The people from Prince Chung who stayed furthest away all arrived, but his eldest son was nowhere to be seen.

"Hmm, let's go take a look first!" Yang Zixuan brought Mu Rousang to the main hall, and when they arrived, the couple was the first to arrive.

The Gui Yuan was the farthest from the main hall, and the Matriarch Yang was the one with the highest seniority. Naturally, it could be counted as the last, but Su Waner and Yang Zizhi were not far from the main hall.

"The two of you are here. Sit to the side first. Hmph, someone, go and take a look at that evil creature, why isn't it here yet?"

The people from Prince Chung who stayed furthest away all arrived, but his eldest son was nowhere to be seen.

Someone outside replied to his errand and went to Embroidery House to look for the two of them, while Su Waner came in from another direction, and still did not see Yang Zizhi.

Prince Chung looked at her and said: "You came from the side hall?"

"In reply to my royal father, yes. There has been a ruckus outside recently, and all the shops are closed. My wife is currently planning to cut back on the expenses, and only when there is surplus food in the family can she not panic."

Su Waner replied very respectfully, but her words made people unable to find fault with him.

Prince Chung nodded his head, and said: "You are the first wife, so you need to put in more effort into handling the household's matters. These kinds of days will pass very quickly, I hope that you can take this opportunity to get rid of the idle people in the house."

Even the Prince Chung felt that there were too many idle people in this mansion, it could be seen how extravagant the owners of this mansion were.

Su Waner very properly sat on the second seat, facing Mu Rousang and her wife, seeing that it was getting late, while the young master of the Yang family had not appeared.

"Where's Zi Zhi?" Prince Chung's gaze was cold.

Su Waner quickly replied: "My daughter-in-law spent the entire afternoon at the Flower Hall busying herself with matters at home, and did not know if my husband was still at home."

"I'm afraid he went out again. Earlier, I sent my wife out to find him, but she was nowhere to be seen." The Matriarch Yang walked in from the door, and seeing that Yang Zizhi was the only one not home, he said: "Did something happen that you invited me over specifically?"

The Prince Chung hurriedly went forward to help her onto the throne. After that, he replied, "That's right. The Emperor has given the order for me to return tomorrow to tidy up. In a few days, I will lead my troops to Shu Province."

"Father, are we going to war?" Mu Rousang was very worried.

Seeing that it was her who had asked the question, Prince Chung comforted her: "This time, we are not going through the canal, it is sealed. Moreover, the ice from the north to the south is too thick, it will not affect your hometown."

"Go attack Sichuan?" Matriarch Yang frowned and thought, then asked: "Is it because of the order?"

The Prince Chung wanted to lead the troops to flatten the situation, but he was not worried at all. Smiling, he said: "After the Emperor knows about it, he is not convinced, but there are two things that need to be said about me entering the palace today. This is one of the reasons, the other thing is that he has already made an explicit decree to confer upon us the title of empress at the beginning of next year, after this year's ceremony ends."

When everyone heard this, they fell silent. No one expected that this year's life would be so difficult.

A few days later, when Mu Rousang heard that he had led his troops to Shu Province, she did not feel worried at all. It was as if Princess Chung had disappeared from the mansion, and without Matriarch Yang mentioning anything, no one dared to bring it up again.

A few days later, Prince Chung sent a letter home from Shu. When Yang Zixuan returned from the yamen that day, he looked unhappy.

During dinner, Mu Rousang saw that he was still unhappy, so she asked: "Husband, did I make you unhappy?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's a letter from Father in Shu."

Mu Rousang picked up her bowl of rice and asked while biting her chopsticks, "You lost?"

Yang Zixuan shook his head and said: "Victory! Royal father has been leading troops at the border all year round, and naturally cannot be compared to those paper garrisons. The Jin King borrowed troops from Beidingzhou and Qu Zhou Province, and only the Li Clan has been stationed at the southwest border all year round.

Mu Rousang asked him with a face full of doubt: "Father should be happy that you have won the battle, why are you still so worried?"

"But... Today, the news spread within the palace that none of the subjects who were present when the late emperor passed away were summoned to the palace this morning. Besides, Grand Imperial Concubine Xian was really placed under house arrest by the current emperor, and at the same time, there were rumours in the six tribes that the King of Xiangyang, Yu Xiang Prefecture, had announced that the late emperor had been persecuted to death by the current emperor … "

Yang Zixuan's tone was heavy, he did not tell Mu Rousang that his subordinates, the merchant group, had also not returned because of the unrest in the Great Zhou Empire. It was not that they did not want to return, but that their return route had been sealed off by the Crooked Plains' Li Clan, and it was very difficult for them to do so.

Mu Rousang did not know how to persuade him, and merely accompanied him to quietly eat, then brewed a pot of hot tea and placed it on top of a few small tables: "When the sky falls, there will still be a tall one holding it up! Our family is fine, so I am at ease. "

Yang Zixuan rubbed his forehead, and said: "I'm just afraid that tomorrow's news will spread, the capital will become even more chaotic."

