Chapter 168: Xia He's Jealousy
Murong Yan sat in Liuli Garden for a while and talked with Mo Ruxue, Xia He and Aunt Zhang for a while.
When Xia He heard that Mo Ruxue had prepared a dowry for Murong Yan, her eyes were full of envy.
Mo Ruxue could tell at a glance, she said with a smile: "When you get married, you will be indispensable, haha!"
Xia He lowered his head, his eyes dimmed, and replied with a forced smile: "Slave... I have no plans to get married yet. I am willing to serve the princess for the rest of my life!"
"How can that be done? I can't waste your youth. You can continue to stay in the palace even after you get married." Mo Ruxue just thought that she was shy and didn't care too much.
Xia He was stunned. Once upon a time, she had indeed planned this for the future, but now... everything is out of her control!
"Forget about being a slave, Yan'er is getting married soon. I wonder what Mr. Ouyang's character is like. I met him last time and he seemed like a handsome young man."
Grandma Zhang's gossip spirit was suddenly aroused, and she quickly answered: "I heard that Ouyang Xun is a good hand in business and can be regarded as the richest man in our capital. He is also very clean and has no concubines in his room.
Yan'er marries him, which is considered a high achievement!"
Murong Yan curled her lips, who was so high on him? If he hadn't been stalking her, why wouldn't she have even bothered to marry him?
Xia He said softly: "So he is a businessman, so his family must be wealthy."
"I have studied and been a scholar! Later, I don't know why I didn't continue to take the exam. I heard that Mr. Ouyang is full of knowledge!" Aunt Zhang continued to reveal the news, and Xia He was completely stunned now.
She didn't expect that Murong Yan, a maid, could find such a good home. Being the mother-in-law of the Ouyang family didn't count. Master Ouyang also promised her that she would never take a concubine in her life!
All the little maids below looked at Murong Yan with envy. This was something they never dared to dream about.
Murong Yan waited for a long time and no one praised her. They all praised Ouyang Xun. She thought her conditions were also very good.
Mo Ruxue smiled and joked: "What's wrong? Why do you keep a straight face? Are you afraid that your husband is too good and will be taken away by others?"
"Actually, our Yan'er is also very good. You are beautiful and have excellent medical skills. Even Dr. Li from the Tai Hospital is full of praise for your medical skills!"
Oops, I finally have someone to praise myself for, Murong Yan smiled and showed her cute little tiger teeth.
Mo Ruxue stood up and clasped her fingers and said, "Aside from Yan'er's temper being a little bit worse than Ouyang Xun's, being a little more impulsive than Ouyang Xun when things happen, and acting a little wilder than Ouyang Xun, I really can't think of any shortcomings.
.”
Murong Yan's little face fell down, and she glared at Mo Ruxue with an irritated look. Is she so complimentary?
"The princess is bullying this slave again. This slave is now a bride to be married. Her heart is in a state of turmoil, so she can't comfort me?"
"Really? Since we haven't decided yet, how about we regret our marriage?"
Murong Yan: "..."
"Yan'er, please relax. It's not that you don't want to get married, right? From now on, you will just have the identity of Mrs. Ouyang. Prince Luo's Mansion will always open the door to you. If you are wronged, you can come back at any time."
Murong Yan was so moved that she didn't know what to say, so she kept nodding.
At this moment, Ouyang Xun sent someone to look for her. Murong Yan wiped the tears from her eyes and turned around to leave.
Xia He looked at the scene where the two of them were in deep love as master and servant, and was lost for a moment. He thought that he usually served with all his heart, so why was the treatment so different?
At dinner time, Xiao Yonghan ate with Mo Ruxue.
"Today is the Lantern Festival. There is a lantern festival and lantern riddles on the street. Do you want to go and see it?"
Mo Ruxue shook her head: "I don't want to go out. I'm too tired these past few days, and so many things happened in Mo Mansion. I really am not in the mood."
There is also Yan'er who is getting married, and she still feels a little reluctant to let her go, even though there is no difference between being married and not being married.
