Zhu Houde went to find Da Zhu and explained the whole story. Da Zhu heard that the mansion leader was arresting the girl from the Yuan family. He was really angry and annoyed. The Yuan family came to the door now. With his father's temperament, it was absolutely impossible to be tough on the Yuan family. He could only force her to surrender. Moreover, the Yuan family was really not easy to provoke. Thinking of this, he said to Zhu Houde: "Brother, go first. I will sort out my clothes. Let's come back. I still have blood on my clothes, which is rude."

Seeing that there was indeed some blood on her shoulders, Zhu Houde said, "Okay. Hold on tightly, your father is angry."

After Zhu Houde went out, the eldest Zhu quickly took his maid away from the back door.

She would not be the target of this arrow. Today, the Yuan family came to the door to look for her father, not for her. The father always had a way to settle it, whether it was to be humble or compromise. Anyway, he has been in this attitude towards the Yuan family for so many years and doesn't care about this time.

Duke Zhu waited outside for a long time. Before he could come out and ask someone to go and see him again, he found that the person had left. Duke Zhu's face suddenly turned blue. After seeing the angry face of Mrs. Yuan, he turned red with shame and didn't know how to explain.

Under the strict eyes of Mrs. Yuan, he felt at a loss, as if a child who did something wrong could not find a way to apologize and compensate.

Of course, he had long been psychologically weak towards Mrs. Yuan, but more importantly, he thought about this matter, and it was indeed because of the Duke's Mansion that did it too much.

Therefore, he could only apologize sincerely, and said that he would pursue the matter and give an explanation to the Yuan family and A Si.

I thought Mrs. Yuan would be rebellious and make a big fuss, but I didn't know that after hearing his apology, Mrs. Yuan shut up the people around him and sent everyone in the Duke's Mansion. Then she looked at the Duke's mansion and sighed softly, "Duke, we have been in love for decades. I really don't want to make such a trouble to you. To be honest, my old woman smells the fragrance of the coffin. These grievances and grievances are all indifferent to me. For so many years, I have been angry at you many times because of some things. Even for a little bit of a small matter, I have to scold you for being a squirting away. It seems that A Si was wronged today, and the child suffered a little grievance. Knowing that a little ugly life is not worth my mobilization to cause trouble for you, but why should I come and make a fuss about this? Do you know?"

Isn’t this the confusion in Zhu Guogong’s heart?

Mrs. Yuan was not such an unreasonable person when she was young, but why did she always like to stare at him? Although the two families did not have frequent contacts after these years, they always made trouble and scolded him because of trivial matters.

So, he asked back, "Tell me, why is this? I really don't understand."

Mrs. Yuan's tone was still angry, "Because, when my father-in-law died, I still felt sorry for you."

Duke Zhu's face turned pale, "How could this...? What's the old general dissatisfied with me? He had never said it before he left, where did you start?"

Mrs. Yuan said coldly: "He never said anything. He kept his disappointment in you in his heart. You have achieved success and fame. He scolded you for not giving you face. Because of your personal grudge with Xiaoyao Gong, how many things have you hindered over the years? Now I ask you, do you really think that the prince’s proposal to alliance with the Great Zhou is beneficial to my Northern Tang Dynasty or has great disadvantages?"

Duke Zhu was slightly stunned, "I haven't really thought about this yet."

"You haven't thought about it, but you object, you insist on opposing it, why?"

Duke Zhu slowly lowered his head and fell silent.

Mrs. Yuan said coldly: "If you really say a few reasons for opposition, I won't be angry. Everyone has different opinions. The prince's proposal also has disadvantages. You can put forward opposition based on your views and experience, but you have no reason. You even think that the prince's decision is good and will be beneficial to the long-term stability of our Northern Tang Dynasty. In the end, you object, is it ridiculous?"

Smashed beads of sweat oozed out of Duke Zhu's forehead. He reached out to wipe it, but he still couldn't defend himself.

Mrs. Yuan continued: "For the sake of the Northern Tang Dynasty and for the sake of the Northern Tang Dynasty, we almost threw our lives on the battlefield. In the battles with the Northern Tang Dynasty, we were killed and injured, and we were few soldiers. What was our original intention to fight? What was the reason for their sacrifice? In your opinion, none of these matters is the little personal grudges with Xiaoyao Gong. This personal grudge is even greater than the family, country and the world. Do you think my father-in-law will be disheartened by you?"

Duke Zhu finally lowered his head in shame.

"Do you think I'm coming for the prince?" Mrs. Yuan continued: "Do you know why this proposal has not been passed now? The emperor agreed, but why hasn't it been passed?"

"Does the emperor agree?" Duke Zhu was stunned for a moment, "Have the emperor expressed his attitude?"

"The emperor has already expressed his attitude, otherwise, why did the prince go to lobby the ministers? I might as well tell you that the cabinet passed this matter, so the execution of this matter is a foregone conclusion. But the emperor and the cabinet passed this matter, and you have always held objections. That was the emperor slapped you in the face. The emperor delayed it, hoping that you could agree and reach an agreement with other officials of the court. This is a military action. He wants to give you a little face to the veteran, but what about you? How did you do it? The Crown Princess came to treat your wife's illness. You thought deeply. Could this proposal be your Zhu Guo?

The power of the master can stop it? You are old and shouldn't be willful, and you shouldn't let others hold you and chase you to coax. State affairs are big things, bigger than anything else. Do you think your daughter Zhu Huai has ulterior motives and intentionally provokes? But what you do is worse than Zhu Huai. After all, Zhu Huai has a purpose, for her grandson, King An, what about you? Think about it carefully, Zhu Huai treats kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs. Why are you not? Another thing, I hope you can really listen to it. What are Zhu Huai and Di Weiming going to do? Are you going to bury the lives of hundreds of people from your Zhu family for their ambitions? "

Mrs. Yuan left after saying that.

Duke Zhu stood there in a daze, feeling ashamed, climbing up layer by layer, his face flushed and purple, and he felt ashamed. His last words woke him up as if he was shocking thunder.

He entered the study and sat for half an hour. After coming out, he asked Zhu Houde to go to the patriarch and said that he would cut off the relationship between father and daughter with Da Zhu.

Zhu Houde felt it was too serious and said, "Father, it's not that the eldest sister is really confused, but just teach her a lesson. There is really no need to cut off the relationship."

"What are you doing when you talk so much nonsense? Just go if you ask me." Duke Zhu said angrily.

Zhu Houde knelt down and said sadly: "Father, my mother is still ill now. If you break off your relationship with your eldest sister, wouldn't it hurt your mother's heart? Never mind."
