Since Nan Mo has become a minister, Nan Zhi naturally no longer has to cling to the King of Lu City. There are many more opportunities in Jiankang City than in Lu City. With his character, he will naturally defect to Nan Mo.
When He Mucheng saw Nan Mo's easy-going look, he immediately guessed Nan Mo's character.
He is a moderate person who puts his family first in everything. When he gains power, he will also promote other relatives of the Nan family. Even Nan Yan's elder brother Nan Ting is also kind.
But Nan Zhi was different. He was a true villain who followed the influence of others. In order to gain power, he would sacrifice his own daughter. Even when he came to Jiankang, he was unwilling to take Nan Yue with him and let her fend for herself in the Lucheng Palace.
He Mucheng wouldn't believe it even to death. Nan Yue was originally treated as a guest by the King of Lu City to recruit talents. Nan Zhineng couldn't hear the slightest news. He was just pretending to be deaf and dumb.
Even his biological daughter can do this. How could he willingly succumb to his distant concubine who once had a lower status than himself?
Thinking of this, she glanced at Nanzhi defensively, but she saw a smile on his face, a very kind smile, "Ayan, if you can come back safely, my uncle is relieved!"
He Mucheng sneered in his heart, symbolically blessing his body.
"Ayan, this is your mother. If you need anything after you return home, just tell her directly." Nan Mo pointed at a dignified woman.
"Mother." He Mucheng lowered his eyebrows and bowed, then turned to Shi Hong and said, "Hong'er, don't be so stupid. You'll see your mother soon."
Shi Hong bowed respectfully and said, "I have met my mother."
The woman's eyes suddenly became a little uneasy the moment she saw Shi Hong. She nodded slightly and asked Nan Mo in a low voice, "Master Husband, I never heard that you have a bastard?"
Nan Mo opened his mouth and looked at He Mucheng in embarrassment.
"Hong'er is the daughter of my aunt from outside the family, and my father only knew about it." He winked at Nan Mo as he spoke.
Nan Mo nodded hastily.
The woman glanced at Nan Mo, snorted coldly, turned around and left.
Another girl followed closely behind, "Mom, wait for me!"
He Mucheng looked at the girl's back, thinking that this must be Nan Mo's legitimate daughter Nan Zhao.
There is a brief description in the book that Nan Zhao was originally a leader in the circle of noble ladies, but Nan Yu used some tricks to slowly replace Nan Zhao's position.
And the reason why Nan Yu was able to hang out in the chatting circle and get along with the young masters of the aristocratic families was because he stepped on Nan Zhao and rose to power.
When Nan Mo saw the woman leaving, he looked at He Mucheng for help. Seeing that she had not compromised, he had no choice but to stamp his feet and chase after her.
"He is still a strict wife. If that's the case, why should he keep a concubine?" He Mucheng chuckled nonchalantly.
She shouted to the carriage following behind her, "Dong Ning, Xiqian, Beizhi, come with me back home tonight. I will take you home tomorrow and explain it to your family in person."
The carriage came to a halt, and the three people arrived and walked into the gate of Nanfu under the guidance of the butler.
Several people were led by the maid to the west chamber. He Mucheng slowly arrived at the courtyard with his maid, Feng Chenwen.
When everyone was packing their bags, Nan Yu finally came to the door.
When He Mucheng saw Nan Yu coming, he looked at each other with Dong Ning, Xiqian and Beizhi, and came to her alone.
"He is not your brother, he is Shi Hong, the crown prince of the Zhao Kingdom," Nan Yu looked at He Mucheng with a half-smile, and said provocatively, "Nan Yan, you are so brave! How dare you kill Zhao Kingdom's
The prince stays with you, do you think that if His Majesty knew about it, would he still be alive?"
He Musheng also looked back with a half-smile, "Ah Yu, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
"Nan Yan, don't pretend to be crazy!" Nan Yu's face began to become distorted, "Why did you come to Jiankang? Why didn't you die in Zhao country?"
