Chapter 388
Jiang Ci cooperated with the new emperor internally and externally, except for the regent, he was regarded as a meritorious minister and also a member of his own family, so Lu Zhan promoted him as the young minister of Honglu Temple.

After Jiang Ci got an official position, he bought a larger house and moved here together with Zhen Zhenzhu and his two nephews.

Zhen Zhenzhu is now pregnant, but Jiang Ci stays with Zhen Zhenzhu at home whenever she rests and takes a bath.

Today happened to be the time for Jiang Ci to take a rest.

Seeing the new emperor and Zhen Baozhu coming, Jiang Ci and Zhen Zhenzhu invited them into the main room.

Although Jiang Ci and the new emperor knew each other in the early days and had a relationship with Zhen Baozhu, but today is not what it used to be. Jiang Ci is a person who attaches great importance to the way of monarch and ministers.

Zhen Baozhu asked Zhen Zhenzhu to sit down, "Sister is pregnant now, so there is no need to use so much nonsense in front of my family."

The baby in Zhen Zhenzhu's womb has been more than six months old and is very heavy.

Zhen Zhenzhu smiled gently, "Your brother-in-law is always afraid that I will be tired, so he won't let me do anything. I think I'm going to have something wrong with sitting."

She took advantage of the opportunity to sit next to Zhen Baozhu and looked at Zhen Baozhu, "Since you entered the palace, we sisters haven't seen each other for a long time. Since you came here today, let's catch up on the old days."

Zhen Baozhu was very careful about Elder Sister. She touched Elder Sister's lower abdomen carefully, and felt a slight beating in her lower abdomen, which was very miraculous.

"It won't be long before Jiaojiao will have company." Zhen Baozhu felt apologetic, "I'm here today because I have something to do, so I probably won't be able to accompany Sister."

Zhen Zhenzhu felt a little regretful, "It's nothing important, just look for opportunities in the future."

Zhen Baozhu pointed at Sheng Jiaojiao, "Please, sister, take care of Jiaojiao for me."

"Jiaojiao, do you want to play with my cousin?" Jiang Zixuan and Jiang Ziche are now 13 years old.

Zhen Zhenzhu would occasionally take Jiang Zixuan and Jiang Ziche to Xiehou's Mansion, and Chu Jiaojiao was acquainted, she was young but had an excellent memory, so she remembered this brother and sister.

Chu Jiaojiao nodded immediately when she saw the Jiang Ziche siblings who looked very similar.

After Zhen Baozhu comforted Chu Jiaojiao, she went out with Lu Zhan, "Sister, wait for me, I'll come back later at night and you can talk privately."

Zhen Zhenzhu smiled and said, "Okay."

Lu Zhan and Zhen Baozhu came to Du's house. The Du's family was very poor.

After Lu Zhan came in, he took the initiative to introduce: "Auntie, I am Brother Du's classmate. Si Ye ordered him to do some things today, so he may come back later. Brother Du asked me to talk to Auntie."

Du's mother looks old. She has given birth to three children. She is not bloated, but very thin. It's just that her skin is very rough. She looks like a person in her 60s or [-]s.

Mother Du hurriedly said: "Thank you so much, young master. Please sit down quickly, young master. I'll pour you a glass of sugar water."

Poor people cannot afford tea, and it is best to drink a cup of sugar water.

Lu Zhan didn't feel disgusted at all, and sat down with Zhen Baozhu.

Although the room was very simple and the chairs were not very clean, Lu Zhan and Zhen Baozhu didn't care about these small details. After all, they came here today to talk.

"Auntie, you're being polite." Lu Zhan said, "I've never been to Brother Du's house before, so I don't know that Brother Du's family is so poor. You can't tell from Brother Du's usual clothes."

The clothes Du Zijing is wearing today are worth five taels of silver.

Speaking of this, Mother Du's face was full of bitterness.

"This kid has a good face, but his family is poor, so he can't live up to his squandering."

Lu Zhan also said: "But brother Du also has real skills. He is good at studying and has good martial arts. I think he will be able to go to high school in the future, and then it will be time for my aunt to enjoy her blessings."

"It's true that he's smart. It's also because this kid has a good foundation. We don't want to waste him. We spend all the money we earn on him."

"His father used to be a carpenter, and he can be regarded as a craftsman. At that time, the family didn't say he was rich, but he was fine. He learned martial arts at that time."

"It's a pity that the heavens have a disaster, hey, let's not talk about it."

"Bauhinia is very talented, but he suffered a lot of grievances with us, little brother, since you are his classmate, take care of him more in the future."

Lu Zhan said, "Of course."

He got up and said, "It's getting late, so I'll go back first."

Mother Du hurriedly said: "I haven't had any sugar water yet, little brother finally came here, why don't you even drink a sip of sugar water?"

Lu Zhan was disrespectful and left after drinking sugar water.

After leaving Du's house, Zhen Baozhu stepped forward and said, "Brother Zhan, do you notice any difference?"

Lu Zhan said: "Everything in the Du family has been prepared long ago. It is an ordinary poor family. There is no doubt about it."

"Mother Du looked like an ordinary peasant woman, but today's trip was a little smoother."

Zhen Baozhu said: "I also think so. Most people are always wary of strangers. Naturally, it can also be said that this Mother Du is naturally trustworthy."

"We said we came here to talk, but Brother Zhan only asked a few words from the beginning to the end, and Du's mother told all about the family situation. Although it was exactly the same as what Du Zijing said, I always felt that something was wrong."

"It's like it's been prepared a long time ago."

Lu Zhan nodded to express his approval. After returning to the palace, Lu Zhan arranged for people to guard around Du's house.

Du Zijing was imprisoned for half a month before being released back to the Du Mansion.

At this time, Du's mother already knew that Du Zijing was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and chasing Du Zijing was a one-shot fight.

Although Du Zijing was a young man and was proficient in martial arts, but because he was severely tortured in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, his legs and feet were not so good at the moment, so he did not escape.

The two elder brothers of the Du family hurriedly stood in front of Du Zijing, and Du's mother was so angry that she beat the eldest and second elder brothers of the Du family.

After returning to the house, Mother Du's face was cold and calm. Although she still had the same shriveled skin, she actually showed a bit of shrewdness.

Du Zijing knelt down in front of Du's mother obediently.

"Are you aware of your mistake?" Mother Du asked coldly.

Du Zijing stretched out her right hand.

Mother Du took out her ruler and slapped Du Zijing's hand several times.

"I told you not to act rashly and wait for news from the queen, but you just don't listen."

Du Zijing was a little unconvinced, "I've been waiting for Yue'er for so long, but Yue'er hasn't made any progress. I'm a little anxious. I've been incognito with my mother for so many years, and I can't wait."

The boy's face was half-lit and half-dark.

"And then, you startled the snake, do you know?" Mother Du sneered, "Do you think you have such a good skin, anyone will be fascinated by you, naive?"

Although Du Zijing was still leaning against the ruler, she could tell with a stalk on her neck: "The empress is a noble daughter of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Such a stunning beauty is devoted to me. It is only a matter of time before Zhen Baozhu is conquered."

"Mother, as long as I win Zhen Baozhu's heart and induce Zhen Baozhu to kill the emperor, there will be no one in the world. I am the son of the deposed prince, and the brothers above me are mediocre and incompetent. The most important thing is that father loves mother deeply." , I rule the world. It is logical. At that time, my mother will be respected as the queen mother, and my mother will listen to the government behind the curtain. I will recall the old people of the Song Dynasty for my own use. This world will be the world under the joint rule of the Song family and the Lu family. Achieved?"
