Mrs. Xu was already pregnant, and she didn't know about the gossip. She told Mrs. Xu about Ning Yuanhou's suspension and investigation. When Mrs. Xu pressed her, the maid next to her told her the whole story clearly.
However, because Mrs. Lin was hiding in a secluded yard in the backyard, being served by specialized people, and not letting people go out, the mansion was still very much kept secret. Naturally, the people around Mrs. Xu didn't know what happened, so they kept her secret. Let’s talk about the things that are circulating outside.
Mrs. Xu was a soft-tempered person. When she heard that Xu Qingmo had caused this disaster because she met a foreigner, Mrs. Xu blamed herself for the trouble.
After finally coaxing Madam Xu to sleep, the four members of the Xu family sat in the main room, looking at each other. Finally, Xu Yanquan broke the silence: "How long will Madam Lin's matter last?"
"The person behind the scenes has been found, but Your Majesty may not punish him!" Xu Qingmo looked up at Xu Yanquan, tilting his head slightly, his eyes full of ridicule.
As soon as these words came out, Xu Yanquan immediately knew that this matter was probably related to the prince. He frowned slightly: "Then tell the truth to mother and don't make her worry so much!"
"No!" Marquis Ning Yuan shook his head, "You know, the lady has been meeting with the doctor every day recently, and people in the yard often go out to buy, so it is inevitable that the news will leak out!"
Xu Qingmo scratched his brows: "Then just coax her. As long as we push out the lively Mrs. Lin, our Xu family will be able to clear things up, but the timing is still a little behind!"
Marquis Ning Yuan turned his head slightly and looked at Xu Qingmo: "What Mo Mo said is good, but your information is too well informed!"
Xu Qingmo avoided Marquis Ning Yuan's gaze, touched his cup and said nothing.
The three of them were talking to each other, and they were talking nonsense. Princess Zhengyang listened in confusion and didn't understand what they were talking about.
When he finally left, Zhengyang carefully pulled Xu Yanquan's sleeve: "Husband, who is the person behind the scenes you just mentioned?"
"Prince's Mansion!" Xu Yanquan glanced at Zhengyang and did not hide her intention.
"Ah? That's impossible. Brother Prince has been wearing gold and silver since he was a child. What do you want with that silver?" Zhengyang's face was full of disbelief.
Xu Yanquan remembered that the previous thorough investigation of the missing woman's case was also done by the prince's mother-in-law. He was silent for a while and then said: "I am talking about Mrs. Lin's case. Collusion between officials and gangsters is a serious crime, and the Suzhou weaver knowingly In the case of a serious crime, he also designed someone to frame Ningyuan Houfu. We can’t rule out that he wants to drag Ningyuan Houfu into trouble at this juncture!”
Zhengyang is not the kind of person who can be easily coaxed. She stopped and looked at Xu Yanquan: "Are you worried that I will relay what you said to your father?"
Xu Yanquan was stunned for a moment, then turned back to look at Zhengyang: "Of course not, it's just that the prince is your brother after all, I just don't want to embarrass you!"
Zhengyang slowly lowered his head: "Is that just this?"
"The prince wanted to marry Mo Mo before he got married. He cares about power more than we know. You can't avoid these things in the royal family, but now that you are married and become my wife, if you can If so, I hope you won't get involved in these things again!" Xu Yanquan walked up to Zhengyang and gently stroked her cheek with his fingertips.
Zhengyang raised his head and looked at Xu Yanquan: "I have always admired Mo Mo. She is very brave and smart. Maybe I can't help you like her, but at least, I want to face those things together with you, no matter what Is it a good thing or a bad thing!”
Xu Yanquan looked at Zhengyang for a long time, then nodded slowly: "Okay!"
Zhengyang, who was still a little aggrieved, immediately laughed, then pulled Xu Yanquan's sleeve and walked back briskly.
Xu Qingmo, who was following them from a distance, could only hide behind a tree while watching them talk about love. Fortunately, he accidentally annoyed a squirrel living on it, and he didn't know whether he kicked it down or The dropped pine cone hit it perfectly.
Waiting until the people were far away, Xu Qingmo patted the fallen leaves on his head and walked out.
"The Crown Prince didn't realize we were here?" Hua Ying was a little surprised, "If it had been in the past, the Crown Prince would have caught me out long ago!"
"This man is easily fascinated by sex!" Xu Qingmo raised his eyebrows, "When my father came to see me just now, he didn't find anyone in my house!"
"Girl, is there someone in your house? When did this happen?" Hua Ying's face was filled with shock, and her voice rose unconsciously.
"Keep your voice down!" Xu Qingmo quickly covered Huaying's mouth, "Do you want everyone in the house to know that there is someone in my house?"
Hua Ying nodded quickly and said that she would not yell anymore, and then Xu Qingmo released his hand covering her mouth.
Xu Qingmo walked forward slowly: "It's Meng Hetong. He came back from Hangzhou overnight. He came to see me just now to talk about what happened in the Prince's Mansion. As soon as he finished talking, my father came and he was in the house. My dad, he didn’t realize it.”
Hua Ying laughed: "Maybe our Lord Marquis actually knows, but it's more important that the eldest lady is not feeling well, so he is too lazy to care about the girl."
Xu Qingmo looked back at Hua Ying, with a face full of approval: "As the saying goes, it is difficult for a hero to pass the beauty test. My father and my eldest brother are both heroes, and the eldest wife and sister-in-law are also beauties. It is reasonable that they cannot pass this test. "
"Girl, if the Marquis and the Crown Prince heard what you said, would they beat you to death?" Hua Ying looked around and then said cautiously.
"Then don't worry, they will definitely give me a breath. After all, I am also their biological child, so they won't kill me on the spot." Xu Qingmo shook his head, quite confident, "At least they will hire a doctor. Just for fun."
Hua Ying was amused by Xu Qingmo's serious way of talking nonsense, and she couldn't stop giggling.
Xu Qingmo walked back slowly. When he passed the small door connected to the courtyard next door, he suddenly remembered: "Second uncle's wife, how is Zhang Luo doing? Didn't you tell me that you have a suitable girl early? Why have you been keeping this for a long time?" There’s been no movement until now?”
"Girl, you don't take these things to heart at all?" Hua Ying raised her eyebrows, "The second master got engaged to that girl a few days ago, but because the second master lost his wife not long ago, he couldn't make a big deal, so our family There’s not much fanfare here, but the future second lady is still giving her enough face.”
A few years ago, Xu Qingmo spent most of his time lying in his yard. Mrs. Xu didn't want to let him worry too much. She took care of all these things by herself, so much so that she even got engaged to her second uncle. , this matter is not very clear.
