"I provoke her? She wants to drag the Earl's house to hell with her."
It would have been fine if Mrs. Xu didn't mention the Fifth Princess, but when she did, Xu Chang became furious.
"What?"
"Fifth Princess, your good daughter-in-law, usurped Hongwen's throne to assassinate the Eighth Prince."
Mrs. Xu was stunned for a few seconds after hearing this and almost fainted from fright.
"All the people sent to assassinate were hung at the city gate by the Eighth Prince. Now they are coming to kill us. Who dares to confront them directly?" Xu Chang knew that they would bang on the door but he didn't dare to go out to see.
If others could still argue a few words, it was different for the Eighth Prince. The more he tried to defend himself, the faster he would die.
"Then...what should we do?" Mrs. Xu was frightened and at a loss.
"What to do? I don't know what to do."
Who knows what to do when you meet a moody person!
"The trouble with the master was caused by the Fifth Princess. Let the Fifth Princess go. If that doesn't work... then, let Hongwen divorce his wife..." Mrs. Xu was usually very afraid of the Fifth Princess.
When other people's sons marry, they all serve the mother-in-law, but her son married her ancestor.
Not to mention that the daughter-in-law has to pay her respects to the mother-in-law every day, she, as the mother-in-law, has to pay her respects to her almost every day.
Xu Chang was surprised for a moment. He didn't expect that his wife was so afraid of the Fifth Princess that she dared to say that she would divorce him.
It turns out that if you don't push yourself, you will never know your own courage.
"Master, what are you still standing there for? Why don't you send someone to fetch the Fifth Princess?" Seeing Xu Chang remained silent, Madam Xu gave him a slack hand, "If you don't go, I'll take someone with me."
After saying that, she no longer cared about etiquette and ran out the door.
This is the first time I have seen such a lady in Xuchang after being married for decades. I suddenly feel that I have married the right person. She is not weak when encountering problems and is reliable!
Only by pushing the fifth princess out can the Earl's Mansion be kept safe.
Even if the Eighth Prince killed the Fifth Princess, the Emperor could not hold the palace responsible. It was he who indulged the Eighth Prince to such an arrogant level.
"Master." The butler came hurriedly.
Xu Chang walked out the door and said, "Take some guards to the front yard and make sure to guard the door."
"Master, what are you doing?"
"I want to go to the palace to see the emperor."
"But the front yard is full of Jinyiwei, so we can't get out."
"Through the back door."
To be on the safe side, Xu Chang also brought a few guards from the mansion.
The butler followed Xu Chang all the way to the back door, opened the door himself, looked around, then retreated and said, "Master, there is no one here."
Xu Chang walked out the door and said, "Go and have the carriage wait in the back street."
"yes."
The housekeeper responded and ran towards the entrance of the alley.
Xu Chang thought that the palace should first explain the assassination of the fifth princess to the emperor. Even if his son had great courage, he would not dare to act.
On one side is the princess, on the other side is the prince. Ultimately, it is a family feud between the royal family.
Xu Chang, who was full of worries, turned the alley and bumped into a figure without noticing. He stumbled back a few steps.
"That blind man..." Xu Chang was about to step forward and curse, but the housekeeper slowly retreated from the corner: "Didn't I ask you to prepare the car? Why..."
The butler turned around with a look of horror and blinked wildly at Xu Chang.
Xu Chang was halfway through his words when, as the butler retreated, a shining long sword was revealed, and the long sword was against the butler's throat.
Immediately afterwards, a Jinyiwei appeared in front of Xuchang.
Xu Chang felt like his heart was being squeezed, and he kept taking steps backward, having an urge to run.
"Where does your lordship wish to go?"
A low voice arose.
