More than one scholar said this, and some seemed to be joking. Nangong Zeyue could see clearly that the scholars' admiration for Yueniang's talent was palpable.

If the scholars knew that Yueniang lived in Jiang Mansion, I'm afraid the scholars would really be able to come to propose marriage.

I really can’t say this.

"How's it going, Uncle Master, in the palace? Did the assessment at Tai Hospital go well today?" Nangong Zeyue changed the subject.

"Uncle Lin is very good. If nothing else happens, Uncle Lin can hold an official position in the hospital."

The two of them talked and walked side by side to the flower hall of Xingyue Courtyard.

After Nangong Zeyue sat down, Lan'er brought tea.

Jiang Shuyue went back to the inner room and changed into comfortable clothes.

Apart from the jewelry, her silky black hair was tied loosely behind her head with a ribbon, looking fresh and elegant.

Nangong Zeyue quickly looked away with just one glance, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea and put it on the opposite side.

Jiang Shuyue walked over and sat down, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that it's just the two of us. It would be great if Du Yutong was here too. There are so many people and it's lively."

"When Su Jin and Su Nan arrive, won't it be lively?"

"Nangong Zeyue, what do you think of Miss Du?"

Nangong Zeyue's fox eyes were full of vigilance, "What does she have to do with me?"

Then he turned to Lan'er and said, "The young master should be playing in the garden at home right now. Bring him over and have dinner with him."

"Don't change the subject, just tell me whether you two are suitable or not?"

"I have only met her once, when she went to your medical clinic. She and I are not familiar with each other and it is inappropriate."

Jiang Shuyue looked at Nangong Zeyue as if she were a fool, "Who said it's inappropriate if you don't know her well? It's love at first sight, do you understand?"

"You can pull me down. It's obviously because of sex. If someone tells you that you fell in love at first sight in the future, don't believe it. I'm a man. Of course I understand men's thoughts best. There are countless ugly women on the street, but I haven't seen anyone go up to me." Tell them it’s love at first sight.”

Jiang Shuyue: "..." It seems reasonable.

"What is really suitable should be love that lasts for a long time, just like..."

"Mom, does daddy like wild apples?"

Before Nangong Zeyue could say anything, she was interrupted by Sui Sui who flew in.

The soft and glutinous dumpling bumped into her arms, and Jiang Shuyue's heart softened. She hugged her son and let out a "chirp".

"Mom didn't have time to see your father taste it, but he must like it." Jiang Shuyue never lied in front of her son. Although there were exceptions, they were all related to that person.

"Uncle Nangong served wild apples for dinner yesterday. Daddy will definitely like it."

Just when Jiang Shuyue was about to take her son to sit next to her, Sui Sui broke away and said, "There are differences between men and women. The child will sit with Uncle Nangong."

After saying that, she walked to the opposite side with a serious face. Nangong Zeyue picked up Suisui and placed it beside him skillfully.

Jiang Shuyue was speechless. When the little guy wanted to stick to her, he was like a dog-skin plaster. After getting tired of it, he said there was a difference between men and women.

Seeing Jiang Shuyue holding her forehead, Nangong Zeyue chuckled and said, "He will grow up eventually. It is a good thing to become independent early."

"When did he become independent? He went to sleep with you next door last night. Don't think I don't know." Jiang Shuyue glared at Nangong Zeyue angrily.

"Uncle Nangong is a man, and the child is also a man. I can live in the same house with Uncle Nangong."

Nangong Zeyue held back her laughter. He would not say that he would habitually pull his pajamas and hold them in his hands when he went to bed every night.

After a while, Qiu Ju led the maid to bring food and wine.

That night, Jiang Shuyue had a good sleep.

At this time, the lights in Taiwei's mansion were still bright. Before Wu Taiwei could change out of his official robe, he was called over by the old lady.

As soon as Wu Taiwei entered the room, he saw two legitimate sons and a concubine in the room.

"Mother, what are you..." Wu Taiwei didn't understand why his mother asked the children to come over so late.

He bowed and sat down under the old lady.

"I know everything about the Wei family today. Your Majesty is merciful. He confiscated the Wei family and did not exile his family members. I just want to ask, will his affairs involve us?"

Mrs. Wu stared at Taiwei Wu steadily, not missing a trace on his face, for fear that he would lie to prevent herself from being angry.

"No, I know it well. Although I have helped him in the past, it was just a matter of favor."

Seeing her son's decisive words, Mrs. Wu closed her eyes slightly and took a deep breath.

She had been worrying for nothing all day, and she could finally let go of her worries.

After a while, Mrs. Wu looked seriously at her son and three grandchildren.

"You all listen to me. Today is different from the past. We can no longer form cliques for personal gain."

Wu Taiwei said: "My son doesn't know how to do it. In the past, he was forced by the situation. Besides, the Queen Mother's aunt was overpowering Queen Wei, so the conveniences she gave him were insignificant."

Mrs. Wu nodded with satisfaction, "That's good."

"Grandma, don't worry, my grandson won't do it either. Yesterday, my friend asked me whether I could help him with the scientific examination this year. I decisively refused." Wu Lin, the second son of Wu, was a concubine and he was the first to express his stance.

Taiwei Wu arranged a job for Wu Lin in the Ministry of Etiquette. The venue for this year's scientific examination is still in Gongyuan. The Ministry of Rites sent people to prepare for the examination room, and Wu Lin was among them.

Wu Kai, the eldest son of Wu, also stood up and saluted: "Grandma, don't worry, my grandson did seek personal gain in Honglu Temple, but after the new emperor ascended the throne, everyone restrained himself."

Honglu Temple is responsible for receiving foreign envoys, and all the good people inside are in the hands of wealthy families. In the past, the management was chaotic, and there were not many people inside who were well-educated.

Wu Taiwei glared at Wu Kai, "Be more careful when you are on duty in the future. Although the emperor is young, he is not a simple person."

Wu Kai bowed his hands, "I understand. For example, the emperor sentenced the prime minister to take weapons privately. If the sentence is too severe, the Wei family can also be charged with privately raising a dead soldier with bad intentions."

Wu Xu, the third son of the Wu family, raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "Brother, you and dad still underestimated the emperor."

Wu Taiwei was not angry at all. The third son worked in the Ministry of War. Although he seemed rough, he was more delicate than the other two sons.

Recalling the new people the emperor promoted recently, one of them was from the loyal and brave mansion of his wife's family.

He frowned slightly: "Old Third, do you mean that the emperor intends to suppress old officials and support new nobles?"

"This is only one aspect. We should be careful in the future. We don't seek merit, but we should avoid mistakes. Especially father, if the emperor intends to appoint someone as prime minister, father must fully support it to show loyalty."

Wu Taiwei understood, "Father, I understand that as long as you are loyal to the emperor, the emperor will definitely not target the Wu family."

"The Wei family members were not exiled, but they were bound to be dismissed. If there are girls from the Wei family who are living in a brothel, you must not touch them." When Mrs. Wu said this, a trace of discomfort flashed across her face.

Wu Taiwei turned his head and looked at his three sons, and said sternly: "Have you remembered your grandmother's words?"

Wu Kai: "..."

Wu Lin: "..."

Wu Xu glanced at his two brothers tactfully, "Grandma, don't worry, I will keep an eye on my eldest and second brothers and will never do anything to take advantage of others' misfortunes."
