Since they returned to the capital, they, including Jiang Zhennan, had cut off all contact with Lin yuelan. They did not even write to each other, so they had no idea about Lin yuelan’s situation.

However, why did they say that Lin yuelan was giving Zhou Changsheng a big gift? It was because they had guessed it.

The reason for his guess was, of course, based on zhou Shan City’s restaurant.

They couldn’t follow Lin yuelan’s situation, but they had to know about Zhou Changsheng’s situation. That was how they knew about the business of the restaurant.

According to his reasoning, Lin yuelan would definitely be there when the restaurant opened.

From An Ding County to Zhou Shan city, they had to pa.s.s through the black wind forest.

That gang of bandits was hiding in the black wind forest, intercepting pa.s.sersby there to carry out their robbery.

Therefore, judging from the time when the restaurant opened, and the time when the robber surrendered, this matter was most likely related to Lin yuelan.

Zhou Wencai had just received his father’s letter, so he said, ” I heard that this business is booming. Before the opening, little sister Yuelan invited the three business chambers’ vice presidents, my father, the four great families, and the four respected elders of Zhou Shan city. More than half of them came.”

Guo Bing and Jiang Zhennan were very surprised when they heard Zhou Wencai’s words.

For a restaurant to open for business, Lin yuelan had actually invited all the powers from Zhou Shan to a banquet. This was a big and difficult matter, but Lin yuelan actually had the ability to handle it.

Guo Bing suddenly wanted to rip open Lin yuelan’s brain and wonder if she was really a monster.

Guo Bing and Jiang Zhennan took a moment to digest this piece of news. Then, they looked at Zhou Wencai and asked, ” the Zhou family has already tried to pull you and your father back to the Zhou family. What are your plans now? ”

Zhou Wencai shook his head and said, ” sister Yuelan told me to return if the Zhou family calls me back. Then, we’ll deal with the Zhou family from the inside.”

“Deal with the Zhou family?” Guo Bing was a little confused.

Zhou Wencai replied, ” that’s right. I’m only a scholar now. If I want to enter the Imperial court, I have to be a high scholar. Only then will I be more valuable. If the Zhou family wants to make use of me but doesn’t want me to be in the limelight and suppress the Zhou family’s direct bloodline, they’ll definitely do something in the dark. At that time, I’ll get hold of their weakness, and my father and I can leave the Zhou family.”

After Guo Bing heard that, he said, “d.a.m.n.”

This was like entering the tiger’s den.

They were trying to force the Zhou family head to give up on the Zhou father and son.

Jiang Zhennan asked, ” so, you are going to appear in front of the Zhou family now? ”

Zhou wencai replied, ” yes.”

…

A middle-aged man looked at the white-bearded elder and frowned. “father, there’s something wrong with Zhou Changsheng’s promotion.”

Zhou Changsheng was from the main branch, but because he didn’t have much value, he was sent to a small county like An Ding County.

But who would have thought that five years later, he would be able to gain the emperor’s favor for no reason?

He was promoted directly from a seventh-grade County Magistrate to a fifth-grade magistrate. He was so lucky that he gained credit again not long after he was promoted to the magistrate.

The most confusing thing was, why did the bandits turn themselves in?

This was the most obvious sign that something was wrong.

The white-bearded old man stroked his beard and said with a dark expression, ” Hong ‘Er, no matter what, Zhou Changsheng is still a member of the Zhou family. No matter what was wrong with him, he had the emperor’s favor, which meant he was on the emperor’s side. The third Prince needed the emperor’s people to be his spy and support. And Zhou Changsheng is the best candidate.”

Zhou Dehong pondered for a moment. “then, father, what should we do now? ”

The white-bearded elder, Zhou Zhenlin, who was also the head of the Zhou family, said, ” yes. Write a letter to Zhou Changsheng and tell him that we have arranged for his son, Zhou Wencai, to study at the Yingtian Academy. I believe he will not refuse.”

When Zhou Dehong heard his father’s words, he said hesitantly, ” father, our Zhou family only has two spots to go to the Yingtian Academy. Are we really going to give it to Zhou Wencai? He’s a member of the Zhou family. Zhou Changsheng has to obey our request. Isn’t it a waste to give the spot to his son?”

Zhou Zhenlin looked at his eldest son and said, ” Hong ‘Er, if you want the fish, you have to cast some bait. Zhou Changsheng was able to get the emperor’s favor from a small county. That was his ability, not the Zhou family’s resources.

“So, if you want Zhou Changsheng to be loyal to the Zhou family and be grateful to us, then the Zhou family must pay the price.”

Zhou Dehong was still a little worried. “father, one of the two slots to go to the Yingtian Academy is for Jing ‘Er, and the other is for Cheng ‘Er. Father, this …”

Jing ‘Er was his concubine’s eldest son, and also his most beloved son. It was difficult for a concubine’s son to enter the academy. This time, he had asked his father for it with great difficulty, just to give him, the concubine’s eldest son, a future.

As for Cheng ‘Er, he was his third brother’s eldest son. However, his third brother was not favored by his father, and so were his children.

This time, Cheng ‘Er was allowed to enter the Yingtian Academy because his younger brother had knelt down and begged his father.

Zhou Zhenlin immediately made a decision. “give up Jing ‘Er’s spot.

Zhou Dehong immediately turned pale with fright. “Father!”

Zhou Zhenlin’s face darkened. “Hong ‘Er, ” he scolded. “a concubine is a concubine. No matter how much you dote on a concubine’s son, the concubine will never be able to be the first wife. Otherwise, the Zhou family would have been replaced by the branch families.”

Zhou Dehong immediately admitted his mistake. “father, your son knows his mistake!”

“Mm, go and make the arrangements!” Zhou Zhenlin waved his hand.

“Yes.” Zhou Dehong went down.
