Chapter 170: The Dove and the Sparrow
"Is what you said true, as long as I obediently return to the Mo family, you will be able to marry me soon, and you won't let me be angry with their mother and daughter in the Mo family?" Mo Simin stood under the cloister, looking at the prince with burning eyes.
The prince said with a firm expression: "Really, I've known you for so long, when have I ever deceived you?" I say it's true, it's true. β
Mo Simin's heart loosened slightly.
She couldn't believe it, but she had to believe it.
At this time, half a month has passed since she fell out with Mo Qiyan and ran away from home, and in the past half a month, she has been living in Feng Yunlong's mansion, for such a long time, even if the master has never complained to her for half a word, she herself feels embarrassed, after all, she is now at best just a friend of the prince.
"I believe you this time." Mo Simin weighed for a moment, but still chose to nod, "I'll go back to Mo's house today." β
The crown prince looked overjoyed, and took Mo Simin's hand: "Simin, if you give me some time, I swear that I will soon be able to convince my father and the emperor, and then I will give you the grandest wedding, so that you will be beautiful in the capital for the rest of your life." β
Mo Simin was amused by his somewhat silly appearance, and thought to himself, is the person trapped in love in front of him really the prince who was not compatible with him at the beginning?
No wonder the ancients said that feelings will make people change, and it turned out to be true.
"You don't need the scenery," Mo Simin said with a smile, "as long as you can abide by your agreement, you can really come to the Mo family to marry me." β
Mo Simin said, and turned back to his room.
Although she came to the palace empty-handed, she later bought herself a lot of dresses for various reasons, and now that she wants to leave, she naturally has to bring all her things.
The prince was happy in his heart, and helped her pack up her things regardless of the eyes of his subordinates, and then the two of them went to the study together to see Feng Yunlong, and only left the palace after saying hello.
"I'll send you back." The prince took the initiative to take over the burden from Mo Simin's hands and took the initiative to propose.
As a result, the other party refused without hesitation.
"Why?" The crown prince expressed serious dissatisfaction with this, "I can be regarded as your fiancΓ© now, shouldn't I send you home?" β
He said it straightforwardly, but Mo Simin was very embarrassed, and even his cheeks were stained with a little crimson because of this: "I haven't passed the door yet, and the engagement is not a sure thing, it doesn't affect you to go back with me." β
Mo Simin paused, as if he was afraid that the prince would feel uncomfortable, and hurriedly explained: "It's mainly because of the daughter in my family who is with her, I don't want them to catch any of my handles." β
As soon as these words came out, the prince had to compromise.
Mo Simin will have to live in the Mo family for a period of time in the future, and when the time comes, she and the embroidery mother and daughter will not look up and look down, and it is really not good to leave them a handle.
In desperation, the prince had no choice but to nod: "Okay, I won't send you, but I don't worry about you going back alone." β
Mo Simin has a simple temperament, and is direct, without any twists and turns, and the prince is really worried that she will be deliberately embarrassed when she goes home by herself.
"I didn't think I'd go back on my own." Mo Simin smiled and blinked her eyes and said, "I plan to let Xia Bai go home with me, so that if there is anything, she can also help me a little." β
The prince is finally relieved.
After all, An Xiabai is not like Mo Simin, she has always acted in a measured manner, not at all like Mo Simin, who may do what she wants.
"Then you go." The prince let go of his mouth and let go of his hand.
Mo Simin replied softly, and then got into the carriage specially arranged by the palace.
"Let's go to General Lu's Mansion first." Mo Simin reported the address of An Xiabai's house to the coachman, and not long after, the carriage stopped in front of the gate of the Lu family.
At the same time, An Xia Bai was just about to go out.
"Who?" An Xiabai raised his eyes to look at the unfamiliar luxury carriage, and was wondering whose carriage was driving, when Mo Simin suddenly poked his head out of the carriage: "Xia Bai, it's me." β
An Xiabai's eyes lit up, and she immediately took Mo Simin's hand and walked into the house.
As a result, Mo Simin refused to go in.
"What's wrong?" An Xiabai looked back and asked.
Mo Simin lowered his face and felt a little embarrassed: "I came here today, in addition to congratulating Lu Li on going home safely, there is one more thing I want you to help with." β
It turned out that she was so worried because she had something to ask for.
An Xiabai was amused by Mo Simin's cramped and uneasy appearance: "What kind of friendship between the two of us, let alone one thing, is ten hundred things, but whatever I can do, I will definitely do it, you don't have to be polite to me." β
Mo Simin raised his eyes, and there was still a cramped smile on the corner of his lips: "It's not that I'm afraid that you won't help me, but mainly because I feel that you and Lu Li have been reunited for a long time, and I feel a little embarrassed to come to ask you like this." β
The smile on the corner of An Xia's white lips deepened when she said something: "What should I do, it turns out that you are embarrassed because of this." It's okay, even if you didn't come over today, I didn't plan to stay at home, although I haven't seen the general for a few days, I really should catch up, but the coming day is long, isn't it? If you have something to say, it's good to say it slowly later. β
Her open-minded attitude made Mo Simin sigh: "Since you don't mind yourself, then I won't twist, that's the case, I plan to go back to Mo's house today, and I'm embarrassed to go back by myself, so I want to ask you for a favor and come with me." β
Before the words fell, Mo Simin, who had always been cheerful, couldn't help but sigh.
