After binding the mistress system, raise cubs and train husbands in the mansion

"Oh? Tell me more carefully."

Although Yun Zhihan had heard Tongzi's general account, she didn't know many details.

"Mother, I heard from the people that when Du Yulang invaded the Southern Kingdom, he built a wall while sending a 2,000-man army to attack the Southern Kingdom."

"But the targets of their attack were not the soldiers of the Southern Kingdom, but the common people."

"People? Why would it be people?" Yun Zhihan was puzzled. Isn't this just adding fuel to the fire? Isn't Du Yulang afraid of death?

"I don't know where Du Yulang got the news from, but he knew that the Princess of the Southern Kingdom was hidden among the people to conceal her identity."

"And then?" She didn't dare to think further. Du Yulang was even worse than an animal!

"Then..." Bo Chen hesitated for a moment, "The princess was bullied, and it was the two thousand soldiers led by Du Yulang who bullied her..."

He couldn't utter the last two words.

Yun Zhihan's hands trembled slightly. Even though she didn't see it with her own eyes, such horrifying news still made her feel hatred.

"Is the princess still alive?"

"She is still alive, but she has lost her mind. My son has learned that the princess has been locked up in the palace and is never allowed to leave."

Yun Zhihan nodded, she seemed to understand something, "So, Du Yulang used this as a threat to force the Southern Kingdom to sign a truce?"

"Yes." Bo Chen continued, "Not only that, Du Yulang also kidnapped the little prince."

"In short, he didn't go to fight at all, he went to plunder. The emperor of the Southern Kingdom was forced to sign a truce, but the entire royal family and the people hated the Great Zhou for a single moment."

"Okay, write this down in a letter and give it to the Emperor and the Crown Prince at the thank-you banquet in two days."

Yun Zhihan didn't want to listen anymore. This was undoubtedly a shame for the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Yes! Mother. But I have no evidence. Will the Emperor and the Crown Prince believe it?"

"Chen'er, this is not something you need to worry about. You just need to report the news truthfully. The rest will be handled by the emperor. Believe it or not, it is not up to us to decide."

"My son understands."

After a while, Bo Chen left and Tongzi brought news.

"Hanhan, Prince Fenyang is about to take action."

"Oh? When?"

"On the day of the thank-you banquet. Some of the Xie family's servants will go to Yunsheng Restaurant to help. At the same time, a few deadpools will dress up as guards and sneak into the Xie mansion."

"All right. It looks like the prince's elite troops can finally be put to use."

"Don't worry, Hanhan. Tongzi will never let you get into danger."

But Yun Zhihan was not worried about herself, she was worried about her two daughters, especially Bai Jin. She had always been restless and she must bring them both with her that day.

……

On the day of the thank-you banquet.

"Congratulations, Minister Xie, on your promotion."

"Mr. Chen, you are too kind. I am just lucky."

"Thank you, Minister, you are too modest. I believe in the emperor's judgment."

"Thank you, Master Chen, for your appreciation. Please come in."

Immediately afterwards, Master Shi also walked in.

"Xie Boyuan meets Master Shi."

"Thank you, Shangshu, for not having to be so polite. This is a small gift from me. I hope you will accept it."

"Thank you, Master. There are so many people here today, so I'm afraid I may not be able to take good care of you. Please bear with me, Master."

"It's okay, Minister Xie, just go ahead, I can take care of myself."

"Please come in!"

Seeing that most people had arrived, Bai Yuan called Shuanghua and Jinshang over.

"Young Master!"

"There are many people here today, so there must be no mistakes with the dishes and drinks. All dishes on the table must be tested for poison before being allowed to eat."

"Yes! Master."

"Go and get busy." Xie Baiyuan continued to entertain ministers in the lobby.

His mother especially reminded him to be wary of people with ill intentions. If poisoning or murder occurred at the thank-you banquet, his position would be in jeopardy.

Therefore, Bai Yuan was also particularly cautious. He dispatched a hundred elite soldiers from the imperial guards led by Bai Chen to surround the Yunsheng Restaurant, and no outsiders were allowed to get close.

Moreover, today, except for the women in the Xie family’s kitchen, no other women, including young ladies from aristocratic families, are allowed to enter the restaurant.

Mother must have given us a special warning, as there are always some young ladies from aristocratic families who have ill intentions. If something scandalous happens in a restaurant, the Xie family will not be able to escape the blame.

However, just as he had made all the arrangements, Lord Xu walked in with his little daughter.

Bai Yuan immediately stopped him, "Master Xu."

"Minister Xie is now a popular figure around the emperor and the prince. I will still rely on you in the future."

Although he said this, he didn't even smile, and it was obvious that he was saying one thing and thinking another.

But the girl around Lord Xu is very polite.

"My daughter Xu Yuanyin greets Minister Xie."

Bai Yuan's face looked very unhappy. He had already told them not to bring female relatives. Why didn't Lord Xu understand?

Although his position is higher than Lord Xu, he is a new official after all. Moreover, this is a thank-you banquet. Wouldn't it be bad if he fell out with them?

"Miss Xu, I'm sorry, women are not allowed to enter this thank-you banquet. Please ask Master Xu to see your daughter off."

As soon as the words fell, Lord Xu's face immediately fell. This was the best opportunity for his daughter to curry favor with the prince. How could he let her leave? Did I give him face?

"Thank you, Minister. I brought my daughter out to play today. If I let her go back, I will be worried. I hope you can be flexible."

He has given him enough face, so don't be ungrateful.

But Xie Boyuan was very resolute and explained, "Master Xu, except for the servants, no young lady from an official family entered or left Yunsheng Restaurant today."

"If Lord Xu is worried about your daughter's safety, I can give you two choices."

"First, let Miss Xu go to the kitchen. I will arrange for someone to take care of her. Second, I will send the Imperial Guards to escort your daughter back home. Lord Xu, please choose one."

This Xie Baiyuan really doesn't give him any face at all. Well, he will wait and complain to the emperor and the prince in a moment.

Just as the two were in a stalemate, Eunuch Huang shouted, "The Emperor has arrived!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"

"Your humble servant greets His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Everyone, please stand up. The Crown Prince and I are here today as guests only. My dear ministers, please do not be too reserved. Just follow the etiquette."

"Yes! Your Majesty."

The prince was walking forward and his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a woman. The woman smiled at him and Murong Yan instantly felt bad.

"Master Xu, who is this?"

"Your Highness, this is my daughter Xu Yuanyin."

"Xu Yuanyin meets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Ah."

Lord Xu saw the opportunity and immediately complained, "Your Highness, Minister Xie did not allow me to enter. Please judge for me."

Xie Boyuan felt helpless, but fortunately his mother had reminded him. At this moment, he felt that this Miss Xu was here to scam him. So he told the prince the whole story.

"Your Highness, that's what happened."
