Nangong Mo's lips evoked a mocking smile, as if he didn't see the kind smile on Zheng's face. Light way: "thank you father, I will handle it."

This was a refusal. Nangong Huai didn't say anything. He was silent and said, "just know what you know." the eldest daughter's rejection of Zheng has been so clear that Nangong Huai is by no means a fool. She also knows that the more forced she is, the worse things will get. In the end, she will only lose the face of the Duke of Chu.

Sure enough, Nangong Mo continued, "it's OK to have my sister-in-law help. I'll visit old lady Xie in person tomorrow, and I'll ask my aunt and uncle Xie to come earlier that day."

Nangong Huai hesitated and said, "please thank madam Hou. Is this appropriate?"

Nangong Mo said with a smile, "it's not more inappropriate than... My mother and Mrs. Xie Hou had a good relationship when they were young. If you want to see mother's face, aunt Xie won't care about giving advice to the younger generation." after listening to Nangong Mo's plan, Nangong Huai was completely speechless. He was not completely unaware of the Nangong family's situation in recent years. Because of being a wife, those women who boast of noble status or valuable status never disdain to set foot in the government of the state of Chu. No matter how powerful nangonghuai is, he can't control the actions of the women's family members. Moreover, the actions of these rich women themselves largely reflect the thoughts of his majesty. He dared not go to trouble even if he was angry. If the Nangong family could normally be admitted into the powerful circle of Jinling because of the return of his eldest daughter, instead of relying on his meritorious deeds, he would be much easier.

"Mo'er is considerate. In that case, you are in charge of this banquet." Nangong Huai nodded and finally made a decision. Zheng's face turned pale. It was her right and obligation to organize the banquet in the house. It seemed that the master had to hand it over to Nangong Mo, but it was a fatal blow to Zheng's wife. As soon as Nangong Huai's mouth was out, Zheng's body couldn't help shaking, as if he had seen the mocking eyes of the people in the hall.

"Daddy!" Nangong Shu shouted, "Daddy, where do you want your mother's face?"

Nangong Huai said impatiently, "it's just a small matter. It's not that you won't let your housekeeper. A girl's family should learn three obediences and four virtues. Don't think about competing for power and profit all day."

Nangong Shu's eyes were red and she stamped her feet and shouted, "since Nangong Mo came back, Dad, you've only regarded her as a daughter, haven't you?" she ran out with her face covered and crying. Sitting on one side, Lin Shi looked at Nangong Shu's figure running out, hesitated, got up and hurried out.

"Shu'er!" Zheng cried painfully, looked back at Nangong, took a look, and gritted his teeth; "Shu'er is right, sir... Can't our family's feelings for so many years be equal to that of a eldest lady?" while talking, she directly delimited Nangong mo. This series of changes in the hall did not disturb Nangong mo. Nangong Mo sat quietly drinking tea, looked at the resentful Zheng and said leisurely: "Mrs. Wan, why do you force your father so hard? Your father doesn't want to give you the identity on purpose. Besides, these years... My father has been unwilling to marry a stepwife for you, so that the Duke of Chu doesn't even have a person in charge of the overall situation. Isn't it enough?"

Originally, he watched his beloved daughter run out crying, his wife who had been together for so many years had a resentful look in her eyes, and Nangong Huai, who was somewhat shaken, changed her eyes slightly, and her softened look suddenly became cold again. Mo'er was right, and he has done his utmost to the Zheng family in recent years. Zheng's identity is not enough to be canonized by the Imperial College, so he can't go to the palace for dinner, and she is not favored by the ladies in the capital It's not his fault, but Zheng's low status. Zheng's resentment against him is greedy.

Seeing Nangong Huai's look, Zheng knew it was over. He closed his eyes and pressed down his anger. Zheng bowed his head and said, "Miss, I know I'm wrong. Forgive me, sir."

Although Nangong Huai was unhappy for a moment, he sighed when he saw the humble appearance of his wife who had been together for more than ten years, waved his hand and said, "well, I'll leave it to Mo'er. She is the legitimate daughter of the Duke of the state of Chu. She should learn to do these things, and outsiders can't say anything. Just let someone go to the accounting room to pay money." At last, he took a look at Nangong Mo, and Nangong Huai got up and went out.

The hall was quiet. Nangong Xu and Nangong Hui sat in silence. Nangong Hui looked at Zheng with some vigilance and saw another blockage in Zheng's heart. After raising for so many years, they were still unfamiliar!

"The eldest lady is really good." after all, she still couldn't help it. She couldn't care that Nangong Xu and Nangong Hui were still on the scene, Zheng said.

Nangong Mo raised his eyes and calmly said, "Mrs. Wan is laughing."

"Na, Li." Zheng clenched his teeth.

Nangong Mo got up and said leisurely, "it's nothing. I'll go first."

Nangong Hui also quickly put down his tea cup and got up and said, "Mo'er, I'll go with you. The second brother has something to tell you." Nangong Mo didn't care, nodded and walked out one after another. Looking at their arrogance, Zheng was so angry that he was no longer in the mood to deal with Nangong Xu and turned around with his handkerchief. Nangong Xu was left alone in the empty hall. He was fascinated by an ancient painting on the wall for a moment. Nangong Xu shook his head and sighed helplessly He breathed.

The next morning, Nangong Mo got into the carriage of the Duke of Chu and went to the Xie family across the street. The Xie family also lives in a prominent position in the imperial city. Although it doesn't look as magnificent as the Duke of Chu, it can be regarded as the largest mansion in Jinling. Even princes, prefectures and even the prince's residence can't compare. Xie's house was originally the old house of the Xie family. After Beiyuan occupied the Central Plains, the Xie family retired from the mountains and forests. The old house was occupied by Beiyuan people and transformed into the king's house. Today, after the founding of the country, the residence has been returned to the Xie family, and all prohibited places have been demolished. The Xie family has not been renovated for some reasons. Therefore, although the Xie family has a large area, it no longer has the glory of a hundred years ago.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the Xie family. Early on, a beautiful young woman came out with a group of stewards. Nangong Mo helped the man listening to the piano to the car. The young woman immediately welcomed him and said with a smile, "this is the eldest lady of the Duke of Chu?" Nangong Mo nodded and smiled, "Madam Xie."

The smile on the young woman's face was even worse. She came forward and took Nangong Mo's hand and said, "I've heard three younger sisters talk about you and call me sister-in-law. Grandma and mother are waiting for you. Let's go in."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Mrs. Xie Shao nodded and said with a smile, "I'm worthy of being a miss of the Duke of Chu. I don't like those girls. Come on, let's go."
