Chapter 177: Who to follow
The so-called overturned boat in the gutter in Ruqing's mouth means that after she lost Shen Ya halfway, she was taken away by a thief.
Speaking of this, she was angry in her heart: "When I think I was in the county, only I took other people's things, how could there be any reason for others to take my things, this time they stole from me, only blame me for being too careless!" β
She gritted her teeth and said, the annoyance on her face was undisguised: "At that time, I was resting in the teahouse, and I originally wanted to inquire with the shopkeeper about Shen Ya's whereabouts, but as a result, I was stolen by someone else, and all the silver taels on my body were stolen, but it was already a short distance from the county seat, and I couldn't go back, so I thoughtββ"
At this point, she couldn't bear to continue, just because she was acting too despicable, and she was afraid that it would be embarrassing to say it.
"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that life is a little uncomfortable, and now it's over, isn't it?" She pretended to smile lightly and said to Mo Simin, "And I have such a fate to meet you, I can be regarded as bittersweet." β
As soon as the words fell, Ruqing realized that the situation was wrong.
The expressions of Mo Simin and An Xiabai are clearly not relaxed or happy.
Especially the former, frowning tightly, as if he was about to cry in the next second: "When did you come to the capital?" β
"Just, just a few days ago." Ruqing snorted.
Before the words fell, Mo Simin slapped her on the shoulder: "What's the matter with you, when you were in the county before, your brain was obviously quite fast, but now that you have come to the capital after some hardships, your brain is not flexible." You should have come to us on the first day you came to the capital, didn't you, and you didn't know my father's name. β
Ruqing smiled awkwardly: "Don't I dare." β
It's not that she didn't think about asking Mo Simin for help, but after weighing the pros and cons, she still chose to give up, mainly because she didn't dare to face An Xiabai.
I messed up the restaurant business that others had managed so well, and I really didn't have the face to see her.
An Xiabai sighed silently beside him, his expression was very complicated: "I don't think Si Min is wrong at all, after you came to the capital, your head was a little inflexible." β
She looked annoyed, gently tapped Ruqing's head, and said softly: "Compared to the restaurant business, I think your body is more important." β
Ruqing was told by them like this, and she really felt that her head couldn't turn around: "Don't you mind the matter of the restaurant?" β
If An Xiabai didn't mind, wouldn't it just confirm Shen Ya's words?
Thinking of the dispute between herself and Shen Ya in the restaurant at that time, Ruqing suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"The restaurant was opened with great difficulty, and I naturally feel distressed after it went out of business, but what I feel more distressed about is your body," An Xiabai took her hand and took out the handkerchief she carried with her to help wipe the dust on her forehead, "If the restaurant closes down, you can open another one, but if your body collapses because of this, things will not be easy to handle, right?" β
It seems that this is the truth.
It seems that his previous anxiety was indeed in vain.
Ruqing sighed, with a helpless emotion on her face: "If I knew that you didn't mind, I wouldn't have to suffer so many crimes, how good it would be to live my life in the county seat." β
An Xiabai couldn't hold back, sneered, and then remembered another thing.
"By the way, what about Lord Shen?"
Ruqing is also worried about his whereabouts: "I chased all the way from the county seat, I didn't catch anyone, and it was even more difficult to chase after losing the silver taels, and now where Shenya people are, I don't know, but I estimate that he has arrived in the capital, but I don't know where he lives now." β
"Now that you're in the capital, things are easy to do." Mo Simin's eyes lit up slightly, and she said with a smile, "Let Xia Bai help you find it, she knows a lot of people in the capital, and she will definitely be able to help you." β
Ruqing exclaimed and looked at An Xiabai with interest: "It seems that these days, you have been doing well in the capital." β
"It's just barely getting by." An Xiabai smiled disapprovingly, "If you want to ask me carefully how I've been doing these days, or wait until we all go back, let's clean up after you clean up first." β
As soon as she said this, Ruqing remembered that her current appearance was a little inappropriate.
Because of the long distance and the lack of money, she hasn't taken care of herself for a long time, and An Xiabai and Mo Simin, who are losing, don't dislike it, and are even willing to hold her hand.
Ruqing was very moved.
"I want to take you home to clean up after a while, and then tell you about my affairs in the capital carefully."
After An Xiabai proposed, Ruqing hurriedly nodded in agreement, and at the same time, Mo Simin next to her was also a little moved: "I will also go with you." β
She thought that anyway, Mo Qiyan preferred the daughter of the embroidered girl, and she would just be angry when she went back, no matter how bad it was, it might be a quarrel, instead of going back to argue with them, it was better to follow An Xiabai together.
Just after Mo Simin confessed his current thoughts to An Xiabai, the latter raised his eyebrows and shook his head gently: "Simin, it's useless to try to escape, instead of going to my house, it's better to go back and talk to Lord Mo, you are father and daughter, and if the relationship continues like this, it will only affect the relationship between the two of you." β
Mo Simin herself didn't understand the stakes, she just didn't want to face it.
