However, whether the position conferred in the end is satisfactory or not is still another matter.

Therefore, Du Jingyi was a little puzzled as to why this nobleman from the Xing family sent these things at such an unexpected time.

Are you just planning to take advantage of the General's Mansion's momentum to get yourself a good interview?

But giving these insignificant gifts doesn't seem like an attempt to win people over.

"Have all the items been delivered to the warehouse?"

"Well, I have sorted out all the things that have been delivered to the mansion these days and locked them in the warehouse. No matter what Madam wants to do with it, I will obey your orders."

"Are you not afraid that Madam I will just take it for myself?"

After hearing this, Cherry smiled confidently and said.

"These things are not even half of what we harvested last year. How can Madam like them?"

As soon as these words came out, Du Jingyi looked at her and said with some praise in his eyes.

"She is indeed the head maid in the general's mansion. She speaks with confidence."

"My confidence was also given by Madam, so in the end, Madam is the most confident."

"Who gave Madam the confidence?"

The sudden question made Du Jingyi and Yingtao a little confused, and then they saw Gu Shaoyu, who had not returned home for several days, suddenly appeared.

When he saw him, Du Jingyi was still a little surprised. He quickly got off the couch and said curiously.

"How did you find time to come back, General? Have you dealt with everything?"

He was covered in dust and his eyes showed fatigue. He had to conduct interrogations and prepare for the coronation ceremony in the past few days, so he was really exhausted.

So, when I had some free time, I would come back to see if everything was okay at home. But as soon as I entered the door, I heard these words, so I just said this as a joke.

"Almost done. There are still some things to be handed over to the Ministry of Rites. I'm coming back to rest and will attend the crown prince's coronation ceremony the day after tomorrow."

Du Jingyi nodded, and then personally helped Gu Shaoyu wash and change into his regular clothes at home.

On the table was the sweet soup that had just been served. In the past two days, Du Jingyi would drink a small bowl of it every time he got up to moisten his mouth. And since Gu Shaoyu was back today, he naturally had to prepare two bowls.

Du Jingyi picked it up and took a bite, then frowned.

"It's too sweet. Remember to tell Danruo to add less honey. I feel my waist is getting thicker. It's summer soon, and I can't hide my fat like in winter. If people say I gained weight during the national mourning period, wouldn't that be giving them something to use against me?"

Hearing this, Cherry replied with a smile.

"Don't worry, Madam. Your waist is thin. Even if you drink for another two months, it won't get any thinner."

Gu Shaoyu looked at him after hearing this, then nodded in agreement.

"If someone who doesn't know you looks at you, they wouldn't be able to tell that you are a mother of four children. Health is the most important thing. Being too thin is not necessarily a good thing."

Hearing this, Du Jingyi disagreed.

Although she didn't have any obsession to be better than a girl, once the fat around her waist and abdomen grew, it would be difficult to get rid of it, so the best way was to prevent it before it happened.

However, talking about these things with his own general, a military man, probably would not lead to any consensus, so he did not dwell on this issue any further, but changed the subject.

"On the day of enthronement, I will probably be busy. It is not convenient for Brother Tai to hold a birthday party at this special time. I think it will be fine for the family to have a normal meal. Then I can ask Danruo to make him a bowl of longevity noodles."

It is understandable to do so in special times.

Not to mention Tai Ge'er's birthday, even the birthdays of the three brothers in the future and Xue Niang after she gave birth all had to be kept simple.

"It's up to you. Just pay attention to the drinks and dishes."

"Yes, I understand."

As the couple was talking, Cherry stopped serving in the inner room. Gu Shaoyu was not in a good mood, and Du Jingyi could see it.

"What's wrong?"

"The charges against the Wei family have been drawn up. None of the nine clans can escape. Not only the Wei family is implicated, but also those in Xiyuan. Father and the Duke's Mansion were also originally on the list of crimes, but they were forgiven because of my merits. However, Yan Ming wants father to write a letter of divorce and sever all ties with the Wei family."

Writing a divorce letter is not a difficult task, but the difficulty lies in whether Duke Shang Yukuan can write it at this moment?

"Yesterday, my eldest sister-in-law and He Ping'er went back to the Duke's Mansion to visit my father-in-law. I was going to go too, but Brother Wen suddenly felt a little unwell, so I didn't go. But when my eldest sister-in-law came back, she specifically told me that my father-in-law's condition is now incurable, so she wanted He Ping'er to move over and take care of him in his last days."

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

The Duke's Mansion has been cleaned out now, and there is not even enough staff to spare for Madam Wei. However, because so many people were arrested at once, most of the Duke's Mansion is now empty.

There were not enough servants and they were not capable enough, so the sister-in-law and Ping'er felt sorry for them and that's why they had this idea.

Gu Shaoyu sighed slightly and nodded in agreement.

"Ping'er will have to go back sooner or later, so just move. But the big fight can be put off until the crown prince ascends the throne. She can go there first. As for father, you can live one day at a time. You and I should prepare for mourning."

His words were calm and soothing, and Du Jingyi didn't know whether to comfort him or say something else.

The mourning period for father was different from that for grandmother. They had to mourn for three years.

The new emperor of the new dynasty was in mourning for three years, which was still a long time. But they had no choice but to accept it. No matter what they said, they could not get over this hurdle.

After a brief silence, Du Jingyi perked up and then spoke.

"I understand. Let's arrange for Sister-in-law and Ping'er to move in tomorrow. They don't have much luggage with them, but... General, do you want to accompany me to send them over?"

Gu Shaoyu did not answer, and Du Jingyi did not force him.

After a while, he adjusted his mood and spoke.

"Go ahead. I don't know how many times we'll see each other again. When we get busy the day after tomorrow, we won't be able to take care of that place anymore."

This is true, so Du Jingyi took it to heart.

Then he instructed Yingtao to prepare a lot of top-quality medicinal herbs and send them to Lanmingyuan, and asked them to take them with them tomorrow to see if they could still be used.

After all, we are family.

The next day, the four of them got up early, washed and had breakfast, and after leaving the child to the care of the two elders and wet nurses of the Du family, they set off back to the Duke's Mansion.

Listening to the clatter of horse hooves, Du Jingyi could hardly remember how long it had been since he had seen the Duke's father-in-law.
