In the Imperial Palace, Lu Yi spread out the memorials and explained to Fan Xu next to him how to handle political affairs in various places.
Fan Xu listened in a daze, as if "I don't understand what you are talking about."
Lu Yi touched his head, with a smile flashing in his eyes: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand now. You just need to know this matter, and you will understand it slowly in the future."
"Father, is there any news from my father?" Fan Xu said, "My mother stays in the small Buddhist hall every day, copying sutras and chanting Buddhist scriptures. If there is good news, I want to tell her, so that she can worry less."
"Your father has been gone for half a year. Calculating the time, there should be news soon." Lu Yi said, "Don't worry, he is brave and good at fighting, so he will be fine."
He said that Cao Cao would arrive. In the afternoon of the same day, eight hundred miles of urgent military information was sent back to the capital.
Huiguo and Liangguo officially went to war.
Fan Yuanxi went to war personally and beat the opponent to a pulp.
The Liang Kingdom sent generals one after another, but no one could survive, so Fan Yan followed Fan Yuanxi's lead and led the expedition himself. Now the war on the border is a war between two emperors.
Shangguan Jinxiu felt much relieved after reading the battle report.
"Mother, my adoptive father said that it's pointless for you to stay in the palace all day. It's better to go out and play with your adoptive mother."
"Your adoptive mother has to do business, so how can she have time to play with me?"
"Half of the adoptive mother's business is now taken care of by her apprentice, and the other half is also handed over to her close men. She spends most of her time doing her own things in the house now."
Shangguan Jinxiu didn't want to trouble Mu Siyu, but Mu Siyu personally went to the palace to pick her up.
Fan Yuanxi didn't know when he would come back. Shangguan Jinxiu would easily have random thoughts if he stayed in the palace all day, so he might as well spend time with her.
So Mu Siyu invited many of her good friends to watch the latest vaudeville troupe, and her days were carefree and her time passed.
"Princess, come and see, is that your Mr. Xiao Lu?" Mrs. Jia stood at the window, pointing to the figure on the street and asked.
Mu Siyu walked to the window.
On the street, Lu Shaoyu was talking to a woman. Although his expression remained unchanged, he could tell that he was very patient and not at all impatient like ladies who took the initiative to strike up a conversation.
"Have you learned your lesson from what happened last time?" Su Zhiliu said, "The whole capital has been rumored that Shao Yu has an extramarital affair and is very fond of the woman. As a result, they are investigating the case of the woman's abduction and trafficking.
It’s also broken. Those women are so pitiful! They were sold into the mountains and forests, and were given memory-destroying drugs. Each and every one of them lost their memory. They didn’t even know where they came from. Not only that, but their faces were also treated badly.
They were transformed and even their biological parents didn’t recognize them.”
"This woman looks familiar," Mu Siyu said.
"Who is it?" Several ladies looked outside.
"It does look familiar. Have you seen it somewhere?"
"Could it be that girl from the Xing family?" Mrs. Mo said, "After a few years, that girl must have grown up."
The Xing family is in trouble now. Even though there are still people in the Xing family who are officials, the official positions have never been promoted, and now they are just trying to maintain their face.
"If it were that girl from the Xing family, your Shao Yu would be very sympathetic to her! He was the one who solved the Xing family's case back then."
Mu Siyu looked at the two of them.
"By the way, Mrs. Mo, is your daughter-in-law going to give birth?" Su Zhiliu asked Mrs. Mo.
Mrs. Mo said: "What happened in the past half month is that I am about to give birth."
"Congratulations, we will have a drink at your house then."
"Your daughter-in-law is about to give birth, why are you still looking so sad?" said the person next to her.
"We were the ones who fell in love with the girl from the Li family at first, and the boy didn't object, so the matter was settled. However, after they got married, the two of them always lacked something."
Everyone was too embarrassed to say anything.
Everyone knows that the young master of the Mo family likes Lu Zhiyun. He didn't get married until Lu Zhiyun got married and had children. There is something missing in this, and everyone with a discerning eye knows it.
Mu Siyu sent Shangguan Jinxiu back to the palace, and then returned to the Lu Mansion.
"Madam, we have a guest at home." The housekeeper said, "It's a girl."
"I understand." Mu Siyu said, "Is the young master back?"
"came back."
Not long after Mu Siyu returned to her room, Lu Shaoyu came over with Xing Jiashi.
"I have met Madam." Xing Jiashi saluted, "Junior Xing Jiashi, I have met Madam before. I wonder if Madam still remembers her."
"I know, that little girl who likes strange stones." Mu Siyu patted the side, "Sit down and talk."
Lu Shaoyu directly found a seat and sat down.
"When will you return to the capital?"
"Master Lu was out on business this time, and I happened to meet him, so I came back with him to have a look. Although there is nothing in the capital that makes me miss it, after all, it is the place where I grew up, and I want to take a look."
"Now that you're back, let's live in the mansion."
"Will this trouble Madam?"
Lu Shaoyu said: "Don't you want to customize a batch of hidden weapons from my mother? If you don't live in the house, how would my mother know what you need?"
"Hidden weapon?" Mu Siyu was puzzled, "What do you want a hidden weapon for?"
“I prepared it for the sisters of the Yunying tribe.”
I thought that women are not as strong as men after all, but we can borrow power from the outside world. I want to design a hidden weapon to help the Yunying tribe resist those evil people."
"This is a big deal and I need to plan it carefully. You can stay here first and talk about their situation in detail so that I can come up with a better solution."
"That's annoying."
"Have you been living with the Yunying tribe all these years?"
"No, I am a cosmopolitan person and have visited everywhere." Xing Jiashi said with a smile, "I saw a lot of beautiful scenery and met a lot of people. It was very interesting."
"You are living a free and easy life like this. Not to mention women, there are many men in the world who are not as good as you." Mu Siyu said, "What about your brother?"
"Master Xiao Lu wrote a letter of recommendation for my brother, and I sent him to Tongyang Academy to study. My brother has lived up to your kindness and has been a top student every year, exempting him from all tuition and miscellaneous fees."
"This is amazing. I proposed the scholarship, so of course I know how intense it is to get these ten places among nearly a thousand students."
Lu Shaoyu said from the side: "Mom, I'll leave her to you. You two can chat slowly. I still have business, so I'll go and do it first."
"Your father is too busy to see anyone, and you can't see anyone either." Mu Siyu complained, "It's really useless to have a son. We can't see him more than once a year anyway."
"I'll come back to have dinner with you in the evening." Lu Shaoyu compromised, "Can you stop training me?"
"Okay, it's still useful." Mu Siyu said, "Go ahead! There's no need to thank you."
