He favored his concubine and I cut off my wealth. Everyone in the mansion was in a panic.

Lu Tingyu's expression froze. If he stepped back at this moment, it would be too deliberate. So he could only stop and said awkwardly: "I... come to have tea."

Although Mo Wansheng was a little simple, he was very smart. So just by looking at Lu Tingyu's slightly embarrassed look, he had already vaguely guessed what was going on. "Are you following me?"

"No, I'm just afraid that you're not safe alone..." Being shocked by Mo Wansheng, Lu Tingyu subconsciously told the truth. Halfway through, he realized that something was wrong and immediately shut up.

At this moment, a young man walked out from behind Mo Wansheng. It was the 'handsome young man' that Lu Tingyu wanted to find out.

Mo Wansheng walked out of the door, made way for him, and then stopped one step away from Lu Tingyu.

"It was Wansheng who was not thoughtful enough, and made Mr. Chi make this trip in vain. Please forgive me, Mr. Chi." Mo Wansheng bowed to the person in front of him, with guilt in his eyes.

Fortunately, Mr. Chi was not a calculative person. He just glanced at Lu Tingyu and then at Mo Wansheng, "Miss Mo, don't feel guilty. After all, there is just a lack of fate between us."

After saying that, Mr. Chi bowed to Mo Wansheng to indicate his intention to leave, and then went downstairs without looking back.

Lu Tingyu was a little confused, but he could vaguely feel that the conversation between the two was not... not very harmonious?

Somehow, Lu Tingyu felt an inexplicable sense of joy in his heart.

Mo Wansheng looked at the corners of his mouth that were unconsciously slightly raised, snorted in a displeased manner, and then walked towards the box first.

Mo Wansheng had already come, so Lu Tingyu naturally did not leave. He turned around and went back into the box and closed the door again.

Seeing that Mo Wansheng still had a cold face, Lu Tingyu was a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, Shengsheng, I really didn't mean to follow you, I just wanted to see...what do you want to do..."

The more he explained, the more confused he became, and Lu Tingyu's voice became smaller and smaller. There was a little more nervousness in his eyes when he looked at Mo Wansheng that he didn't even feel.

Undoubtedly, he was afraid that Mo Wansheng would be angry.

At this moment, even if Lu Tingyu was slow in feelings, he had already understood that he cared about Mo Wansheng, the kind of care.

It was not because of the care between friends with similar interests, but the care between men and women who wanted to spend the rest of their lives together.

Mo Wansheng sighed lightly and took the initiative to tell everything. It turned out that the young master Chi who had just left was not only Mo Wansheng's blind date, but also her nominal distant cousin.

Mo Wansheng is now sixteen years old. The Lord of Mo City thinks that she is not young anymore and still has no suitable candidate, so her sister-in-law Chi recommended herself on behalf of her cousin in the neighboring city, so today's scene happened.

There is no doubt that the appearance and temperament of the young master of the Chi family are naturally very good, but in the moment of talking, Mo Wansheng's mind was full of Lu Tingyu's shadow, so in the end, this sudden meeting ended in failure.

And Mo Wansheng was not worried about this, "After the young master of the Chi family left, it is estimated that it will not take long for my father, brother, and sister-in-law to know about you and me. How to explain to them after returning home is really a headache."

The little girl was simple-minded and did not mean to blame Lu Tingyu at all. She was just worried.

After all, Lu Tingyu's identity as the prince of Shengjing was really difficult for her to explain.

Lu Tingyu's heart sank, and his face became more apologetic, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect things to turn out like this..."

Mo Wansheng waved his hand indifferently, and poured himself a cup of tea and drank it, "It's a matter of time, they will always know, but it's a little too fast, and I was caught off guard." At this point, the little girl couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and her angry look made Lu Tingyu raise his mouth.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Tingyu came up with a pretty good idea.

"Does Shengsheng like me?"

The sudden question made Mo Wansheng stunned immediately, and after being stunned, he was shy, "You...what are you talking about!"

The little girl was thin-skinned, and seeing this, Lu Tingyu didn't ask much, but said what he was thinking, "I like Shengsheng, and I want to spend the rest of my life with Shengsheng."

After the words fell, a pair of serious eyes stared at Mo Wansheng's eyes, obviously expecting Mo Wansheng's response.

Faced with this particularly abrupt expression of feelings, Mo Wansheng's cheeks immediately flushed, but her eyes were filled with deep joy and excitement. She had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, but...

"What about your former lover? Is Brother Tingyu sure that he has let her go?" Mo Wansheng's focused little face was full of solemnity. Although she liked Lu Tingyu and Lu Tingyu had expressed his feelings to her, she would not agree if Lu Tingyu had someone in his heart that he couldn't let go.

Lu Tingyu raised a smile, "I wasn't sure before, but after what happened today, I'm sure that the person I like now is Shengsheng. So, if Shengsheng also likes me, I will go to the City Lord's Mansion with you and explain this to City Lord Mo."

