Gu Ming didn't react much after hearing this. The governor-general beside him asked, "Governor, what are you talking about?"

Gu Ming said calmly, "Mu Nanjin wanted the Tang family to know that she was named the Duke of Zhenguo, so I will pass the news to He County on her behalf."

Mu Nanjin saw what Tang Jingrui revealed that day. Not only Tang Jingrui heard it, but everyone in the Governor's Academy heard it.

The governor-general couldn't help laughing: "They must be regretting it to death."

"Let them regret it slowly."

The governor's men have already told Magistrate Kong to visit the Tang family from time to time to mention the matter of the Duke of Zhenguo.

He was also asked to pretend that he had something to do and go to the Tang family to ask the Duke of Zhenguo for help. It would be awkward for the Tang family to ask for help, but he couldn't ask Mu Nanjin either.

The governor's deputy governor knew that the governor would not let the Tang family have an easy time, so he said with a smile: "It's unlucky for those who are targeted by you."

Gu Ming raised his eyelids and glanced at him: "Who's unlucky?"

The governor-general quickly said, "Except for Mu Nanjin."

Gu Ming glanced at the sky outside, stood up and said, "Let's get ready to go to the Duke's Mansion."

Today is the celebration banquet for the Duke of Zhenguo, and as colleagues they cannot be late.

Gu Ming went back to his room to change out of his official uniform, and went to the Duke's Mansion with the Jinyiwei who had received Mu Nanjin's invitation.

At this time, many guests had come to the mansion. They were all wearing luxurious robes, expensive jade pendants, and thumb rings. Each one was more noble than the other.

When they arrived at the Duke's Mansion, they did not sit around chatting, but helped entertain the guests.

The fourth and fifth rank officials who arrived later were stunned when they saw that the people who greeted them were all princes and nobles.

I even thought I had walked into the wrong mansion, so I quickly looked up at the plaque to make sure I was not in the wrong place.

"Master Zhu, you are here. Please come in."

Liang Yunbin walked up to the lecturer of the Hanlin Academy.

The lecturer of the Hanlin Academy was flattered: "Prince Liang, what are you doing..."

Liang Yunbin smiled and said, "The housekeeper of the Duke of Zhenguo is not familiar with you gentlemen, so we will help entertain you."

Xu Bo stepped forward and saluted: "Greetings, Master Zhu."

He secretly glanced at the lecturer of the Hanlin Academy several times, trying hard to remember the other person's appearance and identity in his mind.

Liang Yunbin said: "He is Xu Bo, the steward of the Duke of Zhenguo."

The lecturer of the Hanlin Academy nodded to Xu Bo and said, "Butler Xu."

Xu Bo quickly made a gesture to invite him in: "Master Zhu, please come in."

Liang Yunbin said to Xu Bo: "I will take Master Zhu in."

Xu Bo said: "Thank you, my lord."

Liang Yunbin led the lecturers of the Hanlin Academy into the mansion.

Xu Bo looked at their backs and couldn't help but sigh.

If it had happened a few years ago, he could never have imagined that he would have come into contact with so many high-ranking officials and royal families, and talk so much to them.

"Uncle Xu, we are here."

Xu Bo came to his senses and saw Princess Xueyu getting off the carriage with the princess and the county lady.

He hurried forward to greet her: "This old servant greets Princess Xueyu."

Princess Xueyu asked, "Where is Mu Nanjin?"

"She's in the hall."

Princess Xueyu led the other princesses and the county ladies into the mansion and met Liang Yunbin who had returned: "Xueyu, you are here, I will take you in."

"I know this place better than you do. I can find Mu Nanjin myself. You can go and get the others."

Princess Xueyu walked towards the hall and heard Mu Nanjin's voice before she entered.

[Wow, Master Zhu actually gave me a jade plaque. Although the jade is not big, it is worth a lot of money. ]

[For the upright and honest Lord Zhu, this cost him a lot of money. ]

[Compared to the gift from Prince Xuan, it is much more precious. ]

[It’s not that the gift from Prince Xuan is worthless, it’s just that he was too casual. ]

[Thinking that he is not familiar with me, he asked the servant to pick the cheapest item in the storeroom as a gift. That is too thoughtless. ]

[Tsk tsk, I am the Duke of Zhenguo, but the other party didn't even know to curry favor with me. If there is any problem in the future, I might be able to help. ]

[Well, since this person doesn't want to have too much contact with me, I will avoid seeing him in the future.]

When Prince Guang heard Mu Nanjin's thoughts, he glared at Prince Xuan who was lowering his head with a look of disappointment: "You, I don't know what to say to you, you are so stupid."

Prince Xuan was not convinced, he raised his head and asked: "Why am I stupid?"

"You know she knows a lot of things, but you still pick a gift so casually to give her a chance to find fault with you. Tell me, are you stupid? Look at Lord Zhu. He guessed that Mu Nanjin would reveal everyone's gifts in his heart, so he prepared them carefully to make a good impression on Mu Nanjin."

Prince Xuan looked at the smiling Lord Zhu and said, "I will not have any contact with her in the future, so why bother giving her such an expensive gift?"

"It doesn't have to be expensive, but it must be thoughtful." Prince Guang didn't want to say anything to him anymore. He threw his sleeves and said angrily, "When you cry and beg her in the future, don't blame others for not helping you."

Behead the Prince: "..."

[The princes and nobles of the Imperial Clan are still the best. I gave them a good scolding, but they didn't complain to me when I won all their money. They even carefully selected gifts for me. Not bad, not bad. They are all a group of good kids.]

The officials of the Imperial Clan Palace couldn't help laughing.

They treated her sincerely because Mu Nanjin also treated them sincerely.

Although she won their money that day, she invited them to a big restaurant for dinner. On the way, she also asked someone to send them a first-class martial wine and a first-class fairy wine, and asked everyone to drink a cup of stewed soup. After the meal, she gave everyone ten boxes of holy cream that could be used by both men and women and three jars of first-class wine.

When they brought the facial cream and wine back home, their elders were delighted and praised them highly.

Later they counted the money carefully and found that the things she gave away were much more valuable than what she won.

Therefore, they could not hold grudges against her for what happened before and even felt that she was someone they could make friends with.

Of course, their change of opinion of her was not entirely due to her inviting them to dinner and giving them gifts, but also because of her voice.

Don't look at her cold and icy appearance, her inner voice is very interesting and funny, making people happy to listen. Although there are embarrassing moments, they ignore them. The most important thing is that she can truly reveal that she has no purpose in making friends with them. They feel comfortable making friends with people who have no secrets, and they don't have to guess and feel tired.

"Mu Nanjin, I'm here."

Princess Xueyu walked into the hall and handed the gift in her hand to Mu Nanjin: "Here is the gift for you. I picked it out after careful selection. It's thoughtful, isn't it?"

Mu Nanjin hummed.

[Ever since I knew I became the Duke of Zhenguo, I started choosing a gift. It wasn’t until yesterday that I finally picked out a satisfactory gift. Of course, I put a lot of thought into it.]

[The princess is so nice to me, hehe. ]

When Princess Xueyu heard her giggling, she couldn't help but laugh.

At this time, someone outside shouted: "The governor is here - the imperial master is here -"

I'll update more for 350 monthly tickets. I love you all.

[Dear ones, don't forget to give me your monthly tickets. 】
