Well, Yan Gui looked at Su Changle, whose nose and eyes were wrinkled with soreness, and couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart, thinking that he would suffer the consequences if he did evil.
Su Changle was not Yan Gui. He had to bite the bullet and eat the sour grapes. He spat them into Wei Yang's porcelain bowl, rinsed his mouth with the water poured by Yan Gui, and said, "It's so sour, how can it taste good?"
Weiyang curled her lips speechlessly, feeling inexplicably aggrieved.
"This is for you." Su Changle handed the box on the table to Wei Yang: "Open it yourself and don't give it back to me. I won't take it back."
Wei Yang took the box in confusion: "What is it?"
Weiyang tried to open the box carved from golden nanmu wood, but it didn't open. She lifted it up and looked at it curiously. This box looked familiar!
After trying, it still didn't open. Yan Gui took the box and looked at it: "It uses Luban lock."
The Luban lock suddenly reminded Wei Yang that she remembered that when she was a child, she had a jewelry box that used a Luban lock. It was given to her by her father, who said it was for her daughter's dowry.
Wei Yang opened the box in a few seconds according to her memory, and inside the box was a land deed with a seal on it.
"What's this?"
Wei Yang looked at the deed in her hand in surprise. Chuzhou Huaishan, Yueliangshan, Niutoushan... a total of six hills. In other words, this was a connected hill that was bought by the Su family.
She read it over and over again. She recognized the words but didn't understand the meaning.
Wei Yang handed the land deed to Su Changle and said, "Why are you giving me a piece of mountain? Are you going to let Yan Gui occupy the mountain and become a bandit?"
Su Changle waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't give it to me, this is for my future nephew, you keep it."
Seeing that Su Changle didn't answer, Yan Gui took over: "This is a place in Chuzhou, very suitable for living, and there are hot springs."
Hearing that it was suitable for living and had hot springs, Wei Yang became interested and said, "How about we build a villa as a family?"
Su Changle shook his head: "This is for my nephew, no one can change it. You can build a bigger one, and if the Su family wants to go, they can live in your Yan family's villa."
Wei Yang frowned and turned to look at Yan Gui.
She always felt something was wrong. Yan Gui pondered for a moment, put the deed into the box and closed it: "Then I will take it for my son. When the summer heat is over, I will send people to build the villa."
General Yan's resignation caused an uproar in the court.
The Queen Mother frowned and looked at the memorial Zhao Xu placed on her desk: "Mother, tell me, why did my uncle-in-law give up his military power? Did I do anything wrong?"
"What do you think, Your Majesty? What does General Yan mean by this?"
"I don't know." Zhao Xu paused for a moment, and glanced at the memorial: "The Yan family really should take a break. It's more important to let my aunt have more children for General Yan."
Su Junyao stood still with a dull look in her eyes, but a chill rose in her heart, so cold that she couldn't help but clench her hands.
Why did Yan Gui resign his post and hand over the military power after conquering Xiongzhou City? He did this to preserve the Yan family and to protect the Su family. Once the Yan family's military power was handed over, Sun Changle and Su Muchen would no longer have to go fishing and playing chess at home every day.
Sun Junyao chuckled and said, "That's good. The Yan family has lost so many men in the past few decades. It's time to take a break and let another family guard Xiongzhou, Yanzhou."
Zhao Xu reached out and took the memorial on the table: "Since mother also said so, then I will approve it at the court tomorrow morning."
He had lived in Yanzhou before. The Yan family’s reputation in Yanzhou was so high that it was enough to shake the lord.
It would be best if General Yan took the initiative to hand over his military power.
