Quick Wear: This is my wife

Chapter 447 Prince VS Little Brother 47

As for what exactly the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion was up to this time, he could guess a thing or two without even thinking about it. In his eyes, they were just a family of profit-seeking villains. Getting entangled with them too much would only add to his troubles.

The wife of the Marquis of Yong'an watched Xiao Yubai leave without looking back. She was so angry that her whole body was shaking, her chest was heaving violently, and her face was as dark as the sky before a storm.

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, she was still filled with resentment and had nowhere to vent it, so she began to complain to everyone in the Mansion. Her sharp voice echoed in the corridors of the Mansion, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances and dissatisfaction in her heart.

The maid beside her carefully repeated everything that happened at the entrance of Caiyin Building, not daring to miss any detail.

Marquis Yong'an and the Crown Prince listened quietly, and after listening, they both fell into a long silence.

They knew clearly that what the Prince Regent's Office said was true. The severance of the relationship was ordered by the emperor himself, handled by the Ministry of Rites, and was already recorded.

If they continue to pester the emperor, once someone catches them, they will most likely be charged with the crime of deceiving the emperor, which is enough to destroy the entire mansion.

"My Lord, are we just going to let this matter go like this?" Madam Xiao widened her eyes, her eyes full of unwillingness and anger. She really couldn't swallow this anger, and the handkerchief she was holding tightly seemed to be torn into pieces by her.

"Hmph! That Xiaoyu is also a useless thing!" Yong'an Hou slammed the table so hard that the teacup on the table shook a few times and some tea splashed out.

"It's been so long since I entered the palace, but there's no good news..." His words were full of disappointment and anger towards his adopted son. In his opinion, Xiao Yubai's non-cooperation made it difficult to advance the Marquis' Mansion's plan.

"Father, in my opinion, I'm afraid I can't rely on Xiaoyu anymore." Xiao Yujin frowned slightly, with a hint of fatigue and helplessness in his eyes.

"Such a long time has passed, and not only has his position not been improved, he doesn't even have an heir to the throne. Now, we still have to find a breakthrough from Xiao Yubai." He knew in his heart that everyone in the Marquis' Mansion had looked down on Xiao Yubai in the past.

They thought he was not worthy of being on the stage, but now the situation has reversed, and this man who was once despised by them is holding the lifeline of the future of the Marquisate in his hands.

"Forget it, you go down first. Jin'er, come with me to the study." Marquis Yong'an sighed, stood up, and walked towards the study with Xiao Yujin.

The two of them talked secretly in the study for a long time, but no one knew what they discussed.

Because it was daytime and the sunlight outside was very strong, even the well-trained secret guards in the marquis's mansion could not get close to the study and eavesdrop on the words spoken inside.

For a period of time after this, the Yong'an Marquis Mansion seemed to have quieted down, and there was no movement on the surface, but in fact, they had not really given up their plans against Xiao Yubai.

The conspiracy in the study that day was just waiting for the right opportunity, like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, lying dormant quietly, waiting for the prey to relax its vigilance, and then it would suddenly attack and deliver a fatal blow.

At this time, Fu Nanzhan, who was far away on the battlefield, was leading his army all the way, fighting bravely, and successively conquered five cities of Dada.

In the city lord's mansion, several generals were sitting together discussing military intelligence.

"Your Highness, there seems to be some movement in Nanzhao, but strangely, they have not sent any troops. Why is that?" A general asked with a puzzled look on his face, his eyes fixed on Fu Nanzhan, as if expecting this wise prince to give an answer.

Fu Nanzhan raised his head slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of coldness and decisiveness: "Since they haven't sent any troops, we don't need to pay attention to them for the time being. Pass the order down, the army will rest for two days, and as soon as the food and supplies arrive, we will immediately march to the next capital."

In his mind, he had already drawn up a battle plan. According to the current speed of siege, it would only take a few months to completely capture Dada. Then he could return to his long-awaited home and reunite with Xiao Yubai.

"Your Highness, given the current situation, why haven't you sent envoys to ask for peace?" General Feng asked thoughtfully, stroking his beard.

The other generals also nodded, they were all very puzzled by Dada's unusual behavior.

Fu Nanzhan thought to himself: Do you want me to tell them that it was because we attacked the city too quickly that the Dada people didn’t have time to send out envoys?

But he simply said, "Even if they ask for peace, we can't easily agree. Wouldn't it be better if they didn't come? If they do come, we'll have to find an excuse to refuse, which is really troublesome. Okay, everyone go down and rest."

After saying that, he waved his hand, signaling the generals to retreat.

After everyone left, Fu Nanzhan sat alone in a chair, his eyes revealing a trace of longing and concern.

He wondered in his heart: Why hasn't my wife's letter arrived yet? Little did he know that at this moment his food and letters were being hijacked by a group of Nanzhao people.

While transporting food and fodder, the soldiers in charge of escorting them were suddenly attacked by a group of mysterious people.
