Mo Zhaohua said in a high-sounding manner, "Although a woman should obey her husband after marriage, her mother's family is her confidence. If you marry well, it will also benefit me."
In her previous life, Fang Tianming, the second son of the Fang family, would really be on the list of successful candidates in the next spring imperial examination, but there was a major hidden secret.
The Spring Examination has always been under the charge of the Ministry of Rites. As the Left Vice Minister, Fang Jin gave his son a lot of convenience, which was tantamount to cheating.
Later, the truth was revealed and a group of officials and students were investigated. Fang Jinling was imprisoned, Fang Tianming lost his fame and was exiled.
As the investigation into the imperial examination cheating case deepened, the results of the previous spring examination were also uncovered, so Fang Jin's legitimate son Fang Xingming was also imprisoned.
This was not the first time Fang Jin had been partial to his friends. Fang Xingming had been able to pass the imperial examination by cheating, and then successfully entered the official career.
After this investigation, the entire Zuo Shilang Mansion was implicated, some were killed, some were arrested, and Fang Tianming's wife would naturally be implicated.
If Mo Shuhua really marries Fang Tianming, she will have to be exiled with him in the future. One can imagine the hardships and difficulties involved.
But she didn't know about this, and was still very happy in her heart, and wanted to get engaged immediately, "Then I will ask my father what he thinks when I go back."
"Okay, you can also ask your second uncle to send a letter to Prince Yu's Mansion, and I will talk to him personally. After all, the Spring Examination is coming soon, and it will be too late to wait until the results are announced."
Once the list is announced, Fang Tianming will be on it. Mo Shuhua will then be even less able to get close to him, and Mo Shuhua's plan may fail.
She couldn't possibly force Fang Tianming to marry Mo Shuhua. Not only would this damage her own reputation, it would also implicate Chu Xuanchi.
Mo Shuhua was grateful and liked her more and more. "I understand. Thank you, Princess, for your planning."
"I'm not just doing this for you, but more for myself. You know, I only have one half-sister, and you are my biological cousin."
Mo Zhaohua deliberately emphasized the word "legitimate" to remind people that Mo Yaohua was just a concubine's daughter, and Mo Shuhua was a legitimate daughter after all.
She herself didn't care that much about the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, otherwise she wouldn't have been so nice to Mo Yaohua. Unfortunately, her sincerity was taken advantage of.
"It's all because I'm so ignorant. I used to believe the slander of Prince Qi's concubine and thought that the princess was of noble birth and therefore looked down on us."
When Mo Shuhua was a child, Mo Zhaohua was very close to her. Later, as Mo Shuhua alienated them, they became increasingly estranged. Now he regrets it very much.
Mo Zhaohua smiled and said, "Although I don't know why my half sister and I would do this, let the past be the past."
"Princess..." Mo Shuhua's tears fell again, but this time it was no longer out of unwillingness, but out of regret.
"Why are you crying again?" Mo Zhaohua guessed what she was thinking, but he didn't feel touched at all. It was useless for her to regret it now.
Mo Shuhua said sincerely, "How could I have been so blind before that I couldn't see that the princess was such a good person?"
Mo Zhaohua made excuses for her, "You are still young and inexperienced, how can you be blamed for this? Don't hold a grudge against it anymore."
She is indeed still young now, but in her previous life she had given birth to children for Zhou Shaotang. However, she was still in collusion with him and brought harm to the Mansion of the Duke of Fuguo.
Whenever he thought of the tragic massacre at the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion, or the slander of rebellion, Mo Zhaohua wished that all the participants would pay with blood.
Mo Shuhua was busy expressing her loyalty, "Thank you for your tolerance, Princess. I will follow your lead from now on and will never trust Prince Qi's concubine again."
Mo Zhaohua was very satisfied with her reaction. As long as she put in the effort, the matter was halfway to success. After all, Mo Tao would definitely be willing.
"Oh, there is one more thing I want to explain first. Although Mr. Fang has not married yet, he already has concubines and maids in the courtyard."
Although a girl like Mo Shuhua didn't know about this, Mo Tao certainly knew about it. Mo Zhaohua explained it in advance to avoid any chance of gossip.
Mo Shuhua didn't care at all, "It's okay, this is normal. Apart from the common people, how many men don't have three wives and four concubines?"
It was extremely difficult for common people to get married, so how could they have the spare money to support three wives and four concubines? For the sons of officials, it was enough for her to be the legal wife.
Mo Zhaohua knew that she wouldn't mind. "In that case, tell your uncle when you go back. If you have anything, you can come to Prince Yu's Mansion to find me."
Mo Shuhua responded readily and felt much more comfortable talking to Mo Zhaohua. In the eyes of others, it was a show of deep sisterly love.
Mo Zhaohua chatted with her for a while, then sent her away and asked someone to invite Aunt Qiao and Mo Qinghua over to talk.
While waiting, Amber asked, "Princess, I don't understand. Miss Tang has always been on good terms with Prince Qi's concubine. Why is Princess helping her?"
Mo Zhaohua said politely, "We are all family, so we should help each other if we can. My father is unreliable, and my concubine sister is plotting against me, so I should at least have someone to help me."
Amber believed it and said, "That's right. Although Miss Tang is not as good as Miss Cousin, if she can treat the princess sincerely, the princess will have more helpers."
As the saying goes, more friends mean more paths. She sincerely hopes that in addition to the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion, Mo Zhaohua can also provide some help to the Mo family.
Huaying listened but didn't quite believe it. From her previous understanding, Mo Zhaohua didn't seem like someone who would get close to the Mo family.
However, although she was suspicious, she would not ask everything like Amber did, for fear of breaking the rules and displeasing the mistress.
Aunt Qiao came very quickly and knelt down to pay her respects as soon as she entered. "How is your Highness?"
Mo Zhaohua raised his hand to signal her to stand up, "Aunt, there is no need to be so polite. Never do this again in the future."
"Thank you, Princess, but etiquette cannot be abolished. This is the rule that a servant should follow." Aunt Qiao respected her from the bottom of her heart.
Just like respecting Rong Qing!
Mo Qinghua knelt on the ground and kowtowed politely, "Qing'er kowtows to the princess, may the princess be safe and sound."
"Qing'er is so good, get up quickly." Mo Zhaohua said, looking at Aunt Qiao, "Aunt Qiao has taught Qing'er very well."
Aunt Qiao stood with her head bowed. "I also learned from Miss Rong. Although I only learned the basics, I have benefited from it till now."
"Aunt and Qing'er, please sit down and talk. Standing like this doesn't look like a family." Mo Zhaohua knew that she didn't want to, so he deliberately said the last sentence.
Aunt Qiao was about to refuse, but after hearing what was said next, she stopped the idea and pulled Mo Qinghua to sit on a chair beside her.
Mo Zhaohua first asked about Aunt Qiao's situation, and when he learned that Lan Ruyu did not make things difficult for her, he felt relieved to ask about Mo Qinghua's schoolwork.
Although Mo Qinghua is not favored by Mo Yun, his features are most like his. He also has a great interest and talent in learning and has a strong learning ability.
"If Auntie wants Qing'er to succeed in his studies, you should not only bring him to Yishou Hall to see Grandmother more often, but also go to greet Father more often."
Although Mo Zhaohua wanted to train Mo Qinghua, she was a married woman after all, so it was not convenient for her to interfere too much in her mother's family affairs, so she had to rely on Mo Yun.
If the old lady lived longer, Mo Qinghua might have been favored because of his face. Unfortunately, the old lady was dying, so she could only attract Mo Yun's attention.