"Well, since you don't want to go out, just take a good rest at home. It will take two days for Zhujian to arrive at Fengcheng. I hope to find useful clues."
In a blink of an eye, it’s the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, and it’s time to build a tomb.
Mo Ruxue and Xiao Yonghan dressed solemnly and set out to Mo Mansion. There were cries in the mansion and the atmosphere was gloomy.
Mo Zifeng was dressed in mourning clothes and stood at the entrance of the mourning hall to greet the guests. When he saw the two of them coming, he bent down and saluted with his hands in hand.
"I would like to express my gratitude to His Highness King Luo for sacrificing his life to save me from last time. I will personally come to express my gratitude to His Highness someday!"
When Xiao Yonghan thought of her risking her life for Mo Zifeng, he felt uncomfortable: "I just can't bear to see the princess injured! Saving you was purely an accident."
Mo Zifeng froze on the spot, it turned out that he was just saved by him!
Mo Ruxue tugged on Xiao Yonghan's clothes and scolded softly: "What nonsense are you talking about! Zifeng, please ignore him. He hurt his brain while reviewing official documents last night and is a little confused."
Mo Zifeng actually didn't care about Xiao Yonghan's words, but seeing that Xiao Yonghan was so kind to his sister, it was too late for him to be happy!
"No matter what, your highness is my savior. Sister, you should be gentler to your highness in the future!"
Xiao Yonghan gave Mo Zifeng an appreciative look, then raised his eyebrows and looked at Mo Ruxue proudly.
Mo Ruxue really felt that she was not a human being inside and out, so she simply shut up.
In the mourning hall, Mrs. Mo was crying her heart out, and Mo Xu looked a lot haggard. Mo Ruxue had to go to Mrs. Mo's side to comfort her, even though it was just a pretense.
After Mo Xu and Xiao Yonghan greeted each other, Mo Xu waited for them to finish offering incense and pay homage, then invited Xiao Yonghan to the room next to him to say he had something to ask.
"Your Highness Prince Luo, I heard that the fire in Mo Mansion was deliberately set on fire by someone? Do you know who the arsonist is?"
"It's Bu Rong, the young master's servant."
Xiao Yonghan told him everything about Bu Rong and Mo Ziye poisoning Mo Zifeng. The only thing he didn't tell him was that Bu Rong was not actually dead. In this fire, he used the golden cicada to escape from his shell.
After listening to Xiao Yonghan's statement, Mo Xu sat there in shock, unable to recover for a long time.
"Ye'er, why did he do this? What good does it do him to kill each other?"
Obviously Mo Xu still doesn't believe this fact.
Xiao Yonghan: "I have received news in the past few days that many traps have appeared inexplicably on the mountain beside the Zhongmiao. Rocks have fallen and several hunters have died."
"I'm afraid he wants more than just Mo Zifeng's life!"
"What? Does he still want to kill Xue'er and me?" Mo Xu said in disbelief: "Why on earth is this..."
Xiao Yonghan looked at the darkness in the direction of the Mo Mansion's annex, with ruins and broken walls everywhere, and said thoughtfully: "Does General Mo think that he has an even bowl of water? As the legitimate son of the Mo Mansion, he is not taken seriously and is suppressed everywhere.
, it is inevitable that you will feel resentful.”
Mo Xu's haggard face was blank. Relatively speaking, he did prefer his younger son.
But he thought he was very tolerant of Mo Ziye. No matter how he behaved, he couldn't bring himself to drive him out.
"What a beast! It's better to die, it's better to die!" Mo Xu slammed the table. This scoundrel had such vicious thoughts, and the Mo Mansion would be clean if he died!
Xiao Yonghan saw what was going on and made it clear. He walked out of the house to find Mo Ruxue.
As a result, they searched the entire mourning hall but couldn't find her, and they couldn't find her in the entire Mo Mansion.
Mo Zifeng was busy greeting the guests and didn't even notice when Mo Ruxue disappeared.
