www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!

Xuanpinghou’s family left, and Su Qingping never returned to the wedding banquet. However, no one cared about these subtle changes, let alone disturbed the progress of the wedding banquet... until the guests dispersed one by one. , the busy day finally came to an end.

Back at Mozhuyuan, Nangong Yue finished washing under Yimei's service. Not long after, Baihui and Lily came back.

"How are the notes and clothes handled?" Nangong Yue's first question was not how the situation in Jingzheju was, but whether Baihui and Lily had done a good job in dealing with the aftermath.

"Don't worry, Miss Three!" Lily spoke quickly and answered first with a smile, "Our forged note and the men's suit Baihui just wore have been burned, and the ashes have been disposed of by us! Even if Even if the number one **** in the capital comes here to catch you, he will definitely find nothing!" She said in an exaggerated tone on purpose.

Baihui rolled her eyes at her and said calmly: "Third girl, everything has been taken care of. Even if someone comes to investigate and finds something, they will never associate it with us."

"How's it going over there?" Nangong Yue's face remained calm and she asked calmly.

Bai Hui and Lily looked at each other and smiled. They recited the scene to Nangong Yue word by word, laughing coquettishly from time to time, with a hint of cunning in their eyes.

At the end, Baihui added another sentence. "...The wedding date of Miss Su Biao and Prince Lu has been set for one month later!"

Nangong Yue is not surprised. After all, the Nangong family and the Xuanping Marquis Mansion have been discussing marriage. If they break up and cancel the marriage because of today's events, it will make others suspicious and will not be conducive to the two families covering up this scandal. .

What's more, the Su family wants to cling to the Xuanpinghou Mansion, and the Xuanping Mansion is already troubled by Lu Yan's renewal.

After all this time, it’s impossible to think about this marriage!

There was a smile in Nangong Yue's eyes. It couldn't be easier to kill someone. It's just a little poison, a knife, and a blink of an eye. It's rare for her to live in pain and torture for the rest of her life. , unable to escape!

Now, Su Qingping has lost her virginity before she gets married. She would have been looked down upon by her husband's family. However, she married into a prominent family like Xuanping Houfu. She is extremely capable and has This scandal would make it difficult for her to raise her head in her husband's house for the rest of her life.

Besides, with such a bad-character husband, Su Qingping is destined to not live a good life even without the guidance of her elders!

Have you not seen how the previous wife of Xuanping Hou Shizi died?

Although Su Qingping still has some beauty, Nangong Yue does not believe that her charm can be so great that someone like Lu Heng can change his nature and treat her like a treasure.

Thinking of the "good" life Su Qingping might have after marrying into the Xuanping Hou Mansion, Nangong Yue felt very happy. The debt Su Qingping owed in her previous life must be repaid tenfold in this life!

The heartstrings that had been tense all day finally relaxed at this moment. After letting Lily and Baihui retreat, Nangong Yue sat in front of the piano stand, and the mellow piano music slipped from her fingertips...

The song "Fishing Boat Evening Sing" is melodious and free. After finishing the song, Nangong Yue showed a relieved smile.

When things have developed to this point, Su Qingping has no other choice...

In her previous life, when she was young and ignorant, she only saw her father betraying her mother and taking a concubine, but she never thought that her father was caught up in someone else's conspiracy; she felt that her father was cold to her, but she never thought that maybe her stepmother Su Qing Ping played tricks on it...

In this life, she finally understood that her father clearly didn't care about Su Qingping at all, so Su Qingping was able to resort to such despicable and despicable methods as love potions, even taking advantage of her mother!

Father and mother have a deep love for each other. If it weren't for the evildoers, they would definitely grow old together!

Nangong Yue’s mind couldn’t help but recall the last time she saw her father in her previous life. At that time, Han Lingfu, who had just ascended the throne, had ordered all the people in her Nangong Mansion to be raided. She secretly went to the Heavenly Prison to see her father for the last time, and was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. The father in prison is much older. He is clearly in his prime, but his temples are gray and his body is stooped...

That time, they didn't speak at all, but they were speechless when they met.

In the end, she just left silently...

Thinking of this, Nangong Yue couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken, and even regretted that she had always been very cold to her father in her previous life... The relationship between father and daughter was never repaired until their death! Fortunately, she still has a chance to make amends in this life!

I finally changed Su Qingping’s fate, which was equivalent to changing the fate of my father and mother...

Thinking of this, Nangong Yue curled her lips slightly, no longer afraid of the upcoming ups and downs!

