of history."

Especially in recent days, except for the second prince, the third and fourth princes have also extended their claws to the Ning family. This is a temptation, a crazy temptation.

After Zhou Shuren recovered, he found that the officials of the Ministry of Revenue were secretly observing him. Seeing Qiu Yan hesitated to speak, Zhou Shuren stroked his beard with deep eyes. He knew what these people were thinking without thinking too much. He felt that there were benefits to the misunderstanding. It was a good opportunity to test whether it was a human or a ghost.

In the palace, the emperor abused Zhou Shuren and felt better. After Zhou Shuren left, the emperor slept for two hours. When he woke up, he knew the rumors about Zhou Shuren.

The Emperor asked Eunuch Liu, "Why didn't Zhou Shuren explain and remained silent?"

Eunuch Liu lowered his head and said, "Yes, Lord Zhou allowed himself to be guessed and had no intention of speaking."

The emperor laughed and scolded, "Old fox."

Zhou Shuren has a smooth career, and even though he has good eyesight, he can still make mistakes sometimes. This is an opportunity for him to test others!

The emperor waved his hand, "Okay, don't worry about him."

In Eunuch Liu's heart, Lord Zhou's position has risen sharply today. How long has the emperor not been so happy? This morning, the emperor laughed non-stop, and slept well in the afternoon. Hearing the emperor's happy tone, Eunuch Liu told himself that he would be more polite next time Lord Zhou came.

Zhou family and Zhulan naturally also knew the news, and it spread all over the capital.

Boss Zhou was very anxious, "Mom, how can you still concentrate on reading?"

Zhulan really had no worries. First, there was Rongchuan, and second, she knew her husband. If something really happened or he was scolded, Zhou Shuren would definitely inform her the first time. They were a team and discussed many things together. Since the slanderer had not returned, she knew what was going on.

Seeing that his mother still looked calm, Zhou Laoda said, "Mom, Dad was reprimanded by the Emperor. It's said that Dad has lost his royal love."

Zhu Lan raised her eyebrows, "I thought it would be more outrageous."

Boss Zhou's heart skipped a beat. "Even more outrageous?"

Zhu Lan curled her lips, "For example, being banished from the capital!"

Boss Zhou turned pale with fear. The entire Zhou family depended on his father. For the first time, he felt so deeply that the Zhou family only depended on his father. "Mom, don't scare your son."

Zhulan, "......After all these years, your courage still hasn't grown."

Chang Zhi looked at his mother carefully and felt relieved. In his heart, his mother was no worse than his father. His mother thought his father was fine, so his father must be fine. "Mom, there are so many rumors in the capital, why doesn't Dad explain?"

Zhu Lan looked at Chang Zhi with approval. This kid wasn't stupid. He just didn't care before. Now he got to the point directly. "Your father must be trying to test you."

Boss Zhou was stunned, but Chang Zhi responded, "My son still has a lot to learn."

Zhulan narrowed her eyes and said, "You are already very outstanding at this age. Your father praises you a lot behind your back."

Changzhi's progress is visible to the naked eye. Now Changzhi no longer stays at home with books. He goes to banquets with Su Xuan and goes out to make friends. The previously unknown Mr. Zhou Si has become famous in the capital.

Zhou Laoda was slow to react, but he was not stupid. After thinking for a while, he understood his father's intention and blushed with embarrassment, "Mom, I'm sorry to disappoint you."

He is the eldest brother, but he is still unsteady when encountering problems.

Zhulan smiled and said, "You have done a good job."

The things that the eldest brother has access to are limited, unlike Changzhi who has Su Xuan by his side. In addition, the eldest brother himself is a white-collar worker, so it is normal for him to lose his sense of proportion.

Boss Zhou's face turned red again, and at the same time he thought, fortunately I have Mingyun.

In the Hanlin Academy, Chang Lian listened to Lu Liang's constant chatter and rubbed his forehead, "I'm very busy. Are you done now?"

Lu Liang's eyes widened, "I've said so much, aren't you anxious?"

