Chapter 366 Confidence

It's not easy to find a personal maid that suits your taste!

Suxin and Sulan have served me for four or five years, and I can't delay them any longer.

Dou Zhao smiled and said, "Isn't it the Chinese New Year? As for the maid's matter, it won't be too late to talk about it after the second day of the second lunar month when the dragon rises its head and the weather gets warmer. How can I let Sulan postpone the wedding date for this?"

Years ago, Dou Zhao had discussed with Song Mo that they would hold Su Lan and Chen He's wedding on the fourth day of the second lunar month.

Su Xin knew that Dou Zhao had not found a maid who knew how to fight. She became even more anxious when she thought about the fact that Dou Zhao was fighting with Song Yichun. Song Yichun would use all means to kidnap them just to find out how many industries Dou Zhao had.

Although she and her sister were not as skilled as Duan Gongyi and other men, if someone attacked, they could catch them by surprise and resist those with bad intentions for a while, giving Madam a chance to escape. If she and her sister left, what would happen to Madam's safety? Duan Gongyi and others were men after all, and they couldn't follow Madam for twelve hours a day, right?

Su Xin hesitated for a long time and said, "How about I come back to accompany you? Anyway, Zhao Liangbi has to inspect the shops these days and is not at home..."

"Don't bother." Dou Zhao said with a smile, "I won't leave the Duke of Ying's mansion, nothing will happen."

Su Xin said solemnly: "It's better to be safe than sorry. If you don't agree, I will tell the prince..."

Before she finished her words, Song Mo's voice suddenly came from the room: "What do you want to tell me?"

The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw Song Mo walking in with a smile.

"My Lord!" Su Xin hurried forward and knelt down to pay her respects, and told him what had happened. "My Lord, please allow me to serve in Madam's room as before."

"What should I do?" Dou Zhao said before Song Mo could finish his words. "If you are bored, you can come in and keep me company, that's fine. But you are working in my house, after all, you are the housekeeper, how can you still serve others?"

"She came out of your room, so it's her duty to serve you." Song Mo thought for a moment, then smiled and said to Dou Zhao, "Don't argue about this matter, just let Su Xin come in and serve you. The monthly allowance will be doubled as before, and I will pay for it." Seeing that Dou Zhao was about to say something, he added, "If Zhao Liangbi comes back, Su Xin will go home. If she is pregnant, she can stay at home to take care of the baby, and she doesn't need to come again."

Su Xin was the bride after all, and Song Mo's last sentence made her blush. She lowered her head and replied softly, "Yes."

Dou Zhao was not the kind of person who was fussy about things. He thought that he should be more careful when the time comes and not let Su Xin end up like he did in his previous life, where she was pregnant without even knowing it and ended up making a big mistake.

"Then come into the mansion and keep me company!" She nodded with a smile, and instructed Ganlu and others to prepare a place for Suxin to live.

Su Xin knew that as long as Song Mo returned to the main house, he would be together with Dou Zhaofu. She always felt that Song Mo was a little cowardly in the past, but now that she was married, she realized the sweetness of it. She bent her knees, smiled and pulled Ganlu out.

Song Mo smiled and said, "It's better to use these daughters-in-law."

"You're such a jerk!" Dou Zhao glanced at him, his eyes as charming as spring water.

Song Mo smiled, leaned over and kissed Dou Zhao on the cheek, then went to change his clothes.

Dou Zhao handed the tea brought by the maid to Song Mo and asked seriously, "Is it that things are not going well for the Kuang family?"

Song Mo was stunned and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"I saw that you left the government office so early, and talked with Mr. Yan in the study for a long time, and then you came back to tease me," Dou Zhao said, "I think about it, and apart from the affairs of the Kuang family, there is nothing else for you to worry about these days..."

Song Mo laughed and said, "You are really the worm in my stomach!"

Dou Zhao's expression was tense, and he asked, "What happened?"

Song Mo always thought that Dou Ming was very smart. Instead of hiding the truth from her and letting her guess, it would be better to tell her the truth. With her intelligence, she could at least think of a way to protect herself in a critical moment. So he said frankly: "I asked Mr. Yan to find Wang Ge, and Wang Ge refused to let the Kuang family stay out of it!"

Dou Zhao was very surprised.

She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "Where did he get the courage to reject you? Even if it was Wang Yuan, he wouldn't offend you for the sake of 20,000 or 30,000 taels of silver in income every year. Does he think he has more face than Wang Yuan?"

Dou Zhao said this, sensing something odd about it.

Why did Wang Ge reject Song Mo?

In his previous life, he was the one who was liquidated.

Could it be that in his previous life, he was not treated as an irrelevant person and was liquidated, but was killed to silence him because he did too much and knew too much?

She was shocked and asked Song Mo, "Have you found out how Jiang Jie told Wang Ge about the Kuang family's affairs?"

"It's found out." Song Mo also thought this was a bit ridiculous, and said with a smile, "Jiang Jie was dissatisfied with the arrogance of the Kuang family and wanted to teach them a lesson. Unfortunately, the Kuang family is a well-known family with a history of a hundred years in Panyu and other places. They are deeply rooted and cannot be disturbed by idleness. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jiang Jie's master was ordered to give Dai Jian a gift, and happened to meet Wang Ge from Dai Ge's hometown. After coming out and returning, the master talked about Dai Jian and told Jiang Jie that Wang Ge had personally come to give Dai Jian a holiday gift. Jiang Jie was inspired to do so. During the winter solstice when sending New Year gifts, his master went to visit Wang Ge in the name of Dai Jian. He complained to Wang Ge for a long time and begged Wang Ge to teach the Kuang family a lesson for Jiang Jie for Dai Jian's sake..."

