Everyone is very upset. Old Master Zhou is their mainstay, but this time he has to resign for Mr. Zhou Zhou. It makes people angry just thinking about it. It's all the fault of the fifth brother/fifth uncle.

"Okay, it's late, let's all go to bed." Old Master Zhou turned and left.

Several masters of the Zhou family looked at Master Zhou Si. Master Zhou Si didn't dare to say anything now. Everyone looked at him with very cold expressions. He quickly bowed and ran out.

He was afraid of being beaten if he didn't leave, and he was powerless to help his fifth brother.

Royal Palace

The emperor was also reading the memorials written by Li Shubai, because he had specifically instructed that any memorials from Li Shubai and others should be sent directly to the Imperial Study, and he would read them immediately.

"This Magistrate Zhou is such a scum. Having him as magistrate is a nightmare for the common people." The emperor threw the memorial on the table.

After a while, the emperor took the memorial to the queen's palace. When the queen found out, she asked the emperor to handle the matter impartially.

Anyway, she is not related to that Fifth Master of the Zhou family. He is the illegitimate son of her great aunt.

"Your Majesty, will the Zhou family be blamed for this? That Zhou Wuye has long since left the Zhou Mansion and moved on."

"Everyone is responsible for his own actions. I know the teachers and their characters. They definitely don't know these things."

The queen felt relieved when she heard what the emperor said, as long as the Zhou family would not be implicated.

As for the fifth master of the Zhou family, he actually had the courage to do such a heinous thing, so he must have the courage to bear the consequences.

At the morning court meeting the next day, before the emperor had time to take out the memorial written by Li Shubai, Old Master Zhou stepped forward and listed out the crimes committed by Zhou Zhizhou one by one.

He also presented the evidence and resigned from his post to the emperor.

Of course the emperor tried to persuade him to stay, "Teacher, you don't have to do this. This matter was done by him alone and has nothing to do with you.

There is nothing you can do about people's crooked hearts. He is not a child anymore and must take responsibility for his mistakes."

**

Zhou Zhizhou was still waiting for a letter from the capital, but unfortunately what he received was the news that he was expelled from the Zhou family.

Zhou Zhizhou shook his head in disbelief. "Impossible, impossible! Why would they do this to me!"

Only then did he realize that he was finished. Being expelled from the Zhou family meant that his official career was also over, and he might even end up in jail.

Zhou Zhizhou then started to panic and quickly asked people to prepare pen and ink as he wanted to write a letter back to the capital.

Inn

Liu Meihua was almost recovered, and Tianbao was helping her walk around the room, letting her move around freely.

"I'm fine now. When are we leaving?" She really wanted to see Xiao Ning now.

"Second sister-in-law, you stay here for two more days. We will leave the day after tomorrow."

"I'm really fine." Liu Meihua was afraid that she wouldn't believe it, so she turned around for her to see.

Tianbao smiled and supported her, "I know, I know that my second sister-in-law is already well, but don't you want to see Zhou Zhizhou fall and be arrested?"

Liu Meihua's eyes lit up. "Yes, I really want to. Then wait for two more days."

Li Jin and Li Yin had already taken Li Wan and Liu out shopping, and asked their three grandchildren to follow behind and help them carry things.

Yue Xin brought in the medicine, and Liu Meihua took it and drank it in big gulps while pinching her nose.

Tianbao took out a candy and stuffed it into her mouth. "Second sister-in-law, eat one."

"Mmm...that's sweet."

The imperial envoy sent from the capital arrived on the morning of the third day, carrying the emperor's edict.

The governor Zhou was asked to kneel outside the gate of the Zhou residence to announce the decree, and the people surrounded him to watch the fun.

Tianbao and the others are among them.

"By the providence of Heaven...Zhou Zhizhou has committed a lot of crimes in his years as an official...The evidence is irrefutable, and he is dismissed from his post...his property is confiscated, and he is brought to the capital for trial..."

"oh oh......"

"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor..."

"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor..."

Everyone cheered and then began to kneel down and kowtow. This shows how unpopular Zhou Zhizhou was as an official in Weizhou Prefecture.

Zhou Zhizhou knelt on the ground in a daze. He really didn't expect it to come to this. Why didn't the Zhou family protect him? Wasn't it because he was a bastard's son?

If it were the eldest brother or the second brother, they would definitely not give up easily.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhizhou's face was filled with jealousy and regret. He should have known not to provoke those people from the Li family.

"Dad... Dad, save me..." Miss Zhou was also brought here, and all the members of the Zhou family were to be brought to the capital.

Zhou Zhizhou got angry when he saw her. He stood up and ran over quickly, grabbed her collar and slapped her several times.

If she hadn't had friction with the Li family, he wouldn't have thrown those people into jail or tortured them.

Thinking of this, he slapped her a few more times. It was all her fault!

"Ah..." Miss Zhou lost several teeth due to being beaten.

Liu Meihua and Liu were very happy that these parasites had finally gotten their comeuppance.

Li Dachen and Li Zhanyu were laughing happily. They were happy to see them in trouble.

After all the Zhou family members were taken away, the imperial envoy came over.

"County Lady... Lord Li." He greeted the two of them.

They all knew the person who came, it was Wei Luosheng, the eldest son of Duke Wei.

"Prince Wei."

The two also greeted him, and Li Jin looked at him with a smile, "I didn't expect it was Prince Wei who came."

Then Li Jin began to introduce them, "This is Wei Shizi, the elder brother of Mengyao's future husband."

Li Wan and Liu and the others hurried to pay their respects, and the prince knew he was a high-ranking official as soon as he heard him.

Prince Wei smiled and stopped them, "You are my elders. If you don't mind, just call me Luo Sheng. We will be a family from now on."

Seeing his friendly attitude, Liu stopped being polite and asked him a lot of questions. When she found out that he was not married yet, she wanted to marry Xiao Ning to him.

He just happened to be Mengyao's sister-in-law, but he seemed a little old. Forget it. Xiaoning is too young and they are not a good match.

Prince Wei talked to Tianbao and Li Shubai for a while before leaving. He also had to bring Zhou Zhizhou and his family back to the capital as soon as possible to report.

As soon as Wei Luosheng left, Liu sighed with regret.

"What's wrong, mother? The Zhou family has been arrested. Why are you still sighing?" Li Yin asked.

Liu rolled her eyes at him and then looked at Li Shubai, "How old is he?"

Li Shubai was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect her to ask Wei Luoxuan's age. After thinking for a while, he said, "About twenty?"

"Mom...you don't want to match him up with Xiao Ning, do you? Although he is young and promising, but...he is a little old, right?" Li Yin was very upset.

My daughter has not been around for two years, and now I can finally go see her. Her mother is eager to find a husband for her.

Li Jin thought for a moment and said, "Prince Wei got married once before, but they divorced soon after. It was the woman's fault."

When Liu heard this, she immediately gave up the idea of ​​bringing him and Xiaoning together. No matter how outstanding he was, her Xiaoning could not be his second wife.
