The heavens set sail from the courtyard

After Wang Gang and Yu Weiyi had agreed on the terms, he jumped out of the carriage, causing a commotion.

The driver immediately asked Yu Weiyi: "Prime Minister Yu, are you okay? I just saw someone jumping out of the carriage window?"

Yu Weiyi said anxiously: "Don't worry about him, go back home quickly."

The driver didn't understand what was going on, but he didn't dare to disobey Yu Weiyi's order, so he immediately drove back to the prime minister's residence.

After Yu Weiyi arrived home, he couldn't wait to get off the carriage and ran all the way into the backyard to find his wife.

Mrs. Yu was chatting with her daughter and was a little surprised to see her husband come back.

"Sir, you're back so early today?"

When Yu Weiyi saw his daughter was there, he swallowed his words.

"Father, it's just right that you're back. My daughter has found a man she likes." Yu Xiu'e happily ran to her father and said coquettishly.

Yu Weiyi was very upset now and had no mood to pay attention to his daughter.

"You went wandering outside again. You don't look like a lady from a noble family at all." Yu Weiyi said dissatisfiedly.

"Father, you will definitely be satisfied with the man I have chosen. He is this year's top scorer in the imperial examination, Du Yangxi." Yu Xiu'e didn't realize that her father's attitude was wrong.

"It's him." Yu Weiyi was stunned.

Of course he knew Du Yangxi. Yu Weiyi had also seen the paper in which Du Yangxi had won the imperial examination. He was indeed a top-ranking talent.

"If you like it, ask your mother to find out if Du Yangxi is married." Yu Weiyi said impatiently, "I have something to talk to your mother, you go down first."

Yu Xiu'e said happily: "Father, you have agreed."

Yu Weiyi said irritably: "You go down first."

Mrs. Yu also noticed that her husband was in a bad mood. After sending her daughter back to her room, she said to Yu Weiyi: "My lord, what's wrong? You just encountered something unpleasant in the court. Why lose your temper with your daughter?"

Yu Weiyi said seriously: "Did you send someone to hunt down Qianniang?"

Madam Yu's face changed and she said in panic, "What Qianniang? I don't know her."

Yu Weiyi said with an unpleasant expression: "When Xiufang fell into the water, she didn't die, and she even gave birth to a child for me."

Madam Yu finally couldn't sit still any longer and asked in shock: "How did you know?"

After hearing this, Yu Weiyi finally believed what Wang Gang said.

Twenty years ago, Yu Weiyi was just a down-and-out scholar who was rescued by an old man named Xie by chance.

Father-in-law Xie did not despise Yu Weiyi's poverty. He not only funded his studies, but also married his daughter Xie Xiufang to him.

Yu Weiyi later made great progress in his studies and passed the imperial examination to become a Jinshi. Xie Xiufang also became pregnant with his child.

But what she didn't expect was that later on, Madam Yu also took a fancy to Yu Weiyi, and even used her family's power to force Yu Weiyi to marry her.

On one side is his loving and loyal first wife, and on the other side is a young lady from a wealthy family. Yu Weiyi hesitated.

Later, when Yu Weiyi was taking Xie Xiufang back to Beijing, they encountered a shipwreck and Xie Xiufang was washed away by the flood. Yu Weiyi originally had the opportunity to save her, but he felt that this might be God helping him, so he withdrew his hand at the critical moment.

After Xie Xiufang was washed away by the flood, there was no news of her since then. Yu Weiyi naturally thought she was dead, so he married the current Mrs. Yu.

But in fact, Xie Xiufang did not die. She kept the baby in her belly and gave birth to it.

Yu Weiyi didn't know about this, but it was known by Madam Yu.

Madam Yu was afraid that someone would come back and snatch her husband away, so she decided to go all out and sent someone to kill Xie Xiufang and the child.

Unfortunately, the man came back and reported that Xie Xiufang was indeed dead, but the child was rescued by a maid and his whereabouts were unknown. Mrs. Xie has always expressed deep regret.

When Yu Weiyi learned what his wife had done, he slapped her hard in the face.

"You stupid woman." Yu Weiyi cursed: "You have the guts to hire someone to kill someone, why did you leave it unfinished?"

