Zhou Shuren felt unbearably hot, "Water."
Zhulan hurried to pour water for Zhou Shuren, "Hey, don't rush, drink slowly."
Zhou Shuren snatched it and downed it in one gulp, "More."
Zhulan poured two more cups, and Zhou Shuren finally felt much better, but his head was still dizzy. He grasped Zhulan's hand, "I have something to tell you."
"You say."
Zhulan's voice was somewhat light; she thought of the gold list and her naming ceremony, then coughed coughed, her face heating up.
Zhou Shuren belched, "I got schemed by the Emperor and lost the house in Pinggang, all three houses are gone."
Zhulan, "....."
She felt like hitting someone!
Zhou Shuren chuckled, "However, the Emperor also said he'd reward us with a house, a three-entry courtyard, in an especially good location, complete with a small garden and a pond, and beautiful sceneries all four seasons."
Zhulan's budding thoughts vanished, and she excitedly said, "Really?"
Were her daytime dreams coming true?