"What if I don't agree?"

"Then I will go with you and say that I am entangled with you, but now I have figured it out. A forced melon is not sweet, so I am willing to let go and leave Hualing City."

Hearing the word "let go", Mo Wansheng's heart was panicked for no reason, and the word "no" came out of his mouth.

Afraid that Lu Tingyu would say something else that she didn't want to hear, Mo Wansheng quickly stopped him, "Okay, okay, I promise you, now let's go back to the city lord's mansion together."

…

Two quarters of an hour later, there was a bustling street only one lane away from the city lord's palace.

Lu Tingyu suddenly became a little nervous, and looked at Mo Wansheng beside him, who was also distracted, "Shengsheng, tell me... will your family disagree? Have you really thought about it?"

"Also, Shengsheng, are you really willing to go back to Shengjing with me?"

After thinking for a long time, Lu Tingyu finally asked this question.

Until this moment, Lu Tingyu finally realized that he had been too impulsive just now.

He was sure of his feelings, but not yet sure of Mo Wansheng. She liked him, but after this love, there were still entanglements outside of relationships.

She is alone and has no worries, but she is not. She still has her father, brother and sister-in-law, as well as friends and people close to her for many years.

It was really irrational for him to force her to leave him.

Mo Wansheng was silent for a while, then turned to look into Lu Tingyu's eyes, "Brother Tingyu, after I return to Shengjing with you, can I come back?"

Lu Tingyu was right. Mo Wansheng had been struggling with this issue.

Lu Tingyu immediately responded: "Of course. Although I will inherit the title of king when I return, it is only a casual position. If you want, I can take leave every year to accompany you back to Hualing City to stay for a while."

With Lu Tingyu's promise, Mo Wansheng immediately smiled and stretched out her finger to Lu Tingyu like before, "Keep your word?"

Lu Tingyu smiled and cooperated, with a doting look on his face.

…

A moment later, the city lord's mansion, study room.

Looking at the pair of beautiful people standing side by side below, City Lord Mo thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

Mo Wansheng had just gone out to meet the son of the Chi family at noon, and brought back a sweetheart in the afternoon. Could it be that this girl didn't want to get married to frame him?

But if we say he's cheating...this young master looks really good.

"What's going on? Tell me."

City Lord Mo thought he was calm and poured himself a cup of tea, but the emotion in his eyes had already betrayed him.

He was obviously very curious about Lu Tingyu's identity.

Mo Wansheng's temper was as decisive as ever, "Just like what dad sees, I have a sweetheart. His name is Lu Tingyu, and he is the one next to me."

Lu Tingyu...

Hearing this name, City Lord Mo felt vaguely familiar, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of it, so in the end he could only give up for now.

Lu Tingyu leaned slightly towards City Lord Mo and cupped his hands, and said calmly: "Uncle Mo, Tingyu knows that it is presumptuous to come suddenly, but Tingyu and Miss Mo are indeed in love, so I thought Uncle Tongmo explained this matter."

City Master Mo was still skeptical about the relationship between the two, but he still asked Lu Tingyu about his origins as usual, "Where do you live, what do your parents do for a living, and how many brothers and sisters do you have at home?"

Lu Tingyu answered one by one, "My family lives in Zhuque Lane in the east of Shengjing City. My father is King Jing'an and my mother is Princess Jing'an, but they are both deceased at this time. I am the only direct descendant in the family. I have no brothers and sisters, and there are no family financial disputes."

Lu Tingyu said it seriously, but City Lord Mo was immediately shocked when he heard the first sentence. It took him a while to react and ask: "Wait! Who do you think your parents are?"

"King Jing'an of Great Chu, and Princess Jing'an."

"And you are?"

"Lu Tingyu, the eldest son of Prince Jing'an."

After saying that, fearing that City Master Mo would doubt his identity, he took out a pure gold token from his arms that could prove his identity and gave it to City Master Mo.

The clear and noble logo of Prince Jing'an's Mansion made City Master Mo suddenly fall silent.

The token is real.

But City Lord Mo still has some doubts about Lu Tingyu's identity. After all, Hualing City is thousands of miles away from Shengjing. What is the prince of Prince Jing'an doing here here with nothing to do?

Lu Tingyu obviously guessed City Lord Mo's doubts, and immediately took out his private seal and the token that allowed him to enter the palace at will.

If one piece of evidence can be said to be a coincidence, then the three pieces of evidence must be true.

After all, no one who is desperate would come out to deceive in the name of the royal family and Prince Jing'an's palace. Those are the two most noble forces in Da Chu.

But...why did the eldest son of Prince Jing'an fall in love with his daughter?

City Lord Mo was depressed, but he still did not forget to stand up and give up the throne to Lu Tingyu.

Although he is the lord of Hualing City, compared with Lu Tingyu, the heir apparent of Prince Jing'an, he is far behind.

