Shang Ji was already very impatient to talk any more with his seventh brother. He had said the same thing many times before, but Shang Qilang seemed to have a problem with his ears and refused to listen to him.

I always feel that I am capable enough to handle it.

The eldest sister-in-law Liu and the eighth sister Xue Niang, who were present, did not think Shang Ji's words were cruel, but because of some consideration in the past, Xue Niang still said a word to help.

"Seventh brother, if you really want to do good for us, don't harbor any more illusions. Ever since my mother passed away and Madam Wei took power, the East and West Courts were destined to be unable to coexist peacefully. Today, His Majesty's decree has also separated our two families. From now on, the General's Mansion will be surnamed Gu, and the Duke's Mansion will be surnamed Shang. This is a foregone conclusion."

After hearing what Xue Niang said, Shang Qillang became even more obsessed and spoke with some dissatisfaction and anger in his eyes.

"Eighth sister, don't forget that His Majesty only asked Sixth Brother and his son to change their surnames. You still have Ping'er, and your eldest sister-in-law is still a member of our Shang family!"

"But they are also the ones that my Gu family wants to protect. Shang Qilang, do you want to cause trouble?"

Shang Ji has been a general for many years and has seen many troublesome soldiers.

He was one of them before, but it is rare to find someone like Shang Qilang who has such lofty ambitions but a fragile life.

So, when he showed an attitude of chasing guests away, sister-in-law Liu knew that the day was destined to end in a bad mood.

He spoke to Shang Ji.

"I'm afraid my sister-in-law can't comfort Brother Tai, why don't you go and take a look first."

He wanted to find an excuse to send him away, but Shang Ji didn't buy it and spoke directly.

"It's okay. My grandmother and mother-in-law are here."

Shang Ji spoke quickly and now called Old Madam Gu "grandmother", which made Shang Qilang quite excited.

"Sixth brother now has someone to support him at home. He can even call her grandmother. He really can't wait."

"Your Majesty's grace, I cannot disobey. But I'm afraid my father won't be able to sit on the position of Duke for much longer, so it's better to vacate the position as soon as possible, so as to avoid problems in the Duke's Mansion due to disobeying the emperor's order, which would be troublesome."

Although Shang Ji did not continue speaking, his meaning was very clear: if one disobeyed the order, the end would be extremely tragic.

Shang Qillang's expression became more and more strange, and after hearing what Old Madam Gu said, his sister-in-law Liu felt that it was not the time to completely break off relations, so she took over the conversation.

"Seventh brother, I know that you treated us sincerely, but the things of the previous generation destined you to be different from us, so let go of your obsession. Now that the Duke's Mansion has a rare person like you who is pursuing a career in politics, you should naturally focus on your future and stop worrying about the past."

Shang Qillang didn't know how much of these words touched him. Although his expression was no longer as indignant as before, he still showed a determination not to give up.

Sister-in-law Liu suppressed Shang Ji's intention to confront him again, and then spoke in a gentle tone.

"Ping'er is still young, so naturally, the Duke's Mansion still has to be supported by Father-in-law. When he can be filial to his elders and be friendly to his brothers and sisters, the burden will naturally fall on him. So, instead of arguing with us about these unchangeable things, why don't you go back and have a good talk with Father-in-law."

"Ping'er's surname is Shang after all, and she is also my father-in-law's legitimate grandson, isn't she?"

Sister-in-law Liu showed a lot of weakness, as she didn't want to have another conflict at this moment.

Shang Ji understood his sister-in-law's intentions, so he naturally suppressed his temper. Although his eighth sister Xue Niang felt a little cowardly, she could endure it if showing weakness like this could keep Ping'er safe.

Shang Qillang sat there, motionless.

In the end, I don’t know if he figured it out or what, but he just looked at Shang Ji steadily and left without saying anything else.

After he left, Shang Ji snorted coldly and said.

"You have evil intentions. If you go astray in the future, just wait and see. You will blame us for it."

Eldest sister-in-law Liu and eighth sister Xue Niang did not quite understand what Shang Ji said and thought he might be overthinking it, but the facts proved that Shang Ji's vision of people was still very accurate.

After leaving the Duke's Mansion, Shang Qilang went straight to Prince Fu's Mansion.

As for what Mrs. Wei and her family talked about in Prince Fu's mansion, outsiders have no idea.

All we know is that three days later, Shang Qillang's job was confirmed.

He entered the Taifu Temple, and his job was to manage the financial transactions of the Jinbu Division of the Ministry of Revenue.

It may not seem very impressive now, but it is the real purse of Daxing Dynasty that can be touched. And this kind of entry into the game is obviously guided by an expert.

However, Shang Ji had no idea what Shang Qilang was doing.

All he is thinking about now is his son's full moon banquet.

On the 18th of May, the General's Mansion held a banquet for his guests, headed by the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, and the rest of the court officials and their families also came to congratulate.

Now that His Majesty's decree has made the matter public, Shang Ji began to act under the name of Gu Shaoyu at today's banquet.

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

Some court officials naturally found it difficult to say goodbye for a moment, while others had already gotten used to it.

For example, the people of the Guo family naturally called him Shao Yu in a very affectionate way, and the prince also changed his words without any mistakes.

"Shao Yu's son is handsome and well-proportioned, quite like Marshal Gu!"

His praise meant that he was surrounded by a group of people, and he praised the child to the highest heaven.

"Your Highness, thank you for your compliment."

"When we return to the Gu family and open the ancestral temple to worship the ancestors, Yun Zhan will be the father of the Gu family. His position will be higher than yours as a father. What do you think? How do you feel about it?"

"The grace of heaven is immense. Shao Yu is grateful for your majesty's kindness to Yun Zhan. I will definitely teach him to be loyal to the emperor and love his country."

Although Gu Yunzhan will be the father-in-law of the Gu family in the future, a child like this will naturally have to obey his father, so he is still the one who makes the decisions for the entire Gu family behind the scenes.

Therefore, no one would really think that he had lost his conscience.

The prince nodded and then spoke.

"When Yun Zhan can run and jump, I'll take him to the East Palace to play with the emperor's children. They are all very happy to hear that there is a new brother in the general's mansion."

It was also very clear from the prince's words that he was paving the way for the emperor's sons.

Shang Ji was originally the most important military general of the prince's party. Now that he has married into the Gu family, this is even more so. His son should have more contact with the prince's sons.

Seeing this, Shang Ji did not refute but nodded in agreement.

The wet nurse carried Tai Ge'er around the front hall and naturally returned to the flower hall.

Old Mrs. Guo had seen the child when he was having his third birthday, and now he seemed to have grown a lot bigger, and she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
