Don't be defensive girl, I'm blind

Chapter 119 Nangong Xue's Aunt Also Likes Xue Mu? (First ask for a monthly ticket)

Cao Peizheng seemed to know that this time the God Detective Division was going to play for real.

He also knew that although Nangongxue was a thousand households, she had a special status, so he didn't dare to contradict her at will.

So he finally smiled and said: "That's true. After all, the adults have worked very hard to investigate the case, and the old man has no reason to cause trouble for everyone, right?"

After speaking, he looked at the servant behind him and said, "Ah Guang, go, ask the young master to get up and come to the front hall."

The servant A Guang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Yes."

Then, he immediately walked to the backyard.

As for the other people who were already waiting in the front hall, Xue Mu asked, "Were you all at the house the night before?"

At this time, everyone, you look at me, and I look at you.

One of the women asked, "Is the night three days ago the night before the Lantern Festival?"

"Exactly." Xue Mu nodded.

The woman replied: "If it is the night before the Lantern Festival, then we are all at the house."

"Yes, our young lady only went out on the night of the Lantern Festival, and stayed at the mansion for the rest of the time." At this time, another woman with a slightly younger voice answered.

Nangongxue asked Cao Peizheng at this time: "Where is Mr. Cao?"

Cao Peizheng explained at this time: "Master Nangong, you also know that I am already in the middle of the year, and I will go to bed early after having a light meal in the evening."

He then looked at his family members behind him, and said together: "Our family rules are strict, and they are basically not allowed to go out at night. I can be sure that everyone in our mansion was at home that night."

After Xue Mu heard this, he responded: "Since Mr. Cao said so, we naturally believe it. Now we just wait for Mr. Ling to come, and we can simply ask."

Hearing this sentence, Cao Peizheng also nodded, and said with emotion: "I heard that there is a drought in other areas, and a large number of refugees have come from outside the capital. Could it be that some people have sneaked into the city?"

After speaking, he looked at the people in the mansion behind him and said: "When you go out, you must be careful and go together. The capital is not peaceful now."

After hearing this, Nangongxue knew that Cao Pei was making insinuations, so she responded, "Don't worry, Mr. Cao, the Taiping of the capital will be taken care of by our God Detective Department."

"That's natural, and we naturally believe in your God Detector. After all, Your Majesty has high hopes for your God Detector." Cao Peizheng praised with a smile.

Hearing these words, Nangong Xue clenched the sword tightly.

Not long after, Xue Mu heard footsteps.

The servant Ah Guang walked to the front hall with a young man in disheveled clothes.

"Young master, let's hurry up."

"Got it, what's the rush!"

It could be heard that the young man seemed impatient.

At this time, Zheng Jun and others who had just left also came back.

He came behind Xue Mu and whispered, "I just heard a woman's cry from Cao De's room."

"En." Xue Mu nodded.

Not long after, Ah Guang brought Cao De to the front hall.

A Guang looked at Cao Pei and said, "My lord, the young master is here."

Cao Peizheng looked at Cao De, frowned and said, "Put on your clothes quickly."

"Father, I'm sleeping, what are you doing?" Cao De fastened his belt impatiently.

At this time, Cao Pei was looking at Xue Mu and the others, and deliberately taught him a lesson: "The God Detective is coming to handle the case and ask us some things, do you want to cooperate and understand? Otherwise, who will guard the peace of the capital?!"

When Cao De heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched subconsciously.

But he was still speechless: "What is there to ask, we are all officials, and it is impossible for us to commit crimes."

At this time, Xue Mu took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "This must be Mr. Cao De Cao?"

Cao De glanced at Xue Mu, looked him up and down, and asked, "Exactly, who are you?"

"I'm Xue Mu, one of the hundreds of households of the God Detective Department. Because a case has recently occurred in the capital, I'm going door to door to inquire and investigate. I want to ask, where were you and what did you do three nights ago?"

When Cao De heard it, there seemed to be a flash of panic in his eyes.

He paused for a second before replying; "I'm in the mansion, I haven't gone anywhere?! I've been in poor health recently."

At this time, the servant A Guang also added: "My lord, my son's health is not very good these days, so he has been cultivating himself in the room."

"So that's the case." Xue Mu shifted the question to A Guang at this time: "What about you?"

"Three nights ago, where did you go? What did you do there?"

When Ah Guang heard this, he began to falter.

Obviously, his tone of voice began to weaken.

He said with a smile: "We servants are usually in the backyard room, playing punches and so on with other people."

Zheng Jun listened and wanted to say what he just heard in the backyard.

