Yi Zhu snorted, "Hmph, what are you talking about? Today at the palace banquet, I begged the princess to take me into the palace, but the princess said she promised to take you into the palace. Isn't this aggrieved?"

Roman rolled his eyes at her in annoyance. "I thought it was nothing. Is it worth crying for? If you want to go, I will let you go. Anyway, the princess will have many opportunities to enter the palace in the future, don't you think so?"

Li Shuangwan smiled and said, "You two sisters should discuss this matter among yourselves."

Yizhu stamped her feet and said, "If the princess doesn't have the sincerity to take me with her, I don't want to go!"

After saying that, he turned around and ran away angrily.

Roman sighed and shook his head: "Look, Princess, how you have spoiled her."

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go."

……

Zhenguo General's Mansion.

Zhu Anhe irritably waved away Xu's hand, "Second sister-in-law, the emperor ordered that only I can enter the palace, so why do you want me to take Miaomiao with me?"

Xu rolled her eyes and said, "I've already begged you so humbly, why won't you give in?"

"I've already said it, the emperor didn't mention taking Miaomiao with him. If I took her, wouldn't that be deceiving the emperor? What is my second brother's wife going to do during the New Year?"

"Oh, if you don't want to bring Miaomiao, just say so directly. What are you talking about the emperor? Today is New Year's Eve, and the palace is holding a family banquet. Miaomiao will enter the Hengwang Mansion as a concubine on the sixth day of the first lunar month. She is also the daughter-in-law of the Ling family, and she will also be the daughter-in-law of the Ling family. What's wrong with you taking her? You, an outsider, can enter the palace for the banquet, so why can't Miaomiao, the royal daughter-in-law, be allowed to go?"

Zhu Anhe crossed his arms and snorted, "How dare you bring this up, my second sister-in-law? You want me to tell the emperor how Miao Miao became Ling Heng's concubine? Since ancient times, there has never been a case where a sister would eagerly climb into her brother-in-law's bed and become a concubine within two months of the wedding!"

Xu was so angry that her eyes widened: "Sister-in-law, please speak politely. What do you mean Miaomiao climbed into her brother-in-law's bed? Who can your daughter blame for not being able to keep her own man? Besides, didn't she marry Ling Heng on her own without any shame? How dare she...ah!"

Before Xu could finish her words, Zhu Anhe slapped her hard in the face: "No matter what my daughter says, she was married to Ling Heng openly with three matchmakers and six betrothals. She is the mistress of the Heng Palace. What does your daughter count as?"

"You, fine, Zhu Anhe, if you dare to hit me, I will fight you! No matter how bad my daughter is, she is still half the master of the Hengwang Mansion, not much inferior to your daughter!"

Xu pounced over like a mad woman, but was kicked in the stomach by Zhu Anhe and flew away. Wanwan was right, the second branch was greedy and had become more and more excessive in the past two years.

This home scores!

Otherwise, enjoying everything that the eldest branch of the family has fought for with their lives, while still scheming against them in every way, is really not a good person.

It belongs to the General Guardian's Mansion, and his second branch can never take a single needle or thread from it.

Li Huaiyi came in at this time. He was so angry that his beard was about to fly when he heard his wife's blunt words outside.

Now he is just a Langzhong of the Ministry of Works without any real power. He still hopes that when his elder brother returns to the court after winning the victory, he can also benefit from it and get a promotion. It would be best if he can fill the vacancy of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

At this time, this stupid woman actually started quarreling with Zhu. How stupid!

Li Huaiyi picked up Xu from the ground and slapped her twice in the face: "Xu, who allowed you to leave the yard! Come, take this woman back to me. No one is allowed to let her go without my order!"

Xu cried, "Li Huaiyi, you are such a heartless person. Today is New Year's Eve, the New Year's Day, and you still want to lock me up. You are not a human being!"

"Drag her away!" Li Huaiyi shouted angrily, and the servants immediately dragged Xu away.

Li Huaiyi took a deep breath and bowed his hands to apologize to Zhu Anhe: "Sister-in-law, Xu is crazy, don't bother with her. I'm here to apologize to you on her behalf."

Zhu Anhe only glanced at him indifferently: "It's getting late, second brother, go back. It's time for me to go to the palace."

"Okay, I've already arranged for the carriage."

"No need, Wanwan is already on the way and will be here soon."

Seeing Zhu Anhe's gloomy face, Li Huaiyi shut up.

Outside the door, Li Shuangxi's mouth curled up coldly. If she hadn't dragged her broken arm and begged her father to bring her to pay respects to her aunt, how could he have seen Xu's face.

Sooner or later, my father will hand over the management of this huge General's Mansion to Aunt Tong.

When Xu was dragged out of the door by the servants, she saw Li Shuangxi with a mocking look on her face.

Xu suddenly broke free from the servant's hand, rushed to Li Shuangxi and stretched out her hand to scratch her face: "You and your mother are not good people, you are all vixens!"

"Mother, how can you say that about your daughter?"

"Bah, what kind of daughter are you? My Xu's two..."

She could no longer hear what Mrs. Xu said afterwards. Li Huaiyi, who was about to leave, kicked her in the chest and said, "Are they all dead? Drag her away!"

After Xu was thrown into her own yard, Li Huaiyi sent out all the servants in the house and only kept a maid who had served her for many years.

In the Haitang Courtyard, Zhu Anhe took a deep breath, picked up the tea on the table and drank it slowly.

Xu's words "What kind of daughter?" reminded her of what happened nineteen years ago.

Xu gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Since ancient times, giving birth to twins has been considered unlucky.

What’s more, the Imperial Observatory also told the late emperor that prophecy that year. After that, the late emperor ordered the killing of many newborn babies, and many pregnant women in the capital were put under surveillance.

The Xu family is no exception.

However, Xu was from Jiangnan and had a petite figure. Her body while pregnant with twins looked almost the same as that of a woman pregnant with a single baby.

About eight or nine months later, the emperor, who had been in good health, somehow rolled off the dragon bed one night.

Even the eunuchs who were serving as guard outside the door did not notice it. It was not until the next morning when it was time for the morning court that the emperor did not get up. The chief eunuch went in to call for help and only then did he see the late emperor lying on the ground. Unfortunately, the emperor was already stiff and even had corpse spots on his body.

At that time, many eunuchs in the palace were implicated and many died.

However, during the period of mourning for the late emperor, Xu gave birth to twin boys, a boy and a girl.

Li Huaiyi and his wife were horrified. If this matter were to be exposed, they and their two children would surely die.

The two midwives also knew about this.

Li Huaiyi was a cruel and ruthless person, and he came up with a vicious plan to get rid of the two of them.

So they used the excuse that the two midwives handled the baby improperly, causing heavy bleeding in the mother, which not only saved her life but also left her with a serious illness, and immediately beat the two to death with sticks.

Once the two midwives died, the problem of what to do with the two babies became a problem.
