Chapter 346

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.

Although Minister He was known for being honest in his official duties, he was also an official who held real power.

Given the Ninth Prince\'s reclusive personality, even if he doted on his daughter, he wouldn\'t stoop to asking the Emperor to help marry the Jade Princess off to such an influential aristocratic family.

This easily made people suspect he was courting the important ministers at court.

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

Now that Mo Jiuye had suddenly come to the capital with the Ninth Prince Estate as his target as well, Fei Nanyu had to think more deeply about this.

"Master Mo, would it be possible for you to tell me why you\'re inquiring about the Ninth Prince\'s matters?"

Mo Jiuye had already anticipated that with Fei Nanyu\'s meticulous personality, he would definitely ask about the reason.

He was very clear about Fei Nanyu\'s identity. There was no conflict of interest between them, at most just some sentiment of gratitude.

What\'s more, Mo Jiuye felt that telling him his purpose would not negatively impact Fei Nanyu in the slightest in the future, and might even serve to give him an early warning.

Therefore, Mo Jiuye did not intend to conceal anything.

"I won\'t hide it from Mr. Fei. My Mo family was plotted against by a man named Simeng from Southern Borderlands, leading to our decline to our current state.

Not long ago in Yuncheng I discovered two suspicious people. After capturing them and interrogating them, they said this Mr. Simeng was in the capital city. Therefore, I secretly came to the capital wanting to find out the whereabouts of this enemy.

Based on some clues, I can confirm that this Mr. Simeng is currently within the Ninth Prince Estate."

The name Simeng was very unfamiliar to Fei Nanyu.

But he had never had a good impression towards people from the Southern Borderlands to begin with. Hearing that Mr. Simeng was from the Southern Borderlands, and was even the main culprit behind harming the Mo family, he quickly determined that this Simeng must not be simple.

Although his true identity had not yet been revealed, in Fei Nanyu\'s heart, this Great Shun\'s rivers and mountains would sooner or later be his. He could not allow such a dangerous figure to remain in the capital city.

What\'s more, this person was able to hide in the Ninth Prince Estate. This showed that the Ninth Prince was also not as simple as he seemed on the surface.

If the Ninth Prince really harbored ulterior motives, he could make good use of Nan Qi\'s hand to eliminate him.

"Master Mo\'s meaning is that you hope I can find a way to sneak you into the prince\'s estate on his birthday celebration day?"

Dealing with smart people was less trouble. Mo Jiuye nodded. "That is my intention."

Fei Nanyu did not ask about Mo Jiuye\'s specific plan, because he believed that with Mo Jiuye\'s capabilities, hiding within the Ninth Prince Estate to search for someone would be extremely easy.

When the time came, he could also secretly do something.

"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.