Madam Yu was stunned and asked fearfully, "Did the child come back to find you?" Yu Weiyi sighed and said, "My enemy knows that you hired someone to kill someone."

"Ah!" Madam Yu said in panic, "What should I do?"

Yu Weiyi's face was so terribly gloomy that even Madam Yu did not dare to touch his tiger whiskers.

Things are different now. Back then, Yu Weiyi was just a poor scholar and might have given some face to his wife's family. But now that he is the prime minister, he is no longer afraid of his wife's family.

"If I can't handle this matter well, I will lose my position as prime minister." Yu Weiyi sighed.

"Is it that serious?" Madam Yu said carefully, "You are now the Prime Minister, second only to the emperor!"

"Stupid woman, what do you know?" Yu Weiyi slapped his wife again.

"You and I are husband and wife. How can I escape responsibility if you kill someone?" Yu Weiyi said angrily.

"What should we do now?" Madam Yu said, covering her face.

"The most urgent task now is to find that child." Yu Weiyi said with a vicious look.

Madam Yu was stunned and immediately became jealous, shouting: "You are so good, Yu Weiyi, you just want to find your son after all this time."

"What do you know!" Yu Weiyi said angrily: "If he digs up the past, we will both be guilty."

When Mrs. Yu saw Yu Weiyi's murderous eyes, she suddenly became a little scared. She realized what Yu Weiyi was trying to do!
Yu Weiyi walked out of the room and found a trusted subordinate, and ordered: "Go and check who Wang Gang has been in contact with recently. The more detailed the better."

The subordinate took the order and left, and soon returned with a list to report.

The list includes all the people Wang Gang has had contact with recently, including relatives, subordinates, and friends.

Yu Weiyi checked one by one and finally saw a name.

"Du Yangxi?!"

Yu Weiyi vaguely remembered that his daughter seemed to have taken a liking to Du Yangxi, and among the people Wang Gang had contacted, there was also this Du Yangxi. Was it a coincidence?

To be on the safe side, Yu Weiyi asked someone to investigate Du Yangxi's background, and the investigation actually revealed some problems.

Du Yangxi's background is mysterious. He was raised by a widowed mother, but that mother was obviously not his biological mother.

The more Yu Weiyi read about Du Yangxi's background, the more suspicious he became, and he decided to meet him in person.

Du Yangxi now lives with his mother in the small courtyard rented for them by Madam Li. After he passed the imperial examination, Du Yangxi's home has been crowded with visitors.

Yu Weiyi was the prime minister, so it was impossible for him to lower himself to go to the Du family. He directly sent someone to bring Du Yangxi and his mother to the prime minister's residence.

Who would dare not go when the Prime Minister invites them? Yu Xiu'e thought that her father asked Du Yangxi and his mother to come to discuss the marriage between the two families, so she was naturally very happy.

Yu Weiyi went with the flow and specifically asked Du Yangxi to bring his mother along.

After the two families met, Yu Weiyi kept staring at Du Yangxi. He indeed saw the face of an old friend in him, but Du Yangxi's mother had long been disfigured, and Yu Weiyi could not recognize her.

On the contrary, Du's mother, after hearing Yu Weiyi speak, was as if she had seen a ghost and became extremely nervous.

Yu Weiyi had been observing secretly, and when he saw Du's mother's distraught look, he immediately knew what was going on!

"Du Huiyuan, it's getting late today. You and your mother should stay here for one night and leave early tomorrow morning!" Yu Weiyi said deliberately.

"No, I dare not disturb the Prime Minister." Mother Du said nervously: "Xi'er, let's go home."

Seeing that his mother was determined to leave, Du Yangxi naturally did not dare to stop her.

"My Lord Prime Minister, I thank you for your kindness, but my mother is not used to sleeping in a strange place." Du Yangxi clasped his fists.

Yu Weiyi said with a double meaning: "You should stay! We are all family from now on!"

Du's mother became even more frightened and urged Du Yangxi to leave.

At this time, the servants of the Xiangguo Mansion surrounded Du Yangxi and his mother. (End of this chapter)
