Chapter 8  : Mistaking the Northern Courtyard, playing with Prince Jing?

Third Madame stared at the cloth strangely, and asked Mo Yan who was beside her:

“Yan’er, did you hear what Prince Jing said to that damned girl?”

Mo Yan recalled the scene earlier and shook her head, “At that time they were both in the middle of the water. I couldn’t swim, so I had only been watching from the shore the whole time. The two of them seemed to be arguing about something, and then, I saw Prince Jing’s face change greatly, and then Mo Youyou slowly sank.”

Mo Yan felt that Mo Youyou had nothing to do with the Prince at all.

Hearing Mo Yan’s words, Third Madame tightly gripped the rag in her hand and reminded her:

“Yan’er, the emperor mentioned the marriage of your second sister and Prince Jing, but until now there has been no movement in the palace. In the future, you should be careful. Don’t get caught in the middle. When the time comes for your sister

to enter Prince Jings Residence, it would be extremely tough.”

If they wanted to stabilize their position, they must find themselves a powerful backer. Coincidentally, Prince Jing had his eyes on General Mo’s military power, and General Mo also wanted to depend on him.After Mo Yan heard Li Rong’s words, she nodded her head as she agreed, “But Mother, are we just going to let this matter go like this? Isn’t this too easy on that bitch? Second Sister is still lying unconscious on the bed.”

“Your father is still in the army camp, and in a few days, it will be the Imperial Palace’s midnight feast. Thus, he will surely return for a while. During those times that your father is here, you two should be better off.

That Mo Youyou is not someone to be taken lightly. Don’t let her take advantage of you. Once Mother becomes the main wife of the General’s Estate, mother will faultlessly take care of those bitches for you!”

Mo Yan thought of Prince Xiang’s peerlessly handsome face, and said with furrowed brows: “Mother, why did you marry that slut off to Prince Xiang? Your daughter and Prince Xiang had already made a personal engagement long ago but was kicked aside by that slut instead. Your daughter is unsettled!”

“Don’t worry, even if she marries, she would only be a concubine. Prince Xiang’s princess position will always be yours.”

The mother and daughter pair looked at each other and smiled, then left Fragrant Garden together.

At this time, Prince Jing’s Manor was in a much more lively mood than usual. At the entrance, there were two, three-foot-wide stone eagles crouching by the side. Their sharp eyes were like Helian Yi’s.

The vermilion door was wide open, with dozens of men dressed in uniform standing on either side of it. As soon as Mo Youyou got off the carriage, she was immediately appalled by the scene before her and could not help but mutter in her heart,

“Damn. This aura is so heaven-defying.”

Behind her, Helian Yi also alighted from the carriage. The people guarding by the door kneeled to welcome him. Due to the suddenness of things, Mo Youyou unconsciously stepped back. And as a result, she accidentally stepped on Helian Yi’s foot.

A groan came out, as Mo Youyou hastily moved forward, and turned to apologize to Helian Yi: “Sorry about that, Your Royal Highness. I was scared by your men. Did I accidentally step on you? Does it hurt? Come, let me see…”

After saying that, Mo Youyou bent down to open the corner of Helian Yi’s clothes. Helian Yi could see that this woman had done it on purpose! She knew that he could not touch her, he can only grit his teeth in anger, but there was nothing he could do about it.

With a cold snort, he walked past Mo Youyou and headed towards the Manor. Mou Youyou, who was still in the posture of leaning over, rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction:

“Pervert! Violent! Cold-blooded! Ruthless! Hmph, so what if I stepped on you? I wasn’t even that close to you! And I also washed clean till I’m red, tsk!”

Standing up, she turned around and looked at the guards at the door who did not even dare raise their heads. Mo Youyou felt a chill run down her back as she hurriedly followed Helian Yi in.Just as she entered, a man suddenly appeared in front of her. The man wasn’t as tall as Helian Yi, but he was slightly better than the other men. He held an air of arrogance. He had gleaming apricot eyes. Although they weren’t that big, they were remarkably profound. Beneath his towering nose, was a slightly thick lip that naturally rose. He resembled an honest man.

Mo Youyou sized him up from top to bottom. He wore clothes similar to the group of people at the entrance. The only difference was the fabric that seemed to be slightly better than theirs. She lifted her eyes and tilted her head as she looked at the man with an innocent smile.

“Hey handsome brother, it’s our first time meeting, please take care of me.”

The man almost forgot the purpose the Master had told him to do when he was interrupted by Mo Youyou.

“Ninth Miss, I, Wu Shang, am under the orders of the Prince to bring you to the southern courtyard.”

Mo Youyou looked at Wu Shang, and a glint flashed past her eyes. She stood on her toes and glanced at Helian Yi who was getting further and further away from her, then she suddenly spoke to Wu Shang:

“Wu Shang, why don’t you show me around Prince Jing’s Manor? Treat this as a free day trip, and then we’ll go to the southern courtyard?”

Wu Shang took a step back, and said coldly: “I hope that Ninth Miss does not make things difficult for this subordinate.”

“Tch! If not for your good looks, do you think I would be willing to have you accompany me to visit Prince Jing’s Manor? Let’s go! What are you standing there for? To the southern courtyard!”

Not far away, Helian Yi’s mouth could not help but twitch. How could he agree to bring this great Buddha over to the Manor today? When he thought about how Mo Youyou stepped on his boots earlier, Helian Yi felt that his entire body was unwell. Soon, he disappeared from the small path and returned to the Northern Courtyard and ordered people to prepare a warm bath.

After Wu Shang finished making the arrangements for Mo Youyou, he quickly retreated. Mo Youyou lied on the bed alone, planning the future. When she felt thirst, she habitually called out Yue Er’s name.magic

Suddenly sitting up, she looked at the empty room, only to realize that after entering Prince Jing’s Manor, she had not seen Yue Er. After shouting a few times, she still did not hear any reply. Mo Youyou anxiously put on her shoes, jumped off the bed, and ran out.

She circled Prince Jing’s Manor’s for many rounds, and every time she saw a servant, she would ask them if they had seen Yue Er. Just as she was about to give up, a figure not far away caught her attention. Wasn’t that Yue Er?

Yue Er was carrying a basin filled with water, and walking towards her room, Mo Youyou lifted her skirt and quickly ran over. As she ran, she shouted “Yue Er!”

As for Yue Er, who only had just arrived into the southern courtyard, she was sitting in front of Mo Youyou’s hall waiting for her to return.

Seeing Yue Er enter the chamber, Mo Youyou thought that it was the room Helian Yi had arranged for Yue Er, so without hesitation, she pushed the door open and rushed in.

Just as she stepped into the room, a faint fragrance wafted over. Mo Youyou closed her eyes and took a deep breath. It smelled so good.

She searched for the fragrance and found an elegant box. She curiously picked up the box and placed it on the tip of her nose. She took a deep sniff of it and was caught entranced with its aromatic smell. She had forgotten her purpose in coming inside.

Behind the screen behind her, Helian Yi revealed his exceptionally alluring and sturdy upper body. He was sitting in the bath and holding his breath.
