Chapter 945: Guess

Zhou Shuren stared at the fishing rod. "That's because you have a bad memory. This is not good. How old are you and your memory is declining? You need to pay more attention to rest."

Wang Ju pouted, "I'm in good health. By the way, this guy is not young anymore. Is he engaged?"

Zhou Shuren turned his head and said, "I noticed that you seem to like matchmaking."

Wang Ju was indeed thinking about it. There were many unmarried women in the Wang clan. "I am not just worrying about you."

Zhou Shuren glanced at Wang Ju and said, "Don't even think about it. We're already engaged."

Wang Ju thought to herself what a pity. Then the fishing rod moved. She pulled it up and looked at it, grinning, "This is the first one I caught. This fish is not small."

Zhou Shuren stared at his fishing rod without moving, and snorted. After Wang Ju finished boasting, Zhou Shuren asked, "Did Mr. Wang tell you where you were going?"

Wang Ju pulled out a blade of grass and said, "The Ministry of Rites is good."

Now that the Tao family has been cleared out of the Ministry of Rites, it is his chance to go there. In his father's words, as long as he is capable enough, the Ministry of Rites is the best stepping stone. To be honest, he should thank his eldest brother-in-law for committing suicide, otherwise, he really would not be able to enter the Ministry of Rites.

Zhou Shuren nodded. This was pretty much what he guessed. Wang Ju would need to work for many years in the Ministry of Rites, but Wu Ming would not stay there for long. Thinking of Wu Ming, Zhou Shuren's thoughts began to drift away.

Wang Ju looked at the fence by the lake. "The fence by the lake is as tall as me. How come it was built so high?"

He was half a head taller than Zhou Shuren, and it was the first time he saw such a high fence.

Zhou Shuren came back to his senses. "My wife said that the lakeside and the rockery are the places in the backyard where accidents are most likely to happen. In order to avoid accidents during the banquet, it is better to cut off the source directly. You see, it is difficult to fall into the lake from such a high altitude."

The corners of Wang Ju's mouth twitched, and she thought of Mr. Zhou Si, who had also fallen into the lake.

Zhou Shuren continued, "Look at the material of the fence. I use the strongest material. It will definitely not fall down."

Wang Ju choked while drinking tea, "How afraid are you that someone will fall into the lake?"

Zhou Shuren looked at him with disdain, "I don't believe your family isn't afraid?"

Wang Ju choked. Well, he was afraid too. This kind of thing had happened before at a banquet at the Wang family. It had nothing to do with the Wang family, but because it happened at the Wang family, the Wang family also got into a lot of trouble.

Wang Ju looked at the tall fence and thought that the Wang family could also build it that high!

In the garden, Yu Shuang kept coughing. Yu Lu was helpless, "Sister, if your throat is uncomfortable, how about asking a doctor to take a look?"

Yu Shuang glared, "Who am I doing this for? You said you were hiding here, but Wang Wei looked in here several times. If you really don't want to see him, why should we go back to the yard? Why are we standing here in the sun?"

Yu Lu tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand, "Sister, keep your voice down, keep your voice down."

Yu Shuang snorted, "I know what's going on. Don't worry, they can't hear me."

Yu Lu lowered her head and continued to pluck the petals, "I'm sorry."

Yesterday, grandma said that Wang Wei would come, and it was grandpa who specifically asked for him. She knew that Wang Wei came for her, so she felt even more embarrassed.

Yu Shuang had experience with Gu Liu Feng, and although she would avoid him, she also talked to him openly, "Why are you embarrassed? It's not like you two are talking alone. You have maids and women around you, and we are here too!"

Yu Lu's ears turned red. Even though she knew everything, she was really nervous about Wang Wei.

Yu Shuang regretted, "If I had known I wouldn't have fooled Yu Die."

She was afraid that Yudie would say something wrong, so she tricked her sister into playing in the house and promised her many benefits. But in the end, Yudie ended up making trouble!

Yu Lu raised her head, then her eyes widened, her ears and neck turned red.

Yu Shuang was stunned, "What's wrong with you?"

Yu Lu didn’t know how long her elder brother and the others had been there, but she must have heard something, otherwise her elder brother wouldn’t have looked so helpless.

Mingyun coughed, and Yushuang was startled. She turned around and saw that the people who were in the pavilion just now were in the garden. She said in a dry voice, "Brother, Master Meng, Master Wang."

Wang Wei's face was also red. He really overheard it accidentally and couldn't help looking at Yu Lu who was dressed in pink. The Zhou family's garden was very beautiful, with a riot of colour. Wang Wei felt that he didn't like Yu Lu at all, and his face became even redder.

Yu Shuang wanted to go back to the yard, but she looked at her sister and couldn't leave. She secretly pulled Yu Lu's clothes, and Yu Lu came back to her senses and hurriedly greeted her.

Mingyun was upset. This was his biological sister. If it wasn't for his grandfather's instructions, he really wouldn't have brought Wang Wei here. Who knew the timing was so bad? The two little girls happened to be talking, but luckily they didn't say anything out of line. He coughed and said, "I heard from mom that you were going to make flower cakes, so I came to see how many petals you picked."

The heat on Yu Lu's face had dissipated. "I picked quite a lot. I'll make them soon. Brother, please eat more."

Mingyun nodded, "Okay."

My sister’s cooking skills are pretty good, although not as good as my mother’s, but still rare.

Yu Lu pulled her sister and said, "Let's go back first and send some back later."

Wang Wei secretly felt regretful that he hadn't even said a word yet!

In the Hanlin Academy, Chang Lian was always thinking about the Du family. During the break, he asked Rong Chuan, "Your aunt didn't give you a hard time, did she?"

Rong Chuan, "I haven't been to the Duke's Mansion these days. My father said to wait until the Du family leaves, so that my aunt won't be upset if she sees me."

Chang Lian was relieved, "That's good."

Rong Chuan, "I don't think my father did anything to cause the Du family's misfortune."

He has been thinking about this these days. It was so neat and it didn't look like his father's work. But when he asked, his father said it was him.

Chang Lian frowned, "Why do you think so?"

Rong Chuan whispered, "Because the Du family is my aunt's family after all, my father would be cautious if he really took action. This time, arresting Du Luo seems to be a ruthless move. If it weren't for the death of Mrs. Du, Du Luo would definitely not be able to get out."

The Du family will not return to their ancestral hometown in its entirety!

Chang Lian thought about it carefully and realized that Lord Ning really had to be concerned about Lord Ning. "Then who do you think it was?"

Rongchuan looked at Changlian but didn't say what was in his mind. His guess was a little absurd because he thought it was the emperor. The emperor was so good to him. As they got along better, he had an increasingly false impression that the emperor was raising him like his own son.

Especially in the past six months, the emperor has not seen several princes. Instead, he has summoned him to the palace frequently to chat, drink tea, play chess, and sometimes even teach him.

Chang Lian asked, "Why don't you speak?"

Rong Chuan shook his head, "The person I didn't expect might be Grandpa."

Chang Lian didn't know much about Duke Ning. "It's very likely that it was the old Duke. Only the Duke wouldn't have so many concerns."

Rongchuan opened his mouth. No, it was the grandpa who had the most concerns. Second uncle was the future duke, and aunt was the future duke's wife. They both represented the duke's mansion. Grandpa would only teach them a lesson in secret and would not do it openly.

At Zhou's house, Zhulan received a letter from Yang's house.
