Zhou Leping was startled and stared into his eyes, "I'm not in the mood to joke with you."

Zhu Guanliang looked back at her seriously.

She looked as serious as ever, but the words that came out were .. Not serious.

The atmosphere suddenly turned awkward.

"Is the general serious?"

Zhou Leping heaved a sigh of relief, "Don't make such a joke in the future, it's not funny at all."

The smile on his face was quickly wiped away as the two of them sat opposite each other in silence. They were speechless all the way home.

The first thing Zhou Leping did after returning was to quickly change out of his clothes, find a place to hang them, and even put them in a separate place. According to Qu Tan's explanation, he would just need to bring another incense table for himself.

Just from the few times that Zhou Leping had been injured, the way the female imperial physician had applied the medicine was countless times lighter than Zhu Guanliang's. Although it was still painful during the process, it was not unbearable.

The second day after she returned from the palace, an unexpected guest came to the General's Estate. The gatekeeper carefully invited the person in and sat them down in the front hall, then went to invite Zhou Leqi.

Qu Tan glanced inside the hall as he passed by, and when he returned, he said to Zhou Leping in panic, "General, it's not good, Lin Guobang is here."

Since she had returned to the capital, this was the first time Lin Jing had stepped through her General's Estate gate.

She straightened her back and moved her legs out of the bed, "Go and get someone to prepare some tea. If there's a guest, you can't just ignore them."

Qu Tan was baffled, "What kind of guest is he? It's all because he hurt the general to this extent, I'm not going."

"The person who came was a guest. We can't let him get a handle on us again and say that we didn't treat our guests properly, right?" She spread out her arms, and Qu Tan went forward to help her change her clothes. He then heard her speak, "Furthermore, this person might not be here to find trouble with me, maybe he's here to see me?"

Although Qu Tan did not believe her, but he felt that what she said was reasonable. After helping her change her clothes, he went out to entertain the guests.

She stood there with her head held high and chest out, and asked with a deep voice, "Have you finished taking care of Madam Wang's corpse?"

Qi Miao said, "I have already followed your instructions and laid down the grave."

Qi Si continued, "The person at the Ministry of Justice side said that they still need to ask Zhou Zheng about some more details, and will only release him after they have asked everything clearly."

"Alright, you two keep an eye on this matter. Oh right, where is Xiao Wan?"

Qi Miao pointed in the direction of Zhu Guanliang's residence, "I haven't told her about Madam Wang yet, I'm still having fun with her."

Zhou Leping sighed, "I'll tell her about it later."

Qi Miao squinted in the direction of the front hall and said, "I just saw Lin Jing coming over, what is he doing here right now?"

"I don't know." Her back straightened even more. "We'll know once we go and take a look."

Lin Jing was the person at the top of Zhou Leqi's head. All these years, because of his body, he had also possessed a character that neither fought nor fought for, and after becoming the assistant minister, he had never ascended again, so there was naturally no lack of suppression from Lin Jing. However, Zhou Leqi did not really care, and after seeing him in the past, he was still very respectful.

Zhou Leping had arrived late, and sent a smiling face to him first. then walked to sit opposite of him, "Since you are injured, you shall not pay respects to the Lord Secretary of the Nation."

Lin Jing took a sip of the tea, and said with a smile that he was fine, "I came here today to see the general. After all, he had received a whip, his old wounds were healed, and he had received a new set of injuries. Yesterday, he was supported out of the palace by someone else, and today, he was able to move freely.

She answered with a smile, "Naturally, it's better than Lin Shan."

He clapped his hands, and a few people came in while carrying gifts, "These are all for the General. The matter yesterday, I investigated thoroughly and almost slandered the General.

Yesterday, he had wanted to kill her so much that he came today to apologize and apologize to her. This did not seem like Lin Jing's way at all, he had always wanted nothing more than to die.

Zhou Leping looked at the pile of items, and his brows knitted a little, "The Reverend is speaking very seriously, after all, the Master is doing business, all of this is for the Emperor's sake, I can understand, the Master is already flattering me by coming to see me today, this gift .. You don't need to accept it, right? "

Lin Jing stood up, "I think it's better if I accept it. If the general doesn't accept it, could it be that he's still resenting me for yesterday's matter?"

Hate, how could he not hate?

Zhou Leping smiled, "That won't do, it's all for the emperor, all for the peace and stability of the nation, I really can't accept this gift, please take it back, Sky Sovereign."

"It doesn't matter if the general accepts it or not, it is no longer mine. If you don't want it, you can just throw it away after I leave."

Lin Jing left his things and walked towards the door in large strides, "There's no need to send me off."

After he left, Zhou Leping immediately retracted the smile on his face, and became serious and deep, "Brother, what do you think Lin Jing came here for?"

Zhou Leqi shook his head, "Although I am working under him, I do not know much about him. I do not know what he is thinking, but there is no way I am here to apologize, is he here to investigate you?"

Zhou Leping shook his head: "What do I have to investigate, do I have other plans from what he has to say?"

Chang Feng rubbed his hands together and stood at the side, eager to give it a try, "General, Master, do you want to open it?"

"Open it up and take a look." Zhou Leping stared at the burden on his shoulders, his eyebrows knitted again, "I want to see what's on my hands."

Chang Feng called for another servant, and the two of them opened the gift. Actually, it was not that strange, it was just some supplementary medicine, but Zhou Leping was still worried.

For the past few days, she didn't need to attend to court affairs, and her time was free. She finally had the time to busy herself with the matters in the shop, so she didn't feel bored reading the accounts at home.

Zhou Zheng was locked up for another two days. After calculating the time, Zhou Leping should be back soon, so he asked Qi Si to go and take a look at bringing back. Xiao Wan no longer had a mother, so his father would always stay by his side.

Qi Si followed the order and went forward to bring the person back, but the person that came back was a dead person.

Zhou Zheng could not accept the death of the Madam Wang. After explaining the entire situation, Zhou Zheng finally could not hold back his grief and self-inflicted death in the Sky Prison.

Before he died, he even left a blood seal for Zhou Leping, to the effect that he was a coward, and brought about a lot of trouble for her. He felt extremely guilty, and the thing that he owed the most in his life was his wife, Madam Wang, and if Madam Wang died, he wouldn't be able to live on.
