The old lady's words made sense, and she didn't know how to reply for a moment.
"But what you said makes sense. Don't let Zhou Wenbin come to the house for the time being. I will make arrangements for him. As for the current duties of Supervisor Tiansi, it is impossible to use them to supervise hundreds of officials, let alone check you. Those bad things.
What we need is to help Zhang Yuhang make a contribution in the Supervisory Sky Division first, and then I will try to find an opportunity to transfer him out of the Supervisory Sky Division. After all, our Marquis Mansion is only for the Great Zhou Sheji today. I believe that even His Majesty will give our Hou Mansion this face. "
Liu Shirui said hurriedly: "Then can't we go directly to His Majesty to transfer Zhang Yuhang from Tiantian Division now?"
The old lady shouted angrily: "Foolish, you are unwilling or reluctant to the decree that His Majesty just issued. Where do you put His Majesty's majesty?
Besides, if you don’t have any merit, where can you ask Zhang Yuhang, your son-in-law, to find a job? Without His Majesty's approval, there is no chance for him to serve as an official. Otherwise, so many son-in-laws in Kyoto would be in trouble. In contrast, Your Majesty can allow Zhang Yuhang to re-enter the court as our Xingyong Marquis. Tang, is already a gift from heaven. "
As people age, they become more mature, and the old lady sees this aspect clearly than anyone else.
A son-in-law who comes to the door is like a prince-in-law and cannot serve as an official. This is a rule established by the empire. No one can cross this gap except for His Majesty.
"What should I do with Zhou Lang? He has already prepared to come to the house in a few days. How can I explain this sudden change to Zhou Lang?"
Liu Shirui still refused to give up. She hadn't seen her sweetheart for several days, and she still had to wait. How could this be allowed?
The old lady walked up to Liu Shirui on crutches and said: "Don't forget that you are a bloodline of the Hou family, and Liu Ziheng is also your biological son. If it is really for your son's good, try to minimize your interactions with that sour scholar Zhou Wenbin in the future. contact."
Liu Shirui's eyes widened and she looked at the old lady in disbelief, "Old lady, what are you talking about? Before, you also acquiesced to let Zhou Lang find an opportunity to come to the Hou Mansion. Besides, Zhou Lang's side There is also the relationship with Prince Kang, we still have to count on him to do his best for the Hou Mansion and protect Zi Heng’s future, have you forgotten?"
The old lady looked at her granddaughter with hatred, "Shut up, you have to know that Yuhang is your only husband, and he is also recognized by the court as the uncle of my Hou family. Yuhang will do everything you say in the future. , and will do better.
As for King Kang, it is good to be able to connect with this line, but there is no loss if you don't have it. The survival of our Hou Mansion relies on our own strength, not someone's appreciation. "
Although King Kang has a noble status, he is only a prince.
As a noble family, their status is not much inferior to that of a prince. If they want to restore the glory of the Hou Mansion, it will not be of much benefit to rely solely on the appreciation of a prince, unless he is His Majesty.
But now His Majesty is interested in Zhang Yuhang, the uncle of the Hou family. Under such circumstances, she will never let anything happen to Zhang Yuhang, nor will she let Liu Shirui's actions pose a threat to the Hou family.
Liu Shirui looked at the old lady unconvinced: "I don't care, it's impossible for me to not meet Zhou Lang, and no one can stop me."
The old lady glanced at Liu Shirui with a fierce look, already extremely disappointed with her.
This granddaughter is completely hopeless.
"Aunt Zhou." The old lady shouted to Aunt Zhou beside her.
"Old lady." Grandma Zhou stood up and responded.
The old lady pointed at Liu Shirui and said: "From today on, Liu Shirui can only stay in Yonganju and take care of Yuhang's daily life. She is not allowed to step out of Yonganju without my order.
There was also the maid next to her. I sent someone to change it for me. I took care of that maid. I didn’t want to see her again. "
Not only did Liu Shirui's eyes widen in confusion at what the old lady said, but even Aunt Zhou, a person close to the old lady, couldn't believe it.
"Old lady, is this a bit too much? And how do you explain this to the madam?" After hearing the old lady's order, Grandma Zhou did not agree immediately, but asked doubtfully.
The old lady said: "It's okay. I will tell Liu's side that she is not a fool. She knows that the Hou Mansion and her future prosperity can only rely on Ziheng and Yuhang, and Zhou Wenbin is unreliable. As for you, Liu Shirui, I The daughter of the Hou family."
The old lady's tone became particularly solemn and she said solemnly: "I should have done this a long time ago, and of course it's not too late now.
Let me tell you, the appointment of Yuhang as an official is related to the future rise and fall of our Hou family. I have tolerated you before, on the one hand, because you gave birth to a good son, which can continue the direct bloodline of my Hou family, and on the other hand, because I I haven't made up my mind, and I don't see the future of the Hou Mansion except for Zi Heng.
Unfortunately, His Majesty has made a decision for me. I am already half dead and no one knows how long I can survive. Instead of believing in Zhou Wenbin's rhetoric and using the power of the Hou Mansion to pave the way for Zhou Wenbin, it is better to Choose Aerospace.
At the very least, I don’t need to tell you what kind of performance Yuhang has been in the past few years. Everyone in the Hou Mansion can clearly see it. I feel safe using such a person. "
The old lady's words were like thunder in Liu Shirui's heart, and she quickly begged: "No, old lady, you can't do this, you can't separate Zhou Lang and me."
The old lady glanced at her disdainfully: "Let me tell you, you stay with Yuhang obediently and take care of the two children. You don't have to worry about Ziheng's future, I will arrange everything.
But if you dare to play tricks, then don’t blame me, a grandma, for being rude to you. As long as Zi Heng is here, I am not afraid that the Hou Mansion will lose its inheritance and incense. As long as Yuhang is here, I am not afraid that no one will support the Hou Mansion. As long as the glory of the Hou Mansion can be guaranteed, I don't care if there is one less so-called granddaughter. "
Liu Shirui was shocked and exclaimed: "Old lady, what do you mean, what do you want to do?" '
"Do your duty as a wife well, and you don't need to worry about the rest. I will send people to keep an eye on you. Of course, I won't stop you even if you want to die. You can choose what to do."
Then she was too lazy to continue talking to this idiot and asked Aunt Zhou to take Liu Shirui down.
In the past, I had no choice. I might have been forced or helpless to endure this stupid and unreasonable request, but now that the Marquis Mansion has come back into His Majesty's sight, it also means that His Majesty has not forgotten the sacrifices made by the Xingyong Marquis Mansion.
Then she must seize His Majesty's grace, not only to restore the glory of the former Marquis Mansion, but at least to keep the title of the Marquis Mansion, but this cannot be achieved without Zhang Yuhang's dedication.
There is also the help of Marquis Yongchang behind him. Why is this not better than Zhou Wenbin's illusory promise?
After a while, the old lady rubbed her forehead with a headache and walked to the racecourse outside the city with her guards.
After temporarily solving Liu Shirui's problem, she still had to arrange a bodyguard for Zhang Yuhang. This was also a thorn in Zhang Yuhang's side. She had to choose the right one to make the best use of them. .
The most important thing was to resolve Zhou Wenbin, an unstable factor that could appear at any time. From the moment she made up her mind to focus on Zhang Yuhang and Liu Ziheng, Zhou Wenbin, the child's biological father, had already been doomed. .
I really thought that she, an old woman who could still support the Hou Mansion after encountering such a big crisis, was a vegetarian.
