Chapter 830 Hostility
Chapter 830 Hostility
After the morning court ended the next day, Lord Xiao sent someone to pass the word that Zhou Shuren's recuperation was over and he would return to the household department tomorrow.
Zhou Shuren thought to himself, Master Xiao's words must be the emperor's intention, and finally he was able to return to the household department. Although his mind was tired, he was far away from trouble.
Just returned to Beijing, many people came to visit, to Zhulan's surprise, the Yu family from the Duke's Mansion came, and she did not come by herself.
The woman next to Yu's came in and looked around, which made Zhulan very unhappy.
Because of her in-laws, and Yu's family is the granddaughter-in-law of the Duke's mansion, Zhulan endured it in her heart and greeted the two of them for tea.
Mrs. Yu looked at her sister-in-law beside her with contempt in her eyes. She hadn't made much progress in these years, and smiled on her face, "Mr. Shu, this is my natal sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhao."
Zhulan smiled faintly, "Hello."
Mrs. Zhao's eyes fell on Yang Shuren's jewelry. This gemstone is really big, "My master is also from the third rank, the minister of Guanglu Temple."
Zhulan also knew the officials in the capital, the Minister of Guanglu Temple, who was in charge of banquets and recommendations, "I heard the master said that the Minister of Guanglu Temple."
Mrs. Zhao is still very proud, her master has been the minister of Guanglu Temple for many years, "I heard Wanrao say that you are looking after your eldest granddaughter, so I came here."
Zhulan reacted for a while before realizing that Wanrao is Yu's name, "Well, I'm actually not in a hurry to show my granddaughter to her."
Mrs. Zhao, "The sooner this girl gets engaged, the better."
Zhulan didn't like Mrs. Zhao's way of acting. Talking to her, her eyes still kept looking around, and the smile on her face was a little distant, "My daughters are all treasures. This child's engagement is a lifelong event. As a grandma, you must take good care of the gates. Regardless of the large population of our Zhou family, each house is really clean, and I won’t make calculations for money. I just want to find a good family for my granddaughter.”
Yu's face flushed, there was something in Yang's words.
Zhulan saw the greed in Mrs. Zhao's eyes, and continued, regardless of the other's face, "I have a good family in my heart, a family with a good family style, a good character, and a broad-minded family."
Yu's face turned even redder, because the Yu family didn't have one that fit the bill. The Yu family's family style in the capital is really not very good, and the sister-in-law often used her relationship to offend people and take advantage of it.
Mrs. Zhao has a lot of thoughts,
It's not that she's really stupid, she understands what's in these words, the Zhou family looks down on the Yu family, it's like a stab in the heart, and the face is ugly, "It's better for this person to be a little self-aware."
Bah, they are also in-laws of Duke Ning's family. The Yu family has been in the capital for many years, and the Zhou family has just entered the capital. There is only one Mr. Zhou in charge, and the Yu family also has several officials.
Moreover, the Zhou family's second son is white, so she is generous enough to let her younger son marry him.
Zhulan was angry, and said lightly, "Some people really should be self-aware."
Yu Shi's complexion is not good anymore, she feels that Yang Shi is alluding to her, that Rong Chuan will inherit the Hou Mansion in the future, and she has nothing.
Zhulan picked up the teacup, "It's getting late, I have something to do here, please."
If it was Mrs. Du who came today, Zhulan would be more restrained, but Mrs. Yu is a junior, heh, she really won't have any scruples.
Mrs. Zhao is because of her sister, and her husband is from the third rank. She has been relying on Ningguo's mansion these years. Who doesn't give her some face? Looking at Mrs. Yang, she was angry and dark-faced, "I want to see Zhou Where can the eldest granddaughter of the family find someone else?"
Zhulan didn't even raise her eyelids, "It's just a matter of good character, don't worry."
Zhao's eyes widened. Does this mean that her character is not good?
Yu's face changed again and again, and she pulled her sister-in-law, "Let's go."
She did hide bad thoughts, because of Rong Chuan's relationship, she had a bad impression of the Zhou family, and even thought more than once that it was because of the Zhou family that Rong Chuan was able to get it back, and it happened that her sister-in-law showed her son, so she was moved .
My sister-in-law is not easy to get along with, she is calculating everywhere, and she is not tolerant. She thinks that a girl from the Zhou family will have a wonderful life marrying into Yu's house.
But now it seems that Yang's blunt reply has seen through her mind, and she doesn't want to stay any longer.
Zhulan waited for the two to leave, and said to the girl, "Put this tea set away."
If it wasn't for worrying about Duke Ning's mansion, she really wanted to drop the tea set.
The girl quickly went out with the tea set, and Zhou Shuren came in, "Are you angry?"
Zhulan signaled all the girls in the room to go out, "I was really angry, but fortunately you gave me the confidence, and I didn't hesitate to go back."
Zhou Shuren looked at the lady holding his waist, "Tell me about it."
Zhulan recounted the conversation just now, and finally said: "The Yu family is very hostile to our family. My sister-in-law must know the most about it, and even brought the Zhou family to see Yushuang."
Zhou Shuren narrowed his eyes, "She thought that Rong Chuan was in the way, and we were the ones who saved Rong Chuan, so we were also hated."
Zhulan curled her lips, "I don't have much ability, but I have a lot of thoughts. I didn't like Yu Shi when I first saw her. She even relied on the Duke's mansion to snatch the fabric that my daughter likes."
Zhou Shuren lowered his head and said in a low voice: "There are people in the palace everywhere in our house. Today's conversation will definitely be passed on. It is related to the Duke's mansion. The empress will take action."
Zhulan smiled, the past few years are the most critical time for the prince, and Rong Chuan is the fifth prince, Yu's mind thinks that it is well hidden, it is really unwise, hostile to the Zhou family, the empress will protect some for Rong Chuan , not to mention being hostile to Rong Chuan.
In the palace, the empress did hear the news, just as Zhulan thought, the empress saw through Yu's mind, and Yu's anger at the Zhou family, why didn't she think that Rong Chuan should not come back.
The more the queen thought about it, the more angry she became. Her son, whom she had finally found, called the female officer beside her, "You go to Ningguo's mansion and say that I will let Mrs. Yu copy the scriptures a hundred times."
The female officer said: "Yes."
The female officer didn't ask what scriptures were copied, but the empress said the scriptures, that is, copied all the scriptures a hundred times, and the empress was really angry.
In Ningguo Duke's Mansion, Mrs. Yu has just returned to the mansion not long ago, and just told Mr. Zhou that Zhou's mansion did not take their second wife seriously because of their kindness, and exaggerated Yang's words with embellishments.
Ning Hui didn't like it in his heart, and he knew rationally that Yu's words could only be trusted halfway, but he was also a human being, so he still didn't like it in his heart.
It's just that before Mrs. Yu could continue to speak, the female officials in the palace arrived and brought the queen's order.
There is still something that Ning Hui doesn't understand. My aunt can see clearly what Yu's thinking, and her face flushes, saying that Yu's not saying that he is a husband and wife. My aunt punished Yu. Although she didn't point at him, she didn't teach A good wife has great responsibilities.
When the female officer left, Yu Shi was dumbfounded, she didn't understand the affairs of Zhou Mansion, how could the palace know.
Mrs. Ning Guogong came over after hearing the news, looked at Mrs. Yu, and snorted, "Short-sighted, Mr. Zhou is a courtier who is valued by the emperor. In the early years, Mr. Zhou had people from the emperor by his side. Once you leave, you If so, pass it into the palace."
There are two more chapters, it will be very late, and I will add another chapter today, everyone can read it tomorrow morning.
