Chapter 23 - Meeting without knowing each other

"I've let the fourth prince down. This Old Third has lost his mother since he was young. He's a little difficult to control, so he likes to cause trouble for her father."

Dressed in a purplish-gold luxurious robe, with golden hairpin steps, earrings and bracelets, with no trace of time on her fair and white skin, Mo Rou sat in the middle as if she was a noble woman. With just a few words, Mo Yi's awkwardness was greatly resolved, and everyone thought that Mo Ling did not know his limits.

The instant he raised his eyes, a thought struck his mind. The Fourth Prince Mo Rou was referring to was actually him!

The Fourth Prince of the East China, a good friend of Mo Ling's.

Back then, when they first met, Dong Cheng Yu was only twelve years old. Now, twelve years had passed and he had actually become so beautiful.

Her faint eyebrows were now as thick as ink. They were inserted diagonally into her temples. Her amorous phoenix eyes were bright and spirited. Her tall nose cut her face in two. The ratio was just right. His bronze skin added a bit of a man's charm.

The little boy who had always surrounded him and called him Big Sister had grown up now. The scenes from the past repeated themselves, Mo Ling only felt that the various feelings in his heart were mixed and indescribable.

Seeing the look in Mo Ling's eyes, Dong Cheng Yu felt that it was strange. A flash of surprise, and an effort to control her emotions. In his impression, he and this Mo Mansion did not know each other, but the feeling he got from her was that of an old friend reuniting with one another.

"How rude." Mo Ling Yuan looked at Mo Ling, who was staring at him with fixed eyes, and spoke up in disdain, "Fourth Prince has praised you, but you don't even know your surname.

Mo Ling Yuan's voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for everyone present to hear.

Mo Ling retracted her gaze and looked at Mo Ling Yuan's face. Just this gaze alone was enough to scare Mo Ling Yuan.

"Second Sister means that the fourth prince is rude? Or are you saying that praising me is a loss of face? " Mo Ling's mocking gaze pierced Mo Ling Yuan's face like needles.

"You." Mo Ling Yuan was so angry that she could not find the words to refute. No matter what she said, it was wrong. She was so angry that her pale face gradually turned red.

"Alright, you two sisters are really not on the same page." Mo Rou started to reprimand them, and used her eyes to warn the two of them.

stopped the verbal battle between him and Mo Ling, and he turned to look at Dong Cheng Yu. Back then, when she was still's servant, he had met this Dong Cheng Yu before, and thought that he liked his, and said that he would marry Mo Ling when he grew up.

Thus, Mo Rou did not like Dong Cheng Yu. Due to his status, she had no choice but to be courteous to him.

Since Dong Cheng Yu was already at the appropriate age for marriage, and that was why he had the intention of marrying the Mo Family, he asked Dong Cheng Yu to come here with a generous gift to congratulate the old woman on his birthday and pick a suitable woman from the Mo Family to marry his.

Mo Rou was ambitious, so she would not reject any nation's offer to the Mo Family. If you want to get married, then show your sincerity.

Mo Rou kept on talking about what happened back then, but Dong Cheng Yu's interest was average. His gaze had been intentionally or unintentionally falling on Mo Ling, causing Mo Ling Yuan, who was at the side, to go crazy with jealousy.

After an unknown period of time, Mo Rou told them to disperse, and left Dong Cheng Yu alone there, saying that she wanted to discuss the marriage with them.

"Mo Ling Yan, stop." said arrogantly, ever since Mo Ling Yuan had torn off her face with Mo Ling at the Ancestral Hall, so she did not need to continue pretending to be her big sister anymore.

Mo Ling stopped and turned, looking at Mo Ling Yuan with a lazy look, as if she did not even place him in her eyes.

Not knowing why, every time he met Mo Ling's eyes, Mo Ling Yuan felt an inexplicable sense of guilt. No matter what she said, Mo Ling's eyes were always so calm, so indifferent.

"Hur hur." Mo Ling sneered, Mo Ling Yuan still wanted to marry Dong Cheng Yu?

Mo Ling clearly looked like she was in dire straits, but she always gave off a feeling of superiority, making Mo Ling Yuan feel extremely unhappy.

She must be taught a lesson.

"It's really going against you, I don't dare to touch you, but Madame Rou dares." Mo Ling Yuan said with a sinister face. Behind her, two more mama suddenly appeared, one of them the Zhao mama who was giving her a message.

My god, he came prepared.

Mo Ling did not want to make a move again, since she had already set her eyes on her. However, she was destined to suffer a loss if she didn't make a move.

Just as the two mama were about to reach Mo Ling's side, Dong Cheng Yu appeared at the critical moment.

"What are you doing?" Dong Cheng Yu's magnetic voice came out, immediately making him look like a different person.

"Fourth Prince." Mo Ling Yuan said with a smile, her face was filled with warmth, as though her eyes were dripping water. Then, her gaze darkened, as she said with slight grievance, "This little sister of mine is too stubborn. Fourth Prince, please help me persuade Third Sister. "

Mo Ling felt her stomach churning, the disgusting feeling was especially intense. This Mo Ling Yuan, she was really good at acting, really was a white lotus.

Just that, Mo Ling did not have the mind to act with her, and seeing that she was entangled with Dong Cheng Yu, he was able to escape.

Mo Ling directly returned to her own courtyard, and comfortably leaned against the tree to enjoy the cool air. A moment later, a silhouette appeared before her.

"You knew I would come?" Dong Cheng Yu looked at the content Mo Ling under the tree, and said.

Mo Ling shook her head. She was not an immortal, how would she know that nothing had happened?

The corner of her mouth raised with a slight smile. The Mo Ling before her immediately brought up a certain memory in the depths of Dong Cheng Yu's memories;

Sister Mo Ling!

Dong Cheng Yu shouted in his heart. Then he shook his head. No, no. The Mo Ling Yan in front of him, was only twenty-eight years old, how could she possibly be Mo Ling?

Only, it was very similar.

When she looked again, Mo Ling's expression had already disappeared.

He was wrong.

He was already an adult, but he was still unwilling to take a wife. It was only because he could not forget that beautiful figure.

Mo Ling was the person in his heart, he had promised to marry her.

That year, Dong Cheng Yu was twelve years old and came to Mo Mansion with Eastern City of East China to ask for medicine. As the Family Head, he fell in love with Mo Ling at first sight and had already developed deep feelings for him at such a young age. Not long after he returned to his country, he heard the news that Mo Ling had died from poison. He did not even attend Mo Ling's funeral.

The time he spent with Mo Ling in the Mo Mansion was the best memory he had in his entire life. His royal brother, Dongcheng Wei, had secretly sent people to investigate but didn't find anything.

This time, he came to the Mo Mansion to investigate what happened that year. The marriage proposal was only a cover, in his heart, there was only Mo Ling, no one else.

Meeting an old friend but not knowing him. This was a type of pain, and also a form of torture. As calm as Mo Ling, she knew that even if she revealed her identity, she would not necessarily be able to obtain Dong Cheng Yu's trust.
