Chapter Thirty-Three: Du Ruhui

  "Of course not!" Yang Jier said proudly with her head held high.

  "That fool wanted to race with me, and look at his broken-down car, it didn't take two seconds for me to overtake him, he was so angry that his face turned bright red." Yang Jier's hands danced with excitement, every victory of the little girl was an excited triumph.

  Yang Jier was too busy being happy and didn't notice that Yang You's face had gradually darkened, continuing to talk to himself.

  "That country bumpkin, losing the game and still daring to be insolent, doesn't he know who he is? Luckily Dong Yue rushed over and taught that guy a lesson."

  Yang Jier suddenly stopped, at this time, she just discovered that the atmosphere was a bit eerie. All the guards were trembling with fear, and her groom was the most unbearable, his face pale, body shaking, lips purple, obviously already aware of his mistake.

  Yang You's face was as cold as water, and he didn't say a word at that station. The atmosphere around him seemed to have solidified, and the air was a bit stiff.

  The guards all didn't dare to look straight at Yang You, they all had to turn their faces sideways, some lowered their heads as if there was a treasure on the ground.

  "That was him provoking me first!" Yang Jier argued with a lack of confidence.

  "Hmm!"

  Yang You let out a cold hum, didn't say a word, and turned his head to get on the car.

  "Yang You, aren't you angry?" Yang Jier knew she was in the wrong and got on the carriage to apologize to Yang You.

  It has always been Yang Jier bullying Yang You, but now that she sees Yang You suddenly getting angry, Yang Jier only realizes that it has always been Yang You who was giving in to her, and this time she is the one who is being too reckless.

  "You see I'm fine! With so many guards around, who dares to do anything to me?" Yang Jier softly defended herself.

  "Ah!"

  Yang You let out a sigh and looked at Yang Jier's innocent face, also couldn't bear it.

  This is a little girl who grew up in the palace since childhood. She has followed me out many times during this period, and although she has been very happy, she has become somewhat arrogant.

  Now no one is in charge, and it's already like a runaway wild horse, soon to become a crazy girl. If this continues, it won't be good.

  "You are a princess of the Great Yu Dynasty, you are the most noble girl in the world, all happiness will revolve around you, but while enjoying these benefits, you must also bear the corresponding responsibilities. Your every word and deed represents the image of the royal family. When you perform well, the royal family is glorious, but now you don't even match with others, racing cars! How can you let everyone look at you like this!"

  "That's..." Yang Jier's face turned red as he tried to defend himself, but couldn't say a word. At this point, he had already realized his own mistake.

  "No matter what, even if you have a thousand reasons, if you get hurt from this street racing incident, I can assure you that your chance of leaving the palace again will be gone. Even if I agree and Mother agrees, the officials in the imperial court won't agree!" Yang Yu said with a determined heart, speaking the truth.

  Yang Jier's face turned pale in an instant, this period of happy life was the happiest time in her life, carefree and full of excitement and freshness, this ten-year-old little girl was irresistible temptation.

  Yang Jier usually didn't think much and only thought about her own happiness, but at this time she realized that without Yang You's support, every step was difficult.

  Now if she were allowed to return to her former life in the palace, it would be torture for her. The reason she was able to leave the palace was because of Yang Yu's indulgence towards her.

  As a 20th-century person, Yang Yu would certainly not want such an innocent and naive girl to spend her days in the palace feeling cold, lonely, and self-pitying.

  Although Yang Jie'er was nominally Yang You's aunt, she was actually three years younger than him and had always been treated as a younger sister by him.

  "Now in Daxing there are only you, me and mother, three close relatives. Don't be reckless, let's worry." Yang You knew that his previous words were a bit heavy, so he started to comfort Yang Jier with affection.

  "Stinky Yang Yu!"

  Yang Jier choked back a sob, her eyes red and puffy, glaring fiercely at Yang You before turning away with a hint of resentment and returning to her own carriage.

  Seeing Yang Jier return to her own carriage, Yang You's icy face quietly thawed, revealing a smile. He believed that after this time, Yang Jier would definitely become much more sensible.

  As a royal person, they can get many things in daily life, but what they need to restrain will be more.

  The fleet continued to start, continuing towards Duling, all the way in silence.

