61. I'm going home
Tang Mo couldn't mention how depressed he was. Why is it that after coming to this different world, it is so cowardly to be a pseudo-green forest hero? In addition to stealing a radish to eat as a fruit every day, what else do you do to hide in the corner and eavesdrop on other people's chats? Obviously, she didn't want to listen to the conversation between Xuan Shao, a little girl, and a little cook named Jing Niang, she just came to this weedy wasteland to help Chu Chen catch a few poisonous insects, but she was inadvertently blocked in the corner of the wall by the two of them, and finally had to listen to all the things they talked about Mrs. Li's confession word for word.
Tang Mo was very disdainful of Jing Niang, the little chef's opinion, that the "red fish" might still be hidden in the palace. Thinking about it, more than 30 years have passed, and everything has long been a matter of right and wrong, not to mention that the water in the palace is deep and unwanted. If Concubine Xue Niangniang was really used as a scapegoat, then the person who wanted to plan this matter had already taken advantage of the time when the emperor forced Concubine Xue Niangniang to flee with the "red fish", how could he stay in the palace stupidly and be arrested?
Tang Mo threw the little poisonous insect into the bamboo tube and put it away, then looked at the backs of Xuan Shao and Jing Niang and shook his head, now it's okay, there used to be a clue about Mrs. Li gathered together to be lively, and now Mrs. Li has become a living dead, "Red Fish" still doesn't know its whereabouts, should those who dream of getting "Red Fish" be scattered as birds and beasts?
Thinking of this, Tang Mo patted his head, and his mood instantly improved. Now that this old lady Li is done, there is no need for Mo Jing and her to continue to stay in Shangshu Mansion to seek grievances. Gotcha, hurry back and pack up with Mo Jing, and then quickly escape from this Shangshu Mansion.
Hmph, after leaving Shangshu Mansion, he immediately went to find Gu Yibao and asked him to quit what kind of Lao Zai's catch. When the time comes, as soon as you find the wolf's fang, hehe, you won't stay for a second, and you will leave this other world immediately.
It's a pity that Xuan Shao and Jing Niang don't know what Tang Mo is thinking at this time, if they know that they have been frozen on the roof of the Ming Wang's Mansion for three days, and they are still at the risk of being discovered by the secret guards, and finally try their best to block her in the corner of the wall, in order to pass on the news that she finally overheard to her, hoping that she can find the original intention of "Red Fish" to help rescue their people as soon as possible, she will definitely vomit blood three liters in anger.
Tang Mo hummed a little song and returned to the small courtyard where he and Mo Jing lived. Although Mo Jing's identity has undergone earth-shaking changes in Tang Mo's heart, in the eyes of everyone, this is just a scene in which the Zhou family insulted Li Qing'er's identity by the hand of Mama Feng, so although Mo Jing is the third lady of Shangshufu, there is still no difference between living and eating as a subordinate.
At this moment, Mo Jing sat in front of the dresser and looked at her beautiful face in the bronze mirror in a daze, combing her hair for a while.
"What's wrong?"
Tang Mo was a little strange, why did this Mo Jing look like she was lost and depressed, and there was still a trace of inexplicable resentment in her expression, could it be that the Zhou family brought someone to embarrass her again?
Mo Jing stopped the comb in his hand, didn't look back, looked at Tang Mo who was standing in the bronze mirror behind him, and said faintly:
"Tang Mo, do you think I'm good-looking?"
Tang Mo frowned imperceptibly, what a childish question. What can be done if it looks good or not? In the end, there is no escape from the natural law of birth, old age, sickness and death.
However, of course, Tang Mo would not be stupid to say this in front of Mo Jing,
"Beautiful."
Mo Jing smiled and put a beaded flower in her hair,
"Do you think the prince will like me when he sees me?"
Whoa? What do you mean? Tang Mo glanced at Mo Jing, who was slightly red at the base of her ears, a little strangely, could it be that she wanted to marry the prince of the world, and didn't want her brother Yan?
"If the prince likes you, what about your brother Yan?"
Although Tang Mo felt that Luo Yan, a scumbag, was not worthy of Mo Jing's life, but thinking of the dying prince, compared to the two, it was better for Luo Yan to be a scumbag, and he was still a big man who could solve his physiological needs!
"I have always treated Luo Yan as my own brother."
Tsk, for the sake of glory and wealth, Brother Yan was changed to Luo Yan.
Tang Mo held his forehead speechlessly, the feelings of the ancients could be broken no matter how they were said, and they were even more neat and neat than modern people. It seems that Mo Jing really wants to marry into a wealthy family, but once she enters a wealthy family, it is as deep as the sea, will she really be happy if she marries the prince who is about to fart as a concubine?
"Are you really going to marry that prince who is about to die?"
Mo Jing bit her lip, her eyes shone slightly,
"I really didn't want to marry him until I knew who I was. But I don't know why, the moment I learned that I was Li Jinnian's biological daughter, suddenly I wanted to resign myself to fate again. β
Mo Jing awkwardly avoided Tang Mo's gaze with a hint of mockery, lowered his head and whispered,
"Just now, the Zhou family sent someone over to tell me that the General's Mansion will send someone to greet you the day after tomorrow."
Tang Mo's face froze, and his eyes were a little uncalm:
"Didn't you say it would be extended for a month? Why is it suddenly ahead of schedule? β
"The old lady has already picked it up, but it seems that she is seriously injured, and it seems that it will be within two or three days. So General Ji meant that he wanted me to marry as soon as possible, so as not to have to delay another month. β
Mo Jing lowered her head a little embarrassed as she spoke.
