Chapter 177 - The Correct Way of Opening the Heart of Rage Through the Lady

Nangong Mo came back to reality and threw away the sword in his hand. He turned to look at the man's body on the ground and felt very suspicious.

After walking to the door, he reluctantly looked back, but he did not see Meng Xi. She silently sighed in her heart, for her, she had even killed someone, but she was not even willing to give her a proper look?

On the second day, the matter of the freshman Nangong Mo fighting with someone and hacking someone to death for the sake of a brothel's Courtesan Belle was spread throughout the streets of Shengjing City even though Nangong Jue had suppressed him with all his might.

As this matter was extremely big, when the dynasty's emperor found out about it, Long Yan was infuriated. He had removed the title of Nangong Mo's new Champion of the Imperial Examinations and removed his official position. He then ordered Nangong Mo to be taken into Jing Zhao Palace, and the matter of him killing someone would be tried again, so he had to give an explanation to the rest of the world.

In the end, Nangong Jue kneeled in front of the palace hall for four hours. The emperor felt that the Prime Minister had put in a lot of effort and ordered Nangong Mo to bail him out.

… ….

Hong Zhong looked at the scene in front of him and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I went through the wrong door, so continue with what you said, just pretend that I don't exist." She had said that, but she didn't have any intention of leaving. Instead, she headed towards the window.

The man's eyes followed Hong Zhong's figure, and as if he knew Hong Zhong's intentions, he drained the cup of wine in one gulp, then picked up the wine jug on the table and slowly poured wine. He opened his mouth and reminded her: "There's a river under this window, you won't be able to leave."

Hong Zhong stopped in her tracks, staring at him with an awkward expression. Does he even know her looks?

He could not help but touch his nose doubtfully. It was only then that he realized that the beard that had stuck to his face had fallen off crookedly due to the speed at which he had escaped.

Thus, he gave an awkward laugh and quickly turned around. Looking at the man on the soft couch, he said, "Since there is no other way, I can only return on the same path." Then, he pretended to be calm and walked towards the door.

The man's eyes closely followed Hong Zhong's figure, and silently looked at Hong Zhong who pretended to be calm as he reached for the door!

Hong Zhong's hand had just touched the door when she suddenly thought of something. She turned her head as she touched the door, looked at the man, and reminded him with good intentions: "Sir, the wine thing is beautiful, but so be it. But if she drank too much, it would harm her body! This humble one shall advise you to drink less. " Then she opened the door.

However, when she opened the door, she was unable to step out.

Hong Zhong looked at the girl who was standing in front of him, who seemed to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight. She had her arms folded across her chest, and a smile that was not a smile appeared on her face.

"Eh …." Hong Zhong was startled, she turned to look inside, only to realize that the man inside was looking at her with shining eyes, and also looking at her foot that she didn't have the time to step out of, then honestly nodding: "He seems to have barged in."

Hearing that, Zhen Zhumama raised her eyebrows, took two steps back, and indicated for Hong Zhong to come out of her room. Then, with a smile that was not a smile, she continued to ask coldly: "Miss has even brought people to cause trouble at my Lovesick Restaurant?"

Behind her, a few tall, sinister-looking men stood in a daze. Girl?

Hong Zhong nodded honestly, to be honest, the Brothel Keeper in front of him was not the same as she had imagined. Other than looking slightly more comfortable, she had a very unique way of looking at people, even when he was dressed up like this, she could actually see through him.

When she thought about how she came in, she indeed wanted to find trouble with Nangong Mo, but she definitely did not bring anyone over. She pointed at herself, and explained in a serious tone: "Yes, but it's only me, there's no one else!"

Although that girl came out to fight with Nangong Mo later on, Hong Zhong could guarantee that she would definitely not recognize that girl!

Pearl coldly swept her gaze at Hong Zhong: "Jing Zhao, was it you who called him over as well?"

"..." Hong Zhong wanted to retort immediately, but, was all of this too much of a coincidence? After thinking about it, she asked, "Sister Pearl, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Pearl sneered and raised her eyebrows. She slowly spoke towards the empty air, "Grandmother does not have the time to walk in circles with you. If you don't come out, I'll throw this girl in disguise out!"

