As soon as Nangong Su stopped, the others gathered around him.

But now the ministers started the trouble without caring about the consequences, acting like they were the uncles.

"My Lord, yes, you are the Lord, and you look down on me, your uncle, right?"

Nangong Su looked at Zhu Shilang with an unpleasant expression, and Zhu Shilang said coldly:

"You said you don't want the title of Marquis, so you don't want the title of Marquis. Your family is so noble that you regard the title of Marquis as dirt. Now let's talk about what you and your son are discussing."

The other adults who gathered around nodded, expressing the same question.

Nangong Su was embarrassed. He didn't know his son would make such a request, and he didn't know why his uncle stopped him and asked this question.

Nangong Su said anxiously:

"Uncle. I..."

"I am not your uncle. We are in the palace now. You are the Marquis, and I am just a third-rank official. I just want to ask what you are planning to do and whether we, the officials, can prepare first."

The ministers were also very angry. Just now, the emperor was speaking, and the people around him were saying in a sarcastic tone that he didn't have to worry, because no matter what happened in the Nangong family, they would inform him, their uncle.

But he felt depressed, he really didn't know what was going on, and he had been a little angry with the Nangong family these past two days, because Jiang had caused such a big disturbance in the Nangong family, and now there were still many injured people in their family.

I had to pay money to that little beast to suppress the matter.

The third brother spent another night in jail.

Although they were released later, the feud between the Zhu family and the Nangong family had been formed.

Moreover, although Nangong Yu said that the things he handed over to the Ministry of Justice have not bubbled up yet, his eldest son said that someone might have helped suppress them, otherwise, the Zhu family might have been thrown into jail.

He was filled with hatred in his heart. He hated the Nangong family's brat for not recognizing his relatives. He was still trying to figure out how to make amends for the situation.

His sons did not tell him who pressed the key, but no matter who it was, there were only a handful of people in the capital who could press the key handed over by Nangong Yu from the Ministry of Justice.

The button has been pressed, but we, the Zhu family, will become other people's pawns in the future.

How can this be compared to the ease with which he had taken advantage of the Changyong Marquis family? And now there is a knife hanging over his head.

Whenever he thought of this, he felt panicked.

Originally, he was surprised and happy when that brat proposed to resign the position of Crown Prince today. Does this mean that Nangong Xuan will have a chance?

But unexpectedly, Nangong Su stated in court that the Marquis of Changyong would no longer have a crown prince, and once this marquis died, the Marquis of Changyong would no longer exist.

This made all the ministers very angry.

Although his last name is Zhu, ever since his half-sister married into the Changyong Marquis family, he has always felt that half of the three words "Changyong Marquis" belong to the Zhu family.

They said they didn't want the title, so they didn't want it, without even asking the other families whether they agreed or not.

In addition, with the emperor's announcement, the person who would go down to build the dam would be his second son. The second son had always been doing odd jobs beside his father, the minister, and this year he was allowed to go with him to build the dam.

After he came back, he knew exactly what was going on over there.

This brat from Marquis Changyong's family doesn't care that much about the Zhu families, and now the emperor has asked him to be in charge of this matter.

Moreover, the relationship between the Changyong Marquis' Mansion and the Zhu family has become strained. If the Zhu family is torn apart in this matter, it is estimated that the things suppressed by the Ministry of Justice will also be torn out.

Although he didn't know what was pressed down over there.

So, as soon as they came out of the hall, none of the gentlemen suppressed their anger and directly stopped Nangong Su.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that he was Nangong Su's uncle and Zhu Xinlan's father, Nangong Su would have always been very respectful to him. He was used to taking advantage of him, and Nangong Su was used to giving him face, so he was stopped by him and questioned.

It would have been fine if Nangong Su just dealt with him, after all, he was his uncle, but when other adults gathered around him, Nangong Su became unhappy.

Why should I, a dignified first-rank marquis, be stopped by you third-, fourth-, and fifth-rank people and asked whatever you want to ask?

So, without giving face to this uncle, he said:

"I wonder what you gentlemen mean? Are you stopping me to go back to the imperial study to discuss matters?"

As a marquis, he could enter the Imperial Study most of the time as long as he informed them. However, these officials of the third, fourth, fifth and sixth ranks were only there for the grand court today, and some of them did not even have the qualifications to attend court on ordinary days.

No one dared to stop him from going to the imperial study.

The other adults immediately felt embarrassed. If they hadn't seen the other adults stopping Lord Nangong, they really wouldn't have dared. They just wanted to listen and see if there was any gossip.

Some officials slipped away quietly, while others clasped their fists as a gesture of greeting and left.

There were not many people left, and when someone was about to bravely ask a few questions, Nangong Su snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and strode away.

This time, he left without even paying his respects to his uncle, Lord Zhu.

The heads of all the adults were buzzing, and they were angry. This kid also became rampant:

“Nangong Su, how dare you just leave without paying any attention?”

Nangong Su stopped and looked back coldly at the ministers:

"What do you want, my Lords?"

Minister Zhu's gray beard moved a little, and he felt a chill on his back, which made him wonder if he had gone too far just now.

He opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Nangong Su looked at him coldly twice, then turned and left.

He was also very angry. His son's actions today had annoyed him again. Lately, this kid had put him in an awkward position, both at home and in the court.

She didn't tell him anything, but she did such a big thing silently.

Nangong Su didn't know who he was angry at. As soon as he entered the mansion, a maid rushed up to him and shouted:

"My Lord, please go and see the Second Young Master. He wants to remove his injured hand again."

Nangong Su was stunned. He hadn't visited that boy in the past two days. Zhu Xinlan was injured and locked up again, so he didn't visit her either.

He could ignore Zhu Xinlan, but Nangong Xuan was the son he loved, and Nangong Su still felt a little guilty about having cut off his hand with his own hands.

When he thought of this, his face was still gloomy. Without even changing his clothes, he followed the old woman to Lanyue Courtyard.

As soon as I entered the yard, I heard Nangong Xuan making a loud noise inside.

One of his hands was chopped off and the other was stabbed. Now he is really like a disabled person.

When the Marquis came in, he saw the two servants who usually took care of Nangong Xuan were kneeling on the ground, and Nangong Xuan was holding a sword and was about to chop off the hand of one of the servants.
