Chapter 17: A Letter of Entrustment
Mo'er sat on the side, seeing Feng Lin's face full of doubts, and there was a strange light beating in those clear and delicate eyes-because when she was in Dongfang Mansion, she used ecstasy and manipulated the memories of Feng Lin and the three secret guards.

She did this just to disrupt the other party's layout and surprise her with a move!
Feng Lin, who was originally in doubt, also opened his mouth at this time: "Grandmother, it's not difficult to imagine. Once the other party learns that the female assassin failed to assassinate Mo'er, they will definitely carry out a second assassination operation, and the best time for them to do it again is a family trial! β
The old lady seemed to be touched when she heard this, her face became solemn, and she gestured to Feng Lin: "You go on!" β
Feng Lin continued: "Why don't we just plan and let the other party mistakenly think that Mo'er was successfully assassinated and 'unconscious' in bed." And the real Mo'er can change her identity to participate in the clan trial without anyone knowing! β
"That's a good idea!" The old lady nodded in agreement, and a smile appeared on her face.
Feng Lin knew that the old lady approved of his idea, and not only said: "I am afraid that the other party who originally arranged a trial for Mo'er already knows about it, and my grandmother will have to make another arrangement." Moreover, my grandson also felt that it was best not to arrange this trial in the shop of our Qu firm. β
In this extraordinary period, their every move is magnified in each other's eyes, and they must be avoided.
"Do you have a suitable place?" The old lady asked.
Feng Lin nodded at first, and then said with some embarrassment: "Yes, but Sun Er is not completely sure that the place is safe and will not be discovered." β
The old lady pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "I have a good place here!" When the words fell, the old lady gave a look to Mama Xu, who had been standing on the side and had not made a sound.
Mama Xu comprehended, walked to the secret compartment where the old lady usually stored letters, took out a letter, and handed it to the old lady.
The old lady did not open the letter, but pinched it in her hand and said to the two of them: "I have two old friends who are about to go out recently, and they asked me to find someone to help them and their wife take care of the store. As she spoke, the old lady looked at Mo'er again, "Mo'er, your trial this time is to help my old friend take care of the shop and earn five hundred taels of silver." β
"Five hundred taels of silver!"
Mo'er and Feng Lin were stunned!
The duration of the clan trial of the city lord's wife is generally thirty days, and the clan patriarch and the elders agree on the trial task. Generally, the trial task that the prospective ladies take over is to negotiate a tricky list for the Qu clan within the time limit.
Therefore, the old lady only set a task for Mo'er to release water for a mere five hundred taels of silver, how could this not surprise Mo'er and Feng Lin!
The old lady couldn't see that Mo'er and Feng Lin underestimated this goal, and couldn't help but remind them: "It's a simple matter for you others to earn five hundred taels of silver, but my two old friends opened them not ordinary shops!" The old lady handed the letter to Mo'er, "You can read this letter first." β
Because there was only a mahogany table across her fingertips from the old lady, Mo'er could reach for the letter as long as she reached out. But she didn't, but in the surprised eyes of the old lady and Feng Lin, she got up and walked to the old lady, stretched out her hands and respectfully took the letter.
This action of hers represents the importance she attaches to this trial, and the old lady looks at it with a touch of appreciation.
After sitting down, Mo'er opened the envelope, took out the letter, and read it carefully.
Feng Lin found that the expression on Mo'er's beautiful face kept changing as she read the letterβsurprise, joy, excitement, admiration...... At this moment, his curiosity was provoked!
After a long time, Mo'er closed the letter, put it back in the envelope, and said to the old lady next to her: "It is really an honor for my granddaughter-in-law to take care of the shop for these two nobles. Grandmother, rest assured, Mo'er will live up to your trust. β
She said this without a clue, but the old lady understood the meaning.
The two old friends of the old lady are a pair of famous fairy relatives in the rivers and lakes, many years ago in the Red Moon Desert outside the Saiwai, the old lady took the two people who had not yet married out of the desert. It was also because of this life-saving feeling that they became friends. Her two friends' greatest hobby is to eat all over the world, and they are even more passionate about reviving dishes that have been lost for a long time.
