Early in the morning, Wei Junmo went out on duty, and Nangong Mo said good night to Princess Changping as usual and went back to his Shuyun Courtyard to stay. No one restricts her freedom to go out, but as a daughter-in-law who has just passed the door, it is obvious that even if she has this freedom, she will not have this time. Many places in Shuyun Courtyard need to be rectified, and the industry that Wei Junmo just sent to her needs to be sorted out. Things in the future also need to be planned, and it is really difficult for Nangong Mo to imagine what it is like to be a wealthy lady in a decent manner. What's more, there is nothing in the Jingjiang County Mansion that needs to be taken care of by her.

In the study, Zhishu Mingqin and Mama Lan, as well as Yang Zhong, the steward of Shuyun Academy, and Mama Lu, another steward, all stood respectfully in front of her and listened to her instructions. The two grandmothers beside the princess returned to the princess's courtyard to wait on the day they returned. Now standing in front of her is the main candidate who can be used by her Shuyun Academy in the future. Yang Zhong and Mama Lu are both carefully selected by the princess, and Mama Lan has grown up with the Meng family since she was a child, not to mention that Zhishu and Mingqin have also been training with Mama Lan's right-hand man who has been by Mama Lan's side. There are only a few other big girls who are not capable enough, and they can only be used as ordinary personal girls for the time being.

Nangong Mo flipped through the account books on the table, raised his eyes and looked at Yang Zhong and said: In the future, things outside Shuyun Courtyard will bother Yang to manage things. Yang Zhong hurriedly said respectfully: Obey the orders of the princess. Nangong Mo nodded and said: The people below will be handed over to Mama Lu to manage, if there is anything inappropriate, Mama just say. Especially those who want to eat inside and out......

Mama Lu hurriedly said: Please rest assured, the old slave will take care of these people.

Nangong Mo nodded, looked at Mama Lan with a smile and said, "Mama, you are used to taking care of the account room. You are still in charge of the account in my room. Mama Lan nodded and smiled: Yes, princess.

Although it is a fat poor person to manage the account, and it is more trusted by the master, Yang Zhong and Mama Lu are both smart people, and they also know that it is impossible for the princess to let go of the big grandma she has seen since she was a child, but to trust and reuse herself who is not familiar with it at all, and there is no grievance in her heart. It's just that the two of them don't know that there is another reason why Nangong Mo let Mama Lan take care of the accounts, how much property Nangong Mo has in his hands, I'm afraid that not many people can guess clearly. And Nangong Mo didn't keep all of these in his hands, but instead stacked out a large part of them to do other things. If she let someone else take care of the accounts, she will naturally find that the property she holds is too different from what she expected. It's not convenient for her to do whatever she wants to do anymore. Although these people were all given by Princess Changping, Nangong Mo couldn't fully trust them now.

Nangong Mo nodded and said: That's all, let's step aside. By the way, we have a small kitchen in Shuyun Courtyard, and we can directly bring back the monthly expenses in the future, and you can fire in Shuyun Courtyard. If it's not enough, Mama Lu and Mama Lan will discuss it.

Mama Lan nodded and smiled: Miss rest assured. Mama Lan grew up in the living family since she was a child, and naturally knows that even if there are many greasy meals in the large kitchen of the family, generally some masters have a small kitchen in their own yard, but the cost of this small kitchen needs to be responsible for themselves. They are not short of money, so they are naturally reluctant to be wronged by their young lady.

Nangong Mo nodded and watched the three of them retreat. Nangong Mo Youcai stretched out his hand and handed the two account books in front of him to Zhishu and Mingqin behind him: These are the account books of the shops left by my mother in the early years, you should learn to take a look at it first. Zhishu Mingqin is all happy, their individual girls are different, Mama Lan has asked to look at the account book. But it's still different when you study and when you actually look at it. The princess asked them to see this, obviously asking them to start helping to take care of the property in their hands. With these experiences by the side of the princess, not to mention that in the future, let alone the age to point out to those stewards who help the young lady take care of the industry, even if the master is gracious to give the deed of sale, it is unknown to marry some poor petty officials and become officials' wives. This is much more promising than those who serve as concubines in Israel. Their status is that they can only be concubines and concubines, is it possible that there is still that prince and grandson who is willing to marry them as a side room?

Even if it's a side room, what about it?

Slave Miss Xie mentions! The two looked at each other in surprise and thanked each other in unison.

