When Xu Chen heard what Duke Xu said, he sneered and said to Duke Xu, "Okay, Duke, there's no need to bring up the past anymore. Can you tell me why you called me here now?"

When Duke Xu heard what Xu Chen said, he suppressed his anger and said to Xu Chen, "I just want to ask what your wife wants to do? Why did she go to the general's mansion?"

When Xu Chen heard what Duke Xu said, he laughed out loud and said to Duke Xu, "So the Duke sent someone to keep an eye on me. Otherwise, how would he know about my wife? Duke, I advise you not to let this happen again. After all, I am an official appointed by the court. If you want His Majesty to know about you, you can continue to keep an eye on me. If not, you'd better pack up your people and things."

When Duke Xu heard Xu Chen's disdainful tone, he became even angrier. He picked up the teacup in his hand and flew towards Xu Chen.

Xu Chen saw that the teacup was about to hit him, so he dodged sideways!

"Pa~" The study room suddenly became quiet, with only Duke Xu breathing heavily, and Xu Chen sneered and sat down aside.

Only the housekeeper was too frightened to speak. After Xu Chen sat down, he asked with a smile, "Duke Xu, are you trying to murder an official appointed by the imperial court?"

Duke Xu was so angry that he said to Xu Chen, "Even if I kill you, what can I do? You are still my son outside. Is there anyone else who can take care of my son?"

Xu Chen clapped his hands and said to Duke Xu, "Son? I control my son? Haha. This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. You did such a shameful thing back then, and you still want me to recognize you as my father? I have told you many times that I have left Duke Xu's mansion, and from now on, I have nothing to do with the Xu mansion. Don't always threaten me with trivial matters. Remember, I will not be threatened by you. Also remember that I will protect your wife, so don't try to target her."

When Duke Xu heard what Xu Chen said, he angrily pointed at Xu Chen and said, "You? You want to break up with me just for a woman."

Xu Chen sneered, stood up, patted the non-existent dirt on his body and said, "You were the first to do something unjust to me, and you still want me to do something righteous?"

Duke Xu was so angry at Xu Chen that he pointed at him and said, "You! You!"

Duke Xu couldn't cover his heart after he finished speaking. The housekeeper saw Duke Xu's expression and quickly supported him and said, "Duke, don't be angry, don't be angry."

Xu Chen sneered at Duke Xu and said, "If there is nothing else in the Forbidden City, I will take my leave first."

After Xu Chen finished speaking, he bowed and left.

As soon as Xu Chen opened the door, he saw Xu Jiaojiao standing at the door. Xu Jiaojiao looked at Xu Chen in surprise and said, "Brother, brother, you are really back."

Xu Chen looked at his sister, put away his serious look, and immediately put on a doting look, and said to Xu Jiaojiao, "Well, yes, but I have to leave."

Xu Jiaojiao looked at Duke Xu inside and found that he gave her a look. Xu Jiaojiao immediately said coquettishly, "I don't want it. You want to leave right after I come back. No, you have to stay with me until the end of dinner before you can leave."

Xu Chen was about to refuse Xu Jiaojiao, but when he saw Xu Jiaojiao's look, the words of refusal couldn't come out of his mouth. After all, this was his sister whom he had loved since childhood, and there was nothing he could refuse.

Xu Chen had no choice but to say to Xu Jiaojiao, "Okay, then I'll have dinner with you!"

Xu Jiaojiao laughed happily and said, "That's great, that's great, big brother is so good, and big brother loves me the most."

After Xu Jiaojiao finished speaking, she looked at Duke Xu in the room again, and when Xu Chen couldn't see, she acted triumphantly towards Duke Xu.

Xu Jiaojiao stepped forward, hugged Xu Chen's arm and said, "Come on, brother, go to my yard and play for a while!"

Xu Chen couldn't persuade Xu Jiaojiao, so he could only let Xu Jiaojiao pull him away!

The housekeeper watched Xu Jiaojiao drag Xu Chen away, and said to Duke Xu, "Duke, what should we do next?"

Duke Xu snorted coldly and said, "Since I can't get the answer I want from him, then I'll get the answer I want from that person. I don't believe that I don't know the answer."

The housekeeper said to Duke Xu in surprise, "The Duke just wanted to...!"

Duke Xu nodded and said to the housekeeper, "Go find someone to bring her here."

The housekeeper said helplessly to Duke Xu, "But...but...!"

Duke Xu said angrily, "But what but? Go quickly."

The housekeeper said to Duke Xu, "I know, but how can I get the person out of the Xu Mansion?"

Duke Xu thought about it and whispered something into the butler's ear. The butler was surprised and said to Duke Xu, "Do you really intend to do this?"

Duke Xu sneered and said, "Of course, how else can we bring that person here? Go ahead."

The housekeeper had no choice but to nod "yes" and leave!

After going out, the butler found an unfamiliar secret guard and said something in the secret guard's ear. The secret guard said "yes" and left!

The housekeeper watched the secret guard leave, sighed and said, "Alas, if the Duke really does this, it seems that the grudge between him and the young master will become bigger and bigger. I hope that the Duke can really bear it by then."

Xufu

Su Yao has been anxious since Xu Chen left, and has been walking around in her yard. The maid beside her saw Su Yao's appearance and said comfortingly, "Madam, don't worry so much. The master was the same when he went to the Duke's Mansion before. Isn't there anything wrong?"

Su Yao nodded and said, "I know this, but I don't know why I feel uneasy this time. I always feel like something is going to happen."

At this time, Uncle Xu came in with a man and said to Su Yao, "Madam, someone is coming from the Duke's Mansion."

Su Yao said to Uncle Xu anxiously, "Did the visitor say anything?"

Uncle Xu said to the person behind him, "Come on, tell Madam what's going on."

The person behind him said to Su Yao, "I am someone close to the young lady. The young lady asked you to come find the lady. The eldest young master was also beaten by the Duke. No matter what, the young lady saw that something was wrong and asked me to come find the lady as soon as possible and ask the lady to go to the Duke's Mansion to help."

When Su Yao heard that Xu Chen was beaten, she didn't care about anything else and quickly said to the person who came, "What was he beaten? Where?"

The man said to Su Yao, "The fight was so severe in the Duke's Mansion that the young master couldn't even stand up. So the young lady asked me to find the lady."

When Su Yao heard that Xu Chen was beaten and couldn't stand up, she was so scared that she couldn't stand steadily. Fortunately, the girl next to her supported Su Yao and said to her, "Madam, don't worry."