After the song was played, Yimei, who was standing outside, knocked on her door and said, "Third girl, Ruyi is here."

Nangong Yue was not surprised. She stroked the strings with her hands and said casually: "Let her in."

After a while, Ruyi, led by Baihui and Lily, walked into Nangong Yue's study and knelt down on the cold hard ground with a plop.

Kneeling on the ground, Ruyi's heart was tormented like a fire. Looking at Nangong Yue's calm eyes, her body could not help but tremble.

"Ruyi, has my mother treated you poorly over the years?" Nangong Yue asked calmly, but there was a frightening chill in her voice.

"To answer Third Miss, the Second Madam has always been very kind to this slave over the years and has not treated me poorly." Ruyi replied in a trembling voice, her pounding heartbeat seeming to echo in her ears.

"If that's the case, why would you do such a thing again?"

In an instant, Nangong Yue's eyes became as cold as ice and as sharp as arrows.

"Yes, it's my fault. I'm the one who dared to die." Ruyi kowtowed vigorously, "This is all my fault. Please forgive me, Miss Three, and spare my mother-in-law." Now, Ruyi just wants not to harm her family. As for her own life, the third girl can take it if she wants.

"Spare your mother, then why have you never thought of sparing my mother?" Nangong Yue's eyes surged with anger, and the aura around him surged, sweeping towards Ruyi overwhelmingly. "You are such a slutty maid who betrays your master, you are so brave, you dare to poison the second lady!"

Ruyi could hardly breathe, and her jade-like face turned pale in the moonlight.

"Third Miss, this slave did not poison the Second Madam!" Ruyi's body shook like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, "When the cousin gave the medicine to the slave, she said that the medicine would only make people energetic. If you don't continue, there will be no harm to the body. The slave is worried, and secretly gave some to the cat in the kitchen to eat. Only when he was sure it was not poison did he dare to put it into the second lady's tea. The cousin said that as long as the slave does it After this happens, when she enters the door in the future, she will carry the slave to be the second master's wife. The slave is obsessed with it for a moment, so she does such wrong things! But the slave has no intention of harming the second lady! Third girl, Please trust me, slave!"

Nangong Yue was silent for a long time, her heart filled with ups and downs.

Ruyi was reluctant to get married. It turned out that it was not that she disliked the man her mother chose for her, but that she fell in love with her own father... But Su Qingping actually saw Ruyi's intention and made love with her. Such a disgusting deal!

Nangong Yue felt that her previous judgment was correct. Ruyi's "suicide by hanging" in her previous life was definitely not true, but was inseparable from Su Qingping's "murder and silence". Although this slave who betrayed his master did not deserve sympathy, Nangong Yue could not help but lament that Su Qingping was indeed cruel and ruthless!

Nangong Yue’s eyes full of disgust fell on Ruyi again. How to deal with Ruyi now is also a problem!

If Ruyi disappears like this, Mrs. Lin will definitely become suspicious. A big maid suddenly disappears without a trace, and it is impossible for the house to turn a blind eye! But since she has done such a thing, naturally she cannot continue to stay with Lin.

Ruyi was so cold that she looked at him, but he didn't dare to move.

Finally, Nangong Yue said slowly: "Ruyi, you are not young this year!" Ruyi should have been dragged out to match the boy, but because she refused with excuses, it was delayed.

Ruyi's eyes widened, obviously understanding what Nangong Yue meant. Her face turned pale. She was originally a proud and arrogant person, and she was unwilling to be a slave all her life, so she had the courage to try to get a fortune for herself, but the result was...

"Back to Third Miss, Ruyi... I am seventeen this year!" Ruyi said this sentence quite difficultly, as if he had exhausted all his life's energy.

"You are not young anymore. Since you and Miss Su Biao get along so well, how about I help you and let you go to Miss Su Biao's place? What do you think?" Nangong Yue said lightly and skillfully, "Don't worry, I will take good care of your family." She deliberately emphasized the word "take care of", and the intimidation in it was beyond words.

Ruyi was so frightened that she kowtowed three times until her forehead turned blue. She kept saying, "Third Miss, please spare your life! Third Miss, please spare your life!" Since this Miss Su Biao dared to poison the Second Madam, she had such a cruel heart. He is vicious and ruthless, and he is not in a good position to do things now. If the third girl really sends him into the hands of Miss Su Biao, how can he survive?

Now I know how to ask for forgiveness! Nangong Yue sneered in her heart, when Ruyi betrayed her mother, did she ever think that it would end like this! Now this path is her own choice.

