After listening to Hong Ling's words, Mo Xi responded calmly: "Don't worry so much. If you are talking about marriage, of course you have to do it one by one. The elder sister and the second bedroom sister are not married yet, so it won't matter what happens.
Come to this lady."
Hong Ling tilted her little head and said thoughtfully: "The young lady is right. The second young lady and the third young lady are not married yet. No matter what, it shouldn't be our third room's turn. As long as the young lady and the fourth young lady don't get involved.
This servant, Third Young Master Cao, can rest assured."
Mo Xi looked at Hong Ling's little face that turned red with excitement and smiled without saying a word. She already had her own plan in mind. In this big and intrigued family, she had to be cautious.
The night wind mixed with a light fragrance blew the dense trees outside the window, and the leaves made a rustling sound, which seemed strangely clear in this cold and quiet small courtyard.
Hearing that there was no movement outside, Mo Xi quietly slipped out of the room. She wondered what the conversation between Mr. Cao and Prime Minister Mo was going on. Maybe she should go and find out.
Night is the best protective color for Mo Xi. She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child. Flying over eaves and walls is a piece of cake. She used the cover of night to avoid the maids walking on the bluestone path and came to the front courtyard.
Gently leaping up, Mo Xi jumped onto the roof as lightly as a dragonfly on water, moving carefully and slowly along the tile surface.
I wonder if Mr. Cao and his son had left at this time? Mo Xi was just thinking when he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from the courtyard below: "Why did you ask me to go to the study so late?"
The sharp voice that spoke was a bit displeased. It was Mrs. Liu Zhixi. It turned out that the location where Mo Xi was now was the Peony Pavilion where Mrs. Qianting lived.
Mo Xi stopped and leaned his body against the roof, but his eyes kept watching the eldest lady enter a room not far away, which must be Prime Minister Mo's study.
Silence returned to the courtyard again. Mo Xi quickened his pace, and with a few swift strokes, he turned over and reached the roof of the study. He carefully lowered his body lower, and with a flick of his green-white fingertips, he loosened a tile.
Through a gap, through the candlelight in the room, she could clearly see that only Mo Tingzhong and the eldest lady were in the study.
It seems that Mr. Cao and his son have left the Prime Minister's Mansion. It must be related to this matter that Mo Tingzhong ordered to call Madam to the study at this moment?! Mo Xi secretly speculated in his heart.
