Zhu Wenyu looked at Zhao Xuanyi, "Come on, let's continue drinking, don't let these young people ruin our fun!"
Zhao Xuanyi smiled and raised his wine glass, "Prince please!"
The banquet ended in a pleasant atmosphere. Zhao Xuanyi took Du Xinyu out of the palace, but Du Xinyu was still a little unfinished, "What? Haven't you seen enough?"
"I have always wanted to visit the Imperial Garden. I heard that there are tens of thousands of precious flowers in the Imperial Garden, but I have never seen it!"
"There's nothing interesting to see, and most of them I don't know! Although the palace is large, there are very few places that outsiders like us can see! And there are many places that are taboo and we can't set foot in!"
Du Xinyu nodded, "It's a great joy to be able to have dinner in the palace today! This incident is enough for me to remember for a lifetime!"
Arriving in front of the carriage, Zhao Xuanyi helped Du Xinyu enter the carriage, "What does this mean? If you want to come again in the future, I will bring you back when I have time! Although the food and wine in the palace are good, you must have the ability to eat them! Just do it this time Not bad!"
"So how are you going to reward me?" Du Xinyu asked.
"Whatever you say will be done!"
Du Xinyu smiled and lay in Zhao Xuanyi's arms, "I want to tell you another good thing, you will be happier!"
"What good thing?"
"This time, taking advantage of the big food sale in the south, I gave Du Chun 100,000 taels and asked him to take the opportunity to buy a large amount of food and deliver it to your military camp. In addition to plugging your previous deficit in selling food, I can also give you the leftovers. Pay at least several hundred thousand taels of military pay!"
When Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he hugged Du Xinyu, kissed him, and laughed happily, "Xinyu, I love you so much, I really belong to you! You actually thought of this?"
"Have I, Du Xinyu, ever done a loss-making business? You still want to accompany me today!"
"It's necessary! I'll always be with you! Hahaha! You are indeed my woman! Hahaha...!" Zhao Xuanyi was lying on the bed, laughing almost crazy!
Shen Wei looked strange, "What kind of haha medicine did you take?"
After returning home, Zhao Xuanyi did not continue to mess around with Du Xinyu. Instead, he asked someone to make a tablet with the name of Du Xinyu's mother engraved on it. Zhao Xuanyi took a closer look and realized that Du Xinyu's mother's name was Wen Yuhuan! This was the first time he knew his mother-in-law's name!
After about an hour, Shen Wei walked into the hall, "Young Master, everything has been arranged!"
"Okay, let's go!"
"yes!"
Du Xinyu changed into a white plain dress, holding her mother's memorial tablet in both hands. Accompanied by Zhao Xuanyi, she walked out of the gate of the Protector's Mansion. When she came outside, she saw Feng Jihua with two young eunuchs, holding a memorial tablet in his hands. The imperial edict stood outside the door, accompanied by four palace guards wearing golden armor.
After Feng Jihua saw Zhao Xuanyi, he lowered his head to salute. Zhao Xuanyi nodded slightly. At this moment, everyone's expressions became very solemn. Zhao Xuanyi and Du Xinyu got on the Qilin chariot. The carriage started to drive slowly, followed by twenty people. The Qilin Guards are led by Tang Tianli himself!
Everyone wandered to the door of the Du family. After everyone dismounted, the servants of the Du family were so frightened that their faces changed when they saw this scene, and they turned around and ran towards the inner palace!
Du Chun was looking at his account books at home. In the recent period, the price of food has been as high and low as the stormy sea. He didn't dare to be careless! But a servant rushed in outside the door, and Du Chun was very dissatisfied!
"Why are you so unruly? Didn't you see that I was doing something?"
"Master, something happened! The eldest lady and the Protector are here, and there are also the father-in-law and guards from the palace. It seems that things are not simple!"
"What?" Du Chun was very surprised, thinking that it was normal for Du Xinyu and Zhao Xuanyi to come, but why did the people from the palace come? He stood up hurriedly and patted the dust on his body. "Quick, line up to greet us!"
"yes!"
In the blink of an eye, all the servants of the Du family came out to welcome them. Everyone lined up on both sides. The group of people coming from outside slowly walked into the front yard. Four palace guards retreated to both sides. Du Xinyu walked in front holding a tablet in hand!
Du Chun ran over quickly and was about to speak, but saw Du Xinyu holding her own knot in her hands.
Handing out his wife's token, his face immediately turned ugly, "Xinyu, what are you doing?" xь.
Du Xinyu looked at Du Chun, "I don't want to talk to you today, someone will tell you what to do!"
