After the marriage, the disabled war king was spoiled by me

Chao Xingzhi slowly stood up and bowed to Du Yunsheng and Du Yuwei: "Miss Du, Miss Du, I'm sorry. I have a few words to ask you."

Du Yunsheng smiled and responded calmly: "Master Chao, what can I do for you?"

Chao Xingzhi looked at Du Yunsheng with complicated eyes, and then said: "I have heard that Miss Du is both talented and beautiful, and I wanted to see her. After seeing her today, I find that she is indeed as famous as her reputation says."

Du Yunsheng sneered in his heart, thinking that Chao Xingzhi did not really appreciate him, but had other intentions.

She said calmly, "Lord Chao, you are overpraising me. Yun Sheng doesn't deserve it."

Chao Xingzhi turned to look at Du Yuwei, with a flash of surprise in his eyes: "Second Miss Du is also very beautiful. I wonder if I would have the honor to invite you two to dinner?"

Du Yuwei blushed and lowered her head. Du Yunsheng was alert, thinking that Chao Xingzhi's behavior must be suspicious.

"Lord Chao, I am very grateful for your hospitality. However, we have important matters to attend to, so I'm afraid we can't stay long." Du Yunsheng politely declined.

A trace of disappointment flashed across Chao Xingzhi's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure: "In that case, I will not force you. However, I have something to ask of you, I wonder if Miss Du can agree to it?"

Du Yunsheng frowned and looked at Chao Xingzhi warily: "Master Chao, please speak."

Chao Xingzhi said in a deep voice: "I want to borrow something from Miss Du. I believe Miss Du will not refuse."

Du Yunsheng's heart tightened, but he tried to remain calm: "Yunsheng is willing to serve, but I don't know what Lord Chao needs?"

Chao Xingzhi said slowly: "This prince would like to borrow the 'Xuan Yue Ling' from Miss Du."

Du Yunsheng's face suddenly changed. She didn't expect Chao Xingzhi to know the existence of the "Xuan Yue Ling". She knew the importance of the "Xuan Yue Ling" and she must not let it fall into Chao Xingzhi's hands.

"Sir Chao, Yunsheng didn't know about the 'Xuan Yue Ling'. Please investigate carefully." Du Yunsheng tried his best to explain.

Chao Xingzhi sneered: "Miss Du, you don't have to quibble anymore. I already have enough evidence. As long as you hand over the 'Xuan Yue Ling', I will not pursue the matter any further."

Du Yunsheng gritted her teeth. A head-on confrontation would only make Chao Xingzhi more aggressive. She took a deep breath and said calmly, "Master Chao, Yunsheng is willing to hand over the 'Xuan Yue Ling', but please agree to one condition."

Chao Xingzhi's eyes flashed with doubt, but he soon regained his composure: "Miss Du, please speak."

Du Yunsheng said in a deep voice: "Lord Chao must promise not to interfere in anything in our Du family from now on."

Chao Xingzhi was silent for a moment, weighed the pros and cons, and finally nodded and agreed: "I promise you."

Du Yunsheng nodded gently, took out a uniquely shaped token from his arms, and handed it to Chao Xingzhi. Chao Xingzhi took the token, and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, Du Yuwei suddenly broke free from Du Yunsheng's hand and rushed to Chao Xingzhi: "Sister, don't give it to him!"

Chao Xingzhi's eyes turned cold and he was about to take action, but Du Yunsheng instantly stood in front of his sister.

Du Yunsheng stared at Chao Xingzhi closely, and said firmly: "Master Chao, the Xuan Yue Order has been handed over to you. I hope you will keep your promise."

Chao Xingzhi smiled lightly and put the token into his arms. The greed in his eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a hint of pride. He glanced at Du Yunsheng and Du Yuwei, and said with a slight smile: "Miss Du, Miss Du, you must remember that it was you who took the initiative to hand over the Xuan Yue Token."

Du Yuwei was so angry that her face turned purple. She stared at Chao Xingzhi with angry flames in her eyes. She wanted to refute, but Du Yunsheng gently pulled her back and stopped her from speaking.

Du Yunsheng took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart. She looked at Chao Xingzhi and said calmly, "Master Chao, our Du family will have nothing to do with you from now on. Please respect yourself."

Chao Xingzhi smiled lightly and turned away. His steps were calm, as if he had everything under control.

Du Yuwei looked at Chao Xingzhi's departing back, her eyes full of worry: "Sister, are we really going to give him the Xuan Yue Order? That belongs to our Du family."

Du Yunsheng patted his sister's hand gently, his eyes firm: "Yuwei, although the Xuanyue Order is important, the future of the Du family is more important. We can't affect the long-term development of the Du family because of a momentary anger."

Du Yuwei looked at her sister silently, with a hint of understanding in her eyes.

Chao Xingzhi left the Shangshu Mansion, but his heart was full of ups and downs. He had never thought that he could get the Xuanyue Order so easily.

This token means that his position in the court will be more stable and may even threaten the emperor's position.

He sneered in his heart, "Du family, do you think you can get rid of my control by handing over the Xuanyue Order? You underestimate me too much."

After returning to the palace, Chao Xingzhi immediately summoned his trusted aides to discuss how to use the Xuan Yue Order to further consolidate his position.

At this moment, a figure quietly approached them. It was the servant of the Du family. He hurried over with a panicked look on his face: "Miss, Miss, it's bad, Lord Chao..."

Du Yunsheng and Du Yuwei's hearts tightened, and their expressions instantly became solemn. They stared at the servant closely, their eyes full of worry and uneasiness.

"What happened to Lord Chao?" Du Yunsheng's voice trembled slightly. She clenched her fists tightly, trying to hide her nervousness.

The servant swallowed and said in a panic, "Master Chao suddenly fainted in the study and has not woken up yet."

Hearing this news, Du Yuwei couldn't help but exclaimed, and she looked at Du Yunsheng anxiously, her eyes full of help. Although Du Yunsheng was also very worried, she knew that she had to stay calm at this time.

"Let's go check it out right away!" Du Yunsheng said, turning around and walking towards the study. Du Yuwei followed closely behind her, and the two of them walked quickly all the way to the study.

In the study, Chao Xingzhi was lying on the ground, pale and unconscious. Du Yunsheng and Du Yuwei looked at the scene in front of them, their hearts filled with grief and helplessness.

"Brother Chao, wake up!" Du Yunsheng knelt beside Chao Xingzhi and shook his body vigorously, but Chao Xingzhi did not respond at all.

Du Yuwei couldn't help crying, she held Chao Xingzhi's hand tightly, tears falling on the back of his hand. She was filled with despair, not knowing how to face this sudden blow.

At this moment, a servant hurried in with an envelope in his hand and handed it to Du Yunsheng: "Miss, this is what Lord Chao gave me before he fell into a coma and asked me to give it to you."

Du Yunsheng took the envelope, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes. She opened the envelope, and the contents inside made her stunned.

The letter read: "Yun Sheng, I know I don't have much time left, but I am still worried about you and Yu Wei. I know I am sorry for you, but I really have no choice. I hope you can forgive me, take good care of Yu Wei, and let her live a happy life. As for me, let me go in peace."

Looking at the contents of the letter, Du Yunsheng's heart was filled with grief and anger. She held the letter tightly, with a flash of determination in her eyes.
