Mo Huawen came back when Mo Xuetong was tidying up the study for him after dinner.
When I walked in, I saw the light on in my study room, and the gentle smile of the woman in white under the light. Suddenly, a glimmer of light flashed in my eyes. Once upon a time, I had been so happy. There was such a woman who was wholeheartedly for me, but there were too many External factors caused them to drift apart, and finally the yin and yang were separated.
"Father, have you had a meal? There are some hot dishes prepared in the kitchen, and we are waiting for father to come back." Mo Xuetong put down the book in his hand and greeted him affectionately.
Looking at my daughter's gentle smile, I felt soft in my heart. I reached out and touched her head and said with a smile: "I just used it outside, but now I don't need to prepare anymore."
"Father, please be careful, don't mess up Tong'er's hair. This will make Tong'er go out to meet people." Mo Xuetong covered her head that was touched by him, pouted and said coquettishly.
Looking at his daughter's pretty face, the affection in her childishness was completely different from the alienation she had when they first met. Mo Huawen couldn't help but feel good. He couldn't help but reached out and rubbed his hair, and joked with a smile: "Tong Why can't I meet you so much? My pupils are the most beautiful and no one can compare with them."
"Father! Tong'er's hair has been messed up by you!" Mo Xuetong complained.
Mo Huawen didn't care, and took her hand and walked into the study together: "What does it matter? It's late at night, and we don't need to see anyone, so let's make it as chaotic as possible."
"Father!" Mo Xuetong stomped his feet angrily.
It was rare to see his usually aloof daughter like this, and Mo Huawen burst into laughter.
"Who made Tong'er's hair so soft and feel like brocade?" Mo Huawen argued. After joking with his daughter like this, he felt that his nerves that had been tense all day relaxed a little, and his mood became much better.
He sat down at the desk, took out the case file he had brought with him, opened it and couldn't help but sigh.
"Father, could it be that you have been busy all day just for this case file today, and you have to come home so late?" Mo Xuetong thoughtfully made him a cup of Yuqian Longjing, and asked curiously as he leaned over.
"A while ago, there was a thief in the Mingguo Mansion's house. Not only were things stolen, but a young lady in the house was also said to be missing. A married aunt in the Dingguo Mansion returned to her parents' home and said she had been robbed halfway. If it hadn't been for Yan The king left quickly and was almost kidnapped. A few days ago, during a banquet at your maternal grandfather's house, a little maid was killed. Yesterday, something happened to Pingguo Gong's house. Even their ancestral hall was robbed, and the tablets inside were in disorder. Throw it away, I don’t know where to throw it even if it’s a family tree.”
Mo Huawen sighed and told the whole story exactly.
He really had a headache. These things seemed to have nothing to do with each other, but he always felt that there was a certain connection. Especially these things were connected to the Fuguo Palace. Why didn't he feel wary? Although he didn't understand what happened back then. , but he knew that his wife had always been nervous. In the past, whenever she heard about the emperor's order in Yuncheng, her eyes would always show fear.
This is probably the reason why she has never been in good health! Those speculations, because she never said anything, and he didn't ask, but he was suspicious in his heart!
Thinking of this, he remembered that strange thing again!
Luo Bin also wrote a letter that day about his wife's past. He also specifically asked if his wife's jewelry from the past was still there. He said that the old lady missed her daughter and wanted to pick out a few jewelry that Luo Xia used all the time and keep them as gifts. Man, because the old lady is old, Luo Bin said it would be best to choose something made of jade, such as jade bracelets and jade pendants, so that the old lady can have something to think about and can also strengthen her body and keep fit.
Although Mo Huawen was confused, he still complied. Later, he gave some jade bracelets and jade pendants that Luo Xia had used before her death, and Luo Bin didn't say anything else.
No matter how I thought about it, I felt that this matter was unreasonable. When I combined it with what happened in these grand ducal mansions, I always felt that some things were secretly connected.
With the power of the four princes, who can easily shake it without leaving any trace? I, the newly appointed Jing Zhaoyin, are investigating, and the four families are also investigating. How come so many days have passed without any clues? No, if there really is a force that can do it without leaving any trace.
Only Royal!
King Chu, King Yan, or the charming and charming King Xuan, or simply...
That thought made him at a loss for what to do, and he didn't even know whether he should investigate seriously or pretend to be diligent and just keep up the good work.
"Tong'er, did your mother leave you anything special before, such as a jade bracelet or a jade pendant?" Mo Huawen asked after thinking for a moment.
"My mother left some jade jewelry for Tong'er. It was in the secret room of my father's study. When Tong'er came to Beijing, she didn't take it out because she didn't know what would happen... and it's still there." Xue Tong blinked her eyes and smiled.
Except for a jade bracelet that she took off, she really hadn't touched anything else there.
Tong'er came to Beijing, but she didn't take away the jewelry her mother left for her. She was afraid that she wouldn't accept her, and eventually sent her back to Yuncheng, so she left a way out for herself!
Mo Huawen was filled with pity and said guiltily: "Tong'er, father will never send you away again. If you go back to Yuncheng, it will be us, father and daughter, who go back together."
"Tong'er, don't leave father either." Mo Xuetong smiled sweetly, pouted, and said sweetly, "Father is not allowed to leave Tong'er aside again, otherwise Tong'er will ignore father in the future."
