"That woman was born in a brothel. Although she is clean, her background … even an ordinary family would despise her, let alone a rich family like the Xu family."
"Liu Mei 'er? Hasn't Chu Wangmo already … taken her as his adopted sister? Not long ago, there was a ceremony at the Gluttonous House? In terms of status, Chu Wangmo's sister … is already a princess! "
"Heh, Chu Wangmo … he's clearly doing this to protect his brother's reputation and vent his anger. But no one with a discerning eye would take such a thing seriously. "
"Just like … the Grand Secretary's mysterious sister from Da Qi?" Someone chuckled.
"This matter is not to be discussed carelessly. It's better not to talk about it," someone warned.
They could talk about Xu Fufu or Liu Mei 'er in private. Even if they said a few words about Chu Wangmo … it was not a big deal.
But when it came to the Grand Secretary of the Imperial Court, they had to be careful with their words and actions.
Because a big shot like Xu Zhongliang was not someone they could talk about.
"I'm curious. You said that the Xu family has severed all ties with Xu Fufu. Then … will anyone from the Xu family attend Xu Fufu's wedding?" someone asked curiously.
"This … we also want to know." Many people's faces were filled with curiosity.
In fact, no!
Apart from Xu Fufu's parents, no one from the Xu family was present!
It was said that Xu Fufu's parents, who had always kept a low profile, almost had a falling out with the old man. Many people in the Xu family were also puzzled.
But Xu Zhongliang used his authority as the head of the family — no one was allowed to go!
"Whoever dares to go is not a member of the Xu family!" From the beginning, Xu Zhongliang had not explained to anyone why he had expelled Xu Fufu from the family, or why he was so angry.
As a result, this matter had caused quite a stir within the Xu family.
In particular, Xu Fufu now had an enviable wealth — the Gluttonous House had been sold!
All the properties of the Gluttonous House had been exchanged for gold and silver.
No one knew the exact number, but everyone knew that it was not a small number.
In any case, whether they understood or not, or made all sorts of guesses … the Grand Secretary ignored all of them.
At this moment, he was smiling as he sat on Fan Wudi's VIP seat, waiting for his' sister's' wedding to begin.
Xu Fufu and Chu Mo, on the other hand, were chatting and laughing together.
"Mei-er saw Grandpa a few days ago and was finally relieved. She knows that Grandpa is not targeting her." Xu Fufu couldn't help but sigh. He reached out and wanted to touch the little Shiba Inu in Chu Mo's pocket.
He reached his hand out, wanting to touch the Shia Inu in Chu Mo's pocket. The dog immediately shrank back.
"Stupid dog … so vigilant!" Xu Fufu scolded jokingly. He also liked small animals, and had tried to 'sneak attack' the Shia Inu many times, but none of them had succeeded.
Chu Mo smiled. "It's good that Sister Mei 'er doesn't think too much about it. It's just that Grandpa Xu is under a bit more pressure."
"Grandpa is a loyal official." Xu Fufu sighed and stopped talking about this issue.
At this moment, Wang Dafa ran in from outside, sweating profusely. Seeing the two sitting there and chatting, he immediately said with a bitter face, "Sirs, I'm going crazy from work, but you guys are so relaxed."
Xu Fufu smiled and cupped his hands. "Mr. Wang, you've worked hard!"
The corner of Wang Dafa's mouth twitched. "Alright, Young Master Xu, don't tease me. I'm not working hard, not at all."
As he spoke, Wang Dafa looked at Chu Mo and said softly, "The people over there have already started to set off to the place you mentioned. They've been walking for ten days. In another month, they should be able to reach the border. However, with so many people crossing the border … are you sure that His Majesty … "
Chu Mo nodded. "Don't worry, it's fine."
Wang Dafa nodded. "That's good!"
An army of one hundred thousand, plus millions of family members, set off in batches from all over the country. They crossed the border through a passage that had already been occupied by the military at the end of the Broken Sky Mountain Range. This kind of thing was quite sensitive in today's war.
Especially when these people carried a large amount of wealth and supplies … This amount of wealth was enough to make anyone jealous.
Even if these people had enough ability to protect themselves, Wang Dafa was still worried that something might go wrong.
"That place happens to be under the jurisdiction of the Third Prince …" Wang Dafa said softly.
Chu Mo said, "His Majesty has already issued a decree …"
"Your Majesty is amazing!" Wang Dafa was completely relieved. Then, he turned around and left to continue his work.
After Wang Dafa left, Xu Fufu looked at Chu Mo. "Did His Majesty really issue a decree?"
Chu Mo nodded and thought back to half a month ago, when the Emperor had secretly met with him.
"How generous …" In Chu Mo's study room in the Fan Mansion, the Emperor had only brought along the nameless old eunuch in disguise and paid a secret visit. The first sentence the Emperor said when he saw Chu Mo was this very complicated sigh.
"Your Majesty has promised me," Chu Mo said lightly.
"Will you be content to be the King of Chu?" The Emperor looked at Chu Mo with burning eyes and said straightforwardly, "I even feel that you are more dangerous than Da Qi …"
"Your Majesty, are you going to make a move on me?" Chu Mo looked at the Emperor without hesitation.
"You have made so many contributions to Da Xia. How … how could I make a move on you? Actually … speaking of which, I … feel a little guilty towards you. "The Emperor was a little emotional, and there was a touch of sadness in his tone.
"Your Majesty, you have done a good job. If it were someone else in your position, maybe … they would really make a move on me," Chu Mo said lightly with a smile.
"I … am not confident that I can make a move on you!" The Emperor admitted his deep thoughts very frankly.
This made Chu Mo's resentment towards the Emperor lessen a little.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Unless one day Da Xia takes the initiative to attack Chu, Chu … will always be a vassal state of Da Xia," Chu Mo said.
The Emperor looked at Chu Mo with sparkling eyes and said, "Can you guarantee that after you leave … the descendants of the Fan family who grow up won't have that ambition?"
Chu Mo smiled and said, "If they do anything unusual, Your Majesty, you can deal with them as you wish."
The Emperor looked at Chu Mo for a while and said faintly, "What if … they can't fight anymore by then?"
Chu Mo was slightly stunned and then said, "Before I leave, I will leave an order. If they go against it, then … it is equivalent to betraying me. I will never shelter them again. "
The Emperor was silent for a while and then said, "I hope this problem will never happen. With your 100,000 soldiers and the help of the Queen of the Prairie, it won't be difficult to conquer Da Qi's territory."
Chu Mo said, "Ten thousand li of territory is enough."
