Chapter 162: The Price
Xiao Zhou's pale and miserable face made Mo Xinlan's heart ripple a little, she thought of her former self, and her instinctive resentment towards Xiao Zhou's disappeared a lot.
Now that she has booked the position of Princess Huai, Xiao Zhou was kicked out by the Mo family, his father Mo Guanjie didn't pay attention to Xiao Zhou's at all, the situation is very different, Mo Xinlan spontaneously combusted the strong to pity the weak, even if Mo Xinqing married the prince of Yan Guo, he could not be compared with Mo Xinlan.
After Mo Xinqing gets married, Xiao Zhou's will be even more pitiful.
"Auntie." "Sister Lan."
Xiao Zhou's tears hung on his long eyelashes, and he was a little relieved in his heart, Mo Xinlan was willing to talk to him, but Xiao Zhou was afraid that Mo Xinlan would not see him.
She tugged Mo Xinlan's arm, "I haven't seen Sister Lan for a long time, how are you doing lately?" Your father...... I still love you very much, Sister Lan, don't blame your father, maybe the people around him said something, one day he will know that you are a filial daughter. ”
"I've long forgotten what happened before."
Mo Xinlan grabbed Xiao Zhou and sent her to the house, "How can the father and daughter have an overnight feud, if there is no father, how can I get it?" I never complained about my father, I only hated villains, and the misunderstanding between me and my father will always be solved. Aunt Ke...... You should want to open some, and don't always go back to the Zhuangzi Mansion often, your grandfather and aunts have always been thinking about you. ”
In the past, when Xiao Zhou's family was in power, she had a good relationship with her sisters-in-law, but later Xiao Zhou's left the Mo family, and she became estranged from her sisters-in-law.
"It's not that I don't go back to see my parents and sisters-in-law, it's that every time they talk about me remarrying."
Xiao Zhou's became more and more affectionate to Mo Xinlan, sitting with her and whispering, they had almost the same goal, and complained a lot about Jiang.
The intimacy between them was not hidden from Lu Tianyang. It should be said that it is difficult to hide the incident that happened in Zhuangzi, and even he knows all of Mo Xinqing's hole cards better than Mu Yanyu.
"Keep an eye on them."
"Yes."
Lu Tianyang chuckled twice, turned around and took a few books from the attendant's hand, and walked to find Mo Guanjie, using the master's things to please his future father-in-law, he did it without pressure.
Xiao Zhou begged Mo Xinlan, "You can help me." In any case, I want to talk to Hou Ye one last time. If not, I'll die. ”
"But...... But ......" Mo Xinlan hesitated for a while, "decoction...... What if it's a tonic that doesn't hurt my father? ”
"No, it won't. Sister Lan can try it herself first, I just want to make him a bowl of soup and medicine. But what I sent, your father won't use anymore. ...... year I didn't mean to hurt him, but I just obeyed my parents' orders. Hou Ye has lost a lot of weight recently. I look really distressed, and Sister Fang Zilan, who is the tonic, also knows it...... Or did your biological mother improve it. The meaning to Hou Ye is different. Hou Ye will definitely be able to think of the eldest sister. ”
Mo Xinlan heard that it was a medicinal diet tonic improved by her mother, and agreed to most of it, and Mo Guanjie became better and better to Jiang, and became more and more considerate. Mo Xinlan's grievances for her biological mother were gradually provoked, and she didn't ask Mo Guanjie to have only her biological mother in her heart, not her stepmother Jiang. But Mo Guanjie can't forget his wife completely.
"I personally accompanied my aunt to the kitchen."
"Okay."
Xiao Zhou agreed without hesitation, and followed Mo Xinlan to mention his sister Da Zhou. Mo Xinlan has never met her biological mother, but she has a very good impression of her biological mother. Xiao Zhou's favored it, praised his sister Da Zhou's in the sky, but not on the earth, and said that Mo Guanjie was more considerate to Da Zhou's back then.
