Zhou Jia glanced at the two brothers standing at the side. “Sir, let’s talk about it when he wakes up.”

Mr. Wen nodded. “Alright, when your father wakes up, the grudges of the older generation will be settled within the older generation!”

The Zhou brothers stood there for a long time, but no one greeted them. They really couldn’t stand it anymore. They dragged a bench and sat on it in a daze.

When the sky turned dark, Zhou Yu was worried about Madam Huang, who was at home alone. He reminded Zhou Xin a few times and went back to take care of Madam Huang. Zhou Xin shrank his neck and sat on the stool. He did not dare to leave and gradually dozed off.

In Old Master Zhou’s room, Zhou Jia leaned back in his chair and fell asleep. A cool breeze blew outside the house, and it started to drizzle. The autumn rain was cold. After autumn, the sky gradually turned cold.

Not long after midnight, Old Master Zhou opened his eyes. In a daze, he turned around and saw Zhou Jia sleeping soundly on the back of the chair. He smiled and thought about how he had lived for most of his life. It seemed that he had only lived for half a year.

Old Master Zhou looked at Zhou Jia quietly for a while before shouting, “Jiahe, go to bed and sleep. You won’t feel comfortable sleeping like that.”

Zhou Jia suddenly woke up. Seeing Old Master Zhou looking at him with his turbid eyes, he leaned over and said, “You’re awake! Are you feeling unwell? I’ll call Sir to take a look at you.”

“I’m fine. My head just hurts a little. I’ll be fine after some sleep. Go! Go to sleep.”

Zhao Cai, who was leaning against the cold couch outside the room, heard voices coming from inside. He jumped down from the cold couch in surprise and entered the house. Seeing that Old Master Zhou had indeed woken up, he said, “Ha! Master, you can rest assured now! Old Master is indeed lucky. He woke up just after midnight.”

Old Master Zhou smiled proudly. “Of course I’m lucky.”

Zhou Xin, who was outside the house, also heard the commotion in the house.

He ran to the door and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Old Master Zhou was awake. It was good that he was awake. “If the old man didn’t wake up, that bastard would definitely send me to see the officials.”

“Brat, how dare you come over?” When Old Master Zhou saw Zhou Xin at the door, he grabbed the fire sickle by the bed and threw it over.

When Zhou Jia saw him like this, he knew that he was fine. He stood up and said to him, “Rest well. I’ll go sleep for a while.”

“Go! You still have to go to court later!” Old Master Zhou looked at Zhou Jia and said.

Zhou Jia walked out of the house and saw Zhou Xin curled up on the cold couch. Seeing Zhou Jia standing in front of the cold couch, Zhou Xin looked at him provocatively. “The old man is fine. You better let me go tomorrow morning.

Otherwise, I’ll go to the government office to sue you.”

Zhou Jia suddenly reached out and grabbed his shoulder. He said sinisterly in his ear, “You’d better be honest. If I find out that you are here to cause trouble again, I’ll get someone to send you to the salt field and work until the day you die. If you don’t believe me, let’s try.”

Zhou Xin’s eyes widened as he looked at Zhou Jia in fear. He knew very well that he was capable of doing what he threatened. It was precisely because of this that he was so frightened that he trembled and lost his arrogance.

Zhou Jia let go and ignored him. He walked to the eaves of the porch and looked at the rain and fog.

Mr. Wen had also woken up. Seeing that Old Master Zhou had woken up, he smiled in relief. “Good people don’t live long. Bad people bring about thousand years of disaster. The ancient people are right.”

Old Master Zhou smiled proudly. “Hehe! I heard Yang’er say that he wanted to tell me what the palace is like. How can I not wake up? I still have to wait for Yang’er’s blessings!”

Zhou Jia looked at the Old Master in surprise and muttered to himself, “Did he hear what I said? Could it be that he was pretending to be unconscious? On second thought, he can’t hide from Sir’s medical skills!”

When Zhou Jia went to court, the gray rain was still getting heavier. Zhao Cai sent Zhou Jia to the door with an oil-paper umbrella and sent him to the car.

Zhou Jia went home and told Li Yu that Old Master Zhou had woken up.

“I was really worried that he wouldn’t wake up. I’ll wake Yang’er up. Go wash up and enter the palace together!”

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu’s tired expression. “Alright, the rain is getting heavier. Don’t cultivate anymore. Sleep well for a while.”

“Yes!” Li Yu handed him his court clothes before heading to Yangyang’s room next door. Looking at the rainy and misty sky, her heart ached that the child had to get up so early to enter the palace.

When she entered the room, she looked at Yangyang, who was sleeping soundly with her stomach propped up. She called out softly, “Yang’er, Uncle is awake. Your father is also back. Hurry up and get up to eat and enter the palace.”

Yangyang rubbed his eyes and sat up. She leaned against Li Yu sleepily. “Mother, did Uncle wake up?”

Li Yu kissed him and placed the clothes beside him. “Yes! We’ll visit him when you come out of the palace.”

Yangyang nodded. The father and son ate and left together.

In Duke Fu’s residence, Granny Du saw that Yu Yan had gone to the guest room and began to tidy up the bed. She looked around on the carved bed but did not find the small jar Yu Yan had brought back. Hearing Yu Yan pull her shoes out of the guest room, she hurriedly tidied the bed and stood at the side.

Yu Yan came out of the guest room. Granny Du handed her a handkerchief and said to her, “County Princess Consort, Heir Lord, and Heir-Consort have already come to pay their respects.”

“It’s fine as long as the Royal Prince sees them. I shouldn’t go out and make people dislike me!” Yu Yan said casually.

Granny Du smiled and glanced at Yu Yan. “Princess Consort, I heard that the Heir Lord and the Heir-Consort are saying that the Royal Prince looks much younger. They even asked what immortal pills the Royal Prince has taken.”

Yu Yan’s heart skipped a beat. This was a good thing! If they also started eating Immortal Pills, she would get even more dividends.

“Did they really say that?” Yu Yan stared at Granny Du.

Granny Du said fearfully, “How would I dare to lie? If you don’t believe me, ask them. The Heir-Consort even praised you for serving people!”

“Don’t be afraid. I didn’t say that you were lying to me. I’ll get you some Immortal Pills. Take them to the Heir-Consort and tell her that these are pills concocted by an old immortal to strengthen the body and extend life. Let her try them. If she feels good after eating them, I’ll help her ask my aunt to buy them.”

Granny Du did not expect to obtain the medicinal pill so easily. She suppressed her excitement and kept praising Yu Yan. “I’m lucky to be able to serve you. You’re so magnanimous. The Prince Consort and the Madams treated you like that, but you still disregarded the past and gave them the immortal pills.”

Yu Yan thought proudly that it was for the sake of the silver, or she wouldn’t have bothered with them. She glanced at Granny Du and took out pills from the secret compartment of the dressing table. She poured out more than ten pills.

“Alright, take these to them!”

Granny Du took the pills and walked happily to the Heir-Consort’s courtyard with an umbrella. She handed the pill to Granny Xu. “Granny Xu, please receive these.”

Granny Xu took the pill and was a little surprised.. “You’re quite fast! You didn’t give yourself away, did you?”
