Because of Nangong Shu's relationship, Nangong Mo's atmosphere at the door seemed a little cold and weird. However, Nangong Mo didn't care, and accompanied Nangong Huai to talk for a while, and then took Wei Junmo back to Jichang Garden. Now although there is no owner in Jichang Garden, there are still people who clean and tidy up every day, and it is much quieter when you walk in, but it is no different from when you were at home.

Although it is not the first time that Wei Junmo has come to Jichang Garden, it is the first time to carefully look at this garden. Even he had to admit that the Jingjiang County Mansion was not as good as the garden of the Chu State Mansion, and the small Shuyun Courtyard was even more incomparable. hugged Nangong Mo and said softly: I have wronged you.

Nangong Mo was stunned for a moment, and said with some puzzlement: What strange words did you say?

In the future, I will definitely build you a better garden than Jichang Garden.

Nangong Mo suddenly smiled and said: Although this garden is good, but... Nothing special to me, it's just... My mother lived here all the time. A good place is naturally liked by everyone, but Nangong Mo didn't like Jichang Garden to the point where he had to live. In other words, it is naturally best to live well, but if there is no condition, Miss Nangong will not pick the ground.

Wei Junmo said: So... What kind of garden does Flawless like?

Nangong Mo thought about it seriously and said: I don't like gardens, no matter how beautiful they are, they are surrounded by a small wall or something. I like it... Uh, I like peach blossoms, ten miles of peach forest. Build a small courtyard in the depths of the peach forest, and wait until the peach blossoms bloom... Isn't it very much like Peach Blossom Spring? Well, it would be better if the peach blossoms could bloom all year round. Occasionally, Miss Nangong still has some unrealistic fantasies. For example, Peach Blossom Island, for example, Huang... Ahem...

It's good to be flawless and like, I remember.

Nangong Mo smiled faintly, she was just talking casually, and she didn't really take it to heart.

When Nangong Xu came in, he saw a pair of beautiful people walking hand in hand under the faint sunlight, and the beautiful woman looked up with a smile from time to time to talk to the man, although the man's expression was cold, but the eyes that looked at the woman were gentle and focused.

Eldest brother? Sensing that Nangong Xu was standing at the door, the two stopped, and Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows.

Nangong Xu stepped forward and looked at Nangong Modao: It looks like you're doing well.

Nangong Mo pursed his lips and said with a faint smile: Thank you for your concern, I'm fine.

Nangong Xu glanced at Wei Junmo and said: There are some things I want to say to Mo'er, can the prince avoid it? Wei Junmo looked at Nangong Mo, and Nangong Mo nodded with a smile. Wei Junmo raised his hand and touched her hair, and said, "I'll go talk to Chu Guogong first."

Nangong Mo nodded and saw him go, only then did he look back at Nangong Xu and said: If the eldest brother has anything to say, just say it.

Nangong Xu looked at her in a daze, and only after a long time sighed a little bitterly and asked, "Mo'er, do you hate big brother?"

Nangong Mo was stunned and didn't speak for a long time. Nangong Xu sighed softly and said: That's it, no matter what you think of your eldest brother, my brother just wants to ask you for something. Nangong Mo looked at him calmly, and Nangong Xu said: For so many years, I have never understood you. But. These days know that I don't need to worry about you anymore. It's just that if there is anything to happen to Hui'er in the future, please help him for the sake of the brother and sister. Compared with Nangong Huai and Nangong Hui, Nangong Xu obviously saw it more clearly. He had already seen that Nangong Mo looked at the eyes of everyone in the Nangong family, and there was no family affection between flesh and blood.

Nangong Mo frowned, looked at Nangong Xu and said, "Big brother, what are you going to do?" Nangong Xu smiled indifferently and waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing. He didn't expect this sister to agree in one bite, but in the future, if Hui'er had something that didn't endanger her safety, he just hoped that she would be able to lend a hand. What's more, it may not really be that time.

Does Mo'er know her father's plans? Nangong Mo shook her head, she really didn't know what Nangong Huai had planned. However, it is impossible for the huge Chu State Mansion to be without a hostess, since Nangong Huai has made up his mind to abolish the Zheng family, it must not be long before the Chu State Mansion will be ready to welcome a new hostess. If so... In the future, it will be troublesome for the new lady to have another child. After all, Nangong Huai's age is not too old now.

