Transmigration: The Evil Mother-In-Law Is Actually Innocent! Chapter 1285: 1285: Quite a Few People

Chapter 1285: Chapter 1285: Quite a Few People

Mingyun had been ho for less than an hour and was stuffed. Under the smiling gaze of his grandmother, he drank the digestive soup that had already been prepared.

Mingyun, “!!”

He didn’t know how he had upset his grandmother!

When Zhulan saw her eldest grandson finish the drink, she slowly said, “You still are too careless. You could have avoided this perfectly. What has Grandma taught you? What if you were unlucky?”

Mingyun coughed unnaturally. He was used to controlling everything, a habit that made him feel like everything was in his hands. At the Zhao family, he could indeed directly stop any scheming.

Zhulan continued, “I have also taught you that the power of public opinion is terrifying. Used well, it can kill without a trace. This ti, the Zhao family still fears us, but what if it’s soone who isn’t afraid? If rumors had spread first, how could you still pass your exams?”

Mingyun earnestly replied, “Grandma, I will take this as a lesson and never underestimate my opponents again.”

Satisfied, Zhulan nodded, “Looking at you, you do seem to have gained quite a bit of weight.”

Mingyun, “….”

He felt sothing was off about his grandmother today, constantly offering him dishes not to ntion only satisfied after watching him eat them, ah, her gentleness was the scariest.

Lady Li, “!!”

So, she was the only one who thought her son looked thinner?

Several younger ones, especially Ming Teng who had experienced the gentle grandmother, stepped back as he whimpered, not wanting to rember when Grandma made him eat the ‘beating al’.

Ming Hui blinked his big eyes, no wonder little uncle said Grandma was the scariest person, not to be provoked.

While digesting, Mingyun talked about things back at their old ho and so amusing stories.

What pleased Zhulan the most was that the family had gained five more scholars, the youngest of whom was only fifteen. This signified that the clan school was doing well and indicated the thriving foundation of the Zhou family.

Then ca a list of gifts from the clan, all of which Mingyun accepted. These were tokens of gratitude from the clan mbers, nothing expensive, just so mountain goods picked last year.

When Mingyun returned to his own courtyard, it was indeed large.

Ming Teng said cheerfully, “This is the courtyard where elder brother will live after getting married. Do you like it, big brother?”

Mingyun smiled, “Of course, I must like it; I’ve been away from ho for so long and missed you all. I’ve brought gifts for you.”

Ming Teng and the others had a bad feeling and started thinking of excuses to leave.

Mingyun smiled, “I want to see who dares to step out of this courtyard.”

Ming Teng and the others widened their eyes, regretting mocking their big brother before; the payback ca too quickly.

Especially after seeing the ‘gifts’, even the usually carefree Ming Rui froze as he looked at the thick stack of papers and asked stiffly, “Big brother, where did all these questions co from?”

Mingyun replied to Ming Rui, “Oh, these? Apart from partaking in the examinations, I gained quite so insights. I had nothing else to do in Pingzhou, so I expanded on so questions based on the topics and even consulted my uncle’s master. You all are going for exams; how do you like this gift?”

Ming Teng did not like it, not at all, dryly, “Big brother, I’ve been quite busy. Uncle-in-law makes run errands from ti to ti.”

Mingyun soberly said, “Are you showing off your status as Mr. Hou?”

Ming Teng promptly shut his mouth. Experience told him that obediently accepting it was the best course of action.

Chang Zhong shook the exam booklet; he was just here for the spectacle, “Why do I have one too, hmm?”

Mingyun looked at his younger uncle, the two exchanged glances for a mont, Mingyun reached out and took it back, “Young Uncle doesn’t need it.”

It wasn’t that he was timid, but that his young uncle could use his status to dominate him!

Chang Zhong was satisfied, having seen enough spectacle, waved his hand, “I’ll be heading back first, dear nephew should rest early.”

The emphasis was particularly heavy on the words ‘dear nephew’, tsk tsk, the nephew went out and dared to bring him a surprise, this is not good!

Ming Hui’s eyes sparkled, but he silenced when he t his elder brother’s eyes, ah, he couldn’t afford to provoke the elder brother, nor the young uncle!

In the evening, Zhou Shuren returned, the old man’s brisk walk seed to slice the wind, alas, his grandson was doing him proud, tenderly inquiring about his warmth and cold.

As a result, Old Zhou enviously looked at his eldest son, his son was about to get married, his father had never treated him so, unfortunately, he could only envy as his son was more formidable.

Chang Yi looked at his son, then at the several boys from the main house, thinking that this country must indeed co forth.

Chang Zhi, rather than considering his son, was sowhat dazed, this many years, and his father boasting was still a first; indeed, the affection skipped a generation!

The eldest grandson of the Zhou family had returned, the Ran family was the most inford, now that the Zhou family had moved into the new residence, it was ti to proceed with the fixed date of ceremony.

Two days later on an auspicious day, the Qi Clan ca over, “Shall we pick a good day to set the date?”

Zhulan was sowhat embarrassed, “It should have been who ca looking for you.”

She had already chosen the date and prepared the gifts, but the Ran family was more anxious than the Zhou family.

The Qi Clan knew they had been hasty too, but thinking again, the Ran family had to hurry, this Zhou Mingyun’s Xiao Sanyuan really made a splash, and there was nothing in the Zhou family they didn’t know about, so she ca anyway, “It’s all the sa.”

Zhulan took out the chosen date and showed it to the Qi Clan, “I had already selected a good date, half a month from now, what do you think?”

Qi Clan seeing the mark of the brush by Mrs. yang, smiled brightly, this indicated that the Zhou family really cared for Ran Wan, “Good.”

Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren looked at the young Crown Prince who ca by himself, not accompanied by the Retired Emperor, “Does Crown Prince have any business with ?”

The young Crown Prince was smiling, “I would like to see Xiao Sanyuan, your eldest grandson.”

Zhou Shuren twitched his mouth corner, “You may go directly.”

The young Crown Prince could indeed go directly, but he chose not to, hmm, this was his test for Lord Zhou’s eldest grandson, “Could the Lord notify your eldest grandson, when I have ti I will visit him.”

Zhou Shuren watching the young Crown Prince who left after speaking, chuckled, the lad learned to test others, but he doubted if his grandson would take it seriously enough to rember day by day.

Zhou Shuren thought of his grandson, his lips curled upward a bit more, the grandson was busy making clothes at ho, in these past two days, the grandson had made many new acquisitions, then he sighed, after his grandson gets married, his own generation status would not be far from rising.

A few days later at the early imperial court, today’s was particularly different, the Retired Emperor had also arrived, sitting conspicuously beside the Emperor.

The ministers dared not whisper to each other, with the two past Emperors above them, the pressure was doubled!

Although occasionally eting the Retired Emperor on the streets of the capital might make one think he had beco gentler, an Emperor is an Emperor, the scene changes, who then rembers the retired state of the Emperor from the streets, only recalling the fearful Emperor from deep within their mories.

Zhou Shuren was the first to break through the tension; the Emperor had been making continuous moves lately, the Retired Emperor often returning to the palace, observing the calm deanor of the Minister of Rites, it seed preparations were already made.

Indeed, when the Emperor began, he dropped a bombshell; even the ministers who speculated were sowhat startled, they hadn’t expected the Emperor to choose so many at once.
