Chapter 284: Run out of the house

Liu finally realized the severity of the situation. Her hands and feet were cold, and cold sweat broke out on her palms and forehead.

"Mother really did something wrong this time,"

she said slowly, staring blankly ahead, the light in her eyes becoming empty.

Old Madam Du didn't dare to say a word, her face was pale and stiff. She tried to get up with the help of a cane, but found that her legs were weak and she couldn't get up.

She said in a hoarse voice, "It was those people from the Li family who came to beg me in the middle of the night, and I thought of going to beg for mercy. They wanted to harm me!"

The two finally thought it through, but Marquis Anguo had made up his mind and would never give them any chances again

The next day, the news that Marquis Anguo wanted to divorce his wife reached An Yunxi's ears.

Ling Fengxun now has spies everywhere, and he can get first-hand information on any major event.

After listening to the report from his subordinates, Ling Fengxun told Xier without stopping.

An Yunxi was stunned when she heard this, and her eyes flickered slightly.

She suddenly smiled: "Uncle is still so courageous."

Seeing that she was in a good mood, Ling Fengxun also smiled.

"If he wants, this king can find him a few good women to expand his mansion."

An Yunxi raised her eyes and glanced at Ling Fengxun, and couldn't help but smiled and shook her head: "Forget it, my uncle is devoted to the affairs of the court, and he already has two sons. There is no need to find a woman for him. If he wants, he can find one himself."

She had no objection to her uncle marrying an aunt in the future.

Although the Marquis of Anguo is nearly fifty years old, it is normal for him to want a companion.

The Marquis's mansion has a large family to support, and there must be a mistress to take charge.

For An Yunxi, this matter was just a small episode.

She didn't take it seriously.

Three days later, the Marquis of Anguo really drove Liu out of the house.

On that day, a carriage stopped at the gate of the Marquis's mansion, and many people moved all of Liu's dowry up, leaving nothing behind.

Over the years, she has eaten and used the Marquis's mansion's money, and her dowry has not been touched at all. Unfortunately, she is just a small family, and all added up, her dowry is not worth much money.

Liu left in tears.

Her tears almost dried up in the past two days.

But facing her tears, the Marquis of Anguo was hard-hearted and indifferent.

At this moment, Liu suddenly understood how decisive and terrible a person who was usually soft-hearted and easy to talk to could be once his heart became hard.

She had spent half her life in the Marquis's Mansion, but because of a moment of confusion, she lost her home for the rest of her life

. The brothers Du Jinxuan and Du Jinchen did not leave with their mother.

But they told their mother that they would visit her whenever they had time.

But Liu's family was not in the capital, but in Nanyang City, which was far away from the capital.

It would be good to see them twice a year in the future.

And one of the carriages was carrying Mrs. Du.

Mrs. Du looked extremely ugly, and the maid who left with her this time sat beside her.

The servants didn't dare to look at Madam Du's expression. After all, Marquis Anguo said that she was not in good health and needed to go to some place in the south to recuperate, so he let her live in the manor there.

Marquis Anguo sent the servants over, and he would have people give them money on time in the future, but if they wanted to go back to the capital, it would be difficult.

After An Yunxi knew about this, she immediately asked her mother to invite her uncle to the palace and arranged a family dinner.

The so-called family dinner was just her, her mother, and her uncle Ling Fengxun having a leisurely meal.

At first, Marquis Anguo was still very calm and said that he was fine. It felt that after Liu and Madam Du left, the whole mansion was quiet.

However, after Ling Fengxun accompanied Anguo Hou to drink a few glasses of wine, Anguo Hou's face and eyes were red.

Du patted her brother's shoulder and said softly, "Brother, if you are sad, tell me what's in your heart."

The brother and sister have been dependent on each other in the Marquis's mansion since they were young.

After losing their mother and father, life was hard.

Anguo Hou, a man in his fifties, was comforted by his sister, and his eyes became redder, and his voice was a little choked.

"I'm causing you trouble, Linglan."

Du Linglan was stunned, and then her eyes were red, but she smiled and said, "What are you talking about, brother? We have always had a good relationship for so many years, so what trouble is there?"

But Anguo Hou shook his head and said, "It's all my fault. If I had driven Liu and the others out earlier, I could have taken you back to the Hou Mansion when you said you wanted to divorce Anqing."

He felt that it was his elder brother's fault.

At that time, his sister was led by Anqing by the nose, and the other party hurt Linglan so recklessly because he was fearless.

It was because he, as a brother, was not strong enough and failed to protect his sister.

Mrs. Du's smile was still gentle and graceful: "I never thought that my elder brother did anything wrong, because as long as others bully me, my elder brother will always stand by my side."

But An Guohou said: "Not enough."

While speaking, he drank the wine in the cup again.

Ling Fengxun was sitting next to An Yunxi. He just quietly picked up food for An Yunxi and did not interrupt An Guohou to speak from the heart.

Seeing that An Guohou drank a lot, An Yunxi hurriedly snatched the wine pot.

"Okay, uncle, you can't drink anymore."

Seeing that his hands were empty, An Guohou was a little dissatisfied, but with Ling Fengxun here, he didn't dare to show off. Even if he was drunk, he was very bashful.

An Guohou's voice was a little tongue-tied. He said to An Yunxi, "Xi'er, I can't guarantee anything else, but if you need your help in the future, I will help you burp as long as I can."

Well, this is not clear.

He started to burp.

An Yunxi couldn't help laughing when she saw her uncle's expression and heard such heartwarming words. She was also in a good mood and drank a little wine. Her eyes were bright and beautiful as if dyed with endless spring colors.

"Well, I heard uncle."

The two did not stay in the room for long.

The rest of the space was given to Mrs. Du and Marquis Anguo.

The brother and sister talked about many memories of the past. After this family dinner, the barriers they once had were gone and their feelings became deeper.

Even Marquis Anguo's mood, which had been blocked recently, has improved a lot.

Ling Fengxun took An Yunxi's hand and walked into the yard and stood under a row of plum trees.

The heavy snow had stopped for several days, but the snow on every branch and leaf of the plum tree had not completely melted.

There was still a little ice hanging on a branch somewhere, emitting a shimmering luster.

There was a bit of cold wind outside, but An Yunxi didn't feel cold at all, even her hands were held in warm palms.

"My Lord, is Beifeng City okay? How long will it take for the road to be open?"

Ling Fengxun thought for a while: "Less than half a month, because the army was stationed there in advance, and there are enough people."

An Yunxi was relieved.

"If it's half a month, the people in the city should be able to hold on."

Ling Fengxun raised the corner of his lips and touched An Yunxi's forehead. He smiled and said: "Xier is so concerned about other people, but you don't care much about me."

An Yunxi was blown by the cold wind, and the alcohol came up for some reason.

She suddenly stopped, stood in front of the corridor leading back to her room, held Ling Fengxun's face, and kissed him on tiptoe.

This proactive and intoxicating scene made Ling Fengxun's eyes tremble. He hugged An Yunxi's waist without any scruples and responded seriously.

However, at this moment, a black shadow suddenly landed in the yard. Ying Feng subconsciously saluted: "Report, Your Majesty, a secret letter was sent from the Prince of Nanqi!"