With a look from Nangong Yue, Lily and Baihui held Ruyi hostage on the left and right, making her unable to move.

Lily smiled deliberately and said: "Miss Ruyi, if you keep on knocking like this, if you hurt your face, how will you see anyone tomorrow?"

Ruyi knew in his heart that the situation had been decided, and his whole body went limp with dejection.

Since you have been slapped, you must give a candy. A slight smile appeared at the corner of Nangong Yue's lips, and she said: "Ruyi, don't worry, Miss Su Biao doesn't dare to do anything to you. After all, you are also the dowry maid given to her by Nangong Mansion, and she will have to rely on her in the future." Nangong Mansion is supporting her!"

How could Su Qingping be so stupid? If she killed Ruyi in Xuanpinghou Mansion, it would only arouse the suspicion of Nangong Mansion. If she angered the Su family, then she would really have no power in the royal capital. With no one to rely on, he was allowed to be slaughtered by the Xuanping Hou Mansion!

If you think about it carefully, isn't this the truth? There is still a way for me to survive! Even if it doesn't work out, you can still get a aunt Dangdang in Xuanpinghou Mansion. Thinking of this, Ruyi came to life again, bowed her head slightly and said: "Thank you, Miss Three."

Baihui and Lily looked at each other and smiled, loosened their grip on Ruyi, and thought to themselves: The third girl is still capable!

"Go down. Remember what happened today and don't say a word to others, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences." Afterwards, Nangong Yue's voice revealed a trace of murderous intent.

"Yes, I understand!" Ruyi was so frightened that she broke out in cold sweat. She bowed and left Nangong Yue's study. The cool breeze at night made her feel cold to the core.

After arranging Ruyi’s future destination, Nangong Yue finally let go of the worries she had been feeling these days.

At this moment, Nangong Mu and Lin, who were in Qianyun Courtyard, were worried and had mixed emotions.

"Alas! I really don't know what's going on!" Mrs. Lin sighed, "How could a girl who has not yet left the court do such a thing?!"

Nangong Mu also nodded and said: "Originally, the Xuanping Houfu has sent someone to discuss the marriage, but I didn't know that she was so impatient, so... ugh..." Nangong Mu couldn't say the unpleasant words, so he could only sigh. ending. He never imagined that Su Qingping's plan was originally aimed at him!

"Ms. Gong, do you think that if she does something like this, it will affect the reputation of the house, and it will also affect our sister Yue!" Mrs. Lin said worriedly.

"Ruoyan, you don't have to worry so much!" Nangong Mu comforted him. He had been in the officialdom for a while, and his thoughts were more profound than Lin's. "Not to mention, the government will never let anyone take it. This matter spread outside the palace. As for the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, if they publicize this matter, it will only damage the prince's moral character. If this spreads to the emperor's ears, there will be obstacles in the future for the prince to inherit the title! I'm afraid the Xuanping Hou Mansion wants to cover up this matter more than our Nangong Mansion!"

"I hope so!" Ms. Lin was still worried. "But after all, this kind of thing happened. Even if others don't say it, we know it in our hearts. When I think of something like that happening in Jingzhe Residence, I can't wait to take a detour in the future. . My sister-in-law has thought it through. The girls really need to change their place of study."

"Think about it from another angle. Marrying cousin Ping off as soon as possible may not be a bad thing!" Nangong Mu added, "I originally felt that she had some evil intentions, so it would be better to get rid of her as soon as possible!"

"That's true!" Mrs. Lin nodded in agreement, "If such a person stays in the house and leads Sister Yue to bad things, I won't even have time to cry!"

Nangong Mu nodded Lin's forehead and said in a funny and confident manner: "You are so worried! How could our daughter be led astray so easily!"

The couple talked for a while and then stopped after seeing that it was getting late.

There was no words for the whole night. The next day was the day when the new wife of the fourth house recognized her family. It should have been extremely festive, but the atmosphere in Rongan Hall seemed a little deserted.

When Nangong Yue arrived at the main hall with her parents and brothers, everyone in the first and third bedrooms was already there. After a while, Liu's mother and daughter and Su Qingping came.

When Su Qingping stepped into Rong'an Hall, the atmosphere suddenly became even weirder. Both Zhao and Huang couldn't help but feel a little depressed. They really couldn't understand why she was still alive after such a scandal had happened. Face appears here? This Su Qingping is really thick-skinned!

Nangong Yue glanced at Su Qingping quickly and saw that her eyes were dim, her appearance was haggard, weak and pitiful, and she looked completely lost from her former energy.

