Transmigration: The Evil Mother-In-Law Is Actually Innocent!

1040: Chapter 1040: The Skyrocketing Blaze 1040: Chapter 1040: The Skyrocketing Blaze Zhou Shuren’s carriage rode alongside the Crown Prince’s, with the curtains open, and the Crown Prince showed no intention of stopping.

The Crown Prince leaned against the carriage window, “Minister Zhou, are you returning home from the government office?”

Zhou Shuren’s mind, however, was occupied with thoughts of what the Crown Prince had been up to that day since he hadn’t seen him in the palace that afternoon, “Yes, I am going home.”

Upon hearing the word “home,” the Crown Prince knew that Zhou Shuren cared about his family and chuckled lightly, “Previously, it was quite common for ministers of the Ministry of Revenue to live in their offices.

Since Minister Zhou took up his post there, very few people have chosen to reside in the Ministry for an extended period.

Among The Six Ministries, both the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Rites have the tradition of leaving the office when the time comes.”

Feeling somewhat guilty, as if he had set the precedent, yet with confidence, Zhou Shuren claimed, “The Ministry of Revenue’s work efficiency is quite high.”

The Crown Prince smiled and just then, the carriage came to a halt, “Here I am.”

Zhou Shuren was startled, for upon the carriages drawing apart, he saw a mansion surrounded by soldiers.

This mansion was well-known throughout the capital, unlike the ruins of the Rong Residence, although in disrepair, its architecture was intact.

The Crown Prince had already alighted from the carriage, and Zhou Shuren craned his neck to look back.

The Crown Prince was conversing with a general of the National protection camp.

When they had moved off into the distance, Zhou Shuren drew his head back in.

This estate was the ancestral home of the Zhang family.

After the entire Zhang family had been executed, the property was seized.

After the establishment of the new dynasty, the family that took over died in the capital’s downfall.

Since the Emperor’s ascension to the throne, who would dare to claim or reside in this residence?
