Zhou Shuren estimated the time, "Mr. Hou, this official must return to the Ministry of Revenue, there are many matters waiting for this official."
Marquis Ning said, "Very well."
Zhou Shuren left the tea house, coughing several times in a row, holding back laughter was too strenuous, but the matter of Rongchuan was finally settled, one less thing on his mind, he felt much lighter.
Back at the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren noted Mr. Qiu's hesitation, "Does the official have something to say?"
Qiu Yan's heart was in turmoil, Zhou Shuren might be part of the Crown Prince's faction, and with the Crown Prince currently under house arrest and the Emperor favoring the Second Prince, no one could fathom the Emperor's current intentions. He did not wish to be involved in the struggle for the throne; the Qiu family couldn't afford the fight, "Does Mr. Zhou have a close relationship with Marquis Ning?"
