After the talent competition ended, the ladies from each family went to the backyard to tidy up their appearance with the help of the maids.

Xie Chongan walked to another window in the attic, looked at Xu Mingyue passing under his nose, and secretly tightened his hand on the window coffin.

At this moment, Xie Chongan thought of the reunion with the Deshui County Yamen, the word concubinage that came out of his mouth, and Xu Mingqing's sudden and violent approach after hearing that he was scornful of Xiao Yaowang.

The disaster relief money that was demanded, half of the account books that fell from the sky, Sun Yicheng who suddenly became rebellious, the evidence left under his fingernails, the director of the Salt and Iron Bureau of Nanjun died suddenly.

This one-link strategy cut off all Xie Chongan's capable officers in Nanjun, allowing Nanjun to completely escape Xie Chongan's control.

All this was just Xu Mingqing's revenge for teasing Xu Mingyue.

Xu Mingqing has never worried about all this being discovered. Xu Mingqing has been waiting for the day when the truth will be revealed.

Xu Mingqing was showing his claws towards Xie Chongan. Xu Mingqing was warning Xie Chongan not to have any thoughts about Xu Mingyue, and not to play any tricks in front of Xu Mingyue.

Nowadays, there is no county guard in Nanjun. Xu Mingqing, who is popular among the people, will be someone Xie Chongan cannot hurt as long as he stays in Nanjun for one day.

And the other half of the salt and iron bureau's account book that has never been seen must be in Xu Mingqing's hands now.

Not only did Xie Chongan deliver Nanjun to Xu Mingqing's hands, he was also counterattacked by Xu Mingqing.

As soon as Xu Mingqing was in Nanjun, he Xie Chongan could not arbitrarily frame Xu Mingyue.

If Xu Mingqing is transferred back to the capital by Xie Chongan, the account book held by Xu Mingqing will become the biggest stumbling block for Xie Chongan to ascend to the East Palace.

Xie Chongan, who had lived for twenty-three years, felt for the first time that his life was powerless.

But Xu Mingqing alone could, under the severe disaster situation, cause him heavy losses one after another, but never suspected Xu Mingqing?

No, there is definitely more than one Xu Mingqing.

Xie Chongan thought of the man standing beside Xu Mingyue outside the inn.

Who is that person?

What role does that person play in this plot?

Is their purpose really just to protect Xu Mingyue?

And is Xie Chongan really going to lose the battle for the heir without a fight because someone controls his life?

Looking at Xie Chongan's cold face, Xie Chongyu also walked to the window and looked at the goose-yellow figure: "Brother, a woman like Princess Mingyue should indeed be the wife of the East Palace."

"My royal brother failed to get it earlier, and now my brother is here to help you make up for this regret."

Xie Chongan was never a good brother, and Xie Chongyu was naturally not a good brother either.

Xie Chongan himself suffered a big loss from Xu Mingqing, and he didn't mind that Xie Chongyu was also dealt with by the Zhenguo Government.

"Chongyu, the emperor would like to advise you. Even if the Xu family is not as good as before, it is still a biting beast." He walked towards Xie Chongyu, put his hand on Xie Chongyu's shoulder and patted him hard:

"Xu Mingyue, you can't handle it."

Xie Chongan's words were naturally not meant to comfort Xie Chongyu. Over the years, Xie Chongyu wanted to grab anything Xie Chongan had his eye on.

The less Xie Chongan doesn't want to give it, the more Xie Chongyu wants it.

"Haha." Xie Chongyu smiled very casually and said: "The prince that the Xu family paid attention to back then was me, Xu Mingyue should marry me."

"Brother, don't say this thing is bad just because you can't get it."

Xie Chongan turned around and walked steadily down the stairs. The warning words reached Xie Chongyu's ears word for word:

"Chongyu, the emperor's brother is the eldest son. Don't think about fighting for something that doesn't belong to you. You know, the emperor's patience has never been good."

Xie Chongyu leaned on the window coffin, looking at Xie Chongan's leaving figure, with a very innocent smile on his lips, and excitement began to grow in his eyes.

What about the eldest son?

What about brothers?

His father could kill his brother, so couldn't he?

Xie Chongyu, a government official who has no power but is still feared by his imperial brother, is really indispensable.

Pinting, a noblewoman from each mansion, walked into the main room, kowtowed to the two people on the throne, and then at the same time bowed to Mrs. Yu:

"My dearest daughter, I would like to express my regards to the Queen and my ancestors. I have met Mrs. Chen."

"No courtesy, you've worked hard today, just sit back and go."

After hearing these words, all the noble ladies stood up and sat down behind their elders in a neat manner.

As soon as he sat down, all kinds of eyes turned to Xu Mingyue one after another.

If resentment could be turned into a knife, Xu Mingyue, who regarded this room full of noble ladies as her foil, would definitely die here at this moment.

Xu Mingyue's way of pretending to hide her strength caught them off guard.

From today on, everyone in the capital should regard Xu Mingyue as their enemy.

Xu Mingyue found this hostility amusing, as if she, Xu Mingyue, didn't hide her clumsiness, they would win.

It was as if these people would believe Xu Mingyue when she said that she was good at playing the piano.

The reason these people are in such a mess today is simply because their skills are inferior to others and their intentions are not pure.

She, Xu Mingyue, is not a good person, and naturally she cannot be regarded as such a noble girl in this room.

With a smile on her face, Zhao Ying brought up today's highlight:

"The girls from all the prefectures performed very well today and made the ancestors happy. Each of them was rewarded with a pair of tourmaline velvet flowers."

All the girls stood up one after another and saluted Zhao Ying: "Thank you, Queen."

The ancestor of the Zhao family felt more and more happy when he heard the crisp sound, like the oriole coming out of the valley. With a wave of his hand, a maid brought out the large plate of jewelry.

Smiling eyes looked at the people sitting down, and finally landed on Zhao Muyun's head. Mrs. Zhao asked: "Look, everyone, which girl does this lottery belong to?"

If the Yu family hadn't been here today, the ancestors of the Zhao family would have given the jackpot directly to Zhao Muyun.

Even though Xu Mingyue's guqin piece was also very good, in terms of pure technique, Zhao Muyun was indeed slightly better than Xu Mingyue.

But since the Yu family is here, Mrs. Zhao naturally can't rely on her old man to make this decision. She needs this servant's wife to make this decision for her.

Mrs. Yu didn't give anyone a chance to answer, and looked in the direction of Lin Yan: "Yan'er, is this the little girl you raised?"

Lin Yan patted Xu Mingyue, and Xu Mingyue stood up and walked to Mrs. Yu, saying, "Ming Yue has met Madam. She hasn't gone to your mansion to worship her for several days since she returned to the capital. It's because Mingyue is unfilial."

Mrs. Yu smiled and shook her head, feeling that this little girl was really striking, and her appearance matched that of the lifeless brat from her family.

Since the Yu family was entrusted by others, they must let Xu Mingyue win completely.

Without further greetings, Mrs. Yu smiled and asked, "Little girl, all the women in this house have brought such talents, how come you can play such a war song?"