  As Yang Jier had been speeding just now, he had already rushed for quite a distance. Continuing on for less than an hour, they arrived at Duling.

  Du Ling is flat and fertile, after hundreds of years of development, it has developed into a large town, very prosperous.

  Here, apart from the famous Du's Mausoleum, there is another massive structure standing tall, that is the Du's House.

  The Du family is the largest landlord in Duling, and it's also a century-old family. The Du family truly rose to prominence during the Later Zhou period, their ancestors were all high-ranking officials of the Zhou dynasty, and they have been thriving until now.

  Not to mention the distant past, since Yang Jian's accession to the throne, Du Guo of the Du family had been serving as the Minister of Works in the Sui Dynasty and was later enfeoffed as Duke of Yixing. His son, Du Ya, served as the Long History of Changzhou, and can be said to have held high-ranking positions continuously.

  Du Gong is Du Ruhui's father and also the famous Du Ruhui in the later "House of Du, Strategy of Fu"

  Not bad, Yang You came to Du Ling's purpose is to ask Du Ruhui to assist himself. Du Ruhui can be praised by later generations, Yang You obviously cannot give up such a great talent.

  In order to specially invite Du Ruhui to come out of the mountain, Yang You specially appointed this brick road that was built to Duling to represent his sincerity.

  The horse-drawn carriage entered Duling and moved slowly along the road. Yang You looked at the Dou family's mansions on both sides of the road, lost in thought.

  As a large number of projects started, things gradually became more complicated. Yao Si Lian's shortcomings in governance were finally exposed, and he was busy all day, dizzy and exhausted, making mistakes several times, and had been besieged by a group of scholars several times.

  Yang You thought for a long time and finally realized that there was another great figure being buried beside him, which was Du Ruhui next to Daxing.

  The horse carriage stopped in front of a tall gate and large courtyard. While the brick road was being built, Yang You's secret agent had already roughly figured out Du Ruhui's situation.

  Du Ruju is now resigned and at home, although he is in a noble family with no worries about food and clothing, but being resigned and at home also makes him the subject of people's ridicule, living very uncomfortably.

  "Bang! Bang!"

  Dong Yue went forward and knocked on the door.

  "Here comes, here comes"

  The Du family's gate was tightly closed, and a voice came from inside with a hint of impatience.

  The Du family is also a high-ranking household, and the Du family's gatekeeper is also knowledgeable. At this time, it was already afternoon, and usually at this time, those who came to the Du family were some poor relatives.

  Creak! The gate opened! A doorkeeper dressed as a servant stuck his head out.

  "Who are you?" The gatekeeper was startled by so many people in front of the door and didn't expect so many people.

  "My young master is from Daxing and has come specifically to pay his respects to Mr. Du Kemu." Dong Yue handed over a gilt visiting card.

  Keming is Du Ruhui's courtesy name. The doorman took over the gilt visiting card and felt a shock in his heart. As the doorman of the Du family, he had also come into contact with all sorts of people and received various kinds of visiting cards, some simple and others exquisite.

  However, he had never received such a letter before. The dense ink fragrance, the beautiful pattern, and the fine but square and round font all showed the owner's nobility.

  What shocked the gatekeeper even more was the two elegant 'BMW' cars parked in front of the door, which ordinary people couldn't afford.

  The name of BMW has already spread throughout Daxing, and if a wealthy family doesn't have a BMW to show off, they will lose face. Now, BMW has exceeded its practical significance and has become a symbol of status.

  "Please wait a moment, I'll go and report!" The gatekeeper was also a clever person, and he rushed forward to report.

  "Sorry, my Seventh Master is out and not at home."

  The gatekeeper returned after a while and apologetically said that Du Ruhui was the seventh in the entire Du family, so he was called Seventh Master.

  However, Qi Lao Ye has been playing on the brick road recently, and he might be able to meet him if he rushes back and forth! The doorman added.

  But he didn't know that Yang You and others didn't recognize Du Ruhui at all, even if they met face to face.

  "Instead of His Highness, Du Ruhui is not at home." Dong Yue returned to report.

  "Then let's go back!" Yang You felt a little disappointed, didn't expect that he would end up with nothing.

  The convoy turned around and started returning on its original route.

  "Halt, no one is allowed to leave."

  Just as he had walked a short distance, a burly figure blocked his way.