She was so sad in her heart.
The Mo family was originally his own home, and the exchange should have been unrestrained, but since his father took the embroidered mother and daughter bar to the house, there seems to be no place for her there.
Her sadness and loss all fell in An Xiabai's eyes, An Xiabai stepped forward and gently patted her on the back: "It just so happens that I have nothing to do today, so I thought I was going to see Master Mo." β
The two men looked at each other and smiled, and then got into the carriage together.
I thought that I would be able to see Mo Qiyan for the first time after returning home, instead of the embarrassing embroidery girl, but it turned out to be the opposite.
Mo Qiyan is not at home.
"It's rare for you to come back," the embroidery lady walked all the way, with a gentle smile on her face, "I'll tell my subordinates to make some pastries that you like to eat." β
She approached quickly, her eyes wandering on An Xiabai and Mo Simin.
Of course she recognized Mo Simin, on the first day of entering the mansion, Mo Simin gave her a horse in front of Mo Qiyan, and she finally rebelled against her, which was not impressive.
And An Xiabai is something she has never seen before.
Seeing that she was dressed like a subordinate, the embroidery girl immediately had the idea of inquiring: "Dare to ask who this girl is?" β
Out of politeness, An Xiabai originally wanted to report her name and surname, but before she could say anything, she was grabbed by Mo Simin's wrist, meaning that she should not report her name.
Because she didn't know what she was thinking, she simply didn't say anything.
"This is my friend, you don't need to know her name." Mo Simin raised his chin and gave the embroidery girl a provocative look.
In the eyes of the embroiderer, she is like a cat with teeth and claws, but no combat effectiveness.
The more you can't hold your breath, the easier it is to lose, and the embroidery lady knows this well.
From beginning to end, she always had a gentle, spring-breezy smile on her face, and the eyes that looked at Mo Simin were the eyes of the elders who couldn't understand the younger ones.
"Simin, you're messing around again, the girl you brought back is naturally a guest of our family, according to the rules, I should treat you well, how can you not say your name." The embroidered girl said angrily, "Dare to ask the girl's name?" β
An Xiabai thought that this was someone else's territory, even if she didn't have a good impression of Xiuniang because of Mo Simin, she should respect Mo Qiyan's face, so she decisively reported her name.
"It turned out to be Mrs. Lu." The embroidery girl's eyes lit up.
An Xiabai's name, of course she had heard of it, the Qinglou where she was before was the most popular place in the whole capital, when she was performing in the Qinglou, she heard the nobles in the capital mention An Xiabai's name more than once, and she wanted to make friends with An Xiabai for a long time, but she had no chance.
Now that the opportunity is in front of her, of course she wants to seize it, so she smiled and went to pull An Xiabai's hand.
Before her fingertips touched anyone, she was slapped by Mo Simin.
The embroidery lady held her red hand, and tears flashed in her eyes: "Simin, what do you mean by this?" β
"On the surface, your hands are too dirty for you to touch her." Mo Simin herself is a beauty, so she has no pity for the beauty's crying expression, "You don't have to pretend in front of me, I don't eat your set, let's save time and energy, and think about what means can be used to make my father like you." β
The tears in the embroidery girl's eyes became more and more full.
"Also," Mo Simin was still puzzled when she saw that she was about to cry, and in turn said to her, "The Mo family will always be my home, don't keep thinking about hitting me with those twists and turns.
There are actually a few words at the back, but I didn't finish it because An Xiabai was urging.
"Anyway, she is the one your father personally married into the door, even if you don't want to see her, you can't refute her face like this." An Xiabai took Mo Simin's hand and whispered, "Calm down." β
So Mo Simin swallowed his angry words back into his stomach, and after glaring at Xiuniang coldly, he took An Xiabai back to his room.
At that time, there happened to be a maid cleaning, and when she turned her head and saw Mo Simin entering the door, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to take a breath.
The anger grew.
"Whose things are those?" Mo Simin asked coldly, "Didn't I say before that you shouldn't touch the things in my room casually?" β
The maid trembled with fright when she asked this, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.
"What's wrong?" An Xiabai didn't know the secret, so he asked softly.
Mo Simin frowned tightly, and there were faint tears flashing in his eyes: "My things have been moved, it seems that some things have been moved, and many things have been added, but they are not what I like." β
The maid stood beside her, not daring to breathe, until Mo Simin asked again, she replied in a trembling voice: "The extra ones are all the things of the second lady." β
