Chapter 283 Half Joy and Half Sorrow

How could she bear this? She wiped away her tears and started crying.

"Master, what's going on? How did a trip to the palace turn out like this? Is Liu Lang going to abandon our Duke's Mansion?"

Madam Wei didn't know that this was done by the emperor, and she thought it was caused by Shang Ji's advice, so she was still talking about this issue.

But Shang Yukuan himself hadn't recovered yet, so he couldn't listen to a word Mrs. Wei said!

Seeing that Shang Yukuan didn't say anything, Mrs. Wei became extremely anxious.

Silang and his wife, who hurried over after hearing the news, were even more anxious than Mrs. Wei.

"Mother-in-law, the position of Duke has become Shang Zhiping's?"

Silang's wife spoke in a hurry and revealed a lot of their thoughts about the position, but no one was in the mood to correct anything at this time. Mrs. Wei's tears and her father-in-law's silence gave the answer.

Silang's wife almost lost her balance, it was like a bolt from the blue.

They have been in the Duke's Mansion for so many years. Do they have to move to the East Garden? "Oh my God, does this mean that you don't want us to live? Now that He'er's legs are like this, what are we going to do in the future?"

Her tears at this time were much more sincere than before, especially after seeing that her father-in-law Shang Yukuan had no reaction, she felt angry and anxious.

Silang's father, Xiao, could only sit there and sigh.

Shang Qillang, who came in later, was also deeply moved when he saw this scene.

"Don't cry, I'll go to the general's mansion and ask what this means."

Shang Qillang was holding his breath. He naturally knew about the conflict between his mother and Dong Yuan, but since his sixth brother came back, he wanted to mediate between them.

The sixth brother first ignored him, then praised the third brother, and now he wants to change his name and surname, and even caused his father to lose his position as the Duke. Shang Qilang has to ask about this cruel act of killing.

How had the Duke's Mansion wronged him? Why did they want him to kill them all? So Shang Qilang threw his sleeves and headed out the door. Madam Wei wanted her son to seek justice, but she was also afraid that he would be bullied by the General's Mansion, so she immediately spoke to Madam Jiao.

"Quick, let those strong servants follow, don't let them hurt Qilang."

"Yes, ma'am."

After all this commotion, Shang Yukuan still had no expression on his face. He just sat there in a daze. If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest, Mrs. Wei would have even suspected that he was dead.

In his heart, he felt annoyed if he looked at Shang Yukuan any more, so he stood up and spoke perfunctorily.

"Master, please take a rest. I'm going to Prince Fu's Mansion. The sky has collapsed, and there must be someone to hold it up!"

After saying that, he left. Silang and his wife were unusually active today and said to Mrs. Wei.

"We will go with you, mother."

"Well, let's go."

The current situation does not allow them to sit back and relax as before, so the right thing to do is to rush to Prince Fu's Mansion to hear if there is any way to break the impasse.

Everyone fled in all directions, and by the time Shang Yukuan reacted, there was no one left in the room.

He laughed sarcastically and recalled many past events.

In theory, he was a prosperous family with four sons and two daughters. But how come it has come to this where some of his sons are dead, some are poor, some have changed their surnames, and his daughters have married into wealthy families and look down on him, and the one who is about to get married cannot even see him.

Wasn’t this Duke’s Mansion bustling with laughter and joy in the past?

How did it suddenly wither away like this? He didn't know what he had done wrong to offend His Majesty to such an extent. Originally, there was only an empty shell of the Duke's Mansion left, but now he couldn't even keep this position.

Ping'er?

There was nothing wrong with Ping'er taking over the throne in terms of etiquette and law.

But judging from what Mrs. Wei and the others are doing right now, we know that they will not give in easily, so there will be some trouble.

Shang Yukuan closed his eyes and leaned decadently on the bed frame, and couldn't help feeling a sore nose.

Things in this world may be poison to one person but honey to another.

There was a lot of commotion in the Duke's Mansion, but everyone in the General's Mansion was extremely satisfied with these imperial edicts.

Sister-in-law Liu was stunned when she received the fresh and hot imperial edict of the Duke's succession to the throne which had just been delivered by Eunuch Liu.

It’s been ten years since my husband left.

She has lived with her son as a widow for ten years.

She never expected that the child could return to his past and inherit the throne of Duke.

One is that it came too quickly, and the other is that it came too smoothly.

Naturally, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she quickly pulled Xue Niang next to her and said.

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

"Quick, pinch me, am I dreaming?"

Hearing this, Xue Niang looked at her sister-in-law with both joy and distress, then patted the back of her hand with some force and asked.

"Sister-in-law, does it hurt?"

"It hurts, it's real! It's actually real!"

Sister-in-law Liu's tears slid down her face, like beads that had broken off the string, falling down with a crackling sound.

Everyone knew the pain in her heart, and Xue Niang had experienced it with her, so at this moment she was crying with joy just like her.

"Sister-in-law, please write a letter and ask Ping'er to come back. Such a good thing cannot be delayed."

Her reminder made her sister-in-law Liu react. She wiped her tears and spoke quickly.

"Yes, yes, yes, I almost forgot that Ping'er is not in Sui'an City. I will write a letter right now! I hope he can come back soon!"

As a result, before she could even move, she was stopped by Old Madam Gu at the door.

"Absolutely not."

Sister-in-law Liu was a little confused. How could such a big thing not be told to Ping'er?

Then Madam Gu spoke.

"Ping'er is just a child, how can he travel alone? Not to mention if there are thieves blocking the road, even those in the Duke's Mansion will not let him come back to inherit so easily. I know you have waited for this day for many years, but for Ping'er's safety, you have to endure it a little longer!"

Upon hearing this, sister-in-law Liu slapped her head.

"My granddaughter-in-law has lost her mind and even forgotten that there are wolves and tigers watching us. Grandmother is right. We can't let him go alone. Can we ask Sixth Brother's personal guards to pick him up?"

Old Madam Gu helped her anxious granddaughter-in-law Liu to sit down, and then she slowly spoke.

"Of course we can accept him, but there is one thing you need to know in advance. Even if Ping'er comes back, will he be able to support the Duke's Mansion? If you and your son move back now, do you think Madam Wei and the others will tear you two to pieces?"

Her few words were like a bucket of cold water poured on her sister-in-law's head, instantly making her sober up.
