I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 1276 Her father's surname is Xiang
After Xia Ying gave an order, the housekeeper Lu Yueniang rushed to arrange it.

Soon, a sumptuous table of wine and food was ready.

Gu Yuanlong quickly pulled Xia Ying and Gu Tuo to sit down, and he began to pour wine for them cup by cup.

They have lived together under the same roof for so many years, and they have known each other so well that they couldn't be more familiar with each other, so Gu Yuanlong didn't lie to them.Now all his gratitude can only be turned into glasses of wine to toast to the parents.

Gu Tuo and Xia Ying also readily took his wine.

In the end, the whole family was drunk.

Xia Ying didn't even know how she was sent back to the room.

Fortunately, Lu Yueniang is careful.As early as when Xia Ying was sent back to her room to rest, she had already fed them all tea, so when she woke up, although Xia Ying felt tired, she didn't have a headache at all.

As long as she lies down for another day, she will be able to recover almost.

Now she is terribly tired, but in a very happy mood.

Finally, she and Gu Tuo have worked hard until now, and their original intention has been completely realized!
She was too lazy to take care of it, she just lay lazily on the bed and fell asleep in the dark.

The same goes for Gu Tuo and Gu Yuanlong.

At any rate, Gu Tuo still has one more day of leave, so now he is still sleeping with Xia Ying in his arms.It's been a long time since he slept so comfortably with his wife in his arms!
As for Gu Yuanlong...

When they were drinking yesterday, the emperor sent another person to inform him that he would be adjusted to his post soon.

"My lord Gu, please rest at your residence for a few days. After the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple give you the results of the investigation, you will be very busy!"

Gu Yuanlong couldn't ask for more.

Don't look at his calm performance before, but after all, this is a major event related to the century-old reputation of the Zhai family, so he must still value it in his heart.Therefore, if people continue to work in the palace now, he is probably absent-minded.

He needs to take a good rest and relax in order to face the next bombardment of information.

However, before they got any information from the imperial court, someone had already come to their door.

The person who came was Qin Yuanlang.

At first, Xia Ying thought he was here to see Lu Yueniang and her daughter.

But no.

"Mrs. Ronghua, I heard that you have a good relationship with the people in the secret guard?"

As soon as they met, Qin Yuanlang got straight to the point.

Xia Ying's face darkened slightly. "This doesn't seem to have much to do with you, Mr. Qin, does it?"

"Yes." Qin Yuanlang nodded, "I originally had an uncle named Xiang Yichang. He was my father's best friend, and he was also a very outstanding young man. If nothing else, their family's The family business should belong to him. As a result, more than 20 years ago, this uncle entered the palace to meet the late emperor, and he never came back. Until now, we have never seen his dead body."

"Master Qin means that you want me to use the relationship of the hidden guard to help you find someone?"

"No, we have already found out the whereabouts of Uncle Shi - he was hacked to pieces by the second sister, the current leader of the dark guards, more than 20 years ago."

Ga?
Xia Ying's heart beat suddenly accelerated.

Originally dizzy and lacking in energy due to the aftereffects of drunkenness, she immediately regained her spirits.

"Don't tell me that more than 20 years ago, the first emperor planned to betroth the second sister to your uncle named Xiang?"

Qin Yuanlang nodded. "Exactly."

Xia Ying helped her forehead.

It turns out that the surname of her biological father is Xiang?Now she knows.

Gu Tuo's eyes also darkened. "I've never heard you mention this, Admiral."

"It's not something honorable for a man to miss his noble daughter, who he can't afford, in the end. How can we have the face to spread it around?" Qin Yuanlang smiled wryly.

"Then why do you come to our house to ask about this now?" Xia Ying asked.

"That's because the Xiang family is now implicated in the extermination of the Zhai family."

I go!

Xia Ying's head, which was not very bright, was in pain.

Her mind was already a mess.

And Qin Yuanlang said again: "Of course the Xiang family recognizes what they did to the Zhai family. It's just that Madam Ronghua must also know that the reason why they did such things in the first place was entirely at the order of the late emperor. As a result, now, in order to maintain the reputation of the late emperor, the emperor intends to push all the responsibility on their heads and let their family shoulder the burden! If the charges are really convicted, the Xiang family will soon lose their protection. Then, a Zhai family came up. , another family will be destroyed because of this. When will it be the end of such a grievance?"

Xia Ying couldn't help but sneered again.

"I should have guessed it a long time ago. The emperor's so-called restoration of the Zhai family's reputation is actually the same as the previous emperor's operation, just changing the soup without changing the medicine."

The first emperor was displeased that someone accused him of his negligence, so he ordered someone to find an excuse to destroy the Zhai family.

And now the emperor?
In order to win over the Zhai family, he dragged out another family as a backup.How innocent is this family that is about to be scourgeed?
"However, they knew that it was wrong to harm the Zhai family, but they still did it. This shows that the surname Xiang wanted to flatter the late emperor. After completing that matter, they must have reaped a lot of benefits, right? Now they will end up like this The fate is just the retribution they got for ignoring their conscience in order to get promoted and get rich!" Gu Tuo said coldly.

He didn't feel how pitiful these people were.

Qin Yuanlang's cheeks were reddened by the scolding.

"Shen Qihou's words are very true. It is true that they disregarded their conscience in order to please the emperor, and they deserve this end now. It's just that our two families are family friends after all. Now that their family is in trouble, I still have to help them out. of."

"Then what do you plan for me to do? Go to Second Sister and ask her to intercede for this family?" Xia Ying snorted softly, "Do you think Second Sister will agree?"

What the late emperor did back then disgusted her so badly that the second sister killed that man on the spot!If I remind her of this old thing now, will Second Sister feel guilty?
Xia Ying's answer here is no.

Even she, in fact, has no idea about this biological father's family in her heart.

Listening to Qin Yuanlang talking about this matter now, she can only feel disgusted in her heart.

Qin Yuanlang shook his head. "I don't dare to expect my second sister to show up. However, I know that Ye Jing, the next commander of the hidden guards, is the biological son of my second sister and my uncle. Then, if Mrs. Ronghua asks him to help me move around, this matter There is still room for improvement.”

Hey, doesn't he know the relationship between her and Ye Jing?

Xia Ying was stunned for a moment, and immediately a strange feeling emerged in her heart.

The fact that the second sister gave birth to twins was actually concealed so well by them!

Even until now, they have protected her so well that no one related to her blood knows her true identity!
