Chapter 817 Prevarication
When Mo Qingcheng mentioned Wanqi Wusheng, Mo Shangshang's face looked unnatural. He was half pretending and half serious: "My long illness has made the prince worried. I don't know why my sister is here today."
Why?"
"It's nothing serious," Mo Qingcheng smiled and said slowly, "I just heard that my mother was feeling unwell yesterday, so I went back with the prince. I heard that my mother said that I should invite an acquaintance lady to come over and sit with me. Last night I was with you.
The prince mentioned it, and the prince also agreed. He happened to hear that the eldest sister was feeling better, so he came to ask the eldest sister for her troubles."
When Mo Shangshang saw her talking about business, he didn't want to burden himself with the work. He shouldn't be implicated in it, whether it was good or bad. He just smiled and said: "Since the prince has agreed, my sister will see if the day is suitable and invite them to come and sit down."
yes."
Mo Qingcheng couldn't help but feel a little happy when he saw that the eldest sister who had always pushed for him was now so polite to him. As expected, this girl Caiping was smart and could see things thoroughly. What did it matter if Fengxing or not? She was too much before.
Anxious.
"But I have never taken care of so many people. What do you think, eldest sister?" Mo Qingcheng asked with a smile. When they were in the Mo family, under the guidance of Mrs. Gu, they both held several small banquets and invited all their girlfriends.
However, this time it was different. In name, I invited my best friends to come over and have fun, but in fact, the focus was on those aristocratic families that were helpful to the prince's grand cause.
Of course, Mo Qingcheng would not say this in front of Mo Shangshang. Mo Shangshang had read the original text, so how could he not know the secrets involved? But Mo Qingcheng didn't say it, and she was happy to pretend not to understand: "I
The days are dull and I don’t know much about the affairs of the house. I don’t have any ideas. My sister might as well call Manager Wu to ask. The prince relies on him and he must be capable."
Mo Qingcheng smiled and said something more. Mo Shangshang played a push-and-pull game with her, watching her mention Wan Qi Wusheng's importance to her intentionally or unintentionally, but he just pretended not to hear it. In the end, he really didn't.
After being patient, he told Jinxiang that she had a headache and asked her to be sent out.
As soon as Mo Qingcheng left, Mo Shangshang couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking to himself, Wanqi Wusheng values you? If he values you, will you beg to be let others sleep, and no one will even look at you?
Mo Qingcheng came out and smiled at Jin Xiang: "Sister, she has become weak after playing the Double Ninth Festival. Jin Xiang, please worry a lot."
"The prince pointed the servant to the princess. Naturally, he has to take good care of the princess. I don't dare to forget the prince's instructions. On the other hand, my concubine is in good health, so you have to be busy with things inside and outside, so you really bother."
Jin Xiang smiled back and said words that were misleading. When she saw Caiping secretly stuffing her purse, she didn't refuse. Instead, she pinched it skillfully and pulled it into her sleeve.
Her movements are skillful, but if you don't stare at her, you will definitely not notice her movements.
When Mo Qingcheng saw that she had collected her things, she didn't say anything more and led Caiping back.
Jin Xiang waited at the door until they were gone before she came back and handed the purse embroidered with pink lotus flowers to Mo Shangshang: "Princess, the concubine just rewarded the slave."
Hong Hu was shocked at the sight: "Why would the second young lady reward you?" When she was at Mo's house, Hong Hu heard from Hongjin and the others that the second young lady was a bit stingy towards the maids of Qiuwuyuan, and the reward she gave her was not as good as the third one.
The lady's side.
The second young lady and the young lady have always been at odds with each other, so why would they be given a gold incense reward?
"Honghu, don't worry, let Jinxiang finish what he said?" Mo Shangshang took the wallet and said, opened it and took out two golden rose rings. They are not light. Keep them for yourself to show your dignity, and exchange them for
The money is also quite considerable.
However, Jinxiang actually took out the things instead of reporting it to Wanqi Wusheng first. Mo Shangshang felt that something was a little strange.
Hong Hu said nothing and waited for Jinxiang to say what Mo Qingcheng said. She didn't understand the meaning. She only knew that based on the relationship between the young lady and the second young lady, the second young lady was definitely not caring about the young lady.
After hearing this, Mo Shangshang was helpless and threw one of the rings to Hong Hu: "My sister actually put her idea on your head. Has something happened in the house recently that I don't know about?"
"The princess is wise, the prince ordered someone to send a pair of eggs to the concubine the day before yesterday." Jin Xiang said with a smile.
