Chapter 165 Returning to the Palace
In an instant, the guard at the door of the founding marquis was beaten to the ground.

"Young madam! Do you want to call into the mansion!" Du Zhien hadn't been so cheerful for a long time, and his blood was boiling.

Cen Sanniang looked at the chaos inside and shook her head with restraint: "If you hit again, if you smashed the mourning hall of Mr. Cui, then my family is wrong. The mansion of the Duke of Jianguo is too big. If we want to hide the second girl, we can't find it. It will anger me." The Cui family, it will be bad if you attack the second girl. I'm out of anger, go back home!"

Du Zhien let Cen Sanniang and Xia Chu sit on two horses, spat towards the Jianguohou's mansion, surrounded by Cen Sanniang and Xiong Jiu, and returned in high spirits.

But in the palace, the queen fainted in Wu Zhaoyi Palace the day before and was sent back to the palace.

Du Yansui was on duty outside and left with the emperor.Looking back, I knew the reason why the Queen was stunned.He didn't go to Wu Zhaoyi.

The next day, when he was waiting for the handover, he went home for vacation, Hei Qi rushed over and told him everything about what happened in the Jianguohou Mansion.

Du Yansui was silent for a while, and asked Hei Qi to wait outside the palace gate.He turned around and entered the harem in the name of inspection.

Seeing him coming, Wu Zhaoyi was not surprised, and apologized to him first: "General Du, yesterday, my palace deliberately teased the queen. I will tell you why."

After she was pregnant, her body was not bloated, her face was like a lotus blooming, and she had a plump beauty.

Du Yansui turned sideways and said softly, "Ma'am, he went back after seeing Qujiang Jingge yesterday."

The emotions in Wu Zhaoyi's eyes drifted away like clouds and smoke.He has gone back, which means he has really come.She couldn't help thinking of him standing in the night wind on the turret of the Drum Tower of the Tai Chi Palace that year.

When he left Hongzhou, he slapped her, and she knew he hated it.Yet he came anyway.Wu Zhaoyi closed her eyes.

He left after seeing Qujiang Jingge... She thought of Cui Dalang's death.

He didn't send a message from someone he knew well in the palace, and handed everything over to Du Yansui.

"Since he can trust you, Bengong can also trust you." Wu Zhaoyi opened his eyes with clear eyes.

Du Yansui smiled slightly and said, "Grandma, my wife and my younger sister went to the Jianguohou's mansion this morning to express their condolences. The Kaiguohou took advantage of the large number of people in the mansion to force my sister to stay in the mansion to guard Cui Dalang's spirit. Grandma was so angry that she passed out. Together with my wife, I was kicked out of the mansion by Lord Cui."

Wu Zhaoyi almost laughed out loud.This Cui family is really crazy.I don't even think about what kind of family the Du family is.Even the family members of the 24 meritorious officials in Lingxiao Pavilion dared to forcibly detain them, forcing them to cry and keep their filial piety.He also drove away the first-rank Duke's wife and the third-rank Shuren.Are all the Conglong heroes who were the late emperor really dead?The Cui family insisted that they belonged to a powerful family with five surnames and seven surnames, but they forgot that Du Ruhui was the most admired by the group of veterans who followed the late emperor.

Du Yansui continued: "The Du family, of course, can't rush into the mansion of the founding marquis to rob people like idle helpers. We can only argue for reason and file a lawsuit. If grandma comes forward, the old Duke Yuchi will not ignore it. I don't know if this time Can the chancellors of the three provinces under the Shumen still protect the Cui family as before? It is necessary to ask the empress to help."

"The Cui family is too crazy. I'm angry when I hear it. General Du can go home to appease the old lady." Wu Zhaoyi's eyes flashed a bright light.

It has only been two years since the emperor ascended the throne, and the real power of the three provinces and six ministries is still in the hands of a group of veteran officials, who cannot be dictated by.The emperor looked mild-tempered, but he was already impatient.Didn't she instigate Cui Shi to provoke the Du family, because she wanted to suppress those old officials by taking care of Cui Shi?The emperor is naturally eager.

"Your Majesty is far-sighted... If your Majesty shakes her hand, the Du family's lawsuit is likely to win. I will resign." Du Yansui bowed her hands and turned to leave.

Wu Zhaoyi looked at his back and murmured: "I can see the intention of my palace, and make the best use of the situation to point to those old stubborn people in the court. Du Yansui, you are also a talent."

Du Yansui didn't stop for a single step, and rode out of the palace gate together with Hei Qi to the Jianguohou's mansion.

The two stopped at the entrance of the alley of the Founding Marquis' Mansion.

"Master, what's the trick?" Hei Qi asked.

Du Yansui looked at the mansion of the Marquis of Jianguo and said slowly: "It's a plan to slow down the army. You go back to the mansion and tell grandma, I will definitely bring Yan Wan home safely."

He whipped the whip, and the horse rushed forward with a long hiss.

He got off his horse at the gate of the founding marquis' mansion.Du Yansui walked up the steps slowly.

The steward looked at him in the purple Qianniu suit, looking imposing, and knew his identity.There was a bit of awe and vigilance in his eyes: "General Du, wait a moment, the villain will go and report."

