The catcher Jian looked around again. Fortunately, they were at the entrance of an alley at the moment, and no one was walking this way.
His voice was lowered, "It's okay to tell you, anyway, you will know sooner or later. Let me tell you, our adults dare to be so stubborn, it's because someone with a higher status came from the city and directly suppressed him." Nanhou one."
A higher status?
"who?"
"Old Duke of Dingguo Mansion."
Both Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong were taken aback, a little surprised, "The old man is here too?"
The status of Dingguo Duke's Mansion in the capital is not comparable to that of a mere Marquis of Pingnan.
When the old Duke was young, he made great military exploits and his reputation spread far and wide.
However, when the former emperor was around, such an achievement was obviously the master of success, which made the superior fearful.
The old man was quite far-sighted. He knew that if this situation continued, the whole family would suffer, so he might as well retire by himself.
But it was not enough to just retire like this, so he found a friend who had a grudge against him in the past but actually had a good relationship, and asked him to impeach him in front of the emperor.
For a minor crime, the old Duke's seal of command was taken away, and the whole family was exiled.
However, the old Duke had already prepared for it. Although he was exiled, his family was safe.
None of the people in the entire Duke's Mansion had an accident.
After two years of exile like this, when the current emperor ascends the throne, Ding Guogong's family is the first to be overturned.
The old Duke was grandly welcomed back to the capital, and the Duke's mansion was returned to them.
Some politically sensitive people soon realized that the old Duke might have secretly sided with the new emperor, so even though he was exiled, none of his political enemies could deal with them.
However, although Dingguo's mansion was returned in exchange, the old man left the capital for the reason of his advanced age and went to Yunjing Mountain to recuperate.
And leave a message, so that his descendants will be reused by the emperor based on their own abilities, and he will not intervene.
But because of this, Duke Dingguo's mansion caught the emperor's eyes even more.
What's more, the descendants of Ding Guogong are indeed very promising. Even if the current official position is not high, I believe that in a few years, they will be able to shine in the court.
Therefore, even if the old Duke is not in the capital, his status cannot be shaken.
Logically speaking, Yunjing Mountain is some distance away from Xuanhe Mansion, but I didn't expect the old Duke to come to Xuanhe Mansion.
"Is the old Duke's health unwell?" Gu Yundong asked.
Jian Butou shrugged, "I don't know about it. As a small Butou, I don't know much about the matters above. Anyway, with such a big Buddha, I can't make any troubles if I want to come to Pingnanhou."
Not to mention, before Han Yao and Han Ying thought that Xuanhe Mansion was the biggest of them, how could they know that they were suppressed after less than half a day of fussing about it.
After Jian Butou finished speaking, he bowed his hands to Shao Qingyuan and the two of them, and strode away.
Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong turned around and went directly to Shao's mansion.
As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he heard the porter say, "Master Gu and Mrs. Gu are here."
"My parents?" Gu Yundong was surprised.
She wondered why Mother didn't go to the flower shop today, it turned out that she came to Shao Mansion.
But isn't dad going to the academy to study? Today shouldn't be the day to take a rest.
Speaking of it, Gu Yundong originally planned to go to Xiao Erjin's side today.
She and Shao Qingyuan came back from Yongfu Village, but they encountered Dali the next day, and they were delayed for a whole day, until today they were free. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
