The servants poured into Huo Xi and Huo Nian's courtyards and had a dispute with the servants in the two courtyards.
It was said that they were ordered by the madam to take them for interrogation and search their house. However, they lacked fighting power and were repelled by Zhufeng and others, and they could not even enter the courtyard gate.
When the lady heard the reply, she was very angry.
Mrs. Wu added to her jealousy: "Madam, look at it, the Duke of Guo is still here, and they don't even listen to your orders. If something happens to the Duke of Guo, will they still take you seriously?
?”
He howled again: "They don't even pay attention to the Madam. Then does my poor Jie'er still have a way to live? He won't be regarded as a thorn in the side of the future Duke of the country."
Mrs. Tai couldn't hear people saying that Zhang Fu would meet in case of emergency, nor could she hear the words of the future Duke.
He became even more unhappy with Huo Xi and Huo Nian.
She felt that these two siblings were disrespecting her and disobeying her.
"Let's go, I don't believe it. I'll go in person and they won't even dare to stop me!"
"Mother, mother, please calm down. You are letting people come over indiscriminately, arresting people for interrogation, and searching people's houses. Isn't this proving that Sister Ning and Zhong'er are at fault? How can they not do this?
Resist?"
Mrs. Hou also came to persuade: "Yes, mother, Zhong'er is the eldest son, and Sister Ning is also at the age of marriage. If such a reputation spreads, how can they be good? What about their brothers and sisters in Manfu?
Establishing a foothold in the capital?"
Little Wu glanced at Hou, feeling that Hou was too flattering to the two siblings.
Wanting to see Mrs. Wu's reaction, she saw that she looked dissatisfied. Mrs. Wu pursed her lips and lowered her head slightly.
When Mrs. Wu saw that Mrs. Wu was being persuaded by her son and daughter-in-law, her anger was about to subside. How could she agree?
"Mrs. Madam, this eldest daughter of a girl's family actually hired a guard in the courtyard. This, this is really inappropriate! If it is to be spread, this reputation is even more unworthy. Can this girl in the house still get married? Besides,
, I hired a guard early, but I don’t know why and who I’m guarding against.”
Ms. Hou also had a daughter and was stunned for a moment.
Before Mrs. Tai could say anything, Zhang Fu jumped up.
"Sister-in-law, please shut up. In this mansion, my eldest brother has arranged many guards everywhere, not only to protect the front yard. And even if there are no guards in the backyard, can you just watch the girls get into trouble and not take action? Then in the future, if something happens to your sister-in-law,
, but never call for a guard."
"you!"
Seeing Zhang Fu defending that bitch like this, Mrs. Wu was itching with hatred.
There were many people sitting in the hall, not just people from the Duke's Mansion. Ever since Zhang Fu's death, the Zhang clan's elders had moved into the Duke's Mansion. Today, Mrs. Tai's mother-in-law's family was also here.
At this time, everyone was silent, thinking secretly in their hearts.
When Mrs. Wu saw that the Mrs. Tai was hesitating, she felt that the Mrs. Tai was not reliable at all.
"It seems that some people think that whether the Duke is dead or alive has no impact on them. Only we, mother and son, really want to save the Duke. Since the eldest lady and the prince are under strict security guard, they are not allowed to be searched or interrogated.
, then I have no choice but to lick my face and beg the prince to send some people."
He turned around and motioned to the grandmother beside him.
In this mansion, the madam is the one who makes the decision. She can't pry the madam away or convict those two bastards, so she has no choice but to do it herself.
When those two bastards were brought for interrogation by the prince, she would make them guilty even if they were not guilty.
Then let’s see if Zhang Yuzhong, that bitch, can still hold his position as the heir apparent!
The title of Duke of England was not passed down from the old lady, but earned by the man himself. If it is not passed on to his own flesh and blood, how can it be passed on to the second and third wives?
Push that bitch Zhang Yuzhong into the mud, and then this title will belong to her son.
The Dowager just dismissed the Prince's people. How can the Prince's people interfere again? They have to have people stop Wu's people.
But when he looked up, Wu's people had been stopped by someone and were returning to the hall.
