As the fine wine and delicious dishes were placed on the table, the fates of the three women intertwined together in that instant.
"Cheers for our successful cooperation in the future." Mo Qingyan raised the wine cup in his hand, and looked at the two women outside the two of them as he smiled charmingly.
"Cheers!" The ceramic cups collided with each other. A few of the wine spilled out and the rest entered his stomach.
Moonlight stealthily hid behind the dark clouds and looked at the three girls sitting around the table. No matter who it was, they were definitely one in a million.
They were clearly three women who looked as gentle as water, but in their hearts, they were each more vicious than the other.
No, perhaps it was malice towards the person who hated him. To the people they loved, they were all as gentle as water.
And they had this common enemy — the man who held the highest power in the country.
"Say, if he knew that the three of us were scheming against him, wouldn't he be unable to eat well?" Mo Qingyan smiled, looking extremely friendly.
"With his character, he probably wouldn't even respect the three of us." High Lord continued, his eyes full of mockery.
In that man's heart, there was only power and money. He had said it himself: a woman is just a toy added to a flower.
"It looks like High Lord understands him even better." The three of them looked at each other, then burst out laughing.
Mo Qingyan had returned, and he had returned with Imperial Concubine Tao. This news had shocked the entire capital. After all, someone had sent a message back earlier, and both of them had been kidnapped by bandits.
There was no need to talk about Mo Qingyan, just Chu Rou alone could not wait to spread the news that Mo Qingyan had been kidnapped, covering the entire city.
Imperial Concubine Tao was doted upon by the palace because of her beauty, and she was a cold person. Most of the concubines in the palace were at odds with each other.
There were too many people who wanted to see the two of them in trouble. People who wanted to see them in disgrace would naturally seize this opportunity to talk.
However, when the commoners saw the two of them entering the city dressed in bright clothes, all the rumors about them broke down.
Another rumor had already spread out.
The and the Imperial Concubine Tao were left behind by the Master of the Gongji Temple, it was said that both of them were fated to be part of the Buddha family.
Furthermore, previously, the previous head of Gongji Temple and Mo Qingyan were on extremely good terms with each other, so this explanation was naturally more reasonable.
"Yan, you're finally back. It really makes us worry to death. " Mo Qingyan walked to the outside of the Jiang Mansion, and saw the Old Mistress and the rest hurriedly walking in from the entrance.
Mo Qingyan looked at their anxious faces, as if they had aged quite a bit in the past few days that he had not seen them. A wave of warmth rose from the bottom of Mo Qingyan's heart.
"Grandmother, mother. I've made you all worry. " After the Ah Nuo discussed this with Su He, he hid the truth from them.
But how could they not be worried after not seeing Mo Qingyan these few days? With the alluring rumors inside the city, how could they not be worried.
"It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back." The old lady held Mo Qingyan's hand, her eyes glistening with tears.
Looking at the group of faces that were filled with worry, Mo Qingyan smiled at them. After all, these people had always remembered her kindness to Mo Qingyan.
"Yan, since you're back, rest well. Go to the Minister's Mansion tomorrow, and pay respects to father on the way. " When Mo Qingyan was sitting in his own room, Jiang Wan pushed open the door and walked in.
She didn't seem like her own mother. She knew that most likely, something had happened to Mo Qingyan this time. However, Mo Qingyan had already grown up and wouldn't let himself worry about her these days.
Jiang Wan could only pretend that he did not know anything. Even people with Jiang Mansion did not necessarily feel puzzled in their hearts.
"Minister's Mansion?" Mo Qingyan looked at his mother with a puzzled expression. Seeing her like this, Jiang Wan could not help but sigh.
"Yan, he is your father. The blood relationship between you can never be broken. I don't want to, because my relationship has affected the relationship between you two. "
Jiang Wan now did not even know whether the decision he had made to leave or whether he had made was right or wrong.
But even if she was given another chance, she thought she would still make the same choice. It was just that this time, she would definitely not let Meng Qingyan hear any rumours.
"Not to mention that the people your father sent to the magistrate court these days were constantly asking for news. Your father is very concerned about you, too. "
Jiang Wan caressed Mo Qingyan's head, his eyes filled with gentleness and benevolence. Mo Qingyan nodded slightly. No matter if it was his previous life or his current life, Mo Wende had never treated her unfairly.
"Mother, don't worry. Daughter is naturally someone who understands etiquette." Since he had returned today, his father must have heard the news as well. I'm ready to go. "
Since he was going to do this, he had to be polite and thorough. The best choice would be to pass through today.
Of course, Jiang Wan knew this logic, but he had just returned. The four women in the Minister's Mansion were not easy to deal with.
She was afraid that Mo Qingyan would suddenly go back and suffer a loss. If not for them repeatedly scheming against Mo Qingyan, how could she be willing to give up on her husband?
"Mother, don't worry. My daughter can take good care of herself now, not to mention I'm not a soft persimmon. They won't be able to pinch me! "
Mo Qingyan knew what she was worried about, a cold glint flashed past her eyes.
It would be best if they did not provoke him. If they really did come, he would at least peel off a layer of their skin!
"Since you have an idea in mind, I won't stop you from doing so." It's just that I'm not in the Residence right now, so I must be careful when I return. "
Jiang Wan knew that Mo Qingyan always had an idea. No one could change the decision she had made. She could only sigh.
"Ah Nuo, go prepare some things for my father. It's not good for Bi Tinghua to go back empty-handed. " Mo Qingyan smiled as he comforted his mother, then turned to instruct Ah Nuo.
"Yes, Miss!" Ah Nuo obediently walked down. Mo Qingyan and Jiang Wan chatted for a while longer before Jiang Wan left.
When he was about to get on the carriage that brought him back to Minister's Mansion, the corners of Mo Qingyan's lips curled up into a relaxed smile.
In fact, this time, it could also be considered as a blessing in disguise, as the people from the Gongji Temple had long been controlled by the High Lord s of the Greedy Temple.
Those people who were still alive had also returned into the Gongji Temple after Mo Qingyan's plea.
They were all deeply grateful to Mo Qingyan, so naturally, what Mo Qingyan wanted to do was done. This could be considered as a knot in her heart.
