Amnesia villain insists on giving me a baby

Chapter 74

Shen Yi, a well-known treasure for protecting her husband——

Mr. Xu's funeral ceremony was grand, but fortunately, he left a message before his death, saying that everything about his funeral should be kept simple, as long as he and his beloved wife were buried together.

Otherwise, in such a huge capital city, half of the people would rush to see him off.

Xu Muzhou didn't participate, but after the funeral ceremony, he took the time to meet with Xu Shuangtan. Now in the entire Xu family, Xu Shuangtan is the only person who can take care of things.

Shuangtan prepared tea and snacks in the main hall, dressed in filial piety, without hair ornaments on her head, only a white flower on her temple.These days, she has been dealing with internal and external affairs by herself, and she is exhausted physically and mentally, but her face is still calm and calm.

On the other hand, the eldest son, Xu Xiuyu, was the one who protected his grandfather the most and left, so he shrank in his nest like a chick that had lost its shelter.

So when Xu Muzhou came, seeing the spirit of Sister Shuangtan, he bluntly said that the old man is accurate in judging people.

Xu Shuangtan was puzzled, Xu Muzhou put aside the sweet cakes he brought for the younger sister, and explained patiently: "The old man has been worrying about this family all his life, he probably knew that he was going to die soon. How could he not think about the future."

The so-called consideration of the future is just that the old man wants to choose a patriarch who will be able to bear important responsibilities after his death.

"Sister Shuangtan, the current candidate for the head of the family is none other than you. The old man also means the same." Xu Muzhou looked at Xu Shuangtan with a gentle expression. Although he had never participated in the funeral ceremony of the old man, he had worn it for the past few days. Su Yi.

Sitting so opposite to Shuang Tan, it looks like a pair of brothers and sisters.

".." Xu Shuangtan was surprised for a while, and then calmed down, as if thinking of something, "No wonder.. The matter of investigating the Mingling Building, it is grandpa who is testing me, right?"

Xu Muzhou nodded: "Exactly. My sister is born smart."

It turned out that Mr. Xu saw someone's conspiracy with ulterior motives early in the morning, and guessed the identity of "Treasurer Cao", and also knew that Xiliang forces were involved in this matter.

But if you send your own people to investigate, Jin Qiantui's eyeliner is everywhere in the capital, and it is very easy to scare the snake. Similarly, Xu Muzhou and Shen Yi are naturally inconvenient to take action.

At this time, it is necessary for an outsider who will never arouse suspicion to get involved in the famous actor's building. In this way, Xu Muzhou will have an excellent excuse to go in and find someone.

And Shuang Tan is the best person to carry out this task.

So Xu Muzhou sent A Yuan to wait at the entrance of Caishi where the younger sister will pass by, and make sure to bring him back.It's just that the plan went smoothly, even more than expected.

Afterwards, A Yuan was asked to accompany her to Mingyinglou, firstly to protect Xu Shuangtan's safety; secondly, to explore the secrets of Minglinglou more deeply.

The masters of the left and right Yingjiang League have already arranged, and neither Xu Shuangtan nor A Yuan will be in danger.

Hearing this, Xu Shuangtan sighed, "I have always been suspicious that the second brother solved this matter too easily, and I thought that Xu was the second brother who set up the game for you."

"I didn't expect...it turned out to be my grandfather's test...then, have I passed?"

Xu Muzhou was originally worried that Xu Shuangtan's possible mentality of a young daughter, once he knew that he was a part of the layout, would feel a little bit of being used, and then he couldn't accept it.

Fortunately, the old man's vision of seeing people is accurate and poisonous. He said earlier that their family, Shuang Tan, is by no means such a fragile person.

"Of course, Sister Shuangtan is bold and careful. She is more courageous than most men in the world. She is also cautious in her actions and calm in situations. The old man will feel at ease when the Xu family property is in your hands."

Xu Muzhou tried his best to be a good messenger: "I didn't add any embellishments, these are all the words written by the old man himself in the reply letter to me afterwards."

That's it, Xu Shuangtan officially took over the position of the head of the Xu family, and the palm print was handed over to her by the old man's "half-immortal" confidant.

As for the younger generation of the Xu family, they spent half their lives fighting openly and secretly for the position of head of the family, fighting brothers against each other. It seemed like a joke.

Xu Shuangtan took over all the business of the Xu family, set aside a small part for his eldest brother Xu Xiuyu, and used most of the rest to cooperate with the Shadow River League.

Of course, this was Xu Muzhou's idea. Xu Shuangtan thought that the second brother's proposal was reasonable, and joining forces with the Yingjiang League was equivalent to having the care of the royal family.

In this way, the Xu family, which is undergoing a change of patriarch, can gain a firm foothold.As for the outcome of the matter, it is naturally gratifying. With the way of the Regent, coupled with the external expansion of the Shadow River League, the Xu family quickly stepped out of the trough, and the three parties cooperated for a win-win situation.

The Xu family is still the number one noble merchant in the capital and the richest man in Fengguo.

Xu Shuangtan became the head of the family as a woman, and was also controversial at the beginning. With the recovery and continuous expansion of the Xu family's business, the criticism gradually disappeared.

But at the same time, another remarkable thing happened in the Xu family.

