The General's Mansion's greatest reliance is Yuchi Kun. He is the general who protects the country, and Yuchi Changgong's military achievements are far inferior to his.

Moreover, the title of General Guarding the Nation is different from that of a Duke and cannot be inherited by the emperor. Subsequent honors and favors must be earned by descendants themselves.

Fortunately, this mansion was not granted by the emperor. Once Yuchi Kun died, all he had to do was change its name and no longer use the words "Zhen Guo".

Yuchi Jiyue had real feelings for Yuchi Kun, and her eyes instantly turned red when she heard this, "Grandfather, don't talk nonsense, you will live a long life."

Yuchi Kun is indeed old, and he suffered a lot of illnesses during his time on the battlefield. His health is getting worse and worse, and she can't help but think about it.

He did not respond to Yuchi Jiuyue, but ordered him to leave, "Your Majesty, please go back. I really can't hold on any longer. I want to go and rest."

Because of Cheng Chu Xuanhan's apology just now, Yuchi Jiyue wanted to go back with him, and asked tentatively, "Grandfather, I..."

No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Even Yuchi Kun could see that her heart was wavering. Xu naturally understood it better and quickly interrupted her.

Xu found an excuse, "Princess, please accompany the old man and tell him about the exciting story of Princess Yu marrying her maid, and help him to relieve his boredom."

As she spoke, she winked at Yuchi Jiuyue, signaling him to leave.

"Yes, mother." Yuchi Jiuyue swallowed the words on her lips and bowed to Chu Xuanhan, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave!"

Yuchi Jiuyue helped Yuchi Kun out, and Yicui and Yihe also left. Only Xu and Chu Xuanhan were left in the main hall.

Xu couldn't directly order him to leave, so she could only ask politely, "My Lord, do you need me to call the master back from the government office to see you?"

Chu Xuanhan suppressed the anger in his heart and tried his best to maintain a gentle appearance. "No need to trouble you. I will go back first."

Yuchi Kun did not walk far. When he saw Chu Xuanhan and his men leaving, he returned to the main hall with Yuchi Jiuyue, lifted his robe and sat down.

He looked at his only granddaughter and said, "You silly girl, he treated you like this, yet you still wanted to be deceived by his sweet words."

Yuchi Jiyue explained in a low voice, "Your Highness was indeed angry at the time, but he is sincere today, so my granddaughter wants to forgive..."

Yuchi Kun said angrily, "When he is angry, he can doubt you for another woman? How can you survive in the palace in the future?"

Since Chu Xuanhan is willing to break up with Yuchi Jiuyue for Mo Yaohua, there is no guarantee that she will not become arrogant and step on the mistress in the future.

The people under him are also used to changing their attitudes according to the situation, praising the powerful and bullying the weak. In order to curry favor with Mo Yaohua, they will naturally make things difficult for Yuchi Jiuyue.

The women in the palace look noble, but once they fall out of favor, even the palace people dare to bully them. The same is true in the noble families.

Yuchi Jiyue's mind was full of Chu Xuanhan, so he was only hostile to Mo Yaohua, but he still wanted to speak for him, "Grandfather, I..."

Yuchi Kun didn't give her a chance. "He has no sincerity today. The so-called excuse is just because Yihe didn't admit it and he doesn't have enough evidence."

He was already prepared at that time. If Chu Xuanhan wanted to interrogate Yihe and force her to confess, he would go to the palace and ask Emperor Wenzong for an explanation.

As the saying goes, when a person dies, it is like a light going out. He really has less time to live every day now. He just wants to protect his descendants for the last time while he is still alive.

Yuchi Jiuyue restrained her thoughts and dared not say another word for Chu Xuanhan, otherwise, no matter how much Yuchi Kun doted on her, she would be angered.

She changed the subject, "My granddaughter never instigated Yihe to do anything, nor did she offend anyone. Who would want to slander my granddaughter like this?"

Yuchi Kun frowned, "That person is not coming for you, but for the General's Mansion. I told you at the beginning that Prince Qi is not a good match."

Yuchi Jiuyue wanted to marry into Prince Qi's mansion, but she encountered opposition from the very beginning, especially from Yuchi Kun, followed by Yuchi Changgong.

She made an excuse, "But my granddaughter is already married, and it was a marriage granted by His Majesty. I can't divorce her, and it's too late to regret it."

It’s not that it’s too late to regret, but that she hasn’t regretted it yet.

***

Royal Palace, main courtyard study.

Chu Xuanchi and Mo Zhaohua had just finished listening to Shuying's report.

He raised the corner of his mouth with interest, "Oh? Lao Liu didn't take the person back?"

Shuying gave a more detailed report, "Yes, I heard that Ben didn't go there on purpose to pick up Princess Qi..."

Chu Xuanchi chuckled, "It's quite interesting. With this incident, the General's Mansion will definitely have a grudge against Old Six."

Mo Zhaohua was suspicious, "Prince Qi only has one witness, how dare he go to the general's mansion to question him? This is not like his character."

Chu Xuanchi thought about it and said, "This is a situation where you can either advance or retreat. If it was Yihe who did it, he can take the opportunity to attack. If it was not Yihe, he can take the opportunity to pick him up."

"Then why didn't Prince Qi take the person away in the end?" Mo Zhaohua knew very well what Yuchi Jiuyue felt about Chu Xuanhan, and she was easily persuaded.

Chu Xuanchi was happy to see Chu Xuanhan make a wasted trip, "Maybe he was too clever for his own good and forgot the temper of the old general who guards the country."

Mo Zhaohua suddenly realized, "That's true. The old general has a bad temper. When he gets angry, he even dares to scold His Majesty, let alone Prince Qi."

Wuying also laughed at Chu Xuanhan's joke, "After what happened today, it will be even more difficult for Prince Qi to take Princess Qi back, right?"

Chu Xuanchi said: "This is inevitable. In this way, Lao Liu can't even use the excuse that Yuchi Jiyue deliberately delayed time that day."

Mo Zhaohua frowned, "Something is wrong. Prince Qi has always been very calm. Why did he seem so impulsive this time when it comes to Mo Yaohua?"

Shuying guessed, "Maybe it's because he lost his eldest grandson and his beloved was injured, so he lost his mind?"

They were discussing this matter when someone outside reported, "Your Majesty, Princess, your second uncle, Mr. Mo, has arrived with his wife and daughter."

The Prince Yu's Mansion received Mo Tao's visiting card in the morning. When Mo Zhaohua asked Mo Tao to come over, she naturally accepted the visiting card.

"Do you want to meet them, my husband?" Mo Zhaohua was not afraid that Chu Xuanchi would know about her matchmaking. "If you are not interested, I will go and come back quickly."

Chu Xuanchi didn't hesitate at all. "It's okay to meet him. I have nothing to do. Why don't I stay here with Zhao Zhao?"

"Then let them wait for a while. I will talk to my husband about the situation first. The last time I went back to the Shangshu Mansion..." Mo Zhaohua said that he wanted to make connections for Mo Shuhua.

"Oh? Zhao Zhao wants to arrange a marriage for your cousin?" Chu Xuanchi smiled, "Without Zhao Zhao's help, Mo Tao really wouldn't be able to get married."

Shuying was a little confused, "How come I remember that although the second son of Minister Fang Zuo has not yet married, he already has many women in his courtyard?"

Mo Zhaohua once asked him to investigate Fang Tianming. Even though he couldn't remember all the details, he could still vaguely remember some of them.

"Shuying, you and Wuying should go and do other things." Mo Zhaohua didn't need to explain anything to them, but he couldn't hide it from Chu Xuanchi.