Mo Xinlan thinks more and more that her father should remember her biological mother again, not to compete for the high and low, not to compete for favor with the Jiang family, she only asks her father Mo Guanjie to remember the good wife who has done a lot for him.
If Mrs. Jiang doesn't have this tolerance, how can she be her father's stepwife.
She looked at Xiao Zhou's supplements, her eyes were deep, if she was pregnant with the king...... Do you still remember the former princess Huai...... Remembering is what it should be, Mo Xinlan suppressed the strangeness, thinking that if Wang Huai forgot to make a wife, how sincere could she be to herself?
Is it that when she is old and decrepit, King Huai will pity younger and more beautiful women out of love?
Mo Xinlan is confident that she will be the best virtuous helper of King Huai, she can help King Huai a lot, and share weal and woe with King Huai, thinking that King Huai will pay more and more attention to herself.
"I heard Brother Yong'er say that the emperor will marry you and His Royal Highness King Huai?"
"Hmm."
Mo Xinlan nodded shyly and said softly: "His Royal Highness King Huai has a deep affection for me, he has always taken my affairs to heart, running around for me, and even did not hesitate to enter the palace to ask His Majesty for a favor, I am very grateful to him, it is difficult for someone else in the world to be so good to me." I know that it is not easy for my step-concubine, and my aunt is also wronged for me, but His Royal Highness King Huai treats me differently, and I will do better than my mother. “
Xiao Zhou smiled, "You are soft-hearted than Madame, and you must do better than Madame." However, I remind Sister Lan that when facing the children of His Royal Highness King Huai, Sister Lan should be careful, I heard that His Royal Highness King Huai's son is quite naughty. ”
"It doesn't matter, as long as I treat him as my own son, he will treat me like a mother."
"Well said." Xiao Zhou's mouth hooked slightly, lowered her eyelids and looked at the heat of the tonic, Mo Xinlan naturally couldn't see the mockery flashing in her eyes.
Xiao Zhou's is good enough for Mo Junyong, but Mo Junyong has always had his biological mother in his heart, after Jiang and Mo Guanjie returned to Beijing, Mo Junyong gradually distanced himself from Xiao Zhou, it is true that Xiao Zhou's has not done some things well enough, but Mo Junyong now only treats Xiao Zhou as an aunt, and has never mentioned Xiao Zhou's in front of Mo Guanjie, which makes Xiao Zhou's very sad.
also understands that it is not his own biological one, and it is useless to treat him no matter how good he is.
Even if Xiao Zhou's biological daughter Mo Xinqing ...... Don't you have your own little abacus now? In the face of his own pleas, Mo Xinqing politely rejected his biological mother's request.
At first glance, Xiao Zhou's thought that Mo Xinqing was quite reasonable, but when he went back and thought about it carefully, his heart was sad, his daughter Mo Xinqing was very selfish, and she valued herself more, and she refused to help because she was afraid that Xiao Zhou's would annoy Mo Guanjie and Jiang and then affect her.
Later, I gave Xiao Zhou's ideas, but I was afraid that it might not necessarily be for Xiao Zhou's.
At this time, Xiao Zhou's sympathy for Mo Xinlan was a little, but sympathy was sympathy, and she would not remind Mo Xinlan anyway.
"That's it?"
"Yes."
Xiao Zhou poured the tonic into the soup bowl and handed it to Mo Xinlan: "Try it." ”
Mo Xinlan never left Xiao Zhou's line of sight from beginning to end. Mo Xinlan has also checked the ingredients used, most of them are ordinary and common ingredients, and there are nothing too special, under her strict precautions, it is unlikely that Xiao Zhou's will do anything.
Using a spoon to scoop out some supplements, Mo Xinlan slowly put them in her mouth and tasted them carefully. "It's delicious."
She tasted nothing but sweetness. I didn't taste anything weird, and after swallowing the supplement, I didn't feel anything wrong with it. With a clear mind, Mo Xinlan completely relieved her heart, personally put the white jade cup on the nursery, and properly covered it.
"I'll send it to my father."
