The Zhou family received much attention; Chang Zhi had already been invited to drink by many, trying to take the opportunity to glean information.
Zhulan looked at her unhappy youngest son, "This is a transfer, it's good for your brother Wu Ming, you should be happy for him."
Actually, Wu Ming being reassigned to the farthest south was beyond both her and Zhou Shuren's expectations; they had underestimated Wu Ming's standing in the Emperor's heart.
Chang Zhi sulked, "When can brother Wu Ming come back?"
Zhulan, "It won't be too long."