But Cao Peizheng reminded: "I said, my lord, we should have finished asking here, right?"

Xue Mu nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Master Cao, we have finished asking, thank you for your cooperation, Master Cao, we will take our leave first."

After saying that, Nangong Xue led everyone away.

After the members of Cao's family saw that the Shenzhusi people had left, one of the women asked Cao Peizheng: "Father, why do I see that the Shenzhusi people don't look like they are going from house to house.

Cao Peizheng listened, then looked at the guilty Cao De and said, "Did you do something?!"

Cao De immediately shook his head: "Father, I don't have one! I've been at home these days!"

As he spoke, he looked at a woman again: "Mother, you can testify for me, I've been at home these days."

Mrs. Cao also nodded. She looked at Cao Pei and said, "Master, De'er is indeed at home these days and has never left the house."

"From today onwards, everyone is not allowed to go out. The capital is not peaceful recently, so be careful." Cao Peizheng said and left.

Soon, the whole Cao family also dispersed.

Only Cao De and A Guang were left in the front hall.

At this time, Ah Guang was sweating coldly on his forehead, and his expression was a little dazed.

Cao De looked at him, patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, no one will know."

Ah Guang could only nod in embarrassment: "My lord, is it true that no one knows about us?"

"No one knows, don't worry." Cao De said to himself, "By the way, you send the newly recruited Xiao Cui into my room tonight."

"My lord, you only got two today, do you want more?" Ah Guang felt helpless: "If this happens too frequently, if the madam and the master find out, the villain's head will be lost!"

"I said you're afraid of shit!" Cao De complained, "Then why would I do it all day? Anyway, prepare candles and whips and tell Xiaocui to wait for me in the room."

With that said, he leaned on his waist and swaggered back.

On the other side, Xue Mu and others waited after leaving the Cao Mansion.

Chen Baiming immediately said: "My lord, there is something wrong with the Cao Mansion."

"Ah."

In fact, although Xue Mu couldn't see it, but based on the above, he had already guessed most of the problem.

But he still asked Nangong Xuedao first: "Master Nangong, what should we do next?"

Nangongxue didn't give any opinion, but instead asked, "What do you think?"

"You can start with that servant, A Guang." Xue Mu replied.

Nangong Xue also agreed: "That servant must know about it. Find someone to follow him and see where he is going. Don't startle the snake for now."

"Yes."

In this way, Xue Mu asked Zheng Jun to take people around and set up surveillance.

As long as you find Ah Guang's appearance, follow him immediately to see where he will be in the next few days.

And Nangong Xue seemed to have something to do, so she separated from everyone at a street corner.

Relying on his memory, Xue Mu found that he was not far from publishing.

So he came to Zhou Qingshan's publication, wanting to see how "The Romance of the West Chamber" was selling.

Sure enough, when Zhou Qingshan saw Xue Mu, a smile appeared on his face.

"Ah Gui! You are finally here!"

Zhou Qingshan quickly asked: "Does your lady have a new story?"

Xue Mu explained: "She is writing, but it will take some time."

"That's all right, let's not worry." Zhou Qingshan took out a money bag from the cabinet at this time, which was filled with silver and said: "These are the profits from selling "The West Chamber". You count them."

"Don't count, I trust the boss." With that said, Xue Mu put the money bag in his arms and left.

Just at this time, Xiao Qingyue's maid, Xiao Die, happened to pass by the issue.

She came this time because she wanted to ask the shopkeeper if the story of "The Romance of the West Chamber" was over.

When she hurried into the publication, she noticed Xue Mu walking beside her.

Kocho seemed to think of something, but in the end she still didn't speak.

"Boss!~"

"Hey, what do you want to buy?"

"I want to ask if "The Romance of the West Chamber" has two scripts in total? Are there any more?"

"have nothing left."

"Then my lady would like to ask, will the author of "The Romance of the West Chamber" publish another novel?"

"I will, I will."

After Xiaodie heard this, she was also happy.

Before leaving, she asked: "By the way, the young master who came in just now, is he also here to buy "Romance of the West Chamber"?"

Zhou Qingshan thought for a while, thought of Xue Mu, and shook his head: "No, he didn't come to buy novels, he was doing something for his lady."

"Working? What are you doing?"

"I said, little girl, you ask too much? Do you know him?"

Xiaodie nodded at this moment: "Yes, my lady knows him."

"Your lady knows him?!" Zhou Qingshan said excitedly, "Then you just ask your lady to urge his lady to write a story. I can make money soon."

Xiaodie was a little confused when she heard this sentence.

