Chapter 542 Untitled
Different from the elation of people inside and outside Yucheng, in the Zhenguogong Mansion at this moment, there is a small courtyard that is different from other courtyards.

Nangong Shiluo, who has been in Yucheng for some time, is sitting alone in the gazebo, looking south.

Every day, when the evening is approaching, she habitually gazes towards the south.

Today, only Nangong Shiluo, who is barely half of the mistress, lives in the entire Zhen Guogong Mansion.

The men of the Shangguan family, because of the Blood Domain Art, have the same life span as ordinary people.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the ancestors of the Shangguan family would marry ordinary women or women with average martial arts skills as their wives.

The Shangguan family inherited the title of the Duke of Zhenguo, and there are many people inside and outside watching. Therefore, in order to prevent someone from secretly manipulating the Shangguan family by taking advantage of their status.

Only ordinary women also have a limited lifespan, so that the Shangguan family can avoid being controlled by outsiders.

Otherwise, if there is an old grandmother with a high level of cultivation, it is difficult to say whether there will be problems within the Shangguan family.

Therefore, in order to avoid such things from happening as much as possible, the ancestors of the Shangguan family usually subconsciously choose to marry ordinary women.

As soon as Nangong Shiluo came to the Duke's Mansion, she took out the token given to her by Shangguan Qiuyu and followed Tie Liu and others, and Nangong Shiluo basically took charge of the whole Zhen Guogong Mansion.

Of course, this is only on the surface, and Nangong Shiluo still has no way to enter some of the more important and hidden places (such as Shangguanxiong's study room, Shangguan's home martial arts secret pavilion, etc.).

However, she can still completely decide things like ordering the servants and guards in the mansion, and arranging an independent small courtyard.

Since Nangong Shiluo came to Shangguan's house, she has been busy with what Shangguan Qiuyu told her, although it was quite different from what Shangguan Qiuyu described.

It wasn't that Nangong Shiluo didn't listen on purpose, but that she didn't know what Shangguan Qiuyu was talking about.

At the beginning, all she could think about was that Shangguan Qiuyu was about to go to war, and she was worried about it, but she couldn't remember other things in her mind.

She simply understood that Shangguan Qiuyu wanted a more comfortable environment, so most of the layout of the courtyard was arranged according to her preferences.

When she first entered the Zhen Guo Duke's Mansion, she was once oppressed by its severity and couldn't breathe.

This is not to blame for her frailty, but Shangguan Qiuyu's cheap grandfather spent most of his life in the army, and naturally, the entire Duke's Mansion became a different kind of military camp.

This makes it impossible for Nangong Shiluo, who has never entered a military camp, not to be depressed, and it would be good if he didn't escape immediately.

However, when she thought about what Shangguan Qiuyu told her when she came here, she resisted the discomfort and stayed in the Duke's mansion.

Of course, besides her, there was also Nangong Muxue.

It's funny to say, as Nangong Muxue who came from the Nangong family, she has been in contact with more people and things since she was a child than Nangong Shiluo.

However, at the moment when she first entered the Duke's Mansion, Nangong Muxue was also overwhelmed by the oppression in the Duke's Mansion.

If it wasn't for Nangong Shiluo to force her to stay, she might also be unwilling to stay in this country's mansion for a while.

Because of the two women, Nangong Shiluo and Nangong Muxue, the whole Duke's mansion has diluted the depressive atmosphere in many mansions.

Originally, there were no maids in the Duke's mansion, but considering Nangong Shiluo's status, the steward of the mansion specially transferred a group of maids from the fiefdom of Shangguan's family.

However, those delicate-looking maids are not weak in their skills.

If it weren't for seeing them doing housework and serving people, people who didn't know would think they were a group of female soldiers. Well, well, they were actually female soldiers.

There is no way, Nangong Shiluo is a woman, and at the same time, she is also the daughter-in-law personally recognized by the Duke of Zhen. The Duke's mansion is full of old men, so naturally there is no way to take care of her.

Fortunately, the Shangguan family always has a hostess, so naturally they specially trained a group of maids, but those maids also inherited the characteristics of the Shangguan family.

One is higher in martial arts than the other, which made Nangong Muxue start to doubt life when she saw it.

With these maids transferred from Shangguan's fiefdom, Nangong Shiluo also sent back all the maids brought by her family.

Except for Lian'er, a maid who grew up with her, there was not a single maid from the Nangong family left behind.

Just when Nangong Shiluo was in a daze, Nangong Muxue ran in from outside in a hurry, with an excited look on her face, as if she had won a big prize.

After a period of adaptation, Nangong Muxue is no longer so cautious when entering the Duke's Mansion, and all the iron guards guarding the gate are aware of the relationship between Nangong Muxue and Nangong Shiluo.

Naturally, she would not embarrass her. It can be said that she, Nangong Muxue, was the only outsider who could enter and leave the Duke's mansion freely without being inspected.

Nangong Muxue, who ran into the yard in a hurry, saw that her cousin didn't notice her, but sat in the gazebo blankly in a daze.

This made her roll her eyes involuntarily, and then she walked lightly, and came to Nangong Shiluo, and sat by herself after taking a big sip of water.

Nangong Shiluo only heard the movement, she came back to look at her cousin, and said in surprise:

"Cousin, why are you here?"

"Uh, why can't I come?" Nangong Muxue said angrily when she heard her question.

"Forehead"

"Didn't you go to the National Academy? Why do you still have time to come out?" Nangong Shiluo wondered.

"What's more, I said, are you really planning to give up?" Nangong Muxue asked.

"Brother Yu is not here, what am I going to do?" Nangong Shiluo shook her head and said.

"Uh, okay." Nangong Muxue was also speechless about her cousin's stubbornness.

However, with Nangong Shiluo's current status, there is no need to go to any national college to study with Duke Zhen Guo personally acknowledging her as his prospective daughter-in-law.

The Shangguan family has stood for thousands of years. As a family of God of War, there are many secrets of their exercises. Instead of going to the National Academy to study, it is better to choose the ones nearby.

This may be ten times or a hundred times better than what he got in the National Academy, which made Nangong Muxue envious.

So, he stopped persuading, but pretended to be mysterious and said:

"Cousin, I have some good news, do you want to know?"

Immediately, Nangong Shiluo couldn't help being a little curious, showing an appearance that you beg me quickly, and I'll tell you if you beg me.

"What good news? Could it be that you have made a breakthrough, cousin?" Nangong Shiluo blinked her eyes and said joyfully.

"Although not yet, it will be soon." Nangong Muxue said proudly.

"Isn't it? What made you so happy, cousin?" Nangong Shiluo said.

Nangong Muxue shook her head vigorously, pointed at Nangong Shiluo and said:
"It's not that I'm happy, it's that you should be happy."

"Me?" Nangong Shiluo asked with a blank face.

Nangong Muxue nodded, looked at her cousin opposite her with an ambiguous expression, and said in a sour tone:

"Of course it's you. Cousin, I got definite news that your brother Yu should be back soon."
