After Uncle Qin left, the study became unusually quiet.

Song Zhu lowered his head and said, "Master, I have found out that although Master Zhan has made friends with many young masters in the past few years, he is actually the closest to the young master of the Liu family, but he has never shown it on his face."

Gong Chenyu's eyes were as cold as iron, and his peach blossom eyes made people dare not look directly at him. His voice was as cold as ever, "Which Liu family?"

"The wife of the Duke's mansion's maiden family, Mr. Chen from Minister Liu's family."

"The one who died?"

Song Zhu nodded repeatedly, "I don't know what they are plotting. I only found out that every time Master Zhan and Master Chen meet in private, they always disguise themselves, and never let the servants from the other courtyard follow them."

"Keep an eye on the Liu family and the Duke's Mansion. Perhaps they know what happened at the manor that day."

Gong Chenyu paused and continued, "Search all the brothels and mansions in the capital, and interrogate everyone who has had contact with Gong Zhan."

"Yes, I will take your orders."

When Songzhu left, he passed by Rong Shu, the palace's housekeeper.

Uncle Rong walked into the study with a happy look on his face, and put the bundle in his arms on the desk and opened it.

"Master, based on the list from that day, I have secretly had people draw portraits of all the girls and their personal maids. Please take a look."

Glancing at the wrinkles on Uncle Rong's face due to his earnest smile, Gong Chenyu said unhappily, "If you keep smiling, the wrinkles will be enough to kill a fly!"

Uncle Rong touched his old face and suddenly looked melancholy. "It's normal for an old servant to have wrinkles as he gets older, but I don't know when we can see a daughter in our palace..."

"You can go down."

Gong Chenyu rudely and coldly drove the person away.

Uncle Rong was not afraid and did not make a fuss. He pushed the pile of portraits into the desk and said, "I will go down first. Master, please take your time to look at them. Don't be in a hurry. Look carefully."

After saying this, he ran away like a child who was afraid of being beaten.

Looking at Uncle Rong's cheerful back, Gong Chenyu sighed helplessly.

The next moment, his eyes stared coldly at the drawing paper on the table, his gaze was grim and his eyes were as sharp as a knife.

The big hand with distinct joints casually flipped through the drawing papers. When a pile of portraits were all flipped over and left in one corner, the big hand had already clenched into a fist.

"boom……"

He slammed his fist on the desk and said in a low voice through gritted teeth, "Damn wild woman, you'd better pray to God not to let me find you!"

-

"Ah..."

Nan Mo sneezed loudly as soon as she arrived at the dental clinic.

"Girl, have you caught a cold?"

Wen Xiang hurriedly pulled Nan Mo's clothes together. "It's early spring now. Although the temperature has warmed up, it's still cold and the temperature fluctuates greatly. It's my fault for not taking good care of the girl, causing you..."

"No, there must be someone saying bad things about me behind my back."

Nan Mo rubbed her nose, then said earnestly, "Wen Xiang, don't blame yourself for everything in the future. You are very good."

The fragrance touched me, "The girl is even better, she is a fairy from heaven, beautiful and kind."

Nan Mo pinched the fragrant cheeks and said, "Your little mouth is really sweet, but your girl likes it."

The master and servant got off the carriage and followed the housekeeper to find a matchmaker to buy maids and servants.

After looking around, Nan Mo didn't see anything that particularly caught her eye, so she asked the butler to buy a few at random.

The matchmaker could see that Nan Mo was not interested, so she whispered, "There are a few new ones in the backyard. If you are interested, you can go and take a look, but..."

"Just what?" Nan Mo was puzzled.

Seeing the matchmaker hesitate to speak, the butler understood instantly, walked to Nan Mo and bowed, "Miss, those new ones should be those whose families have committed crimes, or those whose families have fallen into poverty, or those of officials or rich families, and were sold to the matchmaker."

The matchmaker nodded repeatedly at this moment, "Indeed, I just think you are kind, and I don't like those ordinary girls, so I mentioned these new ones. They all have their own strengths. If you are interested, you can go and take a look. It doesn't matter if you don't like them."

Nan Mo didn't know much about this, so she didn't rush to answer the matchmaker. Instead, she looked at the housekeeper and said, "Uncle Shen, if a girl with this background is bought back, will it have an impact on our family?"

The housekeeper's heart warmed, but he quickly shook his head, "Don't worry, young lady. I will send someone to investigate their past after I buy them back. It won't have any impact on our family."

When the housekeeper said the three words "our family", there was a slight tremor in his voice.

He felt very warm in his heart, as the girl finally slowly opened up her heart.

Nan Mo smiled and said, "Then go and take a look."

"Hey..."

The matchmaker heaved a sigh of relief and took a few people to the backyard with a happy face.

There were three girls in the yard, dressed simply and doing embroidery.

When the matchmaker and her group came in, the three men put down the embroidery in their hands when they heard the noise, stood up and looked over with a dignified look.

The matchmaker stepped forward and whispered to the three people, "This noble lady is kind-hearted. If she likes you, just follow her. I am an old woman who can judge people well. You will have a good ending if you follow her."

The three girls' eyes all turned slightly red when they heard the matchmaker's words. They then looked at Nan Mo with complicated expressions, knelt down and saluted her, and then stood there quietly.

Nan Mo looked at the three people and her eyes fell on the matchmaker. She didn't say whether she would buy it or not, but suddenly said with a cold expression, "I see that you treat these three people differently."

The matchmaker was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly explained, "I dare not hide it from you, sir. I really want to find a good place for the three of them."

One of the three stepped forward to block the matchmaker, first knelt slightly to Nan Mo and saluted, then slowly said, "In reply to your words, Grandma Hua once received a small favor from my mother, so she took care of us. I hope you will not worry too much."

Nan Mo's phoenix eyes quietly looked at the girl in front of her who was about her age. There was obviously some panic in her almond-shaped eyes, but she tried her best to calm her nervousness.

Her expression was slightly gentler, and her tone was not as cold as before. "What's your name?"

The girl obviously didn't expect Nan Mo to suddenly and gently ask her name.

After a moment of realization, she quickly replied, "My servant Su He."

"what about you?"

Nan Mo glanced at the two girls next to her who looked a little younger.

"My servant Su..."

The matchmaker suddenly touched her, and the girl was stunned for a moment before she nervously said, "My servant Wutong."

Another one followed closely behind, "Slave...slave..." but because of her nervousness, she forgot the name the matchmaker had given her.

"I hope the young lady will forgive me."

Su He suddenly knelt on the ground, and the other two girls also knelt down hurriedly.

Granny Hua looked solemn, sighed, and hurriedly took a few steps forward, knelt down, and said anxiously, "It's my fault. If you want to blame someone, blame me. I didn't let them say their real names because I was afraid you would be offended."

Su He, who was kneeling on the ground, straightened her back and looked up at Nan Mo. "In reply to your words, Grandma Hua is also doing this for the good of my three sisters. After all, the buyer doesn't like three sisters living in the same house."

The housekeeper beside him frowned slightly, "Are you sisters?"

Seeing the housekeeper's expression, the matchmaker and the three sisters on the ground knew clearly in their hearts that they would have no chance to meet the noble man in front of them today.

As the eldest sister, Su He said in a neither humble nor arrogant voice, "The three of us are all relatives of the Su family, so we are considered sisters."

"girl……"

The butler looked at Nan Mo and said nothing.

Nan Mo understood. She smiled at the housekeeper and then said to the people kneeling on the ground, "Get up, it's not a big deal, why are you kneeling?"