"What?" Du Chun didn't understand what Du Xinyu meant.
At this time, Feng Jihua, who was standing behind Zhao Xuanyi, came over holding the imperial edict in his hand, "Businessman Du Chun, kneel down and listen to the edict!"
"Imperial decree?" After hearing this, Du Chun's mind went blank and he was dumbfounded. What did this mean? Where did the imperial edict come from? Didn't I do anything wrong?
"How dare you, Du Chun, why don't you kneel down?" Feng Jihua shouted loudly.
Du Chun instantly knelt on the ground, then looked at all the servants at home, "Kneel down, all of them, kneel down quickly!"
Everyone in the Du family knelt down.
Feng Jihua opened the imperial edict: "Mr. Wen, a civilian girl, has a mellow temperament, is kind, and is honest all her life. She is a good mother in the world and has given birth to a talented daughter Du Xinyu. She is specially given to Wen to live in the Du family ancestral hall, receive incense from the descendants of the Du family, and bless her daughter's health and happiness. I have chased Du Chun's concubine Zhou Mei Ling out of the ancestral hall bravely. If I enter the Du family ancestral hall again without the emperor's order, the master of the Du family will be beheaded immediately! I admire this!"
After Du Chun heard this, he immediately turned into a fool. He looked at Du Xinyu with trembling head, "Child, what are you doing?"
Du Xinyu looked at Du Chun, smiled coldly, and said nothing!
Feng Jihua coughed at the side, "Du Chun, are you planning to resist the decree?"
"The ordinary people don't dare, the ordinary people accept the order and thank you!" Du Chun accepted the imperial edict and then looked at Du Xinyu!
But Du Xinyu didn't say a word, and walked directly to the Du family ancestral hall with the token in hand. After entering the ancestral hall, Du Xinyu came to Zhou Meiling's table, threw Zhou Meiling's table to the ground, raised her jade feet, and stamped hard. Down!
[Crack! 】After a crisp sound, Zhou Meiling's tablet was stepped on in half! Du Xinyu then smiled, then placed his mother's tablet in the most conspicuous position in the ancestral hall, took three steps back, knelt down and kowtowed!
Du Chun held the imperial edict in his hand, standing aside and watching quietly, but said nothing. The imperial edict in his hand seemed to be a steel knife, placed on his neck, making him unable to speak!
Zhao Xuanyi came over, knelt down and saluted, and then helped Du Xinyu up. There were many people at the scene, but there was silence and the atmosphere was very depressing!
There was a crisp sound of footsteps, and then a figure was seen running into the ancestral hall. When he entered, he was shocked to see so many strangers in front of him, but when he saw the trampled tablets on the ground, the boy Eyes widened.
Du Xinlei hurriedly picked up his mother's tablet and looked at Du Chun beside him, "Father, what's going on? Why is my mother's tablet broken?"
"This...?" Du Chun was like a mute at the moment, not daring to speak nonsense!
"I broke it! For no other reason than your mother is not worthy of being in this Du family ancestral hall!" Du Xinyu shouted coldly!
Du Xinlei looked at Du Xinyu, his eyes filled with annoyance, "Why do you? Why do you treat my mother like this!"
"I have an imperial edict! Didn't you see your father holding an edict in his hand?"
"Imperial edict?" Du Xinlei turned around and saw that Du Chun really held the edict in his hand. He was stunned for a moment!
Du Xinyu walked over with a smile and looked at the boy who was related to her by blood: "Du Xinlei, don't let me underestimate you! Did you see it? My mother's tablet is in the ancestral hall, right where your mother's tablet is! You If you have the ability, throw down my mother’s tablet now and put your mother’s tablet there!”
"You? Just change it!" Du Xinlei said and walked up!
Du Chun was almost frightened to death when he saw it. He hugged his son, "My son, you are seeking death! This is the emperor's order! If you really move, no one in our family or the nine tribes will survive!"
Only then did Du Xinlei realize that he had thought too simply. When he saw four palace guards wearing golden armor standing outside, as well as dozens of Qilin guards, Du Xinlei realized what strength meant! Even though the memorial tablet was less than five steps away from him, he seemed to be unable to walk past it in his life!
Du Xinyu patted Du Xinlei's head with her hand and said, "Cowardly
Husband, you will live under your father’s blessing for the rest of your life! You can never protect your mother! "
Du Xinlei's eyes widened with anger and his chest felt tight, "What are you crazy about here? Aren't you just marrying a powerful man? If you don't marry a protector, who are you? If your mother doesn't marry My dad, who does she mean?"
"..." As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone present changed!