When Hei Qi went to the palace gate to wait for him, he didn't know that Cen Sanniang had caused a scene with the guards in the palace.Du Yansui didn't know either.

He stands at the door.Seeing that the guards on both sides pressed their hands on their waists, they looked like they were about to draw their swords at any time.I thought to myself, the Cui family's arrogance made grandma dizzy, and drove Cen Sanniang and the others out of the house.It should be me who suffers and gets angry.Why are you acting so indignant?
Not long after, Master Cui came out from inside, glaring at Du Yansui with his hands behind his back, "If General Du comes to express his condolences, I welcome you. If you want to take Lingmei away, it is absolutely impossible. The Cui family has a marriage certificate." In hand! Your sister is the daughter-in-law of my Cui family."

Even the gate of the mansion refused to let him in.

"The Cui family wanted their younger sister to hold the spirit to get married in the dark, so they had to use a sedan chair to carry them into the Jianguohou's mansion. If they confiscated people privately, even if they forced my sister and the spirit card to worship the heavens and the earth, the Du family would not recognize it. Is it possible? The two guards assembled for a fight? The emperor used swords at his feet, but in the end it was the Jingzhao Mansion who dispatched the soldiers to quell it. The matter became so serious that the Jingzhao Mansion couldn’t solve the case, so it had to hand it to the emperor and ask for an order.” Du Yansui said calmly.

"Thinking to use the strategy of slowing down the army to trick Benhou into letting your sister go? Heh heh, General Du has a good idea! Do you really think Benhou is a three-year-old child so easy to deceive?" Cui Houye saw through Du Yansui's idea.

Du Yansui smiled and said, "Didn't the Cui family have a marriage certificate in hand and are ready to sue? If that's the case, why not be generous and see us in the courtroom. If my sister is detained, the case of the Kaiguohou's mansion will be settled." If you don't fight, you lose. What do you think?"

What can Lord Cui say?Du Yansui was different from Cen Sanniang, he actually ran to reason.Lord Cui stared at Du Yansui and said, "Your Du family is going to sue?"

"Grandmother insisted on not letting her younger sister marry in the shadows. Filial piety is too great. As a grandson, I can only obey. The Kaiguo Mansion detains my sister, but asks my family to write an extra clause in the lawsuit. That's all." Du Yansui said frankly.

"Ms. Du, please come out." Master Cui sneered, "The Du family is ready to lose."

Du Yansui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled: "Even if the Du family loses, my sister will still have to be carried in a sedan chair into the Jianguohou's mansion in a legitimate manner. What's the name of a memorial tablet secretly worshiping at the Cui family. Right, Lord Hou?" "

Master Cui looked at Du Yansui, and couldn't tell what he was thinking.Call him angry, and keep smiling.Say he is not angry, how could he not be angry when the girl was forcibly detained?

Things have become so noisy, Cui Houye's mind was attracted by the sentence of litigation.Forcibly detaining the person, it is impossible for the Du family to be unresponsive.Breaking into the mansion to rob people is a situation where both sides suffer.Litiating uprightly suits Lord Cui's wishes.The Cui family will not lose.

During the confrontation, only a few girls and women helped Du Yanwan out.As soon as she let go, Du Yanwan slapped her across the face.Seeing her brother, Du Yanwan was overjoyed, lifted her skirt and threw herself into his arms.

Du Yansui straightened her sideburns and asked, "Have you ever suffered a loss?"

Du Yanwan looked contemptuously at the servants of the Cui family with colorful faces and necks, and said proudly: "No."

Du Yansui smiled, asked Du Yanwan to get on the horse, jumped up lightly, sat behind her sister, and saluted Cui Houye: "Hou Ye saw that it was a tactic to slow down the army, and I didn't hide it from Hou Ye, it was indeed the idea. If the Cui family wins the lawsuit, I will send my younger sister to marry in person. If the Cui family loses, please find another good wife."

The lack of warmth and fire made Jianguo Hou feel a little angry, and he walked back in a huff.

Du Yansui rode his horse and went back with his sister in his arms.

After returning to the mansion, the two went straight to the Zhengqi Hall.

Seeing her grandmother lying on the bed, Du Yanwan cried and rushed over: "Grandma!"

Du Yansui gently shook Cen Sanniang's hand, and smiled slightly: "Don't worry."

Mrs. Du was both surprised and delighted, and Yu Jie immediately left halfway: "Yan Sui, how can the founding marquis be willing to let him go?"

Du Yansui stepped forward and knelt down in front of the bed: "Grandmother, my grandson made a presumptuous claim and wants to adjudicate this marriage with the Cui family court."

"Grandmother had intended this for a long time, and sent someone to send a letter to Old Duke Yuchi, asking him to help the Du family for your grandfather's sake." Mrs. Du said.He patted Du Yanwan on the shoulder again and said, "Go to see your mother. She doesn't know about it yet, and if I don't see you for a day, I'm afraid I'll miss you."

Du Yanwan wiped away her tears and said with a smile, "Well, I'll just go here."

When he left, his steps were light and happy like a bird.

Cen Sanniang watched coldly, not knowing why, she couldn't be happy.

After Du Yanwan left, she saw that Du Yansui even sent Yin's mother away, and she felt a little panicked.
