“Also, remember, if you can avoid offending her, try not to offend her. In fact, try to curry her favor. Unless it’s a last resort …” Zhou Zhenlin made a throat-cutting gesture.
Knowing the severity of the matter, Zhou Dehong immediately replied seriously, “Yes, Father. Your son will pass dovvn the instructions!”
Zhou Zhenlin nodded in satisfaction.
Following that, he seemed to have thought of something and asked, I heard that Zhou wencai rejected the entry to the Yingtian Academy offered by the Zhou family, but he still entered the Yingtian Academy, is that true?
After being reminded of this by his father, Zhou Dehong seemed to have thought of something unpleasant. He frowned and said angrily, “Zhou wencai really doesnt know what’s good for him. It wasn’t easy for our Zhou family to give him one of the two spots to go to the Academy.
“But he rejected it!
“But he still entered the Yingtian Academy!” Zhou Zhenlin l s old eyes stared deeply at his eldest son and he said sharply, “Without the Zhou family, how did he get into the Academy?
Zhou Zhenlin was really resentful of the eldest son of the Zhou family, the heir of the Zhou family, whom he had personally raised.
He wasn’t very smart, but he was so easily impulsive and angry, and he thought highly of himself in everything he did.
With such a personality, even if a treasure were presented to him, he would still think that it was a lie and not directly seize it.
He was a little worried. Would the successor of the Zhou family, whom he had spent so much effort to cultivate, really have the ability to inherit the Zhou family?
Would he bring trouble to the Zhou family after he passed away?
In order to prevent the Zhou family trom declining in the tuture, he was reluctant to hand over the position of the family head so that he could make arrangements for the Zhou familyi s future as much as possible.
He had put in a lot of effort for the Zhou family.
Hearing his father’s scolding, Zhou Dehong was stunned, but he soon realized that he had really done something wrong.
Very quickly, he lowered his head and admitted his mistake. “Father, I know I was wrong!
“where did you go wrong? Zhou Zhenlin asked sternly.
“My mistake was that I was too careless.” Zhou Dehong realized his mistake and said, “After knowing that Zhou Wencai rejected the Zhou familys good intentions and was still able to study at the Academy, I didn’t get anyone to investigate who was helping Zhou Wencai, or what kind of power was supporting him? Is he an enemy or a friend of our Zhou family
Hearing that Zhou Dehong had finally realized his mistake, Zhou Zhenlin finally felt a little comforted.
‘This heir isn’t incurable!’ His heart settled dovvn again.
After all, it wasn’t that simple to groom an heir.
At his age, Zhou Dehong had been the heir since he was young. If he were to be replaced, he would definitely be the one to suffer the most.
Moreover, Zhou Dehong had a younger sister who was the most favored concubine in the palace, a nephew who was the most favored third Prince, and a shockingly beautiful woman who was very likely to be the future Empress. With these connections, Zhou Zhenlin could not simply remove Zhou Dehongs position as the heir.
Otherwise, the first person to disagree would be that person in the palace!
Zhou Zhenlin nodded in satisfaction again and said, “Since you’ve thought it through, send someone to dig out the power behind that brat. If they’re our enemies, we should eliminate them as soon as possible. If we can use them, they should become our allies, understand?”
Zhou Dehong immediately replied respectfully, “Yes, I’ll definitely send someone to investigate!
“Mm, you may leave! I’m tired, I’ll rest here for a while!”
In the Zhou familys purple plum courtyard, Zhou Wenya immediately closed the door after entering the room.
At this moment, her beautiful face revealed a trace of anxiousness and a trace of unwillingness.
Her personal maidservant, Xiao Cui, looked at the usually calm eldest miss.
Seeing her expression, she immediately went up and asked with concern, “Eldest miss, what’s wrong? What’s with this flustered look? did something happen?
After Zhou Wenya leaned against the door for a while, she slowly moved to the table. Xiao Cui immediately poured her a glass of water and said, “Miss, have a glass of water first!
Zhou Wenya took the glass of water and took two sips. Then, she asked, Xiao Cui, he has a fiancée?
Xiao Cui was stunned at first, but then she reacted, “Miss, you mean he found a fiancée?
Zhou Wenya nodded and replied, “That’s right! I heard it from my father and grandfather with my own ears!
“That’s impossible!” Zhou Wenya suddenly threw away the cup in her hand and screamed like a madman, Impossible! How could he have a fiancée? Didn’t they say that no woman in the capital would dare to marry him? Then where did his fiancée come from? How could he have a fiancée?
Her eyes glowed with anger and unwillingness. There was even a determination to destroy everything!
When she saw that her young miss seemed to change into a different person, she immediately whispered in fear, “Young miss, please keep your voice down. Don’t let anyone hear you! Otherwise, the old master would definitely punish the young miss severely!
However, Zhou Wenya kept mumbling, “How can he have a fiancée? How could he have a fiancée?
After Jiang Zhennan and Lin yuelan returned to the country estate, they knew that many people had their eyes on her because of her unexpected appearance today.
Perhaps many people thought that she would become Jiang Zhennan’s weakness.
Therefore, the Nanyuan country estate might be very lively in the future.
But
Lin yuelan sneered and said, “Do they really think I’ll welcome them with open arms at the country estate?”
Jiang Zhennan had also anticipated this problem. He held Lin yuelan’s hand and said, “Yue ‘er, I won’t let anyone come over and disturb you!”
Why should they see his Yue ‘er whenever they wanted to?
So, as long as his Yue ‘er did not want to see anyone, he would not let anyone disturb her.
Lin yuelan shook her head and said, “Don’t worry. I didn’t plan to stay in this country estate forever. When I leave, they won’t be able to find me even if they want to.”
After hearing Lin yuelan’s words, Jiang Zhennan immediately recalled that Lin yuelan had made an agreement with Li Fazhi, the richest man in Zhousan city, to go to the raw stone development site in spring.
Jiang Zhennan thought that it was peaceful these days anyway, and there was nothing for a general like him to do, so he accompanied Lin yuelan.
Jiang Zhennan nodded and said, “Well, that’s true!”
The two of them had a tacit understanding. Although they didn’t say it out
loud, the two of them seemed to have made an agreement.
In the next few days, Lin yuelan and Jiang Zhennan got extremely busy..
