In the evening, Zhou Shuren returned and saw the fruits on the table, his eyes brightened a bit, "Where did these come from?"
"Lin Qing went back to her parental home today, and the matron of the Lin family sent her back with them."
Zhou Shuren picked one up to eat, "Lin Qing must have gone back for her cousin."
"Yes."
"Did the Lin family not send any message back?"
Zhulan motioned for Shuren to change his clothes first, and followed him into the room, "No, that Mr. Ji is just a follower of the Second Prince, the Lin family doesn't take him seriously."
The Lin family, being noble and holding the position of Imperial Censor, has no fear of offending the Second Prince, especially with the Liu family being so well-behaved.
Zhou Shuren didn't dwell on it, saying, "The Emperor must be aware of this matter, and there will be a conclusion about the estate next year."
"I truly feel a bit reluctant."
Every bit of effort put into a few estates means a lot to her.