But no one present would pity Su Qingping. Everyone's eyes were cold, wishing they had not seen this talent.

Su Qingping sat down in her seat without saying a word, with her eyes half lowered, avoiding everyone's sight. She was already on lockdown and didn't want to come to such an occasion at all, but Mrs. Liu still pulled her over out of her own considerations.

Everyone sat there for a while, and Su finally came out. Everyone stood up and saluted Su.

“I’ve met my mother (grandmother)!”

Ms. Su was wearing a lotus-colored gown and a forehead wiper of the same color. Her complexion was very ugly, and even the wrinkles on her face were faintly added. She seemed to have aged several years overnight.

Nangong Yue’s lips curled up slightly, thinking: It seems that because of Su Qingping’s incident, Su didn’t get a good night’s sleep last night!

Su Qingping looked at Su with hope, but when Su's eyes glanced at her, her expression was cold, with only disgust and disdain in her eyes, no pity at all.

Su Qingping suddenly felt as if she had fallen into an ice kiln, her face turned pale. Su Shi is her only support in Nangong Mansion.

A trace of ridicule flashed in Nangong Yue's eyes. At this time, it was really unreasonable for Su Qingping to still expect the Su family to help her.

At this moment, a woman outside the door reported: "Fourth Master, the Fourth Madam is here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door curtain was raised, and a newlywed couple wearing bright red auspicious clothes walked in. It was Nangong Cheng and his newlywed wife Gu.

Mr. Gu's appearance is plain, but her skin is fair. This whiteness hides all three ugliness, and even after wearing a bright red dress, she can be regarded as pretty. But standing next to the handsome Nangong Cheng, she was really inconspicuous.

The maid cleverly placed the nursery mat. Nangong Cheng and Mrs. Gu both knelt down and kowtowed three times to Mrs. Su respectfully. "Greetings, mother!" Then she served tea to Mrs. Su as a salute.

Mrs. Su took the tea cup, took a symbolic sip of tea, put it aside, and said kindly: "Get up quickly!" Then she took away Mrs. Gu's filial shoes and socks, praised her a few times, and said With a few words like asking Mrs. Gu to do a good job for the Nangong family, she asked Grandma Wang to give a pair of jade Ruyi.

"Thank you, mother!" Mrs. Gu took Yu Ruyi respectfully and handed it to the maid beside her.

Next, Nangong Cheng introduced three eldest brothers and three sisters-in-law to the Gu family.

"Uncle, sister-in-law..."

Ms. Gu curtsied, addressed each of them, and handed over the needle and thread she had made. Ms. Zhao, Ms. Lin and Ms. Huang said some words of blessing to the newlyweds, and each gave them a greeting gift. Ms. Zhao gave a blue As for the water-floating jade bracelet, Mrs. Lin gave her a carp white jade bracelet, while Mr. Huang gave her a bunch of emerald gold pearls.

Following them, Nangong Yue and several other juniors greeted Gu: "Fourth Aunt!"

After Nangong Cheng introduced them one by one, Mrs. Gu gave gifts one by one: the young men of the Nangong family received a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and the girls of the Nangong family each received a pair of crystal earrings.

Nangong Yue looked at the crystal earrings given by her fourth aunt in her hand. They were neither good nor bad, leaving little impression. In her memory, her fourth aunt was just like the earrings she gave her. What a deep impression it left on her mind.

In the previous life, after the fourth aunt married, the romantic nature of the fourth uncle Nangong Cheng still did not change at all, and even got worse.

When the fourth aunt came in, Mrs. Su was afraid that Nangong Cheng would bring out the eldest son before they got married, which would ruin the reputation of the Nangong family, so she gave him a few words of advice from time to time. But after the fourth aunt came in, Mrs. Su never said anything again. How did you manage the affairs of the fourth room?

However, this fourth aunt has an ordinary appearance and a very dull personality. She is obviously a serious legitimate wife, but she is squeezed out by Nangong Chengna’s aunts and wives and has almost no place to stand. Even Nangong Chengna’s The personal maid can also say a few sarcastic words to the fourth lady.

Up until the time when the Nangong Mansion was confiscated in the previous life, the fourth aunt Gu had only one weak legitimate daughter. Instead, she raised a lot of concubines and concubines for Nangong Cheng. I don’t know whether she is virtuous or incompetent.

At this time, a newlywed couple had arrived at Su Qingping's side.

"This is Cousin Ping." Nangong Cheng introduced her while looking at Su Qingping absentmindedly.