As expected, on the second day, a loyal subject of the previous emperor was shouting grievances in front of the throne room. As he rolled over the mountains of blades and seas of flames, another pile of corpses lay before the throne room …

It caused a thousand ripples, and the position of the new emperor was in danger!

In the blink of an eye, it was already June.

After lunch that day, Mu Rousang lazily slept on the soft couch to take a nap. When she woke up from her good sleep, she found that Yang Zixuan had already come back and was squeezed next to her on the couch to take a nap.

"You're awake?" Yang Zixuan said with his eyes closed.

"Oh?" Mu Rousang put down the teacup in her hand, glanced at the shocked Yang Zixuan, and said: "Xing Er is the second rate girl in Eldest Sister-in-Law's courtyard. That day, Eldest Sister-in-Law plotted against me for my dowry.

Yang Zixuan took a sip of his tea and said: "I can't meddle in the matters of the inner courtyard. However, if someone dares to bully you, you must be ruthless."

It was obvious that he understood Mu Rousang very well, which was why he said those words.

Mu Rousang leaned her back against the back of the large chair, and asked slowly: "It's been a long time since she last spoke, what's the matter this time?"

When he heard the news today, he was greatly shocked. After thinking for a while, he felt that Xing Er's mother must have seen through some tricks, so he decided to investigate this matter thoroughly.

"Young Mistress, she secretly sent a message to me, saying that I, her mother, have discovered that the Eldest Young Lady is very unhappy recently."

"Is that true?"

Yang Zixuan and Mu Rousang looked at each other, and they could see the shock in each other's eyes. There was even a half-dead Princess in Main yard, where was this reckless Su Waner supposed to put up a ruckus?

"Did he say that something was wrong?" Yang Zixuan lowered his eyes, making it hard to tell what he was thinking.

Xia Yu hurriedly replied: "Actually, I'm talking about the Huan Er beside Eldest Young Lady."

"Huan Er?" Mu Rousang frowned and said: "I remember that she is a person who doesn't like to talk, and that she prefers to stay in the courtyard and not go out. If not for the fact that they have paid attention to her, I'm afraid everyone would have thought that there were only three big girls in Eldest Young Lady."

Xia Yu answered: Yes, Huan Er has always been quiet by nature, and doesn't like to go out and walk around, but recently, when I heard that Huan Er's mother often goes out secretly, and I was afraid that I would be worried too much, I took the opportunity to secretly go over when I wasn't on duty. I even asked some of her old sisters who were guarding the door about it, and said that Xing Er frequently went to the Su Family in secret recently and saw the Su Family's young master.

Mu Rousang reached out to stroke her hair and thought, she was only wearing a light lotus common attire today, with her hair tied up with a white jade lotus hairpin, and two pink pearls hanging from her ears, it made her delicate and tender skin seem even more so, until her fingers were about to break. Yang Zixuan's fingers were itchy, and she really wanted to reach out and pinch them.

She sensed Yang Zixuan's intentions and couldn't help but give him two white balls as a reward. I always felt that this was a little inappropriate. "

Who is Yang Zixuan? That was a fox spirit, and he replied with a smile: "The matter is very simple, eldest sister-in-law is already the host, and mother is already sick in bed, so all the major matters in the family are decided by her, other than big brother always provoking her, there are no other matters worth her attention. This matter needs to be properly investigated."

Mu Rousang said gently, "Is Darling prepared to do it himself?" She even winked playfully at him.

"You want to know?" Yang Zixuan turned, and with a flash of electricity, his brain was turned into paste, and without hesitation, he nodded his head.

She then reacted and glared at him coquettishly, leaving him speechless. She was already married to him, yet he would occasionally fire at her to prove his charm. Are you going to tell me or not? "

If Xia Yu was not present, she would have carried her into the room and rolled her back onto the bed.

"It's simple, Sister-in-law did some things that she shouldn't have done behind everyone's back. If it were any ordinary matter, she wouldn't have secretly sent Huan Er to do it, she only needed to send someone to invite her big brother over to the mansion, or to return home."

Although the investigation outside was very strict, but it was still very easy for Su Waner to return to her parents' home. Why did she have to hide?

"No, we have to get someone to investigate this."

Mu Rousang smelled a conspiracy.

Yang Zixuan said coldly: Leave the matters outside to me, go and inspect the manor and see what is happening. If anything strange happens, she will definitely be a demon, so you must be careful, I will not be home today, but you four, Chun Yan and the Aunt Liu must be on guard, do not ask anyone else to sneak into the house.

Xia Yu felt that her young master was worried about his young mistress, and very cheerfully replied: "Young Master only needs to be at ease, other than a few servants, no one else will be able to enter the house easily. Even if anyone wants to enter, there must be people from all over the world watching over us, afraid that the people from this house may have gotten mixed up with something that they shouldn't have."

Although the Princess Chung had lost her authority, the people she had left behind were still there. It was impossible for Yang Zixuan and Mu Rousang to change all the servants in the courtyard.

"It's a good thing I'm almost out of it. I'll only be staying here for half a year." Mu Rousang sighed, she was truly tired living in this mansion.