The few burly men behind her stared blankly for a moment before looking around.

In this room, other than the person in front of him, was there anyone else?

Alright, actually, when they saw Hong Zhong like this, they had all thought that she was a lackey's disciple who was eyeing her young master Mo Li's beauty, so they took the chance to run over to take a peek at him while the crowd was in a mess!

Right after Pearl's words, Hong Zhong only felt a flash before her eyes, as a slightly familiar figure appeared in front of him.

A beautiful oval face coupled with a pair of bright eyes made her look like a real beauty! Hong Zhong also recognized her from the clothes she was wearing. She was the woman who had helped her deal with Nangong Mo earlier.

But, no matter how Hong Zhong thought about it, her mind did not have the slightest impression of her. Along with Zhen Zhumama, he looked at her suspiciously: "Who are you?"

The woman seemed to know Hong Zhong's doubt. "My name is Mo Xi."

Mo Xi seemed to be a little familiar with him, but he was indeed not someone she knew.

"I don't care what you are called. Since you dare to cause trouble in my Lovesick Tower, you must have the resolve to pay the price!" Zhen Zhumama looked coldly at Hong Zhong and Mo Xi.

Hearing that, Mo Xi disdainfully snorted, but did not say anything.

Hong Zhong also turned her head to look at Mo Xi, and then said to Zhen Zhumama: "Alright, I was indeed rude today, Zhen Zhumama, what compensation do you want, we can discuss properly. As long as your request is not too much, I will consider it. "

Hong Zhong paused, seeing Zhen Zhumama's expression, she knew that she was not joking around with him. Just as she was about to open her mouth and make another round, she heard a clear voice from behind him: "Sister Pearl."

Zhen Zhumama turned her head to look at Meng Xi.

"I'm fine." Meng Xi shook her head and then looked at the pearl: "Sister Pearl, this lady had saved me earlier. I had specially come up to express my gratitude."

After Pearl heard Meng Xi's words, she turned and glanced at her, then looked at Hong Zhong: "Since that's the case, then I will not let the matter of you barging into Sir Mo Li's room end today. But, you schemed against me, causing us to be the first to commit the murder.

Thus, everyone was once again stunned.

She, was the one who schemed against the Lovesick Tower?!

Hearing that, Hong Zhong's admiration for the pearl increased even more. She could tell that she was a girl, and that was indeed true.

He laughed: "Indeed, today I am the one who first schemed against the Lovesick Tower. As for the murder case of the Lovesick Tower, Hong Zhong will definitely settle it straight so that it will not implicate everyone."

After Pearl heard Hong Zhong's words, she looked at Hong Zhong seriously, as if she was confirming the truthfulness of what Hong Zhong had just said. After a long while, she looked away.

Hong Zhong paused for a moment. This pearl was really as genuine as the rumours. If she did not speak the truth today, Pearl would not have let her leave. Although she believed that even if she did not say it, she would have left the Lovesick Tower safe and sound in the end, but Hong Zhong did not want to offend Pearl.

On the contrary, Hong Zhong thought about it for a while and said each word slowly, "Because, we all hate the Nan Gong Family." Today, she schemed against the Lovesick Tower, also to punish Nangong Mo.

And from the news she received before, Nangong Mo had a deep affection for Meng Xi. But when they were in the main hall, Hong Zhong discovered the look in Meng Xi's eyes, it was no different from saying that she hated Nangong Mo to the bones!

She probably didn't have any good feelings for the Nan Gong Family, since she could have someone who hated Nangong Mo to the bones. If she could get on good terms with him, even if she didn't help him deal with the Nan Gong Family in the future, at the very least, she wouldn't help the Nan Gong Family deal with him!

Hearing this, Pearl's eyes flashed with a stern look.

She never thought that Hong Zhong would actually voice his hatred towards the Nan Gong Family so directly. She never expected that Hong Zhong would also see that they were also from the Nan Gong Family! Just as she was lowering her head and muttering, the door to Sir Mo Li's room was opened.

Wearing a plain set of Ling Yun Satin, her black hair fluttered, and after her bright eyes swept across Hong Zhong, she turned around to look at the hesitating Zhen Zhumama: "Sister Pearl, let her go, just treat it as giving Mo Li face."