Looking up, she saw her eldest granddaughter walking in from outside. Seeing that she was not confined in the house, but came with people in a swaggering manner, the madam frowned.
Just as she was about to scold her, Huo Xi didn't look at her, raised her legs and stepped across the threshold, walked straight to Mrs. Wu and stood in front of her.
"Do you really want to ask someone from the Prince's Mansion to help with the decision?"
Huo Xi's gaze made Wu couldn't help but want to take a step back. But at the same time, she felt shameful for having such thoughts. She was just a little girl. She didn't know how high the world was. How could she be afraid of her?
He remained motionless and looked back at Huo Xi coldly: "You want your father to die, but I want him to live. Now you are so ambitious. After the death of the Duke, whoever benefits will be seen by anyone with eyes.
You have to come out! I won’t let you succeed. It’s unreasonable to harm others but gain!”
Mrs. Wu spoke with great assurance and gritted her teeth, as if she was eager to save her husband, and most of the people in the hall turned towards her.
Wu is right. The prince has been enthroned. If the Duke dies, who will ascend the title? Who will benefit?
Of course he is the newly returned prince.
"Yes, don't think you have succeeded. If your brother becomes the Duke of the country, you can drive us out. Don't daydream! This is my home and I won't leave!"
Zhang Jie also came and shouted at Huo Xi.
"My father will not die. The emperor has already requested a private doctor. My father will wake up soon!"
Wu glanced at Zhang Jie.
Pulling him aside, he wiped away his tears: "My poor son, what will you do if your father is gone? If you can't be a civil servant, you won't be able to make a living, and your family's property won't be distributed to you. How can you live on?"
.My poor son, it is better to become a monk with his mother."
"Mother!"
When he thought about being nothing in the future and having to become a monk, Zhang Jie threw himself into Wu's arms and burst into tears.
Even the elders of the Zhang family in the hall couldn't bear hearing this and came over to comfort them one after another.
The look in Huo Xi's eyes was full of evil.
Perhaps the Duke should not have brought them back in the first place. Even if the children raised outside are flesh and blood, their hearts will no longer be toward the family, and they will only have their own interests in mind.
So as the old saying goes, if you are not of my race, your heart will be different.
In order to avenge her mother, she even dared to attack her own father. Look, she still smiled when everyone looked at her like this!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Her father is still lying on the bed and he doesn’t know what is going on. He doesn’t know how long he can survive. There is not a single tear in her eyes, and she is still smiling?
The Zhang clan was very dissatisfied. Even the Wang clan frowned.
Huo Xi looked at Wu and really smiled.
Wu's performance was quite good. Not only did she deceive the elders, she also deceived most of the people in the Duke's Mansion. She probably deceived herself as well.
With such acting skills, it would be a pity not to be on stage.
Not wanting to waste any more time talking to her, he turned to look at the Madam: "Where is the Madam? Do you also want the Prince to help with the decision?"
The madam looked at her, uncertain.
Is this eldest granddaughter so calm? Is she truly fearless, or is it something else?
She was still hesitating, but some clan members had already spoken out. Since the government couldn't find out, she should ask the prince for help. The most important thing was to save the country.
The Duke of Guo is in his prime, and with him around, the Zhang family can still be rich and prosperous for decades. But Zhang Yuzhong, the eldest son, has just returned to the palace, and the relationship between Beijing and China has not been cleared up. How can he afford the Duke of Guo?
It is inevitable that the Zhang family will be reduced from a first-rate ducal palace to a third-rate one.
Huo Xi ignored the sounds around her and only looked at the Crown Prince: "I'll ask you again, do you really want the Crown Prince to help with the decision?"
The madam couldn't make up her mind and hesitated. She couldn't figure out what her granddaughter was thinking. She was too calm.
But, that was her son lying on the bed, how could she not want to save him?
There was a lot of discussion in the hall, and even the Tai Madam's natal family, the Wang clan elders, the Tai Madam's brother and nephews were all silent. The Wang family also relied on the British Duke.
As for Zhang Yuzhong, the young prince, I am afraid he doesn't have much affection for the Wang family. The friendship becomes less and less with each generation.
Huo Xi sighed, she had already given her a chance.
