Transmigration: The Evil Mother-In-Law Is Actually Innocent! Chapter 1146 - 1146 1146 Making a Fuss to Pass the Days

1146: Chapter 1146: Making a Fuss to Pass the Days 1146: Chapter 1146: Making a Fuss to Pass the Days The eunuch held the imperial decree in his hand and spoke, “You will understand once you listen to the order, Sir.”

After Zhou Shuren listened, he understood, the Emperor wanted to elevate the Duke Ning Residence, Ning Zhiqi was moving from a nominal post to the Ministry of Revenue’s Ministry of Comrce.

Once the Ministry of Comrce separates next year, its official positions will beco clearer.

Although it seed at first like a demotion, he would actually be promoted after next year; familiarizing with it now is better than being lost next year.

The eunuch continued, “The Crown Prince sent a ssage to you, Sir, hoping you could guide Mr.

Ning more frequently.”

Zhou Shuren understood, “I am clear.”

After the eunuch left, Zhou Shuren said to Ning Zhiqi, “Don’t be nervous, soone will take you to get acquainted with the Ministry of Revenue first, and then the Ministry of Comrce.”

Ning Zhiqi was truly nervous.

Not having outstanding talents, he thought he would always stay in a nominal position, but he didn’t mind as he still had his title.

Suddenly being pushed forward, he felt both excited and apprehensive, “Thank you, Sir.”

Zhou Shuren watched Ning Zhiqi, thinking how hard Ning Xu had worked to train him.

Ning Zhiqi was much like his own eldest son, but due to different status, was held in much higher regard than Chang Li.

Zhou Shuren called soone over, and after Ning Zhiqi left, Zhou Shuren shook his head.

Having walked out the door and relaxed, Ning Zhiqi thought of Zhou Shuren, the father of his cousin, and the instructions from the Crown Prince to heed Shuren; plus, his grandfather and uncle always regarded Zhou Shuren highly.

He felt as nervous as he had as a child in front of his teacher just now.

But he wasn’t nervous anymore.

He had ti to observe the Ministry of Revenue, with its many officials and busy work.

Furrowing his brows but then relaxing, with his uncle’s training over many years, he still had so confidence.

A few days later in Zhou Family Village, they already knew about the golden list.

The one delivering the good news to Zhou Family Village spoke of ancestors’ blessings.

Heaven knows, Shuren’s branch moved their ancestral graves, and he was afraid that the feng shui would be broken, fearing that Shuren’s branch would no longer be lucky.

But now they could rest assured, another second-place scholar had erged.

It was a pity it wasn’t the Top scorer, but with a foundation of being second in the provincial exams, and with Zhou Shuren’s own progression from second-place scholar, in the old Clan Leader’s heart, second-place scholar was actually better than Top scorer.

The old Clan Leader was truly happy, and there was another who had obtained the degree, a great joy for the clan.

As for Ming Qing not passing, the Clan Leader did not care; there would be another chance in the future.

But amidst the great happiness, the old Clan Leader did not wake up that night and had passed away.

When Zhulan received the urgent letter a few days later, she was left with a mixed feeling.

Having just t him, another person was gone.

For the old Clan Leader who served the family, she held respect.

Zhulan instructed the steward to ensure the household observed vegetarianism for the next few days.

Zhou Shuren only found out when he returned ho that evening and was silent for half an hour, “He has no regrets now.”

Zhulan, “Yes, no regrets now.”

That evening, for the first ti in a long ti, the couple didn’t talk at all.

They lay in bed in silence, reflecting on the past.

When they fell asleep, they weren’t sure, but they both woke up the next morning not feeling well.

Lady Zhao, ticulous and careful, feared her mother-in-law might overthink and harm her health, “Mother, with spring approaching, why don’t we stay at the villa for a few days?”

She had long noticed her mother-in-law’s reluctance to leave the ho; unless necessary, her mother-in-law did not wish to step out of the main courtyard.

Zhulan was sowhat tempted, but with Ming Jing by her side and unknown dangers, she shook her head, “No, let’s not go.”

