Chapter 42 - Recovering from the Storm
Mo Ling gladly accepted Ou Yang Yin Shun's jade Xiao Xiao, but she rejected Dong Cheng Yu's jade pendant. At this moment, even she didn't know the reason.
"It's not expensive, I view Third Miss as my soulmate, and tomorrow morning I will set out for East Side." Dong Cheng Yu placed the jade pendant back into Mo Ling's hands. This jade pendant could be obtained from a bank that had the same symbol as the pendant.
Dong Cheng Yu is leaving?
Didn't he come to Mo Family to choose a concubine?
Why did he suddenly have to leave?
Seeing the doubt on Mo Ling's face, Dong Cheng Yu helplessly explained, "Royal father is so sick, royal brother wants me to go back. You must promise me, you can't marry Yin Xuan Sheng, wait for my return. "
Of course, Mo Ling would not marry Yin Xuan Sheng.
"Fourth Prince, take care." Mo Ling did not reject anymore and accepted the jade pendant that Dong Cheng Yu gave her. She was lacking in money and also needed helpers.
Dong Cheng Yu and Mo Ling sat for a while and then left.
That night, Cheng Bu Shi woke up.
"Who are you?" Cheng Bu Shi looked at Mo Ling warily. Her weak body had shrunk into a ball, and only her eyes flashed with the light of not admitting defeat.
Mo Ling was inexplicably attracted by her pair of eyes, but she remained unperturbed on the surface, and said, "Who I am is not important, and since you're already awake, you should leave. Your father and sister have already come once."
Not wanting to involve other people's business, Mo Ling did not want to bother with the woman's matter.
"Don't, don't chase me away." Cheng Bu Shi said. She did not want to go back, if she went back, she would die. She could feel that Mo Ling had no ill intentions towards her, and for some reason, she felt that Mo Ling would give her a way out.
Cheng Bu Shi was not the trash Cheng Yu Xin spoke of. Her mother was originally a little girl from the Cheng Residence, and was chosen by Cheng Wei Shan as his concubine. She was once very spoiled, but in the end, she somehow died.
Mrs. Cheng was jealous of Cheng Bu Shi's mother, so she would make things difficult for Cheng Bu Shi. Cheng Yuxin was also jealous that Cheng Bu Shi was smarter than her and tried to harm her again and again.
"Give me a way out, and I'll repay you for what you did." Cheng Bu Shi lifted her head, her eyes filled with the desire to live. She knew that the girl in front of her could save her.
Only now did Mo Ling clearly see that on Cheng Bu Shi's right side of her face was a poisonous sore.
"The reason." Mo Ling never wanted someone who was useless, nor would she easily trust anyone like she did before.
Cheng Bu Shi looked at Mo Ling with a determined gaze, and said, "There isn't any right now, but there will be one in the future."
Smiling faintly, Mo Ling admired Cheng Bu Shi, if she could help her, she would definitely be a good helper, but if it was really just that …
Closing his eyes, Mo Ling felt a tinge of hesitation. A second Mo Rou absolutely could not appear by her side.
Absolutely not!
"If you have the ability to deal with the Cheng Family, you can stay. Otherwise, do as you please. I won't leave you any trouble." As Mo Ling spoke, it was getting late. She closed her eyes, not wanting to continue the topic.
Cheng Bu Shi turned her head to look at Mo Ling. Her body was releasing a strange kind of magic, causing Cheng Bu Shi to believe that she could give her a way out.
The Cheng family couldn't wait for her death, who would come looking for her?
After making up his mind to follow Mo Ling, Cheng Bu Shi closed his eyes.
The next morning, Mo Ling woke up to see the hot dishes on the table and Cheng Bu Shi, who was waiting for her to get up.
The poison on the right side of his face was a little frightening, and a strange look flashed past Mo Ling's calm eyes. To live with such a face, how much courage would it take?
"Good morning, Miss." Cheng Bu Shi brought the clear water in front of Mo Ling.
Mo Ling suddenly realised that she should have someone like this by her side. This Cheng Bu Shi was indeed much more suitable to be her servant.
Unfortunately, her identity was a thorny problem.
The Cheng Family will definitely use this matter to continue finding trouble with the Mo Family.
"How much do you know about Saints?" Mo Ling asked. Perhaps, she could hear some information about the Saints from Cheng Bu Shi's mouth.
Hearing that, Cheng Bu Shi pondered for a moment, then began to narrate what she knew. Against Mo Ling's expectations, Cheng Bu Shi actually knew more than she had imagined.
Five years ago, the emperor was very sick, so Empress Cheng Fei Yan took this opportunity to take control of the imperial court. Whether it was Crown Prince Yin Xuan Miao or the other princes, they were all puppets in the hands of the empress. Furthermore, the home of the Crown Prince's concubine was the empress's most heartfelt supporter.
During the five years that Cheng Fei Yan had been in power, there were many wreckage of court officials and princes Yin.
Right now, the Cheng family and the empress dowager were dominating a region within the Saints, and no one dared to offend them.
"It seems that you're not completely useless." Mo Ling said.
Mo Ling's heart slanted towards the idea of keeping Cheng Bu Shi by her side.
Boom! *
A few senior guards from the Mo Family rushed in like a swarm of bees, surrounding Mo Ling who was having her breakfast.
Her delicate eyebrows knitted together slightly as Mo Ling raised her gaze. Seeing the fiendish looking guards, before she could even open her mouth, Cheng Bu Shi had already rushed to the front of Mo Ling. She spread open her arms and maliciously asked, "What are you guys trying to do?"
"Scram." The guard leader raised his leg and kicked Cheng Bu Shi.
Mo Ling's arm swept across the table, and the tea cup on the table struck the guard leader's raised knee, causing him to hug his own knee in pain.
"Next time, if you casually make a move in front of me, I'll cripple your legs." Both of Mo Ling's eyes were filled with ruthlessness. What Mo Ling hated the most was bullying servants like this, as she had seen and learnt a lesson every time in her previous life.
"Capture him and bring him to the Family Head." Guard Commander endured the fear in his heart and shouted.
They had the numbers advantage, Mo Ling had never thought of resisting.
"No need to do anything, I'll leave by myself." Mo Ling slowly stood up, raised the corner of his mouth and stared at the guard leader, then lifted his leg and walked out.
With just a single glance, the leader of the guards felt his entire body tremble.
Mo Ling was brought to the Family Head's study. Before she even entered, she heard Mo Ling Yuan's tearful complaints.
"Daddy, they are all third sisters. This Purple-Gold Furnace was given to me by my third sister, and the silver was taken away by her."
Mo Ling rolled her eyes in her heart, this Mo Ling Yuan was really shameless.
Only after such a long time did he realize that the Purple-Gold Furnace was fake. This Mo Yi was really stupid.
After tidying his clothes, Mo Ling pushed open the door to the study room. With an indifferent expression and a standard smile, Mo Ling walked in elegantly. The sunlight behind him shone on her body, giving her a faint glow.
Upon seeing Mo Ling, Mo Ling Yuan crawled up from the ground and rushed towards him, as if she wanted to kill him. Mo Ling dodged skillfully, easily dodging Mo Ling Yuan's movements, and crashed into the door. Bang!
Just then, a strong gust of wind suddenly appeared behind Mo Ling, a powerful force was rushing towards Mo Ling …
