Chapter 1564 Doubt
Back in the main courtyard, Zhulan changed into her regular clothes and drank tea while saying: "You lied to Minghui just now, after such a long time, the Wen family will only stare at Zhou's mansion, but this Sixth Master Wen is quite interesting, he Staring at Minghui all the time, this thought is deep enough."
Zhou Shuren took the teacup handed over by his wife, "Scared Minghui."
After a pause, he said: "It's hard for a commoner to get ahead, Ming Hui and Ming Rui are his chances to get ahead, he really can bear his temper, this time Wen Liu will get the chance he wants."
Zhulan, "By using Minghui's beating, the little ones in the family have a long memory."
Zhou Shuren said quietly: "Mingrui didn't take good care of his younger brother, and the younger ones gave Minghui a big cover, they should be punished."
"Then I'll ask the kitchen to make more delicious food today."
Zhou Shuren was happy, "Okay, make more, let them have a good meal first."
After several Mingrui came back from school and found out what had happened, Mingrui brought his younger brothers to ask for punishment. Mingrui admitted his mistake, "It's all my grandson's fault that my grandson didn't take good care of my younger brother."
Zhou Shuren knew that Mingrui was busy, he couldn't miss his schoolwork, and he had to worry about the orphanage, but if he made a mistake, he was wrong, "You did make a mistake."
These days, Mingrui neglected his younger brothers, so that Minghui had the opportunity to skip school. Minghui must have tried several times by pretending to be sick this time.
Ming Jia and the others said, "The grandson is also at fault."
Zhou Shuren snorted, Ming Jia and the others shrank their necks, they, they were covering.
Zhou Shuren's expression was stern, "You kindly gave Minghui a big cover, but did you think that if Minghui had an accident outside, you would be accomplices, and you might feel at ease for the rest of your life?"
Ming Jia and the others lowered their heads, and they were afraid after thinking about it.
Zhulan came in, looked at the quails with their necks curled up, and smiled, "Grandma let the kitchen cook your favorite dishes today, so you're not frugal today, are you happy?"
Mingrui and the others, "..."
No, they are not happy.
Changyi went down to the yamen a few times. After hearing this, Changyi felt embarrassed, went to see Minghui, and apologized to his eldest brother, "It's all my brother's fault. If my brother didn't take Minghui to the theater, Minghui wouldn't be able to bear it." It’s all my brother’s fault that I played truant from school.”
Mr. Zhou got angry, and his heart aches. Because Minghui looks like a mother, he really loves his son.
Somewhat tiredly said: "Second brother, I know that Minghui saved Mingrui, so you treat Minghui like your own son. Minghui asks for silver for silver, and brings gifts to Minghui every now and then. I know this child is not interested in official career. In fact, I also want him to live freely, anyway, he is supported by his brother, but he is still young."
Changyi was busy accompanying him, "Yes, it's all my brother's fault. My brother got used to it, and I will definitely not do it in the future. Big brother, if you want to get angry, you can get angry at me. I'm used to it."
As the eldest brother said, it is precisely because he knows Minghui's thoughts and his father did not strictly demand Minghui that he dares to be used to it, otherwise he will dare to give him eight guts!
Chang Zhi answered, "I'll teach Ming Jia a lesson later, these children are smart, I don't believe they don't know."
Changyi, "Yes, and Mingrui, why are you an older brother?"
Minghui, "..."
This time none of their brothers could escape.
In the end, except for Ming Yun and Ming Teng, the grandchildren were all punished, and they will suffer until the end of the year.
In the early morning of the next day, Mrs. Wen looked around, but he didn't see Zhou Shuren. He held his breath in his heart, and his face turned black like a pot with a black bottom.
Elder Wen stopped Qiu Yan, "Why didn't your Lord Shangshu go to court?"
Qiu Yan was nervous. He didn't know where Shang Shu had offended Mr. Wen, so he replied carefully, "Recently, the household department is not busy. Yesterday, Mr. Shang Shu asked for leave, so he won't have to go to court for the next few days."