Lady Zhao wanted to insist, but Su Xuan interrupted, “If Mother doesn’t want to go, then it’s settled.

Last year, my elder sister-in-law’s vegetables did well, does Mother want to try growing so?”

Zhulan laughed, “It’s still a bit early, but all right, I know you are worried about .

Rest assured, I’m fine.”

After so more conversation, Lady Zhao and Su Xuan went out.

Lady Zhao, not understanding, asked, “Why did you stop , sister-in-law?”

Su Xuan whispered, “Did Second Sister-in-law forget the assassination attempt?

It’s better our parents don’t leave the capital.”

Lady Zhao realized and was startled, thankful she hadn’t persuaded her mother-in-law.

Her father-in-law cared so much for her mother-in-law; if sothing happened because of her suggestion, not just her father-in-law but even her husband would not let her off.

Su Xuan looked at her second sister-in-law, “Second Sister-in-law, why do I feel that you’ve gained quite a bit of weight?”

Lady Zhao, “Is that so?

Perhaps because my second brother is at ho, I have been eating well and not worrying about things.”

Su Xuan, “Even so, it’s more noticeable this month.”

Her attention had always been on her husband, so she hadn’t paid much attention to her second sister-in-law, but compared to the New Year, she had gained a lot of weight.

Lady Zhao paused, feeling her waist and face, her expression froze, and then her eyes widened, “I must call for the doctor.”

Su Xuan was clever and, noting her sister-in-law’s hands over her lower abdon, understood, “Indeed, you should call for the doctor.”

Two hours later, Zhulan received the news that Lady Zhao was over two months pregnant.

Surprised, she ca to the second wife’s room, “You’ve been a mother several tis, how did you not notice?”

Lady Zhao touched her belly, “My periods are always regular, they ca every ti, so I didn’t realize.”

Zhulan asked, “What did the doctor say?”

Lady Zhao blushed, having moved the fetus, “I need so fetus-preserving dicine.”

Zhulan, “….”

Oh, what a commotion.

This couple was truly spirited, desiring children.

Lady Zhao’s face flushed red, embarrassed after recalling the awkwardness of her fourth sister-in-law and feeling like her whole body was burning up, “Mother.”

Zhulan was composed, “You know the situation.

I have nothing to instruct.

I’ll be going back.”

Lady Zhao let out a sigh, fanning herself with her fan to cool down her blush.

Once her embarrassnt subsided, she was filled with joy, a child.

In Xuzhou Province, Lady Dong had just seen the doctor off.

She was unexpectedly pregnant again.

She and her husband had been careful, thinking their child was still young, wanting to wait until he was older.

The maid was elated, “This ti it must be a young master.

Let’s see who will gossip then.”

Lady Dong no longer cared about the gossip.

Ever since she cut off from the Zhao family, Zhao Ji’s mother didn’t leave after the New Year.

That old lady had a sharp tongue, and she had beco old; Lady Dong didn’t want to be harsh.

The sharper the criticism, the more indifferent the old lady beca, so Lady Dong stopped bothering.

Lady Dong touched her belly; she too hoped for a son.

Even with her husband’s support, she still wanted to avoid the gossip and trouble, “Bring paper and pen, I want to write a letter back to the capital.”

Inside the capital’s palace, the person the Crown Prince sent to Pingzhou had sent a letter back, having found the Shi family’s elder and already embarked for the capital.

The Emperor and the Crown Prince exchanged a glance, both remaining silent.

One would only bring soone back if they had discovered sothing significant.

The letter also ntioned picking up soone on the way back, so it would take so more ti.

The Emperor put down the letter, “Send word to Yu Dang.

No, wait until the people arrive in the capital and are verified before saying anything.”

The Emperor also asked the Crown Prince, “Is Zhang Yang continuing to act recklessly at ho?”

The Crown Prince, “Yes, he continues to act out.”

The Emperor did not believe that Zhang Yang, knowing the truth about his identity, was living recklessly out of disillusionnt; he did not believe Zhang Yang bore no grudge, “Have soone watch him more closely.”

The Crown Prince would not be negligent, “Understood.”
