Chapter 541 Nangong Xuan Takes Action

Even though Lord Nangong had been on the battlefield, his heart trembled when he saw the person standing there.

"Yu'er!"

He exclaimed. Nangong Yu said calmly:

"Those are the people he brought to the other courtyard. I checked and found that they are all from the martial arts world. They are assassins. They are assassins who are paid by the head."

Nangong Su still didn't quite believe it:

"No, how could Xuan'er kill your mother! She...she is his stepmother, he..."

Nangong Yu snorted coldly:

"Stepmother? Have you taught him that it's stepmother? You haven't taught him that, have you? Has he ever called her mother? No. Why? Isn't it all because of your indulgence?"

Nangong Yu’s words hit Nangong Su’s heart directly!

I thought about how my life has become more and more absurd over the past year, and that before, no, it wasn’t good before either. I just thought it was good.

That woman had never really paid attention to me. Especially when the child was getting married, she was even more determined to divorce me.

Nangong Su looked at Nangong Yu, and the look in Nangong Yu’s eyes became more and more unfamiliar, as if he no longer treated him as his father.

Yes, ever since he woke up from the poisoning, he never called himself father, but always called himself Marquis from afar.

Nangong Su looked down at his son with blood in his mouth. Nangong Su now completely believed that it was Nangong Xuan who did it. He led people to assassinate Xie!

But now seeing his mouth full of blood, Nangong Su didn't know what to do.

Nangong Yu said coldly:

"This Marquis' Mansion has long been rotten. If it weren't for his last name being Nangong, he would be just like the people outside. I have now sent him to you, so you can handle it yourself."

"Butler Zhou."

Nangong Yu shouted loudly.

When Butler Zhou saw the man in green cutting off the heads of those people one by one with his sword, he knew that something big was going to happen in the mansion.

Hearing Nangong Yu's call, he immediately stood at the door of the study:

"Go to the backyard and check the accounts with the young lady's maids Qingqiu and Ruyue. Then, we will take away all the servants of the Xie family. Wutong Courtyard and Chaohui Courtyard will be returned to the Marquis' Mansion."

Nangong Su raised his head fiercely:

"What do you mean by returning it to the Marquis' Mansion?"

Nangong Yu smiled coldly:

"This mansion is yours from now on. Xi'er and I will move out."

Nangong Su was shaking with anger. He put Nangong Xuan down, stood up and rushed to Nangong Yu:

"Don't forget, your last name is Nangong too!"

Nangong Yu said coldly:

"I am also ashamed of my last name, Nangong!"

"you dare!"

Nangong Yu took a step forward. Nangong Su wanted to stop him, but he involuntarily took a step back.

"Yu'er, what are you angry about? Your mother wanted to divorce, and you told me to divorce, and I agreed. You told me not to leave the house and not to go to court, and I agreed. Now you come back and say this, you..."

Nangong Yu looked at him coldly and said:

"Grandfather said before he passed away that you are a person who cannot be helped. As expected, you really are a person who cannot be helped. Now I know why Grandfather sighed before he died."

"Do you think you can just stay in this mansion? You are the Marquis, you are the father, if you can't manage this family well, you should take good care of your children. But what? When Xi'er took over as the housekeeper, he controlled all the money in his yard."

"And now, he has the money to hire assassins. These assassins are not cheap."

"Where did you get the money? Huh? You have quite a lot of stuff in your private vault, right?"

Nangong Yu was very angry. When he came back, he heard the servant who was monitoring Nangong Xuan say that the Marquis had visited him, felt sorry for Nangong Xuan, and thought that he was disabled, so he gave him his own private money.

When Nangong Yu and Gu Ruoxi went to the north, Nangong Xuan began to leave the backyard. The Marquis did not care more and even assigned someone to protect him.

This is the son that I raised and spoiled, and he is indeed more attentive.

When Nangong Yu heard this, he thought about how Nangong Xuan walked out of the yard and actually used the money to hire a killer to kill his mother and wife.

Fortunately, Xi'er had supernatural powers. At that time, I really didn't expect that someone would want to kill them, although I left Jiuxi and a few guards in the other courtyard.

But at the fifth watch, when everyone was still asleep, what were they doing in the courtyard at that time? They were planning to kill everyone in the courtyard.

This murderous intent alone is enough to kill Nangong Xuan several times.

