Chapter 59
The Cold Prince Dotes On His Wild Wife
Seeing that, Mo Sheng shouted coldly: âClean this place up!â Then, he turned to look at Mo Youyou, âFollow me!â
With that, she brought the wronged Mo Youyou and left the mourning hall. Mo Li rushed in front of Li Rong and innocently choked with sobs, âMother, Iâm sorry. Liâer didnât do it on purpose.
Li Rong shook her head in despair, âItâs fine, mother is fine. Liâer, in the future, only the two of us will be able to depend on each other. Mother will not let Ranâer just die in vain. â
After she finished speaking, she glared sinisterly at Mo Youyou who was behind Mo Sheng. She tightly grabbed onto the corner of her clothes. She definitely had to make this little bitch, Mo Youyou, suffer a fate worse than death, to pay with his life for her daughter!
Mo Youyou followed his father Mo Sheng to the study room and quietly stood by the desk, waiting for Mo Sheng to speak. Very quickly, Mo Sheng angrily turned and glared at Mo Youyou.
âYouyou, did you do it on purpose just now?â
Mo Youyou shook his head blankly, âDaddy, I didnât.â
âNo?â What have you done in my absence? âHrm?â
Mo Youyou raised his eyes, and curiously sized up this so-called father in front of him. Yue Er said that this man really doted on the Ninth Miss and relied on her in everything. Although the other young misses and aunties didnât like this man in the manor, this old man had practically given all his love to Miss Mo.
But looking at Mo Sheng now, why did Mo Youyou feel that this favor was not that simple? If he really loved her, why would he have such an attitude?
Mo Youyou thought for a moment, then replied: âYouyou didnât do anything, stay in the mansion.â
Then why did you go to Prince Jingâs Manor?
âFather, a few days ago, Youyou was inexplicably thrown into the fecal drain and she almost drowned. After that, she found out that it was because of Prince Xiang and his scheme, because father was not in the manor yet, and because Youyou did not have anyone to rely on. Worried that she would be framed again, he went to the Orchid Garden to plead with Second Sister. But Second Sister threw Youyou into her hot spring. If it wasnât for the fact that Prince Jing came over to save Youyou that day, Iâm afraid ⦠â
With that, Mo Youyou wiped away his tears and looked at Mo Sheng in grievance. Seeing Mo Sheng staring at him suspiciously, Mo Youyou said sorrowfully:
âDaddy, Youyou is not here, do you believe that the little unscrupulous one suspects Youyou? Now that Youyou has told you what happened, you actually doubt him. Do you not believe me? If you donât believe it, you can ask Prince Jing. âI thought Daddy doted on me a lot â¦â
Mo Sheng indeed did not believe what Mo Youyou said. After all, the two daughters were injured to different degrees, yet the daughter was standing right in front of him, unharmed. If not for Moâs Residence, how could he swallow his anger and allow himself to raise his daughter for so many years, and even allow her to do whatever she wanted in the mansion! As he thought about the past, a tinge of fear appeared in Mo Shengâs eyes.
His Ranâer was already dead, and no matter what, he could not save her, and this daughter of his could not be hurt either. Thinking of Moâs Residenceâs over a thousand lives, Mo Sheng could only endure and sigh, and did not pursue the matter. Recalling the imperial edict that Mo Youyou spoke of just now, he asked:
âYouyou, you just said that thereâs a decree from the palace?â
Mo Youyou opened his eyes wide and nodded, âMn, the imperial edict said that after my marriage, I will enter the palace and learn the rules from the Senior Nanny. However, Prince Xiang and I have already cancelled our engagement, so I donât think that I need to go to Imperial Palace anymore. In these two days, it was all thanks to Prince Jingâs care that Youyou was able to safely hold on until father comes back. â
Mo Sheng frowned. He came back this time simply to attend the palace feast, and to give Third Madame a name. She followed him when she was sixteen, gave birth to two well-behaved daughters, and helped General Moâs Residence take care of his affairs in an orderly manner. The position of the Generalâs Estateâs Madam should have been given to her a long time ago.
Seeing Mo Youyouâs naive expression, Mo Sheng didnât want to quibble any further with him and reminded him, âAfter Ranâer is buried in the next two days, father will go and ask about it in the palace. Learning the rules is also good. In the future, you wonât get into trouble because you donât know the rules. Alright, letâs withdraw! â
Mo Youyou blessed himself, âYes, Daddy.â
âWait,â Just as Mo Youyou was about to turn around and leave, he heard Mo Shengâs voice, âYou donât need to go to Ranâerâs spirit hall, itâs good that you have this mindset. Obediently stay in your Fragrant Garden and wait for this matter to pass before you make any other plans. â
Mo Youyou sneered, it would have been better if he had not gone, who would be willing to go to the place where a woman had plotted against him all day to mourn for her, just the thought of it made him feel unlucky. After a pause, she opened the door and quickly left Mo Shengâs study.
Prince Jingâs Manor stood outside the study and reported, âYour Highness, Ninth Miss has been safely sent to you.â
Helian Yi who was drawing heard Wu Shangâs words, the brush in his hand paused for a moment, his deep eyes glanced at the painting in front of him, his head lowered, and continued to write on the paper.
Wu Shang didnât understand anything as he stood blankly outside the door waiting for Master to speak. Very soon, Helian Yiâs ice-cold voice came out, âSend a message to Falcon, ask him to hurry back tonight. I has something important to arrange for him. â
âYes.â âMy lord.â
After Wu Shang left, Helian Yi looked at the painting in front of him as if he had seen a god, on it was a cute girl dressed in white, and a beautiful girl with snow-white clothes. Her hand pushed open the curtain, and her lips curled up slightly, staring outside the carriage with her bright and clear eyes.
After a long while, he murmured softly, âMo Youyou, who exactly are you?â
He carefully kept the painting, and slowly stood up to walk to the side of the library. Unknowingly, a glass ball had appeared in his hand, and he quickly placed it on top of the engravings in the library. Suddenly, there was a movement from the library, and very quickly, it started to revolve.
General Moâs Residence was in Fragrant Garden. Mo Youyou and Yue Er stood outside her hall looking at the shabby house with disgust and with one hand pressed against her chin. Her clear eyes kept rolling.
After a while, she said to Yue Er who was behind her, âWhy donât we go and live at Mo Yanâs bamboo garden?â
Hearing Mo Youyouâs words, Yue Er looked around in shock, and whispered into Mo Youyouâs ears: âMiss, Fourth Miss just passed away, isnât that bad?â
Mo Youyou did not think so, âWhatâs wrong? When she was alive, she occupied such a good house, look at where we live, does this look like the residence of a young lady from Generalâs Estate? They even said that Daddy dotes on me the most! Look at that roof! â
With that, Mo Youyou pointed to the roof and let Yue Er see for herself. Yue Er slightly frowned, she and the young miss had lived in this Fragrant Garden for more than ten years. In the past, she had mentioned to the Miss that the house was very old and that there would be rain in the sleeping quarters during the rainy season. However, the Miss didnât care at the time, she was already satisfied with what she said. Masterâs words were indeed from the beautiful memories of the Fragrant Garden, and couldnât be randomly changed. So he gave up.
Now, looking at this dilapidated chamber and glancing at Mo Youyou beside him, Yue Er felt that this Ninth Miss was no longer Moâs Residenceâs Ninth Miss.
