Chapter 354 Meeting Father-in-law

Someone saw them coming and recognized them as Lord Minister He at a glance.

He quickly went up to her and said, "Sir, do you want to change your clothes?"

He Yuanming said unhappily, "Humph, your servants are too unruly. They wet my clothes."

The man looked like the housekeeper of the mansion. He quickly stepped forward flatteringly and pointed to a house in front and said:

"I'm so sorry, sir. Please wait there for a moment. I'll find you some clothes."

After he finished speaking, he glared at Mo Jiuye fiercely, as if to remind him that he would be in trouble after the guests left.

Mo Jiuye pretended to be frightened and shrank his neck, then quickly lowered his head.

This action not only did not attract the butler's attention, but also made it seem that he was very frightened by the incident.

He Yuanming and Mo Jiuye came to the room pointed out by the butler one after another.

Mo Jiuye quickly closed the door, then knelt solemnly in front of He Yuanming and kowtowed three times.

"Meet my father-in-law."

He Yuanming quickly helped the man up.

But facing this somewhat unfamiliar face, he was still skeptical.

Without waiting for him to ask, Mo Jiuye took out the handkerchief that He Yuanming used to wipe his clothes, quickly wiped his face a few times, and basically restored his original appearance.

Although his son-in-law was away fighting for many years, He Yuanming had met him several times.

Now, looking at the eyes and eyebrows of the person in front of me, who else could it be but my own son-in-law?

"Son-in-law, it's really you. Is Ranran okay?"

When talking about his daughter, He Yuanming couldn't help but burst into tears.

Mo Jiuye didn't know why, but seeing his father-in-law caring so much about his wife, his favorability towards him increased again.

He helped He Yuanming sit on the chair.

"Father-in-law, Ranran has suffered a lot following me, but now she has settled down in the northwest, and her life is getting better day by day. She is now pregnant and will give birth in a few months."

As for the fact that He Zhiran was pregnant with twins, Mo Jiuye planned to keep it secret for the time being.

After all, everyone believes that the probability of difficult birth for twins is high, so as not to cause unnecessary worry to my father-in-law's family.

When he heard that his daughter was pregnant, He Yuanming's tears flowed uncontrollably again.

"Ranran has been spoiled by me and her mother since she was a child. She is not afraid of hardship, as long as the person is good."

The main purpose of Mo Jiuye's meeting with his father-in-law was to remind him to pay attention to the actions of the Ninth Prince. He knew that the butler would deliver the clothes soon, and what he wanted to say must not be delayed.

"Father-in-law, I just discovered that the Ninth Prince was colluding with a Gu Master in Southern Xinjiang, and that Gu Master gave him a lot of Gu worms.

Today, the Ninth Prince will use the birthday banquet as an opportunity to infect important officials in the court with poisonous insects, so that he can control the overall situation."

After hearing what Mo Jiuye said, He Yuanming instantly stopped crying and asked back in disbelief.

"What? You said the Ninth Prince is colluding with the Gu Masters in Southern Xinjiang?"

Mo Jiuye nodded solemnly.

“Well, I saw it with my own eyes, it’s absolutely true.

I took the risk to come here just to remind my father-in-law not to fall into the trap of the Ninth Prince.

Also, regarding my eldest brother-in-law's marriage, please be at ease. Princess Yu is already dead. Even if the Ninth Prince's Mansion hadn't been exposed because of what happened today, she wouldn't have been able to marry into the He family."

After hearing so much news, He Yuanming couldn't help but be shocked.

Unexpectedly, his son-in-law's visit to the capital actually helped him resolve two crises.

However, he still had some doubts in his mind.

"Son-in-law, the Ninth Prince has evil intentions, and the Southern Border Gu Master is the best evidence to present in court. I wonder where he is now?

Also, is Princess Yu's death related to you?"

Thinking about the death of the Ninth Prince's beloved daughter, if it were discovered, it would cause an uproar. If it was really done by his son-in-law, he must find a way to help him escape.

"Father-in-law, I was indeed the one who killed Princess Yu. A fickle woman like that is not worthy of my brother-in-law.

Also, the purpose of my trip to the capital was to capture that Southern Border Gu Master. Now that I've successfully captured him, he has been escorted out of the capital by my brothers."

Mo Jiuye had some understanding of He Yuanming's character, otherwise he would not have agreed to marry He Zhiran.

When a Mohist man married, he did not have high requirements for the family background of the woman, but mainly valued the character of the woman's family.

He Yuanming had served in the court for many years. Like his Mohist school, he always remained neutral and did not join anyone's camp. Moreover, his father-in-law was an honest official and it can be said that he made a significant contribution to Dashun.

The fact that he has not been implicated by his Mohist family and is still in a position of important official is enough to explain it all.

Besides, he also believed that his father-in-law truly loved Ranran, and even for Ranran, he would not tell others things that should not be said.

Sure enough, He Yuanming was particularly shocked when he heard Mo Jiuye mention his brothers.

"Son-in-law, how many brothers did you just say you have?" Could it be that the men of the Mohist school are not dead?

Mo Jiuye cut to the chase.

“On the way to the northwest, I was fortunate to find that my brothers were still alive. With Ranran’s help, we have now found six of them, as well as our other fathers and brothers. We have also found news about them.

This man from Southern Xinjiang who poisoned the Ninth Prince is the culprit behind the persecution of the Mohist men. He is now the biggest clue to finding my father and brother. Therefore, I cannot leave this person to my father-in-law as a witness against the Ninth Prince.

He Yuanming absorbed Mo Jiuye's words carefully. He was truly happy for the Mo family.

As for his son-in-law's words that Ranran helped him, he just thought that his son-in-law was polite and didn't think much about it.

As a father, he knows his daughter's worth better than anyone else.

He Zhiran was never like other ladies from wealthy families who spent their time doing needlework all day long. Instead, she liked to read those useless medical books.

Is it that easy to study medical books?

You can learn everything without a teacher just by reading some books.

There was nothing he could do. He and his wife both doted on their daughter, so they just let her do as she pleased, regardless of whether she could understand it or not.

If my daughter hadn't made a fuss when she got married to Mo Jiuye and left the box of medical books at home, the medical books would have been included in the dowry.

Thinking of this, He Yuanming missed his daughter even more.

However, he knew in his heart that this was not the time for him to be sentimental.

"In that case, I will find other ways to find evidence of the Ninth Prince's treason. I must not allow such a person to cause chaos beyond our control."

Mo Jiuye knew that with his father-in-law's character, he would definitely try his best to fight against the Ninth Prince.

In order to make him understand clearly, he whispered:

"There is one more thing I hope my father-in-law knows so that he can understand it."

"What's the matter?" He Yuanming felt mixed emotions at the moment. His son-in-law's appearance actually brought him so many shocking news.

Little did he know that what Mo Jiuye was going to tell him next was even more shocking than what he had told him before.

After all, the two of them had been in the room for some time, and Mo Jiuye did not dare to speak rashly.

He first walked to the door and looked outside. After seeing that there was no suspicious person walking around, he turned back.
