Old Madam Mo put the big gold bracelet on her hand and looked at it left and right.

As she watched, she asked Aunt Liu, "Do you think I was wrong before? Shouldn't I have favored Sheng'er and his sister?"

Aunt Liu didn't dare to admit that she was wrong, so she had to deny it with a smile, "How could the old lady be wrong?"

"Rong Qing is the eldest daughter of the Duke, her aunt is the Queen Mother, and her sister is Consort De. Even if she doesn't have a son, her status is still noble."

"This..." Nanny Liu didn't know how to respond. If she did, she might say something the old lady wouldn't like to hear.

Madam Mo added, "Doesn't the Empress Dowager have a legitimate son? She is still the Empress Dowager, and the Emperor still has to pay his respects."

Madam Liu agreed, "That's true, but the eldest young master and the third young lady will definitely remember the old lady's kindness."

Madam Mo took off her gold bracelet and said, "Brother Sheng is not good at studying, and Sister Yao is a concubine. Can the Mo family really rely on them?"

Madam Liu asked uncertainly, "What does the old lady think now?"

Madam Mo's eyes were cloudy. "Sister Zhao is the principal wife. She has a say in Prince Yu's Mansion. Only then can she really help the Mo Mansion."

"But isn't His Royal Highness already..." Nanny Liu lowered her voice to a very low level before she dared to speak, "Is he useless?"

Madam Mo said with some disdain, "Prince Qi has the Crown Prince and Prince Jin above him, so he may not have a chance."

Madam Liu confirmed with her, "The old lady wants to use the power of Prince Yu through the Second Miss?"

"Prince Yu has military merits, and his words in front of the emperor are more useful than those of Prince Qi. We can only rely on them for Second Master's affairs."

Yesterday, Mo Tao came to see Madam Mo to arrange for her promotion, and she went to see Mo Yun that night.

As a result, Mo Yun was busy dealing with Mo Yaohua's affairs and explicitly rejected her, which made her feel depressed and angry.

After seeing the rewards from the palace today and Mo Zhaohua's gift, she set her sights on Prince Yu.

Aunt Liu thought of the old lady's previous attitude towards Mo Zhaohua, "But will the second young lady agree?"

Madam Mo looked confident, "If I give her some sweet treats, how can she not take the bait?"

Madam Liu reminded, "If Miss San knew, she would be unhappy, right?"

Madam Mo disagreed, "A concubine's daughter is worthy? If it weren't for Sheng Ge'er, would I give her face?"

Madam Liu considered it more, "But Miss Three is no longer the same as before. She wants to enter Prince Qi's mansion as a concubine."

Madam Mo didn't care. "As long as I can coax her, the Mo family will share honor and disgrace with her, and she will be grateful."

It was the first time that Madam Liu had seen someone who was so good at changing with the wind. She was really afraid that the situation would capsize and neither side would be happy.

***

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

In a corner of the table, there was a letter from Mo Zhaohua during the day.

Chu Xuanchi would occasionally glance at the envelope and then remember what was inside.

The content of the letter was very simple. It was Mo Zhaohua thanking him for the gifts he had sent and the rewards from the palace.

The fact that she could guess that the reward from the palace was related to him was enough to show that she was an intelligent woman.

This letter was written by Prince Yu himself. Wuying had not read it, but he could guess that it was good news from Chu Xuanchi's expression when he read the letter.

Chu Xuanchi never showed his emotions in front of outsiders, but he would not do that in front of him, which made it easier for him to guess his master's mood.

"Yueying's letter hasn't arrived yet?" Chu Xuanchi glanced at the hourglass. Usually he would have finished reading by this time.

"It should be soon." Wuying could see that he was getting a little anxious waiting, and even seemed absent-minded when handling official business.

Not long after, there was a noise outside the study. It was the person who came to deliver a letter to Yueying. Wuying responded and asked him to come in.

The visitor lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Chu Xuanchi. He came in, bowed, handed the letter to Wuying, and left.

As soon as the door closed, Wuying handed over the letter and squeezed it, "Today's letter is thicker than usual."

Chu Xuanchi took it and couldn't wait to open it and read it. He first glanced through it roughly, and then read the parts he was interested in carefully.

For example, in today's letter, what he cared about was the way Mo Zhaohua addressed him and her resentment towards Old Madam Mo.

Wuying boldly looked at Chu Xuanchi's expression, and when he saw him pursing his lips, he knew that Miss Mo had done something to make him happy again.

Wuying even dared to tease him, "Master seems to be in a good mood today. It seems that you should go out more often in the future."

Chu Xuanchi handed the letter forward after reading it. "This is you. If it were someone else, they would have been dragged out long ago."

Wuying reached out his hand and took it with a smile, "Isn't this subordinate's courage given by the master?"

Even though he is Chu Xuanchi's subordinate, the two actually have a brotherly relationship that others cannot envy.

"Read it and reply." Chu Xuanchi picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip, and the aroma of tea filled the air.

Wuying read it carefully and asked, "Master, are you still worried that Miss Mo is a honey trap set by Prince Qi?"

Chu Xuanchi put down the teacup and said, "As the saying goes, those involved are often confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly. What do you think as an outsider?"

Wuying said seriously: "Based on my observations and combined with Yueying's information, I think Miss Mo is trustworthy."

Chu Xuanchi's expression was serious but also a little sad. "Aren't you afraid that what happened to Leng Ying will happen again?"

Wuying's eyes were firm, "If I really trust the wrong person this time, I will be the next Lengying."

"I want to believe her, but I can't afford the risk. I don't want any of you to become cold shadows."

Chu Xuanchi looked down at his legs, memories of the past flooded into his mind, and his hands subconsciously clenched into fists.

Wuying hesitated for a moment before asking, "I dare to ask, does the master have any bad feelings towards Miss Mo?"

Chu Xuanchi took a deep breath and said, "As a brother, I don't want to hide it from you. I'm afraid I've already fallen in love with Zhao Zhao."

Wuying smiled, "I know it, but you can't test Miss Mo again and again."

Chu Xuanchi also knew that long-term testing was not good, "If I don't test you, how can I trust Zhao Zhao again?"

Wuying thought for a moment and said, "Master is not someone who indulges in beauty. Just trust your own judgment."

Chu Xuanchi quietly released his clenched fist, “This king is afraid that he will act on his emotions, make mistakes in judgment, and harm others and himself.”

Wuying could understand him, "Master, you have been bitten by a snake once, and you are afraid of straw ropes for ten years, so you have lost your confidence."

Chu Xuanchi was a few years younger than him and had always treated him like an elder brother. "Then let me give it a try?"

"Master, don't be afraid. With your ability, even if Miss Mo is really a spy, you can still instigate her to rebel."

Wuying believed that as long as Chu Xuanchi was not seduced by beauty and indulged in love, instigating rebellion would be a trivial matter.

Chu Xuanchi was comforted, "You really trust me. If I had a brother, I might not be able to do this."

Wuying said firmly, "That's because I know my master's character and abilities better than anyone else."

Chu Xuanchi couldn't help laughing, "You can praise me as much as you want. If my tail goes up to the sky one day, it will be your fault."

Wuying's hearty laughter echoed in the study, "Haha..."