"Cousin Ping." Mrs. Gu sent the needle and thread again.

No matter how disgusted she felt, Su Qingping still had to accept Gu's gift.

"Many thanks to Fourth Cousin. The craftsmanship of Fourth Cousin is indeed exquisite. This sachet is embroidered lifelike. If there is a chance, Ping'er will definitely ask Fourth Cousin for advice." Su Qingping's face was pale, but she was polite. He didn’t want to embarrass himself in front of everyone, especially in front of Nangong Cheng’s new wife.

Ms. Gu smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Cousin Ping, for the compliment."

As for Nangong Cheng, who was standing next to Gu, his whole soul was pinned on Su Qingping at the moment, as if he had completely forgotten about the new lady.

Nangong Cheng got married yesterday. Naturally, no one would spoil his happiness on this big day. Therefore, Nangong Cheng still didn't know half of the scandals that happened to Su Qingping at the wedding banquet yesterday.

Now, seeing Su Qingping looking so haggard because of Yi, Nangong Cheng thought she was like this just for him, and couldn't help but feel a little sad and a little complacent. .

My cousin said last time that they had nothing to do with each other. She was really just angry! Nangong Cheng thought: Could it be that she was worried that I would delay the marriage for her? Oh, what a silly girl. Now that I am married, her affection for me has not diminished at all. Why don't I go and ask my aunt for help? Even if she can't be the first wife, as long as I pamper her, how much worse is she than the first wife?

Nangong Cheng stared deeply at Su Qingping. Su Qingping seemed to feel something in her heart. She raised her head inadvertently, and her eyes looked directly at Nangong Cheng. Resentment and affection were half revealed, and for a moment, Nangong Cheng was so crazy looking at him.

The two of them flirted with each other in public, but Nangong Cheng's newly married wife was like a puppet on the ridge, her eyebrows lowered and her eyes submissive, saying nothing.

After acknowledging their relationship, Nangong Yue came out of Rongan Hall and looked back, only to see Su Qingping's thin back walking away in another direction, while Nangong Cheng was still staring at her affectionately. .

Nangong Yue couldn't help but smile.

"Sister, what are you looking at?" Nangong Xin asked her curiously.

"I'm looking at the scenery!" Nangong Yueyun replied calmly, "Brother, don't you think the scenery there is very good?"

"Is there any?" Monk Nangong Xin Zhang Er scratched his head, "There is obviously only Fourth Uncle there!"

Because they were not far apart, Nangong Cheng also heard the conversation between the two, and looked away in embarrassment.

Nangong Cheng opened the paper fan in his hand covertly, shook it gracefully, and smiled at Nangong Yue as if nothing had happened, but he saw Nangong Yue staring at him meaningfully.

As if he had been spied on the deepest secret in his heart, Nangong Cheng withdrew his gaze with a guilty conscience, and left without even looking back at his new wife.

After Nangong Yue said goodbye to her parents and brothers, she went to Yaoyueju - after the scandal that happened in Jingzheju yesterday, it was natural that Jingzheju could no longer be used as a boudoir, so the Zhao family sent people to clean it up overnight. Well, I invite Yueju to be my new girlfriend’s school.

Before she stepped through the courtyard gate, Nangong Yue heard Nangong Lin's whirring sound.

"Sister, what happened last night? Just tell me! You all know it, so you kept me in the dark." Nangong Lin's voice was a little indignant. She was at the wedding banquet yesterday She already knew something big had happened, so after the wedding banquet, she followed Huang to Lanshan Courtyard. However, no matter how much she pestered her or asked, Huang refused to answer and just said vaguely, "The child's home" There is no need to know so much.

Later, she asked anxiously, and Huang scolded her directly, which made Nangong Lin feel aggrieved and wanted to know more and more what happened last night.

"I...fourth sister, I really don't know what happened!"

As soon as Nangong Yue stepped through the door, she saw Nangong Cheng's blushing cheeks and twinkling eyes.

"Eldest sister, please stop telling lies!" Nangong Lin was obviously furious, almost forgetting that Nangong Cheng was the eldest sister, "First you sent Shuxiang to call aunt away last night, and then grandma It’s also gone. It’s obviously for the same thing. How could you not know?”

The more she spoke, the angrier she became, stamping her feet and saying, "You all know, why can't you tell me?" She felt angry and aggrieved in her heart, she just felt that they were both daughters of the Nangong family, why did they only She's excluded!

