Duan Xiaohe's scalp went numb, and she stood in place in a daze.

When Xia Yu saw the Young Master who looked extremely similar to her, she couldn't help but tease her about how Duan Xiaohe was dressed like a man today. She started to joke around with Mo Jinyuan who was standing beside the Young Master, talking about why the Lord Mo was so free, to actually be messing around with Duan Xiaohe.

Just as he said that, Duan Xiaohe entered.

And that was what happened.

Duan Xiaohe wanted to conceal the fear in her heart, and she tried her best to act as though nothing had happened. However, Mo Jinyuan's poisonous eyes still saw through her fear with a glance, and laughed softly.

"Little He, come over here. My family's young master would like to speak with you."

Xia Yu was shocked, she had already known that this Young Noble was extraordinary, to be able to be called Young Noble by someone with such a status like Mo Jinyuan, then just how noble was this person's identity?

I'm afraid he's also a royal grandson.

It's just that since she's Wang Sun, why does she look so similar to Fujiang Village Duan Family's daughter, Duan Xiaohe?

The few people standing in the courtyard were all looking at Duan Xiaohe, and when Mo Jinyuan saw that she was not moving, he smiled.

"Why didn't you come over? It's not like my family's young master will eat you."

She pursed her lips and walked over to the carriage and lifted the curtain. The carriage was empty; not a single person was inside.

Mo Jinyuan walked to her side, "Are you looking for Jing Xi? Jing Xi was not feeling well. He was resting in an inn in the county. If you want to see her, we'll take you with us when we leave tomorrow? "

Tomorrow?

Were they going to rest here for the night?

As if he had seen through her thoughts, Mo Jinyuan nodded seriously. This house isn't bad. My young master said to stay for the night and try it out. If you really like it, then you should stay for a few more days. "

Stay your ass!

Duan Xiaohe wanted to tear down this house right now, but she did not care about the difference in status, nor about the supremacy of royalty. She lowered her voice and questioned Mo Jinyuan.

"What are you guys doing here?"

Surprise flashed through Mo Jinyuan's eyes, "Naturally, I'm here to play."

"She immediately became angry and rushed over to grab Mo Jinyuan by the collar, gritting her teeth. Don't talk about this. If you like this house, then move it! "If you have nothing else to say, then hurry up and leave. Don't come and disturb my life!"

A sneer came out from beside his ear. Duan Xiaohe's eyebrows twitched, she turned around and looked at the little emperor who was standing at the side without saying a word.

"Interesting." The little emperor took a step towards her. The aura that the emperor gave her caused her to be stunned for a moment.

The little emperor seemed to be very satisfied with the way she was different from others as she dressed in front of him, and wasn't trembling with fear or treading on ice. She was aware of her own identity, and was also aware that Mo Jinyuan's identity yet she dared to be so rough.

"I remember you're called Duan Xiaohe?" The little emperor smirked, but his eyes were ice-cold. I'm Chen Po. "

Chen Po, this is the name of the current emperor.

Duan Xiaohe's mind went blank. Did he reveal her identity in front of him?

Xia Yu was shocked, Duan Xiaohe was grabbing onto the collar of Ming An Prefecture, the son of the assistant minister. She hurried over and pulled Duan Xiaohe over, but before she could say a single word, she heard the Little Emperor speak again.

"Duan Xiaohe, come here."

Dammit!

How could money and power be so loud?

But in terms of authenticity, others could even say that every speck of this Liu Village belonged to him, the little emperor. How could a powerless countryside woman like her possibly hold onto the little emperor's collar and say: "The one who sends me away first is me, and I'm still your big sister. Are you going to talk to me like this?"

Even if she was given ten guts, she wouldn't dare to do so. At most, she would only inwardly howl a few times.

The little Emperor walked a few steps to the side, and Duan Xiaohe followed him. The little Emperor saw the reluctance in her eyes and knew that she was at a distance from him. Just a moment ago, he had thought that she was a little special, but now that he saw her like this, she wasn't too far off from him.

After a cold snort, the little emperor stopped his scrutinizing gaze and proudly raised his chin. He said as if it was a matter of course, "Bring me that painting."

"What the hell?"

The little Emperor's sharp, cold eyes locked on to her face, and his low voice held a note of menace.

"Who did you say?"

Duan Xiaohe looked back at him neither humbly nor arrogantly, but in reality her heart was beating so hard that her ears were about to ring, as if she couldn't hear anything else at all.

"Of course it's the thing you're talking about. This is a country place, and there's no painting you want. "

The little emperor suddenly laughed. He said that a period of time ago, the palace was stolen. Only then did he realize that a portrait was missing.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if word got out that someone stole something from the heavily guarded palace, or was it right under the Emperor's nose? It was a disgrace to the royal family.

The palace was filled with countless treasures, but unfortunately, this portrait could not be lost.

The little Emperor had come this time for this portrait.

