Xuzhou is thousands of miles away from the capital, and it has been more than ten days since the news came here.
The camellias planted by Du Wanchun in the harem were all blooming, but Aunt Zhou was still worried that the emperor would be unfavorable to Zhou Ruiyuan.
Nan Fengling came up to her and comforted her: "Mom, don't worry. Since the eldest brother can obediently bring the sister-in-law into the palace, he must be fully confident."
Aunt Zhou let out a long sigh and said, "I know the Emperor. He will not let me go so easily and let Rui Yuan enter the palace. He definitely wants to use them to blackmail me."
Nan Fengling fell silent, what Aunt Zhou said was indeed true. ?.?????.???
Lu Yan came over and said, "Sister, come and take a look at this."
Aunt Zhou raised her head and asked, "What is it?"
Lu Yan replied: "This is a letter written to me by Mr. Zheng from the capital."
Aunt Zhou quickly took it in her hand and looked at it. It didn't mention Zhou Ruiyuan, but it did talk about the emperor.
Ever since the incident happened in Lord Shi's house, rumors gradually spread in the capital, saying that Lord Lu's family was murdered by an adulterer, and the person behind this was the emperor.
The emperor had always been resentful towards Mr. Lu. After he had gained the imperial power, he immediately used several adults in the court to frame the Lu family.
It was the emperor who repaid his kindness with vengeance and drove out his father-in-law and his family.
After reading this, Aunt Zhou was shocked, "Who came from this?"
Lu Yan took the letter and read it again in his hand, "Master Zheng didn't say it clearly. I guess he was one of the people who conspired to frame us back then. Now that even Master Shi has fallen, they are naturally anxious, so they deliberately Spread this kind of news so that the emperor can restrain himself.”
Aunt Zhou sneered, "Don't they know that the more they do this, the more cruel and ruthless the emperor will be."
Lu Yan slowly burned the letter in his hand, "Then it's their own fault, just in case we do it again."
Aunt Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. This way the emperor is busy dealing with these people and won't focus on us."
Lu Yan turned around, looked behind her, and asked, "Where is Zhouzhou? Are you okay?"
Zhouzhou is the nickname given to their daughter by Aunt Zhou and the Third Prince.
It's not really a nickname, his big name is Zhou Zhou.
Aunt Zhou glanced at the child's room and replied: "She is eating and sleeping now. She is very good. It's just that she was traveling with us a few days ago and got cold. Fortunately, she ate before leaving." The medicine we were given is now complete."
Lu Yan took a deep look at Zhouzhou's house and said, "I'm afraid the emperor will take advantage of her, so I must keep a close eye on her."
Aunt Zhou's eyes sank slightly and she responded: "Well, we are basically inseparable these days."
Lu Yan nodded.
He then asked: "How should Wei Qing be resettled?"
Aunt Zhou raised her head, "You mean Xiao Qing'er?"
"That's right." Lu Yan replied.
Aunt Zhou thought for a while, "Wan Chun's letter to us made it clear that Beidi will send someone to take him back in a few days. We just have to wait for them to come."
Lu Yan smiled and said, "But this kid doesn't want to go back."
Aunt Zhou also laughed, "That's all, if he doesn't want to go back, let him stay here for two more days."
Lu Yan added: "He said he still wants to go back to the capital to find Mianmian."
Nan Fengling on the side was also amused, "I'll go talk to him, maybe he will be willing to go home."
Aunt Zhou raised her eyes and said, "Do you have any idea?"
Nan Fengling pretended to be quiet and said with a smile: "Mom, wait for me first, I will try it."
Aunt Zhou waved her hand, "Go ahead."
Nan Fengling turned around and went to Xiao Qing'er's yard.
When Xiao Qing'er first came here, she thought she was just responsible for delivering messages. Only when she got here did she realize that it was Du Wanchun who had already discussed with his parents and asked them to come here to take him home.
He was quite dissatisfied. He finally escaped and now he was being sent back.
Nan Fengling came over and asked, "I heard that you don't want to go back?"
Xiao Qing'er nodded heavily, lowered her eyes, and looked aggrieved.
Nan Fengling walked up to him and said in a gentle tone: "Since you came from the capital, you probably know that Xiao Mianmian has entered the palace now. If you go back now, you may not see them. Instead of doing everything here, No, it’s better to go back early and inherit your father’s great cause.”
Usually, Du Wanchun and Zhou Ruiyuan thought that Xiao Qing'er was young, so they didn't explain their words. Today, Nan Fengling's words really hit the nail on the head.
Xiao Qing'er raised her eyes with a look of shock, "Inherit my father's great cause?"
Nan Fengling chuckled lightly and continued: "You little carrot, let me ask you, if something happens to little Mianmian in the future, what will you do to save her?"
"Are you going to die with your little body?"
"You are still young and have no strength in your hands. You cannot lift a knife or a sword. If something happens, I think you will only be able to hold back."
Xiao Qinger was silent.