Dou Zhao pondered and said, "That's not right! Jiang Jie is just a seventh-rank county magistrate. Even if he is Jiang Jie's in-law, Wang Ge would not offend you for him and two or three thousand taels of silver..." She said with a dignified expression, "Yan Tang, you should keep this matter in mind and investigate it thoroughly! I am not doing this to help the Kuang family, but I think this matter is too unreasonable. Wang Ge usually seems to be very respectful to you, but he suddenly turned hostile. I am afraid that the problem lies with you. Do you want to meet Wang Yuan? The emperor's matter cannot be sloppy. As for the Kuang family, I will come forward to talk to Kuang Zhuoran. Since Wang Ge has made up his mind to help Jiang Jie, don't hold on to the heart of luck and look for this and that to make a deal. Make up your mind as soon as possible. What should you do."

Song Mo and Dou Zhao thought of the same thing.

He smiled and said, "It's not as serious as you say. If the emperor had any grievances towards me, he would not have allowed you to stay at home to take care of the baby during the New Year, and he would not have given you gifts. No matter what's going on with Wang Ge, you have to go and see Wang Yuan. As for the Kuang family, since the problem lies with Mr. Dai, let Mr. Dai help Jiang Jie clean up the mess. I don't believe that he would like someone to use his flag behind his back to bully others!" At the end of his words, he pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled coldly.

As soon as Dou Zhao saw Song Mo's expression, he knew that Dai Jian was going to have a headache.

However, whether Dai Jian had a headache or not had nothing to do with her. She was now certain that this matter was related to King Liao.

Only by relying on the support of King Liao can he have such confidence.

He was reborn, so he knew that the Prince of Liao would eventually ascend the throne, so he was jealous of him. But now the prince had not made any mistakes, and the emperor had no intention of changing the crown prince. In his memory of his previous life, the prince had not made any mistakes until he was shot to death, and the emperor had no intention of re-appointing the prince. The prince's ascension to the throne was a consensus of the world. Wang Ge was a eunuch. Even if the Prince of Liao continued to develop like this and became the King of Liaodong, it would not be good for him. If he committed a crime, no one would stand up for him. Why did he dare to bet everything on the Prince of Liao?

She thought of Prince Liao’s biological mother, Queen Wan.

Could it be that he is relying on the Empress?

That's not right!

There are a lot of eunuchs like Wang Ge in the inner palace. If he was not Wang Yuan's godson, even Song Mo would not even look at him straight in the eye, let alone the Empress?

Where does his confidence come from?

Dou Zhao took a sip of tea irritably, and suddenly something happened to him.

"Yan Tang, I remembered something." She said to Song Mo hurriedly, "I seem to have heard someone say that Wang Ge and Cui Junyi are enemies. Do you think this matter is related to the dispute between the eunuchs?"

Song Mo's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Why didn't I think of investigating from this aspect!" As he spoke, he leaned towards Dou Zhao and said, "Tell me, what do you think?"

"Ideas!" Dou Zhao awkwardly turned the ruby ​​ring on his hand, looked at Song Mo apologetically, and said, "My mind is in a mess right now, and I don't have any ideas. I just thought about it, and I don't know if it's right."

In her previous life, she was just an inconspicuous wife of a low-ranking marquis. Every time she entered the palace, she followed behind those noble ladies from prominent families. Once, she lagged behind by a few steps and inadvertently heard two eunuchs complaining in a low voice. She didn't hear what they said specifically, but only heard something like "If Cui Junyi dies, Wang Ge will be the one to support him. If I die, he will be the one to support me." She didn't know Wang Ge at that time, but she remembered Cui Junyi. Because they were all old stories in the inner palace, she forgot them after hearing them. Now she suddenly remembered them and told them to Song Mo. But after she said it, she realized how ridiculous her words were.

Not to mention that Cui Junyi is the prince's man, Wang Ge's attempt to seize the Kuang family's property can only be related to Prince Liao. How did it get involved in disputes over eunuchs?

Dou Zhao felt a little uncomfortable.

Song Mo is such a sensitive person, how could he not see Dou Zhao's embarrassment?

He hugged Dou Zhao and said with a smile, "It's okay! Doesn't the story say that there is no coincidence in the world? Sometimes when we encounter something that we can't figure out, we have to use our imagination like this, maybe we can find a way out. I'll have someone check the matter you mentioned, maybe we can find something!"

Dou Zhao smiled bitterly.

The Kuang family's affairs seem to be getting more and more complicated, and there are so few clues available...

She was thinking so much that her head was about to explode.

Forget it, let Song Mo figure it out!

She put the matter behind her and drank the bird's nest porridge comfortably.

Song Mo went to take care of this matter.

Dou Zhao finished a bowl of porridge, looked up and saw the large pillow with a dent on it that Song Mo had leaned on. She was stunned for a moment.

Ever since she married Song Mo, she got used to leaving everything to Song Mo and rarely worked as hard as before.

But Song Mo knew nothing about the future!

But she is someone who is familiar with the direction of history.

How could she allow Song Mo to act like a blind man groping in the dark while she herself reaps the benefits?

Does it mean that once a woman becomes dependent on someone, she will no longer bother to use her brain?

Dou Zhao couldn't help but shudder.

No, she couldn't do this anymore.

She had to help Song Mo find out the truth of that year, she had to prevent Song Mo from the tragedy of his previous life. She should fight with Song Mo, how could she just stay under his wings like this?

He is the best person to her in two lifetimes!

Dou Zhao couldn't help but take a deep breath, straightened his chest, and shouted to Ganlu loudly: "Help me get the four treasures of the study!"

Ganlu went away immediately and quickly brought back pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
