If he could get the Suzaku Order, he would be able to control the entire Southern Region.

Although the appointment of a domain lord is decided by the emperor, he is usually selected from among his descendants.

Logically speaking, the eldest son is the first in line of succession, but this is not absolute.

Especially when the eldest son is not liked by his parents.

Zhao came to the table and handed the letter to the candle flame and burned it to ashes.

Thinking of Cui Huo lying on the bed, a hint of sneer appeared on her lips.

If Cui Huo died, the one who inherited the position of Domain Lord would definitely not be the bastard born by that bitch! * When Qing Bao woke up in the morning and found that Gu Xueting was gone, he was in a very low mood and even ate one less bowl of rice.

Shen Yizhi wiped his mouth and said, "Daddy will be back soon. Then let him take you on a big bird and fly around in the sky, okay?"

Nian Nian, who was eating meat porridge with a good appetite as usual, hurriedly said, "I want to sit too!"

Shen Yizhi smiled and touched her head: "Everyone sit down. Nian Nian, eat slowly."

However, she didn't expect that her promise would fall through.

Tianzhou was moving very fast. Even though Dancheng was right in front of them, Gu Xueting had not caught up yet.

Shen Yizhi couldn't help but feel a little worried, so he used the photo stone to contact him: "Where are you now?"

I thought I would receive a reply soon, but even after I arrived outside Dan City, there was still no movement from the Photo Stone.

Could something have happened to Gu Xueting? Shen Yizhi couldn't help thinking.

She immediately denied this guess. She said that they had a bond of kinship between them. If something really happened to him, she would not be unable to sense it.

Perhaps he was temporarily stuck on something?

Shen Yizhi suppressed his worries, held a baby in each hand, and went into the city with Cui Yue and his sister.

Dan City is worthy of being the capital of the Southern Region. The city walls are as high as twenty or thirty stories. Its grandeur is hard to describe. Just standing under the city walls, one can't help but feel insignificant.

There are five city gates, one main gate and four secondary gates. The main gate can accommodate eight carriages at the same time.

The secondary city gate is also seven or eight meters wide.

The five city gates were all very busy, with a constant flow of people and vehicles, but everything was in order and not chaotic.

Compared with the magnificent imperial capital, the Dan City in front of us has a different kind of majestic demeanor.

After entering the city, Shen Yizhi suggested: "Yue'er, A Li, how about you go back first, I will take Qing Bao and Nian Nian to find an inn to stay, and I will bring Nian Nian to visit you after you understand the situation?"

Cui Huo, the domain lord, is in a coma, so the Cui Mansion must be on high alert and strangers are strictly prohibited from entering the mansion. They don't know much about the situation in the mansion, so it's not appropriate for them to rashly go in.

Cui Xi: "That's fine, Sister Zhizhi, I'll take you there."

Shen Yizhi settled down in the inn with the two children, while Cui Yue and Cui Xi returned home.

The eldest wife is not favored in this mansion, so the courtyard where she lives is located in the most remote western corner. The place is not very big, just a small courtyard with two entrances.

In the past, Cui Yue had been brainwashed so much by Zhao that she felt her father was useless and her mother was cowardly. She also despised this small courtyard and would avoid setting foot there if possible. But after going out, she has understood who are the relatives who truly treat her well.

As soon as she entered the mansion, she couldn't wait to go back home and see her parents.

At first she walked, but then she just ran.

"Slow down!" Cui Xi was watching from behind and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh at this girl.

"oops!"

Cui Yue turned a corridor and bumped into someone unexpectedly, falling to the ground.

She gasped in pain, and when she looked up, she was slapped in the face and stunned.

"Don't you have eyes when you walk?"

Cui Yue covered her face, stood up suddenly, and said angrily: "How dare you——"

When she saw the face of the person in front of her, she was so shocked that the rest of her words got stuck in her throat, and her eyes almost popped out: "Why are you here?"

Cui Yunhuang looked at her, somewhat surprised, and scanned her from head to toe: "This is my home, why can't I be here? But you, who allowed you to step into my Cui family?"

Cui Yue was so angry that before she could say anything out of anger, Cui Xi stepped forward and stopped her behind him: "A Li has met the little aunt. Yue Er and I haven't seen the little aunt for many years, so we didn't recognize her for a while. I hope the little aunt won't blame us."

Combining what Cui Yunhuang had just said, as well as her appearance and age, Cui Xi had to come to a conclusion - that is, the woman with whom they had had a feud in the square outside Penglai Pavilion was their aunt whom they had not seen for many years.

Cui Yue stared at Cui Yunhuang. She was actually their aunt? What an injustice!

Can I apply for it? Cui Yunhuang was also surprised, "So you are the twins born by my unpromising elder brother."

The tone is contemptuous and makes people feel extremely uncomfortable.

Cui Yue immediately exploded: "It's not your turn to judge whether my father is ambitious or not! Besides, my father is not a——"

"Yue'er!" Cui Xi stopped her.

Cui Yue realized that she almost told the truth, and she was frightened and quickly shut her mouth.

"Yue'er and I just came back from outside, so we won't stay with my aunt for long." Cui Xi pulled Cui Yue away.

Cui Yunhuang looked at the backs of the brother and sister, thinking about the second half of Cui Yue's unfinished words. Her father was nothing at all? Cui Yue was pulled by Cui Xi. Seeing that he didn't say anything all the way, she couldn't help but feel uneasy: "Brother..."

Cui Xi stopped, turned around, looked at the distinct slap mark on her face, sighed, and touched it gently: "Does it hurt?"

"Of course it hurts. That damn woman showed no mercy at all."

Noticing that his expression had darkened again, she lowered her voice and muttered, "What bad luck! How did she become our little aunt?"

Cui Xi led her forward and said earnestly, "Yue'er, since you already know the situation of our family in this mansion, you should be careful about what you say and do. Especially now that your aunt is back, if she bears a grudge against you and deliberately makes things difficult for you, your parents won't be able to say anything due to her status as an elder."

"Okay, I've got it all down."

In the small courtyard of the second entrance.

Men play with birds, and women plant flowers.

When Cui Xi walked in holding Cui Yue's hand, they saw this harmonious scene.

"Dad, Mom, we are back."

Cui Shizhen and Hu Xiuyun stopped what they were doing instantly, and they both looked over with full surprise.