When she knew that Mo'er and Qu Tianlin's eight-character pairing were the most compatible, Mrs. Tai sent someone to secretly investigate Mo'er. This little-known Miss Oriental is not satisfactory in terms of female popularity, but her cooking skills have to be praised by thumbs up. So when Feng Lin proposed to arrange another trial for Mo'er, the old lady was touched by this letter of entrustment.
The old lady showed a smile and a soft gaze: "Grandmother, I, don't worry about you!" β
Feng Lin, who was completely unaware of the situation, listened to the conversation between their "mother-in-law and daughter-in-law", as if listening to a mute speech, and the second monk was confused, but he didn't ask or interject, just quietly listened to the conversation between Mo'er and the old lady.
Sending Mo'er back to the Qilin Pavilion in the secret way, Feng Lin, who had been walking in front, finally spoke: "You are in a hurry to travel in disguise as a man this time, I'm afraid you don't have a few clothes to wear." When I go home today, I have already asked people to take a few clothes that have not been worn, and they have been changed according to your size, and you will wear them on the spot first, and then add them when you get to Yuexia Town. β
Mo'er didn't expect Feng Lin to be so considerate, not only thanked: "Thank you, second brother!" I'm worried about my clothes, don't you know, these clothes of yours are just in time for me! β
"If you think it's useful." His gentle voice was a little clearer, "Mo'er, can you tell me, why do you want Brother Lin to accompany you?" β
Although it shouldn't be, when Mo'er asked the old lady to let Qu Tianlin go with her, Feng Lin felt a little uncomfortable in his heart!
Especially when Mo'er was talking about the newlywed "honeymoon", he really didn't like it.
"Didn't I just say it, it's because of the newlywed honeymoon!" Mo'er used the excuse of fooling the old lady and continued to prevaricate him.
When she went out this time, she wanted to take Qu Tianlin with her, naturally for a purpose.
First, it is necessary to continue to practice ecstasy, and it is not possible to do without Qu Tianlin's eyes; As for the second, it is naturally convenient for her to carry out the "husband's transformation plan"!
This time Taoxiang's assassination let her know that Qu Tianlin before the poison hair was against this family business!
Originally, on the day when they spent candles in the cave room, if they didn't have the gift of husband and wife, with her style of doing things, she wouldn't be able to find an excuse to leave Qu Tianlin in the future. But now that the ceremony is complete, she has to make such a plan to win Qu Tianlin's heart.
But in ancient times, this was a great rebellion, and she couldn't expose it.
Back at Qilin Pavilion, Qu Tianlin, who knew that he was going out with Mo'er, was very happy, and not only urged Xuanlin to help him pack his luggage.
Mo'er was afraid that it would be inconvenient for them to bring too many things to travel, and that the clothes would be too gorgeous and eye-catching, so she suggested that Xuanlin only help Qu Tianlin pack a few plain and inconspicuous clothes.
It's just that to Mo'er's surprise, in the area of packing luggage, Xuanlin is even more conditioned than her, which saves Mo'er a lot of brain cells.
was going out the next day, and Mo'er took Qu Tianlin to rest early.
Xuanlin, who finally found an opportunity, felt that he still had to wake up his second brother, lest it drag on for a long time, and he would fall deeper and deeper.
So the two brothers went to the little pavilion.
Today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and the moon hanging in the dome is like a fishing boat, moored in the starry Milky Way.
Let people take two pots of chilled Western Regions wine, and the two brothers just drank while admiring the moon.
With Xuan Lin's character, he naturally won't beat around the bush with Feng Lin, "You and her are destined to have no fate." β
Feng Lin sighed: "I know." After speaking, he sullenly raised the luminous glass and took a sip of wine to the moon.
The first time Xuan Lin saw the second brother so melancholy, he couldn't help but feel distressed, but he still persuaded ruthlessly: "Since you know, second brother, you should take back the thoughts you shouldn't have."
"I will." Feng Lin lowered his eyelids and responded lightly.
At this moment, Xuan Lin didn't see the obscurity in his eyes when he said this......
