Emperor Wende's expression was uncertain. He glanced at Lin Zhixue and said in a deep voice:

"Lord Lin, please investigate this thoroughly for me! I want to find out who is causing trouble right under my nose!"

After Emperor Wende finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked away. Jiang Debao quickly announced that he would leave the court and trotted after him!

Lin Zhixue's mind went blank after hearing Emperor Wende's order. If he didn't handle this matter well, the emperor would kill him! If he did it well, all the officials would kill him!

No matter how he thinks about it, it's a dead end!

When the civil and military officials saw Emperor Wende leave, they all snorted coldly at Lin Zhixue and also flicked their sleeves and left!

Since Lin Zhixue entered the court as an official, he had been relying on the powerful support of Yang Chenghou. He had never suffered such an injustice as today. He was so angry that he was shaking all over but had to endure it. His face became extremely ugly for a moment.

Lin Zhixue didn't dare to confront Li Jinlin in the palace about what he was up to today, so he had to hurriedly follow Yang Chenghou away.

I want to find my father-in-law and have some serious discussions with him.

The play was over at this time. Wei Wenyi and Li Jinlin watched Xie Tingzhou leave and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that their master would be satisfied this time...

No matter what was going on in the palace, Gu Yiyao was currently choosing gifts from the shelf in her space.

Gu Yingxue just proposed to pay a visit to Mr. Xie and Mrs. Xie.

She had never visited him before because she felt that she would no longer have anything to do with Xie Tingzhou after she left, and with her status, she was not worthy of disturbing such an important person.

But now she has inexplicably become Xie Tingzhou's wife, although the wedding date is set for next month.

But she was already Xie Tingzhou's definite wife, and since she lived in the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion, it would be impolite not to pay her a visit.

The most important thing is that Gu Yingxue wants to leave the Marquis' Mansion as soon as possible. The reason why she came to the Marquis' Mansion before was that she always had a gut feeling that it would be safe to stay with Xie Tingzhou.

She followed here because she didn't want anything to happen to her daughter and son.

She had never thought of having a further relationship with Xie Tingzhou, but now she had inexplicably become Xie Tingzhou's wife, which was really embarrassing. She should leave as soon as possible and ask her father for help!

After much deliberation, Gu Yiyao chose a bottle of health-preserving pills she had made for Mr. Xie.

For a general like him who has been fighting in battles all year round, this health-preserving elixir that can cure hidden diseases and prolong life is most suitable for him!

I chose a bottle of Nine Flowers Jade Dew Pill for Madam Xie. After taking it, it can replenish the mind, strengthen the body and prolong life. It is most suitable for an old lady like her!

After making her selection, Gu Yiyao took the two porcelain bottles and left the space to find Gu Yingxue, intending to meet up with her first and then go to pay a visit to Old Madam Xie and Old Grandpa Xie!

On the table in the inner room of Shouxi Hall stood a purple gold incense burner carved with exquisite lotus patterns, and the finely calcined charcoal was mixed with a faint hint of sandalwood.

The floor was covered with a velvet carpet with five bats offering longevity, and on the golden nanmu high table there was a blue-and-white glazed plum vase with a few gorgeous marigolds inserted diagonally, making the whole room look particularly elegant and refined.

"Go and teach the servants in the mansion a lesson, don't neglect my granddaughter-in-law. If anyone dares to gossip about her low birth, don't blame me for not considering the relationship between master and servant for so many years! Make sure they know that my granddaughter-in-law is the real master of this mansion from now on!"

Old Madam Xie sternly instructed her confidant, Aunt Liu, that the granddaughter-in-law she had been waiting for so long must not be angered by these servants who flattered the powerful and looked down on the weak!

"Madam, you can rest assured. In the past two days, the servants of our mansion have already known that Wutongyuan will be the real master in the future. What's more, the emperor has granted Madam the first-class imperial edict. Who dares to neglect it?"

Nanny Liu had a beaming look on her face. The Marquis was finally going to get married and have children, and their mansion was about to become prosperous!

She has been sleeping with her mouth open lately!

Mrs. Xie smiled when she heard this. She excitedly held Aunt Liu's hand and said:

"Do you think this is true? My little grandson is really going to get married?!"

"How can this be false? It couldn't be more true! Old Madam, please take a rest first. I will go and give them a good beating. Let them be extremely careful in serving you! Then you can just wait to hold your little great-grandson!"

Aunt Liu understood her master’s feelings very well. In fact, she had pinched herself many times in the past few days, fearing that all this was just a dream and that the old lady’s wish would not come true!!!

Old Mrs. Xie smiled and signaled to Aunt Liu to go quickly!

I leaned on the small couch by the window and stared at the lush greenery in the yard. After a while, I couldn't help but wipe away my tears:

"Yu'er, your son is finally getting married. Next year, you and Hui Niang will become grandparents, and I won't have to worry about not being able to see you in the afterlife."

Old Madam Xie wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes while murmuring her son's nickname.

The pain of losing her son made her feel heartbroken every time she thought of him!

Whenever she thought of how her son was murdered by a villain and died at the border, she wished she could turn into a ghost and haunt that villain so that he would never be able to be reincarnated!

Just as Old Madam Xie was silently shedding tears, a little maid hurried in and reported:

"Madam, word came from Wutong Garden that Madam wants to come and see you and the old master today!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Xie no longer had time to wipe away her tears. She jumped up and quickly ordered the servants to help her dress and dress!

Suddenly, Sukidō became lively!

After the excitement, Old Madam Xie and Old Man Xie sat upright in the main seats, looking eagerly towards the door!

The two experienced old men were feeling a little uneasy at this moment, fearing that their granddaughter-in-law would not come again.

"Old Master, Old Madam, my husband...my wife wants to see you!"

When the maid came in to report, she didn't know whether to call her Madam Gu Yingxue or Madam Gu.

But she was a first-class maid after all and knew very well what her master wanted to hear. After hesitating for just a moment, she firmly called her Madam!

As expected, Mr. Xie and Mrs. Xie were very satisfied with her tactfulness and their expressions were very happy:

"Please come in quickly!"

Gu Yingxue brought Gu Yiyao and Gu Yichen in, and was about to salute Mr. Xie and Mrs. Xie when they were grabbed by Mrs. Xie:

"Oh, granddaughter-in-law, you don't have to bow. I don't care about these empty formalities. You don't know how happy I am that you can come to see my old bones!"

Old Mrs. Xie's eyes narrowed into a line due to laughing, and she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when she saw Gu Yingxue's true appearance.

No wonder my grandson has been thinking about it till now since he saw it once!

What a good-looking face indeed!

Bright and charming, graceful and elegant, as delicate as a spring flower, her unmade face has a kind of charm of light eyebrows like water and natural jade skin!

What a pleasing and delicate beauty!

Old Mrs. Xie was amazed. Even the noble families in the capital could not raise such a delicate beauty. She really didn't know how Gu Yingxue had such a good appearance!

Old Lady Xie saw that Yingxue was still dressed in a farmer's cloth and cotton skirt, and did not take it for granted to enjoy the gorgeous clothes prepared for her by the Marquis' Mansion just because of the emperor's marriage. She immediately liked her even more!

This is a girl with backbone who won't be spoiled by others. She likes it!

"Madam, I...I..."

Gu Yingxue was actually very nervous on the way here. She felt that the two men in the Marquis' Mansion would hate her and she was ready to have her engagement broken off.

Now that Mrs. Xie was holding my hands so enthusiastically, I didn't know how to respond.
