Abandoned daughter reborn, legitimate son is resourceful

Prime Minister's Mansion

"My dear wife, I have long told you that Ma Sheng is not a good person, but you insisted on accepting her as your student. What's going on now? I'm afraid..."

The man who was crying with his face covered had fine lines at the corners of his eyes and wore expensive clothes. He looked somewhat similar to Nangong Jingcheng, but the aura on his body was different.

"What's the point of saying this now?"

Prime Minister Nangong Jiyun was sitting in the main seat. Most of the people in the court were his. Pei Chuanjin wanted to impeach him just by catching a small person like Ma Sheng. This was really underestimating her, Nangong Jiyun.

"However, your majesty is now under the control of Pei Chuanjin, and it is only a matter of time before he wants to take action against our Nangong family."

Housewife Nangong paced back and forth in the hall, their fingers intertwined. Although he gave birth to Nangong Jingcheng at the age of eighteen, it did not hinder his gentle temperament at all.

"Pei Chuanjin, she is just relying on the fact that her brother is the current empress dowager, so she dares to be so presumptuous."

Nangong Jilin rubbed his brows, sat in his seat, and looked at Nangong Zhufu's anxious appearance, feeling a little bit reluctant.

"Will Ma Sheng's affairs affect our Nangong family?"

Ma Sheng is Nangong Jiyun's student. He is well-mannered, talented and knowledgeable, but his mind is not pure.

Ma Sheng climbed up the high branch of Nangong Jiyun and made friends with many people outside who wanted to curry favor with Nangong Jiyun. He not only cheated people of their money, but also abused young men from good families. Later, he aroused public anger and brought the case to the attention of the officials. Even after filing a lawsuit, the case was not suppressed and finally it ended up in the court.

Because Ma Sheng's behavior was beyond the rules of etiquette and because of his relationship with Nangong Jilin, he is now imprisoned in prison, awaiting his fate.

Pei Chuanjin seized this incident to report Nangong Jiyun in the court, and also brought up Nangong Jiyun's old case of corruption and bribery many years ago.

It can be said that he was guilty of corruption and bribery, but in fact he was harmed by his own short-sightedness. If he had not easily agreed to give those water conservancy projects to others, trouble would have occurred and people would have died.

Nangong Jilin gave the written receipt to avoid getting into trouble. Nangong Jingcheng was also there at the time. It was Nangong Jingcheng who came up with the idea. He sent people to press fingerprints and hand over witnesses and evidence before the matter was suppressed.

"I'm afraid that what happened to Ma Sheng is just a small matter. This time, she might uproot our entire Nangong family."

When Nangong's husband heard this, tears welled up in his eyes again and he wiped them with a handkerchief.

"Jingcheng, when will Jingcheng come back? He..."

Nangong Jiyun's hair has turned several gray recently due to worry. A few years ago, Nangong Jingcheng ran away for several months and was later tricked back and locked up.

He always found a way to run away again. Nangong Jilin also understood Nangong Jingcheng's thoughts. Nangong's husband felt sorry for his son. Seeing him staying at home every day, he was secretly sad. He was afraid that he would do something stupid, so he quietly gave him the key.

"Now you want him to come back? Why didn't you think of this when you gave me the key?"

Nangong Jiyun sat there, rubbing his temple with his hand.

Househusband Nangong came to Nangong Jiyun with a wronged look, sat on the chair next to him, and began to sob softly.

"I...what can I do? At the beginning...you didn't object! Jing Cheng was distracted day by day, and I let him go because I was afraid that something would happen to him."

Nangong Jiyun looked at the crying Nangong master in front of him, and his heart softened. He could only comfort him softly: "I'm not talking about you. I was a little harsh just now. It's just that Cheng'er is not here, so no one can come up with a good idea."

"Then let's go find Madam Murong. She will definitely have some ideas."

Nangong Zhufu and Murong Zhufu were close friends. After they grew up, their families arranged for them to get married and they had no contact for many years.

The two met after the fall of the previous dynasty. One became the husband of the prime minister's mansion, and the other became the husband of the Murong family, a descendant of the previous dynasty's nobility.

I heard that Mrs. Murong was very good to him. They both already had children when they met. Later, they became closer and had many common topics.

Nangong Jingcheng and Murong Beitang were childhood sweethearts, and they often played and studied together.

When she grew up, the emperor was jealous of Murong Beitang's talent, so he sent her to guard the border. After that, there was no news of her since then.

"The Murong family is now in a difficult situation, unable to save itself."

Nangong Jiliang shook his head in denial.

"But……"

"No buts."

Nangong Jiyun was in deep thought, frowning.

Now that the Murong family has lost power, the court is full of unrest and people are changing their attitudes according to the wind. If I go to the Murong family now, wouldn't it give people the illusion that I am desperate and trying anything possible?

"Is the young master back?"

Nangong Jingcheng looked at the servant holding the letter in his hand. The servant lowered his head and did not dare to look at the two of them.

"Guard Bai has brought the young master back. He is on his way back now. It will take about three days."

"it is good."

At night, Bai Ran brought Nangong Jingcheng to the inn and untied his acupoints.

Nangong Jingcheng knew that he could not beat Bai Ran, and Qingfeng was also there. He was worried that he would run away again, so the two of them planned to guard him day and night.

But how could someone who really wanted to leave be trapped so easily?

"Boss, a room."

Bai Ran directly threw a silver ingot on the counter. The boss took the money and was originally very happy, but when he heard Bai Ran say that he only wanted a room, his face fell again.

"Miss, this ingot of silver can open two or three rooms. You want only one, but I can't find the change."

The boss was a little embarrassed. Bai Ran glanced at her and said, "I want the most expensive one."

"okay!"

Nangong Jingcheng rolled his eyes at his boss. He was a straightforward person and wanted to curse at anything or anyone he disliked, but his academic accomplishments over the years prevented him from using vulgar words.

"Bai Ran, remember this, if you really take me back this time, I will never forgive you."

Bai Ran had no choice but to ask the waiter to prepare the meal.

Nangong Jingcheng sat at the table angrily, glanced at Bai Ran, and then looked away. This inn was on the official road, and Bai Ran had a pass from the Prime Minister's Mansion, so the origin of this inn was probably not small.

"Sir, I didn't lie to you. This time it's real. I'll come back with you again after we solve the trouble in the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Nangong Jingcheng looked at Bai Ran's sincere eyes and had to believe her again.

Bai Ran is good at hiding her emotions, so every conversation requires guessing, guessing her tone and thoughts.

Nangong Jingcheng sometimes wonders why it is so difficult to understand a man's mind, but isn't it easy to guess a woman's mind?

When people are born, they are a blank sheet of paper. When they grow up, they become fancy and there are all kinds of people. Who can see them doing things silently without saying anything?

Once a person enters the secular world, silence is always a fatal blow.

Bai Ran's silence was only met with Nangong Jingcheng's endless demands, but she was happy to accept them.

Bai Ran's love is too restrained, hidden too deeply, and too cautious.

Nangong Jingcheng can neither see nor hear, so what can he do even if he knows a little bit?

The two people have very different identities. One is the son of the high and mighty prime minister, and the other is just a guard living under someone else's roof. It is a joke for a master and a subordinate to fall in love. What's more, Nangong Jingcheng doesn't love Bai Ran at all.