"I can make another bowl of tonic for Master Hou. Let Hou Ye think of his sister and remember me...... I don't have any regrets. ”
Xiao Zhou never touched the white jade cup again. Just told Mo Xinlan to be careful not to drop the supplement.
Mo Xinlan held the tray and took a path to meet Mo Guanjie.
After Xiao Zhou saw that her figure had completely disappeared, he immediately turned around and returned to his room, and the maids had already prepared the bath water. Xiao Zhou took out a handful of spices and threw them into the warm book, took off his shirt and stepped in, "Send a message to Sister Qing'er......"
"Wait."
Xiao Zhou changed his mind. Mo Xinqing can't be allowed to ruin the opportunity that he has so hard to get.
*****
Xiao Zhou forgot that it was Mo Xinqing who was the master of the Zhuangzi. The servants all listened to Miss Eight's orders.
Before Mo Xinlan went out with the tray, Mo Xinqing got the news.
Mo Xinqing, who was ready to go, immediately went out and found Mo Guanjie who was reading with the scroll sent by Lu Tianyang before Mo Xinlan.
Mo Guanjie looked happy, holding the scroll like holding a treasure, whenever he read the excitement, Mo Guanjie exclaimed, "Okay, well written." ”
He was immersed in the book and obsessed with it, putting aside his worries.
"Father's ......"
Mo Xinqing pushed the door and walked in, and seeing that Mo Guanjie didn't react, he called twice in succession, "Father!" ”
Mo Guanjie looked away from the scroll, "Sister Qing'er, something?" ”
Except for Ah Jiu, Mo Guanjie rarely gets alone with the rest of his daughters, let alone has academic discussions with them.
When giving the dowry silver to Mo Xinqing, Mo Guanjie finished talking to her, and he didn't think he had anything to say to Mo Xinqing.
Mo Xinqing hesitated, "There is something...... My daughter didn't know whether to say it or not. ”
Mo Guanjie put the scroll aside and said, "It's up to you whether to say it or not, Sister Qing, if you have any difficulties, talk to me." ”
"It's not my business." Mo Xinqing first expressed her attitude, "Father, you have given me enough, and my daughter is only grateful for your love, and it is precisely because I am grateful to you that I want to be filial to you...... I don't know what to do, and I'm afraid that my father won't believe me, after all...... It's about the second sister. ”
When Mo Guanjie heard what was going on about Mo Xinlan, he just wanted to plug his ears at the moment, "Sister Lan hasn't left yet?" ”
He knew that Mo Xinlan came to give Mo Xinqing a dowry, and he also heard Lu Tianyang mention it, Mo Xinlan had found Mo Junyong, he didn't expect that after being rejected by Mo Junyong, Mo Xinlan still stayed on Zhuangzi, and Mo Guanjie didn't know the details of Ah Jiu's distress on the road, how could Ah Jiu sue Mo Xinlan?
"The second sister talked to my aunt for a while, and I just persuaded my aunt to find someone else, but because of the second sister's words, my aunt ...... to my father Once again, hope is raised. ”
Mo Xinqing smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid that in my aunt's eyes, I'm not as good as my second sister as my biological daughter." ”
"Your mother will understand you." Mo Guanjie's face showed a hint of emotion, Mo Xinqing has always been very sensible, "I'll see Sister Lan in a while and urge her to go back to the Fuguo Mansion as soon as possible." ”
Mo Xinqing wiped the corners of her eyes and bit her lip in distress, "It's you on one side, and my aunt on the other, don't I want my aunt to be happy?" But you only have your mother in your heart, and you don't have the place of your aunt, and you forcibly get your aunt to your side, not to mention the means of damage, and the harm is so bad that in addition to you and your mother, your aunt will not get any benefits, and the pain will be three people. ”
Mo Guanjie nodded with satisfaction for Mo Xinqing's words.
"If my aunt listens to the encouragement of the second sister, she will make a ...... In the past, my daughter didn't have the face to see you. ”
“…… It shouldn't be, Sister Lan has been taught a lesson, she won't be ...... Don't do anything wrong again. ”
Mo Guanjie wanted to believe Mo Xinlan, but the pain of blindness a few days ago has never completely disappeared, and the imperial doctor also said that God blesses him to restore his light, and no one can figure out whether he will be allergic to the rest of the drugs with a sensitive and special physique.
