Since Niu Chong had already left, Yue naturally had no reason to stay, so he hurriedly saluted and immediately chased Niu Chong out.

The housekeeper led the two of them all the way through a long corridor into the back garden, Niu Zhong deliberately led the housekeeper to gossip, but Yue was engrossed in scanning the arrangements and guards along the way.

But along the way, she found that this prefect was not as big as she imagined, and she couldn't see anything particularly suspicious.

Luo Minxing is a smart person, so naturally he won't understand the truth that wealth is not exposed, but his rich family wealth must have a place to put it.

Silver?

Wouldn't that be tantamount to telling others that he couldn't let go of Luo Minxing's wealthy family?

He shouldn't be that stupid.

Could it be that there is still some mystery hidden in this house?

"Has the housekeeper seen my father lately? How is his old man's health? ”

"Niu Zhixian, you can rest assured, Uncle Niu lives in the green garden in the west, and there are special people to take care of him day and night, eat well and sleep soundly, nothing happens at all."

"What the housekeeper said is that I also told Niu Xiao that it is impossible for Lord Zhizhou to treat his father badly. But how many times have I told her this, she still doesn't feel at ease, and she has to come and see it for herself before she stops. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, isn't this a piece of filial piety of the cow girl. It's still the old man's good fortune, although the place in Moxian is a little bitter, but it is also the blessing of the old man to have a filial child like Niu Zhixian and Niu Girl. ”

"Listening to the butler's tone, the adult's mansion has not been peaceful lately?"

"It's not those two sons who make the master unhappy all day long. Don't talk about it, don't talk about it, the front is here, you two have a rare trip, so I won't mention these bad things. ”

The housekeeper pointed to the courtyard not far ahead, and as soon as Niu Chong walked to the gate of the courtyard, he saw an old man in the middle of the courtyard who was leaning over and fiddling with a clump of peonies in the flower field.

"Isn't the old man just like that, he has been fiddling with these peonies all day long since he called."

Niu Zhong looked up and down, he was neither thin nor fat, his spirit looked good, and he finally felt a lot more down-to-earth.

He quickly took out something from his arms and stuffed it into the butler's hand, and as soon as the butler's hand moved, he took the initiative to retreat outside the courtyard without waiting for Niu Zhong to speak.

"You two can rest assured to talk to the old man, I'll be there and watch, and call me if there's anything."

"Thank you, butler."

The housekeeper retreated to the edge of the corridor not far away, and he could not hear the people in the courtyard, so that he could find out as soon as something happened.

This butler is quite a sensible child, but it is really tried and tested that money can make ghosts grind.

Seeing the housekeeper walking away, Niu Chongcai walked towards the old man squatting in the courtyard.

The old man was concentrating on fiddling with the peony, and he didn't leave anyone at all.

"Daddy!"

"Ahh

Niu Zhong walked into the yard and shouted loudly, and the old man reacted and turned back slowly.

"Chong'er? What are you doing here? ”

"It's been all these days, why don't I have to come and see Daddy."

Niu Zhong said as he helped Uncle Niu up.

"What's so nice about my old bones. You go back quickly, take care of the affairs of the county, and take care of yourself and Xiaoxiao. ”

"Daddy, I know you're thinking about Xiaoxiao, so I brought her this time."

"Xiaoxiao is here too? You kid! This is the Zhizhou Mansion, not our Mo County, what are you bringing Xiaoxiao for? ”

As soon as Yue heard Niu Zhong mention Niu Xiao's name, she remembered that her current identity was Niu Xiao, and Niu Xiao should be a daughter who was worried about her father's safety and could not sleep well, but her performance just now was too cold.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she noticed that they had overlooked a very important matter.

How could Uncle Niu not recognize his biological daughter?

Even though he was old, he was not so confused. And listening to him, not only is he not confused at all, but his brain is also very clear.

As long as he casually said that she was not Niu Xiao, wouldn't all this be in vain?

However, neither the death nor the weight of the cow mentioned this issue.

But it's already at this juncture, it's too late to say anything, and there is no other way than to continue acting.

As soon as Yue raised his head, he met Niu Chong's meaningful eyes, could he really have any way?

Yue Jiang Xin glanced at Niu Zhong suspiciously, and then hurried up to meet him, pretending to be excited, and sobbing secretly.

"Daddy, isn't Xiaoxiao worried about you? You said that you are happy here, but you have been gone for so many days, and you don't bring a letter or anything to your home, but Xiaoxiao is worried, and your health is not good, even if someone takes care of it, how can we do our best. ”

Yue couldn't stop wiping the corners of his eyes with his sleeves as he spoke, and his voice was also a little crying.

"You..."

Uncle Niu looked at Yue suspiciously, and just wanted to speak, but saw that Niu Chong's hand holding Uncle Niu suddenly moved slightly, as if he had pinched Uncle Niu.

