Several maids came forward and pulled Cheng Qianxin away, and asked Madam Mo to leave the door.
There were begging sounds behind her, mixed with bursts of crying, which was very distressing. However, Mrs. Mo was extremely disappointed with Cheng Qianxin and could not stir up any more waves.
She knew in her heart that Cheng Qianxin liked Mo Cheng and would never give up on him because of this one time. If she was soft-hearted, what if there was a second or third time in the future? She couldn't just watch the Mo family being destroyed bit by bit by Cheng Qianxin.
For the sake of the Mo family and her son, Mrs. Mo must make up her mind.
The next day.
Madam Mo and Mo Cheng went to visit on time and apologized to Zhang Shuying.
Since Zhang Shuying was not there and Lord Zhang was handling government affairs, the two of them were received by Madam Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang was not an unreasonable person, and she did not mind the fact that Mo Jia admitted his mistakes sincerely. However, the marriage between Zhang Shuying and Mo Cheng was completely over.
But even so, Madam Mo and Mo Cheng were very content.
At least, Mrs. Zhang did not get angry and cut off all ties with the Mohist school.
"Come out."
After Madam Mo and Mo Cheng walked away, Madam Zhang called out.
Zhang Shuying came out from behind the screen.
"Are you reluctant to let go?" Mrs. Zhang asked Zhang Shuying.
"No." Zhang Shuying pouted, unwilling to admit it.
But she was never good at lying, and her thoughts were always reflected on her face. Mrs. Zhang could see the disappointment between Zhang Shuying's eyebrows.
She patted Zhang Shuying's hand.
"If you really like Mo Cheng, I will talk to Madam Mo another day." Madam Zhang said gently.
"No." Zhang Shuying refused without hesitation. "Mom, I've already told you what happened yesterday. I don't think he likes me that much, and he's not the person I want to find."
"And Wanwan said the same thing. She is always very accurate in judging people."
"She talks all the time about the second young lady of the Ling family. Does she think what she says is the truth?" Mrs. Zhang chuckled and joked.
Zhang Shuying has been getting close to Ling Qingwan recently, and Mrs. Zhang has seen it.
In the past, Zhang Shuying only had Gu Zhi as her close friend, but now she has Ling Qingwan. Moreover, Ling Qingwan's sister is Zhang Shuying's mortal enemy. Mrs. Zhang knew this and became very curious, wondering how the two of them became friends.
"Wanwan has always been calm and steady in doing things. She must have her considerations when she said that. Anyway, I believe her." Zhang Shuying raised her head slightly, looking quite stubborn.
"Is Miss Ling Er really as good as you say?" Mrs. Zhang wondered.
"Really!" Zhang Shuying nodded immediately. "You'll know when you meet her. She's kind and steady. She's exactly the person I want to be."
Unfortunately, with her dull brain, she will never be half as smart as Ling Qingwan.
"That's fine." Madam Zhang nodded. "Why don't we ask her to come to our house for lunch today? I want to see if she's really as capable as you say, and at the same time thank her for helping you yesterday."
Zhang Shuying was extremely happy when she heard that Ling Qingwan was going to be invited to dinner. She immediately notified everyone and sent someone to the general's residence. Then she put on her clothes and hurried to the university scholar's residence.
Although the little girl had new friends, she still missed her old friends. Mrs. Zhang was very pleased.
She had long wanted to meet Ling Qingwan.
Although Ling Qingwan is just a little girl, she is not simple. She has only been in the capital for less than half a year, and rumors about her are all over the capital. Now she has become a future princess, and her status will only become more and more noble in the future.
Moreover, Ling Qingwan helped Zhang Shuying yesterday, so Mrs. Zhang should thank her.
Madam Zhang knew clearly that if Ling Qingwan was not around, Zhang Shuying would definitely be misunderstood by the Mo family, and she would not be able to clear herself even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
About half an hour later, Ling Qingwan, Zhang Shuying and Gu Zhi arrived at Zhang's house together.
It turned out that after Zhang Shuying picked up Gu Zhi, she went to look for Ling Qingwan on the way. She found that Ling Qingwan had been making excuses and was unwilling to come, so the two of them tried to persuade her for a long time.
Ling Qingwan liked quietness, and she knew that Madam Zhang invited her to dinner at her house to thank her.
However, Ling Qingwan finally agreed after being persuaded by Zhang Shuying and Gu Zhi.
Mrs. Zhang had a gentle temperament. After the meal, the atmosphere was very harmonious and not as awkward as Ling Qingwan had imagined. After the meal, Ling Qingwan and Gu Zhi said goodbye and left Zhang's house together.
"Wan Wan."
Gu Zhi temporarily got on Ling Qingwan's carriage.
Ling Qingwan knew that Gu Zhi definitely had something to say.
"Can you tell me why you think that young master of the Mo family is not appropriate?" Gu Zhi asked Ling Qingwan in a low voice.
"I know your personality. You have always been calm and composed. Such an incident will never be the reason for you to judge that the young master of the Mo family is not worthy of Shu Ying."
"But what did Shu Ying say to you?" Ling Qingwan smiled slightly.
When she came out of Zhang's house, she found that Gu Zhi was hiding something on his mind. The carriage that met Ling Qingwan halfway confirmed Ling Qingwan's guess.
"She didn't say anything." Gu Zhi sighed helplessly. "She just said that she was upset about breaking off the engagement with Mr. Mo. When they had just decided to get married a few days ago, Shu Ying came to my house to play with me and told me that she liked Mr. Mo very much. I thought to myself, if Mr. Mo is really not good enough, then forget it. If there is still hope, if the two can be together, Shu Ying will be happy too."
After all, Gu Zhi was still worried about Zhang Shuying.
"The young master of the Mo family is not important. What's important is Mo Xiang and Cheng Qianxin. Even if Shu Ying really marries the young master of the Mo family, she won't be comfortable with Mo Xiang and Cheng Qianxin making things difficult for her again and again. It just happened that we were there this time, but what about in the future? She has to live her life, and we can't always be by her side to protect her."
Ling Qingwan was also reluctant to tell Gu Zhi that she already knew the consequences if Zhang Shuying married into the Mo family.
"But didn't Mrs. Zhang say at the dinner table today that the Mo family has driven Cheng Qianxin back to the Cheng family?" Gu Zhi still didn't quite understand.
"She was driven back, but her legs are on her body, why did she insist on coming back? Madam Mo made such a decisive decision this time, after all, because Cheng Qianxin affected the interests of the Mo family. But things were different after Shu Ying married into the Mo family. Even if Madam Mo was good to Shu Ying, she could not stand Cheng Qianxin's constant trouble."
"It is very common to have three wives and four concubines at this time. What if Madam Mo lets Mo Cheng marry Cheng Qianxin as a concubine for peace and quiet? Then she will live under the same roof with Shu Ying, and she will have Mo Xiang's support. Shu Ying is so simple, how can she defeat her?"
Ling Qingwan's argument was well-reasoned and logical. Gu Zhi thought for a moment and was convinced by Ling Qingwan.
"You are very thoughtful."
"We are all doing this for Shuying's own good." Ling Qingwan chuckled.
The carriage unknowingly drove to the middle of two intersections, and Ling Qingwan and Gu Zhi separated.
