That night.

Mo Zhaohua and Chu Xuanchi fell asleep in each other's arms.

Ever since Chu Xuanchi was able to turn over at will, he liked to sleep sideways with her in his arms.

Mo Zhaohua talked about Madam Mo being imprisoned, "Mu Chi, a big thing happened in the Shangshu Mansion..."

Although Chu Xuanchi had returned from office in the afternoon, he was busy with official business in the study afterwards, so she did not disturb him.

After dinner and treatment, Chu Xuanchi talked to her about other things, and she didn't want to change the subject.

Chu Xuanchi was puzzled, "Isn't it said that scholars value filial piety the most? Then why would Mo Yun do such a thing?"

Mo Zhaohua sneered disdainfully, "This shows that for him, filial piety is nothing compared to profit."

Chu Xuanchi asked again, "Zhao Zhao, do you know why he is so rebellious that he would put his own mother under house arrest?"

Mo Zhaohua replied, "Aunt Qiao doesn't know the reason either. She couldn't get into Yishou Hall these past few days, so she quietly asked around."

Although Mrs. Qiao had a good relationship with the servants, the matter of Yishoutang was ordered by Mo Yun himself, so she could not find out the inside story.

"Is Zhao Zhao ready to go back and figure it out?" Chu Xuanchi guessed that Mo Zhaohua would not miss this good opportunity to deal with Mo Yun.

Mo Zhaohua chuckled, "Of course, I guess this has something to do with Mo Yaohua. Last time she came home, she made the old lady faint..."

This was the news that Qinghua brought a few days ago. She is in favor now, and new news comes almost every day.

After receiving Qiao's letter today, she quickly remembered the news and guessed that it might be related to Mo Yaohua.

Chu Xuanchi agreed after hearing this, "Maybe the old lady wanted to make a big deal out of it, but Mo Yun was afraid of affecting Mo Yaohua's reputation so she stopped her."

Mo Zhaohua agreed with a smile, "Mu Chi and I have a telepathic connection. If that's true, we can make good use of it."

"Do you need me to accompany you to the Shangshu Mansion tomorrow?" With the previous experience in mind, Chu Xuanchi was still worried that she would suffer a loss if she went back alone.

Mo Zhaohua was not afraid at all. "The Inspection Department is very busy. Mu Chi does not need to ask for leave. I don't believe anyone dares to stop you."

Madam Mo was imprisoned in Yishou Hall, and Qiao was her person. Lan Ruyu should want to stop it, but she didn't have the qualifications.

As for Mo Shenghua, he was not at home preparing for the upcoming spring examination. Instead, he went out every day to have fun and spend his time in the name of relaxing.

Chu Xuanchi thought for a moment, "Mo Yun will also report for duty tomorrow. There is not even a master in the mansion, so no one should dare to be so presumptuous."

Mo Zhaohua has been married for such a long time, and now that he has gained real power, he believes that Mo Yun will weigh the pros and cons and take her identity into consideration.

"Are you relieved, Mu Chi?" Mo Zhaohua nuzzled into his arms. "With you protecting me like this, who would dare to act rashly?"

"That being said, Zhao Zhao should not be too careless." Chu Xuanchi reminded, "After all, it is easy to dodge an open spear, but it is difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark."

Mo Zhaohua had already made plans, "I know. I will bring Huaying with me. The guards in the Shangshu Mansion will not be able to do anything to her."

"If anything happens, please send someone to find me in time." Chu Xuanchi usually does not need to leave the government office and can handle official business inside.

"Okay." Mo Zhaohua's hand quietly touched his chest, "Mu Chi, are you tired from doing your job today?"

Chu Xuanchi grabbed her hand and gently tickled her palm, "If I say I'm not tired, what does Zhao Zhao want?"

"Then you'll have to work hard, Mu Chi..." Mo Zhaohua pulled back his hand, hugged him, turned over, and pressed him under him.

"Zhao Zhao, have you calculated the date? Will it be safe tonight?" Chu Xuanchi was afraid that she might be pregnant and he might not be able to protect her.

Mo Zhaohua was very confident about this. "Whether it is safe or not is up to me. Mu Chi can relax and don't worry about these things."

"Zhao Zhao..." Chu Xuanchi knew that she knew her limits and would not act recklessly, so he cooperated with her tacitly.

"I'm here..." Mo Zhaohua already knew that he wanted it, but he was just restraining himself. After all, he had normal needs.

***

the next morning.

Mo Zhaohua took Huaying and Amber to the Shangshu Mansion.

There was no mistress in the mansion and Madam Mo was under house arrest, so Lan Ruyu was in charge of the household supplies.

In other words, Mo Yun's reputation couldn't stand the damage, so he didn't blatantly promote her to a higher position.

She didn't force it. After all, apart from the title of mistress, she was no different from the mistress in other aspects.

Even compared to Rong Qing in the past, she has more favor from Mo Yun, so why bother with this?

When Mo Zhaohua returned home, she was the first to get the news and immediately rushed to the front yard with her maids and servants.

As Lan Ruyu walked, she asked the maid who came to deliver the message, "The princess didn't send an invitation, why did she suddenly return home?"

The maid replied respectfully, "My aunt, I don't know either. The princess only said that she was going back to visit the old lady."

Lan Ruyu guessed, "I'm afraid someone tipped her off. Otherwise, with her personality, why would she be so diligent?"

Since Mo Zhaohua had her coming-of-age ceremony last year, she has not been as close to the people of the Mo family, and she has seen it.

Perhaps out of guilt, she just couldn't believe that Mo Zhaohua suddenly came back because he cared about the old lady.

The old woman was afraid that she would suspect him, so she denied it repeatedly, "I didn't say anything, and I don't know what happened in the mansion that I had to report."

"I didn't mention you." Lan Ruyu frowned, "Send someone to the government office to inform the master that Princess Yu is back to visit the old lady."

She knew very well that Qiao was Mo Zhaohua's person. If Mo Zhaohua really got the news and came back, it must have been Qiao's doing.

She originally didn't like the close relationship between Qiao and Rong Qing, and later when Mo Qinghua became favored, she had already wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

However, Qiao was very wary of her and the people around her, and did everything herself, so she has not been able to succeed so far.

When Mo Zhaohua arrived at the Shangshu Mansion, he went straight to Yishoutang. He was stopped by Lan Ruyu on the way. She came to Zhu to stop him.

Lan Ruyu knelt and saluted, "Hello, Princess. I didn't know you were coming back. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. Please forgive me."

"No need to be polite." Mo Zhaohua knew that she intended to stop him, but he was not in a hurry. "Auntie Lan is much more informed than Auntie Qiao."

She was almost saying directly that Lan Ruyu treated herself as the mistress of the mansion and ordered the servants to report to her if they had any problems.

"I just happened to know about this, so I came to greet you." Lan Ruyu asked tentatively, "I wonder why the princess suddenly returned home?"

Huaying said coldly: "Why, the princess needs to send an invitation to a concubine before returning to her own family?"

Lan Ruyu pretended to slap herself twice, "Of course not, it's my fault for asking too much."

Mo Zhaohua explained, "I came back on the second day of the Chinese New Year. Grandma was sick. I don't know how she is now. I came to see her when I have time."

"The doctor said that the old lady needs to rest quietly, so it's best not to disturb her." Lan Ruyu wanted to use this to stop Mo Zhaohua from going to Yishoutang.

She also knew that if Mo Zhaohua got the news and came back on purpose, she would not be able to stop him, but at least she could delay him for a while.

As long as they could delay until Mo Yun came back, they could stop her completely, and the fact that the old lady was under house arrest would naturally not be leaked.
