Chapter 280: Scheming

Seeing that Shen Huainan had a wry smile on his face, he raised the wine glass in his hand, and after toasting a glass of wine to everyone, he didn't want to leave, and glanced at Shen Mei intentionally or unintentionally, which made Shen Mei very unhappy.

Bai Ying noticed the expression on Shen Mei's face, saw Shen Huainan's meaning at a glance, and opened her mouth to break the dullness of the atmosphere, "Young Master Mo is young and promising, it's really rare, it looks like Young Master Mo hasn't married yet." ”

Although this sentence sounded a bit of a joking temptation, but it was not like this in the ears of others, Mo Li felt that there was a hint of playfulness in these words, but he nodded in annoyance, and smiled a little shyly.

Although the Gu family likes Mo Li very much, she is Shen Mei's biological mother, not to mention that she is still the eldest lady of the Shen Mansion, and it is Bai Ying's turn to have a concubine to comment on her daughter's marriage, her face sank, and she did not shy away from the eyes of outsiders, and glanced straight at Bai Ying.

"Why, my sister is trying to pull the red line for whose girl, I look at Mo Gongzi's talent, graceful and handsome appearance, there must be a lot of girls in the queue behind her, but I'm afraid that my sister will work in vain." Gu was unwilling to go toe-to-toe with Bai Ying on such an occasion, and Shen Huainan's face was suddenly a little angry by the intrigue between the two, but he was afraid of the people on the side, and lowered his voice to signal the two to stop a little.

Mo Li still had a smile on his face, looking steady, which made Shen Huainan very pleased.

swept Shen Mei, who was indifferent, and took advantage of the words of her two ladies just now, and led Mo Li aside in a low voice, "The inner population is unobstructed, and there are many offenses, and I hope the prince will forgive me." ”

Mo Li smiled politely, "What the adults said, the ladies just care about Mo Li." ”

Seeing that the young man in front of him was reasonable and gave people a very comfortable feeling, Shen Huainan secretly made up his mind to get closer to the relationship between him and the Shen family, of course, the most important person in this relationship was Shen Mei. Involuntarily, she took advantage of the gap in the conversation to glance at Shen Mei, but unexpectedly met Shen Mei's gaze, with hints and warnings in her eyes, it could be seen that Shen Mei didn't like Shen Huainan and Mo Li being alone, and it was after something like this had just happened.

Shen Huainan was very surprised, what he didn't expect was that Mo Li secretly laughed after noticing the father and daughter's eyes, he didn't expect that Shen Mei, a heartless person, would be a little angry because her father came to him, but he ignited some curiosity, and deliberately said to Shen Huainan, "My lord, I don't know if Mo Li's visit on another day will disturb the adults." “

As soon as these words came out, Shen Huainan was very happy, he was really looking forward to something, he wished that Mo Li would come every day, so that he could logically promote the relationship between Shen Mei and Mo Li, and what he wanted would soon come true, Mo Li, a big family in the capital, if he agreed to marry Shen Mei, then the status of the Shen Mansion in the capital would only be beneficial in every way, and it could be seen that Mo Li cared about Shen Mei very much, which was also one of the important reasons why he had always been optimistic about Mo Li.

"Of course it's good, it's rare that Mei'er can come back for more time this time, Mo Gongzi can come at any time if he is free, it's too late for the old man to be happy." After speaking, he put one hand on Mo Li's shoulder and patted it lightly, expressing his joy.

Mo Li smiled and nodded, Bai Ying had already taken the opportunity to leave, so she would not block herself at this time, although Shen Mei didn't want to see her, but she was still Shen Mei's elder to some extent, she didn't expect to make Gu so unhappy, and smiled lightly to dissolve the atmosphere, "Sister, I don't mean anything else, I just saw Mo Li's son..."

Gu Shi was even more angry when he heard this, "You don't have to worry about my daughter's affairs." "It can be seen that the Gu family is very unkind to see Bai Ying, but whose family's main house will treat the concubine with kind words, plus Bai Ying has now added a young master to the Shen Mansion, and his future status may not be more noble than the Gu family, and the people on the side are all spectators, but they like to chat about the shortcomings of their parents.

Bai Ying didn't want to go on like this, nodded to Gu with a smile and retreated, others even discussed, obviously this Bai Ying was born in a scholarly family, and her father can be regarded as a figure with a head and a face, and several brothers in the family are also their own officials, and she herself is also a rare and valuable female official in the court, how could she think of marrying Shen Huainan, a prefect in this district, in the final analysis, Bai Ying is not worth it, and they sighed one after another.

Gu obviously felt the cold eyes and heated discussions of others, and he was really impatient, so he walked in the direction of Shen Huainan and Mo Li.

Gu Shi said to Mo Li, "It's rare for the prince to come to the house, but unfortunately I feel a little unwell, so I went back first, and the master entertained Mo Gongzi." After saying that, she glanced at Shen Mei, Shen Mei understood what she meant, and said that she would send her mother back to the room to rest, and the two took the opportunity to leave the noise of the crowd.

made Shen Huainan's heart on the side tighten, knowing that the Gu family did it on purpose, in order to make him ugly in front of Mo Li and everyone. Without waiting for Shen Huainan and Mo Li to make a move, he led Shen Mei out.

Shen Mei sent Gu Shi back, and after calming her emotions well, she instructed her subordinates to take good care of her, but she always thought of the conversation between Shen Huainan and Mo Li just now, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, Shen Huainan's expression when she looked at her made her feel that Shen Huainan was planning something, and she felt very disgusted with such a thing, and approaching Mo Li in her own name was like forcing her to come back because her mother was unwell.

Shen Mei's most disliked was the feeling of being dominated, after watching Gu lie down, she went back to the place just now, sure enough, Mo Li hadn't left yet, Shen Huainan had just left Mo Li's side, and Shen Mei walked into Mo Li with her eyebrows locked.

As if expecting Shen Mei to come back, Mo Li didn't look up at her, but drank by himself, pretending not to care, Shen Mei saw through Mo Li's little action, "Mo Li, are you still there?" spoke to Mo Li without anger.

This is already the most harmonious way for the two to chat, and Mo Li ignored her.

"Talking to you, what did my dad tell you just now?" Shen Mei waited for an opportunity to investigate.

As a result, Mo Li raised his eyes and looked at Shen Mei's suspicious expression seriously, smiled helplessly, and only after a while did he slowly speak, "Your father, Lord Shen, he." “

"Speak well, you're not like this on weekdays, don't leave." Shen Mei saw that he didn't say a reason for a long time, and she couldn't bear it.

This movement made Shen Huainan, who had been carefully observing the two from a distance, suspicious, and looked at the two from time to time.

Mo Li paused and said, "I just listened to my uncle's words, and he was very worried about your life's affairs. “