Nangong Mo smiled faintly: Get up. There are many places around me that need to employ people, and it only depends on whether you are loyal or not. She is actually not a person who trusts others easily, and she is not as trustworthy as the few girls she brought back from Danyang. But even if they believe in Mama Lan's personality, they are also valued by Mama Lan and trained by her, and she has been observing them for so long before deciding to really use these two people. The people she wants to use must not only have the ability, but also be able to make her trust. Nangong Mo can be regarded as having a good way to control his subordinates, so the people around him are quite peaceful. But she doesn't mind giving them some chance to make mistakes once in a while, although some people say that trust can't resist doubt and temptation, but... There is no trust in this world for no reason.

Yes, Miss!

The princess of Qiyu, the second young lady and the third young lady are here. Outside the door, Hui Xue said respectfully.

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and said, "Why are they here?" Let them in.

Yes, princess.

After a while, the Shen family and the Xue family followed Hui Xue together. Nangong Mo doesn't like to go out, and he doesn't like to deal with people in the Jingjiang County Palace, and he is not very familiar with these two concubines. The last time we met was also on the first day of the wedding, and I didn't look at these two people except for a few glances during the ceremony. At this time, both of them are ten years old. The Shen family is slender and gentle, while the Xue family looks much plumper in comparison. With thick eyebrows and big eyes, compared to Shen's fair complexion, it also looked a little darker. A woman with such a look should have a dignified appearance, but there was a faint resentment and anger between Xue's eyebrows, which made people unconsciously want to stay away from her.

I heard that Wei Junze's relationship with his wife is very bad, and it must be one of the reasons why she looks like this.

I've seen my sister-in-law. The two stepped forward and bowed to Nangong Mo Yingying.

Nangong Mo got up with a smile and said: Why are the two younger siblings here? Please come and do it. The three of them moved to the flower hall outside the study and sat down, and soon a girl sent a good tea. Xue Shi looked at the elegant and generous furnishings carved by Yishui'er rosewood, and then looked at the few girls standing beside Nangong Mo and at the door, and couldn't help but sigh: Sister-in-law is really a blessing, look at these furniture... And so many pretty girls...

Shen glanced at Xue angrily, it was strange for her to say good words like this. I don't know, I think they are jealous of the princess's wealth. But I don't know that wealth is one aspect, the important thing is that the Xue family has an unhappy marriage, and almost all the good-looking girls in Wei Junze's yard have something to do with Wei Junze. Therefore, what the Xue family is most tired of are those beautiful girls. It's just that the girls around Nangong Mo are counted as one, and they really don't look bad. Nangong Mo and Princess Changping have similar thoughts, if a man wants to change his mind, even if you replace all the girls in the yard with ugly monsters, won't he go outside to hunt wild food?

The sister-in-law is really virtuous, and the eldest brother can be regarded as blessed. Xue smiled and said.

Zhishu and Mingqin and other girls are a little ugly, and even the newcomers Shuangyue and Qingyu's faces are also a little pale.

Nangong Mo lowered his eyes, calmly took a sip of tea and said with a faint smile: The words of the third brother and sister are true, raising a few beautiful girls by your side is also eye-catching, isn't the son of the world blessed with eyes?

Who doesn't know about this Jingjiang County Palace, less than a month after the Xue family passed the door, the four wedding girls were enjoyed by Wei Junze. The Xue family almost went crazy, and from then on, the girl in Wei Junze's yard was either old or ugly. But even so what? Wei Junze also brought the woman back from outside for three days and two days. If it is calculated, I am afraid that the backyard of several men in the entire Jingjiang County Mansion is not as large as Wei Junze alone. Listening to Nangong Mo's words, Xue's face showed a trace of embarrassment and annoyance, but he had to smile wryly.

Nangong Mo raised his eyes and looked at Shen, who was still able to communicate, and asked, "The two younger siblings are visiting, but what's the matter?"

Shen said: It's not a big deal, it's just that the old lady and the side concubine are sick, so they instructed me and my third siblings to take care of the trivial things in the house. We thought we should come and talk to the princess and ask the princess for advice. Nangong Mo waved his hand and smiled: Then it's hard work, I just entered the door, and I don't know what is going on in this house, so I won't mix it blindly. What's more, this Shuyun Courtyard has not been inhabited for more than ten years, and I have a lot of things to do here.

Nangong Mo realized the intention of the two of them, this is to test whether she really has no intention of interfering in the affairs of the house. There is also probably a desire to sue her that the old lady and Concubine Feng were angry with her. Nangong Mo has the title of county lord, which is not much lower than the old concubine. Although she is a granddaughter-in-law, she doesn't have to go to ask for peace every day. Therefore, Nangong Mo really didn't know that the old lady and Concubine Feng were sick. I just don't know if it's a real illness or a fake illness.

