She was wearing a light yellow dress, which made her look more elegant and intellectual.
After dinner, Xu Qi ‘an was invited to Xu Erlang’s study.
Unconsciously, the two of them had started to avoid second uncle Xu when discussing important matters. It was not like when they had dealt with the assistant Minister of Revenue Zhou Xianping, where the three of them had discussed together.
The two brothers felt that this was pretty good. Second uncle was not good at scheming, and the more he knew, the easier it was for him to be distressed.
As an elder, he was thinking about how to solve the problem, not waiting for his nephew and son to solve it.
It was the instinct of every elder to shelter their children from the wind and rain. However, second uncle Xu was not good at this, so it would only add to his troubles.
In the east wing.
Second uncle Xu sat at the table, sipped his tea, and sighed. “You two bastards, you’re already looking down on me.”
An aunt in a thin white dress sat cross-legged on the bed, playing with her jade bangle, and asked, “”What do you mean?”
Her legs were well-proportioned and slender, and when they were crossed together, she was quite a feast for the eyes.
Al, something big has happened in Chu Zhou. Hundreds of officials are causing trouble in the Imperial City today. The news is spreading like wildfire. Second uncle Xu frowned.
“What is it?” His aunt asked curiously.
“She’s just a woman, why do you care so much?” Second uncle Xu glared at her.
Just like how the two brothers didn’t want second uncle Xu to worry, second uncle Xu didn’t want his wife to worry for nothing. For a woman like her who thought she was in her Prime, it was enough to just give her peace and happiness.
“Big brother, you still haven’t told me the details of what happened in the Chu Prefecture city.”
In the study, Xu Erlang was sitting by the coffee table with a cup of strong tea.
Xu Qi ‘an stood by the window and looked at the dark and quiet courtyard. He said slowly, “”The Chu Zhou case is far more complicated than you think.
He calmly recounted his journey north to Xu cijiu, bit by bit, including his sympathy with Zheng bu and the sight of the massacre in Chu Prefecture city.
His tone was so calm, so calm that he didn’t dare to have the slightest fluctuation.
Great sorrow without tears.
so, so he was also involved …
Xu niannian said in a daze. In his heart, the little bit of loyalty to the Emperor collapsed, not leaving a single bit.
the purpose of the diplomatic mission’s return to the capital this time is to announce North vanquishing Prince’s crimes to the world. Heh, Lord Zheng will not allow a beast like North vanquishing Prince to be buried as a Prince and pass down his title as the divine general of the nation to future generations. Xu Qi ‘an sneered.
Scholars paid the most attention to their reputation. If they could not convict North vanquishing Prince, in Zheng xinghuai’s view, this was an unsuccessful revenge and not justice for the people of Chu Prefecture city.
