The whole family is obsessed with love? The princess woke them up one after another.

After all, the King of Wu had been the crown prince for so many years, so he could still manage this kind of thing.

Princess Wu changed into inconspicuous clothes and entered the Xu family home with the cloth shop's deliverymen.

"Clan Chief." When Princess Wu saw Clan Chief Xu, she simply nodded slightly.

She is no longer the little girl in the clan; she is the Queen Consort of Wu!

Chief Xu asked calmly, "What brings Princess Wu here?"

When Princess Wu saw Chief Xu's knowing look and feigned ignorance, she was furious: "Chief, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

"Your Highness, what explanation should I give you?" Chief Xu looked coldly at Princess Wu.

Princess Wu was shocked and furious: "I brought you out here, and I'm the one who let the court find you."

"I clearly gave you a direct path to success, and you chose to become teachers?"

"Now that you're not in the imperial court, do you have to resort to such a roundabout way to teach others?"

"My son is still young, so we can wait. However, if you have a few officials in the court, you can make arrangements earlier and provide him with more assistance."

Why can't you use a two-pronged approach?

After hearing this, Chief Xu couldn't help but laugh, his laughter filled with sarcasm: "Princess Wu, you've misunderstood."

"The Xu family has never cared about fame or fortune."

"His Majesty has recognized the Xu family's abilities. We can go and teach, cultivating pillars of the Great Rui. This is what our Xu family should do."

"Entering the imperial court as an official? Competing for fame and fortune? That's not the style of the Xu family!"

Princess Wu stared wide-eyed at Chief Xu as if she had seen a ghost: "Are you crazy?"

"Back then, you arranged for so many people to get close to the princes and nobles, but you just couldn't find the most suitable opportunity."

"Until I met the Prince of Wu, who was still a prince back then, you all asked me to marry him, and that you would recommend me when the time was right."

"You're telling me now that the Xu family doesn't care about fame and fortune?"

"After all these years, you've never cared about fame or fortune, so why are you deliberately leaving your names out in secret?"

The veil of pretense was ripped away, and Chief Xu's face darkened: "Your Highness, do you really want to sever all ties with your family?"

"At home?" Princess Wu sneered. "Since it's at home, why can't you consider my son's feelings more?"

"When my son ascends the throne, he will naturally bring unparalleled glory to the Xu family!"

"You're just going to teach, that's too slow."

The clan chief Xu said in a deep voice, "The Xu family does not need the princess to instruct us on how to act."

"You've crossed the river and burned the bridge!" Princess Wu roared in fury. "Don't forget, the reason you were known to the court and given important positions was entirely because of my efforts."

"If you don't want to ruin this opportunity, do as I say!"

Chief Xu was not afraid at all, and instead sneered, "Is the Princess threatening this old man?"

"Then Your Highness had better think carefully. Can you bear the consequences of a complete breakdown in relations?"

"You!" Princess Wu slammed her hand on the table and stood up, glaring angrily at Chief Xu.

Of course, she wouldn't dare to break off relations.

That would do her no good at all, and it would also ruin her son's future.

Princess Wu took a deep breath and sat back down: "Clan leader, the family has been planning for many years, only to end up teaching... Are you content with that?"

"We can cultivate pillars of society for the Great Rui, which is exactly what we scholars should do." Chief Xu's impassioned words made Princess Wu's vision go black.

What exactly happened?

How did their people's thinking change so drastically?

Queen Wu asked, "Clan leader, will the students you train be loyal to my son?"

Let them try a different approach if they want.

Anyway, her son is still young, so she can wait.

"Teaching should naturally not be done with ulterior motives," Chief Xu said righteously.

"If there has to be one, it must be loyalty to the emperor and love for the people!"

The Queen of Wu pressed further, "Which ruler are you loyal to?"

"The Xu family does not participate in the struggle for the crown prince position, and the students they teach are only loyal to Da Rui!" The Xu clan chief's statement enraged the Wu princess.

"absurd!"

"Don't forget, my son also has Xu family blood in his veins!"

Chief Xu sighed, "Your Highness, you are too selfish."

"If you raise your son like this, how can he possibly have the world in his heart?"

Princess Wu was furious.

Not only did they betray her, they also slandered her son!

How could she not be furious?

"Clan leader, have you thought this through? If you don't support my son, then from now on, the Xu family and I will have nothing to do with each other anymore!" Princess Wu declared ruthlessly.

"Should he become a relative of the imperial family, or a regular schoolteacher...? Surely the clan chief can choose?"

On one side was power and glory, on the other was obscurity. She refused to believe that the ambitious clan leader, who had been plotting for so long, would give up the power they had wanted for so many years.

Chief Xu smiled and said, "Of course we will make the selection."

Princess Wu nodded slightly, "That's more like it."

"The Xu family will teach diligently, nurturing more outstanding talents to serve the court and benefit the people."

Chief Xu's righteous indignation caused Princess Wu's vision to blur: "You, you all..."

"You'll regret this!"

After saying this, Princess Wu turned and quickly left.

After she left, Chief Xu's straight back slumped, and his spirit seemed to have been drained in an instant, leaving him looking ashen.

"Father." The cautious voice brought Chief Xu back to his senses. He looked at the person who had come and waved.

Xu Hongming sat down and felt sad seeing his father like this. He said, "Dad, it would actually be a good thing to go and teach."

"The imperial court... is too dangerous."

"The Prince Rui's mansion is not something we can afford to offend."

"Moreover, that position already has an owner, and there is absolutely no chance for the King of Wu to ascend to the throne."

He was only released and reunited with his family after his family arrived in the capital.

Chief Xu smiled bitterly: "Who could have imagined that the accumulation of our generations would..."

They should have made a significant contribution and left a lasting mark on the imperial court.

But now...

"Father, do we have a choice?" Xu Hongming asked with a wry smile.

He also wanted to make a name for himself in the imperial court and gain widespread fame.

But... reality doesn't allow it.

Who made Princess Chen'an completely unconventional?

People who know he is such a capable person will only respectfully ask him to come out of retirement.

Who would lock him up like Qi Zhiyu did?

Chief Xu smiled wryly: "There really was no other choice."

"Luckily, we were well-educated, which saved our lives."

Even now, Chief Xu still feels terrified when he thinks about what happened back then.

Misfortune can strike from the sky while you're sitting at home.

Suddenly, someone broke into the house, and within a single breath, everyone was poisoned and collapsed.

Forget about fighting back; if Qi Zhiyu doesn't agree, he won't even have a chance to beg for mercy!
