Dou Zhao looked at Song Mo, who was so angry that his hands were shaking just now, and immediately controlled his emotions. He felt mixed emotions in his heart and couldn't tell what it was.

Those who achieve great things have great perseverance. Only such people can not get lost in the face of prosperity and can persevere in loneliness.

Song Mo was only thirteen years old this year, at the age when he was full of energy and fearlessness, full of ambition and ambition, and looked down on the world. Not only did she make him return home in defeat and lose all his face, but she also mocked him harshly in a pretentious manner. A mature and stable middle-aged man would probably not be able to bear it, but he was able to put aside the honor and disgrace, assess the situation, and face everything he was facing in a new way in just a cup of tea.

Can I escape unscathed after becoming an enemy of such a terrible person?

This child is Song Mo's weak spot.

The reason why Song Mo wanted to kill them was to ensure that the whereabouts of the child would not be leaked.

If she revealed their identities, what would Song Mo have to worry about?

It's a fight to the death. Given the mentality of Duan Gongyi and others, what chances do they have of winning?

Moreover, in the previous life, although the Duke Ding's Mansion was confiscated and executed, and his title was taken away, the Duke Ying's Mansion remained as favorable to the Emperor as before.

Unless she could kill Song Mo quietly and destroy all the evidence, otherwise, she believed that the Duke of England would be willing to avenge Song Mo.

Does she have this ability?

The so-called asking Su Xin to report to the authorities was just a means to intimidate Song Mo, not a sharp weapon that could attack him.

She knew it, and she believed he knew it too.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have calmed down so quickly.

But precisely because of this, Song Mo made Dou Zhao feel more confident in convincing him - with his rationality, he should be able to judge that if they work together, both sides will benefit, but if they separate, both sides will lose.

Now that she had shown him her abilities and strength, and he had begun to take her seriously, it was time for them to sit down and have a good talk.

Dou Zhao's mind was spinning rapidly. Before Song Mo could speak, he said solemnly, "Mr. Mei, I want to talk to you alone!"

Song Mo was slightly surprised.

There were only eight people in the hall.

They trusted each other the most, and she still wanted to talk to him alone. What on earth did she want to say to herself?

As the thought flashed through her mind, Dou Zhao had already stood up, holding the child. She walked towards the study in the west room, and told Duan Gongyi, "Guardian Duan, please ask you and Sulan to guard the door. No one is allowed to approach the study."

What she was about to say and do next was so important that the fewer people knew about it, the better.

Moreover, this matter was very risky. Although she looked confident on the surface, she was actually very uneasy inside.

Both Chen Qushui and Yan Chaoqing had served as aides to provincial governors. Yan Chaoqing was especially famous because he was a confidant of Duke Dingguo and had accompanied Song Mo in escorting the child. It was not easy for him to gain the trust of both the Jiang and Song families.

No matter how good her idea was, it was just talk on paper; no matter how powerful Song Mo was, he still lacked some experience. If she could get the help of these two people, the chances of success would be greater.

Song Mo stood up without hesitation and told Zhao Ming: "You stay here and help Duan guard the door."

It would be very disadvantageous for him to confront Dou Zhao.

Before he left, his mother repeatedly warned him that there were many hidden talents in the world, and that he should not be careless and should consult with Mr. Yan on everything. However, he had planned everything carefully and gradually forgot his mother's words. This led to his carelessness and the loss of Jingzhou. Not only was he trapped in this small farm in Zhending County by this seemingly ordinary daughter of a rich family, but he also put his children and the brave men who followed him into danger.

More importantly, he had already asked Shi An to get help.

According to the original plan, they would take action together at 11 p.m.

If the other party failed to notice the abnormality of the farm and took action, Miss Dou Si would definitely drag the government into it to save her life. If the other party was lucky enough to notice the abnormality of the farm and waited and watched, if the rain stopped and the villagers came out to visit each other, it would be even more difficult to conceal their whereabouts.

