Chapter 979: Mr. Zhou has worked hard

Ran Zheng was completely free now, and he didn't have to worry about himself. His eldest son was doing well outside, and his youngest son was recovering from his injuries. He just had to take care of the family. He relaxed and said with a smile, "Recently I have been forcing a few grandchildren to study. Our Ran Xun is too naughty."

He didn't have time to care about Ran Xun before, but now that his mind is on his grandchildren, he finally knows what Ran Xun has done.

Zhou Shuren quite likes Ran Xun, a boy with a genuine temperament. "Ming Teng and Ran Xun are good brothers. They know when to act silly."

Ran Zheng stroked his beard, "Ran Xun has grown up this time. He couldn't concentrate on his studies before, but he has been much more serious these past two days."

Zhou Shuren nodded. The Ran family had experienced both good and bad things. Now it seemed that the good things outweighed them. In the past, Ran Zheng's grandsons would not have worked so hard. This incident told them that if they did not work hard, they would be nothing. It is true that fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. At least the three generations of the Ran family do not have to worry.

In the yard, Ran Wan saw Mingyun. She used to look at Mingyun secretly, but this time she raised her head openly and smiled slightly.

Mingyun looked at her carefully and smiled. His future wife was very strong. She took two steps forward and said, "I wanted to ask if you were okay, but now it seems unnecessary."

Ran Wan's smile deepened, "I'm sorry to have worried you."

This realization made her heart leap with joy. Zhou Mingyun was too good at pretending. If he wasn't worried about her, he wouldn't have come over to ask.

Mingyun smiled, "Yeah."

Ran Wan blushed, but before she could say anything, Zhou Mingyun had already turned around and left.

Xue Han stood far away and chatted with her niece, "Mingyun is too reserved, as if he is the girl."

Yu Shuang chuckled, "Aunt, not everyone is like Uncle Rongchuan."

Uncle Rongchuan wanted to let everyone know that he loved his aunt. Everyone has a different personality. It was a great progress that his elder brother was able to approach Ran Wan and say a few words to her today.

Xue Han covered her mouth with her fan, "You've received a lot of small gifts. I think Gu Liufeng and Rong Chuan look alike."

Yu Shuang's face was not as thick as her aunt's. Her aunt had been teased since she was a child, but she couldn't stand it. Her face turned red immediately, "Aunt, you are teasing me."

"You are allowed to tease me, but I am not allowed to tease you back? That doesn't make sense."

Yu Shuang stamped her feet. She couldn't convince her aunt, so she pulled Yu Lu to find Ran Wan.

Xue Han didn't want to quarrel with the little girl. She was going to get married, so she said to Liu Li, "Let's go back too."

At the Fifth Prince's residence, the Crown Prince and several princes came to see Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang was injured on his forehead, but the forehead was not the most serious part of his injury. The most serious part was his leg. Although there was no fracture, it was severely sprained and would take more than a month or two to heal.

Prince Liang looked around, his gaze was not on Zhang Yang who was pretending to rest, but on his brothers.

Prince Qi shook the tea bowl but refused to drink. To be precise, ever since the fifth brother was poisoned, he and his brothers have become more cautious about what they drink. They even rarely go to restaurants, let alone eat at their brothers' homes.

The King of Qi had had enough fun and put down his tea bowl. "Old Four, your eyes are scanning everywhere. What? Who do you suspect?"

Prince Liang swept his sleeves and said, "Many people have suspected my younger brother, and my second brother was the first to be unable to hold back. Why don't you confess yourself?"

King Qi sneered, "I don't know what you are thinking. You just want the situation to get more chaotic. If you don't have any evidence, it's the same as saying it. Well, be polite. It's the same as not saying it. You'd better shut up."

The King of Chu laughed happily, especially when the fourth brother was scolded, "Second brother, you don't know yet, but the fourth brother's mouth is getting stinkier and stinkier. I can smell it from far away."

As he spoke, he blocked his nose with a fan, as if he was really being smoked.

The smiling face of the King of Liang turned cold. "Third brother, you have such a sensitive nose, and you bark from time to time, which is really annoying."

The King of Chu's face also changed. The fourth brother called him a dog, "Ha, you don't distinguish between the old and the young. The fourth brother is so capable that he doesn't even want to call me the third brother. That's right, I, the third brother, am not worthy of being called the King of Liang. Everyone knows that the King of Liang is powerful. I am not worthy of being in his eyes."

The King of Qi watched with a smile as the third and fourth brothers fought with real swords and guns. It was a really interesting scene to see them fighting each other.

The prince fiddled with the bracelet in his hand. The quarrel was a little off-center. He looked at Zhang Yang who was still pretending on the bed. "I don't know when Lao Wu will wake up. If Lao Wu doesn't wake up, I think it's better to call the imperial physician to take a look."

Zhang Yang heard the threat and slowly opened his eyes, "Brother Crown Prince, you are here to see your brother."

Prince Qi sneered, "In Lao Wu's eyes, there is only the Crown Prince, and we are just his foils?"

Zhang Yang seemed to have just noticed the King of Qi, "Second brother, I just woke up and my mind is still a little confused. I just saw you."

The person he hated the most was the King of Qi. Ever since people said that it would be difficult for him to have offspring and that he had no children, many people left him. Now, word spread that he had no offspring, and he didn't believe it without the King of Qi's doing.

And this time he traced the injury to King Qi, which was a threat to his life!

The King of Chu was disgusted by what he heard. "We all know whether this person is pretending to sleep or not. You are too fake, Old Fifth. You have to let your brother tear you down."

King Liang remained silent. He really suspected King Qi. Look at the look in his eyes just now.

Zhou Family, Zhulan inadvertently mentioned the invitation received from the Chu Palace. Qi frowned, "Princess Chu, I have met her before. Compared with the narrow-minded Princess Liang, Princess Chu is more thoughtful. You also know that the only child who survived in the Chu Palace is Princess Chu's son."

Zhulan knew that among the children in the Chu Palace, the Princess of Chu had a son, and other concubines had also given birth but none of them survived. The only ones who were alive now were born in the past two years, and they were all daughters.

It's a pity that the emperor likes the princess of the prince's family, even if she is a concubine. The concubines of other princes' families cannot get this love.

At that time, Concubine Qi also brought her granddaughter to see the emperor, who gave her a reward, and then nothing more.

It can be said that the backyard of the Prince of Chu's Mansion is controlled by the Princess of Chu.

Qi continued, "I won't receive invitations in the future, but I'll have more free time. But you're different. You should be more careful. Fortunately, the palace rarely holds banquets."

Zhulan gets a headache whenever she thinks about it.

Qi felt apologetic in her heart, because this time it was because of the Ran family that the Zhou family received the invitation.

After Zhulan heard Qi talk about the Princess of Chu and the situation in the backyard of the Prince of Chu's mansion, she posted the message hoping to get some information so that she would not be at a loss as to what to do about the Princess of Chu. She wrote down everything that was worth noting to avoid any missteps.

During lunch, Ran Zheng was stunned when he saw the table where the children were sitting. "I just realized today that your grandchildren have so many children."

Zhou Shuren, "Yes, we will have another baby next year."

Ran Zheng took a sip of wine to calm down his surprise, "I remember that your sons are all quite young, especially the fourth one."

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and said, "Yes."

Ran Zheng took another sip of wine. The child would continue to live at such a young age. He raised his glass and said, "You have worked so hard."
