Zhulan was comforted to hear Zhou Laodi's words, at least it proved that Zhou Laodi was truly determined to temper himself. She wasn't disappointed by his final test, "I am glad you came to discuss this with me, but it's not feasible. The Zhao family's affairs may become even more complicated in the future, so you must come with us."
Especially since Zhou Shuren became the Prefect of Jinzhou and was involved with Pinggang, the scheming would only increase.
Zhou Laodi understood what his mother meant, staying together as a family with their father's protection in the Jinzhou Government Office, would make anyone with malicious intent think twice. But if he and Mrs. Zhao were in Chuanzhou Province, far from their parents, they would become the first targets if any issues arose.
Zhou Laodi said, "Mother, I will have Dongmo take care of the houses and shops in Chuanzhou right away."
