C215 (1/2)
Today, the most unstable families outside the palace were Xu Family and Zhang Family.
The other clans might be affected, but they were not the main clans.
Even though Ye Jingche was a conceited person, he was still intelligent. He knew that if he failed in the palace, if it was anyone else who controlled their Xu Family, they might still have a chance to talk.
Only, he never would have thought that although he didn't know much about Xu Family, he knew that he would make a move today.
And Xu Shiqiu, on the other hand, had returned to the capital yesterday and specially hidden in the palace for a day, just to wait for him to make a move and take him down in the open.
If that was the case, how could these two guilds not be prepared?
Yan Ye did not enter the palace today but chose to stay in the backyard of the Xu Family. His mission was not only to keep an eye on the situation outside the palace, but also to ensure that the's guards and people Ye Jingxing had arranged for would not be able to protect the Xu Family.
However, it was unknown whether it was Ye Jingche who had brought all of his subordinates' elites into the palace or the Xu Family's guards, or the people Ye Jingxing had arranged were just too brave and fierce. The group of people who had surrounded the Xu Family had charged over three times, but still failed to break through their defensive line.
Although their Zhang Family were slightly worse than their Xu Family, a few people rushed in, but with Zhang Family alone, their families had more children and grandchildren, a few of them surrounded and attacked one person, and the people who just rushed in were beaten to death by Zhang Family's random sticks.
However, in the courtyard house in Xu Family, Madame Jiang who had not heard the news in advance was still too frightened to tell.
”Who did our family offend?”
Madame Jiang looked at Xu Yanqing in fear. After hearing what she said, she did not say a word, and just as she was about to continue, she heard her husband whisper to him, ”Don't worry. It seems like mother has already made arrangements.”
When Xu Xiaozhi's words came out, the Madame Jiang froze for a moment before quickly reacting, ”That's right! Right! With Mother here, our family will definitely be fine. ”
Although the Madame Jiang was timid, she was one thing good, and that was, she was especially afraid of the, this mother-in-law.
Just then, Xu Xiaozhi saw that she wanted to question Xu Yanqing, and immediately brought his mother out.
Xu Yanqing saw that her second uncle had comforted her with a single sentence, and then explained, ”Second uncle is right. Not only did grandma make arrangements for us, even her husband has men assigned to protect us at home.” Xu Yanqing paused before continuing, ”The palace is the most important place. We are not that scary here.”
Just as Xu Yanqing finished speaking, Madame Jiang's expression instantly changed. Luckily she wasn't stupid enough to say anything that wasn't appropriate.
On the other hand, when Xu Xiaozhi heard his eldest nephew's words, he hurriedly nodded his head and said: ”It looks like what you said is very reasonable. None of us are important, what is important is still the palace.”
When Xu Xiaozhi said this, the Madame Jiang opened her mouth, but in the end, she did not say a single word.
Until now, she had been even more foolish. With what had just happened, as well as the words of Xu Yanqing and her husband, she was able to guess just what had happened in the palace.
Thinking that if Ye Jingche ascended the throne, his family would probably be in for a hard time, and her expression would not be good.
Xu Yanmo had been bringing Yuanxi the entire time, and it was just that Yuanxi was tired now. She also had her people place Yuanxi by her side to rest, and truly did not want to get too close to him.
Seeing Second Aunt's expression, she couldn't help but comfort her, ”Second Aunt, don't worry. Grandmother has already made arrangements. If there really is something, someone will send us away.”
When Xu Yanmo said this, Madame Jiang's expression became even better.
It was obvious that she was completely convinced by the Old Madame Xu, but even so, she still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
The Madame Jiang felt that her own life was extremely comfortable, her eldest son's management was getting better and better, and his second son had studied well as well. Although he couldn't compare to Xu Yanqing, his teacher had told him that if he stayed longer than two years, he would be able to become an Elementary Scholar or even come back as a High Scholar.
As for higher?
Madame Jiang did not think that much. Following Xu Family, as long as his second son could pass the High Scholar examination, even if he could not, his family would think of ways to make him an official.
But now, such a good day was most likely gone.
Fortunately the Madame Jiang also understood that if Ye Jingxing successfully ascended the throne, the number one of Xu Family would be different.
So at this time, Madame Jiang did not say any bad words.
However, she was still quite frightened when she heard the commotion outside.
The most unconscious person in all of Xu Family was most likely Yuanxi.
Although her mother and grandmother were not at home today, Dong Shu still kept Mama Yan to help take care of her. With someone familiar by her side, even if she was not familiar with a few Cousin s and her cousin Xu Yanmo, Yuanxi did not cry. It was just that she clearly ate less than when she was at home.
The Mama Yan was also worried, that Dong Shu had especially kept her here today, just in case they were unable to leave the palace, so that she could bring Yuanxi away.
She was a member of the Empress Hu. If something really happened, she would use a part of the Empress Hu's network to leave the capital.
