章 974: Chapter 974 Ran Qi

Chang Lian watched his mother enter the room and felt a pang of regret inside. Ever since he had discovered how formidable his mother was, he had wanted to know just how capable she truly was. So, whenever the opportunity arose, he would test her, but unfortunately, her ability to play dumb was not at all inferior to his father's.

Chang Lian also didn't dare to push his mother too far, for if he truly angered her, his father would discipline him. Slowly turning to go back inside, he did not wish to go to the Hanlin Academy on an empty stomach.

At the Ran family residence, Ran Zheng only learned that morning that Zhou Shuren had met with an official from the Ministry of Justice. Having been in the tumultuous world of politics for many years, warmth flowed through his heart, "This marriage is indeed worth it."

Zhou Shuren did not avoid the matter, and even a mere inquiry was enough to set his mind at ease; at least Zhou Shuren was truly reliable.
