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

Looking at my son in front of me with his clothes in disarray, I felt a little distressed about his hand problem a few days ago. Now it seems that it is not a problem of his hands, but a problem of his heart.

Nangong Su was very disappointed.

Whether it was Zhu Jia or Zhu Xinlan, one by one they broke the perfect world he thought he had.

The daughter is arrogant and ignorant of the immensity of the world, and the son is now giving up?

Nangong Su turned around and left Lanyue Courtyard, feeling very bad. It was still snowing outside, as cold as his heart.

Lai Fu followed behind him and sighed slightly:

"My Lord, it's almost noon, how about we go sit in the young lady's yard?"

Butler Zhou told him privately that after the Marquis's wife divorced, and the eldest son had never been close to the Marquis, the Marquis felt a little lonely.

Coming out of the Second Young Master's courtyard, the unhappy Marquis looked even lonelier.

So Lai Fu suggested to him that he should go and see the eldest lady.

In the past, whenever the Marquis encountered something unhappy outside, the eldest lady would act coquettishly beside him and the Marquis would smile.

Nangong Su looked at the road leading to Jiangxue Pavilion. He didn't think that he would be in a good mood if he went to his daughter's place. After all, he didn't get a good result the last time he went there.

But it's snowing so heavily, it's good to go and take a look.

Nangong Jiao was also afraid of the cold, so there were two charcoal braziers burning in the room. Fortunately, she was not in bed, at least she was up, and was doing needlework with two personal maids.

When the Marquis came, he asked the maid, and the maid said that the young lady had gotten up and was in the room.

Another maid came over to pay her respects, and the Marquis knew that the young lady was doing needlework. The maid opened the curtain, and after the Marquis went in, the maid informed Nangong Jiao who was in the inner room.

Nangong Jiao came out and was somewhat happy to see the Marquis coming. These days, she was not allowed to leave the yard, and except for the few people she was with, she could not see anyone outside.

"father."

Nangong Jiao wanted to come over happily, and when she was two or three steps forward, she suddenly thought of something, stopped, and saluted.

Nangong Su looked at his daughter who had grown to his shoulders and asked gently:

"doing what?"

“Making clothes.”

The maid Yue'er behind her immediately turned back to the house and brought out the young lady's sewing basket, in which was a piece of white clothing.

"Miss."

Yue'er motioned to Nangong Jiao to show it to Nangong Su.

Nangong Jiao hesitated for a moment before picking up the clothes and unfolding them. It was obviously a men's undershirt.

Nangong Jiao said softly:

"Mother's injury hasn't healed yet, so she can't make clothes. Thank you... Madam has passed away again. Mother Tang said that no one makes underwear for father and brother. I happen to have a few pieces of fine brocade for underwear, so I want to make one for father. I don't know how to sew, so Yue'er helped me sew."

Nangong Su was immediately moved.

The daughter still thinks about herself, now she has grown up and knows how to feel sorry for her father.

Nangong Su became a little gentler:

"It's cold, don't get cold. It's snowing heavily. Ask the maids to watch over the charcoal fire for you."

"Dad, I'm not cold, it's just... it's probably mom who is cold. Mom is injured again and has been lying in bed. The maids are gone. Nanny Yue is gone too. She..."

As she spoke, Nangong Jiao's voice became lower and lower, and she buried her head. Her shoulders twitched, and it was obvious that she was crying in suppressed tears.

Nangong Su frowned:

"Don't cry."

Nangong Jiao knelt down with a plop:

"Dad, I want to go see Mom. I promise, I won't go out again. I just want to go see Mom. I don't know if those people...those people are taking good care of Mom."

Nangong Su sighed heavily, stretched out his hand and pulled his daughter up:

"Let's go, I'll take you there."

No matter what, this is a child. It is normal for a child to miss his mother.

Besides, my daughter is well-behaved and sensible now, so I can just take her to see Zhu.

Nangong Jiao was stunned for a moment, then she shouted happily:

"Yue'er, bring me my cloak."

Nangong Jiao was very excited because not only could she go to see her mother, but she could also bring her father with her.

Last time I wanted to take Dad with me, but it ended up making Dad even angrier at Mom.

This time, it was Dad who took the initiative to visit Mom. It seemed that after that lady left, Dad remembered Mom's kindness again.

Nangong Jiao happily put on her cloak with the help of Yue'er and Yu'er, and held Nangong Su's arm, leaning against her father as intimately as when she was a child:

"Come on, Dad. Let's go see Mom."

Nangong Su felt very comforted by his daughter's coquettish behavior.

They arrived at Qinlan Courtyard together. Qinlan Courtyard is a general name, but actually it consists of four very small courtyards. To say that the courtyard is big is an exaggeration. In fact, it is a row of houses separated by a flower wall. With one flower wall between every two houses, it seems to have become a small courtyard.

Living here are Nangong Su's concubines, Aunt Zhou and Aunt Xia.

Aunt Zhou’s daughter is one year younger than Nangong Jiao. She is thirteen years old this year and her name is Nangong Rao.

After having a daughter, Aunt Zhou was content with everything and didn't want to confront Xiao Zhu at all. She didn't fight and just wanted to raise her daughter.

The only time Nangong Rao could see her family members was when the old marquis’ wife celebrated her birthday or the New Year. Otherwise, when Xiao Zhu was in charge, she could not see Nangong Su.

Because Xiao Zhu didn't want anyone to share her daughter's favor.

The last time the Marquis came to stay overnight at Aunt Zhou's place, he actually didn't see his daughter because the child was asleep when he came, and was still asleep when he left for the morning court.

After he left, Nangong Rao was really sad.

Nangong Rao, who was helping to sweep snow in the yard today, dropped her broom and ran out when she heard the gatekeeper say that she had met the Marquis.

When I was happily about to call him dad, I saw Nangong Jiao holding the Marquis's hand.

Nangong Rao instinctively shrank back. The Marquis was turning his head to the side at the time and did not see Nangong Rao come out, so he shrank back again, but Nangong Jiao saw it.

Nangong Jiao glared at Nangong Rao fiercely, and Nangong Rao carefully retreated behind the door of her own small courtyard.

There are four small courtyards in a row in the Qinlan Courtyard. Aunt Zhou lives in the first courtyard, while Xiao Zhu, who moved in last, lives in the last courtyard.

So if they want to get there, they have to go all the way to the end.

Nangong Rao could only hide behind the door quietly, watching his father talking gently to Nangong Jiao.

She could only envy secretly.

Aunt Zhou was reminded by the maid and found Nangong Rao crying behind the door. She hurried over to ask what happened, and Mu'er, the little maid next to Nangong Rao, told her what happened just now.

Aunt Zhou paused, stretched her head and looked, and saw that the Marquis had already walked through the second courtyard.

After thinking for a while, she brought her daughter back to the house and found a piece of coarse cloth that Mu'er wore for work and put it on her daughter.

Nangong Rao:

"Auntie, why am I wearing this?"

"You listen to your mother."