Duan Xiaohe clenched her teeth, "If you lost something, you would have to report it to the government. You have so many capable people under your command, why are you looking for a portrait? "I really don't have any portraits here, even if you strip me of this house, I don't have anything that you want."

The little emperor stared straight at her, his eyes brimming with emotions. They changed too quickly, and she could only grasp the sharpness and grief within …

"That portrait was always in the empress dowager's palace. I've never seen what that person looks like. I was her good son for fifteen years to reassure her. Now that I'm in full power, I can't bring myself back to life, but I can at least take a look at it. But now, that portrait has been stolen by someone. "

When Duan Xiaohe heard this, she trembled in fear, and silently cursed Qin Rui's eight generations of ancestors. If she were to investigate Qin Rui, wouldn't she be considered a accomplice? Is the Liu San in danger?

What can we do now? He could only bite to death and never see the painting before!

"I haven't seen any portraits."

The little Emperor's eyes dimmed and his tone dropped a few degrees. But we just came over from your cheap father in Fujiang Village, he said that the portrait was taken from you. "

Duan Xiaohe's tiger body shook, she gritted her teeth and said, "I'll burn the portrait."

"What did you say?"

She stabilized her mind and replied in a neither humble nor haughty manner, "It was burnt. I burned it after I got it back from my father. "

Anger was written all over the little emperor's face, and she suddenly felt a little guilty.

"How dare you!" How dare you!

"She looks very much like me, very much like me. Just look at her, I can already tell what she looks like." Duan Xiaohe anxiously opened her mouth, and looking at the face that was extremely similar to him, she added a sentence with extreme comfort: "You look quite like her as well. "Yeah, it really does look like it."

The little emperor's expression was somewhat absent-minded, but the cold aura emanating from his body had eased up by quite a bit.

"My father said that when a person dies, they become a pile of bones. Life has to go on, there's no need to keep thinking about it …"

"Don't call him father again." The little Emperor coldly interrupted her, ridiculing her, "You and I are one mother and one brother, and your identity is so prestigious. How could you call a eunuch as your father?!"

A clap of thunder suddenly exploded in the clear sky, causing Duan Xiaohe's entire being to darken.

Her face was filled with astonishment. 'You … you … you didn't come up with anything even after a long time had passed.

The little emperor smirked as he walked straight into the hall.

Duan Xiaohe was still standing there, she came over and pulled her, and asked her why her face looked so ugly. She asked who the young master was and what they had said.

Mo Jinyuan stood at the entrance of the hall and called out to Duan Xiaohe, "Young master is hungry, Little He sis, go get some food, it's the same as Jade Food Inn, my young master has always been a picky eater."

Xia Yu thoughtfully said that she would do it for him, and turned to go back to the kitchen. Mo Jinyuan stopped Xia Yu and protected her wife. Mo Jinyuan ran over and pulled Xia Yu behind him, looking like he wanted to fight with Mo Jinyuan.

Duan Xiaohe quickly pulled Liu Da away, and let Xia Yu bring him over to Liu Er's place while she went into the kitchen.

Mo Jinyuan followed her in. Seeing her nimble hands and feet, she said in satisfaction, "Young Master has always been held at the highest position. He may have many things, but he has also lost many things. He is used to acting haughty in front of others because he must stabilize his might as an overlord. The more lonely he is, the more he will not be looked down upon by others. "

Her hands did not stop moving, Mo Jinyuan did not care how much she listened to, and continued to speak.

"That cheap father of yours should have told you before that the one the empress dowager hated the most in her life was probably your mother. Although she had raised her young master under her knee, his days by her side were not easy. You can't imagine how much you have sacrificed to come to this point. Right now, he only has you as his relative. "

Seeing that she still did not have any reaction, Mo Jinyuan sighed, and snatched away the cake that was in her hands, which had yet to take shape. Why are you so unenlightened? As long as you say the word 'young master', you can still do business? Your Fancy Dress in the capital, and your Fujiang Village in the mountain forest that you have bought until now, even if it's just a needle and a blade of grass, if you take it out, it will still be sold for a thousand gold. "

Duan Xiaohe swept a glance at him, her tone was extremely indifferent.

"Is it only because you are his loyal subject that you are persuading me this way? I can take my time with my business, I do business in good faith, there's no need to open such a backdoor. But Lord Mo, you already knew my identity, but there wasn't the slightest reaction. "I don't believe that there's no tricks involved here at all, but, what exactly is it that you're looking for?"

Mo Jinyuan returned the pastries that he had grabbed from the other side of the table to her and let out a long sigh. As an official, it was impossible for one to be loyal without being loyal. However, that loyalty was too deep and made others suspicious. If I were to say what I was looking for, it would probably be to look for a place to stand, for my children and grandchildren to prosper. Aren't you the same? All you want is for Liu San to return safely? "

He pointed to the hall next door and whispered, "If young master is happy, Liu San will be able to return safely, and I will also be able to raise my position and make a fortune. This is the best."
