Before Nan Lin'an could speak, Qiao, who was behind him, had a short memory and said hurriedly, "All the maids in Moyuan saw it. Nan Mo smashed the table with a hoe like crazy in front of Lian'er and said something to Lian'er, which scared Lian'er."

After saying this, Mrs. Qiao quickly shrank back behind her man. As a woman in the inner house, she was indeed afraid of this uncle, not to mention that she had just been slapped twice by the nanny.

It's just that her daughter suddenly became a little crazy, and even locked herself in the room and smashed things around. She was really afraid that something might happen to her daughter, and their family was counting on their daughter to make a comeback!

Nan Gubei's eyes were as cold as ice, as if there was a flash of fire in them, and he shouted sternly, "I want to know what exactly did your second branch do to make my usually well-behaved and sensible daughter pick up a hoe and smash the table!"

After saying this, he made a gesture to expel the guest. "I will investigate what happened yesterday, but from now on, the Second House will no longer have anything to do with my General's Mansion. Get out!"

No longer have anything to do with the General’s Mansion!

This sentence really scared the couple of the second branch. The reason why the second branch can now have a place in the capital is because of the relationship with the General's Mansion.

Once this relationship is gone, who in the capital will recognize the Second Branch as a family!

"Brother, you can't do this. I am your biological brother. Why should you make a fuss over such a small matter and break up the relationship?" Nan Lin'an kept speaking softly.

He even pulled Qiao to his knees and apologize to Nan Mo.

Qiao refused to obey, and during the struggle, Nan Gubei's cold voice came, "You and I can't be considered brothers. After all, we are just half-brothers!"

After saying this, he ignored the shocked cries for mercy from the second wife and directly signaled the guards waiting outside to kick the man out.

The second branch was able to move to the capital from her hometown in Jian'an to gain a foothold because there was no mistress in the general's mansion. Nan Gubei, the general, had to go to the border to fight the enemy, leaving his young girl alone without anyone to take care of her. That's why he asked someone to bring the second branch from his hometown to take care of the young Nan Mo.

Now, after so many years, the second son, Nan Lin'an, used the relationship in the General's Mansion to get a job in Jingzhao Yin. After Nan Gubei returned to Beijing three years ago, he bought the house next to the General's Mansion and gave it to the second son to set up his own residence, so that they now had their own mansion.

The family now lives a life of luxury thanks to the general's mansion, but they have forgotten how they were ostracized in their hometown and how they were brought to this place where high-ranking officials gather!

At this moment, the entire main hall finally became quiet with only the father and daughter left.

Nan Gubei was silent for a moment, then raised his eyes and said hesitantly, "Can you tell Dad what happened yesterday?"

Nan Mo's eyes were slightly lowered, and her slender white hands were holding the teacup. She had not yet figured out how to tell others about the drugging she had done at the farm yesterday.

The news of Master Chen's death on the farm and Gong Zhan's poisoning would surely spread throughout the capital within the next two days at the latest. Some of her plans had not yet been implemented, so there were some things she could not say more about.

At this time, Nan Gubei's voice rang out, "If you don't want to say that dad doesn't care, then just say that. It doesn't matter whether it's Nanlian or the second house. Dad treated them well in the past because you thought they were good.

Dad thought the second branch was really kind to you, so he indulged them again and again. Since they are so ungrateful, Dad will definitely not let them have it easy. "

Nan Mo raised her head, her eyes clear and transparent, "Dad, are you sure whether Nan Lian's fright is related to my daughter?"

Nan Gubei noticed a flash of tentative look in the pair of clear and insightful phoenix eyes opposite him, and felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.

He sighed and said slowly, "It doesn't matter if it has anything to do with you or not. It doesn't matter whether it has anything to do with you or not. Dad just needs to know that they made you angry. As for right or wrong, if you are angry, it is their fault."

Facing such a doting and stubborn father, Nan Mo felt inexplicably warm in her heart, which made her relax a little the vigilance and alertness that she had in her bones as a secret agent.

Nan Gubei picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said earnestly, "Mo'er, Daddy has cared too little about you over the years, and this is what Daddy owes you.

Today, Dad wants you to remember that no matter what injustice you suffer in the future, you don’t have to endure it. You are Dad’s daughter, the eldest daughter of the General’s Mansion, and you have Dad as your backer.

So you don’t have to be restrained or wronged. You can live a carefree life in the capital without being afraid of anyone. Your father will be there for you. "

The words "Dad is here for you" made Nan Mo's eyes smile, "Don't worry, Dad. I won't let myself suffer."

Nan Gubei paused, "The people in your courtyard have been sold. The butler will go to the pawnshop to buy new ones these days. If you want to go, come with me and take a look. Buy whatever you like. Don't save money. All the money in the general's mansion is yours."

Nan Mo looked at him tenderly and said, "Thank you, Dad." She was indeed planning to personally select maids and servants for the courtyard.

"Silly girl, why are you saying thank you to your own father?"

Looking at his sensible daughter, Nan Gubei felt even more guilty. He owed his daughter too much over the years. After returning to Beijing from the border three years ago, all the good things were given to his daughter.

But after all, the child has grown up and has her own little thoughts. As a father, there are some things he cannot do too personally. He dare not let the housekeeper or the nanny interfere, for fear that his daughter, who is not close to him to begin with, will become more suspicious.

So when his daughter got close to the second wife, he just let her do it, as long as his daughter was happy.

Only now did he realize that it was all his fault after all, and he should have talked and shared his feelings with his daughter more often.

-

Not long after Nan Mo returned to her own courtyard, a guard appeared in the study of the main courtyard.

"I greet the general."

Nan Gubei put down the military book in his hand, his eyes were extremely cold, "Have you found out what happened in the second house?"

The guards below said respectfully, "General, the second young lady is indeed a little frightened and crazy, and according to the current investigation, our young lady was bewitched and disguised as the second young lady's personal maid to go to Master Zhan's manor together."

Hearing this, Nan Gubei stood up and asked, "Mo'er is there too?"

The guard nodded. "As for what happened on the farm, I can't find out in a short time, but our girl's mood was indeed different after she came back, and the second girl also became a little crazy afterwards."

Nan Gubei's eyes darkened, and a chilling coldness burst out from his eyes, "You don't have to check what happened in the manor."

Under the guard's puzzled look, Nan Gubei whispered, "Erase all traces of Mo'er's visit to the manor, and as for the second house... ignore it."

The guard took the order and left without any hesitation.

Nan Gubei stood at the study window for a long time without moving. He had no idea what had happened on Zhuangzi. When he was discussing other matters with the emperor and King You in the palace, King You's confidant hurried into the palace to report.

Gong Zhan was suddenly poisoned and fell unconscious at the farm while outing in spring, and the Duke's wife's nephew Liu Chen also died suddenly, his body rotten to the point of being almost shapeless.

King You blocked the news immediately. Gong Zhan has not woken up yet, so he doesn't know what happened. Now King You is personally investigating the matter secretly.

But there are so many people going to the village to enjoy the spring, and the news will leak out sooner or later within a day or two.

Nan Gubei's eyes became more and more solemn. The man who was secretly interrogated by the Imperial City Bureau yesterday was captured from Gong Zhan's farm. It is still unknown whether the accidents of Gong Zhan and Liu Chen are related to this man.

With a long sigh, he didn't want his daughter to be involved in these disputes, she just wanted to grow up happily.
