If he remembered correctly, it was at the palace banquet last year.
Fang Chuanzhou attended with his wife and eldest daughter Fang Mingzhu, and Emperor Shunwu fell in love with his daughter at first sight.
Under the influence of alcohol, Emperor Shunwu ignored the rules and took Fang Mingzhu into the harem.
Unexpectedly, Fang Mingzhu was unwilling and refused Emperor Wu's "kindness" in public on the grounds that she was already engaged.
Fang Chuanzhou also did not want his daughter to enter the palace and compete with so many women for favor, so he knelt down to help Fang Mingzhu speak.
With so many ministers present, Emperor Shunwu could not force people to stay in the harem, so he could only let them go unwillingly.
The day after leaving the palace banquet, Fang Mingzhu got married in a hurry.
Based on Mo Jiuye's understanding of the emperor, he must have held a grudge against him. Taking this opportunity, he ransacked the entire Fang family and exiled them, which at the same time caused trouble for himself.
As for the Li family and the He family, they were not on good terms with Mo Jiuye, so the emperor sent them to be exiled with him. You can guess the reason with your toes.
Seeing He Zhiran still sitting there thinking hard, he gently hooked her finger.
When He Zhiran turned around, he said softly: "I will tell you about the affairs of these families when I have the opportunity in the future."
Seeing Mo Jiuye say this means that he has sorted out the situation.
Now that someone knows it, the Mo family no longer needs to be blind, He Zhiran simply doesn't want to get into trouble.
"Okay." She just responded casually, and it didn't matter whether Mo Jiuye told her or not.
Anyway, she has made her purpose clear. The first thing she needs to do is to change Mo Jiuye's fate of dying on the road to exile.
Seeing that she had made things clear, the second sister-in-law did not want to disturb the young couple's rest anymore.
"Ninth brother and sister, the second sister-in-law will go back to rest."
He Zhiran got on the wooden cart in order to help Mo Jiuye leave. Although the purpose has been achieved now, it is best for everyone to go to their respective places to avoid embarrassment to each other.
However, if she lay down for a while and then left, there was no guarantee that Zhou Laoba would become suspicious.
Helpless, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to lie back to her original position.
In order for her to sleep more comfortably, Mo Jiuye moved her body to the side.
Although he was tired from the journey, He Zhiran was not sleepy at this time.
Mo Jiuye seemed to be able to feel that she was not asleep, and asked softly:
"Can't sleep?"
"Yeah." He Zhiran responded casually.
"Is it because of what the second sister-in-law said?" Mo Jiuye asked.
"That's right!" He Zhiran didn't even know why he had insomnia. Maybe he was suddenly in a strange environment and was a little uncomfortable with it.
However, she didn't want to mention this to Mo Jiuye.
Mo Jiuye didn't pay attention to the words and expressions. He just listened to the voice and didn't see that He Zhiran was confusing himself.
"The He family and the Li family have some issues with me."
When He Zhiran saw Mo Jiuye taking the initiative to say something, he simply couldn't sleep, so he might as well listen carefully.
"What's the festival?" she asked.
"He Zhiyuan was originally the Minister of the Ministry of War. When I led the troops to fight, he deliberately withheld food and fodder to enrich his own pocket. I wrote a letter to the emperor about this matter.
The emperor sent people to investigate the matter thoroughly. I don’t know why, for such a big matter, the emperor just demoted He Zhiyuan’s official position, from Minister of War to Minister of War.”
After listening to Mo Jiuye's story, He Zhiran had another guess in his mind.
"According to what you said, the emperor had already had the intention to disturb the Mo family. He did not deal with He Zhiyuan immediately, but kept him to cause trouble for you?"
Mo Jiuye didn't expect that this woman could analyze the matter so thoroughly.
You know, he could figure this out, but it took him almost a day to carefully consider the results.
He felt more and more that He Zhiran was not simple anymore.
Now that everything has been said, He Zhiran also became interested.
"What about the Li family?"
Speaking of the grievances with the Li family, Mo Jiuye didn't know how to speak.
After much deliberation, he chose to tell the truth.
"The grudge between me and the Li family can be said to come from Li Rou'er."
Judging from the meaning in Mo Jiuye's words, he seems to be somewhat involved with Li Rouer.
Thinking about this, her interest became even stronger.
"What's the relationship between you two?"
At the same time, He Zhiran was also searching the memory of the original owner, looking for whether Li Rouer had mentioned Mo Jiuye to her.
She searched for a long time, until her head hurt, but still found nothing.
This can explain that Li Rouer did not mention a word about Mo Jiuye in front of the original owner.
"We have nothing to do with each other." Mo Jiuye answered without any hesitation.
"Then why do you say that the feud with the Li family started because of her?"
Hearing He Zhiran's questioning, Mo Jiuye subconsciously thought that this woman might be jealous.
So, he quickly explained.
"The carriage she was riding in lost control and was running rampant on the street. I happened to encounter her. I just controlled the horse out of good intentions.
At that time, I didn't pay much attention to the incident and thought it was over. Unexpectedly, Li Liang came to the door the next day with a gift, saying he wanted to thank me for saving my daughter's life.
And when I mentioned that I wanted to send Li Rouer to the Duke's Mansion as a concubine, I refused on the spot, saying that I was already engaged to you, and the Mohist ancestral precepts said that Mohist men do not take concubines.
After being rejected by me, Li Liang didn't have any strange reaction at the time. It wasn't until three days later that I met Li Rou'er again when I went out.
It can be said that she was waiting in front of the Duke's Mansion on purpose.
I planned to ignore him and leave directly, but her two maids stopped me.
Li Rouer claimed that she and I already had physical intimacy and that I must be responsible for her.
When I helped her control the horse, I didn't have any contact with her. This was obviously an attempt to cheat.
Therefore, without giving her any good looks or explanation, I rode away directly.
Since then, I have found that Li Liang is always against me. Whenever I say something, he will rack his brains to refute it.
Except for Li Rou'er, I can't think of any other way to offend Li Liang..."
After hearing what Mo Jiuye said, He Zhiran also figured out the fact that Li Rouer deliberately approached her and said bad things about the Mo family all day long, just to make her regret her marriage and then marry Mo Jiuye herself.
"Are these things you said at the beginning of the year?"
"You know?" Mo Jiuye asked.
Now that everything has been said, He Zhiran has no intention of hiding it.
He told Li Rouer in detail how he persuaded her not to marry into the Mo family, and this happened just after Li Rouer was rejected by Mo Jiuye.
Hearing this, Mo Jiuye's dark eyes darkened.
"I didn't expect that a girl's family would have such serious thoughts. It's really despicable."
"It's indeed despicable. He once pretended to care about me in front of me, but now that he's been exiled, he can't wait to reveal his true colors."
Speaking of Li Rouer, He Zhiran was very disdainful.
This is the face of an out-and-out villain, and He Zhiran despises such people the most.
Mo Jiuye saw that He Zhiran was unhappy and thought it was because of the unfounded incident between him and Li Rouer.
In order to relieve his anger, he added: "I have read my father-in-law's letter."