Nangong Xu was obviously not worried about this problem, but said with a smile: I am a little curious, who will my father's new wife be.

Nangong Mo shook her head, she was not interested in this. Nangong Xudao: Mo'er must remember that no matter who his father marries... In the future, they will stay away from the Duke of Chu and that person.

Nangong Mo said calmly: No matter who my father marries, he is our stepmother. No matter who Nangong Huai wants to marry, it has nothing to do with her, a married daughter, and at least the other party is a stepfamily who has married a legitimate person, and her mother has passed away for so many years, so she can't be more pleasing to the eye than Zheng. It's just that Nangong Xu's cousin seems to be more disgusted with this yet-to-be-known stepwife than Zheng's. Is it really because he is worried about threatening his position in the Duke of Chu?

In any case, the eldest brother is the eldest son of the Duke of Chu. Nangong Mo comforted.

Nangong Xu raised her eyebrows, Mo'er thought I was worried about this? Feel relieved... I haven't given birth to a son and a half daughter in my father's backyard for so many years, can I give birth to a new one when I marry at the door?

This sentence... That's a little bit more informative. However, what Nangong Xu said is indeed right, no one in the entire Chu State Mansion has had children since Nangong Shu was born. Needless to say, the Meng family has been sick all year round, and the Zheng family's pet has not moved for so many years, and as for the concubines in the backyard, there has never been any news.

Nangong Xu sighed and said: Back then... I sent you to Danyang, and the eldest brother is also sorry. If it's not true... Mo'er, do you believe that the people who harmed Danyang in the first place were committed by the Zheng family?

Nangong Mo's expression was slightly gloomy, and he said lightly: What clues does the eldest brother have?

Nangong Xu shook his head and said: Clues... Not yet, but soon. However, Mo'er, remember, these things have nothing to do with you. Danyang's matter, the eldest brother will naturally give you an explanation. Nangong Mo frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Big brother, it's not a good thing to carry everything alone. The second brother has also grown up, can you still protect him for the rest of your life? In the past few months, Nangong Mo can naturally see it. Nangong Xu was scheming, even she couldn't guess what he was calculating. But Nangong Hui, who grew up with Nangong Xu since he was a child, is rare and upright. This is naturally due to Nangong Hui's natural character, and it is also due to Nangong Xu's deliberate avoidance of those selfish things.

Nangong Xu was silent for a long time, and said lightly: Mother wants me to take good care of you before she dies. Pity...... Nangong Xu shook his head and didn't get up to say goodbye at all. In the end, he just instructed Nangong Mo to return to the Duke of Chu less if he had nothing to do in the future.

Looking at Nangong Xu's distant back, Nangong Mo's heart was also a little mixed for a while. In fact, when Meng passed away, Nangong Xu was just a thirteen-year-old teenager, and Nangong Xu was only sixteen years old when Nangong Qian was sent away. At this age, in his previous life, he was still a middle school student who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun and asked his parents for money. Even in Great Xia, when a man is twenty and crowned, he is still a young man who has not reached adulthood. Nangong Mo believes that Nangong Xu didn't say a word and let her be sent to Danyang not because he gave up this sister. Maybe it's just because he thinks it's safer outside than inside Jinling City, so... Who would threaten Nangong Tian's safety? Is it the same person who sold her into the bandits' den in Danyang?

After lunch, Nangong Mo and Wei Junmo got up and left the Duke Mansion of Chu State and returned to the Jingjiang County Palace. After returning to the door, Wei Junmo's marriage leave was also used up and he was ready to start on duty. Although the position of the commander of the Jingwei is relatively free, and he does not have to go to work every day like some small yamen, it is not easy.

In the Mansion of the Duke of Chu, Nangong Xu sat in the study and leaned on a chair to close his eyes and recuperate. A man in gray pushed the door in and said respectfully: Childe, the eldest lady and Wei Shizi have gone back. Nangong Xu opened his eyes and nodded slightly and asked, "Where is my father?" The man in gray hesitated for a moment and said, "Grandpa is out."

Out of the house? Nangong Xu sat up and said lightly: As soon as Mo'er left with his front foot, he went out with his back foot?

The man in gray looked up at him a little strangely, although it was the eldest lady returning to the door today, but there was no rule that no one was allowed to go out on the day of return. As long as the eldest lady returns to the door, isn't the grandfather there? Maybe... What's the matter with Grandpa?