Pearl was slightly startled, she quickly swept her gaze across Meng Xi, and then glanced at Mo Li. In the end, the expression on her face returned to normal, and she laughed heartily: "I never would have thought that the young lady would be able to obtain the pleas from two of my subordinates the first time you came to my Lovesick Restaurant. Since we are both from the same sect, then Pearl will no longer make things difficult for young lady. "However, the matter regarding this murder case …"

Hong Zhong immediately promised after hearing that, "Don't worry Sister Pearl, I will definitely settle the matter of the murder case properly. At that time, she should be able to tell Baili Yi Chen not to implicate this place.

"Un, then that lady will take her leave slowly!" Pearl said with a faint smile.

Hong Zhong nodded at her, then turned and looked at Mo Li strangely. If Meng Xi was trying to help her, it was to repay her for saving her life, but why would Mo Li help her?

After thinking about it for a bit, he was really unable to understand it. With a stomach full of suspicions, he quickly brought Mo Xi and left.

Only after Hong Zhong had walked far away did Zhen Zhumama turn her head and look at Mo Li and Meng Xi with a cold expression. "Tell me honestly, why did you two help that little girl?" Did these two people really help that little girl because she couldn't tell?

Meng Xi laughed, then looked at Mo Li: "My reason is very simple, the Nan Gong Family caused the death of over twenty members of my Meng Family, I and the Nan Gong Family are irreconcilable, and she, like you said, also hates the Nan Gong Family. We are of the same mind." Furthermore, she had that person's item with her. Presumably, she was connected to that person!

Mo Li also laughed lightly, looking towards the direction Hong Zhong left in: "She, looks like an old friend of mine."

… ….

Hong Zhong brought Mo Xi out of the Lovesick Restaurant and walked in the direction of the casting factory. When they finally walked out of the bustling streets, Hong Zhong stopped in her tracks, turned her head and asked Mo Xi: "Speak, who are you to?"

If her appearance was a coincidence, then the appearance of Jing Zhao and the Prefecture Overseer was definitely not a coincidence!

Mo Xi paused for a moment, "I thought in the past that I was not a part of anyone's person. From two days ago, I was your person."

"If you don't want to say it, then don't follow me anymore." After Hong Zhong finished speaking, she turned around and left. There was no one by her side who didn't know where she came from.

Mo Xi saw that Hong Zhong was about to leave without even looking back, and quickly chased after him: "My brother is called Mo Chen, he is Shezhengwang's Palace's doctor!"

Hong Zhong paused his steps, "So, the Regent asked you to come and follow me?"

"Not really." Mo Xi explained in a very honest manner: "I heard from my brother that the Regent knew that you would be leaving the palace to head to the casting factory in the next few days and was worried about your safety so he sent Wu Hen and transferred over a dozen of his female secret guards to protect you. But the one and only secret guard in the Shezhengwang's Palace, Leng Ye, was already transferred to Xi Ling.

Hong Zhong folded her arms across her chest and looked at Mo Xi suspiciously: "So you're saying, Jing Zhao Palace's governor, that you sent people to call him over?"

"Yes." Mo Xi nodded. Other than protecting her safety, these people who followed Hong Zhong would also be responsible for informing the Regent about her every move and helping her.

When she saw her changing into a man's attire and following Nangong Mo into the Lovesick Restaurant, she guessed that Hong Zhong was going to plot against Nangong Mo, so she sent someone to invite Chief Guan Zhao.

"Does that mean I still have dozens of Shezhengwang's Palace's secret guards following me and informing the Regent at any time of my movements?" Hong Zhong continued to ask.

Mo Xi nodded again, "Yes."

"Although I know that the reason Uncle sent people to protect me is for my safety, but why do I feel like I'm being watched?" "Then why did you volunteer to follow me?"

Speaking of this topic, Mo Xi paused, and his expression became a little ugly.

After being stared at by Hong Zhong for a good while, she finally gritted her teeth and spoke with a slightly sour tone of voice, "Actually, the reason I came to follow you was not purely to protect you, but rather … For Wu Hen, the heartless one! "

"..." Hong Zhong curiously knitted her brows as she looked at Mo Xi. The heartless one?
