Although the weather in winter is sunny, it is still bitingly cold.Li Yushi put on his cloak and walked out of the palace side by side with Xiao Huai. He glanced at Xiao Huai who was only wearing a long robe with wide sleeves, and walked leisurely, thinking that being young is good!

"Mr. Dingguo, I have something that I don't understand." Li Yushi thought over and over again, but he still asked, he was really curious.

"Li Yushi, please tell me." Xiao Huai said.

"Mrs. Hou, oh, it's the Duke's wife now." Li Yushi said: "The Duke's wife told you that the eldest prince is not..."

Needless to say, everyone knows what it means.But Xiao Huai didn't understand, what does this matter have to do with the Duke's wife?

He asked: "Why did Li Yushi say that? What does Mrs. Xiao have to do with this matter?"

Li Yushi: "..."

Did your husband and wife not communicate before doing things?

"Didn't Duke Ding know that all the evidence that the officials handed over to the emperor today came from the Duke's wife?" Li Yushi said.

Xiao Huai was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "I haven't returned home yet, Madam didn't mention this matter to me."

Li Yushi had a clear expression on his face, and this reason can also be explained in the past.But he didn't even know about Concubine Min's affair with others before, so how could he be sure that the eldest prince is not the heir of the emperor?

Asked if he didn't understand, Li Yushi asked again: "How did Duke Ding know the identity of the eldest prince? He also remembered the method of blood test."

Xiao Huai smiled, "I bet."

Li Yushi: "..."

If you don't say it, don't say it, why are you fooling people!

When the two of them reached the gate of the palace while talking, Li Yushi's long follower trotted over immediately and gave him the stove.Here, Xiao Yuchen and Xiao Yuming also ran over, they had been waiting at the gate of the palace.

"Why didn't you go home?" Xiao Huai asked them.

When they were in the northwest, the two were looking forward to returning to Beijing every day to see their mother and sister.

"The son is worried about the father." Xiao Yuchen said, and Xiao Yuming nodded beside him.

Feeling warm in Xiao Huai's heart, he raised his hand and patted the shoulders of the two, "Let's go."

At this moment, Steward Zhao ran over, and saluted Xiao Huai with tears in his eyes, "I see Lord Hou, no, Lord Duke."

Xiao Huai stretched out his hand to support him, "Get up."

Butler Zhao got up and said again: "Madam ordered the villain to take the Duke and the two young masters back to the manor."

Xiao Huai narrowed his eyes and said, "Then let's go."

Butler Zhao responded, and Xiao Yuming suddenly rushed to his side and asked, "Butler Zhao, how are my mother and Yuzhu?"

Butler Zhao said with a smile: "Okay, Madam and Miss have been thinking about the Duke and the two young masters."

"I brought many good things to Yuzhu and mother." Xiao Yuming said again.

"Madam and Miss will definitely like it." Butler Zhao echoed with a smile.

After speaking, he got into the carriage, and then headed for Yongning Hou Mansion.After a while, they arrived at the gate of the mansion. The three got out of the car, and saw the middle door was wide open, and Xiao Yuzhu and Tang Shuyi were standing at the door.

Seeing the two of them walking over quickly, there was excitement on their faces.Xiao Huai clenched his hands into fists, he didn't know what he would do if Tang Shuyi and Xiao Yuzhu rushed towards him.

And at this moment, Tang Shuyi walked over first, and his hand was held even tighter.But he saw her walking over and standing in front of Xiao Yuchen and Xiao Yuming beyond him, her eyes were loving and excited.

Xiao Yuchen and Xiao Yuming raised their robes and knelt in front of her, saying in unison, "The son has seen his mother."

Then the two kowtowed three times firmly.With tears in her eyes, Tang Shuyi helped the two of them up, looked left and right, saw that both of them were fine, and looked stronger than before, so she smiled and said, "My son has grown up."

Both Xiao Yuchen and Xiao Yuming smiled embarrassedly. Tang Shuyi wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, then turned sideways to salute Xiao Huai, "Master."

Xiao Huai hurriedly offered help, saying: "Madam has worked hard these years."

At this moment, the messengers from the palace arrived, led by an old acquaintance Jiao Kangsheng.Saluted to Xiao Huai and Tang Shuyi, "Master Ding, Mrs. Duke, accept the order."

The family knelt down together, and then Jiao Kangsheng read the emperor's will to make Xiao Huai the Duke of Ding, as well as a series of rewards.After reading, he said with a smile: "The emperor said that he will personally inscribe the plaque of Dingguo Duke's Mansion. The plaque is estimated to take a few days to be made."

"No rush." ​​Xiao Huai said.

Jiao Kangsheng smiled again and said, "The slave will go back and return."

After speaking, he left with a group of court ladies and eunuchs, leaving a land of rewards.These are all Xiao Huai's. Tang Shuyi thinks that she has a strong sense of boundaries. Before Xiao Huai was not around, she could decide how to deal with it on her own. Now that the deity is here, she can't do it for her.

And Xiao Huai felt that Tang Shuyi should put away these things as they should be. She is the hostess, so if she doesn't accept it, who will accept it?But seeing that she was standing there with no intention of accepting it, he coughed and said, "Madam please put these things back."

This meant to return these belongings to the public. Since he said so, Tang Shuyi would not refuse, so he ordered Steward Zhao and Cuiyun Cuizhu to sort out these things, and then put them into storage.

In fact, it wasn't that she thought too much before, because many male owners of big families have their own private treasury.Just like before, Old Hou Ye and Xiao Huai both had their own accounts.

Steward Zhao brought green bamboos and green clouds to work, and Tang Shuyi and Xiao Huai brought their three children into the mansion.Xiao Yuzhu was always by Xiao Huai's side. Although she didn't speak, she looked at him from time to time, and Xiao Huai couldn't help laughing.

"What do you do at home on weekdays?" Xiao Huai asked with a smile.

Now Xiao Yuzhu's chatterbox was opened, and she chattered about the trivial things in daily life.Her voice was crisp and clear, and she spoke with emotion. Xiao Huai listened with a smile on his face.

In the main hall, the family sat and talked together.After Xiao Yuzhu finished talking about her daily life, she began to ask Xiao Huai questions, most of which were about daily life in the army, and Xiao Huai patiently explained to him.

Here, Tang Shuyi and Xiao Yuchen and Xiao Yuming talked about what happened during the time they were apart.Of course, it's all approximate, and there's no way to clarify the details for a while.

After chatting for a while, Tang Shuyi saw that it was almost time for dinner, so she asked the three men who had returned from the journey to wash up and have dinner together.

Both Xiao Yuchen and Xiao Yuming got up and went back to their yard, leaving Xiao Huai behind.Where does he go to wash up is a problem, Xiao Huai did not have his own yard before, he used to either stay in the study, or stay in Tang Shuyi's Shi'an Garden.

"I'm going to the study, I need to read some official documents." Xiao Huai said to Tang Shuyi.

Tang Shuyi breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't show it on her face. She smiled and said, "Then I'll let someone prepare the bath soup in the study."

"Okay." Xiao Huai nodded to Tang Shuyi, and then said to the boy waiting outside: "Follow me to the study."

The servant hurriedly responded, and led the way to the study.Tang Shuyi looked at Xiao Huaiyuan's back, and frowned. She always felt that many things were wrong, especially wrong.