After a stick of incense, she finally returned to Xiao's residence.

When she told Xiao Qingyue the conversation between herself and the boss, intact.

Xiao Qingyue also hesitated.

"Mr. Xue is publishing, but he is not buying novels. The boss said he is doing things for his young lady. Could it be Ruyan?"

"But if Ruyan asks him to publish it, what else can he do besides buying the novel?"

Xiao Qingyue decided to ask Xu Ruyan sometime.

In the palace, Nangongxue came all the way to a bedroom.

Outside the door, she heard the palace maid inside responding: "Lord Nangong, Your Majesty let you in."

After hearing this, Nangong Xue walked in.

After entering the bedroom, what greeted the eyes was a huge mahogany bed.

The bed was covered with a brocade quilt, surrounded by gorgeous curtains, and a pair of golden dragon and phoenix candlesticks were placed on the head of the bed, and incense candles were lit on the candlesticks, exuding a faint fragrance.

There are some furniture on both sides of the bed, such as screens, dressing tables, desks, etc., all made of precious wood and precious stones, very exquisite.

There are many famous calligraphy and paintings on the walls of the bedroom, and some bonsai and flowers are placed in the corners, which makes the whole bedroom full of vigor and vitality.

At this time, a lady was wearing a gorgeous brocade gown with golden patterns embroidered on the gown.

Her face was painted with light rouge, her eyes outlined a charming arc, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

The skin is fair and delicate, as pure as snow, exuding a faint fragrance, which makes people feel refreshed.

She wears a jewelry bracelet on her hand, and her fingers are studded with diamonds and rubies, shining charmingly.

After seeing Nangong Xue, she raised her lips slightly, showing an elegant smile, and beckoned: "Xue'er, you are here."

"Your official Nangongxue has met Concubine Mu Gui." Nangongxue cupped her hands.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Mu waved her hands to make everyone else back down.

After they all left, she stood up, came to Nangong Xue and said, "Xue'er, why are you admitting life again?"

"Your Majesty, in the imperial palace, there are many people, so it's better to be respectful." Nangong Xue replied.

"Why? In the palace, you really don't recognize me as an aunt?" Concubine Mu Gui laughed.

Nangong Xue shook her head: "My aunt treats me like her own child, Xue'er will never forget it in her life."

"Then you still call me Niangniang. Your surname is Nangong, and your aunt is also named Nangong. We are all descendants of Nangong's lineage. You are your father's only daughter. If you want to find a good husband in the future, you must spread the word and spread the leaves." The blood of our Nangong will be passed on." Mu Guifei Nangong Wei said happily.

When Nangongxue heard it, she immediately said with disgust: "Auntie, don't mention my father, he is not worthy."

Nangong Wei seemed to know the grievances between her and her father, so she comforted her: "Your father left home as a last resort to solve the case. Later, our family encountered an enemy who came to our house. After your father learned about this, he went out to take revenge. He Knowing that I'm sorry for your mother, after so many years, you should let go of your knots."

Nangongxue shook her head: "Auntie, although I am your niece, we were about the same age back then, and our mother hid them in a rice vat to escape the murder of the thieves. I will never forget that scene in my life.”

As she spoke, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, who had always been stubborn.

Nangong Wei was distressed, and finally wiped her face gently with a handkerchief, and comforted her: "Okay, aunt, I know that you have been checking the thief's whereabouts all these years, and aunt is also looking for it. Don't die so quickly, one day he must be brought to justice!"

Looking at the strong niece, Nangong Wei gently hugged her.

"Come on, tell me about recent events."

Afterwards, she dragged Nangong Xue to the bed and chatted.

Nangongxue didn't seem to have recovered from the emotion just now, and she just briefly talked about the recent case in the capital.

During this process, Nangong Wei noticed the sachet on her niece's waist.

She touched it and said, "Hey? Xue'er, isn't this the sachet I gave you?"

"This aunt gave it to me. I changed it occasionally in the room." Nangongxue explained with a blushing face.

Nangong Wei picked up the sachet, smelled it, and seemed to realize something.

She then asked with a smile, "Xue'er, have you met your sweetheart?"

"No, no." Nangong Xue shook her head immediately.

"It's okay. If we do meet, then tell aunt and bring him to see me another day. If my niece likes him, aunt will like it too." Nangong Wei smiled.

Nangong Xue still shook her head: "Auntie, I really don't."

"Really?" Nangong Wei looked at her slightly dodging eyes, and asked tentatively, "Do you know what this sachet smells like?"

"fragrance?"

"No, the scent of a man."