Tang Mo understood that Li Jinnian seemed to know that Old Madam Li had no use value, so he wanted to dispose of her as soon as possible.
"Then you're planning to get married?"
Tang Mo sighed, wondering if he should tell Mo Jing about the relationship between her and Old Madam Li? After all, the only one in this mansion who wants to help her and let her live well is only this old lady. But in the end, Tang Mo still pushed this idea down, the current Mo Jing is no longer the beginning, more things are better than less.
Mo Jing was silent for a long time, and finally nodded.
"It's decided?"
Tang Mo asked again, she still hoped that Mo Jing would regret it.
Mo Jing nodded vigorously, and emphasized without hesitation,
"Yes."
"Okay, then I wish you happiness!"
Tang Mo's eyes were slightly red, and at this moment she had an indescribable emotion in her heart, not knowing whether she was angry about Mo Jing's decision at this moment or worried about her future.
Tang Mo put his hand on Mo Jing's shoulder and patted it gently.
Mo Jing's face was a little pale, and when she turned around, for some reason, when she heard Tang Mo wishing her happiness, her heart didn't feel the slightest joy, on the contrary, it seemed to be pinched by something, sore, painful and uneasy.
Tang Mo was a little reluctant to Mo Jing, because this was the first good girlfriend she wanted to cherish after coming to this other world.
For Tang Mo, Mo Jing was also a little reluctant, because she felt the determination in Tang Mo's words, maybe the day after tomorrow when she stepped into the gate of the General's Mansion, she would forever lose this good friend who had lived and died with her, but she had no regrets!
"Mo Jing, I'm going to leave here."
Tang Mo tried hard to squeeze out a smile on his face and said lightly.
"Ahh
Mo Jing stood up in a panic, grabbed Tang Mo's arm with her cold jade hand and said,
"Why?"
"I want to be free."
Tang Mo gently pushed away Mo Jing's hand holding his arm,
"The facts have proven that you are Li Jinnian's biological daughter, so you and Luo Yan don't have to worry that I will go to the yamen to say anything."
"No, Tang Mo, I believe in you as a person, but can you not leave me?"
Mo Jing stared at Tang Mo tightly, her eyes full of hope.
"There is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed. What's more, the paths we will take in the future are fundamentally different. β
Tang Mo shook his head resolutely and persistently.
"No, Tang Mo, you can't leave."
Mo Jing screamed, shook her thin body, opened her mouth, and wanted to explain something, but when the words came to her mouth, she suddenly couldn't speak.
Tang Mo's heart moved, his brows furrowed, staring at Mo Jing's panicked face, a touch of vigilance rose in his eyes.
"What's wrong? Why can't I leave? β
Mo Jing avoided Tang Mo's direct gaze, his eyes instantly darkened, and his tone was quite helpless:
"You also know that since I returned home, the Zhou family has always regarded me as a thorn in the side. And because of my mother's background, my father, Li Jinnian, also doesn't pay much attention to me, so my dowry, hehe! β
Speaking of this, Mo Jing smiled sadly at Tang Mo.
Although Mo Jing didn't say any more, Tang Mo knew in his heart that Li Jinnian was not happy about this marriage, but now the Zhou family has been choked by Mo Jing these days, and her own mother is from a Qinglou woman, so Mo Jing's dowry must be the same whether she has it or not.
But what does this Mo Jing's dowry have to do with her leaving? This point was very puzzling to Tang Mo, but she was embarrassed to ask directly, so she followed Mo Jing's words and said,
"If you don't have it, you won't have it, as long as you marry the prince Ji Chunqing who likes you, won't you? Those subordinates didn't act on his face yet, so as long as you hugged Ji Chunqing's thigh, no one would dare to provoke you, let alone make irresponsible remarks about you. β
With a depressed gaze, Mo Jing bit her lip fiercely, and hesitated for a while before she whispered:
"The people from the General's Mansion said that they didn't want any dowry, and that they would send the bride price tomorrow. It's justβ"
"Just what?"
Tang Mo looked at Mo Jing's spitting appearance, and couldn't help but be very puzzled, the General's Mansion didn't even want a bride price, wouldn't this be a great thing for her, but with this sad face, what was she worried about?
"The people from the General's Mansion said that although they don't want any dowry, they must bring you and Chu Chen into the General's Mansion together."
Tang Mo was almost so angry that he squirted out a mouthful of old blood.
Could it be that the people in the General's Mansion still looked for a fortune teller to show her and Chu Chen's faces, is it not enough for Mo Jing to marry alone, and he has to bring a few more people over to suppress the array? Holy, what's that? actually regarded me and Chu Chen alive as the dowry for the third lady of Shangshufu. This Ji Chunqing is going to die, and he is so perverted, he deserves to let you catch your breath when you get married.
Tang Mo was so angry that his heart, liver and lungs were about to stir together.
No, I don't want to stay here and that anymore, and I'm going to go to the wolf's tooth because I'm going home.
Tang Mo grimaced, and replied in a tough tone:
"No, Mo Jing, I may be able to promise you other things, but I will not agree to you 100% of this matter."
"Tang Mo, if you don't do this, will it work? You go to the General's Mansion with me first, and then you can find a chance to leave secretly, okay?" β
Mo Jing breathed softly, tears were already in her eyes, and she knelt down for Tang Mo with a "plop".
