When the emperor heard the imperial doctor report that Zhou Zhan’s injuries were real, he was so angry that he had no choice but to deal with Zhou Zhan. He could not tie a disabled person to the front line and let him lead his troops, right? Should he go to war or to send heads to the enemy?

If Zhou Zhan was injured by one eye or one hand, he could still lead troops to fight if his legs were fine, but he was injured even with his legs and did not leave any way for the emperor. The emperor was so angry that he was so angry that he had no choice but to know that Zhou Zhan was most likely to do it on purpose. He just wanted to hold his breath and settle the score with him after winning the battle! This time he would not be deceived by Zhou Zhan, and he was merciful and ruthless...

During his recovery, Zhou Zhan lived a good life of good food and drink and carefree life. He was leisurely and leisurely reading books or playing chess with himself, and he was not worried about war at all.

An Nan asked him: "Why are you not worried at all? What if foreign enemies come all the way to the capital?"

"So what? This is not something that the injured person should worry about. Besides, the world belongs to the emperor, not to my family. If someone beats him to the capital, it is the emperor, not me." Zhou Zhan smiled gently and elegantly.

An Nan was shocked: "So you are not very loyal to this emperor?"

"Who will be loyal to someone who always wants to kill me? My life is precious. What kind of king wants his ministers to die and have to die? These nonsense are just fooling people. If the emperor is allowed to slaughter them like a pig or a dog, that would be really stupid." Zhou Zhan said sarcastically.

An Nan looked at him with admiration. It seemed that he was not afraid of imperial power. Just so happened that she was afraid of meeting a foolish and loyal husband. Even if she knew that the emperor wanted to kill her, she would be willing to kill him. Fortunately, Zhou Zhan was not such a person, so it would be fine if she had prepared the way out for herself that she had prepared for him.

A cheap husband with a clear mind is better than a foolish and loyal husband, at least he will not be able to hold back.

The attendant came in and reported that the second lady had come back to visit her injured father, and Zhou Zhan nodded and asked her to come in.

The second lady Zhou Minqi got her wish, but she did not become a wife, but a concubine. At that time, Prince An Guo’s original wife did die, but he renewed her wife’s sister, so she broke her promise to Zhou Minqi. But his stepwife was a virtuous and generous person. Knowing that her husband liked Zhou Minqi, he specially sent a matchmaker to come to his house to take Zhou Minqi as his precious concubine.

Zhou Minqi boasted that Prince Anguo would come to propose marriage to her, but she didn't expect that she would just wait for the news of taking a concubine, and was embarrassed and got stuck. Regardless of the advice of the third concubine and An Nan, she insisted on marrying Prince Anguo and regaining her glory. She believed that she was the prince's true love...

Seeing that she refused to listen to advice and tried to die, An Nan agreed, so Zhou Minqi became a concubine and was carried into the Duke's Mansion by a sedan chair.

I heard from the third concubine occasionally that her life in the Duke's Mansion was very difficult. She not only had to fight with her wife, but also competed for favor with her concubines before the prince. She had never seen such a fierce and cruel competition in the Zhou Mansion, so she suffered several losses.

This time she finally begged the prince to go back to her parents' home, saying that she was visiting her father's injuries, but in fact she just wanted to come back and ask for some help.

"Father!" Zhou Minqi rushed to Zhou Zhan as soon as she came in, holding a handkerchief and pressing her eyes. She looked at Zhou Zhan's tightly wrapped wound sadly and distressedly, and said sadly, "Father suffers! My daughter is useless and cannot share the pain for her father... I hope my father will take care of his health and not let us children worry..."

An Nan was watching her show and expressed her love for Zhou Zhan. Her admiration almost made her goose bumps fall out. The father and daughter met twice a year, and they didn't say anything to each other. What kind of true feelings can they have? Zhou Minqi probably stayed in the back house of Prince Anguo for a long time, and learned how to calculate and use everything around her to achieve her goals.

Zhou Zhan gently patted Zhou Minqi on the shoulder and comforted her gently and kindly, "You are willing to come back to see me, but don't worry too much, I'll just take care of this injury."

The father and daughter said a few more words, and Zhou Minqi implied that she was not doing well in the Duke's Mansion and was bullied because no one supported her. Zhou Zhan pretended not to understand and did not ask about her life in depth, but only said some irrelevant words.

An Nan listened to the hypocritical conversation between them and laughed out loud. He was worthy of being a father and daughter, and both had the talent for acting.

Zhou Minqi fell to the tragic point of being jealous of a group of women for a man and being bullied. An Nan did not sympathize with her at all. This was all her own choice, and it was too late to regret it. She had to swallow all the bitter fruits by herself, and no one could help her.

Compared to her, her sister Zhou Minshu lived a very good life. The second year she married Zhang Juren, Zhang Juren was admitted to the Jinshi and entered the Hanlin Academy to become a small official. After a few years, she was transferred to another place to be a county magistrate and could climb up step by step with a bright future.

Zhou Minshu is a quiet and gentle person. She is harmonious with her husband, and the couple supports each other. I don’t know how comfortable life is. Seeing her sister’s good life, I wonder if Zhou Minqi has ever regretted it?

The hypocritical father and daughter finally ended the meeting, but Zhou Minqi got nothing and went back in extreme disappointment. However, Zhou Zhan seemed to have not seen his daughter crying and wanting to speak but stopping. It seemed that she was also a cold-hearted person.

"Aren't you going to support her?" An Nan asked.

"I live my life by myself. I can help her for a while, but I can't help her for a lifetime." Zhou Zhan sighed.

Even if her own father doesn't care about it, An Nan won't care about it. Anyway, she has done her duty as a mistress, so Zhou Minqi will ask for more blessings in the future.

"Since you are coming home, I have free time to go to Qinghai City to inspect the industry." An Nan said inadvertently. In fact, she wanted to go to Qinghaicheng to see the secret sea base she built. She had to see some things before she could make appropriate improvements.

After hearing this, Zhou Zhan looked at her with a smile and said, "Why didn't I know that Qinghai City has your property?"

An Nan's heart was shocked. Could it be that this person could see something? After knowing that Zhou Zhan is not a fool, An Nan dared not underestimate him.

She had to pretend to be stupid: "I think the new industry I bought was very good. I can earn a lot of money when I bought it."

"Mrs. All my property has been purchased overseas, which really makes me admire you." Zhou Zhanyun smiled lightly.

An Nan's eyes suddenly widened. It turned out that she had not hidden anything from this man. Forget it, just know it. She sighed and said, "Since you know everything, I will just say it. I want to go and see the newly built seaships and newly trained seamen. If I have the chance in the future, I will go to sea myself."

Zhou Zhan was surprised when he heard An Nan's last words: "It turns out that the wife has such ambition? She can't fall behind as a husband. She has to go overseas to see her, otherwise her vision will not be as good as that of her wife."
