Chapter 177 Entering the table

As soon as Gu Yunyao heard that the servant introduced himself, his eyes quickly glanced at the crowd.

Shen Munan is here too?

The manager of the Zhuo family in the hall was so choked by these words that he did not dare to say any more.

"Sir, I am a second-class servant in Prince Qin's Mansion. There is an elder brother in the family who is good at calligraphy and painting. Second Young Master Zhuo liked his calligraphy and asked him to copy the book.

The villain usually works in the palace and doesn't go home very often. Yesterday, the neighbor sent a letter and the villain learned about it.

I went to the Zhuo family to ask, but the Zhuo family said that my brother left long ago, and now my little brother is nowhere to be found alive or dead, please help me search for him!"

Although this person is just a domestic servant, he has the backing of Prince Qin's palace, so naturally he cannot be dismissed easily.

Shifu Yin thought for a while: "Come here, take the three of them to Zhuo Mansion!"

Gu Yunyao and the head of the family quietly retreated and took a carriage to the vicinity of Zhuo Mansion.

Before getting on the carriage, she looked around and didn't see Shen Munan.

A funeral is being held in the Zhuo Mansion, with white hangings hanging in front of the door and mourning music playing.

When the Zhuo family heard that someone was coming from Jingzhao Mansion, they were shocked and angry.

Zhuo's father did not go to court today. He was exhaling angrily when he saw Shi Fuyin cupping his hands and exclaiming: "Shi Fuyin, are you here to offer incense for your son?"

Shi Fuyin's words were as hard as stone: "Of course not, I am not familiar with your son, but the deceased is a big one, so it is not impossible to give him a stick."

"Master Zhuo, you are in the fifth rank and I am the fourth rank. Your etiquette just now was not right.

However, I consider that you are suffering from the loss of your son, so I will forget it."

Zhuo's father gritted his teeth: "Then do I still need to thank Shifu Yin for his magnanimity?"

"No need to thank you, just cooperate," Shi Fuyin waved his hand, "Bring the person up."

The three of them came forward together, and Shi Fuyin briefly introduced the matter.

Zhuo's father was furious: "What a bastard! My son just passed away, and you jumped out to throw dirty water on him. Who instigated you? Tell me!"

"And you, Shi Shiyong, what are your intentions? When have you ever offended me? Are you willing to trample me to death? I'm going to sue you in front of the emperor!"

"This is casual," Shi Fuyin was not afraid at all, "I have been ordered to investigate this case. If your son is dead, he will be investigated. Even if he is not dead now, he will still be investigated.

If he is not dead and has human life on his hands, then I will make him suffer the punishment of the law."

"you……"

Gu Yunyao held the hand stove and sat in the warm car: "Master Shi really deserves to be called Shi Shi Yong, he is so strong."

The boss poured her a cup of hot sugar water and said, "Just now, I just can't deal with the handsome man."

Gu Yunyao's gossip started again: "Aunt Gu, do you know why?"

"I don't know," the headmaster shook his head, "Shi Shiyong and I are not familiar with each other. I only found out about this person when I went to the village."

While they were talking, Shi Fuyin had already led people to prepare to forcefully enter Zhuo Mansion.

Originally he was in this position and had a high official rank, so he had no problem entering the Zhuo Mansion. But today, the Zhuo family had something to do, and Zhuo's father was so excited that he couldn't let him go.

Just at this moment, there was the sound of wheels and the tinkling of horse bells, passing through the cold air, making people shiver.

Gu Yunyao lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and looked out. A carriage stopped, and the driver was Chunni.

The car curtain was raised, and Shen Munan, wearing a black fox cloak, slowly got out of the car.

The dark blue royal robe floats vaguely under the black fox cloak, and the dark chi stripes seem to be wrapped around his body, expressing his noble aura.

He lightly clasped his hands, standing upright, but his posture was relaxed. The invisible pressure was coming layer by layer as the wind wrapped the fine remaining snow.

