Chapter 1387: Chapter 1387: Commotion

Zhou Shuren was also angry, he couldn’t catch those two rascals anymore, "Once they come back, we will deal with them properly."

Zhulan became anxious again, "Come back, can they come back safely? Do they know that the more they know, the harder it is for them to leave!"

Zhou Shuren patted his wife’s back, "Don’t be angry, when they come back I’ll break their legs."

The Emperor said it was hard to find twins as identical as them in the entire country, after all, the Emperor was very surprised by the twins and had already planned how to arrange them, what could he do, he was helpless.

If the twins didn’t privately agree, he still had ways to manage, but then again, the Emperor intentionally didn’t tell him!

Zhulan took a deep breath, "Do Xue Mei and Jiang Sheng know?"

Zhou Shuren shook his head, "Jiang Miu is getting married, I dared not tell them. When Jiang Sheng asked me, I said the twins were favored by the Emperor for some assignments, I didn’t say anything else."

"...This isn’t exactly lying to them."

Zhou Shuren touched his nose, "I mean to tell Xue Mei and her husband after Miumiu comes back from her marital home."

Zhulan felt discomfort in her chest, "I need to go back and lie down for a while."

"Do you want to call a doctor?"

Zhulan waved her hand, "No need, I’ll be fine after some rest."

Back at the mansion, once Chang Yi returned, Zhou Shuren called him over to talk about the whereabouts of the twins, leaving Chang Yi stunned, "What?"

"You trained the twins with this in mind, didn’t you?"

Chang Yi’s head shook like a rattle, "No, no, father you mustn’t wrongly accuse your son, how would I dare to have such intentions, I trained them to let them develop the land our family wants to buy, not to become spies!"

Their natures are completely different, one is guarding the family business, the other is selling his life to the country.

Zhou Shuren, "Wait three days, then go tell your brother-in-law and older sister."

Chang Yi, "...Father, I probably"

"Hmm?"

Chang Yi instantly caved, "I’ll definitely explain clearly."

Zhou Shuren waved his hand, he didn’t want to see his second son anymore, Chang Yi left in a daze, suddenly his teeth started to hurt, how could he explain this to his brother-in-law? Those were his two eldest sons!

In the following days, Zhulan’s spirit wasn’t well due to her twin grandsons, Chang Yi was miserable, his father was displeased with him, it was tough.

After knowing the reason, Zhao’s wife no longer felt sympathy for her husband, she needed to think about how to face Xue Mei.

Soon, when Miumiu’s marriage visit ended, Chang Yi begrudgingly went to his brother-in-law’s home and explained clearly about the whereabouts of the twins.

Xue Mei nearly collapsed to the floor, her voice trembling as she asked, "Second brother, are you lying to me?"

Chang Yi rubbed his face, "What joke would your second brother play, I couldn’t joke about my two nephews."

Xue Mei felt her heart wrenching, her two sons, "How could this be, how could this be."

At the same time, she was furious, those two kids dared to agree privately!

Jiang Sheng calmed down, "It’s not second brother’s fault, the Emperor has set his sights on them and they couldn’t avoid it."

The Emperor avoiding their father-in-law stated it clearly, the Emperor knew that their father-in-law would not agree, and still pressed on the twins, so he bypassed their father-in-law directly. The twins, unable to take the imperial examination due to their appearance, had their own thoughts. They knew that discussing it at home would be disapproved, so they daringly agreed directly.

Xue Mei couldn’t accept it, was being a spy a good job? That was risking their lives!

Chang Yi dryly consoled, "The two children have been skilled in martial arts since they were young, they are bold, meticulous and smart, you can rest a bit more assured."

Xue Mei, wiping her tears, said, "The more outstanding the children are, the greater the dangers they face, second brother, you don’t need to comfort us anymore."

Chang Yi, "..."

He might as well not have provided any comfort at all!

The Zhou family, Yushuang, "Grandma, are you feeling better?"

"I’m much better, don’t worry about me. I heard from your mother that you’ll be leaving tomorrow to go pay tribute to the ancestors."

Yushuang nodded, "I came today to have my mother help take care of the children for a few days."

"Is your mother-in-law going back with you?"

Otherwise, she wouldn’t even look at her grandson.

Yushuang nodded, "Back then, the Gu family clan chased away my mother-in-law, she’s still holding a grudge, and this time she wants to return in glory."

"It’s good to go back, once she goes back, she’ll overcome the hurdle in her heart."

Yushuang truly felt pity for her mother-in-law, "The first half of my mother-in-law’s life was not easy, now she can finally enjoy some blessings."

"Once you return, you’ll need to prepare to set off again."

These days, apart from the Scholars, orders have been gradually received, Wong Wei was among the first batch to get the orders, just waiting to report to the Ministry of Works.

Yushuang smiled, "Yeah, my father said it’s not far from the capital, and he’s mysteriously not telling us in advance."

Zhulan knew something and laughed, "You’ll find out when you return."

At the Wong household, Yu Lu and her husband went through the door back to the mansion, her husband didn’t have to study recently, and her belly wasn’t very big, so these days her husband accompanied her for walks daily.

The couple bought quite a few fruits on the street and returned home, changed their clothes and went to the main courtyard, just as they reached the main courtyard’s gateway, they heard the voice of the second wife.

Wong Wei frowned, "Why is the second wife speaking so loudly to grandmother?"

Yu Lu didn’t really want to enter, but the maids at the doorway had already seen them, it wouldn’t be good to turn back now, she whispered, "It must be about Wang Hua’s marriage matters."

Wong Wei looked upset, "Grandmother picked good families, I even specifically met the gentlemen on the list, regardless of their learning or background, in what way is Wang Hua unsatisfied?"

Yu Lu tugged at her husband’s sleeve, "You’re speaking too loudly, the maids have heard."

Wong Wei was really angry, Wang Hua has been causing trouble frequently, and grandmother’s complexion has been very bad lately, "Let’s go in and see."

Yu Lu sighed, she really didn’t want to get involved in Wang Hua’s marriage matters, Wang Hua had tried to talk to her several times and each time she pretended to be unwell to avoid him.

The girl guarding the door pulled back the curtains, Wong Wei supporting his wife walked in, just to see, the women from the second wife’s side had all come, and Wang Hua was standing behind his mother.

Without a daughter-in-law to help out, and the granddaughter-in-law pregnant, these days it was her dealing with her brothers and sisters herself.

Mrs. Tao glared at her grandson, "Why did you and Yu Lu come, Yu Lu is pregnant, you should quickly take your wife back to rest."

Wong Wei looking at his lone grandmother, just as he was about to speak, Yu Lu spoke up first; in a room full of women, it wasn’t good for a husband to speak.

Yu Lu said, "We bought some fruits on the street, my husband and I specially brought some for you, grandmother."

Mrs. Tao felt reassured, Yu Lu, being raised by the Zhou family, was very generous, never mean, and always remembered her with anything good to eat, "Grandmother doesn’t lack fruits, you all take them back."

Yu Lu with a worried face, "Grandmother, you’ve looked poorly these days, as your granddaughter-in-law, it pains me to see you handling the household daily, grandmother, this is my and my husband’s filial piety, you can’t refuse it."