Where did it go.

The man in gray said respectfully: It seems that he went out of the city to Zhuangzi outside the city.

Nangong Xu was silent for a moment, nodded and said: Got it, let's go, go see Mrs. Zheng.

The black prison of the Duke of Chu is in a small courtyard in the most remote corner of the northwest of the mansion. Because it's too remote, this yard is usually not inhabited, but there are some firewood, silver charcoal, and the like for the backyard to use. In the early years, it was heavily guarded, but over the years it has gradually been abandoned, and naturally there is no one guarding it. Now that the Zheng family is locked up here, there are only two people guarding the gate of the courtyard, and there are people guarding the entrance of the dungeon.

Seeing Nangong Xu, the people guarding the door hurriedly stepped forward to salute and saw the eldest son.

Nangong Xu nodded slightly and said, "I'll come and see Madame."

The guard was a little embarrassed and said: "Prince, the lord has an order not to allow anyone to see the Zheng family."

Nangong Xu's face sank, no matter what, the Zheng family was originally the head of the Chu State Mansion, although she made a mistake, but it was unbearable to suffer in such a place. I'll send some food to Mrs. Zheng, say a few more words and leave. Looking at the guard's hesitant appearance, Nangong Xu said: Now Madame is locked up here, but... Who knows if she'll be released.

In the end, the Zheng family has been favored in the mansion for more than ten years, and the guards think that what Nangong Xu said is also in the end, not to mention that the eldest prince is not something they can offend casually if they want to. Finally gave in and let Nangong Xu in.

The dungeon is built underground, which is naturally dark and damp. In addition, it has not been used for many years, and as soon as I enter the door, a strange smell of cold and mildew comes to my face. Nangong Xu frowned, waved off the guards, and walked into the dungeon with only the gray-clothed man holding the food box. The dungeon was silent, even the footsteps seemed to echo the silence. There were only two cells, inside and outside, and Zheng was locked up in the inner one. A small oil lamp in the room flickered with a candle the size of a bean, as if it would go out at any moment. There were many brown marks on the surrounding walls, and the perpetrator had been such a cruel place many years ago.

Zheng had only been locked up for a few days, and obviously couldn't get used to such an environment. A man shrunk in the grass and shivered, and when he heard the slightest movement, he immediately came out, threw himself on the railing of the cage and shouted, "Let me out!" Let me out!

Nangong Xu stood at the door, calmly looking at the pale and panicked woman in front of her. Zheng was obviously stunned when she saw Nangong Xu, she didn't expect Nangong Xu to come here, you... How did you end up here? Nangong Xudao: Naturally, I came to visit my wife, how are my wife okay these days?

Zheng stretched out his hand to grab the hem of his clothes a little frantically, and shouted: Let me out! I was wronged, I didn't do those things, I didn't... I didn't harm Nangong Mo!

Nangong Xu sneered in a low voice: Wronged? Who would believe Madame when she said this? 'M afraid... There are many things that even Madame herself can't remember if you did it, right? Zheng glared at her hatefully and said: I didn't let people sell Nangong Mo's girl! The incident at the Great Light Temple... Those people aren't my people either! Someone is calculating me!

Unfortunately, my father didn't believe it.

Zheng finally calmed down a little, and saw that Nangong Xu was not here to save her. Leaned on the railing and sat down slowly, gritted his teeth and said: In that case, what is the eldest prince doing here? Nangong Xu raised his eyebrows and said: I just came to tell Mrs. Sù, my father, probably about to marry a stepfamily. The Duke of Chu is about to have a righteous lady, when the time comes, what do you think of you, madam?

Zheng Shi stared at Nangong Xu vigilantly, of course she wouldn't think that Nangong Xu was here just to tell her the news. Although the news that Nangong Huai was going to marry her stepfamily made her feel bitter and hateful, the environment she was in now made her even more powerless. Nangong Xu continued: Today is the day when Mo'er returns to the door, and Shu'er is also back. Originally, I wanted to beg my father to let Mrs. go, but unfortunately my father refused without hesitation, poor Shu'er... I almost had a miscarriage, and I heard... I'm afraid she won't be able to keep this baby.

