However, before the Xu family could gather everything together, an imperial edict from the palace briefly calmed the Xu family down.
Send the butler to send away the palace servants of Zhaoyang Palace.
Xu Min looked at her youngest son Xu Yi, who was showing resistance, and said, "Ayi, you heard it too. The Sixth Princess asked you to enter Zhaoyang Palace. You should go back and pack your things quickly."
As Xu Min spoke, she felt relieved and a smile appeared on her face.
It is well known that the Sixth Princess likes Yier.
When Yier enters Zhaoyang Palace, he will whisper some words in the Sixth Princess's ear. Then maybe her Xu family can continue to rise with the help of the Sixth Princess, haha.
Xu Nongqing looked solemn. She was not as optimistic as Xu Min.
Yesterday in Zhaoyang Palace, she saw with her own eyes Jiang Huan's disdain for Ayi, and she even said that she looked down on Ayi.
Even if those were just Jiang Huan's angry words yesterday.
But if Jiang Huan really still likes Ayi, why doesn't she ask the emperor for permission to marry her and Ayi?
Instead, with just a casual word, he allowed Ayi to enter Zhaoyang Palace without any matchmaker or engagement, and without any reputation or status. Isn't this humiliating Ayi?
It would be fine if Jiang Huan took Ayi into her backyard in the future.
If not, Ayi's life will be ruined. Which woman will dare to marry him in the future?
Xu Nongqing analyzed the current situation and didn't say what was in his mind.
In her heart, it was not worth it to offend Jiang Huan again because of Xu Yi.
It's just a man. It doesn't matter if he is ruined. The most important thing is their Xu family.
Xu Yi came back to his senses from his daze and looked at his mother who had always loved him in disbelief.
"I won't go! Mother, please go and beg His Majesty. I don't like the Sixth Princess and I don't want to marry her."
Xu Min's face turned serious and he spoke angrily.
"Nonsense! The Sixth Princess is the daughter of His Majesty, the future Prince. It will be your blessing for you to serve her in Zhaoyang Palace. This matter is settled."
"Mother!" Xu Yi said angrily, "I won't go. If you force me to do that again, I will commit suicide by hunger strike."
"Evil son!" Xu Min was furious. "It seems that I have spoiled you too much. I have spoiled you so much that you are so arrogant that you dare not listen to your mother. Someone, come and use the family law."
Xu Yi looked at his mother who was very different from before and became even sadder. "Even if you beat me to death, I will not enter the palace."
Seeing that Xu Min was so angry that her face turned blue and she was about to use family punishment, Xu Nongqing hurriedly spoke up to stop her.
"Mother, calm down. Ayi has been spoiled by us. Don't be angry. I will talk to him."
Xu Yi turned his head away, making it clear that he didn't want to listen to her.
Xu Nongqing was not angry, and tried to persuade him earnestly.
"Ayi, listen to my elder sister. This time you should enter the palace obediently. The Sixth Princess likes you and will definitely not do anything to you.
Now the Sixth Princess is not very friendly to our Xu family. You still need to deal with everything in Zhaoyang Palace.
In the future, when the Sixth Princess is no longer angry with the Xu family, my mother and I will ask His Majesty to let you leave the palace and go home. Then you can marry whoever you want, and we will never interfere with you again."
Xu Min felt unhappy when she heard her words.
There is no need to leave the palace. The important thing to do is to serve the Sixth Princess well and win her over.
She was about to speak when Xu Nongqing immediately winked at her.
Xu Min has always respected Xu Nongqing, and thinking that she had her own thoughts, she didn't say anything else.
In the end, Xu Nongqing moved Xu Yi with emotion and reason, and finally made him agree to enter the palace.
He also promised Xu Yi that he would take him out of the palace in the future.
Of course, this is all Xu Nongqing’s bullshit.
As long as he entered the palace obediently, no matter how Jiang Huan treated Xu Yi, her Xu family would not care.
After Xu Yi left reluctantly, Xu Nongqing spoke first without waiting for Xu Min to ask.
"Mother, we can't create any more trouble at this time. Promise Ayi first, and wait for him to enter the palace obediently. In the end, we still have the final say on what to do."
Xu Min nodded, "Yeah, you're right. By the way, how are the things that need to be returned being sorted out?"
Xu Nongqing handed her a list and said, "It went smoothly. Second Aunt was also very cooperative."
"After this incident, the Xu family will be emptied out." Xu Nongqing's face was full of gloom.
All these years, the Xu family has been using Jiang Huan's things, and those priceless treasures were either subsidized by Emperor Qingwu or given by Jiang Huan's maternal family.
Each piece is a masterpiece among masterpieces.
The Xu family was reluctant and dared not give away such a rare item to build relationships.
The slightly inferior ones have been used a lot.
Everything that could be bought back or redeemed was brought back.
What cannot be recovered can only be compensated with something of equal value or with silver to make up the shortfall.
In order to fill the huge deficit, the private vaults of Xu Min, Xu Nongqing, Xu Nongyi and the second and third wives were all searched.
A lot of good things were taken away directly.
The Xu family felt extremely painful, and even Xu Nongqing, who urged Xu Min to pay back the money, was no exception.
As boxes of treasures were constantly being moved out, everyone's face was filled with resentment.
Unfortunately, no matter how unwilling they were, there was nothing they could do.
If they don't return it, they might face jail time.
By then, maybe Jiang Huan wouldn't just want money, but their lives.
