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

Nangong Yu said calmly:

"Mom should live her own life. This doesn't give her a platform to develop. Otherwise, with Mom's ability, she can do great things."

Xie Daoru knew that many scholars did not approve of divorce. In their eyes, this was a sign of not observing the virtuous woman.

Nangong Yu's current status is special. He just lost his position as the crown prince. Although he was promoted, most people still believe that this position was given by the emperor out of consideration for their kindness.

It was just a little compensation given to Nangong Yu when he lost his status as the Crown Prince.

It was said that an inspector was handed over to him, but in the eyes of the old people in the court, it was just a formality. In their opinion, the emperor did not dare to really deal with these old ministers who had served through two or three dynasties.

Especially right after he was appointed as an official, Nangong Yu asked for leave, saying that there was something going on at home, and people outside started betting on Nangong Yu's life or death.

This once again made the Nangong family the center of rumors in the capital.

At the same time, it also lowered Nangong Yu's prestige, making more people look down on him.

Now, if Xie Qingrou really divorced, Nangong Yu would be laughed at again.

Nangong Su was a military general, but Nangong Yu was a scholar.

Not only did the scholar become an official, but his mother was also divorced. In their eyes, this was against ethical ethics.

Although there was no rule in the imperial dynasty prohibiting divorce, and there were precedents, the fact that a marquis's wife, a legitimate daughter of the Xie family, was divorcing the marquis was definitely problematic in the eyes of others.

Although for Xie Daoru, as long as his sister was happy, no one dared to bring up this matter with him in the court.

But he was worried that his nephew would be affected by this incident.

His mother wanted to divorce him, and he lost his position as crown prince. Although his health had recovered, he still seemed to have lost a lot.

Unexpectedly, Nangong Yu said that his mother should have divorced long ago:

"If it weren't for me, my mother would have given up staying in the Nangong family all these years. Now that I'm married, my family has a mistress and a housekeeper. The servants in the backyard of this mansion are all mine. There will be no chaos."

Xie Daoru frowned this time. His sister could live a good life, but his nephew's wife should be better able to support the family so that his nephew could devote all his efforts to the dynasty in the court.

In his opinion, his nephew's wife should at least have the ability to be a housekeeper.

In any harem, without a woman with strong housekeeping skills to support it, how can a man make a living and achieve something outside?

From what Nangong Yu said, if Xie Qingrou is not in the backyard now, he will be in charge of it himself?

"Are you too busy to come over?"

He was not one of those bigwigs in the court. He knew what Nangong Yu and the emperor were thinking, so he naturally knew that Nangong Yu was not joking about cleaning up some people in the court.

Then wouldn’t all the suffering they endured during their youth have been in vain?

Nangong Yu understood his uncle's worries and smiled:

"Don't worry, uncle. Xi'er is capable of managing the family. But hasn't she recently become an apprentice to learn medicine? Besides, although mother is not in the mansion, Nanny Yang is always there."

Xie Daoru was somewhat hesitant about Gu Ruoxi's decision to take old doctor Yang as her teacher. Should a married woman go out every day to study medicine?

Nangong Yu thought for a moment, and whispered in Xie Daoru's ear:

"Uncle may not know, do you think my mother and I like Xi'er, but it was only because she woke me up to get married?"

Xie Daoru's eyes showed that he indeed thought so.

Nangong Yu smiled and said:

"In fact, it was Xi'er who cured me of the poison. Old Doctor Yang also knew about it. Now that I have stood up, Old Doctor Yang was afraid that it would be difficult for her to make up for it in the future, so he accepted her as his apprentice."

Xie Daoru was stunned. This was the first time he knew about this.

Is this nephew's wife capable?

Nangong Yu smiled and said:

"She won't tell me where she learned her skills, and I don't want to ask, but if she wants to get by here, she must be a disciple of Old Doctor Yang. This is the best arrangement."

"You have also heard about Xi'er's identity. Doctor Yang is helping her."

Xie Daoru understood the meaning of Nangong Yu’s words, which was considered to be a boost to Gu Ruoxi’s status.

If it was really Gu Ruoxi who saved Nangong Yu, Xie Daoru would have to look at his daughter-in-law in a different light.

Anyway, as far as he knew, his nephew and sister held this girl in the palm of their hands.

"Well, I'll bring it up."

Xie Daoru stood up, walked out of Chaohui Courtyard, and went directly to the outer study to talk to Nangong Su.

Nangong Su was very nervous. Although his brother-in-law didn't know martial arts, the pressure he gave him was unmatched by even several masters.

"Brother, please sit down."

He hurriedly asked someone to bring the tea again.

Xie Daoru sat down with a calm expression, then looked around the study. It was called a study, but there were only two rows of books in it. The rest of the place was filled with knives and swords, which looked like treasures.

Of course, Xie Daoru didn't care about these things.

He looked at Nangong Su who was standing aside and ready to serve him and said:

"My Lord, please sit down and talk."

Nangong Su said with a smile on his face:

"Big brother, sit down. Big brother, sit down."

Nangong Su still sat down. Xie Daoru lightly flicked the dust off his gown, then said calmly:

"My Xie family and the Nangong family have been related for more than 20 years. Now I know how the Marquis and my sister get along."

Speaking of this, Nangong Su knew that he was wrong. He felt a little embarrassed to be criticized by his brother-in-law. He stood up and waited respectfully.

"Back then, Lord Nangong did save my father's life, but I didn't expect that he would use this to exchange for my sister marrying into your Nangong family."

"I never expected that our beloved sister would live as a widow for twenty years in the Nangong family. Lord Nangong, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Nangong Su broke out in a cold sweat.

Although it's a bit embarrassing to have my brother-in-law bring up what we did in the bedroom like this, it's the fact.

Now that I think about it, I was really blinded by greed before.

Xie Daoru didn't look at Nangong Su and stood up respectfully again, and continued:

"Back then, the old Marquis said that he would treat my daughter of the Xie family well. So this is what it means to treat her well. Fortunately, my daughter of the Xie family has a large dowry and can support herself and her children. Marquis, is your family really so poor that you can't even support your wife and children?"

My Lord, my sweat!

Xie Daoru picked up the tea, took two sips and then gently put it down:

"It is also because of these dowries that my sister has been able to eat and sleep well these years. But, is this the life a marquis' wife should have? She actually lives on her dowry!"

Nangong Su waved his hands hurriedly:

"No, no, I gave it to her, but she didn't want it!"

It was Xiao Zhu who first told him about the monthly allowance, saying that other people looked down upon the little monthly allowance they gave.