Hearing her say this, both the Shen and Xue clans secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This is the rightful princess, if she wants to meddle in the affairs of the house, their two younger daughters-in-law can't stop it. What's more, thinking of the appearance of this old lady when they dealt with the old lady that day, the two of them felt that it was better not to be an enemy of this princess. Though... They had been standing in the opposite side since the beginning.

Shen said with a smile: In this way, we won't trouble the sister-in-law, if there is something missing in Shuyun Courtyard, the sister-in-law will send someone to inform the younger siblings, and the younger siblings will send it.

Nangong Mo nodded in thanks, but looked at Shen twice. Although the relationship between Wei Junmo and Wei Junbo has not yet reached the point of tearing their faces, clear-eyed people can also see that the relationship is stiff. This second young lady was able to come to talk to her so kindly and kindly, which shows that she is indeed not a straw bag.

chatted with Shen for a while, during which Xue said a few sour words, but no one cared. When the two Shen were about to say goodbye, Steward Yang hurriedly came in outside the door to say goodbye to the princess...... Glancing at the Shen and Xue clans sitting on the side, Steward Yang swallowed back the words in his mouth.

Shen immediately stood up with a smile and said, "Sister-in-law has something, let's go back first."

But Xue refused to be so knowledgeable, twisted his body and ignored Shen's hand, and smiled: Sister-in-law, what's the matter, can't we know? Maybe we can help.

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and said: Steward Yang, if there is anything to say, it is.

Yang Zhong hesitated for a moment and then picked out his words, and said: Back to the princess, the Duke of Chu came up to tell you that Mrs. Zheng had passed away, and asked the princess to go back.

Nangong Moxiu's eyebrows frowned slightly, even if the Zheng family had been the home of the Duke of Chu for more than ten years, it was just a concubine in Nangong Mo's eyes. It is impossible for Nangong Huai not to know her attitude, even if the Zheng family is really dead, it is unlikely that she will be allowed to go back, at most it is just a notification. But nowadays... Then it can only be said that Zheng's death is not ordinary, and she must go back.

When they heard that it was a funeral, both Shen and Xue were stunned. Xue Shi felt a little unlucky, covered his lips and smiled: Yo, it turns out that there is a white matter in the Mansion of Chu State. Then the younger siblings won't bother.

Shen hesitated for a moment, looked at Nangong Mo and said: Sister-in-law has just gotten married, in fact, it's nothing if she doesn't go back. After all, it's not my mother, and no one dares to say anything if I can't go back.

Nangong Mo nodded and said with a light smile: Thank you brother and sister for reminding me.

Without sending the two out, Nangong Mo put away his smile and looked at Yang Zhong and said: What happened?

Steward Yang said: Back to the princess, the second prince of the Duke of Chu ordered someone to come to tell him, saying that someone found Mrs. Zheng dead in the dungeon of the Duke of Chu early this morning. It looks like he was poisoned, and the eldest prince was the last person Zheng saw before he died. So......

So, my dad suspects that the eldest brother poisoned the Zheng family?! Nangong Mo asked.

Steward Yang was silent, obviously this is what he meant. After hesitating for a moment, Steward Yang asked: "Princess, this is... Do you want to tell the princess and the prince? Nangong Mo got up and said: You go and tell your mother, and then let someone inform the son. I'll take someone back first. I felt that something was wrong with Nangong Xu before, but I didn't expect Nangong Xu to dare to poison the Zheng family directly. But... It is still unknown whether it was Nangong Xu's hand or was framed.

Yes, princess. The prince had already instructed that the princess couldn't stop her from going anywhere, and whatever the princess said was the same as what the princess herself said, so Steward Yang wouldn't question anything, but just retreated respectfully.

As soon as he entered the Mansion of the Duke of Chu, he saw that Nangong Mo did not go to see Nangong Huai, and went directly to Nangong Xu's Liqin Academy.

As soon as he entered, he heard that the Lin family was crying in the hall, and Nangong Hui was also standing at the door in a daze with a sad face. Seeing Nangong Mo coming in, Nangong Hui's eyes lit up and hurriedly said: Mo'er, you are finally back! Before the words fell, I felt that a figure flashed around me, and the Lin clan had already rushed out and rushed in the direction of Nangong Mo.

Nangong Mo frowned, and turned sideways to avoid the Lin clan who rushed over. Lin almost fell into the yard, couldn't help but be stunned and couldn't care much, Lin cried and said: Sister, please save your husband... Whining...

That's enough! Nangong Mo said in a deep voice.

