The lady of Chongxi has supernatural powers and is favored by the powerful official

Nangong Yu still found it hard to believe that since when did the unlearned Nangong Xuan develop his own way of playing.

"Qingyi, find a few people to investigate Nangong Xuan for me. After you find out his past, keep an eye on him. If someone comes to kill him, don't save him. This will be a good opportunity to find out who wants to kill him."

Qingyi took the order and went out.

He did these things without hiding them from Gu Ruoxi. Gu Ruoxi looked at Nangong Yu thoughtfully and said:

"At noon, after my mother learned the news, she asked someone to call my cousin over, and then sent me away to go to my mother's place. She said that the Marquis wanted to look for her."

Nangong Yu smiled bitterly and said:

"Xi'er, all these years, it's been mother who has been protecting me. Mother has some people under her, but these people basically just help mother with some management matters. Mother doesn't have anyone who can really investigate these matters. So, she might want to use someone from the Xie family to do the job, so she found my cousin."

"But now that I'm grown up, I can't let you worry about everything anymore. You should live your own life."

"Now that my uncle has come to the capital, there will be a branch of the Xie family, my cousin's descendants, who will stay in the capital. With someone from the Xie family in the capital, I can't let them think that I don't have the ability to take care of mom, and ...

Gu Ruoxi nodded and said:

"Let's protect Mom together from now on."

Nangong Yu smiled and handed Gu Ruoxi another piece of cake:

"No need Xi'er, just me. I will have a wife in the future, and I must protect my wife and my mother."

Gu Ruoxi narrowed her eyes and smiled. She was not shy enough to blush. She seemed to think this was normal.

It’s not about whether a man must protect a woman, but that as a person being protected, she is used to it.

Nangong Yu continued to analyze:

"From now on, you must follow me and learn how to manage the household, Xi'er. Only after you learn how to manage the household will I let go of the Nangong family's affairs."

Gu Ruoxi nodded, but she actually didn’t fully understand what Nangong Yu meant.

While the two were talking, someone came to report that Eunuch Wang had come to deliver an imperial decree, and asked the masters to go out and receive it.

Nanny Yang brought Qingqiu over and prepared to dress up Gu Ruoxi.

At times like this, you still have to dress more formally and comb your hair again.

Although the emperor had rewarded Nangong Yu and Gu Ruoxi with gifts, for various reasons, Gu Ruoxi really did not receive the decree in person.

Nanny Yang came in person, combed Gu Ruoxi's hair, and put on a set of headgear. After she changed into new clothes, she followed the Marquis's wife to receive the imperial edict.

After Nangong Yu changed his clothes, he asked Mo Yi and the others to carry him to the outer courtyard. He and the Marquis were drinking tea with Eunuch Wang. Anyone who could stand up had to come to receive the imperial edict.

Therefore, even the old marquis' wife was notified. Nangong Xuan and Nangong Jiao were notified to receive the imperial edict, but they didn't know what had happened.

When all the masters arrived, Zhu Xinlan couldn't come either. She was lying down with fractures on her back. She was beaten by Gu Ruoxi.

But no one made the decision for her. It was only after Xie Qingrou took over the management and a maid came to report that she asked for a doctor to come back to see him. Now he is still unable to move and is lying in Jing'an Hall.

Looking at all the people who came, Eunuch Wang had some idea in his mind:

"Since everyone is here, I will start to announce the decree. The emperor said, 'Nangong Yu's leg is not healed yet, so he doesn't need to kneel.'"