Did he really order the massacre of the entire village?

What is the difference between them and those Japanese pirates?

Moreover, the fourth daughter of the Dou family clearly knew who he was, but she kept calling him Master Mei, clearly leaving some room for error and not wanting to fall out with them.

He might as well take this opportunity to have a good talk with the fourth young lady of the Dou family. Maybe he can find a way to resolve the problem.

Chen Qushui and Yan Chaoqing entered the study one after another.

The four of them sat down, each on one side, facing each other.

Sulan served tea, quietly left and closed the study door.

Dou Zhao went straight to the point and said, "I have always admired Duke Dingguo. My father and two uncles were all officials in Kyoto, but I have never heard of any news of Duke Dingguo's accident. How is Duke Dingguo doing now?" His tone was sincere and frank.

Song Mo once again looked at Dou Zhao with admiration.

The whereabouts of the child is not important. What is important is the future of the Duke Dingguo Mansion. If the Duke Dingguo Mansion can escape this disaster, the child will naturally be safe. If a disaster befalls the Duke Dingguo Mansion, as the only bloodline of the Duke Dingguo Mansion, the whereabouts of the child will naturally be related to the child's life and death.

This Miss Dou Si is indeed not a simple person. She grasped the key point of the matter as soon as she opened her mouth.

But is she trustworthy?

Song Mo couldn't help but look into Dou Zhao's eyes.

Only then did he realize that Dou Zhao had beautiful eyes.

The black and white are distinct, clear and bright, like the brightest star in the night sky. No matter how thick the clouds and haze are, they cannot block its brilliance, and people who look at it instantly gain courage.

He lowered his sleepy eyelids, picked up the teacup and blew on the tea leaves floating on the water.

Yan Chaoqing glanced at Song Mo and saw that he had no objection. He said, "There are historians who accuse Duke Dingguo of killing innocent people and taking credit for his crimes. We got the news and the emperor was furious. He asked the Jinyiwei to escort Duke Dingguo back to the Dali Temple in Kyoto for interrogation. But we couldn't find the mastermind behind it. Our wife felt that something was wrong. It happened that Master Jiang Wu secretly took in a new child from Madam Jiang. The concubine was pregnant and about to give birth, so the lady decided to hide her. Three days ago, an imperial decree came down from the palace, and Duke Dingguo, Lieutenant General Jiang, and Vice Magistrate Jiang were all questioned, and Elder Jiang Wu was interrogated by the Jinyi Guard. The lady went to the palace, but could not find out anything. Fearing that things would get worse, she ordered me to accompany the prince to hand the child over to a good friend of Elder Jiang Wu for adoption.

Song Mo's third uncle was a lieutenant general, and his fourth uncle was a deputy governor.

No wonder they didn't hear anything.

Dou Zhao said: "In other words, the imperial edict has just been issued, and the Duke of Ying is still in Fujian. Is this just a precaution?"

It makes them sound like they are worrying about nothing.

Yan Chaoqing pondered and said, "The more polite the emperor is to you, the angrier he is in his heart; the more casual he is to you, the less he cares." He was afraid that Dou Zhao would not understand, so he explained tactfully, "Our wife has always had a good relationship with the Empress and the Queen Mother. This time, our wife went to the palace to plead with the Empress, but the Empress knew nothing about it and even went to ask the emperor. The emperor said that Duke Dingguo has been in Fujian for a long time and is in a high position, so it is inevitable that some people will be jealous. The sea breeze in Fujian is eroding, so calling Duke Dingguo back this time will give him the opportunity to rest and recuperate for a few years..."

Among all the nobles' homes, the Duke of England's Palace is a little special.

His ancestor Song Wu and Emperor Taizu were sworn brothers, and later he followed Emperor Taizu to raise an army and died on the battlefield. Song Wu's posthumous son Song Gong was adopted by Emperor Taizu and was given the imperial surname. After the founding of the country, Emperor Taizu rewarded Song Gong according to his merits and conferred him the title of Duke of Ying. Thinking that Song Wu had only this one son, he specially issued an order to restore his original surname.

