Chapter 507 Is Father in the Study?
There is no doubt about this. After all, they are biological father and daughter. They have not seen each other for more than a year. It is understandable that He Zhiran took the opportunity of Mo Jiuye going to Beijing for business to come and see his father.
But there are some things that Fei Nanyu has to remind people.
"Minister He is not in a good situation right now. The Queen's group is using both soft and hard tactics to win him over. Minister He is an upright person and doesn't want to be associated with this group of people.
Fortunately, he did not defect to the Queen's party nor stand on the camp of Prince Qi and Prince Rui. Therefore, the Queen's party has not taken action against him yet.
But this is only the current situation. Once the Queen's party gains the upper hand and completely establishes a foothold in the court, a person like Minister He will certainly not be used by them.
At that time, the Queen will inevitably eliminate dissidents in order to consolidate her power, and Minister He will be in danger."
"Of course. Father-in-law is my wife's biological father. We will certainly not watch him being framed." Mo Jiuye was afraid that He Zhiran would worry. Although he said this to Fenanyu, his eyes were always on his wife.
In fact, even if Fei Nanyu didn't say it, He Zhiran could guess the general situation.
Especially since she knew her father's upright character, if the day really came when he could no longer escape, he would not compromise even if he chose to die.
It was because of this consideration that He Zhiran insisted on following Mo Jiuye to the capital despite Mrs. He's dissuasion.
In the communication between him and Fei Nanyu, both parties have formed a certain tacit understanding. Even if many things do not need to be said in too much detail, they will understand each other.
Wanting to understand the situation roughly, Mo Jiuye pulled He Zhiran and stood up.
"It's getting late, so my wife and I won't bother you any more. I'll come back to Mr. Fei's place in three days at the latest."
"Okay, I'll wait for news from the Ninth Young Master." Fei Nanyu sent them to the side door from which they came in, and watched their backs walk away before turning back.
Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran left Fei Mansion, wandered around to avoid the sight of the patrolling soldiers, and went to the backyard of Shangshu Mansion.
Mo Jiuye was familiar with the environment of the Fei Mansion, and He Zhiran was even more familiar with the situation of the Shangshu Mansion.
The two of them also went around to the backyard. He Zhiran pointed to a location and Mo Jiuye took her over the wall and entered.
This is the backyard of the Shangshu Mansion. Shangshu He did not have concubines. The backyard used to be He Zhiran’s boudoir and the yard for him and his old wife.
Perhaps because He Zhiran and Mrs. He were not there, the backyard was pitch black and felt very desolate.
He Zhiran understood Minister He's habits. Logically, even if his father was still busy with official business in the study, there would be servants leaving lights on in the yard where he was resting.
As a result, she dragged Mo Jiuye around the yard, but not only was there no light on, she didn't even see the shadow of a servant.
After taking a few steps, He Zhiran stepped on a small stone.
This had never happened before. In such a wealthy family, even if the servants failed to clean other places, they would not dare to neglect the area around the master's yard.
From this, it can be guessed that the reason she stepped on pebbles here must be because no one cleaned it.
He Zhiran did not see his father in the yard where his parents lived, and he became more and more confused.
However, she did not stay here for long, but pulled Mo Jiuye towards the study in the front yard of the Shangshu Mansion.
My father didn't go back to his yard, he should be in the study.
What made her happy was that as soon as she stepped into the front yard, she saw light in the study, and He Zhiran finally felt relieved.
But it still surprised her. Although her father had always been honest, the family expenses had never been less.
The Shangshu Mansion doesn't have as many servants as other powerful families, but you can still see a few of them from time to time.
Especially tonight, she had been in the Shangshu Mansion for at least twenty minutes, and she didn't see any guards, let alone the night watchman.
What is going on?
With doubts in their hearts, the couple came directly to the outside of the study as if they were entering a deserted place. There were no obstacles along the way and they didn't have to hide from anyone.
Seeing the person standing at the door, He Zhiran finally breathed a sigh of relief.
That man was her father's follower, and she had called him Uncle Feng since she was a child.
Uncle Feng is about the same age as Minister He. He has been serving him since he was a child and is the person Minister He trusts the most.
He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye looked around before walking towards the study door.
Although Uncle Feng has no martial arts skills, he is a serious person.
Hearing footsteps, he asked loudly, "Who is it?"
"Uncle Feng, it's me." He Zhiran replied quickly.
"Miss?" Uncle Feng was very familiar with this voice. He had watched Miss grow up since she was a child.
"Uncle Feng, is father in the study?"
The conversation outside the study was quite loud, and He Shangshu inside also heard it. He didn't know if he was hallucinating, but he actually heard his daughter's voice.
Before Uncle Feng could answer, Minister He had already opened the door of the study.
When he looked at the two figures in front of him in the moonlight, he was stunned.
The voice was indeed Ranran's, but it was clearly two men.
"Who are you? Why are you pretending to be my daughter?"
He Zhiran could sense that his father's tone was not so calm when he spoke.
"Dad, I'm Ranran. My husband and I disguised ourselves to get into the city."
As he spoke, He Zhiran took advantage of the dark night and strong wind, took out a wet wipe from the space, quickly wiped off the makeup on his face, and then let his hair down, completely revealing his true face.
At this time, Uncle Feng also came forward with a lantern.
In the light of the lantern, Minister He finally saw the person in front of him clearly.
His voice was a little choked, losing the majesty that He Zhiran had in mind.
"It's really Ranran. Dad thought he would never see you again in this life..."
Seeing his father like this, He Zhiran's tears welled up in his eyes.
She stepped forward and held her father's arm: "Dad, be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall. Let's go inside and talk."
Minister He also saw that his daughter was so excited that she forgot for a moment that they were still standing outside.
Following Minister He into the study, Uncle Feng stood guard outside diligently.
Everything here is not unfamiliar to He Zhiran, because she inherited all the memories and emotions of the original owner.
Everything in the study was the same as she remembered, except that there would be a thick stack of documents on the desk, but today there was none.
Just as she was confused, Mo Jiuye had already saluted Minister He.
"Meet my father-in-law."
Minister He thought that the person with his daughter might be his son-in-law, but his attention was just on He Zhiran and he didn't look at Mo Jiuye carefully.
Only when Mo Jiuye took the initiative to bow and speak did he look at him carefully.
Mo Jiuye didn't remove her makeup, so He Zhiran quickly explained, "Dad, my husband and I dressed like this for the convenience of entering the city."
Even if she didn't say it, Minister He recognized Mo Jiuye's voice.
