Transmigration: The Evil Mother-In-Law Is Actually Innocent! Chapter 915 - 915 915 The Aspirations of Twins
915: Chapter 915: The Aspirations of Twins 915: Chapter 915: The Aspirations of Twins In the Palace, Zhou Shuren and the Minister of War were walking together.
They hadn’t left the Palace yet when the Emperor found out the news.
Now, hearing that Zhou Shuren invited Li Zhao to sit at the Ministry of Revenue, the Emperor laughed.
With Zhou Shuren involving the Minister of War, the waters beca even muddier.
Several Princes were also sowhat muddled.
How did Zhou Shuren and Li Zhao beco connected?
The Crown Prince was steady.
He knew the Emperor hadn’t said anything to Zhou Shuren, and as for Li Zhao, this man was only loyal to the Emperor, so he had nothing to worry about.
At the Zhou residence, after breakfast, Xue i and Jiang Sheng stayed behind.
Xue i said, “Mother, the house you helped buy doesn’t need much tidying up.
My husband and I have discussed it, and we are planning to move in today.”
Zhulan was reluctant to let her daughter go, yet the daughter was taking her in-laws with her, and it wouldn’t be comfortable for Jiang Sheng to stay long-term, “Now that we’re close, co back to visit often in the future.”
Xue i was afraid her mother would disagree and nodded emphatically, “Mhm, don’t get annoyed with then, Mother.”
Zhulan thought the Zhou family’s girls really had high emotional intelligence.
Xue i, as the Jiang family’s daughter-in-law, handled each matter with such high EQ.
Just look at Jiang Sheng’s reaction; he was truly in Xue i’s hands for life.
Jiang Sheng expressed his gratitude, “I’ve made my mother-in-law worry.
I thank you here.”
Zhulan accepted the thanks, as it was her due.
The change in the social hierarchy—with the old Jiang couple never having caught her eye before leaving their hotown, she certainly wasn’t about to lower herself now.
It was just Lady Jiangwang who was afraid.
Jiang Sheng’s thanks wasn’t rely for her concern but also for her forbearance.
Xue i winked at her mother, reassured that she could live a good life in the capital.
However, “Mother, we still need your help to buy land.
Jiang Sheng can have twenty acres of land tax-exempt.”
That was a significant inco every year.
With the silver from the gifts used up, and after repaying the silver for buying the house, she planned to use most of the remaining silver to buy thirty acres of land and save a small portion for daily expenses.
Even without the silver from her dowry, their family could still live well.
Zhulan took note, “I will have Scholar Deng pay extra attention.”
Xue i was efficient.
Having her mother’s approval, she had Granny Song help arrange the carriage.
Since yesterday’s luggage had already been sent over, there was no need to rush with baggage.
Xue i bid farewell with the old Jiang couple and got into the carriage and left.
Xue i’s decisive actions sohow made Xue Han feel uncomfortable.
“Mother, why is big sister in such a hurry to leave?”
Zhulan smiled, “There’s no need to feel bad, they will live close by in the future.
Your sister is considering her husband’s needs.
You should learn from her too so that when you are married, you will think more of Rongchuan.”
The way of husband and wife; Xue i had figured it out on her own.
She, as a mother, truly hadn’t taught Xue i much, and she felt happy about Xue i’s wisdom.
Xue Han’s cheeks turned red.
Getting married, she was to be married this year.
Being close by, Xue i arrived at her new ho quickly.
As the old Jiang couple entered the courtyard, their eyes never wandered, and the children ran around holding hands.
After checking the place, Jiang’s father said to his son, “This courtyard is nice.”
Although not large, it was peaceful.
The Zhou’s residence was big, big enough to make his legs tremble, and he couldn’t enjoy it; a smaller courtyard brought peace to his heart.
Lady Jiangwang felt more at ease, “This is the first al in our ho in the capital.
I want to showcase my cooking at noon.”
Xue i smiled, “Mother, there is a vegetable market nearby, I’ll accompany you to take a look.”
Lady Jiangwang was even happier, “Great, you accompany today, and from tomorrow on, you won’t need to.
The kitchen will be left to in the future.”
Xue i said, “Mother, that’s not acceptable.”
