She traveled through the book to become the prince's concubine? She chose to be the villain!

Liu felt that she was not a stingy person and she did not feel bad about giving things, but her sister-in-law was really unreasonable!

"Why don't you speak?"

When the eldest master of the Zhou family asked this, Liu couldn't help but started complaining.

"My dear husband, you should know that I am not a stingy person, otherwise I would not have supported my aunt for so many years.

I know that my aunt suffered a lot for the sake of the family. Whether you give her a generous dowry or money, I have no complaints.

But how has my aunt treated us over the years? Not to mention the attitude of the Marquis's Mansion, my aunt herself has not even come back to visit us over the years, and she hasn't even said hello.

I am your sister-in-law, an outsider, and I am not worthy of a letter of greeting. But what about my mother? She is my biological mother, why didn’t my aunt send anyone to visit her? "

Speaking of this, Liu felt uncomfortable.

She has lived a comfortable life since she got married and is naturally very nice to her mother-in-law.

My mother-in-law has two sons and one daughter, so naturally she misses her daughters.

She prepares gifts for her daughter and children every holiday.

She also prepared, they were all good things and she never dared to treat them badly.

But over the years, my sister-in-law only sent back a few letters, and other than that, there was really no news at all.

Even if you can't come back yourself, at least asking the maid around you to come back twice will make sure the old lady doesn't worry about her.

When the old lady was in good health a few years ago, she went to Kyoto to visit her daughter twice in person.

But in recent years, the old man has grown older and he really dares not to travel by boat or by train, for fear that his body cannot bear it.

So the old lady missed her daughter more and more, and the more she missed her daughter, the more she disliked her sister-in-law.

The Marquis's Mansion is not a small family without money, so why can't they come back to visit their relatives?

Speaking of which, the master also has some opinions.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have avoided visiting for so many years.

After all, people would probably look down on poor relatives like them.

But my sister is not that good, but I didn’t expect that my niece is so amazing. I really have to go and see her this time.

Of course he couldn't tell his wife the real reason, but he could find an excuse.

"I know you are just thinking about our mother. My sister has been spoiled since she was a child, and she does things without any rules.

But this time she personally invited us to go. She said she missed her family, and although she wanted to come back, the Marquis' Mansion didn't want to.

So I discussed with my father that I would go to see her and my nephews when I passed by Kyoto on my way north to collect grain."

Liu was very surprised to hear the master say this.

Oh, has his temper really changed?

Maybe it's because I'm getting older and I finally know how to behave in society?

“I was just about to tell you, my sister’s children have all grown up, and the eldest one is already in his early twenties.

It's a good opportunity to bring our Haoxuan along to meet him. And my sister said that we should see if we can find a way to send Brother Xuan to the Great Academy."

Hearing this, Liu immediately put aside her dissatisfaction.

"Can he really go to a big academy? You know how hard Haoxuan studies, but we are a merchant family, and even the great scholars are unwilling to teach him."

Speaking of it, Liu felt aggrieved. No one was willing to give her three thousand taels a year. This was really because they had implicated the child.

Although the eldest son also has a teacher, he is not a great scholar after all, and his vision cannot keep up.

My child will take the examination this year, and he must be on the list so that he can plan for his future.

"Don't worry, I'll ask someone."

Why does the Zhou family's eldest master think Liu Rumei is smart?

Because this child knows what the Zhou family needs most!

Not only did she promise him a prefectural position, she also said she would find a way to send her son to Qinglu Academy.

Everyone knows the status of Qinglu Academy. If he could really send his child there, he would naturally be extremely grateful.

My niece is so good at controlling people's hearts, it seems she has a plan for success.

"Great, then I'll quickly go pack my son's things! This child has never left me since he was young, and I really can't bear to let him go."

Liu said this and left without even looking at her husband.

The eldest master of the Zhou family was very helpless. Haha, now that he had a son, he had to sit behind.

Forget it, let's just let the mother and son talk. After all, we will be leaving soon.

In fact, the eldest master of the Zhou family was full of expectations. He really wanted to meet Liu Rumei. The last time he saw her, the child was only about seven or eight years old. She should be a grown-up girl now.

Zhou Haoxuan was also very surprised when he heard that he was going to Kyoto. Although he was puzzled, he knew that he should go out for a walk.

Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles, he still understands this truth.

Some of their classmates have traveled abroad and gained more knowledge.

But mother, please stop crying. If you continue crying, he really doesn’t know how to comfort you.

Zhou Haoxuan has an elegant face and good looks. He is wearing a snow-white long gown, which makes him look tall and slender. He is twenty-two years old and has a manly demeanor.

"Because of studying, you have delayed getting married until now. My son, you must do your best this time. When you come back, your mother will find you a wife."

Zhou Haoxuan was helpless, his mother was really persistent.

Why didn’t Zhou Haoxuan get married?

Of course it was because of the request of the Zhou family’s eldest master.

The Zhou family is a wealthy family, and Zhou Haoxuan is the son of a wealthy businessman, so he cannot marry a real lady from a famous family.

But ever since he passed the imperial examination, wives of officials began to inquire about him, after all, his son was good-looking and had plenty of money.

But the eldest master of the Zhou family had a more far-reaching plan. He wanted to wait until his son passed the imperial examination before taking any action.

By that time, marriage will be very easy and they can marry better daughters-in-law.

For this reason, he had very high expectations for Zhou Haoxuan, who was only focused on studying, not interested in worldly things, and didn't even have a maid.

Liu loved her children, but she didn't dare to go against her husband on this issue.

Therefore, she was the one who was most looking forward to Zhou Haoxuan's success and had long wanted her son to get married.

"Don't worry, mother. I will study hard and do my best in this year's imperial examination."

Liu was very satisfied, thinking that there would be no one to take care of her eldest son in Beijing, so she had to rely on the Liu family.

So even though he was not satisfied with his sister-in-law, he still prepared a lot of gifts.

In addition, she carefully selected a maid, two servants, and two boys to follow her.

Even though Manager Zheng was watching over her, she was still worried about her son traveling outside and trying not to learn bad things.

She wanted to prepare more, but the eldest master of the Zhou family was anxious and set off by boat on the third day.

Therefore, Liu could only wave her hand and watch her son and husband leave together. She felt really worried.

She just hoped that both father and son were safe.

……

Inside the harem, the gate to the central palace was closed.

The nanny in the Queen's Palace looked at today's dishes and couldn't help but frown.

Although the Queen was confined to the palace, the Imperial Kitchen actually dared to flatter the powerful and bully the weak. What a courage!

"The steward of the imperial kitchen should be replaced. How dare they mess up your meal!"

When Empress Lin heard the nanny say this, she just glanced at her with a normal expression.
