That day, Shi Qingxue stayed at Prince Rui's Mansion.
But no one would say anything at this time.
King Rui Mo Xiangrui also happened to return to Beijing that night. When he heard that Qingxue was there, he also asked everyone to have a meal together.
But when they arrived at the dinner table, King Rui's concubine was not there.
The smile on Mo Xiangrui's face faded a little, and he glanced at his second son, Mo Zhengdao, "Where is your mother?"
Mo Zhengdao was young, but when Mo Xiangrui asked him about it, his anger rushed straight to his face, as if it was his head.
But in the end, I didn’t know why, so I suppressed my anger and just said firmly: "My mother and son are not feeling well, and she is staying in her room to reflect on her mistakes."
"What... what is this?" Mo Xiangrui looked confused.
Just as he was about to ask again, he saw that Mo Zhengdao kept peeking at Mo Junyang, and he had a vague guess in his heart.
He asked calmly: "Yang'er, what happened at home today?"
Mo Junyang said calmly: "My son and the princess had a little dispute today, and she probably made the princess angry.
If the father has time, he can go see the prince and apologize for his son. "
These words were given to Mo Xiangrui and Qi Ruyue - even if the matter at the door of the house today was revealed like this.
But probably only Mo Junyang dared to ask his father to apologize to his little mother without any scruples.
Mo Xiangrui was not angry yet, but relieved!
"Since Ruyue is not feeling well, I will go check on her later. Let's eat now!"
Mo Zhengdao was still a little angry, but Mo Xiangrui had already made up his mind, so he didn't dare to say any more and picked up his dinner obediently.
After struggling through dinner, Mo Xiangrui and Mo Zhengdao hurried to the west wing.
Shi Qingxue and Mo Zhengdao returned to Muxueyuan.
Only then did she feel relieved, patted her chest, and whispered, "It's over! Are you all so scary when eating together?"
It was simply more terrifying than when the Duke's Palace was not divided.
However, there may be some factors that Qingxue and Mo Xiangrui are not familiar with.
There is also Mo Zhengdao-Mo Junyang, the second brother. He was very respectful and upright the last time we met, but now he looks like he wants to duel with Mo Junyang.
I don’t know if this is just because of concern for Qi Ruyue, or if her true colors have been revealed
Mo Junyang looked at Shi Qingxue's worried little face and found it funny, and couldn't help but pinch the little face with his hands.
Well, it feels pretty good!
"It's up to them to worry about these things. Why are you so worried?"
Shi Qingxue asked strangely: "Isn't King Ke Rui your father?"
Although Mo Junyang was born from an affair between Mo Xiangbin and Qi Yue, she always knew that the only father Mo Junyang acknowledged was Mo Xiangrui.
Mo Junyang also nodded, but said: "Yes! But we don't have to worry about that! Father will handle it himself."
"Aren't you afraid that Qi Ruyue will say bad things about you behind your back?" Shi Qingxue was still a little worried.
She has met Qi Ruyue several times. He is a person who is very good at winning people's hearts and considers everything.
After today's experience, she had truly seen Qi Ruyue's ability to bend and stretch, and that he could be considered a person.
Such people are not easy to deal with.
Mo Junyang smiled coldly, "She can give it a try!"
Shi Qingxue: "..."
This person really doesn't hide his arrogance at all!
In fact, Qi Ruyue is really trying.
Mo Zhengdao welcomed Mo Xiangrui into the west wing, but was not greeted by Qi Ruyue.
Mo Xiangrui also found that along the way, there were far fewer servants serving him, and the entire courtyard seemed deserted.
"What's going on? What are the servants in the west wing doing?" Mo Xiangrui asked in a deep voice.
Mo Zhengdao hummed angrily: "The servants are all good at looking at the food. How can the servants buy it if the princess doesn't get the attention she deserves in Prince Rui's Mansion?"
Mo Xiangrui is an old man, how could he not hear what Mo Zhengdao meant
The anger that had surged in his chest immediately calmed down.
He glanced at Mo Zhengdao and softened his tone, "So, it's those servants who deceived the master
Prince Rui's Mansion cannot afford to support the servants who dare to do such things, so they might as well kick them all out! "
You want to drive away all the servants in the West Wing without even asking why
Qi Ruyue finally managed to bribe a group of servants and make them obey her orders.
Now that Mo Xiangrui had driven her away with just a few words, what else could she do
Qi Ruyue was so angry that she couldn't care less that she was still pretending to be sick. She hurriedly came out and asked, "What are you doing, Your Majesty? You finally came to my west wing and you haven't even said a few words yet." All my servants have been driven away, you are trying to force me to death!"
Mo Xiangrui raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh? I have dealt with the disobedient servants for you, why are you unhappy?"
"The president of my concubine only has these few servants who can get a handle on me. Your Majesty, you have expelled them all now. Doesn't that mean that I have no one to take care of me anymore?" Qi Ruyue said, tears falling down.
Mo Xiangrui did not rush to coax him, but said, "You don't have to worry about this. I will help you make up for the missing servants the next day, and you will not be short of the treatment you deserve."
