Chapter 293: Poisonous Tongue
"I wrote to you to tell my father, and my father and mother said that they had already cleaned up the yard and asked you to move there at any time." Chu Mo said coldly, "Your luggage has been delivered, I asked someone to put it in the side hall, you can go and see if it is suitable later."
"Well, I'll take a look."
As he was talking, news came from the palace, saying that Chu Wanyu asked to see him. Chu Wanxiang was stunned for a moment, and then showed a sarcastic smile.
"I can't wait to come and apologize." Chu Wanxiang sneered, "She wants to take this opportunity for you to help and save her image, right?"
"No matter what tricks she plays, I won't let her succeed." Chu Mo said coldly, "You don't have to worry."
"Then let's go and see." Chu Wanxiang said.
"Okay."
The two went to the side hall and saw Chu Wanyu sitting there. She wore a gorgeous red dress, a peony bun, a pearl hairpin, earrings, and exquisite makeup. Chu Wanyao wore a plain dress and sat next to her.
"My sister is too." Chu Wanxiang said, "We just came back from Nanling, and we haven't said hello to my sister-in-law yet."
"It's good that sister-in-law doesn't blame." Chu Wanyu stood up and blessed herself, "I heard that my second brother has returned to Beijing, so I came to visit, and I hope my sister won't blame me for coming to the door rashly."
Chu Mo said coldly, "Don't dare, sister-in-law is here to find Wanxiang, right?"
Chu Wanqing coughed lightly, lowering her eyes to hide the curvature of her lips. These two brothers and sisters are really amazing, they poke people's hearts with every word, one is more poisonous than the other, and the other is darker than the other, no wonder they can marry a daughter-in-law.
Chu Wanyu smiled awkwardly: "It is indeed something to discuss."
Chu Mohan took Chu Wanxiang to sit down and instructed the maid to serve tea: "Just say anything about it, we still have to visit our grandfather's house, and we don't have time to talk to you more."
Chu Wanyu hesitated for a moment and said, "Second brother, are you still angry with me?"
Chu Mohan raised his eyebrows: "Why did you suddenly mention this? Why should I be angry with my sister-in-law?"
"I don't know about yesterday's incident, but my mother called you into the palace on her own initiative." Chu Wanyu explained, "Father has already reprimanded us."
Chu Mohan sighed, didn't seem to have any intention of pursuing it, and drank tea with a cup.
"I'm here today, in addition to apologizing to you, there is something more important." Chu Wanyu said seriously, "The emperor is going to take a concubine."
Chu Wanqing was taken aback: "Take a concubine?"
"I heard that my father is going to give the second daughter of the Marquis of Chu State to the Third Highness." Chu Wanyu looked at Chu Mohan, then at Chu Wanxiang, frowning slightly, "Second sister, you are the third brother's concubine, and your father also promised to let you round the house first, how can you ......?"
Although Chu Wanyu said it vaguely, Chu Mohan guessed what she was referring to, and anger suddenly swelled up in her heart, and she glanced at her coldly. Chu Wanyu was frightened and immediately shut up.
Chu Wanxiang was silent for a moment and said, "I know you're worried about me, I won't mess around."
Chu Wanyun sighed and said, "Second sister, the uncle doesn't want you to be wronged, so he wants you to go through the round house first, after all, you have been married for a few years, and you always want a round house." If you don't want to, Uncle won't force you, and I'll be punished on behalf of my second sister."
Chu Wanyu immediately said: "Second sister doesn't have to feel guilty, I am also to blame for this matter, it is because I was not thoughtful, and I talked nonsense without thinking clearly."
"Since you know you're wrong, you should know what to say and what not to say." Chu Mohan warned in a deep voice, "Father loves the second sister, so he is naturally reluctant to let you be wronged. If you quarrel with your eldest brother over this matter and make him sad, I don't know if I want to persuade you a few words, after all, you are all family."
"Lord Wang!" There was a sound of surprise at the door. Chu Wanxiang looked up and saw that it was Li Tian, the favorite guard by Chu Mohan's side, and hurriedly greeted him and said, "Why did you come back suddenly?"
"When I heard that the princess had been injured in an assassination, I immediately set off for my return. Is the princess alright?"
Chu Wanxiang's face flushed, lowered her head, and said softly, "It's okay, it's just ...... Broke my head."
"Lord Wang!" Li Tian saw Chu Mohan and wanted to speak
Zhi's appearance said, "Don't worry, your subordinates have already ordered someone to get things done. Those people have all been ambushed, and the princess no longer has to worry."
Chu Mohan nodded and said, "Well, it's hard work. Are you ready for dinner today?"
"Back to the prince, everything is arranged according to your orders."
Chu Wanxiang's eyes lit up slightly, and she said with a smile, "That's great, let's go quickly."
Chu Mohan reached out and took her hand, and smiled softly, "Your body hasn't fully recovered yet, let's slow down."
The two walked towards the garden, Chu Wanxiang glanced at him sideways, and suddenly tiptoed close to his ear and said, "You are so handsome today! More handsome than those portraits!" Chu Mohan was stunned for a moment, and then understood the meaning of her words, his face changed, but he still maintained his usual calmness, but his tone became resentful: "It's a pity that this king's appearance can only be shown to you."
Chu Wanxiang burst out laughing and grabbed his arm.
The two walked to the lakeside gazebo, which was brightly lit. A group of glamorous dancing girls danced, and the surrounding singers played the silk and bamboo orchestra, which was very lively.
As soon as Chu Wanxiang stepped into the pavilion, there was a burst of cheers, and everyone congratulated her in unison on her safety. Chu Wanxiang looked around and didn't see Chu Mohan. She chuckled in her heart, and hurriedly stopped dancing and singing, looking around for Chu Mohan's traces. Chu Mohan stood behind the bushes in the distance, staring at her silently.
He really didn't die...... This thought came to her heart, and Chu Wanxiang's heart throbbed violently. He's not dead, what should she do?
"Princess, drink a glass of wine to suppress the shock." Chu Mohan walked out slowly and handed over a glass of wine.
Chu Wanxiang looked at him for a while, took the wine and drank it, forcing herself to calm down. Chu Mohan stared at her for a moment. Chu Wanxiang drank all the wine in the cup and put the bottom of the cup on the table. Chu Mohan looked at her face, seemed to be relieved, and said, "This king heard that you were injured and came back to visit you, but you hid and drank alcohol?"
Chu Wanxiang's heart was in turmoil, and she barely squeezed out a few smiles, and said, "Concubine, thank you for your concern. The concubine is fine."
Chu Mohan said, "Since it's okay, let's eat." Then he pulled her up and walked inside, "Your meal is ready."
Chu Mohan took her hand and walked to the table, picked up the chopsticks and picked up the vegetables, "You taste this fish."
Chu Wanxiang did not refuse. Chu Mohan picked all the dishes she liked to eat into his bowl, and put the soup in front of her, "Drink more chicken soup." He stuffed the soup spoon into Chu Wanxiang's hand and continued to pick up the vegetables.
Chu Wanxiang lowered her eyes and looked at the spoon in her hand, and then raised her head to look at Chu Mohan, her eyes slightly moist.
Her reaction made Chu Mohan frown: "What? Don't like the dish I sandwich?"
