She didn't say the rest of the words.
However, when she attended the banquet at the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion today, she finally understood something.
Previously, Princess Liu insisted that she adopt Young Master Du as her adopted son.
I'm afraid he already knew that Du Ming'an would come back this time, and based on his own merits, he would take the position of the crown prince away from the second young master Du.
But if the young master of the Du family becomes her adopted son, I think Du Ming'an will give up the opportunity to regain the position of the prince because Zhao Yunzhu likes the young master Du.
But Princess Liu was wrong after all. Du Ming'an didn't care about anything in the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion at all.
He has now been appointed as the general by the emperor, in charge of an army of 100,000 in Shu.
If I go to Shu in the future, I’m afraid I will never return to Chang’an.
Therefore, Princess Liu and Queen Mother Liu never troubled him again.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade her young lady, Aunt Hua had to give up and told a few maids to be more alert.
At the banquet at the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
The maid brought the dishes up, and the table was already filled with delicious food and wine.
Zhao Yunzhu jumped to a quiet seat and sat down.
Sitting at the same table with her were Princess Liu, Princess Xian, and Concubine Zhu from Prime Minister Liu's family.
The Liu family currently has no mistress. Concubine Zhu is in charge of the inner house. The tasks of welcoming and seeing off guests, and visiting relatives and friends now fall on Concubine Liu.
Because she was Prime Minister Liu's concubine, no one in the Chang'an family looked down on Aunt Zhu.
Zhao Yunzhu greeted a few people before sitting down next to Princess Xian Song Shumin.
"Concubine Yun, where did you go just now? I sent people to look for you for a long time, but I couldn't find you."
As soon as she sat down, Princess Xian Song Shumin asked her where she had been with a little curiosity.
"I just want to go out for a walk. It's so boring here."
Zhao Yunzhu responded casually.
As Mrs. Du raised her wine glass, everyone raised it together and drank the wine in the glass together. Only then did the banquet officially begin.
Zhao Yunzhu put down his wine glass and picked up his chopsticks, but he hadn't decided what to eat yet.
The virtuous princess beside him spoke again at an inopportune moment, "General Du has finally come to an end of his hardships. This is cause for celebration."
Zhao Yunzhu frowned slightly. These words made her lose her appetite immediately.
"yes."
She placed the chopsticks in her hand on the table, turned around and looked at Song Shumin calmly with a smile.
She wanted to see what Song Shumin had to say next.
"You two are such a pity."
Princess Xian looked as if she couldn't understand the anger on Zhao Yunzhu's face.
Keep picking fights.
Zhao Yunzhu raised the corner of her lips and sneered, "Princess Xian, do you mean that Madam Du doesn't act with her brain?"
Princess Xian was stunned.
Who would have thought that as soon as Zhao Yunzhu opened her mouth, she would actually direct the spearhead towards Madam Du.
"Concubine Yun has misunderstood!"
Princess Xian could only explain with a smile, and the fierce aura on her face had long been suppressed.
Now there is only peace.
Zhao Yunzhu smiled contemptuously, turned around and picked up the chopsticks on the table to eat again.
Princess Xian was left standing there in embarrassment.
The banquet ended with everyone chatting and laughing.
Everyone stood up and said goodbye.
Seeing that half of the guests had left and Zhao Yunzhu still hadn't seen Du Ming'an come out, she frowned secretly and felt more worried.
She didn't know where Du Ming'an was now, let alone whether he was safe.
Seeing that she had not left yet, Princess Xian secretly observed her.
Zhao Yunzhu searched for Du Mingan in the crowd.
I feel nervous.
She was getting a little impatient waiting and had lost some of her patience.
She sighed secretly and was about to leave.
From afar, I saw Du Mingan's figure hurriedly approaching.
The servant behind him was dragging an old slave who was tied up.
The group walked towards Madam Du.
Zhao Yunzhu followed unconsciously.
"Grandmother, father, second uncle!"
Du Ming'an greeted the elders together. Liu Cheng and the virtuous king, who were about to leave, stopped when they saw this.
Zhao Yunzhu quietly moved forward and saw Du Ming'an's guards throwing the tied-up Manager Fu to the ground.
Manager Fu's mouth was blocked by a piece of gauze.
He struggled to look at the second master, and let out an indistinct and miserable cry.
Trying to arouse the vigilance of Master Du Er.
But when Mr. Du Er saw Manager Fu being tied up by his nephew and coming forward, he became nervous and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
What Manager Fu did was what he was ordered to do.
When Manager Fu came back earlier, he clearly said that everything had already been taken care of.
Only then did he feel relieved.
Later, when his nephew came back to life, he asked Manager Fu about it. Manager Fu swore in front of his people that his nephew had no idea about it.
He believed it, and therefore did not have the intention to kill Manager Fu.
But what about today?
When her nephew came up with Manager Fu, she guessed without him saying a word that her nephew must have known something.
"What is Ming An doing?"
When Marquis Yong'an saw his son like this, he walked forward with a somewhat anxious look on his face, after all, the guests had not yet left.
The son came with someone.
I'm afraid something will happen.
Du Ming'an raised his eyebrows and glanced at his father, then pointed at the person on the ground and said, "Do you recognize this person, father?"
Yong'an Hou hesitated and looked at the man who was being pressed to his knees by the guards. "He looks familiar..."
"Where's your grandmother? Do you still recognize her?"
Du Ming'an curled the corners of his lips and looked at his grandmother with a smile.
Madam Du glanced at him, her brows furrowed. "Isn't this Steward Fu, who works under Old Twenty?" She looked at her eldest grandson as she spoke. "Could it be that he has offended you?"
Mrs. Du didn't notice at all that Mr. Du's face turned ashen.
"Oh right, he's Steward Fu, who works under my second brother!" Yong'an Hou stood up and said, "But did he annoy you?"
Marquis Yong'an thought that the mansion was busy today and this short-sighted steward had offended his son.
"Ming'an, don't bother with a servant."
Du Ming'an looked at his father, his eyes full of contempt and ridicule.
But he ignored his father and looked at his second uncle instead, "Second uncle, this man is your steward Fu, right?"
Everyone followed Du Ming'an's gaze and discovered that Master Du II's face was ashen and his expression was evasive, as if he was hiding something.
"Yes, yes."
Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Mr. Du Er had no choice but to admit it.
If he didn't dare to admit it, it would arouse everyone's suspicion. After all, his mother and elder brother had already recognized Manager Fu's identity.
"That's good. Second Uncle, please go to the Dali Temple with you."
"Ming An, what are you doing? Today is your big day, what are you doing?"
Madam Du's face darkened as she glared at him. "A servant offended you, and you beat, scolded, or punished him at will. But to have him sent to the Dali Temple is just a farce!"
Du Ming'an was already accustomed to his grandmother's favoritism.
He sneered and looked at his grandmother, his smile full of mockery, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you today. My second uncle and I are going to the Dali Temple today!"
