Transmigration: The Evil Mother-In-Law Is Actually Innocent!

Chapter 1160: Chapter 1160: Became a Sphere

Zhou Elder saw his wife’s silly smile and knew she hadn’t understood, whispering, ”I am the eldest son, the eldest son, and my title can be inherited.”

Lady Li suddenly paused, then stood up again, this time bumping into something even more painfully, exerting too much force, and somewhat dizzy, she leaned on the head of the household.

Hearing the noise, Zhou Elder was terrified, seeing his wife had fainted, he exclaimed, ”Quick, quick, let’s hurry on our way to find a doctor.”

Zhou Elder was afraid his wife might have seriously hurt herself and couldn’t help but laugh angrily, really, the sound just now, it hurt just to hear it, he had completely forgotten, he had once done the same thing himself, both of this couple were equally matched.

The next day they reached the Zhou family’s banquet, where the arriving guests all brought gifts, the presents filling up a room. Steward Ding came to the backyard and whispered into Granny Song’s ear the gift that the Duke Residence had sent.

Granny Song noted it down, walked over to the mistress, and whispered, ”The Duke Residence has sent a generous gift.”

Zhulan knew it must be a particularly substantial gift, otherwise Steward Ding wouldn’t have been scared to come to the backyard. Zhulan signaled Su Xuan to entertain the ladies, followed Granny Song out, and Steward Ding hurriedly handed the list of gifts to the mistress, his hands all sweaty, it was just too substantial.

Zhulan looked through the list of gifts one by one, signaling Steward Ding to go to the front yard, then wrote a piece of paper and signaled the young servant to go to the front yard and give it to the master.

Zhou Shuren was talking with someone when he saw the note, he looked deeply at Ning Xu, then said to the young servant, ”It’s all right.”

The young servant, having received his orders, quickly returned to the backyard. Hearing that everything was fine, Zhulan also felt relieved and continued to entertain the ladies.

Today, the Zhou residence was hosting guests, and all the boys of the family were in the mansion, the grandsons lined up conspicuously, all direct descendants. This time, Ming Teng and Ming Hui from the eldest branch received even more attention.

The eldest branch would have a title now. Ning Xu’s gaze also fell on the Zhou family’s grandsons, as at the Duke Residence, there was still a young lady unspoken for!

Today, there were quite a few with this intention, and Li Zhao was regretful; he was destined not to be able to form a marriage alliance with Zhou Shuren.

Rong Yihuai also arrived with his son. Although he was Mr. Zhou’s cousin, he really dared not assume this role of ’cousin,’ aside from ancestral rituals, he had never dared to get close.

Now looking at the people his cousin was chatting with, he said to his Uncle Si, ”My cousin is truly impressive.”

Yu Dang also felt proud, his own branch of the family, turned to Rong Yihuai and said, ”En Qing is also not bad, the Emperor highly values him.”

Rong Yihuai smiled, knowing that this favor was not the same as Zhou Shuren’s, his daughter-in-law Jingxian had come back from the palace, mentioning how close the Empress was to the Yang family.

Gradually, all the guests arrived, and the main event began. Prince Qi and several other princes arrived, and even the Crown Prince was there.

Rongchuan frowned, turning his head to look at his father with an ’I knew it’ expression, suppressing his doubts.

Old Master Wang also arrived today, gripping his beard so hard that he pulled out his own beard, and everyone paid their respects to the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince laughed heartily, clearly in a very good mood, ”Today, there is no Crown Prince, I am here to join my cousin’s celebration, everyone please, take your seats.”

These words, had they not been spoken, would not have startled so many.

Old Master Wang pulled out another beard, so his conjecture was right, he felt betting on Zhou Shuren might be his most profitable move this lifetime.

Ever since his wife told him that the Empress called her ’sister-in-law,’ Zhou Shuren had anticipated such a moment, never imagining, however, that it would be waiting for him at the banquet!

Zhou Shuren dared not respond, ”Your humble servant is terrified. Please, Crown Prince, do not frighten your servant.”

