Daughter's Poisoned Wife

Chapter 396: Leaving Beijing Sadly (1)
Cheng was taken aback, she had been married to Xiao Yu for six years, and she had never seen Xiao Yu mention Xiao Xi with such a tone and look.She clearly saw the vigilance and guard in her husband's eyes.

"Master, is there something wrong with the second brother?" Cheng asked in a low voice.

Xiao Yu thought for a while, pointed to the chair and said, "Sit down, and I'll talk to you slowly."

Cheng sat down as he said, and Xiao Nuo said, "If my position as the eldest son is abolished, the second younger brother will have a great chance to become the eldest son. Do you think the second younger brother can't think of this?"

Cheng was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly said: "No way, the second brother has always been very..."

"It's pretty useless. If he doesn't become the prince, with the ability of the second brother, he will be an ordinary fifth-rank official in the future, but if he becomes the prince, he will become a prince of the first rank. Everyone knows how to choose." Xiao Said it in a sneer.

Cheng said hurriedly: "There is also the third younger brother. With the love my father loves the third younger brother now, how could the second younger brother fall into the eyes of my father?"

Xiao Nuo shook his head and said: "No, my second brother and I are born of my mother, she is the first wife of the father. If my position as the eldest son is abolished, the father is just to block the mouths of the world and not let me go. He himself has a reputation for liking the new and disliking the old, and if he doesn't let that woman bear the reputation of being a mean stepson, he can't let Xiao Ze be the eldest son, and give the position of the eldest son to the second younger brother. He spoils his concubine and destroys his wife!"

Xiao Yu's hatred for Princess Ning has completely distorted his thinking. It is obvious that Princess Ning is a marriage gift from the emperor. Thinking in this way, Xiao Yu could feel more relaxed in his heart.

Du Dahai's letter of resignation was quickly approved. The current emperor took back his military power, but did not take back Jianweibo's title.However, the title of Jianweibo is not hereditary. Once Du Dahai passes away, the court will take back the title. Du Peng, the only son of Du Dahai, is not eligible to inherit the title, nor even eligible to be granted a seal.If Du Peng wanted to become an official, he had only two options: donating an official or taking the imperial examination.

After getting approval, Du Dahai dismissed most of the servants in his family, and only took six personal soldiers who had been with him and Sanfang's loyal servants, and set off to leave Beijing with three children.When he was leaving Beijing, Du Dahai turned his head frequently, and until he left the capital, Du Dahai didn't see any relatives and old friends who came to see him off, let alone Du Heng, the eldest daughter that Du Dahai wanted to see most.

After leaving the city, Du Dahai turned his head and took a deep look at the tall city wall of the capital, and heaved a long sigh.Let's leave now, there is no time to see each other again, Du Dahai said silently in his heart, suppressed the sorrow in his heart, turned his horse's head and ran towards the northeast.Du Dahai's hometown is a small village two hundred miles northeast of the capital.

As soon as a group of carriages and horses passed Qilipo, Du Dahai saw a few horses tied to the horse posts outside the Zheliu Pavilion, and there were people in the pavilion flickering.Du Dahai laughed at himself, laughing that he was still hoping that the people in Zheliu Pavilion would come to see him off.How is this possible? With the emperor's will, he, Du Dahai, has already become an unlucky person whom everyone shuns and fears. Who will come to see him off.

"General, it's Grandpa Wu and Uncle Wu." A soldier with excellent eyesight suddenly shouted excitedly.

Du Dahai was startled, and then exclaimed joyfully: "Is it really the elder uncle?" After saying that, he set up the awning with his hands and narrowed his eyes to look carefully.

The other soldiers also opened their eyes wide and looked carefully, and then they all shouted: "General, you are really an uncle!"

Du Dahai was so excited that he stepped off the steed and galloped away, quickly leaving the carriage in which Du Li and her three siblings were riding far behind.

Du Dahai came to the Folding Willow Pavilion, Xiao Ze greeted him from the pavilion, Du Dahai reined in the reins, got off the horse, and shouted excitedly: "My son-in-law, you actually came to see me off." As he said that, he folded his eyes Liu Tingzhong seemed to be looking for someone.

Of course Xiao Ze knew that Du Dahai was looking for Du Heng, he said in a deep voice, "Ah Heng has been in a coma since that day."

Du Dahai was shocked, grabbed Xiao Ze's hand and shouted: "How could this happen? Isn't the Queen Mother Miao a miracle doctor? Ruo'er just lost blood, so why can't she wake up?"

Xiao Ze gently pushed Du Dahai's hand away, and said solemnly: "Grandmother said Ah Heng is fine, but she just doesn't want to wake up."

"Ruo'er doesn't want to wake up, what does that mean?" Du Dahai asked with a frown.

Xiao Ze wanted to retort, but when he saw Du Dahai's gray hair, old face and ashen complexion, he couldn't bear to provoke Du Dahai any more, so he could only say calmly: "Sleep like this, maybe it will make Ah Heng feel ashamed. Forget all the pain you have suffered in the past."

Du Dahai was silent, and after a while he said in a shy voice, "It's fine to forget."

"Today you are returning to your hometown, I'm afraid... We have prepared a glass of thin wine to see you off, please enter the pavilion." Xiao Ze stood sideways and said to Du Dahai.

Du Dahai nodded, and walked into Zheliu Pavilion with heavy steps.The old man was sitting on the pavilion, when he saw Du Haihai coming in, he greeted him in a deep voice: "Here we are..."

Du Dahai bowed and said, "Thank you, old man."

The old man waved his hand and said, "You don't need to thank you. You are confused about family affairs, but you are good at war. It's a pity that you can have a better development. Today, the old man prepared the farewell wine for the soldiers in the army. There is no other intention for the robe to see you off."

Du Dahai lowered his head in shame, and said in a low voice: "Du Dahai made mistakes on his own and others, and he has to blame himself for everything."

Old Mr. Wu sighed: "Du Dahai, it's really a pity for you. If you were willing to listen to Lao Cheng's persuasion, why did you come to this? Now go back to your hometown and live the rest of your life in peace. If you really can't go on, just Send the letter to the Duke's mansion, since the old man recognizes your daughter as his granddaughter, he will naturally take care of you."

Du Dahai shook his head, and said to Xiao Ze: "Son-in-law, I have a few words to say to my old man alone." Xiao Ze nodded, turned around and walked out of Zheliu Pavilion, and walked a hundred steps before stopping.Du Dahai looked at his son-in-law Beiying and nodded slightly, then turned to face the old man.

"You can say whatever you want." The old man said solemnly.

Du Dahai bowed to the old man, and said sadly: "Thank you, old man, for your kindness, but Du Dahai will not bother you about himself and those three children. Du has already made up his mind. After making arrangements for the three children, I will find an untouched place to live my remaining life quietly. Old Lord, please take care of Ruoer after Du Dahai leaves. If she is wronged in the future, she will return You must do justice to her."
