Was the whole group wiped out in the previous life? Reborn to drag the crippled king into the bridal

"Why don't you go out and ask around to find out where the news came from?"

As soon as Mo Yun heard the rumor, he sent Sun Chang to investigate and had already figured out the source of the news.

Xue was still denying, "As the saying goes, people's words are scary. It's not difficult for Princess Yu to pin this on us."

"Princess Yu, how could you do such a thing for the sake of your reputation? And I know exactly what kind of person my sister-in-law is."

Mo Yun had never liked Xue in the first place, as he despised her because she was a merchant's daughter who was only good at calculating profits and had no qualities of a lady.

Xue made an excuse, "But I am also worried about Shuhua's marriage. This is marrying up, and the damage to her mother's family's reputation will affect her."

"Prince Yu is now favored and powerful, and you have Princess Yu's support. How dare the Fang family propose to cancel the engagement for such a thing?"

Mo Yun is resentful of Chu Xuanchi's important position and is worried that Mo Zhaohua will complain and Chu Xuanchi will investigate him for his own selfish reasons.

He has been an official for many years, and like most of his colleagues, he is not so innocent and has received some benefits.

After hearing this, Xue was afraid that if she pushed the blame on Mo Zhaohua, she would offend her and it would really affect the marriage.

So Mrs. Xue was a little relieved, "I really didn't make it public. I just chatted with Shuhua for a few minutes in the mansion and complained for my mother-in-law."

Mo Yun sneered, "I'm afraid there are more than just a few sentences, right?"

Xue asked back, "Even if it's more than a few words, what's wrong with me chatting with my own daughter?"

"You..." Mo Yun was infuriated by her self-righteous attitude, "I am really going to be hurt by you guys!"

Mo Tao changed the subject, "Brother, the best plan now is to calm the storm and make sure it doesn't get to His Majesty's ears."

Mo Yun frowned, "It's spreading in teahouses and taverns, even the children on the streets know about it, how could Your Majesty not know?"

Shengjing City is located at the foot of the emperor. How many rumors are sent to Emperor Wenzong every day? How could he escape?

Fortunately, this is a moral issue rather than an official mistake, which will only affect his reputation but will not lead to his demote.

Xue pretended, "Someone who doesn't have eyes spread this matter. If I find out, I will pull out her tongue."

Mo Tao cooperated with her, "There are so many servants in the mansion, how can we investigate? Even if we find out, we can't make up for it. We should find a way quickly."

Madam Mo scolded, "Ms. Xue, you and Shuhua, why don't you tell them about this family scandal behind others' backs? Why do you have to do it in front of the servants?"

Xue felt wronged, "My daughter-in-law was so angry that she went to find Shuhua. She didn't expect that she was in the back garden and she didn't pay much attention to it."

In fact, she knew that Mo Shuhua was in the back garden, so she went to look for her, and then deliberately told the servants about Mo Yun's imprisonment of his mother.

The purpose was simple, which was to have the servants spread the news. Otherwise, how could the news spread so quickly without her authorization?

Mo Yun took the opportunity to suggest, "Mother, you should go back to the Shangshu Mansion with your son, so as to prevent these gossips from spreading."

Mo Tao confirmed with him, "Will my brother imprison mother again? If so, mother should stay in our house."

"The news has already spread out, why would I imprison my mother? Go and pack your bags quickly." Mo Yun gave an order.

Xiaoxi and Xiaocui hurried to the side rooms to clean up. The old lady had only lived there for a few days, so she finished cleaning up quickly.

Mo Yun helped Madam Mo up and took her back to the Shangshu Mansion. As soon as they got on the carriage, he began to blame her for telling Mo Tao the truth.

***

That night, in the backyard of the Prince's Palace.

Mo Zhaohua still gave Chu Xuanchi acupuncture treatment before going to bed.

Chu Xuanchi handed her a silver needle and said, "Zhao Zhao, the news outside is very exciting. Are you satisfied?"

Mo Zhaohua smiled and said, "Grandma really couldn't help herself and told me the truth. It will definitely get out."

Chu Xuanchi sneered, "This Xue family is really brainless. Don't they know the principle that if one prospers, all prosper, and if one suffers, all suffer?"

"She certainly understood the truth, but she could resist telling anyone else about it, but she definitely couldn't resist telling Mo Shuhua."

Relying on his memories from his previous life, Mo Zhaohua made a detailed analysis of all the relevant personnel after his rebirth.

She knew Xue's character very well. She came from a merchant family, valued profit over friendship, and was very jealous. She couldn't stand seeing Mo Yun doing well.

Although the matter of Mo Yun imprisoning his mother would affect their Mo family, it would not be as great as the impact on Mo Yun, so she was willing to take the risk.

Chu Xuanchi asked doubtfully, "How could Mo Shuhua be so stupid as to publicize it without caring about her own reputation and marriage?"

Mo Zhaohua said: "I will be the one to back her up in marriage, so she is not afraid. As for reputation, my concubine's influence is greater."

Mo Shuhua was raised by Xue herself since she was a child, and her personality was like hers, being selfish, greedy, and jealous.

"Is she doing this to take revenge on Mo Yaohua?" Chu Xuan became interested belatedly. He loved to see someone becoming an enemy of Mo Yaohua.

"That's right. Mo Yaohua caused her marriage with Zhou Shaotang to fail. Now he is trying to persuade her to break off the engagement. She must be resentful."

"Will Mo Yun suspect Zhao Zhao?" Chu Xuanchi didn't want to involve Mo Zhaohua in these messes.

Mo Zhaohua's lips curled up slightly, and he smiled confidently, "Xue Shi would push the blame on me, but father wouldn't believe it."

"Why is Zhao Zhao so sure?" Chu Xuanchi liked her self-confidence, but was also worried that she would be too confident and become conceited.

Mo Zhaohua blinked, "I have already said in front of my father that day that I have to take my mother's family's reputation into consideration and don't want it to affect me."

It was because she had a clear understanding of the personalities of Mo Yun and the mother and daughter of the Xue family that she was able to make things develop as she wished.

Chu Xuanchi felt relieved. "This family is really interesting. I will go to the palace tomorrow and talk to my father about it to see how Mo Yun will deal with it."

He knew that Emperor Wenzong must know about Mo Yun's affairs, but might not take any action. After he brought it up, he had to ask him anyway.

"Father is not the only one who has a headache. Once the reason why he imprisoned his mother gets out, I'm afraid Prince Qi will also have a headache."

Mo Zhaohua's target this time is not only Mo Yun, he also wants to drag Mo Yaohua into the water and let Chu Xuanhan rise and fall with him.

"Zhao Zhao has thrown the three prefectures into chaos without bloodshed." Chu Xuanchi admired her calculations from the bottom of his heart.

Mo Zhaohua was afraid that he would think that he was cruel, "They were unkind to me first, I was just forced to fight back."

Chu Xuanchi gently comforted her, "Zhao Zhao, you don't need to explain to me. I don't think you are cruel. Revenge should be taken."

Mo Zhaohua finished acupuncture and sat down aside. "Good people are often bullied. I don't want to end up like my mother."

Chu Xuanchi said firmly: "If no one offends me, I will not offend anyone. If someone offends me, I don't need to swallow my anger."

Mo Zhaohua breathed a sigh of relief, completely relieved, "Since Mu Chi can understand, I am relieved."
