Chapter 30: Conspiracy

However, very soon he pushed down the emotion in his heart. What he wanted wasn’t a weak woman like this that would collapse at the first blow. A woman that can stand at his side must be able to bear things that ordinary people cannot bear to endure.

After the banquet, Su Qi Qi and Mo Wen Chen returned to Bie Courtyard. Neither of the two spoke, it was quiet.

In the flickering candlelight, flickering between light and dark, Su Qi Qi’s face was a bit gloomy. From the moment she left Su fu, she hadn’t said a word. She kept feeling that her heart was sinking heavily.

She doesn’t want to become enemies with Mo Wen Chen, but she was also afraid her mother would be implicated.

But even if she really gave Mo Wen Chen a helping hand, would it definitely mean that she and her mother continue living? She felt extremely conflicted, her palm was full of sweat.

It was the depths of the winter season, yet she felt extremely hot.

Mo Wen Chen who was sitting to the side was a face of indifference. His facial features exuded a slight atmosphere of cold and detachment, no expression could really be seen. His pupils were serene and deep, his lips pinched. Without a word and without looking at Su Qi Qi, he just leaned at the head of the bed like that.

Just by lifting her head up she could see Mo Wen Chen’s remarkably beautiful face, kneaded keenly and bright at the same time.

Her hand slowly reached into her sleeve. Su Qi Qi softly closed her eyes. A long while later, she opened her eyes again. She knows, she simply didn’t have the means to go against Mo Wen Chen. Not mentioning her own each and every move, probably everything Mo Wen Xuan wants to do, he is also very clear about.

A man like this, who would dare to be his enemy!

Not to mention her own heart has always wanted to help him.

Finally taking that letter from her sleeves, she got up, lightly walked to Mo Wen Chen’s front and placed it in his hand.

At this time, Mo Wen Chen finally hooked his lips, seeming to be smiling, just that the smile was a bit cold.

Causing Su Qi Qi’s heart to sink and sink again.

“Rest assured, I will protect the safety of your mother.” Mo Wen Chen opened the letter, put it on the candle flame and burnt it to ashes. Finally, he slowly opened his mouth, at least giving Su Qi Qi a promise.

Covering the candle flame, an unchanging black chang pao, a slender tall body figure, cold expressionless eyes; this Mo Wen Chen was frightening, carrying an inauspicious and vicious air.

Perhaps he did think of Mo Wen Xuan’s strategy, but when he really saw it, his heart would still hurt.

After all, they blood related brothers with the same father but different mothers.

Cooking beans burning beanstalks, the beans in the cauldron sob.  They were originally born of the same root, why must they cook so urgently.

This is a 7 steps poem. Expanded paraphrase of the poem is “putting beans into the cauldron to cook, the fuel that’s being burned below are bean stalks. The beans in the cauldron are very sad, they were originally both born of the same root, why must they rush to kill each other? It is an allusion to brothers hurting one another, one trying to harm the other, the other being harmed.

A stone on Su Qi Qi’s heart finally fell down. She believed Mo Wen Chen can carry out what he said and also believes he has this power.

She collected up all the emotions and set up the bed. Su Qi Qi prepared to rest on the chair but when she lifted her head, she saw that Mo Wen Chen had already laid down on the long chair, his eyes lightly closed.

Her heart gradually cleared, an inexplicable excitement rose in her heart. It was also a night of good sleep.
