Chapter 26 The 6th Prince Appears
Xu Jingyi was so excited that he didn't know how to express the thousands of words in his heart.
He waved his hand at his colleagues and said, "Come to my house for a drink. Don't go home until you're drunk."
Colleagues...we should enjoy the official wine this time. Didn't you see that the Sixth Prince came to congratulate us?
I heard before that when the second daughter of the Xu family got married, the Sixth Prince presented a gift on behalf of the current emperor.
This time they came to congratulate again. What does the royal family mean?
The Sixth Prince is the Emperor's second son and the Crown Prince's younger brother. If nothing unexpected happens, the Crown Prince will be the next Emperor.
Lord Xu’s marriage is a wonderful one.
There was laughter and joy in the front yard. Xu Jingyi's face was flushed and he looked energetic. He held the wine glass in his trembling hands and never put it down.
Xu Jingyi...this wine is so damn enjoyable to drink.
In the backyard, Butler Qian asked the maid from the Duke's Mansion to bring the servants to deliver the return gift to Xu Miao, and also delivered the silver note that Xu Miao gave him in the morning to Xu Miao.
The last time Xu Miao came back to her parents' home, the return gift from the general's mansion to the young lady was withheld by Zhao.
Housekeeper Qian naturally knew about this. This time, Housekeeper Qian directly asked the maid to deliver the return gift to the young lady's backyard.
Butler Qian: Let’s see who dares to intercept.
After a while, the maid from the Duke's Mansion came out from the backyard and stood beside Butler Qian, whispering for a while.
Steward Qian called Xu Jingyi over and said with a smile, "Master Xu, I heard that the little girl in the backyard has so many things that she can't even fit them all. I hope you can send someone to take a look."
How could this old fox Xu Jingyi not understand what it meant?
He quickly bowed and said, "Don't worry, butler, I will definitely get it done."
When the young lady saw the return gift from the Duke's Mansion and Xu Miao's banknotes in the backyard, she was so excited that she began to cry.
The last time she came to the general's mansion as a return gift, the lady didn't leave a single hair for her.
This time, the return gift from the Duke's Mansion went directly into the backyard. After entering the yard, the maid from the Duke's Mansion was extremely polite and kept greeting and saying hello to the young lady.
This made me so flustered that I didn't know what to do.
She was not greedy for these little things, but when she saw the behavior of the Duke's Mansion, she knew that her daughter was living a good life there.
Xi's mother burst into tears and kept praying for Buddha's blessing.
When Zhao learned that the Duke's Mansion had sent a maid to deliver the return gift to her mother's backyard, she was so angry that she jumped up and down and cursed.
"Damn bitch, she's so proud this time, I wonder how long she can be proud."
Zhao told her maidservant, "Go, wait until the people from the Duke's Mansion leave, and then bring me the things from that bitch's yard. She deserves to use them."
Anyway, the people from the Duke's Mansion can't stay in the Xu Mansion forever, and she still has the final say.
Xu Mingzhu was so angry that she smashed all the vases and porcelain in her room, throwing everything that could be thrown on the ground to make a noise.
The two maids in Xu Mingzhu's room squatted in the corner with their heads in their hands, fearing that Xu Mingzhu's anger would be vented on them.
Ever since Xu Miao married into the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, Xu Mingzhu has been holding her breath.
She just couldn't bear to see Xu Miao living a good life. She, Xu Mingzhu, would be happy only if Xu Miao was like a homeless stray dog, wagging his tail and begging everywhere.
She felt that Xu Miao should live that kind of life.
When she learned that Xu Jingyi was going to hold a grand return banquet for Xu Miao, she was so angry that she ran to Zhao to make a scene.
Zhao warned her not to cause trouble. If Xu Miao could really gain a foothold in the Duke's Mansion and the Duke was willing to help Xu Jingyi, it would be beneficial to both the Xu Mansion and her brother.
If she dared to cause trouble at the return banquet, Zhao threatened to send her back to her hometown.
Xu Mingzhu knew that Zhao was making plans for Xu Jingyi and her brother.
Zhao was definitely not just thinking about Xu Mingzhu.
Early in the morning, Xu Mingzhu sat in her room with a gloomy face. The maids and old women serving in the room wished they were shadows so that Xu Mingzhu would not see them.
They saw murderous intent in Xu Mingzhu's eyes.
After a while, it was heard that the Sixth Prince passed by Xu's Mansion and asked for a glass of wine.