"Look at what you kid said, I'm old, but I'm not at the point where I can't take care of myself. You said that you are a girl's family, and if you don't take it with your family, you have to follow your eldest brother to this governor's mansion to do something, isn't this a desire to make trouble for your eldest brother? ”

"It's not because I'm worried about my father, you haven't heard from you for so long, and my eldest brother has been hiding it, so I have to take a look at it myself to rest assured."

"Okay, okay, you girl, old man, I'm fine, what are you crying about, quickly wipe your tears."

"Alright, Xiaoxiao. Daddy is not in good health, so he helped him in and sat down first, and said something slowly. ”

"Yes!"

Yue nodded heavily, stepped forward, and Niu Chongyi helped Uncle Niu into the room.

As soon as Uncle Niu sat down, he couldn't wait to ask something, but Yue immediately stopped him. She turned around and closed the door tightly, and while motioning to Niu Zhong to say something casually, she put her ear to the door and listened for a long time.

It wasn't until she confirmed that there was no one around that she left the door and sat back.

"Chong'er, what the hell is going on?"

Uncle Niu saw that she was sitting back, so he asked the topic, and Niu Zhong told him roughly the cause and effect.

The old man listened quietly, but Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, although the old man is old, his brain is not confused. Otherwise, if Niu Chong's just now didn't work, and the old man shouted for the housekeeper to hear, it would be a big deal.

Yue is still a little scared when he thinks about it now, but what should he do next?

I don't know what Niu Chong is planning, why didn't he ask Luo Minhang to let her stay in the Zhizhou Mansion as planned?

Yue was very confused, but it was inconvenient to interject, so he could only sit aside and wait. But unexpectedly, while the two were talking, Old Man Niu suddenly became angry.

"Chong'er, how do you think I usually teach you? Caring for the family and the country, and thinking about the world! How can you delay business for an old man like me, who is buried in the dirt to his neck? The hope of so many people in Wuzhou is all on the body of the prince Xuan, but you have delayed the prince's business because of me like an old man, and it is just a matter of making the prince unhappy, in case it affects the fathers and villagers of this state, even if I can escape from this state mansion safely, but what kind of face will you let my old bones have to meet the ancestors and ancestors in the future! ”

Yue didn't expect that this Uncle Niu was not only not confused, but also a righteous man who was loyal to the country and loyal to the liver and cared about the people. Seeing that the old man became more and more excited and his voice became louder and louder, Niu Zhong couldn't wait to cover the old man's mouth, but he really didn't dare to do such a rebellious thing.

"Daddy, Daddy! Don't worry, come and have a cup of tea, go with the flow, and slowly say no. ”

The ox was so anxious that he was sweating, and he didn't know what to do. Yue was also blindsided for a while, so he quickly poured a cup of tea and handed it to Niu Zhong.

Uncle Niu panted excitedly, took the tea handed over by Niu and took a sip, which temporarily blocked his mouth.

It's not a way to go on like this, if Uncle Niu doesn't cooperate, then this plan can't continue.

The panic that caught him off guard passed, and Yue immediately calmed down.

"The old gentleman can have such a mind, which is really admirable to the little girl. However, the ox was reborn as a son of man, and it is not only human nature to worry about your safety, but also a piece of filial piety. Filial piety comes first, if he is not filial to his father, how can he afford the heavy responsibility of this country? Sir, do you have a point in what I said? ”

Uncle Niu didn't say anything, just glanced at Yue, but his expression didn't seem to be as excited as Fang Cai. Although he didn't reply, he didn't object, and this was a good start, so Yue immediately struck while the iron was hot and continued.

"It's not been a day or two since the matter of Wuzhou City, if it weren't for Niu Zhixian taking a big risk to report this matter to the prince, I'm afraid the court would still be kept in the dark. Moreover, those things can be obtained now, and they are all the credit of Niuzhi County. Niu Zhixian not only lived up to your teachings, but also was a rare good official. And take a step back, if it weren't for these things, you wouldn't have been in danger, old man. If the prince disregards your life and death, how can he be worthy of Niu Zhixian's great benevolence and righteousness? Even if this thing is done, but it will be spread in the future, the peace of Wuzhou is obtained by sacrificing the life of the old gentleman, what kind of face does this prince have to face the father and fellow villagers of Wuzhou? ”

After listening to Yue's words, Uncle Niu was silent for a long time, and then raised his head and stared at her intently.

"You girl, you are not very old, but your knowledge is not shallow, she is also clever, she can speak, and the person who can follow Prince Xuan is really extraordinary."

"You praise it, but you are all clever people who can't be on the stage, how can you compare with your mind that cares about Li Min."

"Although the girl is smart, this country is a man's business after all, how can a little girl like you interfere. Since she is a girl, she should be born at home with a husband and children. ”

Uncle Niu's words turned sharply, and the spearhead was pointed at Yue's body, and his words were merciless, even mixed with contempt.