Elder Wen, "!!"
Zhou Shuren must have done it on purpose!
Zhou Shuren was a little wronged, he really didn't mean it, yesterday he mentioned to the Supreme Emperor that he slid on the snowy road and almost fell off, and then the Supreme Emperor said that it was nothing important to ask for leave and couldn't go to the morning court. Zhou Shuren was sorry for not climbing the ladder when he saw it. Who wants to get up early in winter, he quickly asked for leave.
It's really not to hide from Mr. Wen, he has never lost before, anyway, he was not the one who held his breath in the end.
The days are passing quickly. This year is a cold winter. The temperature in the winter has dropped sharply, creating the lowest temperature in ancient times. The only thing that is thankful is that there is no heavy snowfall in the whole country.
As the days passed, the taste of the new year became more and more full. Mrs. Li was very busy, busy shopping for the new year.
Mrs. Zhao and the others are also busy, they have accumulated a lot of family property, and they have to prepare New Year gifts for their servants during the New Year.
The busiest one is Su Xuan. Su Xuan will go on a tour at the end of the year, and every time she goes out, she will bring back a lot of books.
Instead, Zhulan is at leisure, reading books and doing handicrafts every day, living a very comfortable life.
Su Xuan came in with air-conditioning, "Mother."
Zhulan, "I came back early today, have you finished your inspection?"
Su Xuan stood by the charcoal basin to warm up for a while, and then sat next to her mother-in-law, "It's basically over, I'm exhausted these days."
Zhulan, "You also said that you broke up with Yuwen, look, you are not willing."
Su Xuan gave a dry laugh. She said it hard, and when she really wanted to train her daughter, her heart softened. Whoever makes children too few is her treasure, "Mother, who are you that I saw today?"
Zhulan couldn't figure it out, "Just tell me."
Su Xuan, "Shen Yile, County Lord Shen."
"Isn't she rarely going out?"
Ever since Yao Zheyu believed in Buddhism, and it is said that County Lord Shen also believed in it, the couple seldom went out except to pay respects to Buddha, which made people think that Yao Zheyu was going to become a monk!
Su Xuan sighed very much, "I was shocked when I saw her today. I seem to be a junior with her. She is dressed in dull clothes and has no bright jewelry on her head. She is lifeless."
Zhulan also sighed, "Men are afraid of entering the wrong profession, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man."
In ancient times, husband and wife were one body. Although they could reconcile, there were a few who really reconciled. Yao Zheyu and Shen Xianzhu were even more unlikely to reconcile. They were given marriages.
Su Xuan hesitated while holding the fruit, "I saw Shen Yile looking haggard today, and I don't know what happened."
Zhulan no longer paid attention to Yao Zheyu, and she was not curious after hearing it.
However, when Zhou Shuren came back from the Yamen, he still said it, Zhou Shuren said: "I really know."
"What is it?"
Zhou Shuren changed his clothes slowly, "Yao Zheyu is sick, and he has been sick since winter, and the illness has not recovered, intermittently."
Zhulan, "...How do you know so clearly?"
Zhou Shuren blinked, "Zhang Jinghong said it, and the fourth uncle also said it."
Bamboo Orchid, "!!"
Forget, Yao Zheyu is alive, and the fourth uncle has always had a knot in his heart. The fourth uncle should also be afraid of Yao Zheyu's restlessness, so he has been staring at him with anxiety.
Zhulan lowered her voice again, "Isn't it poisoning?"
She had reason to suspect that fourth uncle felt that he was getting old and wanted to take Yao Zheyu with him. The more she thought about it, the more likely it was!
Zhou Shuren really didn't think about poisoning, raised his brows, "It shouldn't be poisoning."
Zhulan told her guess, "The pimple in my uncle's heart can't be smoothed out, Yao Zhe is still alive, I don't think my uncle will be reconciled."
Zhou Shuren, "...you are right."
Zhulan's eyes widened, "So you're really poisoned?"