Lady Jiangwang waved her hand, “It’s settled.”
She couldn’t feel at ease without doing sothing, even though the residence was bought by her son and daughter-in-law after years of saving.
She knew very well how they had scrimped and saved the Silver.
Xue i didn’t argue out loud, deciding it would be better to just help out more in the future.
Although her mother-in-law had been unkind in the past, after living together for many years, she indeed had provided a lot of help.
Moreover, with the importance of filial piety, her husband and son still had their imperial examinations ahead, and with her mother-in-law moving to the capital, just as it was back in their old ho, she could truly rest easy.
The twins returned quickly and soon, they were running all over the courtyard, wielding sticks and sparring with each other, giving Xue i a headache.
Jiang Miu explained, “After hearing yesterday that their second uncle was setting off to sea, they’ve been clamoring to learn martial arts, with hopes of going to sea in the future.”
Xue i gritted her teeth, “They really dare to dream.”
Jiang Miu chuckled secretly; the twin brothers had always been bold drears.
At the Zhou residence, Zhulan and the wet nurse were discussing Shen Xing’s marriage arrangents, as Shen Xing had returned, and the date of his wedding could be set.
Shen Xing knew that Jingyan had acknowledged godmother Song as his godmother.
Jingyan gave it so thought and then went to et the wet nurse.
The wet nurse, who had once envied godmother Song, was no longer envious; she now had a son of her own.
Zhulan was fair to Jingyan and Shen Xing alike.
Whatever Jingyan had, Shen Xing had too, and the wet nurse was busy arranging Shen Xing’s marriage.
Zhulan didn’t hurry the wet nurse away, “I had originally planned to have you accompany Xue Han when she gets married.
Of course, that idea hasn’t changed.
My intention is for you to stay with Xue Han for five years, and after five years, I will let you leave the residence to be taken care of by Shen Xing in your old age.”
In five years’ ti—this was the period she estimated for the transfer of imperial power, during which everything would settle down.
Xue Han would also grow up rapidly within these five years.
Afterward, she planned to let godmother Song and the wet nurse retire.
The wet nurse calculated her age and added five years, realizing she wouldn’t be very old, not even fifty.
As long as she could enjoy a good life after five years, what was there to be unwilling about?
“I will certainly protect the young lady well,” she promised.
Zhulan nodded, “Pay more attention to the maids around Xue Han; she is getting married this year.”
The wet nurse committed it all to mory.
That evening, the entire Jiang family ca over for dinner.
Zhou Shuren said, “I’d like to propose a toast to my respected father-in-law.”
Old Master Jiang held the wine cup carefully.
This man was not only his in-law but also an official of the third rank.
Grinning, he thought to himself that when it was ti to return to his roots, he’d surely brag a lot more.
“It should be I who is toasting my respected father-in-law,” he said.
Zhou Shuren drained his glass, “You and I haven’t seen each other for many years, brother.
Let’s not stand on ceremony today, we won’t return until we are drunk.”
Old Master Jiang also drained his glass, “We won’t return until we are drunk.”
In the end, Zhou Shuren was unhard, but Old Master Jiang drank too much and even acted crazy from the liquor.
He cried and laughed by turns but fortunately, didn’t speak nonsense.
After the Jiang family had left, Zhulan made sure Zhou Shuren truly hadn’t drunk too much before she was reassured.
“You should drink less in the future, you’re not young anymore, and drinking too much is harmful to your health.”
Zhou Shuren replied, “I was actually looking forward to a good chat.
What is there to talk about?
Drinking is more carefree.”
Zhulan chuckled; Xue i’s father indeed had only a few topics to talk about; it was indeed better to drink.
Zhou Shuren continued, “I’ve already made arrangents for the Academy that Jiang Sheng is going to attend.
He’ll teach Class D while studying at the Academy, and his remuneration will offset the tuition fees.”
Zhulan was surprised, “When did you arrange that?
I didn’t even know?”
Zhou Shuren smiled, “These are all trifles.
But n have their pride.
Ever since Xue Han ntioned that he has been using his own salary back ho, I’ve been considering how to make arrangents for him.”
Zhulan humd in acknowledgnt, “As long as you have it figured out, that’s fine.”