"Fourth sister, it's better that you don't know about this." Nangong Cheng sighed, "Knowing... will do you no good." She, a girl who has not yet left the government, has no face to talk about this kind of scandal. exit!

Nangong Lin was reluctant: "No good? Then there should be no harm."

Nangong Cheng's expression turned ugly, and she looked for help at Nangong Yue, who had just entered the door.

Following Nangong Cheng's gaze, Nangong Lin also saw Nangong Yue. She rolled her eyes and said mysteriously: "Third sister, do you know? A big event happened at the fourth uncle's wedding banquet yesterday..." As she said that, she looked at Nangong Yue expectantly, hoping that Nangong Yue could reveal something.

Nangong Yue said calmly: "If the fourth sister wants to know, she should ask the third aunt."

One and both refused to tell themselves. Nangong Lin was so angry that she was about to start a fight, but when she saw her husband Fang Ru came, she had to temporarily stop her activities.

After school, Nangong Lin knew that she could not get any results from these two people. Without saying a word, she snorted coldly and left angrily.

Seeing Nangong Lin's performance, Nangong Cheng smiled bitterly: "Third sister, I would rather I didn't know what happened yesterday. This thing is really..." She sighed, not knowing what to say.

"Think on the bright side!" Nangong Yue comforted her and said, "She will leave the cabinet in a month. If we are not under the same roof in the future, the chances of meeting her will probably be very few." This "She" of course refers to Su Qingping.

"I hope so." Nangong Cheng forced a smile. This kind of thing happened in the house, which was really a big blow to her who had always been arrogant and untainted.

Seeing her look like this, Nangong Yue knew that she must not have thought about it, so she added: "Her surname is Su, and our surname is Nangong. Sister, don't think too much! She has no connection with us in the first place!"

"Yes." Nangong Cheng smiled bitterly. Perhaps because she had the same experience as yesterday, she felt that she had the same secret with Nangong Yue, and she couldn't help but become closer to her.

The two of them walked and chatted until they reached a fork in the road before they parted ways.

As soon as she returned to Mozhu Courtyard, Nangong Yue saw her father's maid playing the piano waiting in the courtyard.

"Third Miss!" Nongqin bowed respectfully, "The Second Master ordered me to invite the girl to the study to meet her."

Nangong Yue's heart skipped a beat. Her first feeling was that her father must have discovered something was wrong with what happened last night, and her father would never be as easy to fool around as her mother, Lin!

But Nangong Yue had to go. If she didn't go, wouldn't it be more suspicious?

Nangong Yue sighed without any trace, and said in an unobtrusive manner: "Nong Qin, I'll go change my clothes and let you go." Nong Qin naturally had no objection, and Nangong Yue was under the service of Yimei and An Niang. , slowly changed his clothes, and then went to play the piano.

Although it delayed a lot of time, even so, she still couldn't figure out a way to deal with it.

How should I tell my father?

Nangong Yue frowned slightly, her heart was still in a state of confusion. This was a complete lie. Nangong Mu Dingran didn’t believe it...

While thinking, Nangong Yue had already arrived at the door of her father's study.

Nangong Mu's other first-class maid, Ming Se, had already entered the study to report to Nangong Mu when she saw Nangong Yue coming, so Nangong Yue was immediately introduced to the study.

Nangong Yue bent her knees slightly and shouted: "Daddy!"

"Sister Yue, come in and sit down." Nangong Mu, who was sitting on the Arhat bed by the window, waved Nangong Yue over. The father and daughter sat down across a small table, and followed Nangong Mu as if he was worried about scaring his daughter. Same, he asked in a soft tone, "Sister Yue, how much do you know about last night?"

Although Nangong Mu was fooled by Nangong Yue for a while yesterday, as time passed, he still noticed something was wrong. Ruyi took him to the east wing to find Mrs. Lin, but Mrs. Lin was not there, and then even Ruyi disappeared... Then, the appearance of his daughter Nangong Yue was even more weird...

Sure enough... Nangong Yue had a lot of thoughts in her heart. She looked embarrassed and finally made a decision in her heart.

I can’t hide it any longer!

She took a deep breath and said, "Dad, mother is poisoned!"

This sentence was like a huge thunder falling on the head of Nangong Mu, shocking him and blurting out: "What?" Nangong Mu originally thought that although this matter was weird, it was not a big deal. . But now that he heard that Lin was poisoned, Nangong Mu couldn't sit still.

Seeing Nangong Mu Ru being struck by lightning, with a pale face, Nangong Yue quickly added: "But don't worry, dad, I have already prescribed a prescription for my mother. I believe that as long as she takes it for a few more days, her poison will be gone." It can be completely resolved."

