In the evening, Zhou Shuren came home and mentioned the Zheng family, "I haven't seen the Zheng family for many years."
He could still see them in Lizhou Province in the past, but after he left, he never saw them again. The backup plan left by the Zheng family is still in his hands.
Zhulan said, "The Emperor mentioned that our two families have a good relationship. Is this to tell you that the royal family is well aware of the Zheng family's past?"
"The Retired Emperor used the Zheng family, so he must have investigated thoroughly, which is a pity."
Zhulan continued, "It's a pity the Zheng family didn't expect you to achieve what you have today. The Zheng family's backup plan is no longer useful."
"You can't say it's completely useless."
"If it was just the Zheng family, the royal family would have investigated, but since they're connected to you, the royal family trusts you but is more wary of the Zheng family."
