I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 972
Xia Ying's heart immediately clenched tightly.

"He was injured? Brother Hao, are you sure?"

"I'm sure. I checked it when I went to put out the fire just now, and there are still bloodstains in some places. I put away all the blood-stained things." Gu Yuanhao said.

He stayed with Wen Yuan in the dark guard for half a year, and of course he has accumulated a lot of observation and evidence collection skills.

Now, he took out a piece of blood-stained cloth and handed it over.

When Xia Ying got the cloth, she immediately clenched her hands into fists.

"It sure is him!"

"Who? Your brother?" Gu Tuo asked.

Xia Ying didn't respond, but turned her head directly, and strode into her kitchen.

Today is the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, there is no moon in the night, and the winter night in the north is terribly cold, coupled with the howling cold wind, it is almost necessary to stuff all the chilling chill into the bones of people.But Xia Ying still rushed into the kitchen as fast as she could, and then she found——

"The bowl of pork rice I put on the table is gone."

The originally full bowl of rice is now only an empty bowl, and the food inside has been eaten clean, not a single grain of rice is left.

Gu Tuo remembered that Xia Ying whispered to him - "This is the New Year's Eve dinner I left for my brother!"

In fact, at that time, he didn't believe that that person would come over to eat this bowl of rice.But now, facing the empty job bowl, he believed Xia Ying's words.

"In this way, he was the one who set fire to the tablet." Gu Tuo nodded.

"Then whoever argued with him—"

Xia Ying paused.

The couple looked at each other, and then uttered two words at the same time——

"King Jin!"

As they said before, King Jin would never let go of inquiring about the life experiences of Gu Yuanlong and Gu Yuanhao brothers.No, it took only a few days to reach an agreement with the prince, and that one couldn't hold back anymore, and quietly sent someone over to investigate the situation!
They all know that every family has the habit of worshiping their ancestors on the evening of the New Year's Eve, so they simply sent someone to sit here and wait!
And if you want to completely cut off their thoughts, the best way is indeed to burn these tablets directly, so that King Jin's people can't get any evidence at all!
"This time, Wen Yuan is useless!" Xia Ying became angrier as she thought about it, "No, I must go to Concubine Wen to sue him!"

Compared with the useless Wen Yuan, she felt that her own brother was really good.

In order to protect their family, he did not know how much effort he had spent!

After hearing this, Gu Tuo whispered, "You won't be really immersed in the story he made up, will you?"

"How come? Isn't it easy for me?" Xia Ying waved her hand.

"Otherwise, you don't want to teach that guy a lesson? Now he is getting less and less interested in us! Fortunately, we helped him so hard at the beginning!"

And her brother?

They didn't give her any benefits at all, but that one had already helped her so much.How many times has her life been saved by him!

Even now that he was injured because of them, he didn't stay to heal his injuries, but disappeared without a trace as before, without causing them any trouble.

Gu Tuo nodded. "You're right. Now is the time to teach him a lesson."

"But now, let's go back to bed quickly! It's too cold!"

Xia Ying immediately trembled too.

After confirming the guess in her heart, she finally woke up completely, and she realized how thinly she was dressed now.

She hugged her arms quickly. "Let's go back to the room quickly! Anyway, the things have already been burned, so there is no need to worry about it. Let's talk about other things tomorrow!"

Knowing in her heart that there is someone who has been protecting her all the time, and she is still so wholeheartedly, Xia Ying feels very at ease inexplicably.So back in the room, after she warmed her body, she fell into a deep sleep with peace of mind.

When I wake up again, it will already be the first day of the new year.

They were far away in the capital on the first day of the new year, and had no relatives to visit, so the family simply gave the servants a holiday, and they all buried their heads in collecting the ear room that was burned into a ball of black charcoal last night.

Regarding the inside story, there is no fool in the family, so even if they don't speak, everyone thinks about it all night, and they already understand everything in their hearts.So now facing the mess in front of him, Gu Yuanlong only said indifferently——

"It doesn't matter if they are burned, since this year, they don't have to exist so sneakily."

Gu Yuanhao and Sister Fu nodded in agreement.

Xia Ying only curled her lips.

"Anyway, they have been with us for so many years. Now that the fire is gone, let's let them go decently!"

The children responded repeatedly, and the whole family will be busy with this matter for the next day.

Then on the second day of the new year, Xia Ying and Gu Tuo took Sister Bao's three children to Master Mao's residence to celebrate the new year.

There, they met King Ning's family again.

As soon as he saw them, King Ning became excited.

"Sister and brother-in-law, you guys are here! We are talking about what happened to King Jin and Concubine Rui at the New Year's Eve banquet in the palace the night before yesterday!"

King Jin, King Jin again!
Xia Ying pursed her lips. "What are they doing again?"

Mao Linglong heard something wrong from her tone.

"Sister, what happened in your family?"

"It's nothing, it's just that His Royal Highness King Jin sent people to our house to do bad things at night, and then set fire to it, so that we didn't have a good rest on the night of New Year's Eve." Xia Ying said coolly.

"They really went too far! I knew they would definitely not let you go!" Mao Linglong was furious when she heard the news, "We were too lenient to them back then!"

When Xia Ying heard this, her heart began to beat faster again.

"Sister Long, what did you do on New Year's Eve?"

"You shouldn't ask what we did, what you should ask is what King Jin did!" Mao Linglong said coldly.

King Ning couldn't hold back anymore. "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that the sixth brother congratulated the prince on the spot at the New Year's Eve banquet for finally recovering the pearl left behind by the people. He also congratulated the prince for finding two right-hand men for himself because of this daughter, and the prince's reputation. It sounds much better. You know who the two right-hand men are talking about."

"Of course I know, isn't it us?" Xia Ying snorted softly, "And then? King Jin started making fuss about Fu's identity as her father?"

"Does it need to be said? One is a high-ranking prince, and the other is a craftsman who escaped from the Shenji camp. The status gap between the two is not small! But the prince's own daughter calls such a person a father, and refuses to call him father." Acknowledging the prince as his father, doesn't it mean that the prince is not as good as an ordinary craftsman? This is a great humiliation for the prince!" Ning Wang said with a smile.

After a pause, he said again——

"Therefore, the King of Jin forced the crown prince to agree to grant the title to the second brother-in-law!"
