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

Wanxiangju.

Mo Zhaohua came after lunch.

Rong Qing had just woken up and still looked a little tired.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, the heat is getting stronger, and people are becoming more and more listless.

Rong Qing still hasn't figured it out, "Zhao Zhao, why do you want me to invite your second aunt and her daughter to our house?"

Mo Yun is the eldest in the family and has a younger brother named Mo Tao, who currently serves as a deputy minister in the Ministry of Rites.

The Mo Mansion is several streets away from the Minister of Revenue's Mansion, and on weekdays, only people come to visit Old Madam Mo.

The cousin who served as an official at Mo Zhaohua's coming-of-age ceremony was Mo Yun's legitimate daughter, Mo Shuhua, who was fourteen years old.

The two families have never had a close relationship, but yesterday Mo Zhaohua asked Rong Qing to invite Mo Tao's wife Xue to bring their daughter to their house.

Rong Qing asked the reason at that time, but Mo Zhaohua did not answer. Although she had done as he asked, she was still curious.

Mo Zhaohua took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, "Isn't my cousin discussing marriage? As relatives, we should be concerned."

"This doesn't seem like something Zhao Zhao would do in his spare time. I heard that you are either busy reading medical books or making clothes."

Mo Zhaohua put down his teacup with a smile, "Okay, my concern is fake, but my real intention is to cause trouble for my good half-sister..."

In the entire Shengjing City, the most popular woman right now is Mo Yaohua, and the discussion about her has become rampant.

This was not only due to Mo Zhaohua's secret guidance, but also due to the instigation of Yuchi Jiuyue and Chu Xuanchi.

When Mo Yaohua first flew onto the treetops and turned into a phoenix, she was the object of envy and admiration of the concubines, who regarded her as the light of concubines.

After the conspiracy theory of the Princess's Mansion emerged, Mo Yaohua's reputation suddenly changed. The legitimate daughters looked down on her, and the concubine's daughters also despised her.

When Yuchi Jiuyue's conditions were spread, everyone laughed at Mo Yaohua, saying that he had made all the plans but ended up making wedding dresses for others.

In short, Mo Yaohua's reputation is now ruined, and he has become the topic of conversation among people in major pubs and teahouses.

As the saying goes, family honor and disgrace are shared. If Mo Yaohua's reputation is ruined, the other girls in the Mo family will also be implicated.

In addition to his biological brother Mo Tao, Mo Yun also has half-brothers and several uncles, and the marriage plans of the girls in their families are also affected.

After Rong Qing heard Mo Zhaohua's plan, his expression became a little complicated, "Zhao Zhao is planning to use your second aunt and cousin?"

Mo Zhaohua was afraid that his scheming would disgust Rong Qing, "Mother, do you think Zhao Zhao is very bad?"

Rong Qing shook his head slowly, "No, I feel sorry for Zhao Zhao. A delicate girl like her has to consider so many things."

Mo Zhaohua's eyes were firm. "Mother, Zhao Zhao doesn't ask for anything else. I just ask that you believe that Zhao Zhao has a clear conscience."

Rong Qing solemnly promised, "No matter what Zhao Zhao does, although mother can't help, she will always support you behind the scenes."

Mo Zhaohua stood up and bowed to Rong Qing, "The daughter thanks her mother."

Then the mother and daughter chatted for a while, and then the maid came to report that Madam Mo and Miss Tang were coming over.

Mo Zhaohua smiled and looked at Rong Qing, "Mother, are you ready to watch the show? Zhao Zhao is going to fan the flames."

Rong Qing adjusted her hair bun and said, "Don't worry, I am not only ready to watch the show, I will also help Zhao Zhao light the fire."

Mo Zhaohua walked over with a smile as beautiful as a flower, and took Rong Qing's arm, "May we, mother and daughter, be of one mind, and our strength will cut through metal."

Xue and Mo Shuhua were waiting outside. Rong Qing and Mo Zhaohua went out to say hello and then took their seats.

After sitting down, they started chatting about daily life, and then Mo Zhaohua gradually brought the topic to Mo Shuhua.

