Xia Meng was overwhelmed by the string of words and didn't know which one to respond first.

So Du Jingyi came to the rescue and said something.

"Aunt, please speak slowly. Xia Meng just came in. Be careful not to scare her."

"I'm not that timid, it's just that Aunt asked too many questions, and I couldn't answer them at the moment. But thank you for worrying about our marriage."

Although her background is unknown, she was well-educated and always behaved calmly and composedly when interacting with others. Therefore, Aunt Xing liked her more and more, and even felt that her own brat might not be worthy of her.

The aunt at the side heard it and said something with a click of the tongue.

"Look, everyone in your family is so clever. Everyone speaks as sweetly as a lark. Yun Qing must be feeling as sweet as honey."

Hearing this, Aunt Xing nodded quickly, took Xia Meng's hand and said without any hesitation.

"I have been looking forward to it for a long time. Finally, my daughter-in-law has come. She is such an excellent one. I am naturally very happy. Now I will write to ask when that brat will come back so that I can calculate the date and send the invitation!"

Seeing this, Xia Meng added a sentence.

"Aunt, you don't have to write. On the way back, we made a special trip to Wangzhou. Xing Zhao said that he would be back before the end of the year."

"What about the general? Can he come back as well?"

Du Jingyi asked with concern. Of course, she cared about her husband more, so she said that.

"General Gu didn't specify a specific date, but asked me to bring a letter to his wife."

Generally, she would receive a letter from home every half a month or so. Now, only four or five days had passed since she last received a letter from home. She originally thought that she would have to wait for a few more days, but unexpectedly, she received an unexpected surprise.

So, after Du Jingyi received the letter, his face was full of happiness, but it was not convenient to open it and read it in front of everyone, so he put it directly into his sleeve, which made Aunt Xing and the others laugh.

"Let's go, let's take them downstairs to clean up first, and take a break before talking about other things. Let's also give our niece-in-law some time to quickly see how many words of love Shao Yu has said."

"aunt!"

Although Du Jingyi is already a mother of four children, she still acts like a little girl when she acts coquettishly, which makes people unable to help themselves, so everyone just smiled and left.

Aunt Xing was quite perceptive, but this perceptiveness also made Du Jingyi feel a little funny.

After everyone left, she took out the letter, thinking it would be the same as the previous family letter. Unexpectedly, after reading what was inside, Du Jingyi was shocked.

After reading it carefully twice and making sure there was no missed message, he called out Cherry.

"Prepare the brazier."

"yes."

Although Cherry felt a little strange, she quickly took the thing and then watched Du Jingyi burn the letter without leaving any trace.

Cherry frowned when she saw this. Why did the lady suddenly do this?

But she didn't ask questions that shouldn't be asked. This has always been her attitude of serving Du Jingyi, so she just stood respectfully by the side waiting for Du Jingyi's instructions.

Only after the letter was swallowed up by the flames without a trace did Du Jingyi make a move towards the outside. Not long after, Liu Xun appeared like a hidden soul.

Seeing Liu Xun coming, Yingtao retreated as before and stood outside to prevent others from approaching.

There was a weird atmosphere in the house.

Liu Xun didn't know why his wife suddenly took the initiative to find him, so he kept his head slightly lowered, waiting for instructions.

After a long time without her speaking, Liu Xun asked again.

"Madam, what are your instructions? I will do my best to carry them out."

"Mr. Liu, General...are you going to choose another wise leader?"

Her eyes were full of complexity, and her tone was somewhat hesitant, but at the same time, her expression when she looked at Liu Xun was particularly affirmative and solemn, so Liu Xun could only nod silently, as if he had accepted the matter.

Du Jingyi sighed deeply and leaned back on the soft pillow. If they just chose to side with one of the princes, then at most they would be competing against the supporters of other princes.

But now, if everything is as she saw in the letter, then they will have to draw a clear line with all their current in-laws.

For example, the Xing family.

For example, the Yan family.

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

Even the Guo family.

If a wise ruler is chosen for such a cost-free behavior, it would be better. However, if the ruler is a ruthless one who turns against others as soon as he comes to power, then their general's mansion will be despised by everyone and there will be no return.

This round is a bit too big.

But sighing and hesitating as much as he sighed, when Liu Xun looked up at Du Jingyi again, he saw that she had regained her usual composure. Even if it was not entirely from the heart, she was holding up the general's mansion for the sake of this large family and its reputation.

The corners of Liu Xun's mouth raised slightly, but it quickly disappeared.

"Since the general has made up his mind, we must do our best to help him. Mr. Liu, I only ask one thing of you. If anything unexpected happens in the future, take the children with you and leave first. Either go to the Su family, they have their own way to send the children away, or hide your identity and find an empty valley to raise them until they grow up."

Hearing these words similar to "entrusting an orphan to one's care", Liu Xun couldn't help but recall that the general had given him the same instructions before he left the Huben Army, except that the general only asked him to protect the people he sent off, and there was also a wife among them.

Thinking of this, he immediately answered.

"Madam, rest assured. I will not hesitate to die."

After receiving a positive answer, Du Jingyi stopped worrying about the matter. Instead, he briefly went through the list provided in the letter in his mind and then said to Liu Xun.

"The general is making preparations in Wangzhou, and we will pave the way for them in Sui'an City. It's almost the end of the year, and the four princes are going to get married. All the princes will come to congratulate them. When the time comes, let's get in touch with this prince first."

"Yes, ma'am."

In Gu Shaoyu's letter to Du Jingyi, in addition to mentioning the people he really wanted to support, there was also a series of names. Some of these names were secret stakes that had been run by the Gu family for generations, and some were seeds that Gu Shaoyu had planted over the years. Some of them had already grown into towering trees, while others were still slowly taking root.

What Du Jingyi didn't expect was that there would be traces of the Han family here.

After a short silence, Du Jingyi called Yingtao in. When Yingtao came in, Liu Xun was nowhere to be seen. Everything returned to the beginning.
