"Go with two people to bring in the presents, while the others look around."

Liu Tong did not express anything. He dismounted and said to the crowd. He had no choice.

"Is that really Du Shaomu?"

"What the hell is going on?"

"Does Du Family have any powerful relatives?"

Looking at the several powerhouses with powerful auras guarding the area of the Du Family, the bystanders on the small street were all in a flurry of discussion, and they were all filled with curiosity.

But when they sensed the pressuring auras from the experts, they did not dare to approach, and could only watch the Du Family Courtyard from the back of their heads, as though they wanted to find something.

"I'm afraid this isn't good. Someone from Su Family has died. We will definitely not let this matter rest!"

"This time, Du Family is in big trouble!"

There were also people who were worried about Du Family. Su Family, the day of North Cloud City, now that Du Shaomu had actually killed Su Family's people, Su Family would not stop there.

"..."

Inside the small hall, Jiang Rou finally found out everything about Du Family from Du Shaomu and the butler of Castellan Mansion.

"Married? Married to Castellan of Fengling City's daughter to enter the Du Family ten days later?"

Jiang Rou was momentarily stunned and unable to recover from her shock.

Jiang Rou also knew about Fengling City. Marquis Fengling, Castellan of Fengling City, that Lee Family was definitely even bigger than North Cloud City.

His own son had only just been chased out by the Su Family, and now he actually wanted to marry the Marquis' daughter.

This time, it was not the marriage, but the marriage. How could Jiang Rou believe that?

However, everything that had happened just now made Jiang Rou feel that it wasn't fake at all.

"Take a seat, Steward Lan, take a seat. The house is simple and crude, don't look out of place."

After a moment of digestion, Jiang Rou came back to her senses and invited Steward Xiaolan to take a seat.

"Madam, you're too polite. I'm just a housekeeper and a servant. Please don't be so rude."

The butler, Xiaolan, did not dare to take a seat as she was very respectful to Jiang Rou from beginning to end.

However, she had already seen the situation of the Du Family with one glance. It was said that this Young Master had said something haughty to marry his clan's young mistress in ten days' time.

She thought now, Let's not talk about the scenery.

Even under such circumstances, the young mistress wouldn't be able to find a place to stay even after ten days. He didn't know how shocked and worried the old mistress and the old master would be if they found out about this.

"Young master."

Du Xiaohou was standing at the corner as he timidly called Du Shaomu over. It seemed that he had something to say.

"There are so many gifts, and they are very valuable. Young master, is this true? Are you really going to marry Castellan of Fengling City's daughter in ten days?"

By pulling Du Shaomu aside alone, Du Xiaohou was completely dumbfounded.

The room was filled with gifts from the carriage that he had just ordered. It was too expensive, and most of them were things that he had never seen before in his life.

Du Shaomu smiled, his father-in-law and mother-in-law knew how to act.

Fine, since I promised to marry someone else's daughter in ten days, then I will think of a way to do so.

"Young master, am I dreaming, is this all real? Also, the people who just killed Su Family will probably be here soon to cause trouble, what should we do? Also, Young master, if you really want to marry that young miss of Castellan of Fengling City's house, our family is so poor, we won't even have a place to stay. If Eldest Miss marries, would you not reject our family?"

Du Xiaohou had lost his mind and everything seemed like a dream. Yesterday, the young master had disappeared and now, he had returned. There were too many things happening.

"I marrying her is her fortune and good fortune. Remember, no one in this world will ever dare to despise our Du Family again!"

Du Shaomu smacked Du Xiaohou on the head.

"What a great change for him to have the upper hand …"

Listening to Du Shaomu's tone, Du Xiaohou mumbled to himself, "Marrying Castellan of Fengling City, the daughter of a marquis, and calling it someone else's fortune, isn't this tone too much?"

"By the way, please remind me that we can't afford to stay here any longer. Tomorrow, you can find the largest and best courtyard in the city and buy it."

Du Shaomu didn't hear Du Xiaohou's mutterings. On the contrary, Du Xiaohou had just reminded him that regardless of marrying Lee Ling'er ten days later, it was time for them to change to a better place to live so that his mother could live more comfortably.

"Young master, you're not having a fever, are you?"

Du Xiaohou wondered if the young master had a fever and went to buy a yard tomorrow. He said with a sad face," "If you can sell me a yard, I'll sell myself to make the young master's life more comfortable, but my life is so bad that even if you sell me, it won't be worth much. What are you going to use to buy a yard?"

