Chapter 440 Emperor Wu is incompetent and tyrannical. Are you willing to replace him?

"Old lady, you have worked hard all day, take a rest."

In the room, the old lady was checking the list of gifts.

Regarding the list of gifts, the old lady usually counts them once and then asks someone to count them again.

Finally, the old lady compared the two lists again.

Only when it is accurate will the old lady feel at ease.

The most feared thing is making mistakes.

The old lady even found an excuse to punish a servant as a warning to others.

"Almost done."

The old lady of the Xu family shook her head and handed the list in her hand to the maid beside her.

"Give this list to Ming Ge'er, and tell him to come to me directly if he has any questions.

Then tell Ming Ge'er that he doesn't need to worry about anything in the mansion, and just needs to do his best to serve His Majesty. "

"Okay, old lady." The maid nodded and quickly retreated with the list.

After the maid left, the old lady sighed and felt a little sore in her shoulders.

Another maid saw this and hurried forward to pat the old lady's back.

This maid's name is Xiangni. She has always followed the old lady. She is quite pretty. Xu Zheng had always wanted to take Xiangni away, but the old lady had never agreed.

"I haven't been this busy for a long time." The old lady closed her eyes and sighed, "The last time I dealt with these things was more than 200 years ago. At that time, Duke Xu had just been appointed to an official position, and so many people came to give gifts. Xiangni, you don't know, it was so lively at that time, and the whole mansion was crowded with people."

Chunni smiled and said, "This shows that Ming has the demeanor of Duke Xu back then. This is a great honor for the Xu family."

"You, girl." The old lady smiled, "You have the sweetest mouth in the whole mansion. No wonder I don't want to give you away."

Chunni smiled and said with a hint of playfulness in her tone: "I don't want to leave the old lady. I want to serve the old lady forever."

"Hahaha, ok ok ok," the old lady nodded.

"By the way, Yiger, Shanger, and Panda, have they come back?" asked the old lady.

"I'm back, I'm back." Chunni nodded, "I heard that the first and second young masters will arrive in four or five days, and the third young master will be even faster, I heard he will arrive tomorrow."

"Yeah." The old lady raised her lips.

For the old lady, the happiest moment is when all her children and grandchildren come back.

"Has Ming'er been in the yard all day today? Didn't he go out?" the old lady asked again.

Chunni nodded: "Yes, Madam, Ming Ge'er has been in the yard all day and has not gone out. I don't know what Ming Ge'er is doing in there?"

The old lady smiled and said, "I don't know what to do, so I'll send you over there to have a look. Anyway, Ming Ge'er will have one less girl to serve him at night."

Chunni was stunned for a moment, then her cheeks turned red with shame: "Old lady, what are you talking about? How can Mingge look down on me?"

"You girl." The old lady shook her head, "You don't want to leave me, an old woman, it turns out that you have fallen in love with Ming'er."

"Old lady." Chunni's cheeks turned redder, "I don't have any."

"Hehe, there's no need to hide in front of an old woman like me." The old lady patted Chunni's little hand, "But it's true, in the Xu Mansion, the only man worth looking at is Ming'er."

Chunni shook her head: "Old lady, you can't say that. The other young masters are also very powerful."

"No, compared to Ming Ge'er, the others are not as good as him." The old lady sighed, "Fortunately, there is Ming Ge'er."

Fortunately, Ming Ge'er was born. Otherwise, if Duke Xu and Duke Qin saw what their descendants looked like during the ancestor worship, the old lady would feel ashamed. Over the years, the old lady has indeed turned a blind eye to many negative aspects of the Xu family.

I really just want to see the good of the Xu family.

The old lady was indeed worried about whether Xu Ming's favor with His Majesty was a good thing or a bad thing.

But this is all based on when the old lady was still alive.

The old lady is still alive, and His Majesty should give her some face.

What the old lady never dared to think about was "What happens after I die?" The old lady knew that the kindness of her ancestors would eventually run out.

After I pass away, if no one can support the Xu Mansion anymore, the kindness of the Xu Mansion will sooner or later be exhausted.

At that time, if any major incident occurs again, the Xu family will be used by His Majesty as an example to warn the monkeys.

If Xu Ming could step down from this position smoothly, he might even be able to be granted a title of nobility or become a prime minister.

By that time, the wealth of the Xu family could last for hundreds of years.

Originally, the Xu family's wealth and prosperity could rely on Xu Xuenuo.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

But Xu Xuenuo had already been removed from the family tree and had nothing to do with the Xu family.

"I just hope that Brother Ming won't get into trouble in the next few years." The old lady prayed in her heart.

Inside the courtyard, Xu Ming received a gift list from the old lady.

Xu Ming actually knew in his heart everything the old lady had done today.

Xu Ming was even more aware that in fact many people from the Xu and Qin mansions wanted to come to him to ask for official positions, but in the end they were all suppressed by the old lady.

Those young people in the Xu family can't see as clearly as an old lady.

If you come here to ask for an official position, and if His Majesty wants to punish the commander, you will definitely be the ones to die.

"Thank you, old ancestor, for me." Xu Ming put down the gift list, and then took out a box from the storage bag. "This spiritual flower is what I got from the North Sea. It can be used to make tea, which is very good for the body. Please help me pass it on, young lady."

"You're welcome, young master." The maid took the box respectfully, then looked at Xu Ming a few more times, showing that she was reluctant to leave.

After the maid left, Xu Ming continued to meditate.

After the battle in Beihai, Xu Ming had actually already broken through the threshold of Longmen Realm and was about to enter the Jindan Realm.

Only when we become golden elixir masters can we be considered as people of our generation.

Only when one reaches the Golden Elixir realm can one truly achieve mastery in the path of cultivating immortals.

And just when Xu Ming tried to condense the golden elixir in his body.

Suddenly, Xu Ming opened his eyes abruptly.

A flying sword pierced straight into Xu Ming's forehead.

Xu Ming opened his eyes and held the flying sword tightly between his fingers. The flying sword kept trembling between Xu Ming's fingers.

There is a letter on the flying sword.

Open it and take a look——

"Emperor Wu is incompetent and unjust. Are you willing to replace him?"
