Chapter 161: Borrowing a Knife
"I'll help you keep your father in Zhuangzi, no matter how much you do, I can't do it."
Mo Xinqing did not ignore Xiao Zhou's family, and now her father Mo Guanjie is more important to her, so Mo Xinqing will secretly help, but it is impossible for Xiao Zhou's family to tear up his face with Mo Guanjie, regardless of a calculation Mo Guanjie.
After all, Mo Guanjie still has Ah Jiu and Lu Tianyang around him, and the ordinary full set of tricks can't hide from them.
Xiao Zhou's crying was broken, Mo Xinqing was not distressed, "I know you are unwilling, but you can't force your father to be with you...... Have you suffered enough? If that incident hadn't happened back then, how could you have been wronged and aggrieved to become a concubine? Mother, there is not only a father and a man in the world, you may not be able to find a better one. ”
"I just want to be with your father, why should I leave? How much better is Jiang than me? ”
Xiao Zhou cried and said, "No matter how many men there are, it's not your father, I will be entangled with him in this life, even if it's ...... Even if I take medicine again and be despised by him, I will return to the Mo family and draw a line between him and the Jiang family. ”
She has the intention of breaking the net, and would rather stir up everyone's misfortune.
Mo Xinqing hurriedly stopped Xiao Zhou, "Can you use medicine again, mother, have you forgotten what happened last time?" The doctor said that my father's physical condition is different from ordinary people, and he is more sensitive than others......
"If your father is a good man, I'll go with him."
"Mother!" "Qing'er doesn't need to persuade me, instead of living coldly, seeing that the Jiang family is proud, it is better to fight hard."
"It's different now than it was then, mother's ......" Mo Xinqing stretched out her hand and grabbed Xiao Zhou, "The reason why my father bowed his head back then was that my grandfather was strong." But now my father ...... My father is about to be promoted to the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and my grandfather has lost his grace and can only keep the title with trepidation, even if my father has something with you, my father does not admit it, who can you count on to call the shots for you? You have already taken the concubine book, and if you want to enter the door, Mrs. Jiang nodded. "Mother. How could Madame Jiang agree to let you in again? Father doesn't fight for you. The Jiang family is powerful again, you are pregnant overnight, and Mrs. Jiang can not recognize it. The opportunity to get from medication is completely different from your father's initiative to get close to and pity you. Even if you shout about the use of medicine, you don't take advantage of it, and your father will send you to the yamen, and others will not say that your father is ruthless and unjust. "Men can calculate. Control zhì, influence. But there must be no use of inferior means. ”
Mo Xinqing was really afraid that Xiao Zhou would be slept with by Mo Guanjie, and he still couldn't be recognized.
Xiao Zhou hesitated for a moment, Mo Xinqing's words moved her, she was so strong back then. She had a round with Mo Guanjie in advance, and Mo Guanjie still insisted on taking Xiao Zhou's Weina as a concubine of the Auxiliary Duke, and threw Xiao Zhou's family in the imperial capital for more than ten years.
"Mother. You are not willing to lose to Mrs. Jiang. ”
"I ...... I have a crush on your father. ”
"The time you spend with your father is only half a month, including those days. Dad never ...... after that I've never been close to you. ”
"Woo." Xiao Zhou cried and wiped his tears.
"Have you ever wondered if your father is not as perfect as you think? He is very cruel to you, and he can't take much care of me, and everything I get now is what I have earned, which one is what he gave me? Yes, he gave me a dowry and private money, but I don't lack these, and he is using these things to buy a peace of mind. ”
Mo Xinqing smiled bitterly: "You can give up on me with peace of mind, and think with peace of mind that you have done your father's duty, I have difficulties after I get married, it is a favor for him to help, and it is my duty not to help." Mother, my father is by no means a good person to us mother and daughter. ”
"If you continue to compare with Mrs. Jiang, you will only lose your dignity, dignity, decency, wealth, and reputation, and once you do something wrong, you may implicate me."
Mo Xinqing knelt in front of Xiao Zhou, "I am not the second sister, she is my father's original daughter-in-law, my father and Mrs. Jiang will forgive her after making a mistake, as long as you do a little wrong, our mother and daughter may fall into a situation of no return, Yan Guogong is noble, and her daughter has finally found a happiness for herself, and she doesn't want to lose." ”
“…… Qing'er. ”
"You have lived in Zhuangzi for two years, and even if I don't say something, you can understand some things."
"How can Qing'er meet...... ...... with the people of the rivers and lakes"
"I have no choice, mother, once this matter is known, it will be difficult for me to die, and I will marry the prince of Yanguo safely, I still have a chance to get rid of it, otherwise...... Mother, you beg me to help you, and my daughter begs you to have pity on your poor daughter. ”
Mo Xinqing knelt and climbed two steps, grabbed Xiao Zhou's skirt, raised her beautiful face, and pleaded with tears: "My daughter has a case, you will also be killed, mother, please dispel the idea of drugged, King Lu Yan has suffered a loss, he will see his father very tightly, you want to use medicine in front of the former commander of Beizhen Fusi, it's a dream." ”
Xiao Zhou slowly let go of his clenched lips, slowly raised his arm and landed on his daughter's emaciated shoulder, crying uncontrollably, "Qing'er, Qing'er." ”
Mo Xinqing approached her mother's arms at the right time, and the mother and daughter hugged and cried.
