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

Nangong Yu was still thinking about the look that the Seventh Prince gave Gu Ruoxi. What kind of look was that? A man could understand it at a glance.

After Gu Ruoxi talked about the relationship between the Seventh Prince and Gu Ruolan, Nangong Yu could now imagine what the Seventh Prince was thinking when he looked at Gu Ruoxi.

So, watching the innocent Gu Ruoxi and her mother discussing the fulfillment of a vow, Nangong Yu sat aside but smiled and said nothing, but his thoughts flew far away.

Maybe, the emperor and I have got some things wrong?

Nangong Yu thought for a moment, then whispered to his mother and Gu Ruoxi:

"Mom, Xi'er will stay with you. You can teach her how to write this afternoon. I think she has no problem reading, but writing is still a little difficult. When you are ready to return to fulfill your vow, just call me. I have something else to take care of."

The Marquis, who had been sitting beside him, also thought of some things. It was important to keep Xie Qingrou, but his mansion as the last Marquis was also important.

He still remembered the incident of having his hand cut off.

Hearing that Nangong Yu was leaving, he glanced at Nangong Yu, and after Nangong Yu left, he also said:

"Qingrou, you should also call me when you fulfill your vow. It's all your hard work that allowed Yu'er to live again. The vow you made to the Bodhisattva should be fulfilled by our family."

Without waiting for Xie Qingrou to reply, he immediately said:

"Jiao'er came over just now to ask you to agree that she would go out on the 14th. She said it was the birthday of the third young lady of the Zhu family, and the other girls had already made an appointment."

When he said he wanted to fulfill his vow, Xie Qingrou was ready to refuse, but she didn't expect him to mention the second thing.

Xie Qingrou said calmly:

"I will notify you when the time comes to fulfill your vow. You can decide whether you have time to go or not. As for Miss Nangong's affairs, I will not make the decision. Starting tomorrow, Xi'er will take over the affairs of the inner courtyard. I have to start packing my things."

"Xi'er is still unfamiliar with some things. You can decide for yourself whether or not the young lady wants to go out."

When I heard Xie Qingrou's meaning, I didn't care.

Nangong Su felt very upset after hearing this.

Xie Qingrou felt that the management of such a huge mansion was about to get into trouble, and she didn't want to take it on at all.

Just by listening to what Gu Ruoxi asked just now, I knew that she didn't understand some worldly things at all.

She doesn't understand anything, but you still let her manage it. What will happen to this mansion in the future?

But Nangong Su knew that he was not qualified to speak now.

Forget it. Think about how Yu'er protects his wife. He has his own people, they will help take care of things. I can't even protect myself now. I can't even take care of it myself. This family may just fall into ruin step by step.

Nangong Su looked at Xie Qingrou, feeling indescribable powerlessness and regret. He even staggered back two steps while standing still. After a while of ups and downs in his heart, he felt as if a mouthful of blood was stuck in his throat.

Nangong Su turned around quickly and walked out.

When he reached the outside of Wutong Courtyard, he spat out a mouthful of blood and suddenly felt a dull pain in his chest.

Lai Wang, the servant following behind him, stepped forward worriedly and wanted to help him, but Nangong Su gently brushed Lai Wang's hand away and strode out.

He was wrong!

It was wrong for him to welcome Zhu Xinlan back then, and he is wrong again now. He should just shamelessly refuse to sign the divorce agreement.

Even if the Xie family requested an imperial decree, he should be able to exchange the title of marquis for the emperor's disapproval of the divorce.

If they don't divorce, he still has a chance to repair his relationship with Xie Qingrou and Yu'er.

But now I signed it that day.

Nangong Su regretted it so much!

It's no use regretting now, so I was so angry that I spat out blood.

He walked quickly towards the outer courtyard, but when he was about to go out of the door, he saw Qingyi and Moyi hurrying out.

These two people went out in a hurry. It must be that Nangong Yu had arranged something.

After thinking for a while, Nangong Su wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, turned around and said softly:

"Go to the young master's study."

Lai Wang immediately followed and went to the study of the eldest master of Chaohuiyuan.

When they arrived at the door, Huaqi was there. He bowed to Nangong Su, but did not give in.

Nangong Su said calmly:

"Go tell your master that I have something to discuss with him."

Huaqi responded, turned around and ran to the study.

After a while, he drew chess and said:

"My Lord, the young master invites you in."

The Marquis went in, but Lai Wang was kept back by Huaqi.

When the Marquis came in, he saw Shuqi standing in the corridor outside the study. He saluted him and led him into the study.

It’s not that he couldn’t find his son’s study, and this wasn’t his first time here, but he also knew that his son’s study was always closely guarded.

Even he couldn't come in casually, because sometimes there would be secret guards sent by the emperor here.

When Nangong Yu saw his father come in, he stood up to greet him.

"Master Hou."

Nangong Su glared:

"I am your father."

As he spoke, he found a seat and sat down.

Shuqi brought in a cup of tea and went out to wait outside the door.

Nangong Yu stopped talking and returned to his seat.

Nangong Su was furious, but he couldn't do anything about his son:

"I took a close look at the Third Prince's Palace today. The guards in the palace looked very ordinary."

Nangong Yu didn't say anything. He seemed to be writing something and continued writing.

Nangong Su himself seemed to be lost in a memory:

"But it's just so ordinary, I feel it's not right. Because I found that the guards of the three princes' palaces are all relatively old."

The imperial court allowed each royal palace or duke's palace to be equipped with a certain number of guards.

Of course, this type of thing is the open one. There are also some that are secret, which are raised by themselves and do not need to be reported to the court.

And it is these people who guarantee the safety of each government.

However, the people who usually patrol the various prefectures are usually the guards assigned to each prefecture, and these guards are usually selected from the Imperial Guards.

The imperial court would regularly inspect or replace people. Some people would be kept by their masters after they became familiar with the job.

Therefore, these guards are all very young. The Changyong Marquis's Mansion also has them. Bringing these people with you when you go out is a sign of respect.

But today there are many people and things going on in the Third Prince's Palace, so naturally there are guards in every corner to take charge of some security matters.

This kind of people would not attract attention, but the attentive Chang Yonghou went for these people, and naturally observed some differences:

"Their guards are all old. Although they stand tall, some of them are probably older than me."

Nangong Yu was a little surprised. To be honest, he really didn't pay attention to this.

Now after hearing what the Marquis said, he thought about it and realized that it was indeed true.

Nangong Yu stopped writing.

Nangong Su continued:

"The facial features of these people seem too ordinary. If they walk down the street, no one will remember them."

Nangong Yu nodded. He really couldn't remember what anyone looked like. He just knew roughly which corner there was a guard at that time.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
