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

Nangong Su came to his daughter's side and had a meal with her.

Let Shuqi go and get his share. Of course, as a marquis, his food is much better than his daughter's.

He just ate quietly, but Nangong Jiao kept complaining about the bad food.

Nangong Su had been to the border town to some extent. He looked at the food Nangong Jiao was eating and to be honest, it was much better than when he was a general in the border town.

Moreover, he also listened and knew that housekeeper Xie Qingrou did not deliberately say that the West Courtyard should be treated harshly. She was just citing the system. A concubine's child should be treated according to the share of a concubine's child.

This is just getting back on track.

Nangong Su did not respond to every complaint from his daughter. He only said after the meal was over and the servants took away the dishes:

"Jiao'er, your father didn't teach you well before, but now you should have correctly realized that you are a concubine's child, and you should be clear about it. Your mother has always spoiled you, do you really think you are a legitimate child?"

"Now, there is nothing to be sorry about. You have seen other families' daughters when you went out, so you know how other families' illegitimate daughters live. So, by comparison, aren't you living a better life?"

"You said the food is not good, but I've seen that your share is not bad. Jiao'er, knowing your own position will be more beneficial to your future life. You are still young now, and in the future... your mother will not be able to manage the household anymore. You have to make plans for your own future."

"In this mansion, stop complaining and don't underestimate Gu Ruoxi. You'd better listen to her in the future, because she has your eldest brother behind her."

Nangong Jiao was so aggrieved that her eyes were filled with tears:

"Dad, you still say your daughter is not wronged? Look at what your daughter eats, it's just like pig food. Do you still say your daughter is not wronged?"

"You said your daughter was born out of wedlock, so isn't Gu Ruoxi a bastard? A person who is not presentable is also being appointed as the housekeeper. What is the Marquis' wife going to do?"

Nangong Jiao was very angry. Who was Gu Ruoxi? She was a bastard daughter who was worse than herself. She stole Gu Ruolan's bridal sedan and was lucky that the damn Nangong Yu was not dead. So she treated her as a treasure?

Nangong Jiao said this casually, and Nangong Su's pain was aroused again. He sighed heavily and said:

"From now on, there will be no more Marquis's wife."

Then he left.

After Nangong Su left, Nangong Jiao turned around and looked at the two girls in astonishment, and asked in a low voice:

"What did my father just say? What did he mean when he said there will be no more Marquis' wives in the future?"

Yue Er shook her head and said:

"That's what the Marquis said, but I don't know what it means."

Yu'er frowned and thought about what she had heard today:

"Miss, that's not right. I'm afraid there's something we don't know. Have you forgotten that when we went to see the Marquis at noon, the Marquis's wife said, 'I will leave in a few days.' Now the Marquis said that there will be no Marquis's wife in the future, and also said that the young lady will be the head of the family in the future."

Thinking of this, Yu'er, the think tank in this courtyard, suddenly lowered her voice and said:

"Miss, is the Marquis going to divorce the Marquis's wife? Will there be no Marquis's wife in the future?"

Several people put their heads together and thought about it. It made sense that someone could say such a thing. Besides, Nangong Yu had also resigned from the position of Crown Prince. Well, it seemed that this was the case!

Nangong Jiao suddenly thought of something:

"Light a lantern and let's go to mother's yard and take a look."

Yu'er and Yue'er hurriedly made arrangements, and they accompanied the young lady to Zhu Xinlan's Yingchun Courtyard.

After the Zhu family came to make trouble, the old marquis's Jing'an Hall really became quiet. Because Zhu Xinlan was moved back to Yingchun Courtyard, the old marquis's wife was able to live out her retirement in peace.

The servants in Yingchun Courtyard are all Nangong Yu's people.

They received Nangong Yu's order to be a dutiful servant and take care of Zhu Xinlan as long as she was alive.

So, when they saw Nangong Jiao quietly coming to find Zhu Xinlan late at night, the nanny in charge of the courtyard saluted, but also made a gesture behind her.

A little girl behind him cleverly and quietly went to the room where Zhu Xinlan was lying. Of course, Zhu Xinlan didn't notice.

The person guarding Zhu Xinlan saw her hiding in a closet on the side, but she didn't say a word.

Then, she saw Nangong Jiao come in with Yue'er and Yu'er, and she knew what was going on. She still bowed to Nangong Jiao:

"I've met the eldest lady."

Nangong Jiao hummed in her nose and waved her hand gently, as if she was disgusted:

"You go down, I'll stay with my mother."

The girl said nothing, just bowed and left.

Zhu Xinlan, who was pretending to sleep with her eyes closed, quickly opened her eyes when she heard her daughter's voice.

Nangong Jiao hurriedly sat down next to her mother and waved her hand. Yu'er and Yue'er looked around and both went out and stood guard at the door, leaving Nangong Jiao and Zhu Xinlan inside.

When Zhu Xinlan saw her daughter, she naturally asked her daughter how she was doing now. Of course, while asking, she scolded everyone in the East Courtyard, from the masters to the servants.

The mother and daughter worked together, cursing and crying about their bad luck, blaming everyone and everything, which made people feel dizzy just by listening to them.

After letting out a sigh of relief, Nangong Jiao whispered:

"Mom, I came to you today because I want to tell you something. You are smarter, so think about what is going on."

Then, Nangong Jiao told her mother in detail about the people and things she had encountered today, and also told her mother about Yu'er's analysis.

Zhu Xinlan's heart was pounding when she heard this. Is this true?

Is this true?

In this case, don't I still have a chance?

"Jiao'er, Jiao'er!"

Zhu Xinlan was so excited that she wanted to get up. She stretched out her hands twice, but her body was in so much pain that she couldn't get up.

The pain made Zhu Xinlan calm down immediately, and then she said:

"Jiao'er, don't panic! Can you go out now?"

Nangong Jiao nodded and said:

"Well, Dad told me to tell him if I want to go out, and he would arrange guards to follow me. Then I can go out."

"Come here with your ears."

Nangong Jiao lowered her body, and Zhu Xinlan whispered something in Nangong Jiao's ear. The little girl in the closet couldn't hear it, and she was a little anxious, but she didn't dare to move.

Nangong Jiao only replied:

"Okay, then what do you think, Mom, did Dad really divorce his wife?"

Zhu Xinlan sneered:

"Don't believe it. If your father dared to divorce his wife, he would have done it long ago. Didn't we hear that the head of the Xie family came to the capital? The Xie family has the confidence. I'm afraid it's not a divorce, but a divorce."

Nangong Jiao didn't care whether it was divorce or a divorce. Anyway, as long as Madam Xie left, her mother would be the closest lady to her father in the mansion. Then her mother would become the principal wife and she would become the legitimate daughter.

I didn’t expect happiness to come so quickly?