Lin's voice paused, and soon he cried again. Nangong Mo couldn't help but raise his hand and rub his eyebrows, and instructed the people around him: Please ask the young lady to rest first. Nangong Hui was also dizzy by Lin's crying, and waved his hand to the subordinates of the Liqin Academy: Please go down and rest.

A few girls rushed up and pulled Lin down with a whimper.

The two entered the hall and sat down, and Nangong Mo asked, "Second brother, what's going on?" Where is Big Brother now?

Nangong Hui smiled a little helplessly: The eldest brother is locked in the study, but... No one is allowed to see anyone without his father's permission. Today at noon... The lunch delivery man found Zheng dead in the dungeon. I heard that the dungeon is delivered once a day, and when I delivered the meal yesterday, I found that Zheng was lying in the haystack and didn't care, and when I delivered it again today, I found that Zheng was still lying on yesterday's meal and didn't move. Only then did it feel wrong, and let people go in to check and find that Zheng had been dead for more than a day. After the meal was delivered the day before yesterday, it is said that only the eldest brother had seen the Zheng family, and the eldest brother sent a lot of food to the Zheng family, and the Zheng family also ate it. Now my father is looking for a doctor to check on him.

Looking for a doctor and a doctor? What if it is found to be really poisonous? Nangong Mo asked.

Nangong Hui looked at Nangong Mo silently. Nangong Huai's behavior was well known to both of them, but they were afraid that he had no intention of appeasing Nangong Xu.

I'm going to see Big Brother. Nangong Mo got up and said.

Nangong Hui also got up and said, "Father personally sent someone to guard it, and they won't let you in." As soon as the matter came out, he wanted to go in and see his eldest brother. But no matter what he said, those people refused to let them go. Nangong Modao: Just take a look. As soon as the two of them left the hall door and didn't walk towards Nangong Xu's study, they saw Nangong Huai hurriedly walking with someone. Seeing Nangong Mo's face sank, he said in a deep voice: Who asked you to come back?! What does it look like to run to your parents' house just after getting married? Obviously, Nangong Mo's return was just a unilateral call from Nangong Hui, and Nangong Huai didn't know.

Following Nangong Huai was Nangong Shu, whose eyes were red, who was pinching her handkerchief and glaring at them with resentment.

Nangong Mo said lightly: Something happened to the eldest brother, shouldn't I, as a younger sister, come back and take a look.

Nangong Huai snorted coldly and said: It's good to take a look! I also want to see what that son of a scumbag has in his heart! Nangong Mo frowned slightly and did not answer. Nangong Huaidao: Since they are all here, let's go in. Go and bring that son of a. Nangong Mo and Nangong Hui glanced at each other, and silently followed Nangong Huai back to the hall.

In the hall, Nangong Shu leaned on the chair and cried with her stomach that she couldn't see at all, and the girl from the Yuejun Mansion next to her was comforting her softly. It's just that the more she comforted Nangong Shu, the more sad she cried, and the more resentful her eyes glared at Nangong Mo and Nangong Hui. Nangong Huai gave her a headache from crying, and said in a deep voice: Okay! What are you crying for? Nangong Shu choked for a moment and said with tears in her eyes: My mother was killed, can't I even cry as a daughter? Whining... Father, you must be the master of your mother's affairs.

Enough is enough! Nangong Huai was obviously a little upset and said impatiently.

After a while, Nangong Xu walked in under the escort of two guards. He fell to the ground as the eldest prince of the Duke of Chu, not to mention that the crime was undecided, and he was only locked in the study and not allowed to go out, but he did not suffer anything.

Nangong Huai stared at him coldly and said sharply: Son! You are guilty!

Nangong Xu raised his eyes, glanced at Nangong Huai and said: The child doesn't know what crime he has committed, please show his father.

Still pretending to be confused! Did you go to see Zheng the day before yesterday? I have strictly ordered that no one should visit the Zheng family, why don't you listen? Nangong Huaidao. Nangong Xu was not afraid, and said calmly: I heard about many evil deeds of the Zheng family, and I couldn't accept it for a while, and I wanted to ask more clearly. But my father put people in the dungeon early, and never gave an explanation to everyone. The child had to ask for his own questions.

After you went there, Zheng ate the food you sent and died, how do you explain it? Nangong Huai stared at him tightly and said.

Nangong Xu asked: I didn't poison the food, may I ask my father, Zheng died of poisoning? Although Zheng has a deep grudge with our brother and sister, she has been imprisoned in the dungeon by her father and cannot see the light of day, so why should I poison her? Nangong Xu was asked, and Nangong Xu said: If the father doesn't believe it, he can ask the doctor from the Tai Hospital to come to test the drug, or ask the official of Dali Temple to come to investigate the case.