She lowered her face, and her complicated expression fell into Ruqing's eyes, causing Ruqing's endless doubts and puzzles: "When I was in the county seat before, wasn't the relationship between Simin and Lord Mo repaired, what's going on now, it's gone bad again?" β
An Xiabai sighed and nodded: "It's a long story, I'll explain it to you when I go back later." β
The top priority at the moment is to persuade Mo Simin to return to the Mo family.
An Xiabai knew that she didn't want to face Mo Qiyan who had just lost her temper alone, nor did she want to face Xiuniang, so she thought about asking Feng Bailin to help send Ruqing home first.
"Your Highness, can you do me a favor?"
Feng Bailin looked at it in silence for a long time, but he hadn't figured out the relationship between the few of them, although he didn't figure it out, but An Xiabai's request he didn't hesitate to nod: "Mrs. Lu, you say?" β
An Xiabai originally wanted to ask her to help send people back, after all, Ruqing's appearance was not suitable for going to the Mo family to see Mo Qiyan, but before she could speak, she was interrupted by someone who came in a hurry.
"Simin!"
This extremely familiar voice made Mo Simin's body stiffen.
Those who didn't want to tell still heard the news and rushed over.
"Why are you here?" Mo Simin frowned half-frowning, followed the prestige, and saw that not far away, the prince was walking quickly.
As soon as he approached, he hugged Mo Simin into his arms without any scruples: "How could I not know about the falling out with your family, just now Bailin sent someone to tell me about it, and I hurried over to find you." β
God knows what kind of waves Mo Simin left the Mo family alone in the prince's heart.
He was so scared that his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
The intimate appearance of the two of them fell in Ruqing's eyes, causing Ruqing's eyes to widen: "Could it be that the one in front of you is Simin's fiancΓ©?" β
An Xiabai nodded with a smile next to him: "Yes, it's him." β
After Ruqing glanced up and down, an expression similar to appreciation appeared on her face: "Yes, it does look like a good match for Simin." β
The prince is thick-skinned and not afraid of others to see him, but Mo Simin is different, especially when the person she looks at is Ruqing, who has been secretly in love with her, and the feeling of shame suddenly occupies her whole heart.
She pushed the prince away suddenly, her cheeks flushed, and said, "I'm not a child, so I don't need to worry like this." β
The prince knew that she was embarrassed, so he just smiled and did not refute.
At this time, he finally noticed Ruqing next to him.
"Who is this girl?" The prince's eyesight was far better than Feng Bailin's, and he recognized Ruqing at a glance as a woman dressed as a man.
"Good eyes." Ruqing appreciated him a little more, "I am a friend of Simin and Xia Bai, I used to open a restaurant with them in the county seat, and now I have something to do, so I come to the capital to join." β
The crown prince raised his eyebrows, and before he could speak, he was robbed of words by An Xiabai: "This is Ruqing, there is something to do in the capital." β
Originally, An Xiabai wanted Feng Bailin to help send Ruqing home, and then accompany Mo Simin home, but now it seems that there is no need for it.
"I have to take Ruqing home to clean up first, and the matter over there will be handed over to you."
The prince chose to nod without hesitation: "Yes, Simin's business is my business." β
Then they parted, and the prince took Mo Simin back to Mo's house.
The two of them came to the door together, but she squirmed and refused to go in.
"Are you scared?" The prince's words broke her mind.
Mo Simin's face was a little uneasy, but he was still reluctant to enter the door.
The prince really couldn't help her, so he proposed: "In this way, after we enter the door later, I will talk to Master Mo first, and I will let you meet after I have a good chat with him?" β
Mo Simin didn't speak, meaning that he didn't want to.
"Simin, after all, he is your only blood relative, you can't get along with him because of a momentary anger." The prince persuaded softly, "Just like Mrs. Lu said just now, if the two of you quarrel and quarrel, it will only benefit the others." Are you willing to make them happy for nothing? β
Mo Simin relented.
Seeing her nodding, the prince smiled and pulled her into the door, and then led the way by the butler, and went straight to Mo Qiyan's study.
At the same time, Mo Qiyan was flustered by Mo Simin's mood.
After the previous quarrel, Mo Simin dared to run away from home, and now that the quarrel is so fierce, will she not come back?
When there was no news of Mo Simin for a while, he could be said to be anxious, and the whole person was like an ant on a hot pot.
"Master Mo, Simin is back."
After the prince was brought into the study by the butler, the first thing he said was this.
Mo Qiyan happily sat up from his position, and slowly sat back down after a while.
What if he came back, he really didn't know how he should get along with Mo Simin now, and he had enough of the days when he quarreled as soon as they met.
