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

The expressions of Xiao Zhu and Lao Zhu both changed.

Even the Marquis looked at Nangong Yu:

"Yuer, this is a family matter!"

He felt that family matters should be dealt with at home.

Lord Shen is the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture. He is a well-known official who is upright and selfless, and never gives face to any nobles. However, he is very favored by the emperor.

Qingyi and Moyi took their men and left directly, and the Marquis couldn't stop them.

Isn't it really embarrassing for such an ugly matter to be brought to court?

Nangong Yu slightly pulled the corner of his mouth:

"Although I am only a servant of the Emperor and receive only a sixth-rank salary, I am still an official in the court. Do you think that murdering an official is a family matter, Lord? There is no Nangong in the world, right?"

"Besides, as far as I know, she is just a servant, and a family-born child. Her ancestors have been servants for generations, but she bought a three-courtyard house in the capital. My Lord, the wages you pay to servants in your mansion are higher than the salary given by the court. As a marquis, your annual salary can't buy a house in the capital, right?"

"So, Lord, I am helping you investigate the case of Nu Da bullying his master."

Gu Ruoxi didn't understand some things, such as "a servant bullies his master" and "a servant can't buy a house?" But she knew how to read things, and everyone present looked unhappy.

When Xiao Zhu heard what Prince Nangong said, she said in panic:

"No, it's impossible. It won't happen. Lord, Xiao Cheng and his wife are very efficient. Don't wrongly accuse them. Lord, Xiao Cheng is my wet nurse's youngest son, and Xiao Cheng's daughter is my maid. Lord, you said that Xiao Cheng is very capable."

"Sir, you have married a new wife and want to take charge of the household affairs of the Marquis' Mansion. If you do this, won't it hurt the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion?"

The old marquis's wife seemed to have realized that this was an attempt to snatch the family's food!

"Yu'er, you are going too far. The Xiao family has been working for our Hou family for many years and is very trustworthy. If there is any mistake, just investigate it at home. Why do you have to bring it to court? The Nangong family can't afford to lose this person!"

"Mrs. Xie, you are such an ungrateful person. You have returned all the dowry. Doesn't the bride have a penny now? So you want to take over the feeding?"

After hearing what the old marquis' wife said, the marquis also turned around and looked over.

Xie Qingrou and Nangong Yu looked calm and ignored the groundless accusations.

Xie Qingrou took Gu Ruoxi's hand and sat down, saying slowly:

"When I was pregnant with Yu'er that year, I didn't fight back when you were calculating the household expenses of the Marquis' Mansion. Do you really think I couldn't win at that time? I have seen the accounts of the Marquis' Mansion. To be honest, that little money is not even enough for 30% of my dowry. How could I watch it?"

"Over the years, my entire Wutong Courtyard and my son's Chaohui Courtyard have not used a penny from your Nangong family. Even the monthly wages of the servants in my courtyard are paid by me."

"You family members are keeping a close eye on the household expenses of this Marquis' Mansion because you want to use the money to support your own families. I despise you! My Xie family does not need help from married women!"

"As for my daughter-in-law, it doesn't matter if she doesn't have a dowry. I can afford to support her. She brought a lot of blessings to my son and helped him wake up. My Xie family will never be able to repay this dowry. If she wants money, I have the Xie family!"

Gu Ruoxi understood these words completely.

He reached out and hugged Xie Qingrou and said with a smile:

"Mother is mighty and domineering! The prince said that it doesn't matter if I have no money. In the future, all his assets will be handed over to me. Besides, I have hands and feet, so I can earn money myself."

Xie Qingrou looked at Nangong Yu gently, then continued to look at the old Marquis's wife and the Marquis and said:

"Before, you always excluded me and my son. I never paid any attention to you. Do you think I'm easy to bully? Or are you used to bullying?"

"Nangong Su, I still say the same thing. We mother and son don't care about the Marquis' wife or the prince! I used to want to give Yu'er some face. At least he has a family. Now I don't need to do that anymore. He has a wife too."