Nangong Huai was silent, of course it was impossible for the government to know about such a thing at home. Regardless of whether Nangong Xu was wronged or really killed the Zheng family, it is always bad for this kind of thing to be heard. But looking at Nangong Xu's upright appearance, Nangong Huai also had a little more doubts in his heart, could it be... Really didn't he do it?

Master, Dr. Wang and Dr. Zhang asked to see each other outside the door.

Nangong Huai nodded and said, "Please let them in."

A gray-haired old doctor in his fifties and a middle-aged doctor walked in and greeted Nangong Huai. Nangong Huai nodded and let the two of them get up, and asked: The two of you have checked, but there is any problem. The two doctors glanced at each other, hesitated for a moment before saying: Back to Grandpa's words, that... Madame really doesn't look like she died of poisoning. No poison was found in the remaining meals in the cell.

Nangong Huai's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: In this case, how did that person die?

The gray-haired doctor stroked his beard and said, "This... I'm afraid that the lady is only afraid that it is... Caused by eating too quickly and eating too much.

How so?

The lady's life before must have been extremely precious, and then she suddenly starved for days and was in itself empty and fragile. After that, I suddenly ate a lot of big fish and meat at once, and there were too many of them... If you can... If you dissect the corpse, you may be able to find out what the lady has eaten. But now...... The doctor shook his head and said, and after speaking, he shook his head and sighed again and again: Overeating is not the way to maintain health.

Nangong Huaidao: So... People die because they eat too much? Nangong Huai didn't quite believe in this result.

The two doctors nodded and said, so to speak. At least that's what they seemed, no poisoning, no external injuries. But the belly is bulging... I don't know how much I ate.

That's impossible! Nangong Shu screamed: You must have killed my mother! Dad, you want to avenge your mother, it must be them, they killed your mother! The two doctors hurriedly lowered their heads, they didn't know what the identity of that woman was, but now they realized that it was the lady of the Duke of Chu. This is really a big deal, and the old doctor swallowed back the rest of the speculation and doubts in his heart.

Shut up! Nangong Huai said angrily, I have worked hard for the two doctors, please ask the two doctors to go out and receive the reward.

Thank you, Grandpa. The two doctors hurriedly thanked Dade for leaving, and who knows what earth-shattering secrets they will hear if they stay.

Nangong Mo said lightly: Since it has been proven that it has nothing to do with the eldest brother, can my father let the eldest brother go!

No way! Nangong Shu gritted her teeth and said: Who said that it could be proved that it has nothing to do with him? Even if he wasn't poisoned, it doesn't prove that he didn't kill his mother in other ways. Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and looked at her, oh? What method? Second sister, let's hear it? I heard that Mrs. Wan died in the haystack in the corner of the cell. There should be a cage in a cell, right? How did the eldest brother get over the cage and kill her?

Nangong Shu is not a smart person in the first place, where can she answer? It's just that he insisted that it was Nangong Xu who killed the Zheng family.

Nangong Huai stared at Nangong Xu, who was kneeling in the hall, and asked: Zheng's death, really has nothing to do with you?

Nangong Huai is a famous general who came out of the troubled times, and when he really stares at a person, the momentum honed from the bloody wind is also extraordinary. Nangong Mo once felt such coercion, but Nangong Mo's identity has a peculiar origin, even if this kind of coercion gives her a faint pressure, it is nothing, at least it is far inferior to the one in the palace. But Nangong Xu is different, Nangong Xu is a young man who has not experienced much of a war or even a court dispute, such pressure can be imagined.

Under the heavy pressure of Nangong Huai, Nangong Xu's expression was calm, but his face was a little pale. Tightly clutched his teeth and said in a deep voice: Back to my father, no!

In that case, what did you say to Zheng?

Nangong Xu lowered his eyes and said slowly: The child just asked about the year... Mo'er and the child were injured. Zheng and Zheng did not admit it, but only said that they were wronged. But the evidence of the crime was conclusive, and the child was angry for a moment and scolded her a few words... Throw the food box on the ground and leave......

She didn't say anything else? Nangong Huai asked.

Nangong Xu's back was soaked with sweat, but he didn't see it much in his dark clothes. Nangong Mo sat close, but he clearly saw the fine sweat on his forehead sliding down his neck and into the collar. Nangong Xu gritted his teeth and said: She said... Father will let her out......

There was silence in the hall for a long time, and Nangong Huai finally slowly removed his eyes and said, "You get up."

Nangong Xu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and almost fell to the ground. But he still stood up and thanked his father.

------Off topic------

Hehe, it's sauce purple. But... Is Zheng really dying?