Because Chang Lian had always ignored him, he inevitably felt dark in his heart. When he heard the rumor this time, he hoped to see Chang Lian panic, but in the end, he exaggerated the rumor and Zhou Chang Lian didn't react at all!

Chang Lian, "My father taught me that whether it was reprimand or reward, it was all the emperor's grace. As subjects, we just need to thank him."

Lu Liang couldn't even utter a word to refute what he said.

Shi Qing had been listening with his ears tilted up, and envy was still in his eyes. Lord Zhou was a good father, and correct teaching was the most intuitive love a father could show to his son.

Is Chang Lian worried? No, he is not. First, when he entered the palace yesterday, the emperor did not get angry with him even though he was in a bad mood, which shows that nothing happened to his father. Second, he knows his father well. The more rumors there are, the more it shows that nothing happened to his father. If something really happened, his father would definitely respond instead of letting the rumors spread.

So Chang Lian is truly stable, even if everyone thinks he is just holding on.

Rongchuan also faced the inquiries. He was not worried about who Uncle Zhou was. Instead, he looked forward to further developments.

Wu Ming of the Ministry of Rites naturally also knew the news, because he was the head of the department. Gu Zhuomin and Wu Ming were working in the same place. Gu Zhuomin was worried and whispered, "Aren't you worried?"

Wu Ming, "What are you worried about?"

Gu Zhuomin frowned, "Master Zhou."

He was really worried, because he knew that Lord Zhou had no relatives to rely on and could only rely on himself. As for in-laws, a marriage could still be divorced, let alone an engagement.

Wu Ming replied calmly, "Are you scared?"

Gu Zhuomin was indeed afraid. He was afraid that he had bet on the wrong horse, but he had no one to cling to except Lord Zhou, so he said, "I'm not afraid."

Wu Ming raised his eyebrows, holding on. He was not in a hurry. He would wait for a few days, just to test Gu Zhuomin. As for his godfather being reprimanded, how could an official have never been reprimanded by the emperor? He did not believe that his godfather would lose the emperor's favor. He had sharp eyes. The emperor was in a bad mood but kept his godfather alone. This was a kind of trust, a trust from the emperor.

You know, he heard a lot of news when he came to the capital. The emperor hasn't met with the ministers in the past two days. Now he is very excited, but it's a pity that he can't show it. It would be good for the officials of the Ministry of Rites to let him see it more clearly this time.

At the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren prepared to go home, his face still expressionless.

Wang Ju didn't dare to go to Zhou Shuren to talk because there were so many people in the Ministry of Revenue. He was afraid that he would bring more trouble to Zhou Shuren. He finally waited until the next government office and chased Zhou Shuren, "If you need any help, you must let me know."

Zhou Shuren, "Squeak."

Wang Ju wanted to hit someone, "Don't think I don't dare to do it."

"I'll give you a chance, do you dare to raise your hand?"

Wang Ju, "......."

He dare not, he really doesn’t dare.

Zhou Shuren's attempts at this level could not test the scheming old fox. He dared to bet that the old man of the Wang family, the Duke of Ning and others must have seen through his thoughts.

Wang Ju reacted, "I am just too concerned."

Zhou Shuren was still quite moved. Of course, it was not that Wang Ju was not smart, but Wang Ju was in the Ministry of Revenue, so he was inevitably affected. In addition, his acting skills have always been great. Facing it intuitively, Wang Ju's worries are normal, "It's rare to have true friends and good brothers in life."

Wang Ju really treats him as a friend, that's why she is so worried about losing her composure, he cherishes it!

Wang Ju felt relieved. She looked at Zhou Shuren's still serious face and admired him so much that people who were far away thought Zhou Shuren had said something serious. "It's good that you know. Be nicer to me in the future, for example, give me fewer tasks."

Zhou Shuren, "Let's not talk about the mission, we are still friends!"

Wang Ju's face darkened. What a black-hearted person.

Zhou Shuren coughed and said, "Since we are friends, you know that all girls in my family are treasures. Your grandson is not allowed to bully my granddaughter in the future."

Wang Ju, "........"

Haha, very good, very Zhou Shuren!
