Mo Ranran nodded: "Madam, you can live here peacefully. If you are not satisfied with anything, just tell me. You can also eat in the kitchen or in the small kitchen in the yard. You can clean up first. I'm leaving first!"
Mo Ranran was in charge of everything in the mansion, including the distribution of monthly wages for the servants in the mansion. After he finished speaking, he left amidst Zhang Yiyao's numerous thanks.
Mo Ranran said to Yu Zi who was following her, "If they need anything, please remember to report it to me in time."
"Yes," Yu Zi said calmly.
Yuzhu said with a smile: "Miss, you have been very good to them. Can you see which mansion treats servants so well and even allocates a courtyard specifically for them?"
Mo Ranran tapped Yuzhu's head gently: "What do you know? Since this person was recruited by my brother himself, he must be extraordinary. It's always better to be careful. I remembered that there are some soft fabrics in the warehouse. Let someone send them to Madam Zhang to make two sets of clothes for the child. Send some food over too, so that the child won't starve."
When Goro received the things, he felt even more grateful and developed a sense of belonging to the Marquis' Mansion. Perhaps staying in the Marquis' Mansion for the rest of his life would be a good choice.
It has to be said that no one who grows up in a powerful family at the center of power has a simple mind.
When Goro first started working as Mo Yu's personal bodyguard, he thought things would never be peaceful. However, half a month had passed and no one came to visit, nor had there been any so-called assassinations. The entire mansion was eerily peaceful.
It seems as if the world has forgotten the mighty Hou Mansion.
Now the weather has warmed up, green buds are slightly emerging on the branches. Mo Yu is not in a hurry to sit in the yard and play chess with Mo Ranran. Mo Ranran is holding the black chess piece and looking at the chessboard with a frown. After struggling for a few times, he finally put down the chess piece in his hand and said with a pout: "I lost. Brother is really not good enough for me."
Mo Yu looked at her with a smile and shook his head: "Ran Ran, you said you wouldn't let me give in to you, why are you regretting it now?"
Mo Bin came over. He had rarely seen Ge Luo since he came to Mo Yu's side. He bowed and saluted: "Uncle Mo!"
Mo Bin's eyes were tired, but he still responded. Then he came to Mo Yu's side and said in a low voice: "My Lord, the investigation has yielded results."
Mo Yu nodded and stood up: "Ran Ran, you go back first, I still have some things to do."
Mo Ranran trusted him very much and left without asking any questions.
Mo Yu also left, leaving the chessboard alone on the table.
It can be seen that the white piece has been laying out its plan from the beginning, allowing the black piece to walk into the trap set by the white piece without any vigilance, until the black piece finally realizes that it is too late to turn the situation around, and all its escape routes are blocked.
Goro was standing guard at the study door.
In the study.
Mo Bin showed the results of his investigation into Wei Weiyan and said, "He also has an illegitimate child who has been secretly brought to the capital and is being raised in a farm in the suburbs."
Mo Bin then took out a stack of papers and explained, "This is what I have collected about Wei Weiyan's use of his position, buying and selling official positions, and these are the ministers, princes and dukes who secretly have interests with him. He is really generous. Since he has been the Minister of War for nearly 20 years, nearly a hundred ordinary people have died at his hands."
At this point, Mo Bin wished he could grab his sword and kill Wei Weiyan, the pest in the court.
Mo Yu didn't say anything. He looked at the things that Mo Bin had investigated in his hand. There were five pages of names of officials who were related to Wei Weiyan alone, occupying most of the court. He was shocked. No wonder Wei Weiyan was so arrogant
Mo Yu tapped the table with his fingers and glanced at the indignant Mo Bin. "Uncle Mo, this is how the world works. If you don't have power, you can only be slaughtered by others. These people can only die quietly. Put away the thoughts that shouldn't be in your mind."
Mo Bin's heart sank, and he answered respectfully: "Yes, Lord, what should we do next?"
Mo Yu said calmly: "Do nothing and wait for the opportunity."
"Isn't this too easy for that Wei guy?" Mo Bin asked unwillingly. He was a rough man who knew some martial arts, but he knew nothing about the twists and turns in the court, otherwise the Marquis' Mansion would not have fallen into such a state in just a dozen years.
Mo Yu sighed and explained, "Hey, Uncle Mo, do you really think that the current emperor doesn't know anything about what Wei Weiyan did? I looked at what you found out, and almost everything Wei Weiyan did was on it. Even if our people are capable, it is absolutely impossible for them to find out so many secret things in such a short time? There can only be someone behind the scenes fanning the flames. Who do you think it is?"
Mo Bin felt that his brain was not enough, and he stammered: "My Lord, you are talking about..."
In the end, he swallowed the identity of the person that was already in his mouth.
Mo Yu nodded: "Since that person already knew about it, but hasn't taken any action yet, there is only one possibility, that is, Wei Weiyan's backer, the Ninth Prince Yi Qingyu. Now, we can only wait!"
Mo Bin lowered his head in shame: "Don't worry, my lord. I will be careful in the future."
Mo Yu played with his fingers, but his mind was constantly turning: "Go check the matter of Wei Weiyan's illegitimate child."
Mo Bin listened to Mo Yu's instructions and turned around to check without hesitation: "Yes!"
He really couldn't see clearly the muddy waters of this place, so from now on he just had to do whatever the Marquis asked him to do.
This day was an extremely peaceful day, but there was a restless person.
In the hall, Eunuch Li smiled and bowed respectfully to Mo Yu, who was sitting in the main seat, and said, "Greetings, Lord Marquis!"
Mo Yu chuckled: "I wonder what Eunuch Li is here for?"
Eunuch Li chuckled, "This old servant has come to pass on the emperor's order. The Spring Banquet will be held in three days. This is a banquet held once a year in the palace. Now that the marquis has regained consciousness, he naturally cannot be absent."
"Since it is the emperor's order, I will naturally be present." After saying this, Mo Yu signaled Mo Ranran beside him with his eyes.
Mo Ranran immediately understood and secretly stuffed the silver note that she had prepared long ago to Eunuch Li.
"Eunuch Li also knows that our mansion hasn't attended banquets for a long time. I wonder if there are any taboos?"
Eunuch Li looked at his cuffs and smiled even more. "It's nothing to be taboo about, but the Minister of War will also be attending the Spring Banquet with his family, and I have to go back to the palace to serve the Emperor, so I'll take my leave first."
