That’s right!

The Lin family has already sided with King Yan Xu Chuxiu, who will be the first to leave and enter the battle for the right to inherit the throne!

The relationship between Xu Chuxiu and Prince An was very bad. When Xu Chuxiu was young, Xu Qingyao once taught him elementary school, but Xu Chuxiu was too stupid and did not please Xu Qingyao, so he was often punished. The two also forged a grudge.

In this way, the Lin family supported Xu Chuxiu. They first made Prince An's house unhappy and deliberately did it to Xu Chuxiu.

Before Xu Qianan's rise, the most competitive ones were Yan King Xu Chuxiu and Jin King Xu Jianyi.

Xu Chuxiu's performance was quite satisfactory, with no outstanding political achievements, and he looked very mediocre. Xu Jianyi, although he had never been involved in political affairs, was quite famous among the people. He was well-read in poetry and books, and he was a well-known talent.

Comparing the two, Xu Jianyi is obviously better.

These are just appearances. Xu Yan has read the original work and knows more. Xu Chuxiu is not as simple as he seems on the surface. He is a complete old concealment, pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. Xu Jianyi is not only a talented man, but also a killer.

A decisive and ruthless person.

None of the three princes is simple.

Because of Xu Yan's appearance, everything was disrupted, and the Lin family chose Xu Chuxiu in advance.

Xu Yan couldn't help but wonder, without the help of the Lin family, could the protagonist still win the title of prince?

"If nothing else happens, in a few days, Xu Chuxiu will ask the emperor to grant a marriage to the Lin family." Xu Qingyao said angrily, "My good second brother, I have to mess with Dayu!"

The battle to seize the direct descendants is a meaningless internal conflict.

The author of the original book is also a talented person. In order to increase the enjoyment of the book, he had to make the always smart Emperor Shunxing confused in the position of crown prince. It was precisely because of Emperor Shunxing's confusing operation that the Hunu in the north had an opportunity to take advantage of him.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, go south to attack Yu.

In the end, under the leadership of the protagonist, although Dayu won the war, tens of thousands of people suffered humiliation and became the dead souls of Hu Nu.

In Xu Yan's opinion, any of Emperor Shunxing's sons would be fine on his own, but because of the heir apparent, the siblings turned against each other and killed each other.

Xu Yan suddenly seemed to understand why in the original book, Xu Qingyao rebelled despite knowing he would fail.

After some criticism, Xu Qingyao also woke up, looked at Xu Yan, waved his hand, and started to chase people away: "Go back, we will go to court tomorrow morning. If you are interested, you can go and have a look!"

Xu Yan also wanted to ask Xu Qingyao if he wanted to meet Lin Youqing, but after seeing Xu Qingyao's lonely expression, he held back.

Xu Qingyao did not attend the dinner held by Princess An for Xu Yan, and Xu Qingyao's sons did not show up either. Only three people ate.

The father-in-law doesn’t want to see his daughter-in-law, isn’t this a sign of disapproval of her?

Princess An comforted Lin Youqing a few words, saying that maybe Xu Qingyao was in trouble and couldn't attend the dinner.

Lin Youqing actually didn't take it seriously. She had learned from Xu Yan before that Xu Qingyao didn't like Xu Yan, so it was normal for him to dislike her as his daughter-in-law.

After the dinner, Xu Yan and Lin Youqing left.

"Are you okay?"

In the carriage, Xu Yan asked. After all, this girl likes to hide things in her heart, and she is worried that she will not be able to think about it.

Lin Youqing smiled, shook her head, and replied: "I'm fine. I just feel sorry for my husband!"

"..."

Xu Yan didn't understand. What could he feel sorry for? Do you feel sorry that he had no father's love since he was a child?

"Let me ask you a question, if one day, the Lin family and I fight, who will you support?"

After all, Lin Youqing is also Xu Yan's wife, and Xu Yan still wants to ask her about her attitude towards the two families.

This question is actually the same as that difficult problem in the world that stumps countless men: "If your wife or your mother falls into the water, who do you save first?" It's hard to make a decision.

Lin Youqing lowered her head and said nothing.

Xu Yan didn't urge him, and quietly waited for Lin Youqing to reply.

After a long time, Lin Youqing slowly raised her head, looked at Xu Yan with a slight struggle, and said, "Husband, can you tell me whether my mother really died of illness?"

Xu Yan was speechless and looked at Lin Youqing with a serious expression in front of him in surprise.

This was the first time Lin Youqing dared to look at Xu Yan like this without any intention of backing down.

From Xu Yan's eyes, Lin Youqing already got the answer.

"I should have thought of it earlier..."

As she talked, Lin Youqing started sobbing, and her big tears kept falling.

Lin Youqing was not stupid. Although her mother was usually weak, she never had any serious health problems. How could she die suddenly? The timing was such a coincidence, it happened to be a few days after Lin Mofu revised the marriage contract.

