It was not until late in the evening that Sheng Hong returned to Sheng Mansion in despair and with a tired face.
The Sheng Mansion also sent people to the Hou Mansion to deliver the news, and also told Zhou Chen and the others not to go there late at night and to go to the Sheng Mansion tomorrow.
After Hualan learned the news, she finally let go of her worries.
"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."
Zhou Chen had known this result for a long time, so he was not worried.
"Since my father-in-law has come back and asked us not to go there at night, then we will listen to him. I believe he already knows why this disaster happened."
"Okay, officer, let's go back tomorrow."
"Well, let's put the children to sleep first, and then we'll go to sleep."
The next day, Zhou Chen, together with Sister Fu who came to play, sent the three children to their mother's courtyard, and then went to Sheng Mansion with Hua Lan.
Seeing Sheng Hong again was obviously different from the past. Although a night had passed, he had obviously not recovered from the panic state of the previous two days.
"Shu Yuan, I really caused trouble for you this time. That traitor made a mistake while drunk and angered His Majesty. It only hurt me. He almost hurt you. I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed."
Zhou Chen consoled him: "What are you talking about, father-in-law? Although we have two surnames, we are actually one family. If one family does not speak the same language, one will be prosperous and one will suffer. I still understand the principle."
.”
This is true. If Sheng Hong really offends the official family and commits a serious crime, based on the marriage relationship between the two families, even if the Zhongjing Hou Mansion becomes more powerful, it will definitely be affected.
When Sheng Hong heard Zhou Chen's words, he was immediately moved, but also felt even more ashamed.
"Shu Yuan said it well, it's such a simple truth that everyone will be prosperous and suffer losses, but my traitor doesn't understand. Yesterday, I beat him severely to teach him a lesson."
Zhou Chen whispered: "My father-in-law, you have to be careful. My father-in-law also knows that your majesty has tested and warned me. Don't let Chang Feng get into such trouble again in the future. The official family can get around it once, but it will never happen."
The second time, the current fight between King Yong and King Yan is too fierce, and you cannot participate in it no matter what, otherwise you will end up confiscating your family and exterminating your clan."
Sheng Hong trembled suddenly and shuddered. He was really frightened by Zhou Chen's words.
He had also thought about this possibility in the inner palace of the palace two days ago. If his mental quality had not been good enough, he might have been frightened to pieces by that situation and scene.
After I came back yesterday, I beat Sheng Changfeng severely and vented my anger. Then I heard the mysterious operations of my wife and concubines. They were all doing little tricks behind his back as the head of the family. I was really angry.
Half dead.
Today he wanted to thank Zhou Chen properly, but he didn't expect Zhou Chen to hit him in the head again, which made him tremble with fear.
Although the Song Dynasty did not kill scholar-bureaucrats, if he, the head of the family, was sent to confiscate the family, the family would really be over, which would be the same as confiscating the family and exterminating the family. How could he not be afraid?
"You're right, you're right. This treacherous son should be properly disciplined and disciplined. He has caused such a big trouble this time. If it happens again, the whole family will be in trouble."
Zhou Chen pointed out that he said this on purpose. Sheng Changfeng at this stage is indeed a dandy, and to be honest, all of this was taught wrongly by Lin Sushuang. If he does not correct it in time, he may make mistakes in the future.
I don’t want to get in trouble because of Sheng Changfeng.
At noon, Zhou Chen had a drink with Sheng Hong. Sheng Hong was obviously frightened in the previous two days and drank a lot of wine, and eventually he passed out drunk.
I returned to the mansion in the afternoon. I had just played with my two sons and Sister Fu for a while when I heard a servant coming to report that Gu Tingye had met.
"Zhong Huai, you've been quiet a lot these days. Why, is it because you failed the test and lost your energy? You didn't even go to Goulan House?"
"Brother, don't laugh at me. I'm really sad that I didn't pass the exam, but it won't make me lose heart. What's even more sad for me is that my relatives stabbed me in the back."
Gu Tingye's face turned ugly. He already knew the reason why he didn't win. He was originally ranked among the top three, but his eldest brother reported what happened when he was a child. This angered the officials and crossed out his name.
Zhou Chen chuckled and said: "You are still too naive and can't control yourself. I heard that you were punished by Gu Hou again because you were kept in the outer room in Tianshui Lane?"
Gu Tingye's face showed Hao Ran: "Brother also knows, did Zecheng tell brother?"
"Do you think Zicheng's character would tell me this? Don't forget what I do. If I want to know something in the inner city, it's relatively easy."
Gu Tingye also realized that Zhou Chen, as Ma Shuai, was in charge of the inner city forbidden army. If he wanted to investigate something, as long as it was not too secretive, it would be easier to find out.
"Zecheng, although you and I don't have much contact, I quite appreciate you and treat you like a younger brother. You are very smart and capable. I have always felt that you will be very promising in the future, but I just lacked opportunities.
"
"Back when you went to Bailudong Academy to study, I told you that you should study hard and stop messing around. It would be better for you to forget what I said and find an outside room.
You have also raised two children, but you are really obsessed and don't think about your own future at all."
Zhou Chen knew very well what Zhu Manniang was doing. Gu Tingye was actually very smart. It was really confusing for him that a woman of Zhu Manniang's level could play with him.
At this stage, Gu Tingye is really a lover, and he is not much different from Qi Heng.
No matter how smart and weak Qi Heng is in love, he still has a discerning eye and is interested in Sheng Minglan, a reserved and intelligent woman.
But Gu Tingye was lucky. What kind of thing was Zhu Manniang? She was not even ranked among the prostitutes, but she was able to confuse Gu Tingye. She was so stupid that she only thought about Zhu Manniang.
To be honest, do you know that in the plot, if Gu Tingye didn't have the nanny Chang who wholeheartedly cares for him, he would have been betrayed by Zhu Manniang without even knowing it.
All in all, the current Gu Tingye is a love brain who is very lacking in love. He is very smart, but he has lacked love since he was a child, so he desperately wants to have his own family. In addition, Zhu Manniang can really pretend to be shameless and satisfy Gu Tingye's needs, so
Only Gu Tingye was deceived so miserably.
Gu Tingye was scolded by Zhou Chen in front of him. He was not angry at all, but looked guilty and embarrassed.
"Brother is doing it for my own good. It's because I failed to live up to my expectations and didn't listen to my brother's teachings. However, Mannia is really good. Although her background is not good, brother, don't you think that your background is not the most important thing? The most important thing is that you can't
Are you willing to let yourself down?"
"That's how Mannia is. Although she is from a low background, she is kind-hearted. Not to mention that she also gave birth to two children for me. That's why I brought her to Tokyo and stayed with her and her two children. I really
It feels like home.”