Nangong Mu's expression softened slightly, but it was still very ugly, and he kept saying: "What on earth is going on? Sister Yue, please tell me clearly!"

"...A few days ago, my mother was a little depressed. I checked her pulse and found that she was poisoned!" Nangong Yue said slowly, carefully arranging her words, "I'm afraid of my mother. My parents were worried, so I didn’t tell her, and I didn’t dare to tell my father, so I secretly investigated on my own and found out that it was Cousin Ping who bribed Ruyi from my mother’s room to poison her!”

When Nangong Mu blurted out and wanted to ask Su Qingping why she did this, he suddenly remembered the scene at his daughter Nangong Yue’s birthday party, his expression suddenly became strange, and he murmured to himself: "...I see. That's it. So..."

Nangong Mu has long felt that Su Qingping, his cousin, has some evil intentions, and usually avoids her whenever possible, but he never expected that Su Qingping would be so vicious!

Nangong Mu's eyebrows were tinged with stern expression. Although he usually had no temper, just like a dragon has reverse scales, Nangong Mu also had reverse scales that he could not touch. And Mrs. Lin and his children are his rivals.

"It's so heartbreaking!"

Nangong Mu clenched his hands into fists, suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked, "Where's Ruyi? I don't seem to have seen her this morning." Su Qingping is certainly hateful, but this slave who betrays his master is even more so. Can't stay!

"Dad, regarding this wishful thinking, my daughter has something to ask for." Nangong Yue had an idea in her mind. Maybe asking dad to come forward is the simplest and most direct way.

Nangong Mu frowned slightly and said disapprovingly: "Sister Yue, don't you want to plead for Ruyi?"

"Not really." Nangong Yue's lips curled up slightly and she said, "I just want to ask dad to find a way for Ruyi to be Cousin Ping's dowry maid."

Nangong Mu was stunned for a moment, and understood the genius of this proposal. He tapped Nangong Yue's forehead with his index finger and said with a smile: "You girl! Okay, daddy will let you get what you wish for!"

"Thank you, dad!" Nangong Yue stood up deliberately and pretended to be blessed, making Nangong Mu smile.

"You girl, don't even think about changing the subject." Nangong Mu straightened his face and asked, "Then what? What happened in the east wing last night? Your mother has never been to the east wing at all, right? ”

"Dad, I really don't know what happened last night!" Nangong Yue opened her **** and white eyes and said innocently, "Last night at the wedding banquet, Baihui told me, dad You were called away by Ruyi. I felt very uneasy, so I wanted to follow you over to have a look, and then I found that Ruyi had brought you into the east wing. I must have called out, and Ruyi was scared away... As for Cousin Ping He Lu, Prince Lu..." Nangong Yue deliberately made a embarrassed expression, and muttered with a red face, "I don't know what's going on with them..." The lies were mixed with the truth, and nine truths and one lie were used. There will be no suspicion.

Nangong Mu pondered for a while and felt that what Nangong Yue said was indeed reasonable. The scandal that happened in Jingzhe Juli was basically caused by Su Qingping's own indiscretion. How could it be related to his sister Yue!

Seeing that Nangong Mu's expression softened a little, Nangong Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, she heard Nangong Mu say again: "Sister Yue, although you are smart, you are only eleven years old now!"

Nangong Mu looked at Nangong Yue with a complicated look, which she couldn't understand.

"What did daddy say? Why can't I understand it well?" Nangong Yue's heart thumped, but she still tried to remain calm on her face. Anyway, she would never admit to anything about Su Qingping and Lu Yan!

"You are just an eleven-year-old child, you don't have to shoulder so many things on yourself. Your parents will always stand behind you, and you can always ask your dad for help at any time!" Nangong Mu is not a person who exposes his emotions. However, Nangong Yue's temperament did make him a little worried. Being able to hide such a big thing from one person, Nangong Mu was really worried that her Huiji would be hurt.

Nangong Yue's heart relaxed, a smile broke out on her face, she nodded vigorously, and said in a brisk tone, "Yueer understands!"

Nangong Mu touched Nangong Yue's head tenderly. Since his daughter grew up, he has rarely done such an intimate gesture. His voice became a little softer and said: "...Okay, you Go back and do your homework, and come to Qianyunyuan for dinner with your brother in the evening."

"Yes, Dad. Yue'er resigned."