Reminiscent of the fact that she had become a legitimate daughter inexplicably, and was given special care by her always indifferent legitimate mother.

She was already suspicious, but Xu Yan's unreasonable question yesterday made Lin Youqing even more convinced that her mother's death was no accident.

Xu Yan actually hates people crying in front of him, especially women. I really want to say: If you cry again, I will beat you!

But facing Lin Youqing in front of him, Xu Yan couldn't say anything.

He was a little hesitant to comfort Lin Youqing, but as a single man who has been single for ten thousand years, how could he do this!

Stretching out his hand, he hugged Lin Youqing into his arms.

It is said that when a woman is sad, she needs a shoulder to lean on. Xu Yan didn't know if this would be useful, so he wanted to give it a try.

He patted Lin Youqing gently and didn't intend to speak. Crying and venting would probably make her feel better.

Lin Youqing hugged Xu Yan. Tears and snot flowed all over Xu Yan. Xu Yan closed his eyes and pretended not to see it.

At this time, Lin Youqing was just a poor little girl who lost her mother and was hurt by the person she was closest to.

"Your Highness, what happened to the princess?"

Muxue outside the car finally couldn't hold back and asked.

From yesterday to now, in less than a day, His Highness has made the princess cry two or three times. Even if he is unhappy, he cannot do this!

Mu Xue planned to persuade Xu Yan that there should be harmony between husband and wife, and if you have anything to say, just talk it over.

"Mind your own business, or I'll beat you up!"

"..."

Muxue shut up and didn't dare to ask anymore. She murmured in her heart: "No wonder men change after they get married. Your Highness has become grumpy just after getting married. It's true!"

After crying for a while, Lin Youqing stopped her tears and looked at Xu Yan with watery eyes.

"Husband, can I go out tomorrow?"

There was begging in her tone, probably because she wanted to worship her mother.

Xu Yan did not refuse. It would be a bit unkind to agree to even this request.

After returning to the house, Lin Youqing went back to her room alone.

Xu Yan did not forget the agreement he made with Xu Qian'an and called for Chen Wu, the steward of the house.

"Go to Muxue tomorrow to get 10,000 taels of silver and send it to King Wu's Mansion to give it to King Wu. Just say that this is the capital of the business. If it is not enough, let him come and collect it again."

Over the years, Xu Yan has had little expenditure and has saved a lot of money. Ten thousand taels is not a small amount, and it should be enough for doing business in a place like Shangjing City, where land is of high value.

Chen Wu is not only the steward of the house, but also the shopkeeper of Zui Qingfeng. He is skilled in business, and Xu Yan allows him to do things with confidence.

Chen Wu agreed, but did not retreat. Then he looked embarrassed, as if he had something to say.

Xu Yan asked in confusion: "What's your expression? If you fart quickly, don't pretend to be constipated!"

Chen Wu hesitated for a long time and finally said: "Your Highness, it seems that someone has come to our restaurant to cause trouble recently."

"If someone makes trouble, why don't you just report the name of the county prince's palace? The wealthy families in the capital are all shameless, and they will not fail to give face to the county prince's palace."

"I told you, but that person doesn't seem to be a person from Beijing, he looks like a knight-errant. Every time he comes here, he just drinks, and he also spreads the word that the food in our restaurant is very unpalatable and not worthy of good wine. It ruins the reputation of our restaurant."<

/p>

Chen Wu also tried to report to the officials or ask his clerk to drive him away, but the guy's martial arts level was not low and he ran away easily. There was nothing that could be done about him. Once the officials left, they would come back again, just like a dog-skin plaster.

"Ranger?"

Warriors love wine, and the strong wine that makes them drunk is even more popular among those who practice martial arts.

Since Xu Yan had no plans to open a branch, Zui Qingfeng's wine was often in short supply. Coupled with word-of-mouth among warriors, the wine became more and more mysterious as it spread, and gradually became a symbol of warrior status.

Xu Yan is familiar with Zui Qingfeng, which he runs. In the final analysis, it is just a place that sells wine. The food that goes with the wine is very ordinary and has no special features.

What do you think it is? He patted Chen Wu and said seriously: "Why do you care so much? We are a restaurant, not a vegetable restaurant. He can say whatever he likes, as long as it does not affect your normal business."

, don’t pay attention to him. Of course, if he really doesn’t care about life and death, you can find the guards in the palace and beat him up first, and then send him to the government.”

The guards at the Prince's Mansion are pretty good, most of them are from the third and fourth realms, and the most powerful ones are the two fifth realm warriors.

Regardless of their low level, there are very few warriors who can reach the fifth level. It is considered good to have two county kings.

In Prince An's Mansion, except for Wang Hu, who doesn't know his realm, the highest one is only in the sixth realm.