Qi Ruyue choked for a moment and said reluctantly: "But the new person is not as easy to handle as the old person!"
Mo Xiangrui smiled coldly, "But didn't you say now that you can't use the servants in the west wing
Servants who disobey will be expelled. "
Qi Ruyue was completely silenced by her previous words, but she could not just watch the few helpers she had finally trained disappear.
That really means losing your wife and losing your troops!
Qi Ruyue secretly almost broke her teeth, but Mo Xiangrui's attitude was clear - if she continued to argue, the other party would really make a big change in the west wing.
Qi Ruyue had no choice but to soften her attitude and begged in a low voice: "Actually, they serve me quite well!"
"Oh? Then why can't you see a single servant in the yard?"
Of course, it was to let Mo Xiangrui know how miserable their second wife's life was and how much they were exploited by Mo Junyang!
But Qi Ruyue couldn't say it clearly!
She has to take the blame herself!
Qi Ruyue forced a smile, "It's because I was in a bad mood today and didn't want to see anyone, so I didn't let them get close to me. It's not that they didn't listen."
Mo Xiangrui's face immediately darkened when he heard this, and he said displeasedly: "Ruyue, even if you were born among the people and didn't understand the rules before, but after all, you are now the concubine, and you still need to understand the rules that you should know.
As a master, it's okay to lose your temper occasionally, but at critical times, especially when guests come to your door, you should maintain the image of the palace. "
Mo Xiangrui scolded Qi Ruyue right away and almost called her a grandson.
Qi Ruyue was holding her breath in her heart and was expecting Mo Xiangrui to come and stand up for her. Unexpectedly, the other party came and gave her a lecture instead.
She was really unwilling to give in and couldn't help but said sadly: "Your Majesty, I am unhappy. You scolded me without asking why I was unhappy. Do you think I have so little status in your heart?" ?”
As she spoke, Qi Ruyue's tears fell and she looked at Mo Xiangrui with tearful eyes.
Mo Xiangrui is a grown man, and he can handle arguments with others easily, but when I saw Qi Ruyue, I burst into tears of pity, and his momentum immediately weakened.
He hurriedly wiped Qi Ruyue's tears, "You and I are just a couple, how come you have no place in my heart
I wasn't scolding you just now, I was just reminding you. Why were you crying? "
"I wholeheartedly marry you, but you don't even care about me, and you always yell at me. How can I have any status in this family?"
Qi Ruyue burst into tears all of a sudden, her tears falling more and more fiercely.
Mo Xiangrui was crying so much that he had no temper at all, so he managed to stop his tears by trying to persuade him.
He sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, what happened to make you cry here endlessly?"
While Qi Ruyue was sobbing softly, she secretly winked at Mo Zhengdao, who immediately said: "Father, my son knows that we are second wives and concubines, so we don't dare to compare with my eldest brother.
But after all, my mother and I are the serious masters of this palace. Even if my mother does something not good enough, my eldest brother can't embarrass her in public, right
How will my mother gain a foothold in the palace in the future? "
The more Mo Zhengdao talked, the more excited he became, and in the end he was filled with righteous indignation.
Mo Xiangrui frowned after hearing this and said displeasedly: "Speak nicely! After all, he is your brother, how can he be so rude?"
Mo Zhengdao: "..."
He talked for a long time and made his words clear. He didn't ask Mo Xiangrui to do anything to Mo Junyang immediately. At least he had to show his attitude, right
But Mo Xiangrui's heart was biased. Instead of saying anything wrong about Mo Junyang, he gave him a lecture.
Are there any fathers like this
No matter how much Mo Zhengdao cursed in his heart or how ugly his face looked, Mo Xiangrui pretended not to see it.
He said calmly: "Okay, what about this matter! Yang'er has also told this king. Yang'er also asked me to apologize to Ruyue on his behalf.
You are an elder, so don't worry too much about him and just treat this matter as a thing of the past, okay? "
Mo Zhengdao felt very unbalanced: Mo Junyang wanted to apologize, why did he come uninvited
But before he could show it, Qi Ruyue caught him first and agreed meekly: "Your Majesty, you are joking, we are a family, so naturally we don't care about this.
I was really feeling unwell just now, so I didn’t miss the dinner on purpose. "
"So is it better now?" Mo Xiangrui asked with concern.
Qi Ruyue smiled sweetly and said sweetly: "My lord, please come and see me personally. No matter how uncomfortable I am, I will be fine."
"Haha! Ruyue, what a mouth you have..."
The topic became more and more biased, and finally it became the sweet talk of an old couple, which almost made Mo Zhengdao's teeth sore.
Mo Zhengdao was almost overflowing with depression, but they still talked so enthusiastically that he could only pretend to be a wallflower.
When Mo Xiangrui finally left with satisfaction, Mo Zhengdao couldn't wait to ask: "Mom, didn't we all agree before
How could you let this matter go so easily? "
Second Young Master Mo felt very unbalanced.