Nangong Yue saluted and left the study, leaving Nangong Mu looking at her retreating back with complicated eyes, a little proud and a little sad.

Nangong Yue, who had her back to Nangong Mu, suddenly felt something cold on her face. When she touched her face, she found that her cheeks were moist.

Unknowingly, she had burst into tears.

It's not that she doesn't want to reveal her inner feelings to others, but it's just that she is burdened with too much.

And you can’t tell anyone at all!

But it's all worth it!

Nangong Yue's vision became firm. No matter what, she would keep Nangong Mansion and her home in the future storm of the royal capital.

Not only Nangong Yue, but Nangong Mu was also thinking a lot at this time.

He was born as the legitimate son of the Nangong Mansion. Because he was the second son, unlike his eldest brother who needed to inherit the family business, his parents had only pampered him since he was a child. They did not ask for too much and just allowed him to do as he pleased.

He has always taken this kind of life for granted, and has not paid much attention to fame, fortune, and wealth. Therefore, after he was appointed as an official, he did not get along with his colleagues, although they were not enemies, and they did not have much good friendship. He only cared about his own clear conscience. .

But just now, his daughter, who had just turned eleven, did not even dare to tell anyone that her mother was poisoned, and she had to bear everything by herself.

Who is to blame?

Of course it is his father who is to blame!

Nangong Mu's heart was as sharp as a knife. He had always been proud of his noble and self-restrained integrity, but at this moment, Nangong Mu didn't want to continue like this. He wants to establish a firm foothold in the officialdom. Only in this way can he make people no longer dare to take the attention of his wife and children.

Having made up his mind, Nangong Mu’s eyes became bright and determined.

Nangong Yue never imagined that her father, who had never changed his ambitions in his previous life until his death, would actually change at this moment.

What the future will look like has become even more unpredictable...

At this time, in the city of Yangzhou thousands of miles away, Guan Yubai, dressed in white, was sitting by the window. He looked down at the book in his hand for a while, and then looked at the center of the river and the lonely boat outside the window. His face was as gentle as Jade, but her eyes are cold and distant.

"Pulu, pulu..." A white pigeon flapped its wings and flew past the window, attracting Guan Yubai's eyes. He counted silently in his heart: "One, two..."

As soon as he counted to "three", he saw Xiao Si striding towards the houseboat with an expressionless face, "Master, just now..." He suddenly stopped, looking at Guan Yu's white and thin single clothes, frowning, that dissatisfaction His expression seemed to say: Master, how could you be wearing such thin clothes and blowing in the air!

Guan Yubai chuckled helplessly and said, "Xiaosi, get me a cloak."

Then Xiaosi's expression softened slightly, he took out a cloak from the closet, wrapped it tightly around Guan Yubai, and said dullly: "Master, Xiaosi made a promise with Miss Nangong." Promise. I will definitely take good care of the young master’s body!

When he heard "Miss Nangong", Guan Yu's white eyes flashed, and a warmth seemed to appear on his face, but he immediately changed the subject as if nothing had happened: "Xiao Si, did a carrier pigeon come just now? ”

"Yes, sir." Xiao Si handed Guan Yubai a piece of bamboo tube just removed from the carrier pigeon, "This is a letter from Huaibei."

It turns out it's not her... Guan Yubai lowered his eyes slightly, hiding the disappointment in his eyes, then opened the lid of one end of the bamboo tube, took out a piece of white paper folded into long and thin strips from the bamboo tube, and unfolded it , read it at a glance...

At this look, there was a hint of solemnity in the usually gentle expression.

The situation in Huaibei is so dangerous!

This summer, there is a drought in Huaibei, and there is no harvest. People are all eating jujubes, and starvation is everywhere!

The imperial court naturally allocated taels of silver for disaster relief, but it was a pity that after these tens of thousands of taels of snowflake silver had been exploited at all levels, there was not much left.

Now Huaibei has reached a tragic situation where people are exchanging their children for food. A large number of refugees are pouring out of Huaibei... I am afraid that these things are still covered up tightly. The person in the Jinluan Palace thought that Zhongyuan was under his command. It’s a time of peace and prosperity!

Guan Yubai shook his head slightly, and was about to put down the paper in his hand, but suddenly thought of another thing, and clasped his knuckles on the table.

Now most of the refugees are heading north, and I am afraid they will reach the royal capital in a few days...

Damn it! This letter from Huaibei came too late!

Guan Yubai's face darkened, and he ordered: "Xiaosi, I'll take care of you with pen and ink!" He must write a letter to the capital as soon as possible to warn her...
