Xu You pursed his lips and did not speak.

She looked at her mother and stopped talking, and after a long time, she choked up and said, "Mother, I have worked so hard for so long and so hard, I finally thought I could get rid of Zhu Yuan....... But this time......."

She was really starting to feel discouraged.

In the past, when she was sad, she was more resentful, and she was never willing to admit that she would be worse than Zhu Yuan.

But this time was different.

Zhu Yuan is simply not a person, she can think farther and deeper than others everywhere.

This is what happened this time, even she didn't know why the family had to invite Zhu Yuan to the Spring Breeze Banquet, and her father had never revealed to herself that they wanted to test Zhu Yuan's career.

But Zhu Yuan could just guess.

Not only can she guess, but she can also easily and calmly set up a game, first luring the people of the Lu family to take the bait, and then leading the Xu family into the game, so that the Lu and Xu families are suspicious of each other and hate each other, and finally their lives are irretrievable.

Xu You saw that Mrs. Shizi didn't speak, and felt even more sad in his heart: "Mother, I always felt that I was very powerful, at least much better than Zhu Yuan, who had no father and no mother, but now it seems that this is not the case, she is a person who can make waves without relying on anyone, I always think about embarrassing her and embarrassing her, but in the end?" She didn't put me in her eyes at all, and even my father and grandmother were all played by her! ”

This kind of you treat others as opponents, but people don't take you seriously at all, you try extremely hard to set up a situation to surpass her and frame her, but she solves it with a wave of her sleeves, not only that, but she also designs your whole family by the way.

It's not on the same level at all, how can it be compared?

But the problem is, Zhu Yuan's experience and family background are not enough to support her to get such a good training, why did she take shit luck and be so capable?

Mrs. Shizi squinted her eyes and saw that her daughter was discouraged, so she patted her shoulder and smiled: "Mother can't tell you why now, because of this girl, your grandmother and your father are now anxious......."

She said, looking at Xu You and telling her to be cautious: "You hate her, that's normal, but don't show it, don't think about dealing with her, there are enough things at home, your brother hasn't been found yet, and your grandfather is struggling in Yunnan now, you must not have any more accidents." ”

Xu You also knew that what her mother said was right, what else could she do now?

She nodded.

Mrs. Shizi asked Xu You to go back to rest, and just about to tell someone to prepare to wash, she heard the old lady's news, and couldn't help but tidy up her spirit again and rushed to the old lady's yard.

The old lady arranged for her to go to Wang's house: "There are always some channels for Wang Taifu, what is the attitude of the saint now, and what is the situation in Yunnan...... You can go to Wang's house tomorrow and see if Mrs. Wang can show some words. ”

The British duke is the pillar of the family, if something really happens and falls into Yunnan, then the entire Guogong Mansion is over, and now, the old lady can't help but panic.

Mrs. Shizi hesitated, and she reminded the old lady after a while: "The relationship between the Wang family and Zhu Yuan is very good...... Wang Chang can't forget Zhu Yuan every time there is something......"

Old Mrs. Xu knew what she meant, her thin lips pursed into a line, and the wrinkles on her face piled up, making her look a little meaner, she snorted coldly, and said in a long tone and self-deprecatingly: "Yes, how did you forget, didn't this Zhu Yuan just rely on the Wang family and the Chen family all the way to the present, if it weren't for the help of the Wang family at the beginning, she would have been finished, at this time, it is useless to go to the Wang family." ”

Mrs. Shizi hung her head and said nothing.

Mrs. Xu said again: "Forget it...... Let's go to Yang's house. ”

Yang Ding was only elected from the Ministry of Industry to enter the cabinet at the beginning of the new year, replacing Shen Gelao, who had told the old before, and now he is also an old pavilion, and it is also a channel to go to him to find out the news.

But the two have never had any contact before.

Especially when the Yang family had come to propose marriage before, they wanted to be in-laws with the British government, but they were refused.

Mrs. Shizi pondered for a while, then reached out and clicked on the table, and agreed: "The daughter-in-law has a plan in her heart, mother, don't worry, the daughter-in-law will go tomorrow." ”

Anyway, if you can make Mrs. Xu feel at ease if you go, then it's better to go.

Mrs. Shizi paused, seeing that Mrs. Xu's spirit was still not good, she originally wanted to hold back, but she still couldn't help but ask: "But mother, it's useless for us to ask now, the whip can't reach it, father he ......"

Old Mrs. Xu coughed for a while.

Mrs. Shizi hurriedly got up and patted Mrs. Xu on the back, and asked her to decoct the medicine.

It just so happened that Xu Zhaohai also came back, and when he heard that his mother's condition had worsened, he couldn't help but be anxious, and it took a long time before he came in and said hello to Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu coughed and sat up, asked Mrs. Shizi to step aside, looked at Xu Zhaohai and asked him, "How is it?" ”

Xu Zhaohai went out to find out the news.

Over the years, the British government has had countless in-laws in the city, and its connections are always very powerful.

"I have already gone to Princess Yongchang's mansion to ask......." Xu Zhaohai said sullenly: "The concubine is also with the army as an inspector, Princess Yongchang is also very anxious, she has been to the palace many times, I have asked, the princess said, now the cabinet has received a report that is not good for the father, saying that the father is too aggressive, and promised to give those traitors the opportunity to recruit peace, but they suddenly repented halfway, so that those rebels lost a lot of people, and they simply turned their hearts....... My father is now trapped in the middle of the gang, and I don't know what the situation is......."

He was afraid that Mrs. Xu wouldn't be able to stand it, so he didn't dare to make the matter serious.

But Mrs. Xu unexpectedly did not lose control of her emotions as before, she was silent for a moment, then shook her head, and said: "No, your father has experienced a hundred battles, and the king of Joseon came to ask for help, and it was your father who helped to exterminate the rebels, so far away your father can come back unharmed, let alone Yunnan?" I don't believe he'll come back safely. ”

Xu Zhaohai was speechless, looked at his mother, and did not speak.

Old Madam Xu said after a while: "You ask those people to stop pestering the matter of the five princes, the people of the Luo family...... Let them take matters into their own hands. ”

Xu Zhaohai nodded, and hurriedly said: "By the way, Mr. Li and they all asked me to persuade you before this matter, but now the news from my father's side is not very good, everyone's eyes are focused on us, we can't continue to stare at this matter, don't talk about it, now there are few people who take this seriously, after all, they are all covered up by the war in Yunnan, and more importantly, we can't be caught now." ”
