Chapter 137: The Lost Daughter of the Minister of Works

A new day has begun, the sun shines across the court, and the atmosphere today seems a little unusual.

Nan Rongxi sat on a chair behind the court, with a pile of thick books beside him. These were all high-quality novels carefully selected by Wenguang Pavilion, and each of them exuded the fragrance of ink. In addition, there were various delicious snacks carefully made by the imperial chef, which made people salivate.

As the bell rang, all the officials walked into the court one by one. They were dressed in court robes, walked steadily, and looked serious. Among this group of people, Da Congming and Youyue were particularly eye-catching. They stood at the front of the officials, facing everyone.

At this time, Murong Bo, the Minister of Works, stepped forward, bowed to the Regent Nan Rongxi, and said respectfully: "Regent, the Wenguang Pavilion has been repaired, but 50,000 taels of silver are still needed to pay the workers."

Da Congming nodded slightly to show that he understood, then nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's very good!" His voice was loud and echoed throughout the court.

"In addition, we need to allocate another 10,000 taels of silver for subsequent maintenance expenses!"

Youyue nodded slightly to show her approval, "That's great!"

At the same time, Nan Rongxi started a new day of eating melons: [Tongzi, Tongzi, a new day has come, and naturally there are brand new big melons waiting for this empress to taste! Come quickly, let this young master taste this fresh and delicious big melon! ]

Upon hearing this, the system immediately responded: [Okay, Xizi, today I will present to you the exclusive news about Murong Bo, the Minister of Industry! ]

As soon as the words fell, Nan Rongxi couldn't wait to urge: [Tongzi, start the show quickly, I can't wait to enjoy your wonderful performance! ]

For a moment, all the ministers in the court pricked up their ears, waiting for the next words.

The system continued to speak slowly: [Murong Bo, as the Minister of Industry, has a difficult past in his life - his beloved daughter was lost when she was young.

Over the years, he never gave up looking for his lost daughter. His persistence and tenacity were known to everyone in the court.

There is a secret room in Murong Bo's mansion. The walls are covered with various clues and maps, which he carefully collected in order to find his daughter.

After retiring from court, he would enter the secret room alone and carefully study every clue, hoping to find some clue about his daughter.

As the Minister of Works, Murong Bo has abundant resources and connections. He uses these advantages and spares no effort to find the whereabouts of his daughter.

He sent out his talented men to gather information everywhere, and even offered a large reward to find the person. Whenever someone provided a possible clue, he would go to check it out in person. Although he returned disappointed every time, he never gave up.

After hearing about this, all the civil and military officials in the court expressed deep sympathy for Murong Bo and lamented his difficult situation.

Nan Rongxi, who had been standing aside in silence for a long time, finally couldn't help but ask: "Tongzi! After so many years of persistent pursuit, have you achieved any results? Have you successfully found your long-lost daughter?"

Hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Murong Bo, waiting for the moment when the answer would be revealed...

System: [Over the years, Murong Bo's search has been full of hardships and difficulties. Not only does he have to face misunderstandings and pressure from the outside world, he also has to endure inner torment and pain.

However, he always believed that his daughter was still alive and waiting for his rescue somewhere, and this belief supported him through one difficult day and night after another.

As time goes by, Murong Bo's search continues. His steps never stop, and his calling never ceases. Just a while ago, he successfully found his daughter! 】

When all the officials heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief and felt very lucky for him.

However, Nan Rongxi asked in confusion: [Tongzi, God will not let down those who work hard. Isn’t it good that things have developed to this point? How did it become a big melon? ]

The system quickly explained: [Don't worry, listen to me. Although his daughter agreed to go back to live, she made a rather strange request - to bring one of her best friends to live with her in the mansion.]

After saying that, it looked at Nan Rongxi quietly, as if waiting for his reaction.

When the officials heard this, confusion appeared on their faces and they began to discuss among themselves.

Nan Rongxi was filled with anxiety and confusion, and couldn't wait to ask: "Tongzi, please tell me in detail, what is going on?"

The system replied helplessly: [The thing is, his daughter and her best friend have a deep friendship, and the two want to live together. Murong Bo has been looking for his daughter for a long time, and faced with such a trivial request, he naturally agreed without hesitation. However, who could have expected that the good times did not last too long. Since they lived together, his daughter, her best friend, and his wife have been arguing all day long! ]

After hearing this, many officials present were still confused. They really couldn’t understand how this matter had become such a big melon?

Nan Rongxi was also full of doubts and asked: [Tongzi, a quarrel between family members is a very common thing. Could it be that something earth-shattering happened afterwards? ]

The system quickly responded: [Of course, later on, Murong Bo's wife felt something was wrong the more she thought about it. So she called her husband and their daughter together and decided to do a blood test to identify their paternity. But who would have thought that the result of this paternity test would surprise everyone - the blood of the three of them was not compatible at all! ]

【Murong Bo was shocked when he saw the result. He was completely stunned and completely closed himself off. However, at the same time, Murong Bo's son was ecstatic. It turned out that after spending a long time together, he had already developed a secret crush on the girl and couldn't help falling in love with her. Now that he unexpectedly discovered that he and her were not related by blood, he was overjoyed and even asked his father to marry the girl without hesitation.】

All the officials were shocked, their mouths wide open in disbelief: Oh my god, there is such a thing, it's awesome!

Murong Bo on the side sighed and shook his head: Oh, don’t say anymore, poor me!

At this time, Nan Rongxi secretly laughed in her heart: [Awesome, but Murong Bo’s wife will definitely not agree. If I marry her, won’t we quarrel every day! ]

At this time, the system's voice suddenly sounded: [Yes, Murong Bo's biological wife is indeed strongly opposed to this marriage, and their family has argued about it many times. However, do you know? There is a bigger melon in this! ]

The system's words immediately perked up everyone.
