Chang Lian and Rongchuan held their wine glasses, with Chang Lian speaking first, "Thank you, Mother."
Rongchuan followed, "Aunt, you have worked hard over these years."
Zhulan drank the wine in her glass happily, for tomorrow Rongchuan and Chang Lian were to take office. The alcohol content wasn't high, so Zhulan drank several glasses without issue.
While the Zhou family in the capital ate joyfully, the Zhou family in Jinzhou Province, particularly the main branch, was far from happy.
Lady Li held a discipline ruler with one hand propping on the table, sweating profusely, "You little rascal, stop right there for your mother."
Ming Teng looked at the discipline ruler and gulped, "Mother, when did you have this ruler made? No, no, that's not right. Aren't you supposed to slap me? Why the change this time?"
