Wu Ting left without stopping.
Wu Yuanyang followed closely behind.
There is not much time left for the princes and princesses to be shocked.
Wu Zhuo fell into silence, his expression extremely ugly. Before Wu Ting returned, the position of the young master of the Wu family was firmly in his hands.
but,
As the battle came to an end, he felt a strong sense of threat. His father's eyes,
changed.
The prince and princess, who had a close relationship with him, were busy thinking about how to deal with that former waste.
His status was seriously threatened.
"Don't even think about it!"
"As long as I'm here, there will never be a place for you in the Wu family. How can you compare to me if you're just born from a side branch? I am the only legitimate heir to the Wu family." Wu Zhuo growled in his heart and clenched his fists.
He is a genuine direct bloodline of the Wu family. His mother was born noble and has royal blood. He was married to a matchmaker by the emperor himself.
As the eldest son, he is the first heir to the Wu family due to his love and reason!
"Yanqing, you will stay with me for dinner today. You must tell me in detail about your fourth son!"
"In all these years, I never knew you had such a traitor!" Wang was very happy. Looking at the group of Northern Barbarian warriors lying on the ground unable to get up, the smile on his face could no longer be concealed.
The guys who were still showing off their power with their front legs and sweeping through the Nanjun Tianjiao were now lying on the ground one by one, motionless.
"promise!"
"Dear dear friends, Xiaozhuo, you will also stay here. Today I will hold a banquet to celebrate!"
"My lord, I obey your order!"
"Come here, carry all the warriors down so that they can be cured!"
The king smiled loudly, waved his sleeves, and drove back to the palace.
"Your Majesty, you don't need to attend today's dinner. All the princes and princesses need to accompany you." The queen looked at Princess Qinning and spoke with profound meaning.
"My son, please retire." Princess Qinning understood.
"Mother, I'm afraid I won't be able to attend the dinner." The second princess said.
"Oh? Why?"
"The fourth son of the Wu family fought for my son against the Northern Barbarians and won a great victory. Therefore, my son did not have to marry into the Northern Barbarians. Out of gratitude, I would like to pay a visit."
"Furthermore, I heard earlier that Mrs. Nanhua was suffering from cold illness, so I specially asked people to collect some precious medicinal materials from the northern barbarians, which are of great benefit to the cold illness. Now that the medicinal materials have arrived, I took this opportunity to come to express my gratitude." The second princess spoke firmly, It was difficult for the queen to refuse.
"This..." Both of them were close to her heart, so she was really embarrassed.
Everyone knows what Guan Mian said, and everyone knows what the second princess is thinking.
The eldest princess is obviously interested, the queen wants to match them, but the second princess doesn't seem to want to let go.
All the princes and nobles, as long as there are girls in the family, all have this idea.
"Wanping is interested." Princess Qinning smiled and continued, "In that case, Wanping come with me. I haven't seen this girl Xianyun for a few days, so I happened to have this idea."
Qin Ning spoke, and the queen did not dwell on this topic.
His Majesty hosted a banquet in honor of the ministers. The general was on the right, the princes and ministers were on the left, and the princesses and princes were chatting with the princes and ladies in the side hall.
The topic of this negotiation inevitably involves the fourth young master of the Wu family. The banquet that was supposed to be a celebration for Wu Zhuo and others was also stolen by the name Wu Ting.
Even Cao Shifan, who arrived late, could not completely suppress Wu Ting's limelight.
…
The General's Mansion,
Compared with the hustle and bustle of the past, it is slightly deserted.
As I approached the front door of the mansion, I felt a sense of familiarity that I had not seen for a long time.
The marble carved stone lions are lifelike and have extraordinary charm.
"Master Ninth!"
"Master Ninth!"
The guards said in unison. The two of them looked at Wu Ting and did not recognize him. They thought he was a friend of Wu Yuanyang.
"Alie, is the fourth lady back?" Wu Ting walked past the two of them and asked.
"Huh?" Qin Lie was startled. The voice seemed familiar. "Hui, I'm back." He replied subconsciously.
"You ask Butler Chen to use the Ganoderma lucidum as medicine, make it into a soup, and send it to the fourth lady's room,"
"Tonight, the fourth lady will have dinner in the room." Wu Ting waved his sleeves and a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum floated in front of Qin Lie.
"Four, fourth brother?!"
Qin Lie shouted in surprise.
"It's me." Wu Ting turned around, and Qin Lie was suddenly sure that the tall and powerful man in front of him was the fourth son of the Wu family, his fourth brother.
"Fourth brother, is it really you? When did you come back?" Qin Lie was so surprised that he forgot the etiquette of master and servant for a moment.
However, Wu Ting didn't care. Qin Lie was the person in the house who got along the best with him except Xiaojiu Wu Yuanyang. Therefore, he never asked Qin Lie to treat him as a master and servant. Therefore, Qin Lie's attitude towards Wu Ting's title was not Fourth Young Master, but Fourth Brother.
"I just came back not long ago. I'm going to see my mother first. We'll talk to you later. Don't forget what I told you."
"Hey! Okay!" Qin Lie was very excited.
"But the fourth young master, the eldest lady has a rule. The fourth lady must eat in the side hall. She is not allowed to..." the guard next to him whispered.
"Do as your fourth brother says. If anyone asks, just tell me what I told you. This is also what dad wants."
When Wu Yuanyang opened his mouth, the latter naturally did not dare to slack off.
Wu Ting walked along the path made of bluestones towards his mother's side room.
After being away from home for many years, the roads were overgrown with weeds and no one took care of them. The small pond in the shade of the trees has long dried up without being repaired. The flower beds of those years have long been deserted.