Mo Zhaohua looked at Mo Shuhua, who was wearing a hanging bun, and said, "Second Aunt, Sister Shuhua should have her coming-of-age ceremony next year, right?"

Xue was the daughter of a wealthy businessman with a solid family background. All these years, Mo Tao's personal connections in official circles were managed entirely with her dowry.

She doesn't know how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy or painting, she only knows how to run the shop, and she seems quite shrewd. "I plan to hold the wedding ceremony next year."

Rong Qingming asked knowingly, "Are there any marriage proposals at the moment?"

Xue was in a bad mood when this matter was mentioned. "I have met a few people before."

Why before? Of course it’s because matchmakers have rarely come to the house recently, and some even avoid it.

Occasionally, there would be matchmakers coming to the door, but the people they introduced were all unattractive, either from poor families or illegitimate children.

Although Mo Tao's official position is not high, only the fifth rank, but with Mo Yun's help, he still has the opportunity to move up.

Putting aside other things, there is still hope for him to be promoted to the fifth rank doctor within three years. So how could his daughter marry down?

Mo Zhaohua deliberately said something irrelevant, "Sister Shuhua has such a good personality, she will definitely find a good family."

Rong Qing cooperated, "Second Master has a good chance of promotion, and Shuhua is the legitimate daughter of the family, so there will be a good husband for her."

She didn't know whether Mo Tao could really be promoted, she only knew that Xue would definitely like to hear this and would also be stimulated.

Even though Xue came from a merchant family, she was very ambitious and always wanted Mo Shuhua to marry into a wealthy family.

Mrs. Xue had no words to say, "Don't worry, Shuhua is still young, her father and I want to keep her for two more years."

She tried to change the subject, but Rong Qing and Mo Zhaohua insisted on talking to her about Mo Shuhua's marriage proposal.

Rong Qing smiled and said, "Zhao Zhao and Yao Jie'er will both be getting married this year. If Shuhua can also settle down, the old lady will definitely be happy."

As a girl, Mo Shuhua was not good at speaking, but they talked a lot, especially when they mentioned Mo Yaohua, she couldn't help it.

Her eyes were red with grievance, "What's the point of deciding? No one is coming to propose marriage now, and those who come are all ugly."

Some time ago, because Mo Yaohua was pregnant with the emperor's eldest grandson, the threshold of the Mo Mansion was almost broken down by matchmakers.

Recently, also because of Mo Yaohua, the Mo family has been deserted, and the few matchmakers who exist introduce people to her at random.

No matter whether he is the son of a merchant or a bastard from a low-class family, the matchmaker dared to let her see him, as if she was already unmarriageable.

But the ones introduced to her before were either the legitimate sons of officials, or the illegitimate sons of noble families, or at least scholars.

This huge gap has already caused Mo Yaohua to have an emotional breakdown. She has cried countless times in her room these days.

Mo Zhaohua pretended to be puzzled, "How could this be? With Sister Shuhua's family background and her own conditions, this shouldn't be the case, right?"

Mo Shuhua gritted her teeth and said, "It's all because of Mo Yaohua. She became a phoenix and caused our reputation to be damaged."

Xue kept winking at her, "Shuhua, stop talking nonsense. This has nothing to do with Sister Yao."

No matter how bad Mo Yaohua was, she was still Mo Zhaohua's half-sister, and should always be closer to her than their uncles and aunts.

Xue was not afraid of Rong Qing and Mo Zhaohua. What she was afraid of was that Mo Shuhua would speak out of turn and offend Mo Yun.

Mo Tao's promotion still depends on Mo Yun, and Mo Yun favors Lan Ruyu, so he can't afford to offend Mo Yaohua either.

For Mo Tao's future, no matter how dissatisfied Xue was with Mo Yaohua, she could not show it at all.

Mo Shuhua couldn't think of these interests. "My marriage was ruined by her. Can't I even say a word?"

Mo Zhaohua and Rong Qing looked at each other. Their fanning of the flames was successful. The next step was to find something for the old lady to do.
