The general's wife is too naughty, she starts to flirt with him

Chapter 717 Zhou Family’s Consciousness

The Zhou family only found out what had happened in the palace when the little prince was having his third birthday.

After sending away the eunuch who came to reprimand him, Zhou Yuankang almost couldn't stand still.

He knew and acquiesced that his family had sent someone to the palace, but he never expected that things would turn out like this.

Zhou Mao looked at Mr. Zhou who was obviously devastated, and felt a myriad of emotions in his heart that he couldn't express in words.

Ever since his father and mother were forcibly taken back to their hometown, Zhou Mao moved directly to the Zhou family's old house at the instruction of Grandpa Zhou.

Therefore, he was also one of those who listened to today's rebuke.

Now that the Zhou family has returned to the spotlight, there is naturally no need to avoid things that everyone knows.

"Grandfather, His Majesty only reprimanded the Zhou family for this matter and did not impose any other punishments. This is a good thing."

After seeing off the other obviously panicked family members of the Zhou family, Zhou Mao followed Zhou Yuankang directly to the study.

Zhou Mao thought for a long time and decided to say what was on his mind.

"Your Majesty is very kind to the Queen and has summoned my grandfather back to the court. This is naturally to support the Queen and the little prince."

The Zhou family had retreated for the good of the Empress and the Zhou family. Now they were returning to the court for the good of the Empress and the Zhou family.

"Now the eyes of the entire court are on the Zhou family, and I'm afraid that your majesty is the same. Now that something like this has happened, it's like the Zhou family has taken the initiative to hand over a handle."

Zhou Yuankang looked at the young man in front of him, frowned and said, "Go on."

"Mother Zhang was sent in by the Zhou family, so if something goes wrong, the Zhou family will naturally be held responsible. What Mother Zhang did, whether intentional or unintentional, is an unforgivable crime. Logically speaking, our Zhou family must be implicated. Even if the entire family is not convicted, there will definitely be more than just a light reprimand like today."

"But now they only sentenced Granny Zhang to death, and reprimanded the Zhou family. Perhaps this is the situation Your Majesty wants to see now."

Zhou Mao looked at Zhou Yuankang's eyes which gradually brightened and knew that his words had been heard.

"The Empress and the little prince are now in the emperor's good graces, and it looks like it will remain so for a long time to come. The Zhou family is the Empress's family, so naturally, they will rise with the tide. When the water is full, it overflows; when the moon waxes, it wanes."

"Back then, the reason for giving up everything and leaving the capital was similar. However, the Zhou family had no weaknesses at that time. But things are different now. In the eyes of His Majesty, the matter of Granny Zhang is a very useful handle."

"If the Zhou family is honest, has no intention of disloyalty, and tries their best to serve Your Majesty, then the final result will be a reprimand. But if someone in the Zhou family has any inappropriate thoughts, then today's reprimand can become a sharp knife at any time."

Now that the words were made so clear, Zhou Yuankang actually felt a little relieved towards Zhou Mao, a descendant whom the Zhou family had originally ignored.

The descendants of the Zhou family are not always as stupid as their father.

"You are right. We in the Zhou family must be more careful in what we say and do in the future and must not make any mistakes."

Because of Grandma Zhang’s incident, the entire Zhou family conducted a thorough self-examination.

Believe it or not, I actually found a few frivolous and brainless ones.

Zhou Yuankang immediately made a decisive move and packed up all the people and sent them back to his hometown.

He also warned everyone in the Zhou family that if they dared to do anything inappropriate again, they would be expelled from the family and would not be tolerated.
