The capital was not peaceful today. This was something that anyone living in the capital would be able to sense.

The previously lively streets were now very quiet. The shops in the capital were not like those in other places, where they would close on New Year's Eve.

There were a lot of people in the capital. In previous years, almost all of the shops of different sizes would be open for business. However, this morning, the shopkeepers who wanted to open their doors closed them after sensing that something was wrong.

Earning money was important, but if he lost his life, it would be useless no matter how much money he earned.

When Xu Shiqiu escorted his mother, his wife, his brother and his brother, he saw an empty street in the capital.

Inside the carriage, Dong Shu also saw the scenery on the street outside through the curtain. After they passed by, the other people's carriages also slowly drove over.

Withdrawing her gaze, Dong Shu looked at Old Madame Xu and asked: "Mother, is Brother-in-law really going to ascend the throne?"

Until this point, Dong Shu still felt that it was inconceivable.

Originally, they thought that they would need to flee for their lives today. However, they did not expect that, even though there was chaos, it was quickly settled.

As for the Master Xuan Ling, it was already a good day. The second day of the first month was also a good day for the new Emperor to ascend the throne.

When the Old Madame Xu heard Dong Shu's question, she could not help but laugh. Then, she looked at Dong Shu and said, "Not to mention you, there are many people who did not expect that the date would be so soon."

Old Madame Xu was similar to many other people in understanding the personality of the Emperor Ruikang. She knew that the Emperor Ruikang wasn't a decisive person, but she never expected that he would be exceptionally decisive in this matter.

From tomorrow onwards, Fifth Prince and Xu Nuanwen would move into the palace. As for the Fifth Prince Palace, they would leave it for Ye Huan and the other two brothers to live in first.

Seeing how Emperor Ruikang had even arranged for Ye Jingxing and his wife to live in the palace, no matter how shocked they were, they could only silently accept such a decisive Emperor Ruikang.

The Madame Ye sat to the side, listening to the conversation between her sister-in-law and her mother-in-law. Only then did she raise her head to look at her mother-in-law and say, "I heard that His Majesty's health isn't very good."

When Madame Ye said this, she glanced at her.

This matter, Old Madame Xu was naturally aware of it, especially after today's incident. It was likely that Emperor Ruikang would be greatly angered by it as well.

Ye Jingche was worried for his son. He was afraid that he might not even be able to grasp the mentality of his other sons.

At this time, he was afraid that he really did not have much energy to care about these things, which was why he was able to hand over power so quickly.

It was just that these words could not be said clearly.

Thinking about it, the Old Madame Xu paused for a moment, then looked at the Madame Ye and said: "No matter what, once the new Emperor ascends the throne, our Xu Family will definitely be rewarded. After you go back, remember to remind your family members that don't take this opportunity to cause trouble, or else Xu Family's family will not let anyone off! "

Madame Ye knew that his mother-in-law's words were out to beat him up, and to use his own mouth to beat up the children of the next generation.

Most importantly, she wanted to make use of this opportunity to give a hint to Second Sister-in-Law, that idiot. After all, her sister-in-law had been with her for many years.

After all, there were some words that Nanny was inconvenient to say. Third Sister-in-Law was not suitable to say, and only his own identity was most suitable.

Seeing Madame Ye nod her head, Old Madame Xu did not continue speaking.

Although Emperor Ruikang had chosen Ye Jingxing as his son-in-law, his son-in-law still had not ascended to the throne.

Even if he ascended the throne and the Emperor Ruikang still existed, then he would be suppressed by others.

The most important point was that he was not the only son of Emperor Ruikang. Although he had obtained Ye Jingche, he had yet to decide how to deal with Ye Jingche.

Also, there were his son-in-law's brothers, especially the Ye Jingde who made people feel that he was not good. Whether he would cause any trouble or not, was still unknown.

Seeing the worried look on her mother-in-law's face, Madame Ye and Dong Shu did not speak anymore, and only sat inside the carriage with her.

The carriage quickly reached Xu Family, when the servants of Xu Family saw Xu Shiqiu riding on his horses from afar, they had already opened the door, waiting for the carriage to arrive, without stopping, they directly entered the courtyard.

Xu Family were very quiet, this was the latest news that everyone in the capital had heard.

