Chapter 346: How did you come to the capital

Chapter 346

"Who?"

Fei Nanyu jerked up into a sitting position. Although he didn't have any martial arts skills, having the window suddenly opened was still enough to startle him.

Mo Jiuye was afraid he would call out to the attendants outside, so he quickly removed the veil from his face.

"Mr. Fei, it's me."

Hearing the familiar voice, Fei Nanyu was still somewhat incredulous.

But in the lamplight he could clearly confirm that the person before him was indeed Mo Jiuye.

"Master Mo, how did you come to the capital?"

For Fei Nanyu, Mo Jiuye showing up in the capital city was an extremely improbable thing.

What's more, he had left Yuncheng without Meng Huaining sending him any messages.

Even so, he was still very curious what Mo Jiuye's purpose was in coming to the capital this time.

Mo Jiuye did not intend to beat around the bush.

"Mr. Fei, I came to the capital because of some family matters. Coming to find you this time, I was also hoping to ask your help with something."

Fei Nanyu had always had a good impression of Mo Jiuye. Seeing that he seemed somewhat anxious, he quickly agreed:

"If there's anything I can help you with, just go ahead and tell me."

"I heard that it's the Ninth Prince's birthday in a few days?" Mo Jiuye asked.

"That's right, in three more days." After a pause, Fei Nanyu asked somewhat uncertainly: "Does your trip to the capital have something to do with the Ninth Prince?"

Recently Fei Nanyu had also noticed some unusual signs.

The usually low-key Ninth Prince wanted to hold some kind of birthday celebration. This could be said to be completely different from his past style.

He had already warned Nan Qi to send people to pay more attention to the Ninth Prince Estate's activities, but he still hadn't received any feedback from Nan Qi's side.

And now Mo Jiuye had suddenly come to the capital, also targeting the Ninth Prince Estate. This made Fei Nanyu have to think more deeply about it.

Especially today, the Emperor had also issued an edict marrying off the Ninth Prince Estate's Jade Princess to Master He, the eldest son of the prominent He family.

"In three days, Prince Qi will bring me to attend the birthday banquet. You can pretend to be my attendant and follow me in. Whether or not you can find that Simeng you mentioned will depend on your own abilities."

As for how Mo Jiuye would take action, Fei Nanyu did not ask further.

Mo Jiuye cupped his fist: "Then, I will have to thank Mr. Fei. I will come find you on the night before the banquet."

Fei Nanyu nodded. "Alright." As he spoke, he looked at Mo Jiuye. It had already been several months since they last met. He heard the northwest was bitterly cold, but he couldn't see any signs of hardship on him.

"Were you doing well in the northwest?"

"Thank you for your concern. Everything was fine for us in the northwest."

Speaking of the northwest, Mo Jiuye couldn't help but once again feel grateful to Fei Nanyu.

"Thank you, Mr. Fei, for thinking of my Mo family and sending Master Meng there to take care of us."

Although Fei Nanyu's purpose in sending Meng Huaining to the northwest was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, Mo Jiuye sincerely thanked him from the bottom of his heart.

He understood clearly that for a person to rise to power, it would be impossible without some shrewdness.

If Meng Huaining had not gone to Yuncheng as county magistrate, his family would not have been able to live such a smooth life. Not only that, his family had also gained such an outstanding brother-in-law.

In fact, Fei Nanyu knew clearly in his heart that with Mo Jiuye and his wife's intelligence, it was impossible for them to not guess one of his purposes in sending Meng Huaining to Yuncheng.

Yet the other party had sincerely thanked him. He instantly felt somewhat ashamed.

"It was a coincidence. Master Mo need not take this matter to heart. As a pillar of Great Shun, yet meeting such injustice and decline, this is the most Fei can do."

Looking into Mo Jiuye's sincere eyes, Fei Nanyu instantly changed his original intentions.

Even before coming to the capital, he would often hear the common folk discussing things like the Mo family men had established new merits for Great Shun again.

Thus, ever since he was little he had a very good impression towards the Mo family. Especially after arriving at the capital, he discovered that the Mo family had truly suffered unjust treatment from his so-called father whom he had not acknowledged yet.

Because of this, he had felt many times that the Mo family men's contributions were not valued enough.

Even Nan Qi, whom he assisted every day, was the same. He would often reminisce to Fei Nanyu about the heroic deeds of the Mo family men.

After hearing these kinds of words so many times, with Fei Nanyu's meticulous personality, he naturally investigated further. The results proved everything was true, and thus his respect for the Mo family grew even deeper.

Now, his good impression of the Mo family had already taken firm root.

Especially in recent days, despite Meng Huaining not sending him any news about the Mo family, he did not have the slightest suspicion.
