As expected, Du Zhao did not come to the evening family dinner. He refused to let Yichen take care of him. He did not come, and everyone did not force him.

"If you don't come, we can have a small gathering and try Fu'er's medicinal wine."

Du Peng poured the wine with a smile.

"Okay, has my brother been like this all the time?"

Du Heng couldn't help asking.

"He has been awkward since he got back, as if everyone else should follow him. It would be better to kill Fu'er and everything will be fine. It's so strange.

My son is like that, and he is not a baby. He insists that we don’t like Lianrong and Yichen. They have no place to do so, so I have to protect him. I think he is just making excuses for his behavior, but he is unwilling to admit that he is wrong."

Du Peng snorted, very dissatisfied.

"Hey! How could the eldest brother become like this? Yichen's child is ruined."

Du Heng sighed too.

"Dad, why are you worried about these things? Yichen has always been like this. Our brothers don't kiss him, so they can't kiss him, and no one in the clan pays attention to him. Once, he talked about Fu'er's bad habits everywhere, and the clan leader beat him up and was much more honest."

Du Chen curled his lips contemptuously, looking down on the brother Yichen, and doing things too cruelly and not following the right path.

"Forget it, I won't mention it anymore. It's rare to be happy today. Brother Chen, you are going to go out and do your best when you go out. You can't miss this opportunity. Without your sister's hard work to support you, you can't have today. Cherish every opportunity today, it's hard to come by."

Du Heng warned his son not to be arrogant.

"Yes, Dad, don't worry, I know that I have today's glory and future, and my sister has made it hard for me. I know in my heart that I will do it well."

Du Chen nodded seriously, with a serious look on his face.

"Brother Nan and Brother Jun also need to work hard. As long as you have a good ranking, your future will not be short of your future. You know what kind of person your sister is. Don't be jealous. After all, the future will be achieved by yourself."

Du Heng did not forget his two nephews.

"Yes, the third uncle is, we are not jealous of our third brother. The master in the clan is also a Jinshi. My sister also found us the notes of the Master Qi family. She did not forget our brothers. We cannot be jealous, we will work hard to improve."

Brother Nan glanced at his younger brother, smiled at each other, and stood up generously and spoke.

Du Heng smiled and pressed his hands towards them and let them sit down.

"You must not hit your sister's work in the future when you go out. If your father and I find out, you will break your legs."

Du Heng snorted angrily.

"yes."

"Well, let's have a meal. Today is a good day. The whole family is happy to have a meal. I'll be allowed to have two glasses of Monkey Wine."

Du Peng also spoke with a smile.

The New Year was celebrated just a few days after Du Heng came back. The mansion was cleaned up. Jingfu stayed at the Du family for the New Year and could not run around anymore. She was about to get married in the spring. It was not suitable to run back to her grandfather's house. It would make people talk.

During the New Year, I sent some gifts to the Yang family, which had my own needlework, some good materials and two sets of imperial jewelry for my aunts and sister Paner. All the things are also a big bag.

Everyone is very lively this year, but Du Zhao has always been unhappy with a stern face. Yichen has not come out and stays in his yard to recuperate. He has not had a good life this year.

Du Zhao and Jingfu treated each other coldly, avoiding them if they could. They almost didn't speak, and others were extremely helpless when they saw them.

However, he did everything he should persuade and said. Du Zhao refused to turn around and no one could do anything. Everyone stopped persuading him and let him go.

Du Heng asked the old lady about her illness, learned the specific reason for the Li family affairs, and sighed privately, "My mother has been so successful in her life. She married a man and climbed step by step, and she jumped from a business woman to an official wife. If my father hadn't died early, my mother would have made many people envious.

Although it is not easy to be a widow to take us with us, the uncle of the patriarch is a kind man. He has brought us together and taught us. My mother almost didn't bother with me, and there were no ones in the clan who were too high and low. Some of them were also outsiders.

All three of our sons have become officials, and they all praise my mother for being capable and teaching three good sons. In fact, we know in our hearts that this is all the credit of the patriarch uncle. Without him, we will not be today.

My mother always hoped that the Li family could change the family. The Li family listened to her mother very much, but it turned out that this happened today. It was difficult for her to accept that someone in the Du family dared to resist her.

My sister-in-law was the first one who refused to surrender and lost her life, while Fu'er was the second one, but her wolf-like personality finally defeated her."

Qian exhorted after hearing this, "You can't blame Fu'er. The Li family has not stopped over the years. Lianrong was taught like that, and there are also the Li family's contributions.

What children can understand? At the beginning, they didn’t teach them well. At such a young age, they used money to bribe Fu’er and asked her to die. I don’t believe that the Li family had no idea about this ruthlessness.

They were still afraid of blocking Lianrong's way, so they didn't have a good intention, so they kept giving money to their elder brother and alienating their father and daughter. They also made a contribution to their deaths. They died without any wickedness, and in the end they left behind a little boy, which was considered to have left a root for the eldest house."

Du Heng sighed, "I know, the Li family did not do good things. I asked Du Peng. I have been very arrogant outside because of the Du family's power over the years. This time I was cleaned up, and the patriarch was willing to do so.

This time, the uncle of the clan leader talked to me for a long time. Now the Du family has been completely renewed and has reorganized. Seeing that their appearance and spirit are different, the second brother has become more and more clear and honest. It's really great."

Qian smiled and said, "Fu'er, a child, has the means and scheming, but he also has great kindness. No matter how wronged he feels, he is worthy of his conscience and the surname Du family to you brothers."

"Yes, it's not her fault for her mother. I understand in my heart that this is her mother's disaster. Without this, there would be something else. Fu'er will not kill the nine clans if she takes action. If the opponent attacks, the Li family will not be able to have a living person."

How could Du Heng not understand the sinisterness of the officialdom when he became an official? He is not good at scheming but not stupid. Being upright and kind is his best protective umbrella.

"Don't worry, Fu'er said that the old lady was just recovering slowly, but she wouldn't be seriously injured within three to five years."

Qian gritted his teeth at this mother-in-law, but because of her husband's face, he just kept it in his heart. Now he was not good at talking when he saw the old lady ill. In fact, he felt happy. This is because bad people will be punished.

"When Brother Chen becomes a kiss, please go out with me. Let Brother Chen take his wife away. Don't show off your mother-in-law's advice. Brother Yu Chen of the Li family has the kindness of teaching. We have to treat other people's daughter well."

Du Heng pulled his wife to sit beside him, gently brushing away the hair on his temples for her. Looking at her face, she found that she also had vague white hair, and couldn't help feeling pity.

"Daughter-in-law, I have been wronged by you over the years. My mother is not a kind mother-in-law. When I was young, I didn't know how to do internal affairs. I was inevitably confused by my mother and did not protect you enough.

Now that my son is old, we can do nothing to care about so much and be able to stay together. I know that the Du family is sorry for your three wives. What I can do is to leave the rest of my life to you alone."
