Was the whole group wiped out in the previous life? Reborn to drag the crippled king into the bridal

That night, at the Prince's Palace.

Chu Xuanchi returned home very late after a social event, looking exhausted.

In the afternoon, Mo Zhaohua went to the Inspection Office, but he only met him once and did not come back with him.

Mo Zhaohua took off his dragon robe for him and changed into his normal clothes. "Is Mu Chi so busy with official duties now?"

Chu Xuanchi was also surprised. "I thought they were only investigating corrupt officials, but I didn't expect there were so many other things."

"Oh? Isn't it just checking these?" In his previous life, Mo Zhaohua was mainly responsible for winning over the wives of high-ranking officials for Chu Xuanhan.

As for the responsibilities of various government offices in the imperial court, she only had a rough understanding of the six ministries, and was not very clear about the other departments.

Chu Xuanchi explained, "When the Supervision Department was first established, it was indeed only for these purposes, but as its power grew, it became responsible for more matters."

"Wouldn't that be very hard for Mu Chi?" Mo Zhaohua guessed, "Is His Majesty's purpose to make you retreat when you see difficulties?"

Chu Xuanchi said confidently: "Although I don't know my father's purpose, I can't retreat when I know it's difficult."

Mo Zhaohua changed his clothes for him and helped him sit down. "The emperor's mind is hard to predict. We can never guess what His Majesty is thinking."

Chu Xuanchi was neither anxious nor slow, "If you can't guess, then forget it for now. Zhao Zhao, please tell me, how is the old lady's matter handled?"

"I have sent the old lady to stay at my second uncle's house for a while..." Mo Zhaohua made it short and briefly explained the whole story.

"Why did you send her to the Mo Mansion?" Chu Xuanchi couldn't help but wonder, "Are you worried that Mo Yun will harm her again in the future?"

Mo Zhaohua chuckled, "No, I want to take advantage of this opportunity. We cannot publicize the affairs of the Shangshu Mansion, but Xue's can."

"The old lady knows the importance of this matter, will she tell Mrs. Xue?" Chu Xuanchi thought that the old lady was still a little smart.

Mo Zhaohua said confidently: "No, but the old lady will inform the second uncle, and then Xue will know the inside story with a little persuasion."

"Oh?" Chu Xuanchi raised his eyebrows, "Why is Zhao Zhao so sure?"

Mo Zhaohua told him, "The old lady has always favored my second uncle, and my second uncle is somewhat henpecked."

Chu Xuanchi understood, "So that's the case. Isn't it a chain of events? Every event falls into Zhao Zhao's calculations?"

Mo Zhaohua looked a little proud, "Yes, I didn't think about it at the time, and I had already returned home, but then I realized it."

"I don't know how to praise Zhao Zhao's intelligence." Chu Xuanchi was afraid that she was tired of hearing the same words of praise.

Mo Zhaohua suddenly restrained her expression and said, "Don't praise me too much, because I tend to be proud and complacent."

"Haha..." Chu Xuanchi thought she was joking and couldn't help laughing, "Zhao Zhao is teasing me again."

Mo Zhaohua said seriously, "Really, Xiao Yan's matter has not yet come to a conclusion, and Mo Shuhua's marriage has not changed."

Chu Xuanchi soothed softly, "Don't worry, we can't be more impatient than Xiao Yan and Mo Yaohua, right?"

"Yes!" Mo Zhaohua nodded in agreement, "As the saying goes, haste makes waste. I really need to be more patient."

She and Chu Xuanchi just complemented each other. She advised him to stay calm about the leg treatment, and he advised her not to rush about revenge.

***

Prince Qi's Mansion, Wutong Garden.

There was a lounge chair under the tree in the yard, with a small table next to it.

On the small table there is not only freshly brewed tea, but also fruits and snacks.

Mo Yaohua was lying in a rocking chair, with Nanny Wu using chopsticks to feed her fruits or snacks from time to time.

"Where's Qinghua?" Mo Yaohua glanced at the maids serving around, "Why can't I find her these days?"

"Who knows?" Madam Wu took the opportunity to sneer, "Maybe she took advantage of the master's favoritism and went somewhere to be lazy."

"That damn girl, come back and peel off her skin!" Mo Yaohua shouted angrily, "Madam Wu, how is the matter I asked you to find out?"

Nanny Wu's smug smile froze immediately, "I have already sent someone out to inquire, and there should be results soon."

Mo Yaohua became more and more angry, "It's been so many days, why are you taking so long to do something? You are all useless."

Nanny Wu was too embarrassed to say a word, and she felt like she was shooting herself in the foot.

Not long after, Qinghua came over hurriedly and saluted, "Master."

Mo Yaohua grabbed the teacup on the small table and threw it at him, "Why are you being lazy? Do you really think I'm spoiling you?"

"Master, calm down." Qinghua groaned after being hit, and immediately knelt down, "I am not lazy, I am going to do my job."

Madam Wu took the opportunity to stir up trouble, "You are a servant, what else can be more important than serving your master?"

"Didn't the master ask Madam to find out about the second young master of the Fang family?" Qinghua poked her in the heart, "But there is no news so far."

Mo Yaohua got the idea and instantly became interested. "Why? Did you go and ask about it too?"

Qinghua said: "I saw that my master was disappointed every time he asked, so I wanted to share my master's worries and sent someone to inquire."

Nanny Wu deliberately asked, "The people you sent are more powerful than me, right? Doesn't that mean you have good news to report to the master?"

She just didn't believe that Qinghua could find out useful information in such a short time and steal her credit.

Qinghua was very confident, "As the saying goes, money makes the world go round. The more money I spend, the more dedicated people are to their work."

"You mean I haven't spent any money?" Nanny Wu was indeed reluctant to spend money and only gave a small amount of money to get rid of her.

"How would I know this? I spent all my monthly salary to get some information." The information about Qinghua actually came from Prince Yu's Palace.

"What's the news?" Madam Wu pretended to be calm. "Don't waste your money and get useless news."

Qinghua said: "The second young master of the Fang family is indeed quite talented in literature, but he is extremely lustful and has many women in his courtyard."

"What kind of news is this?" Nanny Wu sneered, "How many men are not lustful? Everyone knows that there are many women in the Second Young Master's courtyard."

Qinghua added: "The second young master of the Fang family often went to drink wine and brought girls from the brothel home and left them in the courtyard."

Nanny Wu found another reason to prove that the news was unimportant, "Scholars love to visit brothels and write poems and songs."

Qinghua said a bombshell, "The second young master liked to beat people up after drinking, and the brothel girl finally jumped into a well and died."

Nanny Wu kept silent. The Minister's Mansion would definitely suppress this kind of news, and it was really not easy for Qinghua to find out.

Mo Yaohua listened to their tit-for-tat argument, just watching the show, and only spoke after hearing this, "Is there such a thing?"

Qinghua was still kneeling, "Master, is this information useful? If not, I will lend you some silver and ask more."

"No need, get up, you did a good job, I already have the handle on that bitch." Mo Yaohua didn't even mention giving her a reward.

Qinghua repeatedly mentioned that she had used money and done a good job, but she only received verbal praise, which made the servants around her feel disheartened.

Mo Yaohua was completely unaware of this and thought that this was what Qinghua should do.
