In the evening, Zhou Xiang's team of seven returned to the Zhou Mansion with neat steps!

As soon as I entered the gate, I saw that something was wrong. All the servants and maids of the Zhou family stood in two rows in front of the large iron gate of the inner courtyard. The women in front and the men in the back all looked nervous, with their heads lowered to their chests!

As for Xiao Wan'er, she was standing at the front with an aggrieved look on her face. The butler Zhou Shiquan was lecturing her. Behind the butler were Zhou Chengshan and his wife.

When Zhou Xiang saw this formation, he yelled, something must have happened!

He turned his head hurriedly and was about to run away, but he was exposed by a sigh of relief!

"Brother, you are finally back!"

When Zhou Xiang heard the sound, he quietly turned around to face the door and accelerated violently, but still couldn't escape. Two shouts sounded at the same time!

"Nizi, come back here!" It was Zhou Chengshan's voice.

"Xiang'er, come back for dinner!" It was Huang Yulian's voice.

A man and a woman, one soft and one hard, Zhou Xiang was calmed down, helplessly turned around, and walked over with a smile.

But he consciously stood beside Zhou Waner!

Zhou Chengshan stepped forward quickly and pulled out the fan behind Zhou Xiang.

He then asked angrily: "Where is the teapot! Where is the teapot from Dasheng Guan Kiln?"

Zhou Xiang pursed his lips towards Wednesday and others who were not at a loss.

Zhou Chengshan also looked at the group of six. Wednesday had already walked up to him and carefully handed the teapot to Zhou Chengshan.

Zhou Chengshan felt as if he had found a treasure. Seeing that the teapot was intact, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he looked at the stains on it and frowned.

He grabbed the silk scarf from Wednesday's other hand and wiped the teapot!

Seeing this scene, Zhou Xiang put his hands on his forehead and felt happy, Dad, you asked for this.

Little Wan'er next to him also followed Zhou Xiang's example, putting her hands on her forehead and muttering, "Dad, you are so kind!"

A lion's roar sounded: "Zhou Chengshan, you old thing, my Xuanwu Color Spider's silk scarf!"

Only then did Zhou Chengshan realize how the rag felt so good. When he lowered his head and looked at it, he broke into a cold sweat. This turned out to be Madam's most precious silk scarf?

Looking at Huang Yulian again, she had a stick somewhere and was rushing towards him!

Zhou Chengshan showed the speed of the fourth level of the Soul Master (it is still so slow for those who practice brain training), and shouted "Madam, please listen to my explanation!"

Zhou Xiang saw the rich charm in Zhou Chengshan's mouth and the sound of his voice, and knew that this was even the businessman's "precision skills" being used.

Looking at Huang Yulian again, after hearing Zhou Chengshan's spell, she stood blankly, but she reacted instantly, took out a charm from her arms, crushed it, and continued to chase Zhou Chengshan!

Zhou Xiang has good eyesight and saw the words on the talisman. What he saw turned out to be the scholar's prophecy, "One anger can open up hundreds of ways."

Hearing Zhou Chengshan's pig-killing screams from the inner courtyard, Zhou Xiang said to the servants: "Let's all disperse. Don't go to the inner courtyard yet!"

In the evening, in the main room of the inner courtyard, Zhou Chengshan, Zhou Xiang, and Zhou Waner stood in front of Huang Yulian, all with mournful faces.

Zhou Chengshan was the worst, with a black face and grinning from time to time. It looked like his injuries were more serious!

Huang Yulian said: "Tell me what's going on!"

"Mom, I was deceived by my elder brother. He gave me a chicken drumstick and asked me to find the most expensive cloth, so I found your silk scarf!"

This is Zhou Waner's milky cry. She looks so pitiful, but her chubby festive face has some influence!

"Mom, dad asked me to pretend to be a dandy. Why does this dandy need some props? It can't be too shabby. Wouldn't that disgrace the Zhou family? So I..."

This was Zhou Xiang's defense, he looked like he was arguing with reason, and he secretly used the soul master's "guidance technique"!

"It's your turn, let's talk!" Huang Yulian stared at Zhou Chengshan said fiercely!

Zhou Chengshan opened his mouth wide and looked at the group of children and his wife.

He is incapable of explaining anything and cannot express his sufferings. Unfortunately, he is the biggest victim. His favorite teapot from Dasheng Guan Kiln was beaten during the beating.

Broken.......

"Old man, go sleep at the iron gate today!"

Seeing Zhou Chengshan pack up and leave, and Huang Yulian's face looking much better, Zhou Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, but Xiao Wan'er next to him was gunning for it!

"Mom, I'm hungry. Let's eat. I want to eat meat!"

"I just know how to eat. I'm so busy today. There's no dinner left. Just be hungry!"

