Chapter 15 - How Can She Come

The next day, before the sky was completely bright, the Prime Minister's Estate was already bustling with noise and excitement.

The kitchen was the first place where the commotion started.

The cook and cook had intended to make breakfast for the master of the house, but as soon as they entered the kitchen they found it empty, even the food they had prepared the night before had disappeared.

They questioned each other, then the servants in the other courtyards, and then shouted for the thieves.

The kitchen was their responsibility, and now that they had been looted, if the authorities blamed them, they wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.

They found the housekeeper and pushed each other off duty, accusing each other of slacking yesterday and not keeping watch.

The other servants in the mansion would not go to the kitchen when they had nothing better to do. After all, every yard had its own small kitchen. If the lord wanted to eat in the middle of the night, he could make some for himself.

The butler naturally knew this, so the first thing he thought of was who the criminal was.

He filtered everything in the manor and felt that everyone was suspicious, that no one was a problem.

At that moment, a gust of cold wind blew past. The chef could not help but rub his arm and mutter, "Did he cause a ghost?"

With that sentence, both the butler and the cook were stunned.

They felt that this made sense.

Because yesterday the ladies had their faces shaved by the sudden growth of plants.

According to the people present, the peony flower seemed to have become a spirit. Not only did it purposefully attack the Madam and Second Miss, it was even cut off instantly, causing the Madam to lose her composure.

When something strange happens, there must be a demon.

So there really was something strange in this mansion? The steward and the others looked at each other, then decided to report the matter to the prime minister and ask the mages to eliminate the demon.

The butler told the chef and the kitchen to stop talking about this matter as he quickly rushed to Madame Prime Minister's courtyard.

However, when he arrived, he was told that the two masters hadn't gotten up yet and wanted him to wait.

He was immediately confused, the Prime Minister and Madame Prime Minister did not sleep late last night, and the two of them had even agreed to send the Second Young Miss to the poetry meet, how could they not be up yet?

At this time, Mo Jingyuan walked into the courtyard and asked from afar, "Gui mama, have mother and father not woken up yet?"

She had already come here once before, and because the poetry meet was held in the Imperial Protector Princess Palace, it was somewhat far from her. Thus, she had already agreed with the Prime Minister that he would bring her there.

But today, for some reason, he had yet to wake up.

"Replying to Second Miss, I am indeed still awake." Gui mama was also helpless. Normally, how could these two people not pay up?

"No matter, go and help me rush them. If you delay any longer, it will be too late." Mo Jingyuan frowned and urged.

The butler also agreed, "Gui mama, please go and urge them. This matter cannot be delayed."

Gui mama hesitated, "This servant does not dare, that is the old master and his wife …"

At this critical juncture, the Gui mama was actually still trying to shirk his responsibility, causing Mo Jingyuan to be unable to sit still.

She pushed Gui mama away and said anxiously: "Alright, if I let you go, you can go. If you delay my business, I'll skin you alive."

The Gui mama had no choice but to go inside the house to get someone.

Not long after, there was a scream from inside, and the room fell into chaos.

"Ah, how can my face be like this!"

"Hurry up and get Dr. Zhang over here, quick!"

Madame Prime Minister's furious voice made Mo Jingyuan's heart thump. She didn't care about the formalities as she pushed open the door and walked in.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

Unexpectedly, before he could even enter the inner room, he was kicked out of the Madame Prime Minister.

"Get out of here, all of you!"

At the same time Mo Jingyuan was chased out, the Prime Minister was pushed in by the Madame Prime Minister.

"Alright, that's it. It's just an injury. Once Doctor Zhang arrives, we'll be done for if we treat him properly."

The Prime Minister was also upset. It was a rare day for him to rest. He had originally wanted to take a good rest, but his wife ended up causing trouble.

"Father, what's wrong with mother?" Mo Jingyuan stepped forward to inquire, but in her heart, she was worrying about her own matters.

"It's fine, you don't have to care." When the Prime Minister saw his beloved daughter, he remembered about the poetry meet and immediately said, "Let's go, father will send you to the Imperial Protector Princess Palace, your matters cannot be delayed."

Mo Jingyuan pretended to look around the house with concern, and then pretended to hesitate. Under the gaze of the Prime Minister, he followed the Prime Minister and left.

Of course, before she left, she forgot to instruct the little girl who was standing at the side, "Quickly go and look after your mother so that she won't hurt herself. Also, prepare some food. Mother should be hungry as well."

Only after the little girl nodded in agreement did she truly leave and follow the Prime Minister's footsteps.

Seeing such a filial daughter, the Prime Minister was very satisfied. He felt that giving up Mo Xiyan and giving his all to nurture Mo Jingyuan was the smartest decision he had made.

Thinking of this, the gaze he looked at Mo Jingyuan with became even more joyous.

When Madame Prime Minister was making a ruckus here, Mo Xiyan was eating breakfast with Qing Qing.

Yesterday's loot was enough for her to eat for three or four days.

She was eating happily when she heard the noise coming from the other side. It made her feel even happier.

Of course, she wisely chose not to observe the scene. She wasn't stupid, she knew that she had to protect herself.

Plus, she was going to be prepared to attend the poetry meet as well.

From the original owner, he knew that the poetry meet was organized by the Imperial Protector Princess. Of course, this was only a public stunt, and the real purpose of this poetry meet was to increase the chances of young boys and girls getting to know each other.

Mo Jingyuan always showed off in the poetry meet, and her reputation and beauty was the main reason why she added points to it.

As for the original owner, Imperial Protector Princess would also send her a Please paste at the beginning. After all, the first daughter of the Prime Minister was considered the first in the entire capital.

However, the original owner had already taken pictures of herself. Furthermore, she didn't even have a decent piece of clothing, so how could she have the face to participate in such an event?

Thus, after a long time, Imperial Protector Princess did not send a single Please paste to her. It was only when she sent a single Please paste to Mo Jingyuan, that she mentioned this as a greeting.

This time, perhaps Mo Jingyuan really wanted to strike a blow at the original owner, and got Imperial Protector Princess to send a separate Please paste to the original owner.

Mo Xiyan played with the Please paste with its golden edges and laughed coldly, "Mo Jingyuan, this time, I want to see who exactly will be the last one laughing."

Thinking about it here, she did not waste any more time, and directly carried Qing Qing and climbed out of the wall, leaving Prime Minister's Estate through the back door.

She first went to the pawnshop to pawn a few pieces of furniture and jewelry, then went to the clothing store, bought a set of decent clothes, and finally hired a horse carriage. Finally, she headed back to the Imperial Protector Princess Mansion.

Mo Jingyuan had already reached the Imperial Protector Princess Palace. Due to the delay in time, most of the famous women had already arrived.

She walked between them with her customary smile and began to chat with them.

Just as they were chatting, someone called out softly, "Do any of you know which mansion that lady is from? It's really too beautiful. "

Mo Jingyuan was startled, she turned to look in the direction they were pointing, and her expression immediately stiffened, "Mo Xiyan … How could she come? "