Giving eggs? Mo Shangshang was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that it seemed that in the original text, Wan Qi Wusheng gave Mo Meixiang a pair of eggs, but before they hatched, Mo Qingcheng "accidentally" smashed them.
"Is it a wild goose egg?" Mo Shangshang asked. Jin Xiang nodded, but Hong Hu didn't react. What's so great about a wild goose egg? It's just two eggs.
Mo Shangshang frowned. Wild geese can also be seen in the south, but those things are not rare in the south. On the contrary, they are rare in the north. Moreover, the wild geese in the book are meant to convey love. No wonder Mo Qingcheng dared to be so bold and bribed Jin Xiang.
I'm afraid she mistakenly thought that Wanqi Wushengxin belonged to her. Even if she made a small mistake, it wouldn't matter. Besides, there would be an excuse to cover it up.
Hong Hu is so stubborn that she can't hear what Mo Qingcheng means. How can she still hear it? Let Jin Xiang worry more and give Jin Xiang such a heavy reward. Isn't it just pointing at Jin Xiang to tip her off? If necessary, he can
Use Jinxiang's hand to get rid of her stumbling block.
It seems that if the Mo family hadn't still been thinking about Mo Qingcheng's death, they would have declared her dead when she disappeared.
Seeing Mo Shangshang frowning, Jin Xiang just said that she was not happy, and hurriedly explained in a low voice: "Don't worry, Princess, the prince sent two dead eggs. Unless God opens his eyes, the concubine will not be able to hatch anything."
"
Mo Shangshang was speechless when she heard this. She was not worried about Wan Qi Wusheng giving Mo Qingcheng that thing and not bothering herself. She thought that since this man was pretending to be in love with Mo Qingcheng, why was he here again?
Provoke yourself at the critical moment?
Yesterday afternoon at Zhuli Pavilion, she thought it was an accident, but last night it was definitely not an accident. This guy had premeditated it. Is there something wrong with his mind?
Mo Shangshang originally thought the same thing, but seeing Jin Xiang's attitude, he rushed to inform him, fearing that he might misunderstand him. Why did he look so like he was trying to increase Wan Qi Wusheng's favorability?
The panic caused by Wan Qi Wusheng last night started to make trouble again. Mo Shangshang frowned, glanced at Hong Hu who had not yet understood what was going on, and coughed softly: "Hong Hu, go
A bowl of pear stew from the kitchen."
When we were at Mo's house, Hong Hu was always keeping an eye on everything in the kitchen, but Hong Hu would still stew some snacks. When she heard Mo Shangshang coughing, he thought it was dry weather and hurried to the kitchen to stew snow pears.
Jin Xiang felt something was wrong, and thought to herself that she might have said the wrong thing. The princess kept frowning and pushed Hong Hu away. It looked like she was coming with bad intentions.
Mo Shangshang watched Hong Hu go out, then looked at Jin Xiang and threw another gold ring to her: "Okay, tell the truth, what did the prince tell you?"
Mo Shangshang had asked about this before, but she didn't ask further at that time. Instead, she was asked to think about it. Jin Xiang never mentioned it, and recent events didn't seem to make it necessary for her to interrupt again.
But now seeing that Mo Shangshang didn't seem to notice it, Jin Xiang couldn't help but suspect that she had guessed wrong, and whispered: "The prince has ordered the slaves to serve the princess."
Mo Shangshang was speechless, wondering, do you think I'm stupid or do you think I'm Alzheimer's? Who can't see that you're here to serve someone?
"You came from the prince's side. What my sister said to you today, you did not report to the prince and ask him to make a decision. Instead, you came here to scare me. What are your thoughts?" Mo Shangshang asked, although she had never told him.
The original text already knew that Mo Qingcheng disliked her. Even if hundreds of members of the Mo family were later thrown into the prison, she would not believe that Mo Qingcheng would treat her well now.
But only she knew these things. Jin Xiang turned around and revealed that Mo Qingcheng bribed her. What was An's intention? Did he want to deepen the rift between her and Mo Qingcheng? Or what?
The character Jin Xiang only appeared twice in the original text. The first time she was disliked by Mo Meixiang, who found an excuse to sell her. The general's wife Wan Jinsheng arrived in time to take her away, and then she
Appearing means following Wan Jinsheng out of Yedu and missing.
So Mo Shangshang couldn't judge Jin Xiang's character from the original text. She didn't pay attention to it before because Mo Meixiang's line was broken. Jin Xiang was still the person who stayed with Wan Qi Wusheng the longest, and Wan Qi Wusheng
It was reasonable and reasonable for him to send her to monitor him.