The master was smiling like a flower in the front yard.
Xu Mingzhu couldn't hold back her anger any longer. She smashed everything in the room. After that, she sat at the table and panted: "I don't believe that slave Xu Miao can always be lucky. I, Xu Mingzhu, am waiting to see how long you can be so proud."
I was furious. But there was nothing I could do.
Butler Qian brought his servants back to the Duke's Mansion and went to the study in the front yard to meet Zhou Chenli.
He reported to Zhou Chenli about the Xu residence's return banquet and told him about his encounter with the Sixth Prince.
After hearing this, Zhou Chenli frowned and asked Butler Qian, "Uncle Qian, what do you think this Old Sixth Master means?"
"Before he came to deliver the gift, I heard from the palace spies that the Sixth Prince happened to see the Emperor sending someone to deliver something, so he casually said he would come on the Emperor's behalf, and he also wanted to join in the fun."
"But since we met again this time, it's hard to say. There aren't many coincidences."
"Have someone carefully investigate the people in the Xu Mansion, especially Xu Miao and her young wife. See if they are involved with Old Six."
The last time the Sixth Prince came to deliver a gift to the Emperor, Zhou Chenli felt something was amiss. He then contacted his spies in the palace to investigate, and they said that the Sixth Prince had just happened to come across him.
Even if Zhou Chenli believed it was a coincidence, this time, it was definitely done on purpose by the Sixth Prince.
Zhou Chenli put his hands behind his back, walked around the room twice, then turned back to Housekeeper Qian and said, "Go call Han, the old woman in Yuan's backyard."
Butler Qian took a walk around Zhou Jiyuan's backyard, saying that he came to see the young master on behalf of the master, and also to tell Xu Miao about the homecoming banquet.
In the evening, Mrs. Han knelt in front of Zhou Chenli.
Zhou Chenli looked at Han Pozi kneeling on the ground and said, "If there's a chance, let's test that Xu Miao and ask her if she knows the Sixth Prince. Do you know his name?"
Han Pozi knelt on the ground and answered tremblingly: "To answer the Duke, I know that the Sixth Prince is named Zhou Jicheng, and his nickname is Acheng."
Zhou Chenli smiled with satisfaction, and then said to Mrs. Han, "Try it out a few more times, and report back immediately if you find any clues."
After saying that, he threw the gold ingots on the table to Mrs. Han.
Mrs. Han moved her body slightly and reached out to take the gold ingot thrown to her. Her movements were quite agile.
After leaving Zhou Chenli's study, Mrs. Han returned to her harmless self.
With his head lowered and his back bent, he quietly returned to Zhou Jiyuan's backyard.
This Han woman was born to be a spy. Even if Xu Miao was beaten to death, he would never have thought that Han woman would be the spy in Zhou Jiyuan's courtyard.
The Xu Mansion's return banquet came to an end.
The Duke Dingguo's Mansion began to get busy again.
Upon hearing that Zhou Jiyuan was getting better, his eldest brother's family and his second brother's family said they wanted to visit him.
Duke Dingguo and his wife had three sons. The eldest and second sons were already married and had left the house to set up their own families.
Now, Zhou Jiyuan is the only son left in Duke Dingguo's mansion.
Lady Dingguo, sitting across from Xu Miao, said to him with an unhappy look on her face, "I just don't like my two daughters-in-law. I always feel like they look down on me. They're very respectful to me, but they never get close to me."
"I wanted to keep them in the mansion for a while longer, so I found all kinds of excuses to escape. Humph, they are just hiding from me."
Zhou Jiyuan sat on the bed, holding a small bowl and drinking the pear juice cooked for him by Xu Miao. Although he couldn't eat sweets yet, the pear juice cooked by Xu Miao was also very sweet.
And Xu Miao didn't restrict him, so it was okay to drink a little more.
Zhou Jiyuan started drinking this pear juice as water since he got up in the morning, and it tasted quite good.
Zhou Jiyuan looked at his mother with disdain as she complained to Xu Miao again, and took over the words of the Duke's wife.
"Sister-in-law and second sister-in-law are always avoiding you. You just wipe your tears when you have nothing to do. Whenever you wipe your tears, my father will scold my eldest brother and second brother with a sullen face, and then my sister-in-law and second sister-in-law will also be scolded."
"If it were me, I would avoid you too."
The Duke's wife said: "I will cry in front of you. See if your father will scold you."