Crown Prince walked over and personally helped Zhou Shuren up. ”What I said was true. Just a few days ago, mother also called for my aunt and cousin, so what is wrong if I follow her?”

Zhou Shuren thought to himself, the Crown Prince’s strength was truly formidable. His grip on Zhou’s arm was so firm that he couldn’t even move. Ever since his wife had left the palace, he had understood where the Emperor was plotting against him. Before, he hadn’t understood because he was too involved, but after realizing it, he felt like vomiting blood.

Zhou Shuren raised his head to meet the smiling eyes of the Crown Prince. It wasn’t easy being an elder. He had only thought about retiring when the time came, yet the Emperor wanted to shackle him firmly, ”Yes, what the Crown Prince says is right.”

So, can you release your servant now?

The Crown Prince let go, thinking to himself that Zhou Shuren was really thin. Privately, the Emperor often worried about Zhou Shuren’s lifespan, even specially asking the Imperial Physician. Thinking of what the Imperial Physician had said, the Crown Prince smiled; Zhou Shuren loved taking care of his health, cherishing his life.

The Crown Princess Consort was also here, having gone to the women’s quarters. Regardless of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess Consort saying they were the juniors, their status was still that of royalty, so they had to be handled with great care.

The Crown Princess Consort was also very affectionate. Xue Han was sitting next to her. The Crown Princess Consort said, ”Today I am also a junior. Don’t all look at me, say whatever you want to say. I didn’t bring my ears today.”

Even I had said it out loud, really bringing the attitude of a junior lower.

Zhulan thought to herself, you say you didn’t bring your ears, but then no one dares to chat.

Today, Princess Qi and others hadn’t come. Who would have thought the Crown Princess Consort would come together?

Prince Qi, holding a wine glass, thought of his grandfather’s words. He felt his grandfather was right; the Rong family had really been schemed against thoroughly by the Emperor. Zhou Shuren was pitiable, the more he understood, the more he wanted to live out his later years in peace.

Prince Chu sipped his wine. The Emperor truly gave all his effort for the Crown Prince. He sneered, glancing at the busy Fourth Brother. The Fourth Brother was also miserable. The Crown Prince was a petty man, slowly taking his ’interest’ now. All the dirty and grueling tasks were left to the Fourth Brother.

Prince Chu stealthily glanced at the Crown Prince and, seeing that the Crown Prince had noticed him, quickly averted his gaze. He was afraid of this older brother, afraid because he had torn apart their past relations, yet some were left. As a result, the Crown Prince had sent him a letter, he thought he had concealed everything well, but it was all clearly written.

Prince Liang had a stern face, drinking by himself. The Crown Prince holding power, his sense of helplessness... he mocked, using his power to influence, his impeachment papers, and then Liang drank another glass of wine.

The Crown Prince was about to speak when someone else arrived, Zhang Yang arrived, and the little ambiance that had just begun was lost.

Zhang Yang was watched by everyone. He came uninvited, not initially wanting to come but deciding impulsively to see who all were present. The Crown Prince and others were here, but the gazes of the people made him feel uncomfortable, and he frowned.

Zhou Shuren couldn’t remember how long it had been since he had seen Zhang Yang. He widened his eyes. Was this fat man in front of him Zhang Yang? Had he gained too much weight? What did the Zhang Yang he remembered look like? Oh, he used to be good-looking with a slender body, but now, a ball?

Prince Chu was drinking when he choked, ”The Fifth one?”

Prince Qi also felt a bit dumbfounded. He knew Zhang Yang had gained quite a weight, but in such a short time, he had gained too much. His appearance was somewhat harsh to the eyes.

As the few princes began talking, the quiet courtyard became lively. Because of Zhang Yang’s irresponsibility, always causing trouble, even with the presence of the Crown Prince, people quietly started to whisper, ”Is this the Fifth Prince?”

”Must be. Didn’t you hear Prince Qi call out?”

”Prince Qi’s tone was questioning. Even his own brother can’t recognize him now. Really, really...”

The really dragged on without concluding anything!
