Meng Shuang spoke of her daughter’s matter.
"Is that Yang Ruxin too much of a bully?" Xu Menghai’s brow furrowed.
"Is that what you think?" Meng Shuang also frowned.
"Isn’t it?" Xu Menghai looked at his wife, "Just a village girl, relying on a bit of medical skills, does she really need to act so domineeringly?"
Meng Shuang couldn’t help but let out a sneer.
"Isn’t it so?"
"Husband, you have been in the officialdom for so many years, yet don’t you even have a woman’s insight?" Meng Shuang sighed, "Why can Yang Ruxin act so domineeringly?"
Xu Menghai’s expression immediately turned solemn: "You mean..."
"Who was the greatest contributor to the previous Yuan Country and now Nanzhao?" Meng Shuang took a deep breath, "Also, don’t you know Gu Qingheng’s background? But..." she pointed upwards, "They pretended not to know, and kept reusing him. What does that indicate?"
Xu Menghai drew a sharp breath.
"Think again about the families that have been unlucky over the past two years. The Gong family was once the Empress’s help, always supplying goods to the palace, but now they are in decline. Yun Wang not only didn’t lend a hand but continued to maintain a good relationship with Yang Ruxin. Then there is the Shen Family; the present situation of Shen Wanxing, you mentioned it was awkward, didn’t you? Also, the Minister of Rites, who is Gu Qingheng’s biological father, but what happened in the end?"
Xu Menghai sat down in the chair, indeed, the misfortunes of these people are connected to the handiwork of that couple. Moreover, he also recalled hearing about the Crown Prince’s visit to the General Residence, spending an entire afternoon there, and subsequently, several elders also went to the Gu Family.
"Husband, I am telling you this to make sure you are aware." Meng Shuang held Xu Menghai’s hand, "You have e this far with difficulty. Previously, because of Wang Zhengzheng’s matter, our family harbored a grudge against Madam Ruyi. Even mother-in-law is not favored by the Empress Dowager anymore. Speaking straightly, mother-in-law is old, but we still have Maomao. He’s still young."
"I understand." Xu Menghai, unlike his sister Xu Mengying, had a nimble mind, and having been through the ups and downs in officialdom over the years, naturally understood its intricacies, and knew his wife was right, he squeezed her hand in return, "I will find an opportunity to make good with General Gu."
"I will go to the Duke Residence now, and I must show my stance before Madam Ruyi." Meng Shuang sighed, "When it’s time to bow, we must not hold our heads high, or we will suffer for it."
"Please take care of Ruirui for now." Xu Menghai patted his wife’s shoulder, "After all, mother isn’t in good health."
"I know." Meng Shuang nodded, "I will have someone tidy up the Xikua Academy and have Ruirui move there."
"You arrange it." Xu Menghai stood up, "I have matters to attend to at the Governor’s Office, I will head off first."
Meng Shuang nodded, waiting for her husband to leave, tidied herself up a bit, and then took a carriage to go out.
In the Duke Residence, it was a lively scene. With Xu Huairui’s previous experience as a caution, even those who looked down on Yang Ruxin restrained themselves. Moreover, most people were willing to associate with Yang Ruxin, so the atmosphere was harmonious.
At this time, everyone was painting.
Yang Ruxin, suddenly interested, joined in.
"Xinxin." Yan Yuyu quietly went over to tug at Yang Ruxin, "I have something to ask you."