Can Mo Xinlan knowingly make a mistake again?
"My daughter begs you, if the second sister gives you a decoction or something to tonify, can you give it to your daughter first?"
Mo Xinqing said with tears in her eyes: "I didn't mean to let you misunderstand the second sister, the second sister definitely has no bad intentions towards her father, but my father's physical condition is special, I am really afraid that my father will have problems eating ordinary things again, it is better to use it for me, the second sister has no mind, everyone is happy, in case ...... I'm in good health and can get through it. ”
"No way!" Mo Guanjie shook his head, how could he let Mo Xinqing act as an experiment?
"Father, when I say this, I can't help the second sister, you and I don't need the second sister's supplements, once I speculate on the second sister with the heart of a villain, won't it chill the second sister's heart? She's going to be more distant from you, and that's not what I want to see. ”
Mo Guanjie was once again moved by Mo Xinlan's daughter who was sensible, reasonable, and willing to sacrifice thoughtfulness.
At the base of the wall, Lu Tianyang grabbed Ah Jiu and shook his head to let Ah Jiu continue to watch.
Ah Jiu moved his lips silently, Mo Xinqing is really a good daughter of the empire, Lu Tianyang saw Ah Jiu's ridicule, reached out and rubbed the broken hair on her forehead, don't worry, with me, no one can snatch your things.
Ah Jiu pouted, if it was a father's love that was won by calculation and snatching, she was not uncommon.
"Father."
Mo Xinlan arrived with supplements, and when she saw Mo Xinqing standing in the room, she smiled and said, "Eighth sister is also there?" ”
Mo Xinqing nodded with red eyes, "Second sister." ”
"What's going on? Who bullied Eighth Sister? ”
"Nope."
Mo Xinqing lowered her cheeks embarrassedly, "It's just a little reluctant to father." ”
"Sister Lan, don't be ashamed of your sister." When Mo Guanjie saw the tonic in Mo Xinlan's hand, his heart couldn't help but sink, and he favored Mo Xinqing.
Mo Xinlan put the white jade cup in front of Mo Guanjie, "Try it, is it appetizing?" ”
Mo Guanjie asked; "Sister Lan did it?"
"You'll know who made it." Mo Xinlan blinked playfully, seeing Mo Guanjie's hesitation, Mo Xinlan's face became a lot uglier, "You don't believe me?" Daddy was just an accident last time......"
Mo Guanjie replied thoughtfully: "It's not that I don't worry about you, Sister Lan, I know your filial piety, I just used dim sum, and I will use the tonic later." “
"You still believe me?" Mo Xinlan sneered, her eyes full of sadness and disappointment, "Did the ninth sister say something to you again?" ”
"Second sister, it just so happens that I'm hungry, why don't you give me this cup of supplements."
Mo Xinqing didn't wait for Mo Xinlan and Mo Guanjie to nod, and directly picked up the white jade cup, regardless of whether it was hot or not, Mo Xinqing drank it with soup and water......
"Sister Qing."
Mo Guanjie wanted to stop it too late, so he put his arm downcast, "Ah Jiu never said anything bad about you in front of me, Sister Lan, it's not that I think you will harm me, but I don't believe that you are not used by others, think about it, how much of what you do comes from your original intention?" ”
"I just want to be filial to you today."
Mo Xinlan was stimulated by Mo Guanjie's distrust, snatched the white jade cup, and drank the rest into her stomach, "I'll try it myself...... It's okay anyway. ”
"Sister Lan, your face ...... Your face ......"
Mo Guanjie said bitterly: "Little bamboo, go and call the doctor to treat Sister Lan and Sister Qing'er." ”
ps calculates that others have to pay a price, Mo Xinlan is too stupid, what about Mo Xinqing, the agency is too smart, but he mistook Qingqing's life. (To be continued) R580