Xiao Wan'er pursed her lips, tears welling up in her eyes. Zhou Xiang quietly handed over a piece of dried meat!

Seeing Huang Yulian's cloudy and gloomy face, Zhou Xiang hurriedly used the diversion method.

"Mom, where is the little girl I sent back today!"

"Oh, that poor beggar? He's in the maid's yard. He has no father and no mother. He's so pitiful. He's handsome, but a little thin!"

"Mom, I think Wan'er is so young that if she hangs around with that old fox like dad all day long, she will become a human spirit. In addition to servants and maids, we don't even have a playmate in our house. How about..."

"Well, you are right, then I will accept him as my daughter! That girl is quite sensible. I gave her a wash and some food. She insists on working for the family..."

"Then let's call him Zhou Xiaopan. He fits perfectly with Zhou Xiaowan!" Zhou Xiang started the naming method!

Huang Yulian burst out laughing: "Okay, let's call her Zhou Xiaopan. Your naming skills have completely inherited your father's inheritance. When I named you, she insisted on calling her Zhou Xiang. I beat her up.

I was half dead before I changed it to this "xiang"..."

Zhou Xiang broke out in a cold sweat. It’s better for me to be my mother. My cheap dad is really unreliable!

Seeing that Zhou Xiang and his sister were about to leave the house, Huang Yulian took out a large mat and handed it to Zhou Xiang.

"Your father's waist is not good, please send him over to give him some support."

Zhou Xiang gave Xiao Wan'er a drumstick from a dancing chicken, handed her over to the maid, and then went to see Zhou Xiaopan.

The little girl was not sleeping peacefully. She was holding on to the quilt with her little hands and her brows were furrowed. She was indeed cute, but her skin was dark and her cheekbones were high. She was too thin!

Zhou Xiang came to the big iron gate of the inner courtyard, picked up the sighing Zhou Chengshan, and dragged him to his bedroom in the courtyard!

With a few pieces of dried meat and a jar of jade delicacy, the two of them started talking for a long time!

"Dad, does it still hurt from the beating?"

"It hurts, that stinky bitch, she kills you every time!"

"So you always go to brothels?"

Zhou Xiang knew that this old man was a frequent visitor to the brothel. Even if Huang Yulian beat him to a pulp every time, he would always go and have a good time if he got the chance.

"You brat, what nonsense are you talking about!" He sighed.

"Your mother has always been worried about you. She has a hot temper, but she has been holding it in for the past two years and doesn't care about me much."

"You are back, but this great sadness and joy makes her feel uneasy. It just so happens that she has vented her feelings this time, and she will be fine in the future..."

Zhou Xiang looked at Zhou Chengshan who was lying on his bed and snoring loudly. He drank too much and he also needed to vent!

After Zhou Xiang returned home, he indulged himself for two days and got to know Qingzhou and the Zhou family.

Now he can practice with peace of mind. Still in high spirits, he began to meditate with his eyes closed. He was about to reach the fifth level of Soul Master!

...........

It's night in the imperial palace of Yonghua Palace in the commercial capital of Datong Empire.

Queen Xuanyi was contemplating with her eyes closed, and her delicate eyebrows were twitching slightly, showing her inner unrest.

A palace maid hurried in and knelt down to report!

"Empress, there is news from the prince!"

The queen raised her eyes slightly, looked at her most trusted maid, and asked, "Has the prince's injury improved?"

The maid said a little nonchalantly: "It's better, but there is still important news!"

The queen frowned and said, "Say!"

"Following the last message from Zhou Xiang, another message came from Wuhai City. That Zhou Xiang went out this morning. His clothes were more exaggerated and dandy, but his actions were completely different. He actually spread money everywhere and punished bullies!"

"But the most

Then he seemed to remember something, pretended to be fierce, and threatened to send a beggar girl to be a slave! In the end, the girl was seen entering the Zhou Mansion, but she did not come out!"

"Huh? So, what Zhou Xiang said in the eunuch's letter is the same? Are they both false?"

"My dear, the man shot dead by the army is said to be a master of disguise. It seems that Zhou Xiang must be a fake!"

"You talk too much! Did you say that to the military?" Queen Xuanyi asked sternly.

When the maid heard this, she immediately fell to the ground and slapped herself in the face with both hands, not even daring to snort!

Suddenly there was only the sound of slaps in the hall. After more than ten slaps, the queen spoke!

"Okay, there will be a next time, you know..."

When the maid stood up, she said coldly: "Zaijia Tongxin Palace, I want to see the emperor!"

The maid took the order and left.

In the Tongxin Hall, Emperor Dazheng was looking at the topographic map of Qingzhou in a daze. Since he succeeded Datong and changed the name of the country to Dazheng, he has been bent on carrying forward the foundation of his ancestors' business and founding the country.
