Outsiders knew only a little about what happened in the Eastern Palace that day. They only knew that the concubine of the King Qin had a miscarriage when she went to the Eastern Palace to visit the Crown Princess.

At the beginning, many people really thought that the Crown Princess was jealous and anxious that she had not yet conceived a child, so she did something to the Prince's concubine on impulse, causing her to accidentally have a miscarriage.

But the subsequent developments silently refuted their speculations and suspicions.

Because he was under house arrest for serving the king!

What does this prove? It proves that the fault lies with the Prince Qin's Palace. The one who is in the wrong is the Eastern Palace!

We are all old foxes. Even if some things have not been spread out and are concealed very well, it does not prevent everyone from finding out the truth!

Pei Shaorong also sent a letter back to Pei Mansion and told Master Pei about the matter.

So when Lord Pei listened to Aunt Zhao's pillow talk and came to find Tutor Pei to ask for help, he slapped Tutor Pei in the face and ordered his men to kick him out!

Within a few days, news came from the Qinwang Palace that Concubine Pei had contracted a serious illness after her miscarriage, and she died without being saved!

Pei Shaorong was not surprised at all when she heard the news in the East Palace. It was something she had expected.

As for the other Sun Xuehe, she is not dead yet, but she should be dead soon. I heard that the new mistress of the Bao family has not been in good health recently. In order to recuperate, she has moved to a farm outside the city. I believe that it will not be long before the news of her death comes out.

Xu Muhua would not worry about the affairs of these two people at all, she was busy!

The Chengguo Mansion has already consulted with the Geng family. Both the Geng family and Geng Zhiqiu agree with the Chengguo Mansion's approach and want Xu Rui and Geng Zhiqiu to get married as soon as possible!

Her elder brother is getting married, so as his younger sister, shouldn’t she make preparations?

The heat of the incident in the Eastern Palace was soon replaced by the hasty marriage of the Duke of Chengguo's Mansion. Looking at the intensive preparations, it was probably because the old lady of the Duke of Chengguo's Mansion was really dying, so she was in a hurry to get married.

Otherwise, if the old lady really couldn't hold on, Xu Rui, as the eldest grandson, would have to observe mourning. By the time she finished mourning, the young lady of the Geng family would have become an old maid!

The wedding date of Xu Rui and Geng Zhiqiu was set very quickly, and the time was indeed very tight, just one month later. After all, it would take quite some time for them father and son to return to Beijing.

Fortunately, the border is now stable, there is no war, and the relationship with the surrounding countries is peaceful. Otherwise, as a general, it is impossible for him to stay in the capital for such a long time.

Everyone in Duke Chengguo's mansion was extremely busy about this, and Xu's mother was so busy that she lost a lot of weight!

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of Xu Rui's wedding, and Xu Muhua also returned to Duke Cheng's Mansion.

Her elder brother is getting married, so she will come back no matter what.

Looking at Xu Rui in wedding clothes, not to mention Xu's mother, even General Xu couldn't help but shed tears, feeling filled with emotion.

"From today on, your life will enter another more important stage. You must shoulder the responsibility of protecting this family!"

Xu Rui smiled slightly, "Dad, Mom, I will be the one protecting this family from now on!"

My parents are not young anymore, it’s time for them to enjoy their lives.

Xu Muhua nodded secretly at the side. Yes, let Dad and Mom enjoy their lives in the future! All of their family will be well!

Many guests came to Duke Chengguo's Mansion, and it was unprecedentedly lively. It reached a climax after Xu Rui brought back the bride.

The newlyweds got married in the presence of everyone, and were escorted to the bridal chamber, which was met with laughter and cheers.

Apart from the newlyweds, the most eye-catching ones are Xu Muhua and Zhao Chengye.

Xu Muhua is the prince's concubine, but everyone knows that the prince and the princess have a very good relationship. Everyone privately speculates whether Xu Muhua, the concubine, is being treated coldly in the East Palace.

Today, I understood it all. The prince personally accompanied the concubine's brother back to get married. Doesn't this mean anything? Even if the prince accompanied the concubine back for the sake of the Duke of Cheng's Mansion, it was enough!

After all, judging from today's wedding, the Duke of Cheng's mansion will still be in great favor for a while. The emperor even specially asked the chief steward around him to bring a lot of rewards to congratulate him.

"Prince, if you have nothing else to do, just go and take care of your own business!" Xu Muhua said as he stood beside Zhao Chengye.

Zhao Chengye paused, then glanced at her sideways, "Why, do you think I'm an eyesore now?"

"You said that yourself, I didn't say that! I was trying to sympathize with the Crown Prince, but he turned the tables on me. When I get back to the East Palace, I'll have to talk to Arong and ask her whose fault it is!"

Zhao Chengye looked at her with disdain: "How old are you? Are you still complaining like a child?"

Xu Muhua looked at him proudly, "It doesn't matter how old you are when you file a complaint, as long as it's useful!"

These words choked Zhao Chengye.

You know what, her complaints really worked! Ah Rong must have felt sorry for her again, and turned around to talk to him, asking him not to bother with her and so on.

Tired of heart!

"Are you sure you don't need me to stay?" Zhao Chengye asked, looking at the guests in the yard.

"No, just do your thing. I can handle things here by myself. Besides, don't you have some people hiding in the dark? If I can't handle it, I'll call them out."

"I won't be going back to the East Palace tonight. You should go back early to do your thing. I think Arong seems to be a little bit unwell these past two days. She doesn't seem to have a good appetite. She doesn't want to see the doctor either. You should go back early to have dinner with her!"

As soon as she said that, Zhao Chengye took it to heart, "Okay, I understand."

Since she insisted that he didn't need to stay, Zhao Chengye didn't force him. He quickly said goodbye to General Xu and left with his personal guards.

The prince has left, but this does not affect the liveliness of Duke Chengguo's Mansion.

It was not until the evening when it got dark that the number of guests gradually decreased, but there were still quite a few, and the entire Chengguo Mansion was bustling with noise.

Compared to the front yard, the backyard is naturally quieter, but Xu Rui's yard is more lively, after all, it is the location of the new house. Many people still want to make trouble in the new house!

In the small courtyard separated from the new house by a wall, a figure was sneaking around, taking advantage of the relaxed guards at the Chengguo Mansion, preparing to sneak in. On the other side, a man seemed to be drunk, staggering, and walking towards this side, mumbling something.

Just as the two were about to collide, a person suddenly jumped down from the wall. The sneaky figure was hit on the head with a knife before he could react, and he fainted immediately!

The man who jumped down carried him onto his shoulders, leaped onto the high wall, and quickly disappeared behind the wall.

The drunk man staggered over and paused for some reason, as if he was hesitating. He walked back and forth for a long time, mumbling something in his mouth. Finally, he seemed to hear the sound of someone talking, turned around, and walked away quickly!

He doesn't look like a drunk person at all!