"Yu'er, I've been trapped here for too long. You narrowly escaped death this time, and I understand a lot. You should understand it too. I want to live my own life, so I've written a letter to your grandparents. When they reply, I'll ask for permission to divorce you."

Nangong Yu clenched his fists!

His mother's life was wasted because of him. However, Nangong Yu felt very uncomfortable when he thought that his mother would live alone after the divorce.

Chang Yonghou's face flushed red. He originally thought it was just a farce, and it would calm down after a quarrel at home. Now he was talking about divorce!

"Xie! I think you are crazy!"

Xie Qingrou did not yell at him like she did that night, but just said calmly:

"I told you on the night of Yu'er's wedding that if you had checked who wanted to harm Yu'er that night, I would have looked up to you. But you didn't, and now it's time to go back to your parents' home, and you haven't found anything, right?"

"Didn't I say I wouldn't check? Xuan'er sprained his leg and got hurt. I...I'll wait until he recovers before asking. You..."

Chang Yonghou's face froze. Yes, it was he who kept delaying.

In fact, he knew what it was in his heart, but he just didn't want to reveal some things. He thought Yu'er was alive and some things were over.

Now that Xie said this, the Marquis suddenly felt very panicked.

At this moment, a man rushed in from outside the courtyard gate:

"It's not good, my lord, it's not good, my lord."

The one who rushed in was Lai Wang, the Marquis's servant.

Lai Wang didn't care who else was in the room. He rushed in, knelt down and replied:

"My Lord, the Second Young Master and the Prince of Ning had a fight. The Second Young Master scratched the Prince of Ning's face, and the Prince of Ning's men broke the Second Young Master's arm."

"What! Where is the Second Young Master?"

When Marquis Changyong heard that he had a fight with Prince Ning, he had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Lai Wang said:

"In Zhongfanglou, they were competing for today's most beautiful lady. Then they started fighting."

Nangong Yu said coldly:

"Didn't the second young master sprain his leg? Who let him out?"

Lai Wang was stunned for a moment, and said honestly:

"The second young master is not injured. He took a few people to go horseback riding and play ball this morning. In the afternoon, the Zhongfangyuan will select the Oiran, and the young masters will go there."

"Hehe, hehe, hehe, this is the second young master who sprained his foot that the Marquis mentioned."

Xie Qingrou stood up, chuckled, took Gu Ruoxi by the hand, and called in two more guards:

"Let's go, Yu'er, Xi'er, you are tired today, go back and rest."

The Marquis's face turned from red to white, from white to blue, and from blue to black due to the Marquis's wife's cold smile...

Looking at the three of them and the chicken, who were about to walk out of Jing'an Hall as if nothing had happened, the Marquis opened his mouth but didn't utter a word.

Xiao Zhu was already panicking because Xiao Cheng's family was taken to Jingzhao Prefecture.

She asked these two people to do many of her private matters.

Now that they have taken all the children of that family in, how can we control them?

If we can't control them, they will definitely confess.

When Xiao Zhu heard Lai Wang say that his son's arm was broken, she forgot about covering up the fact that her son did not sprain his foot.

She only begged the Marquis to go see where her son was and rescue him, and then asked Nanny Zhu by her side to call the imperial physician. For a moment, Jing'an Hall was no longer peaceful, but was filled with chaos.

The old marquis' wife witnessed today the power of the easily controlled Xie family, and before she could recover from the fight, she heard about the fight between Xuan'er and Princess Ning.

Xiao Zhu is useless and is only worried about her son, but the old marquis's wife is worried about the Marquis Changyong's Mansion.

When she saw the Marquis's wife was about to leave, she immediately shouted:

"Xie, you are familiar with the Third Prince's Consort. You should quickly prepare a valuable gift and go to the Third Prince's Mansion to ask for a favor."

Lord Changyong suddenly remembered that Prince Ning was the second son of the Third Prince, and the Third Prince was the Emperor's uncle.

The emperor has always valued this uncle's family very much.

Thinking of this, he also looked at Xie Qingrou.
