Chapter 398 He also believes what Nanbao says
Mrs. Zhou's maiden name was Zhou Se.
Mrs. Zhou cried until her eyes were red, and Prime Minister Zhou, as her brother, couldn't bear it.
"Forget it, Dad, please speak nicely. I'm feeling miserable. Go home first. No matter what happens, it's a good thing that Wuyang is fine now. We can't care about other things. You should also pay less attention to Liao Jiu's affairs in the future. He is in his twenties and doesn't need you to worry about him anymore..."
After much persuasion, Mrs. Zhou was persuaded to go back.
After Madam Zhou left, both the old Prime Minister Zhou and Prime Minister Zhou were calm and solemn, and the father and son looked at each other in silence.
After a long while, Prime Minister Zhou said, "It's been a while since I went to the palace to play chess with the emperor. Let's go play a few games tomorrow."
***
Time passes by second by second.
Erbao was so nervous that his palms were full of sweat. His mother and the other two waited outside without saying a word. After a while, Erbao's stomach started to growl.
Jiang Lianzhu took out beef jerky and chocolate for her daughter to eat to fill her stomach first.
She felt that it was not a good idea to keep waiting like this. It was too tense and every second was unbearable. She had no idea what was going on inside and there had been no movement for a long time. She was just about to go find Xiang Zuo to ask when she heard a noise from the main hall.
Several guards with swords led the way, and first Liao Jiu and Dabao came out of the gate. Then, the two of them waited there, turned around and looked inside, waiting for the people inside to come out.
Jiang Lianzhu and Erbao were relieved when they saw Dabao, who was safe and sound with Liao Jiu.
I also followed their gaze and looked at the man coming out of the door.
From a distance, I couldn't see his appearance clearly, I could only see his side profile. He looked very serious and imposing, with an upright figure. He was wearing a navy blue robe with bright yellow gold edges and a faint dragon pattern.
No need to guess, this person should be Xuanhuang.
He strode out and everyone made way for him. Finally, he got on a sedan chair that had been prepared in advance in the middle of the yard.
Before getting into the sedan chair, he seemed to sense the gazes of Jiang Lianzhu and the others and looked back.
All the servants in the direction of Jiang Lianzhu and the others lowered their heads in fear.
Only the three of them, mother and daughter, faced that gaze. Nanbao was still eating, chewing with a smacking sound, and Erbao was looking at them curiously. Jiang Lianzhu was neither humble nor arrogant.
Xuan Huang frowned, a little surprised, but he didn't pursue the matter. He turned around and got into the sedan chair and left.
After Emperor Xuan's sedan chair left, Liao Jiu came over holding Dabao's hand.
"Brother, are you okay?" Erbao went forward and asked with concern.
Liao Jiu said, "Let's go back to the yard and talk."
Jiang Lianzhu nodded, "Okay."
Nanbao asked Liao Jiu for a hug, and Liao Jiu took it from Jiang Lianzhu's hand and walked in front. Jiang Lianzhu, holding Dabao and Erbao, followed naturally.
Xiang Zuo and Xiang You were a little stunned watching from the side. The master was so skilled in holding the child. It was not the first or second time that he had done it. If someone didn't know the situation, they would really think they were a harmonious family.
Dad and mom, with three beautiful and smart kids.
Not at all inconsistent.
Back in the yard again, Nanny Cheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that they were all back. "You're back! I'll go to the kitchen to heat up the food."
He did not interfere with their conversation and just walked away.
Jiang Lianzhu felt that Nanny Cheng was truly a sensible person. Without years of experience in serving others, she wouldn't have such a look.
Liao Jiu and his group returned to the main house, and Erbao was almost dying of anxiety.
"Come on, brother, what happened? Did the emperor blame us? Or what?"
Jiang Lianzhu noticed that Dabao was in a state of great excitement. He had been in this state since he came out and was still in this state now.
This child is rarely so unstable.
She couldn't help but look at Liao Jiu.
Liao Jiu said softly, "The Emperor has met Dabao. He didn't blame Dabao, but was very excited. He said that Dabao looked exactly like Prince Xiang when he was a child, and talked about some of the things he did when he grew up with Prince Xiang. Later, the Emperor asked Dabao how they escaped, and said it was a good thing they escaped. It's obvious that the Emperor regretted it and remembered the brotherhood they once had..."
Erbao asked, "Then what?"
By this time, Dabao had calmed down. He said, "Then, Governor Liao applied for a reinvestigation of the case to clear our Xiangwang Mansion of all charges, and the Emperor agreed."
Erbao's eyebrows were filled with joy, "That's great! Mom, that's great!"
Jiang Lianzhu's brows also relaxed.
This is a great thing.
It was halfway to success. Dabao turned around, bowed to Liao Jiu, and said solemnly, "Governor Liao, thank you."
Liao Jiu didn't take it seriously. "Silly child, what are you thanking me for? It's my duty to redress wrongful convictions. As long as the Emperor lets us start investigating, we'll have the upper hand and can turn the passive situation into the active one. You won't have to hide anymore. Now we just need to find evidence and restore the truth of that year."
Jiang Lianzhu pondered, "Well, on the one hand, I need to find the Immortal Spirit Grass, cure the poison in Mao Shurong's body, and make him confess the conspiracy behind Baihua Tower. On the other hand, I need to speed up the search for that Chunjian Ma. For now, I will start with these two aspects..."
Suddenly, there was a noise outside the door, as if someone had tripped.
Liao Jiu shouted in a deep voice, "Who?"
Xiang Zuo and Xiang You were guarding the gate of the yard and did not enter the yard.
Then I heard someone knocking on the door. "It's me, Aunt Cheng. The food in the kitchen is ready. Do you want to eat first?"
Speaking of eating, Nanbao's stomach started to growl again, "Eat, Mommy, I'm so hungry."
They had been waiting for Liao Jiu to come back and eat together, but then Xuan Huang came and called Dabao to talk, and they had no appetite to eat anymore until now.
The food in the kitchen has been heated up several times.
"Okay, let's eat first."
Liao Jiu said, "Why haven't you eaten yet?" He thought they had all eaten. When Nanny Cheng said she wanted to heat up the food, he thought she was heating it up just for him.
Nanbao smiled sweetly, "Mom said, let's wait for Dad to come back and eat together."
Liao Jiu glanced at Jiang Lianzhu and coughed lightly, "Don't wait for me next time. I'm busy and I don't know when I'll be back. Don't let the children go hungry."
There was an unstoppable sense of pride in his eyes.
Well, at this moment, he has the flavor of the head of the family when he pretended to be a bachelor.
Jiang Lianzhu seemed to be very happy with him, but she didn't say that. He believed what Nanbao said.
Turned around and opened the door.
"Madam Cheng, I think you tripped just now. Is everything okay?"
Nanny Cheng stood there hunched over, rubbing her waist. "It's nothing serious. I'm just old and my eyes can't see well. The streetlights weren't bright at night, so I tripped and twisted my waist. It's nothing. I'll go get someone to serve dinner."
