Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

"Yueyaer respects you so much, but what about you? You treat her coldly. You never know how many times Yueyaer has cried because of you!" Nu Dahai changed the subject and began to speak up for his little lover.

"Oh! Respect? Her respect means hooking up with you to destroy my family? Her respect means causing chaos in our family? Her respect means causing my son and husband to become alienated from me?"

"I can't bear such respect!"

Yan Ji hadn't been so aggressive for a long time. Yan Ji, who had always been virtuous and kind, suddenly felt comfortable physically and mentally. Why should she endure it? Tolerance means letting those heartless people hurt her unscrupulously.

"Yan Ji, what's wrong with you? You were not like this before. You were beautiful and kind back then, but now you are aggressive and hateful." Nu Dahai looked at Yan Ji with great sorrow.

Yan Ji sneered and no longer felt pained by Nu Dahai's accusations.

"Nudahai, don't forget, I am from the Irgen clan."

This sentence left Nu Dahai speechless, and he just glared with a red face.

Yes, Yan Ji’s surname is Irgen, and she is a direct descendant. The current head of the clan is still her brother Irgen Juelu Altai.

Now that all the direct descendants of the family have been sent to other places, Nu Dahai has become arrogant and feels that Yan Ji is isolated and helpless.

Yan Ji's words seemed to remind Nu Dahai of the fear of being dominated by his brother-in-law.

In fact, although Altai was angry with his brother-in-law Nu Dahai for not fighting for his country, he was still courteous to him because of Yan Ji's relationship. He just didn't expect that Nu Dahai always felt that they were oppressing him.

Yan Ji looked at the timid Nu Dahai with disappointment. If Nu Dahai could live up to his expectations, she would give up but she would not regret marrying him.

But now Nuda is weak but strong overseas, and she wonders if her eyes were covered by an unknown object back then.

"Nudahai, go back! By the way, my brother will be returning to Beijing soon to report on his work, so you should think carefully about how to explain it to him!"

It's not that Yan Ji doesn't have the capital to bully the weak. She has just always abided by the code of conduct for women and treated Nu Dahai wholeheartedly, which made Nu Dahai's heart grow bigger and bigger.

Compared to Princess Xinyue, who has no father or mother but only a title, Yan Ji's family is more powerful.

Nuda Haihun left in a daze. Altai was not someone who was easy to deal with. If he knew what he had done, there would be no way to resolve the matter peacefully.

Nu Dahai felt fear for the first time in a long time, but when he thought of Xinyue who relied on him wholeheartedly, he felt full of courage and motivation.

Yan Ji sat in the chair for a long time, and it would be over soon.

Altai was the governor of Shandong at the time. During his tenure, he exempted taxes, dredged rivers, and avoided floods, which earned him the appreciation of Emperor Qianlong.

This year, Altai returns to Beijing to report on his work.

Altai, who was on his way back to Beijing, had no idea how big a "surprise" his good brother-in-law would give him after returning to Beijing.

"Father, are we going to visit my aunt?" Irgen Juelu Fuxiang is Altai's youngest daughter. She is thirteen years old this year. She has a quirky personality and is Altai's favorite.

Fuxiang's personality is somewhat similar to that of the unmarried Yanji, so Altai favors her more.

"Of course, you have to be polite when you go."

"Got it!" Fu Xiang wrinkled her nose, snorted softly, and returned to the carriage.

She likes her aunt very much, but doesn't like her cousins.

Altai was also looking forward to seeing his sister whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Although Yan Ji is now the mother of two children, in Altai's heart Yan Ji is still his most beloved sister.

After returning to Beijing, Altai did not go to Tatala Mansion first, but settled down in the old house first.

"Master, Zhang Xietai wants to see you."

Zhang Xietai?

Altai was a little surprised to see Zhang Zhaogui.

He knew Altai, who used to be a farmhand in their house. He didn't expect that he had become a big shot now with his own success.

Altai originally thought that Zhang Zhaogui was here to make connections. After all, ability is one thing, and connections are another.

However, Altai does not reject this idea. More friends mean more paths, and supporting capable people is also an investment.

"Lord Ilgen."

"Lord Zhang, how are you?" Altai said with a hearty smile, revealing the heroic demeanor of a military general.

Don't despise the young because they are poor.

Who would have known that the farmhand who worked so hard and was bullied in Irgen Prefecture would now become a prominent figure.

Altai was receiving the guests while secretly complaining. Unlike his brother-in-law, who looked handsome but was actually useless and had been living off his savings for so many years.

But on the surface, Altai still gave face.

"I heard that you were in Beijing today, so I came to visit you. I'm sorry to bother you."

"Have a heart."

Altai laughed heartily. He didn't expect that Zhang Zhaogui, despite his burly appearance, was still nostalgic. Not bad.

Both the host and the guests enjoyed the conversation.

After seeing Zhang Zhaogui off, Altai's face immediately darkened.

Smart people speak in a simple way. Although he didn't say it explicitly, I already knew that his useless brother-in-law might have caused trouble again.

"Somebody come!"

"Master." The old butler came in to take orders.

"Check it for me! What did Nu Dahai do?"

"Master... I know." The old butler looked embarrassed. The affairs between Nu Dahai and Xinyue have been a hot topic recently.

In other words, Altai had just returned to Beijing and knew nothing.

"What's going on?" Altai asked in a deep voice.

The old butler talked in detail about the romantic affair between Nu Dahai and Xinyue.

For example, Nu Dahai was so angry for the beauty he loved that he publicly accused Yan Ji of being jealous.

For example, Yan Ji originally warmly entertained Xinyue, but unexpectedly her home was robbed.

For another example, these two people often show affection to each other in public without caring about their face at all.

Altai was furious when he heard this.

Why is Nu Dahai becoming more and more out of touch as he gets older? Does he really think he is dead?

"Go and invite Nu Dahai to come over for a gathering."

"Yes."

After hearing that Altai had returned to Beijing, Nudahai was distracted that day.

Xinyue sensitively sensed Nu Dahai's uneasiness.

"Nudahai, are you feeling unwell?"

Nu Dahai was very touched by Xinyue's caring words.

But when he thought about that reckless man from Altai returning to Beijing, he felt uncomfortable all over.

Sure enough, what was supposed to come finally came.

Before Nu Dahai could say anything, he heard someone outside the palace asking for a meeting.

"what happened?"

"Reporting to the Lord, it is the steward of the Irgen Mansion who has arrived."

Nu Dahai's heart tightened. The fact that Altai came to the palace to call for help meant that he already knew about his affairs.

Xinyue asked curiously, "Who is Yilgenfu? Do I know him?"

She didn't understand why they suddenly came here since she seemed to have never had any contact with anyone from the Irgen family.

She didn't notice the pale face of Nu Dahai beside her.
