The next morning, I slept late last night. When the servants called the masters to wake up, it was already late. By the time Mo Qingyan woke up, five days had already passed.
The sky had already started to brighten. Mo Qingyan had originally wanted to accompany Jiang Wan and the old lady to have a good chat. Only, he never thought that Chu Rou would actually come to the General's Mansion.
"Miss, the madame is calling you to the living room." When the servant came in to deliver the message, Mo Qingyan had just finished his breakfast.
"The living room?" Mo Qingyan frowned.
"Who is in the mansion?" Ah Nuo took over Mo Qingyan's conversation and asked, the little girl did not know of Mo Qingyan's relationship with him.
He only answered truthfully, "Yes, Miss Chu from the Prime Minister's Mansion have come over. She even brought a gift, saying that she is a close friend of the young mistress and that she has come specifically to see the old mistress. "
"A close friend?" Mo Qingyan couldn't help but sneer, she would actually put a bit of gold on her own face. Even the Ah Nuo felt that this lie was too clumsy.
"I understand, go and tell the madame." Just say that I will go over right now! " No matter what, he had to consider General's Mansion's face. Therefore, Mo Qingyan had to see Chu Rou today.
"Miss, what do you think the Miss Chu of Prime Minister's Mansion has in mind? "Why is it running towards you again and again?"
When the Ah Nuo saw the maidservant leave, he asked about the doubts in his heart. There was even a hint of contempt in her tone. "Logically speaking, young miss is still recognized as a candidate for the Ninth Royal Concubine."
"Why doesn't she mind at all?" The Ah Nuo no longer had any good impressions of Chu Rou, ever since she had schemed against him time and time again.
When he mentioned her at this moment, he wasn't in a good mood either.
Mo Qingyan laughed faintly: "Ninth Prince is only a prince now, what if I lose?"
Mo Qingyan was also stupid, he didn't understand this logic in his previous life. That was why he had become the chess piece in their hands. Chu Rou was different.
If not for the fact that they had always been extremely cautious, in the end, they would have told Mo Qingyan the truth. Mo Qingyan was afraid that even he did not know how he ended up like this.
"So this Miss Chu actually had such malicious intentions!" Under Mo Qingyan's advice, the Ah Nuo easily understood the intention of Chu Rou's actions.
She had schemed against miss for the rest of her life. If he lost, the young miss would have to sacrifice her life. If he lost, it would be a gift for her.
"How can she be so scheming at such a young age?" The Ah Nuo said angrily, but Mo Qingyan only smiled. She pulled Ah Nuo's hand, shook her head slightly, and pointed to her ears.
Ah Nuo immediately shut his mouth and began to dress Mo Qingyan up with all his might.
In her heart, she was also holding back a breath. She must let miss compare that Chu Rou to him.
Inside the hall, Mo Qingyan was late.
"Grandmother, Eldest Aunt, Second Aunt, Mother." Mo Qingyan first paid his respects to each of his elders, then turned his gaze to the person who had come uninvited.
"Miss Chu, how come Miss Chu has the time to visit your General's Mansion today?" Mo Qingyan clearly had a smile on his face, but his eyes seemed to have ice in them.
"Yan, why must we split up like this? Isn't she already a good sister? " When Chu Rou saw that Mo Qingyan wanted to embarrass him in front of the crowd, he hurriedly got down from his seat and held Mo Qingyan's hand.
"I was just thinking that you will follow your mother back to your parents' home. "He might not be used to it, but he has thought about the fact that he hasn't come to visit the old lady and the two general's wives in a long time. That's why he took the initiative to visit us."
Chu Rou explained, showing her gentleness and magnanimity, while secretly ridiculing Mo Qingyan. This place was after all, her General's Mansion, and was merely the home of her mother.
"Miss Chu, I do not know how long it has been since you last came here." Mo Qingyan took his hand out from hers, his gaze unmoved.
"Previously, my grandmother only met you a few times, but today, you suddenly came to visit. Even if you really want to be friends, you should at least send someone to hand over your name scroll first. "
"The people of the capital all praise the Miss Chu for his understanding of books and logic, how can he barge in here so stiffly? "It doesn't seem like something a young lady of a family can do."
Mo Qingyan did not plan to give her face in front of all these people, so she was not in the mood to act with Chu Rou. Chu Rou never thought that Mo Qingyan would actually give him no face at all.
He gritted his teeth, so much so that the smile on his face almost disappeared.
"Yan, what are you saying? I was just worried about you. "
"Is Miss Chu joking? Let alone the fact that we are not familiar with each other, we do not know how you called out the word Yan. Just because you're worried about me, what can I do at my own grandmother's house? "
"Is Miss Chu's words provoking the relationship between me, Grandmother and my two aunts?" Mo Qingyan looked at Chu Rou and said with a cold smile.
Lifting their heads to take a look, they sure enough saw the faces of those from General's Mansion. In his heart, he hated Mo Qingyan to death. Wasn't Mo Qingyan normally so stupid in the past?
Why was she so amazing right now? She seemed to doubt her own intentions with every word she said. Even if others couldn't tell what was wrong, they could still tell now.
"Miss Chu, did you come here today to see this old one or do you have other intentions?" Chu Rou wanted to continue to explain himself, but the old lady started to talk.
Naturally, she would side with her own granddaughter. From the looks of the current situation between the two of them, how could it be that they were like sisters? Furthermore, her own daughter had a stern expression from the moment she saw Chu Rou. How could she not understand?
"Madame, this junior came here on the orders of my parents." I hope that the Old Madam does not misunderstand anything, maybe the Yan sisters listened to someone else and misunderstood me. "
This time, Chu Rou did not dare to have any more thoughts, and immediately explained. However, this time, no one took her words to heart.
"Since you are here to see this old one, I hope that Miss Chu can tell Prime Minister Chu that my body is strong and healthy. Even though my two sons and my husband are at the border, my Jiang Family is not without people! "
The old mistress' tone was sharp. One must know that the imperial government still needed Jiang Family to guard the borders. He would have to rely on his Jiang Family to rescue them soon enough.
As such, the madame was confident. Chu Rou obviously knew of all of these, upon seeing that he would not be able to obtain any benefits from this place, he immediately took his leave.