Besides, since Shen Yi and Xu Muzhou got married, the Shen family and the Xu family have not had a single contact. After all, they are in-laws, so in the eyes of others, it is not very suitable.

In the past when the old man was around, no one dared to speak too much, but now that the old man passed away, there was a lot of discussion outside.It is said that the descendants of the two families are already famous relatives-in-law, but why the two clans are like enemies who never meet.

Shen Yi is the regent of the current dynasty, and his status is naturally the highest. The Shen family is also a relative of the emperor. Coupled with the previous incident with Xu Xuanyang, Xu Huan and his wife are already notorious.

Nowadays, everyone says that they not only have no way to teach their sons, but also treat the concubine harshly, exile them far away, regardless of life and death, and now they are married without any indication.

What's more, the other party is still Prince Shen, who is suspected of despising the royal family and disrespecting the regent.

Unable to bear the heavy pressure of everyone spitting, Xu Huan and his wife finally entered the door of Prince Shen's mansion half a year after Xu Muzhou and Shen Yi got married.

Although Xu Huan is Xu Muzhou's biological father, the distinction between monarch and minister is always the first, and they should come to worship Shen Yi and Xu Muzhou.

But it was also a coincidence that Xu Muzhou happened to go out that day, only Shen Yi was at the mansion, and the two respectfully greeted Lord Shen, and then exchanged a few words of greeting.

Then I don't know what happened, but it was reported that Lian Qiu, Xu Huan's deputy, strayed into the forbidden area of ​​the palace, violated the prestige of the "Long Sword for Protecting the Nation" bestowed by the former emperor, and was ordered by the regent to be punished by military law.

He was beaten with fifty sticks and thrown into the street.

The stick used to enforce military discipline is not comparable to the wooden sticks that can be seen everywhere in ordinary people's homes. In addition, those who beat people in the army are all good hands.

As soon as Xu Muzhou came back, he heard about it.Laughing in his heart, he went to Shen Yi's study to find someone. Shen Yi was busy with his work at the moment, so Xu Muzhou moved a chair and sat down gently beside him.

"Today, Lian Qiu really violated the power of the long sword?" Xu Muzhou asked with a smile.

Shen Yi replied without raising his head: "This king said that he offended, and he did. Can he be wronged?"

Xu Muzhou knew that this must be a deliberate trick by Shen Yi. This is the Prince Regent's Mansion, seducing people at will, breaking one or two taboos, and it's not all Shen Yi's mouth.

He remembered that when he was in Xialiang County, Lian Qiu whipped Xu Muzhou in the street with the golden whip given by the emperor.

If Xu Huan hadn't been Shen Yi's father-in-law no matter what he said, Shen Yi would definitely have beaten him together.

It's a pity that Shen Yi was not so deviant after all, Xu Huan couldn't beat him, so he could only vent his anger on Lian Qi.

"What's the matter, do you think I didn't do well...?" Shen Yi looked at Xu Muzhou with dark eyes, and his expression looked very cute.

Shen Yi didn't care that people all over the world regarded him as an "evil king", but if it was Xu Muzhou's opinion, he still became a little nervous.

After all, sometimes, when he was dealing with the prisoners, as well as the prisoners' followers and relatives, Xu Muzhou occasionally frowned, questioning that his actions were too cruel.

But this time, Xu Muzhou hugged him from behind, and kissed him in the ear: "I'm not such a ignorant person, you are retaliation for me, how can I think you are bad."

"Besides, I've wanted to do that for a long time. I thought about it when I was in Xialiang County. I want to thank you."

Shen Yi was coaxed by Xu Muzhou so that his heart was hot, and he wished he could roll on the bed right now and indulge in intimacy.

However, the official business at hand cannot be delayed. Although this is exhausting, Shen Yi still puts state affairs first.

"What's the matter, is there any change in the situation of the court?" Xu Muzhou has already noticed that there are especially many official documents sent in these few days, and Shen Yi is also very busy.

It is estimated that there is another change in the border war.It's just that Xu Muzhou was busy with the affairs of Xu's family before, and only now did he find time to ask.

Shen Yi's brows were furrowed, he was already very worried: "Xiliang warriors appeared in the Mingling Tower, and this Mingling Tower was clearly established in the capital of our dynasty!"

"The "treasurer Cao" is also under Jin Yuxian's subordinates. It can be seen that Jin Yuxian has colluded with Xiliang, and Xiliang has mixed in. How could Beiyan be missing. "

"This is a sign. They haven't made any movement yet, but the more they stay still, the more danger they will hide."

Xu Muzhou nodded, he agreed with what Shen Yi said, but there was one thing he couldn't figure out.

This Jin Qiantui is a native of the Central Plains. He has worked hard all his life to climb to his current position, which is above ten thousand people.

But why did he continue to collude secretly with the people of Xiliang? If Beiyan and Xiliang attacked, Fengguo would be isolated and helpless, and would be destroyed. Then wouldn't all his efforts to climb to the top be in vain?

What benefit would it do him?

Shen Yi cupped Xu Muzhou's face, touching the tip of his nose, and said warmly: "He is a lunatic, how can we ordinary people understand what a lunatic thinks."

"As long as I can remember, this eunuch has always opposed my Shen family. But he is a servant in the palace, and my family is a minister outside the court. There is no conflict of interest."

"Tell me, why is he doing this?"
