The next day.
The imperial edict did not come.
However, the matter of Ninth Prince marrying Miss Minister's Mansion was like a gust of wind, instantly spreading through all the streets and alleys of the capital, and everyone knew about it.
Miss, the Ninth Prince has sent over a lot of things, do you want to take a look? Ah Nuo was in the box for a long time, seeing that Mo Qingyan had no reaction at all, he calmly wrote at the table, and carefully asked.
"No need, if you like it, then take it. If you don't, then give it to the other maidservant's wives."
There was a white piece of paper in front of her. It was filled with small words written densely on it, the kind that would make people dizzy just by looking at it.
She was able to remember some of the people she had met in her previous life, as well as some of the things that had happened. There was no lack of people she could use in the future.
In her previous life, she had carefully analyzed these people's family background, preferences, and abilities for Long Tianze.
But she had never thought that she would use these people again in this way.
"Miss, you always stay in seclusion. This isn't the way to go about it." Ah Nuo closed the box and ordered someone to carry it out. He then picked up the porridge bowl and placed it in front of her.
It's only been a few days, but Miss has already lost a lot of weight.
"Don't worry, my intentions have already been conveyed to you. Before the imperial edict from the palace comes out, Ninth Prince will no longer come to find me." As for those who came to fawn on her after hearing the news, she had no need to care about them.
So Long Tianze definitely would not break the engagement. Even if she were to really die, he was afraid that he would not even refuse if Long Tianze carried a corpse back.
In order to gain power, he could be a coward, or he could be unscrupulous.
Thinking about how he had been blind in his previous life, thinking that he was the happiest person in the world. In the end, reality gave her the loudest slap in the face. In one night, she had endured all of the betrayal, and even her life had been taken.
Ridiculous.
"Miss, tomorrow is the day of the garden party. Ninth Prince has sent someone to deliver the invitation, do you want to come with me?"
Seeing Mo Qingyan's expression, Ah Nuo knew that he asked too many questions and quickly replied, "Alright, I will return the invitation."
Mo Qingyan did not speak, her gaze was still fixated on the white paper in front of her. When Ah Nuo was about to leave, she suddenly asked, "Is Noble Heir going tomorrow?"
She was curious too, why would Lin Zifeng's cold demeanour attract any attention? Could it be that just because of the scene of her previous life before her death, she had planted a root in her heart?
Her face was hot, but she did look forward to getting to know him earlier. However, he could not be too friendly, lest he fall into their conversation.
"Miss, which Duke Palace's Noble Heir do you want to know about?"
As Lin Zifeng was the son of a sinner, his reputation as the Noble Heir was also unknown. Therefore, when he heard Mo Qingyan's question, the Ah Nuo did not even think about him.
"Just a few days ago with the dragon …" Halfway through his words, he paused before continuing, "The Noble Heir that followed Ninth Prince to his residence."
"Noble Heir Lin?" Ah Nuo scratched her head. She really did not know about this. Should... Ninth Prince has been bringing him around every time we go out, right? "
"Are you sure?"
Ah Nuo's small face fell, "Miss, how can I be sure of that? I've been watching over you every day, and I'm not some follower of those people. "
"You said that Ninth Prince always brings him along whenever he goes out?"
"Good …" I think so. "
"Go!" Without any hesitation, Mo Qingyan folded the paper on the table and said, "I will keep this card."
"Ah?!" Ah Nuo's mouth was so wide that a goose egg could fit inside, "Are you doing this for that Noble Heir Lin?"
Which song was this?
Even if young miss wanted to throw off the Ninth Prince, she can't use it as a shield!
Everyone in the capital knew who the Noble Heir Lin was. Although he was still the Noble Heir on the surface, his father had his title cut off and his surname taken away because of conspiracy. Everyone who saw him felt as if they had seen a plague. They wished that they could draw a clear line between themselves.
Why would the miss have the thought of lowering himself and approaching the Noble Heir Lin?
"Don't ask too much. Go and prepare." Mo Qingyan secretly thought in his heart about what kind of words she should say when she sees Lin Zifeng tomorrow to prevent him from feeling offended.
In her previous life, other than her family, the one she felt the most guilty about was this man who had risked his life for her.
The next morning, Mo Qingyan sat in front of the copper mirror and started to dress up. From time to time he would ask, "Ah Nuo, do I look good today?"
"Good!" Beautiful! My lady, you have asked me more than ten times! In the entire capital, which young miss can be as good-looking as my young miss! "
"Only your mouth is sweet." Even though he said that, Mo Qingyan was still extremely pleased. Looking at the unparalleled beauty reflected in the mirror, the smile on his lips gradually deepened, "Ah Nuo, you will be leaving the manor with me today."
"Sure." Ah Nuo raised both her hands in agreement. If she could go out and stroll around, she wouldn't want to stay in the palace by herself.
The horse carriage swayed all the way and stopped at a certain place. Mo Qingyan opened the curtain and raised his head, but just as he did so, his pupils suddenly contracted.
In front of the Plum Blossom Tree stood her best sister and her biggest nemesis from her previous life, the woman who gave her a fatal blow.
Chu Rou still wore the light pink dress that she remembered from the past. Her soft and weak appearance caused people to feel pity for her. Seeing Mo Qingyan getting off the car, she smiled at him in greeting.
Mo Qingyan's fingertip pinched his sleeves tightly, but he did not give an impulsive response. With a calm smile, he got off the carriage with the support of the Ah Nuo.
In terms of status, her Minister's Mansion could not compare to her Prime Minister's Mansion, and Chu Rou was the daughter of the current prime minister.
"Miss Mo, do you still remember me? We've met once before this year. " Chu Rou took the initiative to hold Mo Qingyan's hand.
Those who didn't know, from the looks of it, they thought that the two of them were sisters that hadn't seen each other for a long time.
Mo Qingyan didn't like this kind of posturing. In her previous life, there were always scenes like this where there would be people blocking for her.
However, today … She swept her gaze around and did not see He Lanyi's figure. She's not here?
In his previous life, Chu Rou had betrayed her, and the people around her all scattered, and only He Lanyi, who had already married into a woman, could still run away for her, only seeing true love in times of trouble.
"Miss Mo, I heard you fell into the water a few days ago. Mo Qingyan's distancing attitude made Chu Rou a little unhappy. The hand in his sleeve tightened, was she, a mere daughter of the Minister of Rites, trying to put on airs? If that was the case, then the life she had saved would be better off lost!
"There's no longer any problem." Mo Qingyan laughed, and changed his expression into a proper and intimate expression, "Thank you Miss Chu for your concern."
Other than Minister's Mansion, she did not spread the news of her falling into the water. Chu Rou must have definitely heard about it from Long Tianze.
Now that she thought about it, from the beginning of her previous life, these two people had probably hooked up with each other. From the beginning, she was just a fool who had been played by others.