After sending Xiao Zhou to rest, Mo Xinqing took the tea cup to replenish water, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying, but fortunately, she persuaded Xiao Zhou, "Hey." ”
"Miss Eight rest assured, the slave maid is watching her personally."
Cui'er also knows the severity, "You stop her for her own good, even if you can't figure it out for a while, sooner or later, Aunt Zhou will understand your kindness." ”
"Why do I want to see a woman alone? When Cui'er saw her today, how could her father feel like he had a mother in his heart? Lu Tianyang didn't say a single superfluous word, but in front of him, who dared to use selfish means. ”
Mo Xinqing said enviously: "The most blessed of the sisters is the ninth sister, who charms Lu Tianyang, she doesn't have to anything, and there is the prince of Anguo...... I can't let go of the ninth sister, I can't see that I am pleasing him at all, if the ninth sister can take a more look at Mu Yanyu, he will be smiling all day long. ”
"The slave maid sees that the prince of Anguo is very good to you."
"Okay?"
Mo Xinqing shook his head, "I said ten sentences, it would be good if he could reply to me, I was talking to myself alone for a long time, and he didn't give me a little reaction." It's not that I am the daughter-in-law of the prince of Yan Guo, he doesn't even look at me. was hurt by the ninth sister, he still didn't change his mind, the ninth sister is much more powerful than me. It took me a lot of effort to charm the prince of Yan Guo...... His impression of the Ninth Sister is also very good, and at first I approached him in the name of the Ninth Sister. ”
"There is only one eighth lady in the prince of Yan Guo." Cui'er was busy comforting Mo Xinqing.
"That's it, I can't compare to the ninth sister."
Mo Xinqing didn't want to talk about these things anymore, "I just ask God to worship Buddha and pray that the ninth sister and father will leave soon." There are always people coming and going in the Zhuangzi. It is inevitable that flaws will be exposed. ”
Ah Jiu also wanted to leave as soon as possible, but the imperial doctor who was called by Mu Yanyu was like an old antique that could not be eaten, and he would not let Ah Jiu get out of bed and walk around. It is not said that her brain has been injured and her vitality has been greatly damaged, and she must recuperate, preferably for ten days and a half before moving around.
Although Mo Guanjie hid from Jiang, it was very hard. But the words of the imperial doctor made Mo Guanjie dare not be careless, and he had the orders of the imperial doctor. Mo Guanjie didn't let Ah Jiu move, even if Ah Jiu was jumping around, Mo Guanjie didn't let her move.
On the third day of living in Zhuangzi, there was a guest in Zhuangzi - Mo Xinlan.
She came to give Mo Xinqing a dowry on behalf of the Duke of Fuguo. This is also Mo Xinlan's initiative to visit Mo Xinqing.
Fu Guogong couldn't stop her, and then thought that Zhuangzi was some distance away from the imperial capital, and Mo Xinlan would never toss too fiercely. went to Zhuangzi to get together with the sisters, maybe Mo Xinlan could think of something.
Mo Xinqing saw Mo Xinlan, who was affectionate to her. There was a headache, so many things had happened, Mo Xinqing was most afraid of seeing Mo Xinlan, but Mo Xinlan's reason was high-sounding, she didn't dare to learn from Ah Jiu to break off her relationship with Mo Xinlan, and she couldn't drive Mo Xinlan out.
"I heard that my father and ninth sister are also here?"
Mo Xinlan blinked her big and bright eyes, "Rumors are flying all over the imperial capital, saying that the ninth sister was seriously injured by gangsters when she gave the eighth sister a dowry, and I was so worried in the imperial capital." ”
She asked tentatively, "I don't know where the gangsters came from?" It's really bold, on the edge of the imperial capital, you dare to attack the daughter of an important minister of the imperial court? ”
"Second sister, drink tea."
Mo Xinqing personally handed the teacup to Mo Xinlan, innocently pretending to be stupid, "The ninth sister looks good, and she can't see that she is injured." Isn't I preparing a dowry, my father asked the ninth sister to accompany me on the Zhuangzi and help me. ”
Mu Yanyu warned the imperial doctor and other insiders to keep their mouths shut, because they were too close to the imperial capital, the news would inevitably leak a little.
Mo Xinlan took a sip of tea, knowing that Ah Jiu would never see her again whether she was injured or not, and hurriedly rushed over from the imperial capital to inquire about the accurate news, Mo Xinlan also wanted to help King Huai and the crown prince, since King Huai exposed the fraud of the Criminal Department, the situation has become more and more difficult.
With the entry of King Zhao and King Qi into the Criminal Department to thoroughly investigate the fraud case, it is rumored that the crown prince is involved.
