Chapter 56 - Canine Biting
If Mo Ling were to confess, you can say that this Third Miss has nothing to do with him. But Mo Ling Yuan could not, her grandfather's power was not small, so Mo Family could not easily offend him.
Therefore, Mo Rou wanted to protect Mo Ling Yuan.
Even though Mo Ling Yuan was useless, she couldn't lose face for the Mo Family just because of her.
"Madame Rou, what do you mean by that?" Cheng Fei Yan was unhappy, was Mo Rou going to turn hostile?
Mo Rou smiled and said, "Esteemed Empress, Ling Yuan was beaten to such a state, the authenticity of this confession is really suspicious."
What do you mean?
Who would have thought that Mo Rou would go back on her words. Cheng Fei Yan's expression was extremely ugly, her slender fingers were tightly wrapped around the armrest of the dragon throne, and her gaze fell on Mo Rou's face, full of suspicion.
Her phoenix eyes drooped down, and instead of looking straight into Cheng Fei Yan's eyes, he only looked at the bridge of her nose. From her pursed lips and drooping lips, Mo Rou could tell that she was extremely angry.
But unfortunately, she couldn't be afraid.
This was related to the Mo Family's reputation and interests.
"Esteemed empress, I don't mean anything. Chenopterygium is your niece, this Ling Yuan is also my Mo Mansion's child. I know her character the best. She wouldn't be able to do something like poisoning someone's life. "Right now, people are being tortured to the point where they are completely unconscious, unable to testify. This matter is not urgent at this point in time."
A cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as Mo Ling lowered his head to listen to the low mutters of the two people above. Indeed, in front of such a person, there was no such thing as eternal cooperation or friendship. There were only eternal benefits.
A dog biting a dog?
Beautiful!
"How dare you!" Cheng Fei Yan was furious, there had never been anyone who dared to speak to him like that, even Mo Rou would not do!
Hearing this, Mo Rou's face flashed with a trace of displeasure. She stood up and looked at Cheng Fei Yan with raised eyes, "Please calm your anger Empress, even if Ling Yuan has killed someone, it should be left to my Mo Mansion to deal with it. For hundreds of years, the Mo Mansion stood outside of the four nations and was not controlled by any one nation. If Saints wants to set a precedent, she also has to ask my Mo Mansion if we agree with it. "
Heh!
"What does Madame Rou mean?" Cheng Fei Yan opened her mouth and spoke, each word seemed to be squeezed out from the gaps between her teeth, "This matter requires an explanation to the Cheng Palace, if not, my Saints will not agree."
"Madame Rou, save me." As soon as he raised his head to look at Mo Rou, Mo Ling Yan asked for help.
Hearing Mo Ling Yuan's voice, Cheng Fei Yan and Mo Rou looked towards Mo Ling Yuan at the same time.
"Ling Yuan, did you kill Chenopterygium?" Mo Rou glared at Mo Ling Yuan fiercely.
Mo Ling Yuan was surprised, she immediately shook her head and denied.
Just then, a key person's proof of identity was brought in. She was a servant girl from Chenopterygium, the girl who was in charge of bathing the Chenopterygium that day.
Seeing who it was, Mo Ling Yuan's face changed, a look of deep fear in her eyes. How is this possible? This girl was clearly dead, how could she appear again?
"This servant is Chenopterygium's maid. On the day of Chenopterygium's death, this servant remembered that Miss Mo had added a pill to Chenopterygium's bath water, saying that it would increase the fragrance of the concubine's body, but who would have known, that it was poison." The maidservant explained everything that had happened that day.
However, the Miss Mo she was referring to was Mo Ling, not the one who poisoned him.
Seeing her accusation towards Mo Ling, Mo Ling Yuan's heart immediately sank back into her stomach.
"Oh?" Mo Rou and Cheng Fei Yan both turned to look at Mo Ling who was standing at the same time, "Mo harmed Chenopterygium?"
The other one crawled on the ground and said yes.
After Mo Ling heard this, she faintly smiled and took a step forward.
"Empress, Madame Rou, this maidservant said that this commoner poisoned my daughter to kill Chenopterygium. Can you ask him a few questions?"
Cheng Fei Yan's eyes flashed a strange look, she looked at Mo Rou, but did not stop him.
She wouldn't be able to play any tricks!
"Young lady, you said that you clearly remember that I was the one who poisoned it. In that case, can you clearly see the color of the clothes that I wore that day?"
"Pink."
"Then do you see the pill I gave you clearly?"
"A black pill the size of a bean."
"Then what do I have on my head?"
"Since you saw that I was the one who poisoned them, why didn't you come out to the prince's mansion to identify them?" Furthermore, why didn't I see you that day when something happened to Chenopterygium? "
Mo Ling's aura was overbearing and a series of questions followed. The servant girl had no way of resisting them.
"You're lying!" Mo Ling's tone suddenly turned cold, her cold eyes were like sharp blades as they landed on the servant girl's face, pricking her and causing her to almost be unable to open her eyes.
"No, I'm not lying." The maidservant trembled as she spoke.
In comparison, Mo Ling was still as calm as before, other than the look in her eyes being slightly cold.
"Madame Rou, we know who is your favorite person in pink clothes. Empress knew very well that she had not been poisoned by any ordinary poison, but rather a forbidden medicine of the Mo Family. This medicine, after killing a person, would turn him into a Death Soldier with boundless power. If you don't believe me, you can ask the prince. "
Mo Ling said. Did Mo Rou want to push her out?
Dream on!
Only the Family Head had Forbidden Medicine, and the Mo Family was well-known to all as trash, so even the ingredients were not clear, so how could he refine the Forbidden Medicine for the Mo Family?
If he still believed that she had poisoned Chenopterygium, then this medicine must have been given to him by someone from Mo Family!
It affected the whole body!
On the other hand, Mo Ling Yuan was different. Although her looks and status were inferior to Mo Ling Xuan, she was the best in the younger generation of Mo Family in terms of alchemy!
Moreover, pink clothes were Mo Ling Yuan's favorite. Even now, she was wearing a pink dress.
Secondly, abandon the car to be a bodyguard, and push Mo Ling Yuan out!
Mo Rou instantly felt a "weng" sound in her head, the flames of anger ignited her internal organs, she wished that she could blind Mo Ling and cut off her tongue.
Cheng Fei Yan seemed to have caught on to something, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, waiting for Mo Rou to give her an explanation.
If he could satisfy her, she could just drop the matter. If she wasn't satisfied, she could have a fair and square reason to make trouble for the Mo Family.
For the first time, Mo Rou felt that she was stuck in a dilemma. She had wanted to borrow Cheng Fei Yan's hand to get rid of Mo Ling, but in the end, she was led by Mo Ling. If she was not careful, she would implicate the entire Mo Family. She understood once again that if she did not get rid of Mo Ling, then she would definitely become a disaster in the future.
In the current situation, what choice did she have?
Continue getting rid of Mo Ling, or... Abandoning a car to be a marshal?