Therefore, the relationship between the British Duke's Palace and the royal family is particularly close.

When Emperor Taizong wanted to depose the crown prince, it was Duke Ying who persuaded Emperor Taizong to save the crown prince.

When Emperor Renzong wanted to depose the Empress and replace her with his favorite concubine, Wang, it was the Queen Mother who was persuaded by the Duke of Ying.

Emperor Wuzong's warlike wars exhausted the national treasury and his own private treasury, which was also a curse brought upon him by the Duke of Ying. He sat on the post of the Salt Transport Commissioner of Huai'an for ten years, which allowed Emperor Wuzong to finally start building his own mausoleum.

It can be said that before the Liao King ascended the throne, all the successive Dukes of England were the emperor's confidants and favorites, and were even more trusted by the emperor than the royal relatives. If the Duchess of England could not find out anything after entering the palace, then you can imagine how serious this matter is. The previous life also proved that the Duchess of England's worries were very reasonable.

But Dou Zhao thought of what Song Mo said in his previous life that the Jiang family had no descendants, so he couldn't help but ask, "Can the Tan family be trusted?"

Everyone looked at Dou Zhao in shock, and Song Mo's expression no longer had the ease it had just shown.

"How did you know?" Yan Chaoqing couldn't help but ask, his voice tense.

Dou Zhao smiled awkwardly.

Although I had already decided not to get too involved, I still said what I wanted to say.

She was really worried about the baby in her arms!

In his previous life, Song Mo said to King Liao that "the Jiang family has no more descendants."

"After all, I am a native of Zhending," Dou Zhao had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Thinking carefully, the only one who has the ability to adopt this child is the Tan Family Manor. At this time, the Duke of Ding is only being questioned, so I can't help but feel a little worried, so I asked one more question."

"Miss Fourth Dou is not only extremely intelligent, but also far-sighted." Yan Chaoqing sighed sincerely, "The person to be entrusted with the care of the orphan was personally designated by Elder Jiang Wu..." The implication was that he didn't know this person very well and was a little worried.

"If even the Tan family can't be trusted, then no one can be trusted!" Song Mo, who had been silent all this time, interrupted Yan Chaoqing in a light and concise tone.

Yan Chaoliao lowered his head slightly.

Dou Zhao didn't know what to say. She thought that Yan Chaoqing had been talking about Duke Yingguo's wife Jiang, but hadn't mentioned Duke Yingguo at all. She changed the subject to Duke Dingguo again: "What does Duke Ying say about Duke Dingguo's affairs?"

Yan Chaoqing said implicitly: "The situation is unclear now. Even if the Duke of England wants to come forward to help, he must have something to say."

He let his wife test the royal family's attitude and then he would act accordingly.

If Dou Zhao did not know what happened in his previous life, he would have thought that the Duke of England Song Yichun's actions were normal and correct. However, from what happened later, it was clear that the Duke of England was missing something.

Doubts between the two worlds surged in her heart, but Dou Zhao could not reveal a word.

Those things did not happen in this life, and compared with the previous life, this life has changed dramatically. For example, at this time in the previous life, although Song Mo was in Zhending, she was in Kyoto, and they had no intersection. But in this life, she took the initiative and saved her grandmother's life, so she stayed in Zhending, met Song Mo, and was besieged in the farm by Song Mo because she invited Chen Sishui as her staff... What will happen next, who dares to guarantee!

She put on her makeup and said solemnly, "I think entrusting the orphan to me is only part of your mother's plan. The key is how to get Duke Dingguo out of danger. I wonder what your mother's plan is for this?"

Yan Chaoqing glanced at Song Mo, and seeing that Song Mo pursed his lips and did not intend to speak, he said, "I wonder what Miss Fourth Dou thinks?" He looked at her with a hint of smile, and it was obvious that he felt that she was overestimating herself by saying this.
