Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 798: Zhu Laosi Seeking Answers
Xu Miaoyun waved her hand: "I'm definitely going!"

"Since you've said that once you meet Big Brother, he'll give you an explanation, then given your temper, you definitely won't be able to hold it back."

"In that case, you naturally have to go there."

"I just reminded you not to have any conflicts with Uncle Hu and to be respectful to him."

"Come to think of it, among my father's group of people, the one who is still alive today is probably the most well-off one, right?"

"Even in the foreseeable future, Uncle Hu will be much more stable than all the other uncles."

"So, there is really no need for our family to have a conflict with Uncle Hu. Who knows when Uncle Hu might be our family's life-saving retreat?"

After Xu Miaoyun said this, Zhu Di remained silent for a long time.

Even the expression he showed when he looked at Xu Miaoyun seemed a little strange.

Because what Xu Miaoyun meant was actually hinting that their family might not have a good ending in the future, right?
But he just couldn't understand why he ended up like that since he didn't fight for the throne.
Could it be possible that I was going to rebel against my big brother?
Otherwise, why do we say that husband and wife are connected by heart?

Just by looking at Zhu Di's expression, Xu Miaoyun knew what he was thinking. She walked up to him, took his hand and comforted him softly.

"Fourth brother, there is an old saying that goes 'People are there, and so are people.'"

"If we make a big mistake or cause a big mess, and it happens to our father, we will be scolded and beaten!"

"But if my eldest brother takes the throne, I might be demoted or even stripped of my title, because if I don't do this, my eldest brother won't be able to explain to others."

"But if our family gets into trouble when Xiong Ying is in power, we will have to be prepared to have our property confiscated and our clan exterminated."

"After all, even though people call us fourth uncle and fourth sister-in-law, how much affection do we really have?"

"So, please don't make a scene with Uncle Hu."

"We have this foundation of connections, and we never know when it will come in handy in the future."

"Even if it's not used, we won't suffer any loss, right?"

"Uncle Hu is a real elder, so we should show him some respect, right?"

After Xu Miaoyun's explanation, Zhu Di felt much more relieved.

For him, he always felt disgusted with the civil officials in the court.

He always felt that these civil officials who could neither lead an army nor fight in battles were useless.

Only the men in the army are the real pillars of the country.

Therefore, it is inevitable to have some opinions about Hu Weiyong.

But even so, he had to admit that Master Hu was awesome.

Among all the "surviving" court officials now, the most powerful one is naturally not Master Hu. There are so many nobles and even dukes.

But if we talk about the person who is most comfortable and at ease in life, it is definitely Master Hu.

Who doesn't know that Mr. Hu is now free from worries and is also living a happy life?

Moreover, judging from the speculations just now, Mr. Hu has done a huge favor to the Zhu family.

"Well, Miaoyun, don't worry. Although I am a little reckless, I am not stupid."

"I may not be able to flatter Uncle Hu for the time being, but I can still avoid offending him."

Xu Miaoyun felt relieved after hearing what Zhu Di said, but she then started thinking about another problem.

"Hey, Fourth Brother, tell me, Uncle Hu gave such a huge benefit to Father and his family, how can Father repay this favor?"

When Zhu Di heard this, he looked at Xu Miaoyun with a playful look.

"You haven't dealt with the emperor enough!"

"You're actually still thinking about how the emperor will repay the favor?" "Believe it or not, if it's really like what we think, this method of prolonging life was leaked from Uncle Hu, then Uncle Hu must have been blocked by my father at this moment."

"Nowadays, our Zhu family can only pass on the inheritance to the eldest son. My father will definitely not let any of Uncle Hu's inheritance be passed on to others. He will even restrict their own learning!"

Xu Miaoyun was dumbfounded when she heard this.

"No way?"

"So domineering?"

"Your family learned this from Uncle Hu!"

"Why are you not only ungrateful but also restricting others?"

Zhu Di smiled bitterly: "What else?"

"Don't you know my father's temper? People outside say he is violent and tyrannical."

"Although it's a bit exaggerated, isn't there some truth in it?"

"And think about it, if my own son can't even get something good now, even if it doesn't come from my family, and my father were to watch someone else get it, do you think he would be willing?"

"So, I'm sure Uncle Hu must have been silenced!"

"Maybe there will be some compensation, but I can't guess what it is!"

Xu Miaoyun was stunned at first when she heard this, and then looked up at Zhu Di with a little horror.

"Maybe I know!"

"you know?"

"How did you know?"

Zhu Di was dumbfounded!

How do you know such a secret thing?
Xu Miaoyun glanced at Zhu Di with an incomprehensible look on her face, and said softly, "If it weren't for you, Fourth Brother, who deduced from this series of clues that this longevity method came from the Hu family, I might not have guessed it."

"But after knowing the result, it becomes much easier to work backwards."

"As for what the compensation is, I can't guess the rest, but I know that at least one of the items is 20,000 acres of land outside Yingtian City."

"This matter has been widely circulated in the past few days, but you, Fourth Brother, have never paid attention to these things."

"At that time, I was still wondering what kind of merits the Hu family had made to be able to obtain so many imperial estates from my father at one time."

"Now it seems that this is a compensation!"

Zhu Di nodded silently after hearing this.

But he didn't say much. What good would it matter if these things were guessed?

It has nothing to do with him.

He is only the fourth child in the Zhu family. Both his father and his eldest brother rank ahead of him, so it is not his turn to be the head of the family.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, hugged his wife, and then said in a deep voice: "Miaoyun, wait for a moment at home."

"I'll go to Hujiazhuang to see my elder brother and come back!"

"Don't worry, I just want an answer. I won't cause trouble with my uncle and big brother!"

"Once I have the answer, I will give up. We can just live a peaceful life behind closed doors."

Xu Miaoyun stared blankly at the man in front of her who was a head taller than her, and nodded slightly.

"Go ahead! Fourth brother!"

"When you come back, we will live peacefully as a family!" (End of this chapter)
