Chapter 72
In the front hall of Beifu, Nan Jiuli was drinking tea in a leisurely manner, without any embarrassment like a guest coming for the first time.

People who didn't know saw her and thought she was the owner here.

The maid who was serving the tea at the side looked at Nan Jiuli carefully and curiously, wondering who she was.
The steward specifically told them repeatedly to serve them carefully and not to be negligent, so it can be seen that this is a very distinguished guest.

Nan Jiuli pretended not to notice the sneaky gazes of the servants in the hall, because the person she was waiting for was about to arrive.

Sure enough, not long after, a handsome young man stepped into the hall. He was the newly appointed patriarch of the Bei clan——Bei Yu.

The so-called three fires for a new official to take office, but not long after Beiyu was able to take up the big post, he already had the majesty that can only be cultivated as a superior for many years.

That unsmiling and serious expression looks very old-fashioned.

"I've seen the special envoy." Bei Yu cupped his fists and made a bow when he came up, neither falling behind nor losing his courtesy.

"I don't know if the special envoy will come, but what orders does the monarch have?"

Nan Jiuli didn't expect this patriarch to be so upright, she helped her to start a conversation before she even opened her mouth.

"Well, there are some small things." Nan Jiuli said 'pretentiously'.

Hearing this, Bei Yu's eyes flickered, but it didn't show on his face, but his heart became active.

Since the monarch ascended the throne and ordered all the branches of the Bei clan to move to the fief, he has hardly taken care of anything in the fief.

Why did you suddenly send a special envoy over this time, but didn't even disclose any news?

Could it be that the higher-ups are going to make some big moves against the fiefdom?
Looking at the other party's expression of thinking about conspiracy theories, Nan Jiuli was really speechless.

But it doesn't matter, Quan should be paving the way for the next thing to say.

Maybe it will save her a lot of tongues later.

"I don't know what the king has ordered, but we will try our best to follow it."

After thinking about it, Bei Yu felt that it would be better to wait and see how it would change. After all, he couldn't take the whole Bei family at risk until the monarch's real purpose was not clear.

Seeing that the other party kept laying the groundwork for her, Nan Jiuli of course took advantage of the situation to explain her intentions: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that the monarch intends to select some outstanding talents among the children of the Bei family and keep them for appointment."

"The king specially sent me to investigate. I hope the patriarch can gather all the children of the clan here as soon as possible."

After saying this, even if he is as steady and experienced as Bei Yu, he can't help showing a dazed expression.

What kind of whim did the monarch have? Didn't he always take care of the Bei clan relatives, regardless of things, feelings, and indifference.

It has been like this for so many years, and it is a bit disturbing to think about a sudden change of attitude.

Beiyuan, who was far away in the imperial city, completely unaware that he had been implicated: Why did his nose suddenly itch?

"Okay, I will let those children who went out come back as soon as possible."

"Well, no matter if they are direct descendants, descendants of concubines, or children who have not been recorded in the genealogy, please be sure to call them all."

Nan Jiuli made a special reminder, and Bei Yu couldn't help but darken his eyes, a little concerned about the sentence that was not included in the genealogy, and always felt that the special envoy was emphasizing something?
But the special envoy came to the Bei Clan for the first time, so he probably didn't know the situation of the children in the Bei Clan?
Unable to figure out why, Bei Yu had no choice but to gather his thoughts and said, "Okay, I understand."

"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first. When everyone is ready, the patriarch will send someone to the Yuexiang Inn to let me know."

Seeing that Nan Jiuli was about to leave, Bei Yu, as the host, of course couldn't be so rude.

"It's the first time for a special envoy to come to the Bei Clan. I, the Bei Clan, should treat him well. Why don't we just stay in the mansion..."

Before Beiyu finished his warm invitation, Nan Jiuli waved his hand and refused: "I thank the patriarch for his kindness in advance."

"But don't bother, I'm still used to staying in hotels."