Shu'er has it?! Zheng was first overjoyed, then deeper, panicked. Even Nangong Huai, who had Shu'er and the eldest grandson of the emperor, refused to let her out, obviously not ready to let her out again. I want her to live in this dark dungeon forever, without enough food and clothing... Zheng shivered and looked at the man in front of him in fear, what do you want to say.

Nangong Xu asked: Does Madame still want to go out?

Zheng's eyes lit up, and he stared at Nangong Xudao: What conditions do you have? No... Why are you helping me? Don't you hate me as much as Nangong Hui's little cub?

Nangong Xu said indifferently: Didn't you say... Does Mo'er's business have nothing to do with you?

Do you believe me?

Nangong Xudao: It doesn't matter if I believe it or not, the key is that Madame can come up with any bargaining chips that are worthy of my help you.

Zheng looked at the man in front of him with a somewhat complicated expression, and said: All these years, you have really been pretending to be stupid. In fact, it's not pretending to be stupid, Nangong Xu has never been stupid, it's just that he is actually smarter than he appears, what do you want?

Nangong Xudao: Madame over the years... How did you get your father to tolerate you so much? Zheng's background is low, except for his good looks, he has a little scheming, and he doesn't have anything outstanding in itself. But the women in Jinling City who are more beautiful than the Zheng family and more scheming than the Zheng family have grabbed more than half of them, how come it is that the Zheng family has made Nangong Huai alone for more than ten years. Nangong Xu has long seen it over the years that Nangong Huai's favor for the Zheng family always carries a complex taste of tolerance. not only allowed the Zheng family to do whatever they wanted in the mansion, but also guarded against the Zheng family, whether it was Nangong Huai's private property or Meng's dowry, the big-headed Zheng family had never been able to touch it.

I don't know what you're talking about! Zheng's face changed, and he gritted his teeth.

Nangong Xu lowered his eyes and said lightly: Madame, let's think about it carefully. In fact... The person my father likes isn't Mrs. at all, right?

Zheng's face turned pale, and he leaned against the railing and was silent for a long time. Nangong Xu said lightly: Father doesn't allow anyone to come near this courtyard, so... I'm afraid I won't get another chance to come in. If Madame insists on saying nothing, then I will retire first. Presumably, in the future, except for the dumb servants who came to deliver food, I will be regarded as the last person my wife has ever seen in her life.

What the hell do you know?! Zheng Shi seemed to be a little unable to stand it, and gritted his teeth tightly on the railing.

Nangong Xu was silent, and after a while, he heard Zheng's strange smile: That's right... The person the lord likes is not me. But... I don't know who it is! Since I came back with my master, I have rarely left Jinling City over the years, except for one visit to Danyang a few months ago. So, if you want to ask who robbed the master with Madame, I don't know. Ha ha... Your mother has been high all her life, but unfortunately she doesn't know who the woman who really robbed her husband is for the time being. Pity... I don't know...... Maybe the woman was already dead. Zheng knew that Nangong Huai had someone in his heart, but he never found any clues. Nangong Huairuo is leisurely with the woman outside, and it is impossible for her, the closest person, not to know. So Zheng can only guess that the woman is dead.

Nangong Xu raised his eyes and looked at her lightly and said, "Isn't Madam curious, who wants to harm Mo'er and want to frame you?"

What do you want to say?

Nangong Xudao: It's nothing, if Madam thinks clearly, you might as well give me what you have in your hand. Zheng hesitated, shook his head, and said, "I don't know what you're talking about." Nangong Xudao: Since my father doesn't like you, he has been tolerating you for so many years, naturally because you have some great handle in your hand. Isn't it?

You... Do you want to take credit for this district? Still is... You hate the master?! Zheng was a little shocked, looking at Nangong Xu's cold face, she intuitively felt that it was the latter.

This has nothing to do with Madame. Nangong Xu said lightly: Madame only needs to sue me, you can give it or not.

Aren't you afraid that I will sue Nangong Huai?

Do you think your father will come to see you? In the past few days, my father has found out a lot about what Mrs. has done in recent years... I'm afraid he won't want to see you in the future.

Zheng was silent, Nangong Huai had never come to see her since she was imprisoned. Nangong Xu said lightly: Even if Madam doesn't want anything else, she should think about Shu'er.