After His Majesty had personally said that the sutra was located in Fifth Prince, the Xu Family did not celebrate unrestrainedly. Instead, the family quietly gathered together for dinner.

What happened in the palace today, the Old Madame Xu picked and told the rest of the people at home what she could say.

When she finished speaking, Emperor Ruikang personally said that she would be staying in Fifth Prince, but as expected, a hint of excitement flashed past Madame Jiang's eyes.

Seeing Madame Jiang was agitated, Madame Ye, who had already been pointed out by her mother-in-law, suddenly opened her mouth. "From now on, we will have to keep a lower profile in our Xu Family."

When Madame Ye said this, Madame Jiang forgot about the situation and anxiously asked: "Why?" After saying this, the Madame Jiang may still be a little unreconciled. After thinking for a moment, she continued: "Don't you think that the days of our Xu Family should be more peaceful in the future? Why keep a low profile? In these ten years, are our Xu Family not low profile enough? "

Madame Jiang felt that she had had enough of the past. After Xu Family's son-in-law became the emperor, her husband's sister became the empress, and their Xu Family became the descendant. They should have gotten more lively, but why should they keep a low profile?

Madame Jiang didn't feel good, so when she spoke to Madame Ye a moment ago, her tone was not very good.

Hearing Madame Jiang's words, the juniors all subconsciously looked towards Old Madame Xu. Who knew that Old Madame Xu seemed to not have seen anything, her eyes were slightly closed, no one knew what she was thinking about.

Madame Ye was not angry because of Madame Jiang's attitude just now, she had already known about this sister-in-law's character. Thus, after Madame Jiang's voice fell, she only looked at her sister and explained: "Because the moment our Xu Family become a clan, there will be more people eyeing our Xu Family. In the past, something rather ordinary might have become an excuse for others to attack our Xu Family." After saying that, the Madame Ye paused for a while before continuing, "Sister-in-law, don't forget, one of our great Xu Family's aunts is still by that person's side to this day. He is not that old, and there are many officials who wish to send their daughters to the palace, so that they can give birth to princes, and replace us as the Xu Family's aunt! "

When Madame Ye said these words, Madame Jiang's originally fiery heart instantly calmed down like a bucket of cold water being poured over it.

That's right, she forgot. The most respected woman in the imperial harem wasn't the empress, but the empress!

Only when that sister-in-law of hers becomes the empress dowager and their nephew takes the throne would their Xu Family truly be safe.

Seeing that Madame Jiang did not say anything, Madame Ye heaved a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that this sister-in-law of hers would not be able to see the situation clearly.

Madame Jiang's husband, Xu Xiaozhi, had some brains, after hearing his wife's words, and seeing that her mother did not say anything, she knew that her mother allowed him to say these words.

Thinking about his wife's personality, Xu Xiaozhi thought for a while, then looked at her, along with his big brother, sister-in-law, and Third Brother and Sister-in-Law: "Don't worry, I'll keep my eyes on her."

Hearing Xu Xiaozhi's words, Madame Jiang felt that something was amiss and wanted to speak, but who knew that Xu Yanlang who was seated at the other table would suddenly speak: "Since uncle wants to ascend to the throne, then wouldn't Brother Yanhao's marriage with me be delayed for a while?" After saying this, Xu Yanlang then looked at Madame Jiang and said: "Mother, I'm afraid this matter will have to trouble you again."

Hearing her eldest son's words, Madame Jiang immediately threw aside what Xu Xiaozhi had just said and looked up at her mother-in-law with anticipation.

As for the marriage of his son, it all depended on his mother-in-law's decision!

When Old Madame Xu heard Xu Yanlang, she opened her eyes. She knew that this was her grandson finding work for his mother, so she opened her mouth to ask him with a look of anticipation: "Earlier, how were you able to discuss it with the relatives of the two families, but now, what should we do? It's just that when the time comes, the number of people who come to congratulate you will definitely increase. However, if you can accept someone's things or everyone's things, then it's better that you guys have a better understanding. "

The moment Old Madame Xu's voice fell, in the entire dining hall, other than the ignorant Yuanxi, everyone else from the Xu Family replied respectfully with "Yes".

Xu Family were indeed different, but precisely because of this difference, they should be more careful in the future.