"Oh~ Ah Yu is afraid that I will spread the news about your elopement," He Musheng nodded with sudden realization, "That's right, Ah Yu, you are so smart, but you were just young and impulsive and did something wrong. It's not a crime.
At this point, don't worry, as long as you don't mess with me, I won't tell anyone."
"It's obviously you who slandered me!" Nan Yu was so angry that he burst into tears. "If you want Shi Hong to live peacefully in my Nan family, then keep your mouth shut. Otherwise, I will definitely let him die without a burial place!"
"Ah Yu, what I hate most in my life is being threatened." He Musheng's fingertips brushed across Nan Yu's chin, he tightened his fingers and smiled lazily, "If you talk to me nicely, please
, I might consider it again.”
"You...do you really don't care about his life or death?" Nan Yu looked at He Mucheng's nonchalant look in astonishment, feeling a little puzzled for a moment.
He Mucheng looked at her and said seriously, "Shi Hong has been killed by Shi Hu, and Shi Hu has become the king. The affairs of Zhao State have come to an end. Ah Yu, go and tell His Majesty now that Shi Hong is building
Kang, will he believe it?"
Having said this, she released her restraints in disgust and clapped her palms, "Even if Your Majesty believes it, in the past, if Shi Hong was captured, he could be used as a hostage to threaten Shi Le not to invade our Jin territory. Now Shi Hu wants to kill Shi Hong."
Then, if you catch Shi Hong quickly, what will your Majesty get?"
After Nan Yu heard this, he staggered back a step.
He Mucheng looked at her appearance and sneered, "Ah Yu, you just want fame and character, but don't forget that if you secretly hide the heir of the Jie clan, the Nan family will also be implicated. Without the Nan clan,
No matter how strong your character is, Nan Yu, what's the difference between you and the prostitute in the brothel?"
Nan Yu trembled his lower lip, finally feeling fearful.
He Mucheng waved his hands in low spirits, "Also, this is my Nan family, the Lord Attendant is my father, and Nan Zhi is just a fool. If you want to live a stable life, be a good person and treat me well."
Be polite, I'm in a good mood, so I won't cause trouble for you."
After saying this, she turned around and walked back to the courtyard, slamming the door behind her.
At this time, Ah Ying was already waiting at the door of the bedroom. When she saw He Mucheng coming back, she briskly picked up the hem of her skirt and ran to her side, "Girl, we are finally home!"
"Yeah, I'm finally home..." He Mucheng repeated.
The group of maidservants who followed him could be regarded as having experienced life and death. They had witnessed Shi Sui's cruelty in Zhao State before, and now that they came to Jiankang, they had truly gone from hell to heaven.
He Mucheng thought and secretly made up his mind. After Ji Yunyuan left Jiankang, she would not take them with her. Leaving them to live a stable life in Nan's house would be a way to repay their companionship along the way.
Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly saw a black shadow coming from the darkness. Just as Ah Ying was about to scream, a sharp sword was pressed against her neck.
"It's me!" A low, cold voice came into his ears.
He Mucheng frowned slightly and said displeasedly, "Don't scare her. My maid is timid. It's not like you don't know that."
Ah Ying came back to her senses and hurriedly blessed her body, "I've met General Ji!"
Ji Yunyuan stepped closer, but saw Ah Ying hurriedly protecting He Mucheng, "General, please stay, this is the girl's boudoir, General Ji... is too presumptuous!"
How not to be presumptuous? Now we are building Kangcheng and this is Nanfu. How can Ji Yunyuan be so arrogant? If he is not careful, he will be labeled as having an affair with a foreigner.
But He Mucheng didn't care. She smiled helplessly, "Ah Ying, General Ji has something important to do with me. You can guard the door for me. In addition, give Dong Ning, Xiqian and Bei Zhi some time to settle down."
After saying that, she led Ji Yunyuan to the side room.
As soon as the door was closed, and before he could turn on the lamp, Ji Yunyuan grabbed the little girl's wrist, raised his hand to hold her head while she was stunned, and slammed the door.
