When I walked to the study, I saw that the lights in the study had been turned off, and my grandfather just walked out of the study and was closing the door.
Su Wanxin stepped forward and saluted, "Grandpa, I have something important to tell you."
The head of the Mo family smiled kindly and said, "It's Wan'er. Why do you want to tell grandpa so late?"
When people get older, their hearts are not as hard as before. When he abandoned his wife and daughter, he did not regret it. He has been running for power all his life. When he got everything he wanted, he thought of his wife and daughter.
It's a pity that his first wife passed away early, and the daughter he brought back was never close to him because of what happened in the past. He wanted to make up for it but couldn't find a way. However, this granddaughter was extremely caring for him, which gave him the opportunity to flirt with his grandson. Feel.
Therefore, he loves this granddaughter a little more than his biological grandchildren.
"Grandpa, this matter is very important. Let's go to the study to talk about it." Su Wanxin said seriously.
But despite this, Patriarch Mo didn't think Su Wanxin really had anything important to do. He just thought it might be because his son was talking to him in the study when Su Wanxin came to deliver soup, which made Su Wanxin feel that talking about things in the study was very formal.
Children are always like this. Patriarch Mo smiled and didn't take it to heart, but still did not refuse Su Wanxin, "Okay, Wan'er and grandpa come to the study to talk."
With that said, Patriarch Mo reopened the study and let Su Wanxin in. Then he stepped forward and lit the candle in the study, making the study brighter.
"Tell me, what's important?" Patriarch Mo said kindly, as if he were playing with a child.
Su Wanxin naturally saw her grandfather's attitude, but she did not explain it. There was no need for explanation at all. Grandpa would naturally understand it after she told the truth.
"Grandpa, are we, the Mo family, also involved in the recent genocide that has been causing a stir in Yangzhou City?" Su Wanxin asked in front of the head of the Mo family.
The head of the Mo family's eyes narrowed, then returned to his normal look. He said with a normal expression, "Our Mo family is also a prominent family in Yangzhou. We can't just sit idly by when such a big thing happens in Yangzhou. Naturally, we have to take action." Track down the murderer.”
Su Wanxin shook her head, "That's not what I meant. I was talking about attacking the martial arts leader's family. Was the Mo family involved?"
The smile on the head of the Mo family slowly faded, "Where did you hear this from? Do you believe the rumors outside that slander our Mo family?"
"What about Jingshao Pavilion? Does grandpa have anything to do with the people in Jingshao Pavilion?" Su Wanxin asked, looking directly into the eyes of Patriarch Mo without fear.
Patriarch Mo stood up suddenly, "Who told you these things?"
Patriarch Mo couldn't help but be surprised. He had always been very protective of his daughter and granddaughter, who had just been brought home, and did not let them come into contact with things in the dark.
Even in the entire Mo family, only his second son knew about this, because the second son had his own surname and wanted to inherit his mantle, so he did not hide it from him, but how could Wan'er know about it.
Su Wanxin knelt directly on the ground, "Grandpa, just tell me the truth. Is the Mo family already in danger?"
"How is that possible? The Mo family is a family that has been inherited for hundreds of years. How can it be said that it will fall?" The head of the Mo family said categorically. As for whether he felt guilty, only he knew.
"Didn't it fall down just by saying it was overthrown? Duke An Guo's Mansion also had all the power in the beginning, but it didn't fall down just by saying it was overthrown in the end?" Su Wanxin asked rhetorically.
Patriarch Mo murmured to himself, "That was different, because the emperor..."
In the middle of the conversation, the head of the Mo family suddenly stopped, because he suddenly remembered that this matter would also be paid attention to by the emperor. If the emperor really found out something, then the Mo family would be nothing more than a word from the emperor.
Guessing what her grandfather was thinking, Su Wanxin knew it was time, "Grandpa, the Long Guard has arrived in Yangzhou and has found out who our Mo family is."
"Dragon Guard!" Patriarch Mo exclaimed, then suddenly sat back on the chair as if he was out of strength.
After all, he has been the son-in-law of Duke Anguo for more than 20 years. Naturally, he is no stranger to this name, which makes officials tremble with fear when they hear it.
These dragon guards couldn't help but protect the emperor, and even investigated the secrets of officials. Many officials were dismissed and exiled after being found guilty of illegal activities by the dragon guards.
The study fell into silence. After a long time, Patriarch Mo finally said, "How did you know about this?"
Su Wanxin came up with the words she had prepared a long time ago, "I have a eldest sister who is married outside. Now she is the princess of Anjun Palace, and she has a good relationship with the queen. She sent a letter to me after she found out about it. of."
Seeing the somewhat moved expression on her grandfather's face, Su Wanxin continued, "The Su family was sent to prison for treason, but now they have been released safely without being punished too much by the emperor. It is the result of my sister's plea. "
The head of the Mo family must know more about the Su family than Su Wanxin. He knows that a large part of the reason why the Mo family was not beheaded was because of the mutiny provoked by Prince Jing. There were too many officials in the capital involved at that time, and the law would not hold everyone accountable. The emperor cannot possibly kill everyone.
However, compared to other families involved, the punishment of the Su family was indeed light. After all, the emperor did not restrict the descendants of the Su family from joining the court as officials. I heard that a bastard of the Su family became a seventh-grade official a few days ago. Yamen officials.
Moreover, the queen is pregnant now. If the imperial concubine is really on good terms with the queen as Su Wanxin said, her plea may actually have some weight.
After Su Ningxin told the emperor about the queen's pregnancy, the emperor released the news and sealed the news that the queen was no longer in the palace.
After all, if the queen suddenly brings a child back in the future, there will be some problems with the child's life experience. Even if the emperor doesn't show concern, he can't stop the scholar-bureaucrats from talking.
Therefore, from the perspective of Patriarch Mo, the queen was pregnant and raising a fetus in the palace, and he felt that the queen must be very valuable.
After thinking about it, Patriarch Mo stepped down and helped Su Wanxin up and asked, "Wan'er, did your eldest sister tell you anything else?"
"Eldest sister said that now the Dragon Guard is investigating the Jingshao Pavilion and has no time to care about the aristocratic families connected with the Jingshao Pavilion. When the Dragon Guard investigates the Jingshao Pavilion, then families like ours may not end up well,"
Su Wanxin observed the expression of Patriarch Mo before continuing, "But if we can make meritorious deeds and expose the secrets of Jingshao Pavilion when Long Wei has no time to take care of us, and if the eldest sister helps us intercede, we can probably protect Mo." Home is safe."
