Chapter 453: Take One Step at a Time
The chapter was sent incorrectly. If you can't find Chapter 452, please jump forward two chapters to find it. The author is careless, so please forgive me.
At that time, he thought that he would be blamed by Fei Nanyu, but he didn't know that Fei Nanyu was not very interested in the situation of the Mohist School.
He just took a fancy to Mo Jiuye's abilities and hoped to use them for his own benefit one day, so he wanted to keep abreast of the Mo family's developments.
Therefore, even if Meng Huaining told Fei Nanyu about the situation of the Mo family, Fei Nanyu would not do anything to embarrass the Mo family. On the contrary, he might even offer help.
Just like the letter that Xiaobai brought back, if Fei Nanyu didn't value Mo Jiuye, he wouldn't be the one to deliver the message.
Even for the sake of his beloved little wife, Meng Huaining decided to support the Mohist school.
But he also knew in his heart that if he supported the Mohist school, they might rebel one day. Of course, this was also Meng Huaining's worst-case scenario.
If the Mo family can come up with other ways to resolve these crises, all of this will be resolved naturally.
Meng Huaining looked very serious: "Ninth Brother, no matter what happens to the Mo family, please believe me, I will definitely stand on your side.
Also, I will pay more attention when I am working in Yuncheng in the future. If there is any sign of trouble, I will have Bage report it to me immediately."
As for other things, the Mo family did not let him participate, so he could only do what he could at the moment.
Mo Jiuye patted his shoulder and said, "The Mo family has no intention of disobeying the emperor. Even when our family was unjustly exiled to the northwest, we never had any other thoughts.
Our family has finally been reunited after going through so much hardship, and we just want to live a peaceful and stable life from now on.
But some people just don't want my Mo family to have an easy life. For the sake of my family, some things may be unavoidable."
"Ninth Brother, I understand what you said. Nothing is set in stone. We can just take it one step at a time."
"Yes, we all think so. No matter how those powerful people in the court fight, as long as it does not involve the Mohist School, I will choose to turn a blind eye."
As the two were talking, Nanrui walked quickly towards them from the direction of the village.
"Ninth Young Master, I've been looking for you for a long time. Turns out you're here."
When Meng Huaining saw that it was Nan Rui coming, he greeted him and left, leaving the space to the two of them.
"Ari, do you have something to talk to me about?" Mo Jiuye naturally relaxed his brows and looked calm, as if nothing had happened in the past few days.
Nanrui walked up to him, took out a note from his pocket and handed it to him.
"This is the latest news from the capital that my people brought me."
Mo Jiuye took the note and opened it. Although the content was not as detailed as what Fei Nanyu wrote, it was roughly the same.
They were all talking about the Queen adopting the Fourth Prince.
Mo Jiuye returned the note to Nanrui, pretending not to understand it.
"The Queen adopted the Fourth Prince. This is all your royal family's business. Why did you tell me this news?"
I don't know if Nanrui saw that Mo Jiuye was playing dumb, he said:
"Before Nan Heng disappeared, I discovered that the Queen's clan had been targeting the Mo family. After Nan Heng disappeared, the Queen no longer had the capital to fight, so she became much quieter.
I thought she would withdraw from the fight, but I didn't expect her to adopt a fourth prince.
This means that she and her mother's family have not given up on that position. All the civil and military officials in the court know that you have a good relationship with Nan Qi. Now that Nan Qi is in need of people, she will certainly spare no effort to eliminate anyone who can help Nan Qi.
I tell you this news in the hope that you can take precautions sooner after understanding it."
No matter what Nan Rui's intention was in telling him this, Mo Jiuye was grateful for it.
This matter is of no trivial importance. If Fei Nanyu had not asked Xiaobai to bring the letter to him, he would probably have really gotten the news from Nanrui.
"Thank you for telling me, Ari. I will be more careful."
Seeing that he still looked indifferent, Nanrui thought that he didn't take the matter to heart.
However, he will still do what he should do.
"I came to you this time to inform you of this news. On the other hand, I plan to return to the capital tomorrow."
"Go back to the capital?" Mo Jiuye was a little surprised.
Ever since Nanrui brought Concubine De to the northwest, no matter how he tried to test her, she had no intention of returning to the capital. Her behavior today was really puzzling.
Nanrui gave a sincere smile.
“My mother also knows about what happened in the capital.
She said that her life was saved by the Mo family, and now that the Mo family is in crisis, she asked me to help resolve it as much as possible."
After a pause, Nanrui continued.
"You also know that there is no longer any Consort De in the Imperial Palace. I took my mother away with me because I didn't intend to set foot in that place of intrigue again.
Therefore, I cannot bring my mother with me when I return to Beijing this time. I can only ask you and your family to take good care of her, so that I can have no worries when I work in Beijing."
After these words were spoken, Mo Jiuye could be completely certain that Nanrui really had no bad intentions towards the Mo family.
Not only that, he really wanted to help the Mohist School.
You have to know that Defei is the most important person in Nanrui's life. If not, he would not risk the crime of deceiving the emperor and let Defei fake her death, and abandon his wealth and glory to bring him to this barren place to live in hiding.
On the surface, Nanrui said that Concubine De asked the Mo family to help take care of her, but in fact, Nanrui handed over his own weaknesses to the Mo family.
This is also Nanrui indirectly expressing an attitude. I went to the capital to repay you for saving my mother's life, and I will never do anything to let down the Mo family.
Seeing Nanrui like this, it would be a lie for Mo Jiuye to say he wasn't grateful.
However, now that Nanrui and his mother have finally lived the life they wanted, he cannot selfishly let him continue to wade into muddy waters in the capital.
"I appreciate Ari's kindness. Aunt Mei is old and not in good health. You guys finally left that place. Don't risk it again for us."
Nanrui insisted.
"My mother and I have never known how to repay you for saving our lives. Now that we finally have the chance, I can't just sit there and wait for death."
Seeing Nan Rui's serious expression, Mo Jiuye knew that he must have made up his mind, so he stopped trying to persuade him.
What's more, if there really is such a person in the capital to help, it would be a great thing for the Mohist School.
"The situation in the capital is about to change. If you get involved, it will only accelerate the struggle between the Queen's party and Nan Qi.
You might get dragged into this, have you figured out how to deal with it?"
Mo Jiuye's question was rather subtle, but Nanrui still understood it.
If he reappears in the capital at this time, everyone will think that he is after that position.
