Duan Changyu carried the rooster and married the bride. After that, he went out to inquire about the situation of the Chu family. He rushed back early in the morning and broke into Mo Lingyuan's room.
Seeing the tears on the butler's face and smelling the smell of gunpowder in the room, he was anxious. He hurriedly asked, "Marshal, what happened?"
Mo Lingyuan waved his hand and asked the butler to leave. He turned around and walked to the study next door, "How's the investigation going?"
Duan Changyu followed behind him and reported, "The Chu family did have a daughter who was sent away when she was little. Because she was ugly when she was born and did not cry after a few days, she was diagnosed as an idiot by the doctor."
"Chu Qingze's first wife, Wen Ruyi, died of a blood flooding a few days after giving birth to her daughter. Chu Qingze was wary of the Wen family's influence at the time and did not want to be gossiped by others. He had the nursemaid who had always been by Wen Ruyi's side take the child to the countryside to be raised."
"He sent the child and the nanny to the countryside and cut off all communication with them."
"If the president had not set you up with the Chu family's daughter, Chu Qingze would not have brought her back."
"Chu Qingze is cunning..."
Duan Changyu gritted his teeth. He wanted to scold Chu Qingze and his ugly daughter, but he could only swallow his vulgarities when he thought Chu Yunyao was already his Young Marshal's wife.
"A girl who has been living in the countryside and has never seen the world, sleeping in the same bed with a man, was caught and not shy.
After seeing the gun, she did not panic at all.
She easily dodged the bullet, her body nimble and unfazed.
Do you think this is possible?" Mo Lingyuan stopped and impatiently threw the pistol on the desk.
If it were any other girl of this age, she would have fainted from fright upon hearing the gunshot. How could she still have the mood to act soft and weak in front of him?
What happened in the cottage flashed in Mo Lingyuan's mind again. The girl's soft body rubbed against his chest, and his fingers still felt a slippery touch.
He unconsciously rubbed his fingers a few times.
It was still fresh in his memory.
He thought about it many times.
"What do you mean?" Duan Changyu asked, "Chu Qingze used his daughter's marriage as an excuse to plant a spy in residence?"
Mo Lingyuan looked at the confidential documents in his hand and snorted, "Even if she's not a spy, she's still a pawn that can be discarded at any time. Once she dies in our house, Chu Qingze can support the Si family and completely fall out with me."
"Since that's the case, I won't do as he wishes. I'll take good care of her and see what she can do here."
As he spoke, the butler knocked on the door and came in, "Master, the Military Governor's wife, expressed concern about the absence of a steward in their manor. She was worried that the newly married Madam might not be familiar with the household rules. To ensure that Madam could serve you better in the future, she arranged for Nanny Rong, who had been serving by her side, to provide guidance and teach Madam."
Duan Changyu was furious, "This is too much. She wants to take charge of my business."
Mo Lingyuan frowned and thought for a moment, then his brows relaxed, and he smiled, "Since she is so concerned about my wife, of course, we should accept her kindness. Arrange for Nanny Rong to live with my wife in the Moon Pavilion."
Duan Changyu immediately understood Mo Lingyuan's intention and agreed, "This is a good idea. We can test the true intentions of your wife."
The butler's worried expression disappeared, and he brought Nanny Rong to Chu Yunyao's bridal chamber with a smile.
