Nangong Xu was silent for a long time and said faintly, "mother asked me to take good care of you before she died. Unfortunately..." Nangong Xu shook his head and didn't get up to leave. Finally, he just asked Nangong Mo to go back to the Duke of Chu if he had nothing to do in the future.

Looking at Nangong Xu's back, Nangong Mo's heart was mixed for a while. In fact, Nangong Xu was only 13 years old when Meng passed away. Even when Nangong Qing was sent away, Nangong Xu was only 16 years old. At this age, I was just a middle school student who only knew how to eat, drink and ask my parents for money in my previous life. Even in summer, when a man is 20 and crown, he is still a juvenile. Nangong Mo believes that Nangong Xu didn't let her be sent to Danyang because he gave up his sister. Maybe it's just because he thinks it's safer outside than Jinling City. So... Who will threaten nangongqing's safety? Is it the same person who sold her to the bandits' nest in Danyang?

After lunch, Nangong Mo and Wei Junmo got up and left the Duke of Chu to return to Jingjiang Prefecture. After returning home, Wei Junmo's wedding leave was used up, and he was ready to start on duty. Although the post of Jingwei commander is relatively free, it is not easy to go to work every day like some small Yamen.

In the government house of the state of Chu, Nangong Xu sat in his study, leaning against a chair and closing his eyes. A man in gray pushed the door in and respectfully said, "childe, the eldest lady and the son of Wei are back." Nangong Xu opened his eyes and nodded slightly and asked, "where's father?" the man in gray hesitated and said, "Grandpa is out."

"Go out?" Nangong Xu sat up and said faintly, "as soon as Mo'er's front foot left, his back foot went out?"

The man in gray looked up at him strangely. Although the eldest lady returned today, it was not stipulated that no one was allowed to go out on the day she returned. As long as the eldest lady returns to the door, isn't he there? "Maybe... What's the matter?"

"Where have you been?"

The man in grey respectfully said, "it seems that he went out of the city to Zhuangzi outside the city."

Nangong Xu was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "I see. Let's go and see Mrs. Zheng."

The black prison of the Duke of Chu is in a small courtyard in the most remote corner in the northwest. Because it is too remote, the yard is usually uninhabited, but some firewood, Silver Charcoal and so on are provided for the backyard. In the early years, it was heavily guarded. These years, it was gradually abandoned. Naturally, no one was guarding it. Now Zheng is locked here, only two people are guarding at the gate of the hospital and someone is guarding at the gate of the dungeon.

Seeing Nangong Xu, the man guarding the door hurried forward to salute, "I've seen the eldest childe."

Nangong Xu nodded slightly and said, "let me see madam."

The guard was a little embarrassed and said, "report to the eldest childe, the master has ordered no one to see Zheng."

Nangong Xu's face sank. "Anyway, Zheng was also the head mother of the Duke of Chu. Although he made a mistake, it's unbearable to be locked in such a place to suffer. I'll send some food to Mrs. Zheng and leave after a few words." looking at the guard's hesitation, Nangong Xu said: "Now my wife is locked up here, but... Who knows if she will be released."

Zheng has been favored in the mansion for more than ten years. When the guards think about it, they think Nangong Xu's words are true. Besides, the eldest childe is not something they can offend casually if they want to offend. Finally, they conceded and let Nangong Xu go in.

The dungeon was built under the ground. Naturally, it was dark and damp. In addition, it was useless for many years. As soon as he entered the door, a strange smell of cold, moldy and wet came to his face. Nangong Xu frowned and waved back the guard. He only took the gray man with a food box into the dungeon. The dungeon was quiet, and even the sound of his feet seemed to echo. Zheng was locked in only two cells inside and outside In the room, a bean candle was burning on a small oil lamp, as if it would go out at any time. There were many brown marks on the surrounding walls. What a cruel place the perpetrator was many years ago.

Zheng has only been locked up for a few days. Obviously, he can't get used to such an environment. A man shrinks in the haystack and shudders. When he hears something, he immediately gets out, jumps to the railing of the cage and calls, "let me out! Let me out!"

Nangong Xu stood at the door and looked calmly at the pale, panic stricken woman in front of her. Zheng was obviously stunned when he saw Nangong Xu. She didn't expect Nangong Xu to come here, "you... How could you be here?" Nangong Xu said, "naturally, I came to visit my wife. How are you these days?"

Zheng stretched out his hand to grab his clothes and shouted, "let me out! I'm wronged. I didn't do those things. I didn't... I didn't harm Nangong Mo!"

Nangong Xu sneered in a low voice: "wronged? Who believes what madam said? I'm afraid... Many things even madam can't remember clearly. Can you do it?" Zheng glared at her and said, "I didn't ask someone to sell Nangong Mo! The matter of Daguang temple... Those people are not mine! Someone calculated me!"

"Unfortunately, my father didn't believe it."

Zheng finally calmed down and saw that nangongxu wasn't here to save her. He sat down slowly against the railing and said, "in that case, what's the eldest childe doing here?" nangongxu raised his eyebrow and said: "I just came to tell my wife that my father is probably going to marry a stepwife. The Duke of Chu will have a decent wife soon. What do you think you will do then, madam?"

Zheng stared at nangongxu warily. Of course, she didn't think nangongxu came here just to tell her the news. Although the news that Nangong Huai is going to marry her stephusband makes her painful and hated, the current environment makes her more powerless. Nangong Xu continued: "today is the day when Mo'er returns home, and shu'er also comes back. Originally, she wanted to ask her father to let her go. Unfortunately, her father refused without hesitation. Poor shu'er... Almost miscarried. I heard... I'm afraid she can't keep her baby."

"Shu'er has?!" Zheng Shi was happy at first, and then a deeper panic. Even when shu'er had the child of the emperor's eldest grandson, Nangong Huai refused to let herself out. Obviously, she was not ready to let her out again. To make her live in this dark dungeon forever, without enough food and clothing... Zheng shivered and looked at the man in front of her in fear, "what do you want to say?"

Nangong Xu asked, "madam, do you still want to go out?"

Zheng's eyes lit up, stared at Nangong Xu and said, "what conditions do you have? No... why do you want to help me? Don't you hate me like Nangong Hui?"