When Zhuo's father saw him, whether he was angry or excited, he was instantly shattered into pieces.

I was stunned for a moment, then quickly came over to meet him.

Shi Fuyin followed him slowly and came to see him.

Gu Yunyao wanted to go out, but felt that the occasion was inappropriate, so she continued to watch from the car window.

The servants of the royal family also followed up and tapped the ground with one leg: "I pay my respects to the prince."

Zhuo's father didn't know that he was from the palace at all, he just thought it was Shi Fuyin who brought him to cause trouble for him.

Before he could regain his composure, the servant said again: "Go back to your lord, Lord Zhuo won't let the servants in."

Zhuo’s father: “…”

Shen Munan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh? Is there any reason for this?"

Zhuo's father lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, my dog's son has died. I am heartbroken. I really... don't care about anything else. Please forgive me."

Shen Munan sighed softly: "What Mr. Zhuo said is absolutely true. The sudden death of a family member is naturally very sad. I can understand it."

He changed the topic and said: "Master Zhuo, you should understand how sad it is for others to lose their family members."

"Is that possible?"

"……able."

"Shifu Yin, did you hear that? Lord Zhuo agreed, please take people in."

Zhuo's father looked shocked: "Your Majesty..."

"If you say you understand, doesn't that mean you agree?" Shen Munan looked at the gate of Zhuo Mansion, "Father also mentioned the death of your son in the court today, and even dismissed Zhou Jianzheng from his position because of it. Mr. Zhuo, Don’t let your father’s wishes go down.”

Zhuo's father was stunned and could not say anything else.

Shi Fuyin led the people into Zhuo Mansion smoothly, but Shen Munan was in no hurry to enter.

He turned his head and looked over, slowly walking to Gu Yunyao's carriage.

In order to avoid being exposed, Gu Yunyao deliberately stopped the carriage behind a tree at the intersection.

Seeing Shen Munan coming over, she lifted the car curtain and leaned against the window: "Your Majesty, what a coincidence."

Shen Munan looked at her face, there was some color in her face, it was much better than before.

"Why are you going out on such a cold day? Is it warm in the car?"

"Warm," Gu Yunyao spread his hands, "I brought a hand stove."

Shen Munan smiled slightly: "Would you like to go in and take a look?"

"Is it okay? Is it convenient?" Gu Yunyao still wanted to go.

"It's convenient, let's go."

Shen Munan met her at the door of the car, helped her out of the car, and tied the cloak for her: "The cloak is a little thin, I will make another one for you."

"This is a new one, made from the fur you gave me before. This one is just right, no matter how heavy it is, it's heavy."

Shen Munan squeezed her fingers, which were still warm: "Okay then, it's up to you."

Gu Yunyao lowered her eyes and looked at his hand-holding action, which looked very natural.

They walked in slowly, taking their time.

At this time, in the side hall, Mrs. Zhuo looked at this uninvited guest. She was angry but did not dare to show it.

The visitor was wearing a round-collared robe and a gray rat cloak, a standard butler's attire.

"Do you understand what my lord means, madam?

I can't write two characters "Zhuo" in one stroke. The master is dead, and I am very sad. Today, I am still petitioning the Holy Emperor in the court. If not, can the person named Zhou be dismissed?

Just by blocking the door of the Zhou Mansion and making a fuss, I'm afraid it won't have this effect, right?"

Mrs. Zhuo couldn't help but smile: "That's what you said."

"Well," the visitor took a sip of tea, "in this case, madam, I have to tell the truth and explain the matter clearly.

Now that the complaint has been handed over to Jingzhao Mansion, if you don't tell me, something will go wrong in the future, which will affect your Excellency... Your Excellency will not be able to take care of it even if you want to.

Madam, after all, you are distant relatives, and I care about you because you care about brotherhood, so don’t let it go to waste."

Mrs. Zhuo lowered her eyes and said nothing, the anger in her heart rising to her throat.
