The messenger was also a discerning person. Although he could not express his sympathy for the He family, he did not intend to continue to see the He family's embarrassment here. After saying a few auspicious words, he waved people away.
As soon as these people left, the two boys kneeling in front of the door immediately got up, entered the yard and closed the door.
Immediately, Mo Jiuye heard a slight sobbing sound in the courtyard.
"Master, what should I do?"
Mrs. He's voice was very soft. If it weren't for Mo Jiuye's martial arts skills and good hearing, she would not have been able to hear it.
He really wanted to know the reaction of his father-in-law's family to this matter, so he quietly left the crowd, walked around to the side of Shangshu's Mansion, jumped high on a big tree, and looked inside.
The three members of He Shangshu's family all drooped their heads and sighed.
"Marriage is granted by the imperial decree, what can I do?"
He Yuanming said, turning to look at his son who was heartbroken.
"Back then, your mother helped you look for so many good girls, but you just refused. Now it's better, because Princess Jade is interested in her, and the whole family is implicated."
Seeing that her son was being criticized, Mrs. He said unhappily:
"It's not your fault. Ziming had to take part in the imperial examination. If not, how could he go out on the street and be seen by Princess Jade."
"You... I asked Ziming to take part in the imperial examination because I didn't want his talent to be buried. How can you blame me for this?"
Seeing that his parents were about to quarrel because of this, He Ziming quickly stood between them.
"Father, mother, please stop arguing. It's hard to disobey the emperor's order. Since we must marry Princess Jade, at worst, I will open a single house to save you two elders from suffering."
Hearing what her son said, Mrs. He shed tears.
"How can that be done? No matter how domineering Princess Jade is, she is still a junior in front of me and your father, so she will have some scruples. If you live alone, I'm afraid you won't have a good day."
Mrs. He thought that as a mother-in-law, she could at least have a little deterrent effect.
Mo Jiuye listened to the conversation between her father-in-law's family and the three of them, and secretly made up her mind to help them.
He quietly left Shangshu's Mansion and walked towards the Nine Princes' Mansion again.
Perhaps it was because Princess Jade was granted a marriage by imperial edict, but the front door of Jiuwang Mansion, which had always been low-key, was surprisingly lively today.
Although the door was not completely open, people were constantly coming in and out at the corner door, and there were servants greeting them back and forth.
If he didn't know that Mr. Simeng was involved with the Ninth Prince's Mansion, Mo Jiuye would probably think that the Ninth Prince was keeping a low profile.
Now, he doesn't think so. It is obvious that the Ninth Prince's Mansion did this on purpose.
Whether it was intentional or unintentional, in short, Mo Jiuye would never dare to look down on the Ninth Prince now.
After observing for a while in front of the door, in order to prevent others from noticing anything strange, he planned to walk around the wall of the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
Arriving at the backyard of the Ninth Prince's Mansion, Mo Jiuye could vaguely hear the sound of a piano.
This place is much quieter than the front yard. Although the sound of the piano is not loud, it can still be heard clearly by people with martial arts skills like Mo Jiuye.
He had no interest in music, and he used to listen to his mother and sisters-in-law occasionally playing at home.
Even so, he could feel that there was a sense of resentment in the sound of the piano, and the tune was not something he often heard.
Just as Mo Jiuye was thinking, there was a sudden burst of sound. In this case, he knew that the string was broken.
The sound of the piano disappeared.
Mo Jiuye was very curious. According to his knowledge, in a high-end compound like the Nine Princes' Mansion, the people in the backyard were basically slaves or guards.
There is the sound of a piano coming from here, and judging from the sound, the person playing the piano must have good skills.
There must be a monster when something goes wrong, so Mo Jiuye thought of checking it out.
He looked around and saw that no one was watching, so he jumped up to the courtyard wall.
There was shade from the trees there, just enough to cover his body, so he didn't have to worry about being discovered.
Mo Jiuye looked intently into the courtyard.
This place was different from what he had imagined. The ground was covered with weeds, and in the place where the weeds were the most luxuriant, a small courtyard was wrapped around it.
In the courtyard, a tall figure in white clothes and a bamboo hat was sitting in front of a guqin in a daze.
Although Mo Jiuye has not seen Mr. Simeng's appearance with his own eyes, people who have interrogated him have said that Mr. Simeng has white hair.
Therefore, he could conclude that this person was undoubtedly Mr. Simeng.
Fortunately, his sanity still existed and he did not act rashly when he saw his enemy.
Because he discovered that there were many guards in black hiding in the darkness around the courtyard.
You don't need to think about it to know that these people are there to protect Mr. Simeng.
If he acted rashly, it would be good if he could catch the person, but if he missed it and alerted the snake, he might not get a second chance.
He tried hard to suppress the impulse in his heart and jumped off the wall.
Mo Jiuye was sure that Mr. Simeng would not leave the Nine Princes' Mansion until he got the Golden Winged Eagle.
As long as the person is there, he will come up with a perfect strategy to capture the person as quickly as possible.
Mo Jiuye thought about it all the way and came to the door of Fei Mansion again.
A plan suddenly rose in his mind.
…
At night, Mo Jiuye wore a black night clothes and left Yong'an Lane.
He returned to the most familiar place again. After some observation, he jumped in from the east wall.
The courtyard was pitch dark, completely different from the scene where Mohists lived at this time in the past.
Mo Jiuye was familiar with everything here. He guessed that Fei Nanyu probably lived in the main courtyard, so he quickly rushed towards the target.
Unexpectedly, the main courtyard was also dark. Looking at the study room separated by a wall from the main courtyard, there was a faint light coming from the window.
Mo Jiuye moved towards the study room carefully, because he could feel that there were a lot of strange smells around, indicating that there were guards there.
He held his breath and walked around to the back of the study, gently poked a hole in the paper on the back window and looked inside.
Fei Nanyu didn't notice anything. He was leaning on the soft couch with his eyes slightly squinted. Judging from his breathing, he was not in a deep sleep state. Mo Jiuye guessed that he was thinking.
At this moment in the dead of night, Mo Jiuye was not conspicuous in his black night clothes. Moreover, he had just deliberately restrained his voice, so that he was not noticed by the guards around him.
But Fei Nanyu doesn't understand martial arts. If he doesn't make some noise, I'm afraid Fei Nanyu won't be able to discover his existence at all.
In front of Fei Mansion today, Mo Jiuye had already guessed that Fei Nanyu would be surrounded by Nan Qi's spy. Therefore, he did not want to be discovered when he arrived tonight. No matter what, he could not cause trouble to Fei Nanyu.
So, he swayed and came to a secret place, and observed that there was only one guard who could see the back window of the study.
Mo Jiuye jumped up, knocked the guard unconscious with a knife, and then placed him in a safe place before breaking through the window.
