Chapter 33: Saving Wu Shang, provoking Helian Yi (2)
With Mo Youyou leaving, only Wu Shang and Yue Er remained. The two servants awkwardly looked at each other.
Yue Er walked over to Wu Shang timidly, and spoke to him in a low voice,
”Senior Wu Shang, let me help you up.”
”No need!”
After he finished speaking, he propped himself up. Wu Shang endured the pain and left the Northern Courtyard with much difficulty.
Yue Er stood rooted in her spot. Her gaze was blank as she watched Wu Shang's limping figure slowly disappear and furrowed her brows. I wonder how the young mistress is doing. Will the prince bully her?
Mo Youyou entered Helian Yi's study and randomly found a place to sit. Helian Yi, who was sitting at the desk, picked up a pen and started writing on the Xuan paper, occasionally glancing at Mo Youyou.
After a long while, Mo Youyou could no longer hold the silence, she stood up and walked towards Helian Yi. Helian Yi felt that something was amiss and he quickly covered the paper on his table. He raised his head, looked at Mo Youyou with cold eyes, and spoke with a voice devoid of any warmth.
”Do you know that you are wrong?”
Mo Youyou unhappily jumped onto Helian Yi's desk. To relieve Helian Yi's anger, she had no choice but to lower her head and admit her mistake. It was also true that she was currently living in someone else's home. She was eating someone else's food and is even sleeping in their beds. So lowering her eyes, Mo Youyou nodded her head with a hint of grievance.
However, this att.i.tude of admitting her wrongdoings made Helian Yi feel speechless. Only Mo Youyou would have the guts to sit on his desk while admitting her mistakes!
Seeing that Helian Yi almost wanted to make her eat her tears, Mo Youyou realized that she had sat in the wrong place, and with a flash, she jumped down from the table and sheepishly smiled at Helian Yi.
”Sorry Royal Uncle! Hehehe, get used to it, get used to it…”
”Humph! You must learn the rules of this Prince's Manor from the Senior Nanny. It would be best if you could put away your scoundrelly look before entering the palace tomorrow!”
Hearing Helian Yi's words, Mo Youyou gnashed her teeth in anger and pointed at him, then at herself.
”You! I...!”
”Hmm?”
”I...I know Royal Uncle. Then, if there's nothing else, Youyou will go down first.”
After that, Mo Youyou turned and fled from Helian Yi's study.
Gazing at Mo Youyou's pet.i.te figure walking at the side of the pond with her servant, Helian Yi frowned, his eyes suddenly darkened.
He walked over to his desk and opened the finished painting. Moving towards the window, he then glanced at Mo Youyou, who was squatting outside. Helian Yi felt his heart sank, his lips opening lightly.
”Can this Prince be interested in you?! Mo Youyou, are you truly General Mo's foolish Ninth Miss?”
At this moment, in Mo Residence, Mo Yan and Mo Li sat in front of a table. The two of them were glaring at the black-clothed man kneeling on the floor.
A few minutes pa.s.sed, and Mo Li was the first to speak, breaking the stifling silence. Her gloomy voice echoed inside the room.
”Tras.h.!.+ Why not do it like a flash in the pan? To dare run towards Prince Jing's carriage to stab him, you people sure have the guts! Why did my mother even support a bunch of wastes like you?!”
Mo Yan stood up and a.s.sisted Mo Li.
”Elder sister, don't get angry yet. Let him finish.”
After saying that, Mo Yan motioned the black-clothed man to give them a reasonable explanation. The man in black raised his head to look at the two sisters and replied:
”Reporting to Second Miss and Fourth Miss, if my men were only to make a small scale attack, not to mention being unable to kill Mo Youyou, I am afraid that the entire Lifesteal Hall that we have painstakingly nurtured over the years would not even survive until today! Furthermore, our people realized that Mo Youyou and His Highness the Crown Prince were very close. That's why they dared to act rashly.”
After Mo Li heard the black-clothed man's words, she looked at Mo Yan. She did not expect that Mo Youyou would dare to seduce Tong Li Kingdom's, Crown Prince!
