In the ornately decorated main room, the lights are brightly lit at this time.When Zhou Haoran walked in, what he said was that his father, who was bedridden and seriously ill, was writing a post before the case. He looked a little tired, but he didn't look seriously ill.

"Father." Zhou Haoran said softly, bowing slightly.

Zhou Ming sensed his arrival, he didn't stop, and wrote like a snake, the writing on the paper was vigorous and forceful, and the handwriting penetrated the back of the paper, "Is the prince coming?"

"Yes, my father guessed very accurately."

"Hey." Zhou Ming sighed, and said, "I watched him grow up, don't you know? It's just impetuous, and he doesn't want to do things steadily." The prince must not be able to bear it, and secretly changed into casual clothes Sneaked out of the palace.

Zhou Haoran remained silent, quietly waiting aside.When his father complained about the prince, he was always listening, because the next moment, his father would tell him how to help the prince clean up the mess.The late Queen Zhou used to be the biggest backer of their Zhou family. Now that Queen Zhou is gone, the future glory of their Zhou family will all depend on the crown prince.

Like a grasshopper on a vine, if this common vine is broken, no one will be left alone.

However, Zhou Ming didn't say a word about how to deal with it this time. He put down his pen and said, leave everything to Zhou Haoran.

Zhou Haoran's heart, which had not fluctuated for a long time, gradually became rippling. His father was still old after all, and his heart was tired.He had left many things to himself before, but now, is he finally leaving everything behind?

Zhou Haoran hid all his emotions, nodded slightly, and replied: "Yes."

He doesn't show any emotion to everyone, including his cherished family members. After wearing the mask for a long time, it grows together with the flesh and can no longer be peeled off.

Zhou Ming looked at him fixedly, opened and closed his lips, and finally said: "Hao Ran, you have worked hard these years."

The eldest son has always been the most worry-free. He didn't cry or make trouble when he was a child, and he can calm down when he grows up.Even when he got married, he listened to the words of his family and married the daughter of the minister of the Ministry of War.Haoran thinks about everything for the Zhou family, but he doesn't think about anything for himself, unlike his brother...

Thinking of Zhou Cangran, apart from depression, Zhou Ming felt guilt and pity.Their mother died too early, Haoran was better, but Cang Ran was raised by a wet nurse since he was a child, and he didn't even know what his mother looked like.I spend too little time with their brothers, almost all the time, Haoran, who is only a few years older than his brother, is taking care of him.

He has always been strict with Cangran, since the kid from the Xu family is good at martial arts, he also let Zhou Cangran learn martial arts, and he is better than anyone else.Fortunately, Cang Ran is good at martial arts, and he doesn't get bored, otherwise, he would owe too much to his son.

Zhou Ming had mixed feelings in his heart, and a trace of guilt flickered in his cloudy eyes, and he asked again: "How is Cang Ran?" This son had the most trouble with him, and he hadn't been home for several years. He left home, but still never came to see him.

Zhou Haoran was stunned for a while because of his hard work, and when he continued, his expression returned to normal, and he said softly: "He is more stable than before, and he is also popular. He told me last time that he was thinking about your body. , just because you are afraid that you will have a headache after seeing him, so you dare not come here again."

After hearing his words, Zhou Ming remained silent for a long time, the words were choked in his throat, dry and difficult to say: "Let him come, come..."

In a family, how can anyone be like an enemy?He always felt that Zhou Cangran was disobedient to discipline, and never helped his prince cousin, so he often resorted to family law against him.But this kid was stubborn, no matter how hard he beat him, he would not make a sound, and even once, he was so angry that he almost broke his leg.But he was silent, without saying a word, limped out of the house in the middle of the night, and never came back after that.

After the beating, as a parent, there is no one who does not feel distressed.Although Zhou Ming was at home, facing upwards, and didn't give the second son a good face, he still told the eldest son to let him help his younger brother more in private.

Over the years, Zhou Ming has also seen clearly that his second son only thinks about defending his family and defending his country, and he is very tired of these battles between the court and China.He used to push him too much, forcing him to do things he was unwilling to do, and even feel ashamed...

I have committed a lot of crimes in my life, and there are too many things that I don't care about for the sake of wealth and power. If I don't want to go my own way, let him do it. With his family background and ability, he can naturally earn a name that will last forever. ...

His thoughts were chaotic and complicated, Zhou Ming paused, he almost forgot that the eldest son was still here.Everything is quiet and empty, the night is deep, it's time to rest.

He didn't speak for a long time, Zhou Haoran said in a low voice and went back first.The second before going out, he was called to stop.

Zhou Ming's voice was deep, like the wind and sand that had accumulated in the desert for a long time, every word and every word weighed on people's hearts, as heavy as Mount Tai.He finally made up his mind: "Hao Ran, don't worry about him, let him go,...let him break free, do whatever he wants, and the Zhou family will support him when the sky falls."

With my old bones and your big brother supporting him, he doesn't have to worry about anything.

Zhou Haoran stopped, lowered his head, and said, "Okay."