Nangong Yu brought the person back and handed him over to the Marquis. Taking this opportunity, he had a legitimate reason and the family left the Marquis' Mansion.

Nangong Yu had wanted to leave this marquisate for a long time. This time the emperor gave him a chance, and Nangong Xuan seized it.

Nangong Yu didn't want to pay any attention to his father. No matter how he troubled, this marquisate would be finished after sending him away.

Nangong Yu snorted, reached out and pulled Nangong Su away, then strode out of the study.

Butler Zhou had no choice but to follow. He had to go and see how the young lady was going to hand over the accounts. He had a headache.

What should we do with this marquisate in the future?

Gu Ruoxi, Qingqiu and Ruyue cleared the account books in the mansion, and asked Shuqi to notify the servants who were originally Madam Xie's people, and then directly informed them that they could move.

There are two choices: you can work at Mrs. Xie's house, or you can go back to Jiangnan and work at the Xie family's old house.

Because most of these members of the Xie family are the sons of servants in Jiangnan, and they all have families still living in the old house of the Xie family.

After asking them all, they all agreed to go to Mrs. Xie's house.

Because they have been with Xie Qingrou for more than 20 years, the older ones have developed feelings for her, and the younger ones were all born in the capital and are now returning to Jiangnan. The servants in Jiangnan all have their own duties, and they may not be valued if they return.

It would be better to follow the young master and the young lady, because the young master is very favored by the emperor.

So when they knew that the young master was going to be sent away, they chose to stay in Madam Xie's house first.

Qingqiu asked them to go back and pack their luggage, and then prepare to leave the mansion.

Housekeeper Zhou came to count them in person. The indentures of these people were originally from Madam Xie. Moreover, since Madam Xie brought them to the Marquis' Mansion, their monthly allowances were all paid by Madam Xie. In other words, the Nangong Marquis' Mansion had not burdened them at all except for letting them live there.

So, when talking about leaving Nangong Mansion, they did not feel reluctant at all.

Seeing Butler Zhou coming, Gu Ruoxi put down the account books in Chaohui Courtyard that she was cleaning up, pointed to another pile of account books and said:

"Qingqiu, go check the accounts with the housekeeper first, and count the items in the storeroom for him. Then call the accountant and check the money on the account with the money in the accountant's hands. If there is any discrepancy, we will make up the difference first. Then we handed the account to housekeeper Zhou."

Butler Zhou was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead:

"Madam, why is this happening? Young Master, how can you hand in all the accounts? The Marquis didn't ask you to hand in all the accounts."

Butler Zhou realized that if he accepted this account, it would be a disaster. The eldest son no longer cared about the mansion.

The Marquis really doesn't go to court anymore. All the glory of this mansion was earned by the eldest son. Without the eldest son, the whole mansion would be even more destitute than the Ningyuan Marquisate.

Nangong Yu said on the side:

"I'm going to be sent out, so I'll take the young mistress with me. Butler Zhou, this house is now in your hands. We probably won't come back. Even if we have the chance to return to the capital, we won't return to this mansion."

"We will move all our things this time, and these two courtyards will be handed back to the Marquis' Mansion. It is up to the Marquis to decide who will live there in the future. We will not interfere anymore."

Butler Zhou was shocked when he heard this, because the eldest son had not told the Marquis that he was going to be sent away.

Butler Zhou said hurriedly:

"Where are you going, young master?"

"Golden Phoenix Mansion."

Butler Zhou was the one who worked outside, so he naturally knew what the Golden Phoenix Mansion meant now.

The Golden Phoenix Mansion was used by the Seventh Prince to rebel. Now the Emperor must hand it over to the person he trusts the most. Everyone knows what is in the Golden Phoenix Mansion. Now the Emperor lets Nangong Yu go, which shows his great trust and reuse.

As expected, the eldest son is the one who wins the emperor’s favor.

But it's useless if I know it alone, the Marquis must also know it.

Butler Zhou said tremblingly:

"Then, these two courtyards should be reserved for the eldest master. Isn't it said that the young mistress is pregnant with the young master? From now on, the young master can still live in Chaohui Courtyard."

Nangong Yu said no, and said no more, but started to urge Shuqi and Huaqi to pack up some things in his study.

There were still some things in the study that he had to pack himself, so Nangong Yu gave instructions:

"Jiuxi, you accompany the young lady to hand over the account book to Butler Zhou. Shuqi Huaqi, bring the box and follow me."