"What's there to worry about? Isn't it just the money for buying the yard?"

Wu Tie rolled his eyes at Du Xiaohou and looked at the sky. "It's not dark yet. Get some pen and paper. I need to write something down so you can come with me."

Du Xiaohou didn't know what the Young Master was going to do, but he immediately prepared a simple paper and pen.

Du Xiaohou had been following beside his wife all these years, so he was smart and knew a lot of words. Looking at the herbs written by the young master, he was a little curious. When did the young master know the names of so many herbs?

"Send these two letters to the Tian Family and Bai Family, definitely ask them to hand it over to the patriarchs of the Tian Family and Bai Family. Tell them that if they want to destroy Su Family, they should bring more money to Du Family tomorrow morning. This is their only chance, so there's no need to say anything else."

Du Shaomu wrote a total of two letters. After giving a few instructions, he handed them to Du Xiaohou.

"The Tian Family and Bai Family, break the Su Family, and have them bring more money to the Du Family tomorrow morning. Young Master, do you want me to be beaten to death?"

The corner of Du Xiaohou's eyes could not help but twitch. If these words were to be said to the Bai Family and the Tian Clan, he would probably be directly beaten to death by the Bai Family and the Tian Clan members.

The Tian Family, Bai Family, and Su Family were the three great families of North Cloud City.

The Tian Family and the Bai Family followed closely behind.

Just one letter, and I will bring more money to Du Family tomorrow morning. Don't tell me that the people from Bai Family and the Tian Family are idiots.

"It's fine if you go, what are you blabbering about!"

Du Shaomu shook his hand, and said: "That's right, in ten days, young master wants to marry Castellan of Fengling City's daughter. You should notify everyone about this news, and I want to let the entire North Cloud City know as soon as possible."

"Young master, I know. If I don't come back, you'll have to take good care of my wife. Xiaohou won't be able to take care of you."

Du Xiaohou had a sullen look on his face. He felt that he wouldn't be able to come back once he went to Bai Family or the Tian Family messenger was beaten to death.

"If you have the guts, go ahead."

Helpless, Du Shaomu kicked Du Xiaohou's butt and kicked him out.

At dusk, Du Xiaohou turned around and looked at the broken Du Family courtyard. He always felt that he was a brave man who could not return once he went there. He gritted his teeth and mustered up his courage, then left.

The door was surrounded by many neighbors, and had not left yet. When they saw Du Xiaohou come out, they immediately surrounded him, and started talking at the same time about who exactly those strong beings were and if there were any relatives from Du Family.

Du Xiaohou recalled the young master's words and spread the news out.

"..."

As soon as night fell, Jiang Rou arranged for the housekeeper, Xiao Lan, to stay with her at night. Then, she personally cooked quite a lot of food and sent it outside to Liu Tong and the others, inviting Liu Tong and the others to squeeze into the yard. After all, it was cold outside at night.

Liu Tong and the rest were all cultivators, so not to mention Liu Tong, who was already a martial general, he would be fine even if he was hungry for half a month.

Cultivators who reach a set number of cultivation could even isolate five grains.

Even if he was a cultivation warrior, it was fine if he did not eat it for a few days.

However, it was hard to refuse such kindness. Liu Tong and the others took the food Jiang Rou gave them, but did not go in.

As far as they were concerned, the cool night air was of no harm to their bodies.

When night fell, Jiang Rou walked into Du Shaomu's small room.

Looking at her son, Jiang Rou still felt as if she was in a dream. She didn't believe that her son was really going to marry Castellan of Fengling City's daughter in ten days.

"Mu Er, you said that Castellan of Fengling City's daughter, the daughter of a rich family, really married into a rich family? Our family doesn't even have a place to live, and our mother has already sold this courtyard. Furthermore, Mother still has some money on her, so we'll have to borrow some money from the neighbors and buy a clean set of courtyard. At any rate, we should get them to marry a girl and live here.

Jiang Rou was so worried that she forgot that she originally wanted to leave the North Cloud City. She only thought that right now, in this crappy courtyard, there would be no place to live even if her wife married her. She felt extremely guilty.

"Mother, you don't have to worry about that. Tomorrow, your son will go buy a large courtyard so your mother can live comfortably." Du Shaomu reassured his mother.