Speaking of Nangong Shu, a trace of worry flashed in Zheng's eyes. This daughter has no scheming, but she is still competitive, and now she is pregnant again, how can she not worry. Zheng stood up, gritted his teeth and said: Let me out! Let me out and I'll give it to you! A hint of ridicule flashed in Nangong Xu's eyes, if I let you out now, will it be okay to wait until my father comes back?

So how do you want it? Zheng asked.

Nangong Xudao: If you give me the things first, there will naturally be a day when you will be able to escape.

Why should I believe you? Zheng said.

Nangong Xu took his hand and said lightly: Because you can only believe me, this is also the only chip in your hand that can still be exchanged, isn't it? This time, the Zheng family was silent for a longer time, and finally spit out a place name, looked at Nangong Xu and said: Since you dare to come to me, you must not be afraid that I will tell Master Sù about this.

Nangong Xu said lightly: You might as well give it a try, even if something happens to me... Madam, Mo'er is always the sister of my mother, and she is also the princess of Jingjiang County. Avenge her brother, for example... It doesn't take much effort to deal with a concubine of Yue County, right? Just in case, when Mo'er got married, I gave her the inheritance that my mother left me.

Zheng couldn't help but tremble, knowing that Nangong Xu was blocking all his roads, he gritted his teeth and said: Don't worry, I won't sue Master Sù. If he is unkind, don't blame me for being unjust! It's just that I didn't expect... It turned out, hehe, presumably the lord himself didn't expect that the eldest son, who had always been silent and obedient, would have such a thought.

Nangong Mo didn't care what she said, turned around and said, "I brought some food, if Madam is hungry, use some." By the way, if something is wrong ... Next time, maybe I'll bring in the piece of meat from Shu'er's stomach and give it to Madame.

Zheng gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "A good son born by Meng!

Nangong Xu turned around, took one last look at her and said, "Madame, do you know why you haven't been able to give birth to a boy and a girl for so many years?"

Zheng was stunned, and suddenly raised his head to look at Nangong Xu. Nangong Xu's expression was flat, but his eyes seemed to be very distant, and he said lightly: Don't be so shocked. It's not just you, my father will never have another child in his life. Zheng gritted his teeth and said: Is it Madame?!

Suddenly thinking of that beautiful and indifferent noble woman, Zheng was a little difficult to accept for a while. She hadn't actually seen Meng Shi many times, but each of those few times seemed to be under heavy pressure, and each time she remembered it deeply. She even felt that she understood a little bit why Nangong Huai didn't like a beautiful woman like Meng's, facing such a woman was not only a woman, but also a man was afraid that there would be pressure, not to mention that Nangong Huai was from a poor background like her.

Some of the images that had faded from my memory suddenly became clear. That was the first time she entered the door, and she followed Nangong Huai back from the battlefield once, and she was a few months pregnant. She knelt on the ground, and Meng didn't even look at him. Instead, he took the tea sent by the girl next to him and delivered it to Nangong Huai's hands with his own hands. The hands were slender and slender, white as jade, and beautiful as a peerless treasure carefully carved by the tightest and most delicate jade carver. That was the last time Meng had a pleasant face to Nangong, and from then on they were strangers to husband and wife.

It turned out that the most ruthless person was the woman.

Nangong Huai came back with a pregnant woman, and the woman has since cut off the possibility of Nangong Huai's birth of all children. At that time, she remembered that the doctor had already diagnosed that she was pregnant with a girl.

Nangong Xu didn't say anything more, turned around and walked out. The man in gray placed a food box in front of the cage and followed. The footsteps faded away, and after a while, the entire cell became silent. Zheng hesitated for a moment and opened it, and it contained all her favorite meals. Although it was a little cold, I couldn't help but swallow my saliva. Zheng didn't want to eat what Nangong Xu sent, but she was really hungry. In the past ten years, she has long been unable to tolerate the rough food in the cell. In the first two days, she lost her temper and threw away the food, but no one made it up for her, and even after finding out that the master didn't have the idea of letting her out, the food in the past two days has become worse and worse.

Although Zheng was hungry, he was not in a hurry to eat. She didn't fully trust Nangong Xu, not in the past, and not now. Pick out a few of each meal and throw it in a corner of the dungeon, and in a few moments rats and cockroaches crawl over it. It wasn't until he saw that the rats and cockroaches that ate the food were safe and sound, that Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly opened the food box, took out the food, and devoured it. In the dark cell, only the occasional sound of chopsticks hitting and swallowing food can be heard.
