Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 363

It's too obvious, it's like doing favors and making deals.

Xiao Wenqing thought to himself.

"The poisoning of an official at Lang Lang Kangkang's full moon banquet was deliberately done. I don't know how far the people who are investigating this matter have gone. Tomorrow, I will go to the sixth brother-in-law to ask." Mo Yuxuan said.Wenqing is a woman, and others will not tell her too much. Sixth brother-in-law Liu Hanlin was one of the parties involved that day. He went to court every day. He was the minister who drafted various important documents by the emperor. He could know most of the things. the truth.Only the investigators and the emperor can know about the remaining half.

"Yuxuan." Xiao Wenqing asked worriedly, "Did the competition among the princes affect the full moon banquet in our Marquis Mansion?"

Looking at Xiao Wenqing approvingly, Mo Yuxuan nodded and said, "Yes. The Emperor sent me out to suppress the bandits to train troops, and forced Prince Rui to come over to serve as a military supervisor. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Emperor wanted Prince Rui to befriend his favorite minister. "

Are the other princes worried about such an obvious matter?Riding on the full moon banquet held by the Hou's Mansion, strangers in the mansion frequently came in and out to commit homicides and poisonous cases, causing the Hou's Mansion to offend a large number of officials, and causing several officials who were close to the Hou's Mansion to die.As for who is the mastermind behind the scenes, it may be the King of Qin, because when others think that if he did it, he would be too stupid. He is 35 and six years old, has been in the officialdom for more than ten years and has many advisers around him. If there is a third party who wants to reap the benefits of being a fisherman, then maybe it is him!
Officialdom is like a battlefield, and people who are foolish or reckless are often used as tools by others. Only those who use tools know what they have done and their intentions.

"All the ministers can see clearly, I hope the emperor will appoint a prince earlier, suppress other princes, and stop their attempts." Xiao Wenqing said.

"The emperor has his own thoughts, and it's hard for others to figure it out." Mo Yuxuan released Xiao Wenqing, let her lie down, took the thin quilt to hold her body, and said softly, "I'm in the mansion now, you Don't worry about it, just rest."

"I'm sorry, Yuxuan." Facing the extremely gentle and considerate husband-in-law, Xiao Wenqing apologized, "I'm not a qualified virtuous wife." In the name of being virtuous, Madam had no choice but to agree to Mr. He taking a concubine even though she was very jealous, and had to send her dowry maid to Mr. He's room.

"Don't talk stupidly, you are my wife, you just need to make me think you are virtuous and qualified." Mo Yuxuan said very calmly, "I ride horses day and night, and I am also very tired. Let's rest." After finishing speaking, He patted Xiao Wenqing's body gently, signaling her not to think too much about this kind of thing.

This matter will last a long time.

Xiao Wenqing was comforted by him, so she snuggled up to him and fell asleep peacefully.Because the backbone of the family was back, she felt extremely relaxed and slept very soundly. She didn't even wake up when Mo Yuxuan got up and got out of bed in the morning.

Mo Yuxuan sat by the bed and stared at his wife's still pale face, pitying her hard work and pressure.When he returned to Beijing this time, he didn't know how long he would stay in the capital. He had to investigate the full moon poisoning case as soon as possible, otherwise, he would not feel at ease when he left Beijing.Wen Qing and Xiao's family basically had no influence in the capital. Something happened to the Hou Mansion when he was not in the capital. Wen Qing, who only had some friendship with the young wives, could not find much help.

Because the sixth brother-in-law Liu Hanlin needs to go to court, after the court, he usually goes to the official office of the Imperial Academy to work, Mo Yuxuan did not go to him first, but changed into a simple and elegant go-out uniform after breakfast, so that people can go out quickly Buy a new batch of books from outside bookstores.

"Yuxuan, what do you buy books for?" Xiao Wenqing asked in surprise, there were a lot of books in Yuxuan's study, some of which were specially bought by servants to enrich the bookshelves.

"I plan to go to Ling's mansion to pay homage to my father first, visit my third brother, and then visit my sixth brother-in-law in the afternoon." Mo Yuxuan said, "I can't go there empty-handed. The third brother is not rare for ordinary gifts, so I just bring a few books. Bookseller's new biography of poetry."

Looking at Xiaoxiao who was still sitting on the small table drinking porridge, he said: "Xiaoxiao, after you finish eating, go back to your room and change into plain clothes. Dad will take you to see cousin Sanbo and the others."

Xiaoxiao immediately cheered up, "That's great, Dad." It's better for Dad, as soon as Dad comes back, there will be more opportunities for him to go out to play.

"Then I'll go back to my room and change my clothes." Xiao Wenqing said, "I haven't seen my third sister-in-law for a long time, so I should visit her too. Mother's side..." She paused, "It's been a long time since I went to pay my respects." On New Year's Eve last year, she took Xiaoxiao to offer incense to her late father-in-law, and greeted her third sister-in-law and mother-in-law. Afterwards, because of various busy schedules and pregnancy, she did not go to Ling's mansion again.

"You're not in good health, so you can't move around; the Ling's residence is still guarding filial piety in Ding You, so you don't want to go." Mo Yuxuan said, "You have someone prepare four sets of pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and then give them to your mother's third sister-in-law Xue Lan. Yulan prepared some delicate gifts, and Xiaoxiao and I brought them there. As for the gifts from Sixth Sister and Sixth Brother-in-law, you should send someone to send them over if you have prepared them.” Sixth Sister and Sixth Brother-in-law should thank you.In a few days, after he met the emperor, he invited their whole family to come and get together.

Xiao Wenqing knew that she was not in good health, and that it would be disrespectful to go to other people's houses, so she nodded her head in agreement, and asked Yingchun, the maid beside her, to call Aunt Zhao Tian, ​​who was in charge of her warehouse, to make a list of gifts.

Mo Yuxuan sat and watched Xiao Wenqing busy, thinking about how to ask the third brother for help.The father who has stood in the court for decades has left many secret forces in the Ling family that are not known to outsiders. Those can only be used by the third brother who manages the Ling family in place of the eldest son Sun Jingquan.