There was really nothing to clean up in Wutong Courtyard. The few remaining porcelain ornaments were all left by Xie Qingrou.

Gu Ruoxi didn't have a deep impression of these things, so she asked Qingqiu to take care of it. Qingqiu had been with the Marquis's wife for more than ten years, so she naturally knew which ones Xie Qingrou liked, which ones to pack, and which ones not to pack.

Wutong Courtyard was extremely busy, and the doctor invited by the Marquis could only help Nangong Xuan stop the bleeding, and could not do anything else. His tongue was crushed, and a few pieces of minced meat were swallowed by Nangong Xuan in a panic.

It was definitely impossible to recover, but the bleeding was stopped.

The Marquis had just settled Nangong Xuan. Butler Zhou hurried over again:

"My Lord, the eldest son is really moving away. Not only has he handed over all the accounts, but he has also taken all the original members of the Xie family with him."

"The eldest son said that he was going to be sent out and would not come back."

The Marquis got anxious when he heard this, and rushed to the backyard to take a look. There were many servants standing in front of the Wutong Courtyard, all standing together as families. Qingqiu was giving these people a lecture:

"From now on, you will go to the residence of our eldest daughter of the Xie family. In a few days, the eldest daughter will return to the residence to make some selections and assign tasks to you."

At this moment, Shuqi came over and called a few men away:

"Come here and help move the young master's things to Madam Shu's house."

We have to move to the Xie family and then to the Shu family.

Nangong Su rushed to Chaohui Courtyard and looked at Nangong Yu who was cleaning the study:

"Yuer! You...you want to be able to play it outside?"

Nangong Yu raised his head and glanced at him:

"Yes."

"You don't need to move to the outside world, Yu'er, do you know what you are doing?"

Nangong Yu didn't stop and continued:

"You don't have to worry about this. Should I stay here and wait to be killed? My mother was hired to kill even after she moved away from here. If I stay in this mansion, won't my wife be in greater danger if I'm not here?"

Nangong Yu's words made Nangong Su even more sad:

"No one will harm her! Yu'er, you can't move out of this house!"

Nangong Yu smiled sarcastically:

"You call this home? I have never considered this place my home since I was a child. Other people's homes are not like this. My home has never been complete. I have always known that my home is where my mother is. Now that I have married, my home is where my wife is."

Nangong Su was speechless again.

But he alone couldn't stop Nangong Yu from moving out of the Marquis' Mansion.

With the help of the servants of the Xie family, they moved boxes of things from the back door to Mrs. Shu's yard and handed them over to Yinggu and Liu Changsheng for care.

Yinggu and Liu Changsheng were Nangong Yu's people. Madam Shu seldom returned to this small courtyard now, but they still guarded it well.

Having received Qingyi's reminder long ago, they arranged for people to stack the packed boxes one by one into the warehouse. They did not plan to open them, but only to register the accounts according to the list handed over.

Lord Nangong was unable to stop it and fainted from anger. The butler called his attendant and carried him back to the outer courtyard.

When Aunt Zhou heard that the Marquis had fainted, she was also shocked and hurried out to see what was going on. She also heard that Nangong Yu was packing up to move out of the Marquis' Mansion.

Aunt Zhou was a little panicked at the moment.

She naturally knew that the Marquis was now a past-time Marquis. If the Marquisate wanted to live a better life, it could only rely on Nangong Yu.

But if Nangong Yu moved away, what would happen to her son and daughter?

With Nangong Yu as my elder brother, and also a little bit of connection with the Xie family, my daughter's marriage should be easier to deal with. Also, my son has just been born, how will he live in the future?

Just as Aunt Zhou arrived at the study to see the Marquis, Xiao Zhu, who had heard the news from the backyard, also rushed in.

She received news that Nangong Xuan was killed by Nangong Yu.

After her face was ruined, the Marquis completely cut off contact with her because of the divorce. Even though Nangong Jiao made several efforts, the Marquis never went to see her again.

She had long been forgotten in that corner of the backyard.

On the other hand, Aunt Zhou, who came out from that corner, now looks well-fed and no longer has the sickly look she had before.

"My Lord, My Lord, where is Xuan'er? How is Xuan'er?"

Xiao Zhu rushed in, and Aunt Zhou subconsciously took a step back and shrank back.

This is a stress response to the appearance of Mr. Komoro.