"No, never again." His young daughter's coquettish words made his heart ache inexplicably. He knew clearly in his heart that even if his daughter had no grudges now, the abandonment during that period would definitely hurt her deeply. Deep, now I think about whether I took the wrong medicine at that time, and I was so cruel to leave behind the little girl who lost her mother's love.
"Why did my father ask about my mother's jade jewelry? Is it related to this case?" With a quick turn of his eyes, Mo Xuetong changed the subject and asked.
Mo Huawen regained his composure for a moment, opened the case file in front of him, pointed to a section with special annotations, and said: "The lady from the Duke's Mansion of the Ming Dynasty reportedly packed away a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry when she went out, including jade. She has the most ornaments. This young lady is a concubine, but she is very popular with a widowed aunt of the You family. It is said that the childless woman gave almost all of her dowry to this young lady."
"The aunt in Duke Dingguo's mansion was the most beloved daughter of the old lady in Duke Dingguo's mansion. When she got married, she had a lot of red makeup. It is said that the corners of the table were decorated with many jade articles. That little girl from your maternal grandfather's house , although the identity is not revealed, it belongs to your grandmother. It is said that many jade items around your grandmother were stolen that day."
"There is also the Pingguo Duke's Mansion. Because of the Chinese New Year, some gold and silver jewelry, mainly jade, were placed in front of the ancestral tablets in the ancestral hall. These were all swept away. It seems that someone is looking for something, and these things should be Accessories." Mo Huawen frowned.
In addition, Luo Bin asked him for Luo Xia's past jade bracelets, jade pendants and other jade products. Mo Huawen was even 80% sure that this thing was made of jade, but what kind of thing was related to the four princes' palaces? It was another very important jade product, and Mo Huawen really couldn't remember it for a moment.
Touching my head, I felt a dull pain from thinking about it all day.
"The events in the Four Dukes' Houses seem to be related. Otherwise, why did they suddenly break out? If it is as my father suspected, an item should have flowed into the Four Dukes' Houses, but I don't know which one it is, so the Four Dukes' Houses That's why things happened one after another. Father, maybe you can also think about why the four princes who rarely hold banquets take turns hosting banquets during the Spring Festival. Is it someone's deliberate design or is it a coincidence." Mo Xuetong thought for a moment and said.
Mo Huawen didn't expect that his somewhat childish daughter could actually say such words, and he felt more and more that this daughter was smart and adorable.
"Father, think about it again. Is it really a coincidence that these things suddenly come together? Or is it someone who did it on purpose? What can happen to the Yun Family of the Four Great Gongs? From what my father said, this doesn't seem to have happened in recent years. Yes, then who is tracing what? In other words, who is most beneficial to that thing, that is, who is most likely to take action." Mo Xuetong said again.
These words made Mo Huawen's eyes shine again and again. He had always had some doubts in his heart, but when his daughter analyzed them so clearly, his eyes suddenly lit up. Some things suddenly became clear. The abnormalities of the four princes themselves were also the same. It explains something, or they also have some knowledge, but these words cannot be said to other people.

That's why You Yuecheng, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, personally pursued the enemy, not just for the sake of the young lady who had lost her reputation; it was also why the Duke of Ding denied it, saying that it was nothing serious; the Duke of Fu also adopted the same attitude, only It was said that the little girl was interested in making money and was killed by her accomplices after stealing. The Duke of Pingguo felt that he was unlucky and asked someone not to bother looking for it. They could just catch the little thief themselves.
My daughter is really a genius. Even in a deep boudoir, she has such knowledge. She is truly worthy of being the daughter of herself and Luo Xia... It’s really amazing! If Luo Xia was still here, she would definitely be happy to see a daughter like this...
His nose suddenly became sore, and he turned his head sharply to cover up his momentary vulnerability!
"Father, what is the emperor's attitude towards this case?" Mo Xuetong and Mo Huawen thought of going together. What is the attitude of the current emperor Zongwen after such a thing happened? I heard that it was because of the case of the Ming Dynasty Duke's Palace. After replacing Jing Zhaoyin, could it be that he also gave his father a time limit? If so, then something was wrong with what he was thinking.
"The emperor has no intention. He only asked me to investigate carefully and not to wrong the four princes." Mo Huawen leaned back in his chair. This was what he couldn't understand. Since the emperor attached so much importance to this matter, why should he still do it? After pulling Qian Jing Zhaoyin down, why did he say this without any pain after he came up
It shouldn't be, Emperor Zongwen's attitude seemed to be tougher, and Mo Xuetong was also deeply puzzled.
When the Duke of Ming Dynasty came up with a case, Emperor Zongwen withdrew because Jing Zhaoyin was not doing well. After his father came up, troubles occurred in the other three mansions one after another. Emperor Zongwen did not blame his father anymore. Is it possible that Emperor Zongwen wanted Jing Zhaoyin to do something wrong? Zhao Yin replaced someone, or could it be said that Emperor Zong Wen was just doing it superficially and was happy to see what happened
Suddenly thinking of Feng Juoran being present on the day of the incident, and what those people said, Mo Xuetong felt vaguely that she had discovered something... (To be continued)
