When Prime Minister Xu saw Xu Haoran coming back, he was stunned.

The princess clearly said that she wanted Xu Haoran and he would never appear again in the future.

Even if he appears again, he will be her shirenress, appearing in a brand new identity.

Xu Haoran is completely dead.

What is going on now? He was actually named General of Loyalty by the emperor, and his position is equal to his.

"What?! The Emperor gave you Fukang Garden?"

Prime Minister Xu was shocked and couldn't believe that his son had caught the emperor's eye.

At this moment, Prime Minister Xu was a little confused.

Looking at Xu Haoran, the eldest son, he doubted his decision for the first time.

He devoted all his energy to cultivating the Youran siblings, hoping that they would succeed, bring honor to the family, and bring him face.

But the two siblings whom he didn't value did it easily without relying on him.

Looking at his son's cold expression, Prime Minister Xu finally realized that his son had also become alienated from him.

Prime Minister Xu stood there in a daze as he watched his son pass by him with an expressionless face.

"master!"

The housekeeper was a smart man and knew clearly that his master was not pleasing either side and was unpopular on either side.

Prime Minister Xu was still looking at Xu Haoran's back, and murmured: "Butler, have I done anything wrong these years?"

"The brothers and sisters I had high hopes for are all hopeless, while the brothers and sisters I looked down upon have taken the positions I look up to."

"Now Madam and Youran are arguing every day over the dowry I prepared for the Queen, and these siblings are ignoring me."

"What on earth has Benxiang done in these years?"

The Prime Minister returned to his room as if he had lost his soul, sat on the dressing table and looked at himself in the mirror.

I remembered the scene when I first met the mother of those two children when I was young.

At that time, Rou'er already had a fiancé, and he wanted her to fall in love with him wholeheartedly.

He personally led people to kill her entire family, and then appeared as a savior. Sure enough, Rouer fell in love with him.

In the past few years, they had been in love, and he was full of joy for his two children.

But the good times didn't last long, and Rou'er discovered that one of the people who killed her entire family was his subordinate.

As a result, they began to suspect him and even wanted to kill him.

He could forgive her for killing him, but he would never allow her to escape, so he imprisoned her.

He was imprisoned for more than ten years.

He lied to others that she was dead, and then in order to make her jealous, he married Wu, who was helpful to him.

Later, somehow, everything changed. He began to listen to Mrs. Wu and ignored the two children.

He even regarded the two children as bargaining chips, bargaining chips to force Rouer, and stepping stones to get to the top.

Now, looking back, he was not only wrong over the past decade, but perhaps he was wrong from the very beginning.

He shouldn't have used such extreme means to bring Rou'er to him.

A fair and honest pursuit may not necessarily make Rouer fall in love with him.

Wrong, wrong, these things were wrong from the beginning.

Taking out the key to the secret passage, Prime Minister Xu walked in.

When Zhang Yuerou saw the person coming, she immediately became defensive and looked at him with vigilance.

Seeing the person he once loved now looking at him like a hedgehog, Prime Minister Xu smiled self-deprecatingly.

Sitting outside the cage where she was imprisoned, Prime Minister Xu did not say a word, just quietly looking at the person he had loved for half his life.

Zhang Yuerou didn't know what he was planning and stared at him.

Having been locked up here for all these years, what she hated most was that he used his two children to force her to commit herself to him.

Every touch from this person made her feel sick.

Seeing her expression, Prime Minister Xu smiled self-deprecatingly once again, looking at her with deep affection in his eyes: "Rou'er, if our acquaintance had not started like that, would you have fallen in love with me?"

“Will we be happy now?”

Speaking of their acquaintance, Zhang Yuerou became emotional: "No, if I had to do it all over again, I would rather die with my family than meet a hypocritical man like you."

"The thing I, Zhang Yuerou, regret most in my life is marrying you!"

Hearing this, Prime Minister Xu stood up and smiled like a madman.

"Rou'er, I will never let you go in this life. Since I was wrong from the beginning, I will continue to make the same mistake."

"Even if I hate you, I won't let you go."

"You lunatic!" Zhang Yuerou grabbed the big iron cage that held her and yelled at the top of her lungs.

Lord Ouyang took the imperial edict with a confused look on his face, looked at the rewards all over the yard, and then looked at his daughter.

Ouyang Zhixia blinked, his focus not on these things at all: "Eunuch, did you say that General Xu is back?"

"Is he home now?"

Eunuch Li Quan nodded, and then explained that Xu Haoran was now a loyal general and that the emperor had given him the Fukang Garden mansion.

Then he reminded Master Ouyang, roughly meaning that there were many things that needed to be purchased for the new residence of the loyal general.

Although the emperor wanted to reward Xu Haoran with some money to purchase the property, the title of General of Loyalty was already a high title.

If I give more money as a reward, the ministers will not be able to justify it, so the reason for adding so much dowry is...

Master Ouyang nodded repeatedly, reassuring Eunuch Li Quan.

Only then did Eunuch Li Quan return to report.

Mrs. Ouyang was overjoyed and said that her daughter was a blessed person, and Xu Haoran was a man who survived a great disaster and would have good fortune in the future.

The news of Xu Haoran's return was that he was seriously injured and was rescued by a farmer, which delayed his return.

So when Ouyang Zhixia saw her father-in-law leave, she wanted to go visit Xu Haoran.

"Be more reserved. You're a girl, how can you behave like that?" Mrs. Ouyang quickly grabbed her daughter.

Lord Ouyang also nodded and said: "You little girl, when did you meet the emperor? He even promised to add more makeup for you, but you didn't even tell me. You scared your father to death."

For no reason, the eunuch appeared with the imperial edict. Wouldn't he be scared to death?

Ouyang Zhixia smiled and said, "I don't know whether the emperor is joking or serious."

"Nonsense, the emperor's words are as good as gold, how can you be joking?" Lord Ouyang scolded.

Then, looking at the things all over the yard, she was delighted again: "My son is so lucky. When he gets married, he will have the emperor's dowry. How many people will envy him."

"Haoran has used a lot of money at Fukang Garden. Madam, please go to the treasury and see how much money we have. We can't spend these royal gifts."

"Okay, okay."

Xu Haoran returned safely, and not only the Wu mother and daughter were panicked, but also his former good brother, Chen Ziyi.

Xu Haoran looked at his good brother in front of him with a guilty look on his face, his face expressionless, and he did not feel any softening for his apology.

"Haoran, I'm really sorry, but the princess wants to blackmail me, and I have no choice."

Now Haoran is a loyal and righteous general with tens of thousands of troops under his command. Chen Ziyi knows that this will be a great help in his ascension to the throne.