It's overcast and cold. How does it look like the place where the fourth lady of the General's Mansion lives?
When he was here, he took care of things a little bit, but when he was away, you can imagine how unsatisfactory his mother's life was.
"Well, Fourth Brother, after you left, Qin Lie and I often came to take care of it, but the dignitaries in the house couldn't see it, and they often made trouble for Siniang. Unfortunately, Qin Lie and I could only let it go."
Wu Yuanyang had something to say.
There are powerful people in the house, but their sons are more important. Although the Wu Mansion is not a deep palace, there is still a dark side of intrigue.
Come closer,
Close to my mother's residence,
The barren weeds were finally cleared away, and a small pond was built behind the eaves, with fish swimming happily under the lotus leaves.
The branches in front of the door that block the sun are also neatly pruned.
"You did it?"
"Hey, Qin Lie and I did this together. We originally wanted to build the pond bigger, but Siniang didn't allow it. The pavilion next to it can only accommodate three or two people. Siniang likes to play the piano, so Qin Lie and I quietly found someone to come in. The mansion built one, and the dignitaries in the mansion don’t come here on weekdays, so I don’t worry about being discovered by them.”
"Xiaojiu, thank you. Fourth brother owes you a favor. If you need anything, just ask fourth brother."
"Hey, really? How about fourth brother teaching me martial arts?" Wu Yuanyang said excitedly.
"Okay, I will stay in the house for a while."
Seeing Wu Ting agree, Wu Yuanyang was overjoyed, but according to Wu Ting's words, he didn't seem to be staying long.
"Fourth brother, do you want to leave?"
Wu Ting turned around with a calm expression, "Fourth brother, in this life, I will follow in the footsteps of someone else. I will come back and write letters from time to time."
"Who is the fourth brother going to pursue?"
"who?"
"Who is worthy of Fourth Brother pursuing?" Wu Yuanyang was very surprised.
"If you have a chance, Fourth Brother will take you to meet him. He taught Fourth Brother all his skills! Even Fourth Brother's life belongs to him." Wu Ting opened the door to the courtyard.
There was no movement in the house, the maid was not there, and neither was the mother.
"Where are the people?"
"Today is the day when the second sister goes home to visit her relatives. I guess she will be in the main hall." Wu Yuanyang just remembered.
"Wu Jie has left the cabinet?"
"The second young master has been married to the Marquis of Ping'an for some time. Your Majesty has given you special permission to enjoy the treatment of a princess leaving the palace. On the day of leaving the palace, the capital will celebrate for three days."
"Second Young Master of Ping'an Marquis, Yan Cheng? That playboy?"
"Now he is the flying cavalry general of the Zhenbei Army. He commands 30,000 flying cavalry troops and is in charge of 50,000 Zhenbei Army. It can be said that the wind will bring the wind and the rain will rain."
"Wu Jie will be a perfect match for marrying him." The two of them walked and talked, and soon came to the main hall, with lights and colors everywhere, making it look like a festive day.
Wu Ting and Wu Yuanyang walked through the house, but no one recognized him. Since Wu Yuanyang was beside him, no one stopped him.
"This is Yan Cheng's flying cavalry general?" Wu Ting saw four men in plain clothes with swords on their waists in the courtyard. All of them were masters of the seventh heaven of the reincarnation realm.
"Yes, it seems he hasn't left yet."
The courtyard was filled with congratulatory gifts, some from the Marquis of Ping'an's Mansion, and some from the Wu Mansion that were about to be sent to the Marquis of Ping'an's Mansion.
Wu Ting saw his mother in the main hall near the door, kneeling and sitting at the end of the main hall, while the powerful people headed by the eldest lady took their seats.
Such a scene made Wu Ting very angry.
His mother, Qian Zuo, Mrs. Nanhua, was the scion of a former official family and was originally a prince and aristocrat. However, due to some reasons, the family was wiped out, leaving only Qian Zuo and her mother.
Empress Qianzao was deeply loved by the emperor, so she escaped the disaster, and her mother also became a house filler for the Wu family at that time, so she was able to save her life.
"Mom, if you are not in good health, please don't walk around." Wu Ting walked straight to the main hall.
The sound of "mother" attracted everyone's attention.
"mother?"
"This is the fourth young master?" The servants and maids were all shocked.
"Ting'er, why are you back? Didn't you have dinner in the palace?" Wu Ting's sudden appearance made Mrs. Nanhua look a little flustered. She quickly stood up, her face pale and without much color.
It is so weak that it will fall to the ground like the wind blowing.
Wu Ting hurriedly stepped forward, but Yan Cheng's flying general stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Generals, this is my son, the fourth young master of the Wu family!" The dignified Mrs. Nanhua actually wanted to humble herself to outsiders.
"The fourth young master of the Wu family?"
"That fool?"
"It's still alive. I haven't seen him for so many years. I thought he was dead!" Yan Cheng stood up from his seat, surprised at first, then with a joking look on his face.
"Why is this fool back?" Wu Jie frowned, a little surprised, but she did not take Wu Ting seriously. In their eyes, Wu Ting was a dispensable useless person.
"Second sister, pay attention to your wording!" Wu Yuanyang reminded kindly.
Wu Ting waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to wipe his mouth.
Wu Ting took another step forward and said coldly, "Get out of the way!"
"Haha, I won't let you!" Everyone knows Wu Ting's status in the Wu family, and many people have made fun of that fool.
"roll!"
Just one word, with a thunderous sound, was directed at the two flying cavalry generals who stretched out their hands to stop them. The two men were bleeding from all their orifices on the spot, their heads almost exploded, and they were holding their heads on the ground and howling and screaming!
