Over the past few days, even the servants in the Marquis' Mansion knew that they should not make the Young Madam unhappy.

Because the Young Madam was unhappy, the Crown Prince was unhappy, and the Marquis's wife was also unhappy.

The Marquis's wife was unhappy, the Crown Prince was unhappy, and the Marquis acted as if he had offended someone and was very cautious.

The Second Young Master's injury was entirely his own fault.

Sure enough, Nangong Yu said coldly:

"So, the Second Young Master still has the strength to fight. Don't worry, Uncle Yang will check Xi'er's pulse and prescribe a tranquilizing soup for her."

Anyway, the goal is to get Doctor Yang away.

Now even the Marquis was unhappy.

"Yu'er, let Doctor Yang take a look at Xuan'er's hand first."

Nangong Yu didn't say anything, but Huaqi took the initiative to step forward and put Doctor Yang's medicine box on his back, then he directly called Doctor Yang's medicine boy and left. Doctor Yang still clasped his fists towards the Marquis and said:

"If the Second Young Master can't wait, please seek help from someone else. Otherwise, wait for me to go and show the ladies first."

Then he followed.

Under Jiuhuan's escort, Gu Ruoxi first went to Wutong Courtyard to see the servants who were injured there.

However, Nangong Yu and Xie Qingrou, who stayed behind to deal with the problems here, were not in such good tempers.

Xie Qingrou took a step forward and looked at the old lady Zhu who had fainted there:

"It's bad enough that Madam Zhu is fainted here, but she's also pinning someone down. Why don't you move the person away? Don't let the girl get crushed to death."

Without anyone else, Mo Yi stepped forward alone, reached out and grabbed Madam Zhu's belt, and lifted and dragged her away from the maid. But as soon as he let go, the person still fell on the stone stairs, but this time he had to suffer the pain himself.

Madam Zhu, who was in pain, no longer pretended, but because she was too fat, she could not get up all of a sudden. She tried to turn over and stand up sideways, but she fell sideways on the stone steps.

So when I turned over with force, I turned into a round ball of meat and rolled down. Fortunately, the stone stairs here were not high, only six steps. After rolling down, there was a road paved with stone slabs, with flower beds on both sides.

Nangong Jiao saw that her grandmother was about to hit the flower bed, so she screamed and rushed over to stop her grandmother, but she was knocked down as well.

However, Madam Zhu still had to thank Nangong Jiao for blocking her. Although she failed to stop her rolling, at least she was blocked from hitting the flower bed, but she rolled right next to Nangong Yu's chair.

She tried to reach out and grab something to stand up in a panic. The only girl who was still intact among the people she brought with her ran over with a pale face and reached out to help her up, but she was not strong enough to lift a fat person by herself.

The people Xie Qingrou brought naturally would not help. Nangong Jiao looked around and saw that no one else moved, so she could only reprimand her other maid Yu'er:

"You are blind, go help my grandmother up."

Yu'er was so frightened when she saw Yue'er's appearance that she became weak, and she didn't have the strength to help Old Madam Zhu up.

But the two of them barely helped Madam Zhu to sit down.

Madam Zhu, who was sitting, looked at Nangong Yu who was sitting on the chair and suddenly said:

"What a pity, the prince can't stand up anymore. I heard that the prince may not have any descendants. This mansion still has to rely on the second young master."

Because the rumor was that the prince not only lost sensation in his two legs, but his third leg was also disabled.

Nangong Yu said coldly:

"Then let's see whether the Zhu family or the Nangong family dies out first."

Nangong Yu waved his hand, and Mo Yi came over. Nangong Yu said:

"Go and hand over the Zhu family's information to the Ministry of Justice. Isn't the master of the Zhu family the sixth-rank official in charge of the Ministry? Give the information to the Minister of Justice."

"Yes."

Mo Yi left in response. The Marquis knew something was wrong and immediately stopped him:

"Yuer, no!"

Nangong Yu looked at his father coldly and said:

"Can you stop him? Let me tell you, three years ago, Zhu Huairen invited you to dinner and asked you to give him a guarantee. Do you remember? After you gave the guarantee, Zhu Huairen used your name to forcibly seize three women in Songzhou and occupied two wealthy families' farms totaling more than 400 acres. Now he has two concubines in Songzhou, each of whom gave birth to a son for him."

"Last year, Zhu Huaizhen handed you a box containing a house deed and a land deed. He told you that it was to thank you for helping him get a batch of goods detained at the dock. Is that true?"

The Marquis paused and nodded.

The incident was not a big deal. Zhu Huaizhen, the third master of Zhu, was a merchant who transferred a batch of goods from the south to Beijing. However, he did not expect that because of a ship collision, there was a dispute, so the goods were detained by the boat gang at the dock. He took his men there and the people at the dock let them go.

Thinking about this, the Marquis felt that his cousin Zhu San was very sensible, so he went there by himself, and the Marquis gave him a farm and a shop.

"Have you checked why their ship was seized? It's because they killed people and robbed goods. The cargo ship belonged to an ordinary merchant. He robbed it and killed the merchant and his people and threw them into the river. You became a guarantor for the goods that were seized by the thieves. Lord Nangong is so influential that he can cover the sky with one hand in the capital."

Although Nangong Su is not clear about family affairs, he is not a corrupt official.

When he heard his son say this, he was startled.

impossible!

Although the people of the Zhu family don't have much ability, they all rely on the Nangong family for their livelihood. Nangong Su actually knows this, as they are both his uncle's family and Zhu Xinlan's maternal family.

Therefore, he has always turned a blind eye to the various subsidies given to the old marquis' wife and Zhu Xinlan's family by her parents.

"impossible!"

If he had guaranteed the murder and robbery, then he would have become an accomplice. And the matter of guaranteeing my second cousin, I... I remember that he just said he wanted to buy a farm in Songzhou, but he was short of money.

Let me be a guarantor and let the seller believe it. At that time, Lord Nangong was determined to help him with money.

But the second cousin righteously refused:

"No need. It's embarrassing for us brothers to rely on the Marquis's house for relief. Lord Marquis, you just need to guarantee me the salary of my elder brother and I next month, plus the harvest of my third brother next month, that's enough. It's just that the seller is in a hurry, so he's afraid of me... so he asked you to come forward."

At that time, the Marquis thought that his cousins ​​were very hardworking and that the whole family was working hard to make progress. It was okay for him to be a guarantor. Even if they couldn't afford it, he could help them buy it.

Who would have known that the other person was using his reputation as a guarantee to become a local tyrant over there?

Nangong Su's face looked a little ugly.

Although he said... he believed what his son said was true.

He had helped everyone in the Zhu family, but he didn't expect them to set such a trap for him.

I always thought that they were having a hard time. Well, the ones who said they were having a hard time were my mother and Zhu Xinlan who said it in front of him time and time again.
