C425: How did Brother Nine Know about It
Seeing that nothing had happened, Mo Jiuye was relieved.
He stated the purpose of his visit this time.
"Brother Meng, I've come this time because I wanted to inquire about some things."
"Brother Jiu, please feel free to ask me anything." Meng Huaining had long regarded Mo Jiuye as one of his own family.
Especially after he was engaged to Mo Hanyue, he felt even closer to her few elder brothers.
"I heard that the Ninth Prince in the capital city colluded with the Gu Masters from the Southern Border to frame several important court ministers."
Meng Huaining was quite surprised that Mo Jiuye knew about this matter.
Based on his understanding of the Mo family, they had already lost confidence in the imperial court, and didn't even want to care about it at all.
"How did Brother Jiu come to know about this?" Meng Huaining was not trying to pry anything from Mo Jiuye, he was just simply asking.
Since his mother-in-law had come to accompany Lady Ran in the northwest for the impending childbirth, it was impossible for this to be a secret from Meng Huaining who was about to marry Mo Hanyue, so Mo Jiuye did not intend to conceal it either.
"It was because my mother-in-law came from the capital city and mentioned this matter a few days ago."
"I see." Meng Huaining glanced outside the door and saw no one approaching before saying in a low voice, "I also only received the news a few days ago. Indeed it is as Brother Jiu said, several important ministers have been poisoned by Gu."
"I heard that Emperor Shunwu has already sent people to look for Gu masters to undo the poison, may I ask if there has been any progress on this matter?" This was what Mo Jiuye cared about the most.
Since his mother-in-law came from the capital city, what she knew was the situation from at least twenty days ago. No one could say clearly what was happening now.
He knew that there were carrier pigeons transmitting letters between Meng Huaining and Fei Nanyu. Although pigeon speed was not as fast as his little white bird, they still had a travel time of three to four days.
That meant the news Meng Huaining received was from the last five or six days, which showed that Emperor Shunwu still had not found the Gu masters to undo the poison yet.
Mo Jiuye had told his family that he went out this time to purchase dowries for Mo Hanyue, so it was still a bit early to return now.
He simply took a stroll around the city before rushing back in the carriage in the afternoon.
After dinner, Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran together handed over the dowry gifts packed neatly in a small wooden box to Mo Hanyue.
"Hanyue, this is the dowry the family has prepared for you. Take a look and see if you like it," He Zhiran pushed the small wooden box in front of Mo Hanyue.
When Mo Hanyue saw the courtyard and land her family had given her, she felt somewhat guilty.
The present Mo family was no longer like when they were in the capital city. Participating in farm work every day made her truly understand that it was not easy for the family to earn money.
For her wedding, all family members had donated money to build her a courtyard residence as dowry. Even the furnishings and beddings inside were the best quality.
The specifications were no less than those of distinguished noble families in the capital city, but rather were of an even higher class.
"Sister-in-law, this really won't do. You all have given me more than enough. I cannot accept these anymore," Mo Hanyue sincerely spoke from her heart. She did not want her family to spend more money for her sake.
