Chapter 427 - The Fight Between Yu Mingyong and Li Youmo (2/2)

“Dies in Qin?”

Mo Xuetong’s heart skipped a beat and she tightened her hold on Feng Yuran subconsciously. It felt as if the clouds in her mind were rolling up into a gigantic wave. It seemed… It seemed… In her past life, something did really happen to the Crown Prince. And this had something to do with the Princes. However, her mind was really muddled. She could not remember what exactly happened.

She had been stuck in the back courtyard and had been humiliated by others. Even her closest maids were trapped in there with her. All the news that she received from the outside world came from Sima Lingyun intentionally. Otherwise, she would not have known anything. She remembered that this was something a concubine of Sima Lingyun told her in a bid to flaunt about how much she was doted upon by Sima Lingyun. Mo Xuetong did not know anything else.

She truly regretted it now. If she had heard anything else about it, she would have been able to have more information now.

Feng Yuran said lazily, “I will trouble you then. Check if the Southern Barbarians have made any suspicious moves as well. For example, the most powerful prince and his mother.” He squeezed Mo Xuetong’s hand and even took the time to glance at her with his almond-shaped eyes. He winked at her playfully and his lips curled up. He seemed to be very laid back.

Li Youmo glanced at the buns in front of Mo Xuetong and teased Feng Yuran having gotten through their business. “Your Highness, what trouble could that be. You did not come just for this today, did you? I heard that you ordered the staff very early on to get fresh crab roe to make these buns. It can’t just be these ones in front of us!”

Mo Xuetong flushed and could not raise her head. Her frenzied heart felt sweet because of those words. So he had already thought of taking her out. He knew that she would not be able to eat her fill at the banquet and this was not a spur of the moment idea. She felt as if she was being taken care of and a rosy hue appeared on her pale cheeks.

Feng Yuran turned to look at Mo Xuetong. A spark of laughter flashed in his eyes as he explained the situation to Li Youmo in a rare good mood. “There is too much mingling to do at a banquet and you can never eat your fill. I thought that the buns here were not bad the last time, so we came to satiate our hunger.”

A crafty look flashed in Li Youmo’s eyes. He still brought up the matter even though he could see the buns placed in front of Mo Xuetong. “Your Highness, do you like eating buns? You said you didn’t like how it tasted the last time you came. Why did you especially order the staff to make it today? Do you like it now?”

Mo Xuetong was surprised. She knew that Li Youmo had brought up the matter intentionally. However, she antic.i.p.ated Li Youmo teasing Feng Yuran. She glanced at Feng Yuran with a flush on her face, wanting to see how he would react.

Feng Yuran laughed loudly and did not feel awkward at all. Instead, he looked at Mo Xuetong, looking straight into her beautiful eyes that were stealing glances at him. Her eyes were crystal clear and charming. There was also a hint of shyness in them. However, he could also see that she was waiting to watch how he would react. She was extremely adorable.

The devilishness in his handsome eyes abated and there was an additional gentleness in his eyes.

Mo Xuetong felt as if she were lost in his deep and dark eyes.

Li Youmo said with a smile. He did not want to play gooseberry and stood up. “Alright, alright, don’t show off how lovey-dovey you are in front of me. I shall go home and be lovey-dovey with my wife now.”

Feng Yuran raised his eyebrows as he looked at Li Youmo with a vague and devilish smile. “I heard that you fought with Yu Mingyong a few days ago. Does your wife not mind?”

Mo Xuetong looked up at that and stared at Li Youmo.

“Oh, Your Highness knows me well!” Feng Yuran mentioned what was troubling Li Youmo and Li Youmo’s expression turned into one of bitterness. He sat down again and gulped down his tea. Then, he turned to look pitifully at Mo Xuetong and said, “My Lady, you have to help me. Your cousin still refuses to let me in. I didn’t mean to do it, but that stupid Yu Mingyong did something wrong and implicated me.”

Mo Xuetong did not know what happened and she looked at Feng Yuran with dissatisfaction in her glowing eyes. She turned to Li Youmo and asked, “What happened? Why did you fight with Yu Mingyong? Did you really… fight with him for the most popular courtesan?”

The first time she met Li Youmo, she thought that he was not as annoying as the regular playboys from wealthy families. His gaze was also bright and clear. Then, he had appeared while Mo Xuemin met You Yuecheng in secret and revealed how Mo Xuemin had been meeting a man at night. After that, he almost married Mo Xuemin.

Mo Xuetong remembered how he had slapped Mo Xuemin the first time he visited the Mo Manor. Mo Xuetong had been secretly pleased then.

After that, when Mo Xuemin and Sima Lingyun plotted against her in the palace, Li Youmo had also appeared. He had plucked Sima Lingyun from the crowd then and it could be said that he again helped Mo Xuetong.

After that, it was the Fifth Princess’s birthday banquet. Consort Yu and Ling Fengyan had plotted against her. Li Youmo had spoken up for her against them with cold and sharp words. Even though he did not say much, his words had managed to hit the point every time. He managed to say what she could not. Mo Xuetong was very grateful to him. However, she frowned now and was a little uncertain.

She felt uneasy for Luo Mingzhu!

Was Li Youmo really a playboy?

“My Lady, you have wronged me. How could I be like Yu Mingyong?” Li Youmo complained when he saw the suspicious look Mo Xuetong gave him. He turned to say to Feng Yuran, “Your Highness, you have to speak up for me. Be my witness. I really didn’t do anything to Yu Mingyong. But that rascal just doesn’t like that I am doing well. He saw me inviting the girl home and he came to cause trouble. It was a mess.”

“Oh, you know about it too?” Mo Xuetong looked at Feng Yuran with displeasure. Did he make Li Youmo fight for the courtesan!