King Huai was so frightened that he could only recuperate in the palace, and Mo Xinlan didn't want to believe His Royal Highness the Prince...... She remembered that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was quite virtuous, would be involved in the criminal fraud case, and few people would notice Mo Xinlan, so she wanted to clear up the misunderstanding between their father and son for King Huai and His Royal Highness the Prince.
Mo Xinqing's mouth is very strict, and it is extremely difficult for Mo Xinlan to get words out of her mouth.
"The third brother is also on Zhuangzi?"
"Not only is the third brother here, but Mu Shizi and Senior Brother Lu are also accompanying their father. However, Senior Brother Mu does not live here, and there is also a Zhuangzi in the Anguo Mansion nearby, and he will come over every morning to ask his father for homework. ”
Mo Xinqing hopes to make Mo Xinlan retreat.
Pity...... She underestimated Mo Xinlan's determination to be the king.
King Huai can pay a qiē for Mo Xinlan, and Mo Xinlan naturally wants to repay King Huai.
The more difficult the situation, the more difficult Mo Xinlan helped King Huai to show her affection and righteousness, showing that she was willing to share weal and woe with King Huai and never give up.
"Eighth sister, would you like to take me to see the third brother?"
"Okay."
Mo Xinqing nodded and accompanied Mo Xinlan to find Mo Junyong.
"Is Auntie okay?" Mo Xinlan asked Xiao Zhou, "My aunt is too stubborn, and my grandfather doesn't care about her, why does she make her look like a widow?" The eighth sister is my aunt's flesh and blood, so you can persuade your aunt more. ”
Mo Xinlan's arrogant tone made Mo Xinqing a little dissatisfied, Mo Xinlan did many stupid things and still lived freely, but Mo Xinqing could only calculate carefully, for fear that if she took a wrong step, she would never recover.
Although Mo Xinlan may not be happy to be the concubine of the king, Mo Xinlan is quite hated.
"Why didn't I persuade my mother? It's a pity that my mother doesn't listen to me, the second sister is also close to my mother, my mother used to be better to my second sister than to me, why don't I help my second sister persuade my mother? ”
Mo Xinqing looked at Mo Xinlan with a pleading and humble gaze.
"After meeting the third brother, I'll go and see my aunt, after all, my aunt has raised me and the third brother for more than ten years."
"Thank you, second sister."
Mo Xinqing was so obedient that she took Mo Xinlan to Mo Junyong's room, and found an excuse to leave.
This was exactly what Mo Xinlan wanted, she closed the door tightly after Mo Xinqing left, and secretly asked Mo Junyong how she was injured? Have you ever seen a dead man who killed his mouth at that time?
Mo Junyong was very helpless about her sister-in-law, she couldn't avoid Mo Xinlan's entanglement, shook her head and said, "I haven't seen anything, I don't know anything, second sister, don't go looking for the ninth sister, and don't go to find your father." ”
"Third brother, I'm here to conceive His Royal Highness."
"If you stay in the imperial capital honestly for King Huai."
"The third brother looks down on me?"
"Have you ever done anything that I can afford?"
Mo Junyong shook his head helplessly, "Second sister, I say from the bottom of my heart, the most people in the world are mediocre people, you see that they don't understand anything, they don't participate in anything, and they live very well." ”
"I'm not a mediocre person, I was just careless before, but now I have been taught a lesson and understood a lot of truths, third brother, don't always look at me with the same eyes as before, don't you know that Shibei should be impressed in three days?"
“……”
Mo Junyong silently picked up the scroll and ignored Mo Xinlan anymore.
There are future nine brothers-in-law living on the left and right Zhuangzi, and Mo Xinlan will never toss too much.
*****
After sending Mo Xinlan to see Mo Junyong, Mo Xinqing did not go back to her house to do embroidery, but went to visit Xiao Zhou, who had been sick since that day.
She said two words in Xiao Zhou's ear, and Xiao Zhou's eyes immediately lit up, and her spirit was hundredfold, "Qing'er, you mean ......"
"Whether you can move her or not depends on you, if this can be done, it will be good for us no matter what."
"Hmm."
Xiao Zhou put on his clothes and went out.
Cui'er asked in wonder, "Aren't you afraid that the second miss will be self-defeating?" ”
"When did she ever succeed? I've been used again and again, she doesn't have a long memory, she jumps out when something happens, I just ask her to help. ”
"But Aunt Zhou ......"
"Now that I have seen through it, if I want my father to remember me and pull me at a critical time, I can't let my mother go back to the Mo family. Without me looking at it and persuading me, my mother can't fight Mrs. Jiang at all, how can I always pay attention to her after I marry into the Yanguo Mansion? ”
A trace of helplessness flashed in Mo Xinqing's eyes, "You also saw it, I just said two words, my mother is the same as the second sister, how dare I rest assured of her?" I'd rather raise my mother for the rest of my life, and see her lonely for the rest of my life, rather than let her spoil a big deal. ”
Mo Xinlan said that she couldn't move Mo Junyong, and went out disappointed, just in time to meet Xiao Zhou, who was waiting for her on the path.