Moreover, after Lu Tingyu's reminder, City Lord Mo also remembered that the news of the death of King Jing'an and his wife had indeed come a few days ago, and as the only direct descendant of the Lu family, Lu Tingyu was undoubtedly the future King of Jing'an.

That King Jing'an who would not kneel before seeing a saint and whose dignity was comparable to that of the royal family!

Lu Tingyu quickly refused, "Uncle, there is no need to be like this. Tingyu is here today in the name of a junior and has nothing to do with his official position."

Lu Tingyu refused, and City Master Mo just followed the trend and sat back down.

Although there is a difference in status, Lingnan is the territory of the Mo family, so City Lord Mo still has the confidence to sit still.

The two chatted for a while, and Lu Tingyu turned around and said goodbye.

Mo Wansheng sent Lu Tingyu to the door of the City Lord's Mansion. As soon as he turned back, he was called back to the study by City Lord Mo.

In the study, City Lord Mo had put away his calm look just now, and his well-maintained face subconsciously condensed a little sorrow. Looking at his young daughter who was in her prime, he asked again: "Shengsheng, tell your father the truth, do you really like the Prince of Jing'an?"

As Mo Wansheng thought, Lu Tingyu's identity was a big problem for City Lord Mo.

Mo Wansheng nodded firmly, "Yes."

After that, he briefly told City Lord Mo about a series of past events, such as his meeting with Lu Tingyu in Shenyu Mountain, several boat trips on Ting Lake, and heart-to-heart talks on the night of the full moon. City Lord Mo briefly summarized: love grows over time.

But he was muttering in his heart: If he had known this would happen, he should have sent people to keep a close eye on Shen Yushan, instead of not taking precautions just because it was too close to Hualing City!

Seeing the solemn expression on his daughter's face, Lord Mo began to sigh, preparing to explain the seriousness of the matter to Mo Wansheng, "Shengsheng, it's not that Daddy opposes your relationship. Do you know what it means for you to be with Prince Jing'an?"

After saying that, without waiting for Mo Wansheng's response, he continued to speak: "It means that you have to leave Hualing City where you were born and raised, it means that you have to wade into the muddy waters of Shengjing full of conspiracies, it means... you can no longer live such a carefree life now."

With a sigh, Lord Mo still couldn't help but say what he was most worried about, "The most important thing is that if you go to Shengjing, Daddy can no longer protect you. If you are wronged at that time, Daddy can't seek justice for you..."

As he spoke, Lord Mo's eyes were red. Mo Wansheng was his only daughter, the lifeblood of his palm, so he was extremely worried.

According to his previous thoughts, he wanted to find a marriage for her that was well-matched with her. Even if the man's family was not so well-off, it didn't matter. He had money and power. As long as the man was good enough to Mo Wansheng, he had the confidence to let Mo Wansheng live happily for the rest of her life.

But now Lu Tingyu's appearance broke all of Mo City Lord's plans.

Seeing this, Mo Wansheng's eyes turned red. He walked towards the Lord of Mo City and held his hand, his voice choking, "I know what Daddy said, but I really like Brother Tingyu..."

Mo Wansheng bit his lips in entanglement, and finally said what he thought, "Dad, I always know that you love me and spoil me. It is also because of your care that I have been able to live safely for the past 16 years, but now, I have indeed fallen in love with a man you didn't expect. I like him, I like him very much, it is an uncontrollable love, so Daddy, I..."

Mo Wansheng paused, and then continued, "I'm sorry, Daddy, you treat me so well, but now I selfishly want to leave you for the sake of children's private affairs, but Daddy, I really don't know what to do, I really like him, I want to marry him, I want to accompany him for the rest of my life, but at the same time, I can't bear to leave Daddy, my brother and sister-in-law, so I..."

Mo Wansheng felt more and more uncomfortable as he spoke, and finally tears rolled down in big drops.

It can be seen that although she has made a decision in her heart, she is still a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Lord Mo couldn't bear to say more. He immediately held her hand and sighed softly, "Silly girl, why do you say sorry to Daddy? Daddy was also young. When he was engaged to your mother, he was also so determined. Because your grandfather didn't agree, I ran away from home. Daddy doesn't blame you. Daddy just... can't bear to leave you!"

Being away from Hualing City is secondary. Lord Mo is most worried about the high-ranking family of Jing'an Palace. Can Lu Tingyu really stay with Mo Wansheng?

If he changes his mind in the future, how should Mo Wansheng deal with it when she is alone in Shengjing?

Compared with reluctance, Lord Mo is more worried about the unknown accidents that may happen to her in the rest of her life.

If Lu Tingyu can really guarantee the stability of Mo Wansheng's second half of her life, and Mo Wansheng really likes Lu Tingyu, how could he object?

As a father, the biggest wish is that his children can live a safe and smooth life.
