Today, during the Xu Family Banquet, the guests, as well as the fact that the Emperor Ruikang was already said to be situated at Ye Jingxing, and the date for the new emperor to ascend to the throne had already been set. Before this, there were no channels available, so naturally they wanted to make use of this day of Xu Family banquets to pay their respects to Xu Family, this newly advanced pier.

These people were all so active, not to mention that they were all in-laws who had already received the post earlier.

Once the morning hours had passed, the streets outside the Xu Family gate became bustling with activity, and in less than fifteen minutes, people had already arrived.

The busiest one would naturally be Xu Nuanwen's family. She had long since started to think about the matters of her own nieces, and even the birthday present she prepared for her little nieces was something that she had been preparing since last year.

Although he had moved into the palace, he had to leave it for a day like this.

Ye Huan and his brothers were still living in the Fifth Prince Palace. A few days ago, they had received news from their mother that she was going to check all of these things again.

Fortunately, the three brothers had nothing better to do recently, so they together checked the eight boxes that Xu Nuanwen had prepared a long time ago.

In the morning, the three brothers had already changed into their clothes, and then loaded the gifts onto the carriage. After the father and mother who were living in the palace left, the family of five rushed over to Xu Family.

Those following behind them were naturally members of the Xu family.

They were in-laws with the second branch in the Xu Family and now that Ye Jingxing was about to ascend the throne, their master naturally had a future.

Today, the family of four had all changed into new clothes. Although the gifts weren't expensive, they were still items that the three of them had meticulously prepared for more than a month.

As they arrived, one after another, in less than an hour, the closest families followed suit.

Seeing that the people were all gathered, Xu Shiqiu gave Ye Jingxing a meaningful glance, and then the men that were in charge went to enjoy the scenery, without knowing where to discuss.

When the few of them left, a few women immediately noticed that something was up and looked towards the Old Madame Xu.

Old Madame Xu knew that she could not hide this fact, so she told Yue Yang what happened two days ago at the palace.

”Our clans and the Madame Liu's race have already reached an irreconcilable stalemate. Now that such a thing has occurred, and the first Grand Examination after tomorrow will happen, I believe that we will definitely come to a conclusion regarding this matter.”

No one had expected so much to happen in the past few days.

Thinking about the Empress Hu's temper in the palace, the wife of the Hu Family asked first, ”Empress of the palace, do you have anything to say?” Saying that, Madam Hu looked at Dong Shu.

Everyone knew that the Empress Hu treated Dong Shu as her own daughter and the rewards that they had received from the carriage a year ago had dazzled the eyes of many.

Seeing Madam Hu looking straight at Dong Shu, no one felt it was strange. After all, if Empress Hu had something to say, she would definitely pass it to Dong Shu.

But who knew that after Dong Shu heard Madam Hu's question, she actually shook her head and said, ”The Empress did not spread the news, and only the Mama Yan received a message from the palace.

When the few ladies heard Dong Shu's words, they did not know how to reply.

When Ye Jingche and the Madame Liu Clan had fought against the previous Crown Prince, and now that they wanted to use the previous Crown Prince to wash themselves clean, how could the Empress not be angry?

Old Madame Xu and Xu Nuanwen took the chance to look at each other. They knew that Yan Ye was indeed alive, and Xu Nuanwen had even received hints from the Old Madame Xu just now that she had met Yan Ye before.

Now, they felt that the Madame Liu Clan wanted to use the previous Crown Prince's matter to wash their hands of themselves. However, they knew that there must be something else.

After hearing her sister-in-law's words, Xu Nuanwen thought for a while, then said: ”Right now, no matter what, the most important thing is to quickly determine the crime of mother and son as well as the Madame Liu Clan. ”Everyone knows a bit about that man's character. All I'm afraid of is that he will feel heartache for this son of his.”

Xu Nuanwen was about to become the Queen.

Seeing that everyone stopped pursuing the matter regarding Xu Nuanwen's daughter-in-law, Old Madame Xu continued, ”Now that everyone is aware of this matter, when we return today, everyone will still need to help our husband, and should make arrangements as soon as possible.” After saying this, Old Madame Xu thought for a moment before continuing, ”After a while more, the other guests should come knocking as well. Everyone should restrain your emotions in time.”

With these two sentences from Old Madame Xu, the management wives immediately understood what she meant.

Although they were only inner chamber women, they still had connections in their hands.

Not to mention his family, even his close friends from the past were extraordinary.

If they really allowed the Madame Liu Clan to escape this time, then they would never be able to get anything good out of it in the future.

Thinking of this, the few ladies hurriedly expressed their attitude, claiming that they would definitely help their husband.

After obtaining everyone's promise, Old Madame Xu looked at Dong Shu and said: ”Go check on Yuanxi, it's almost time to capture Zhou.”

After receiving the Old Madame Xu's instructions, Dong Shu was naturally busy looking for Yuanxi, and after she left, although the various wives still had smiles on their faces, they could still tell that something was still amiss.

It wasn't until a quarter of an hour later, when the various men returned, that the madams finally had a backbone.

Although they did not know how they had come to an agreement, they could tell that their expressions were normal. Thus, they could be considered to be somewhat relieved.

As the other guests came over, they were getting closer and closer to where Yuanxi was. Previously, Old Madame Xu had mentioned that they would need to train a few days ahead of time, but Dong Shu felt that there was no need for this.
