What? Playing games can also save your husband

"Miss, the lady is here to see you."

Yu'er walked to Mo Chen's door and reported with a smile on her face as if she had encountered some happy event.

Mrs. Qin?

No one comes to visit for no reason. I'm afraid that old guy Qin Xizong is going to make a move.

"Let her in."

Mo Chen gave a meaningful smile, it looked like the show was about to begin.

"sit."

Mo Chen raised his head and motioned for Madam Qin to sit down.

It was still a very rude act, which made Mrs. Qin feel a little angry, but when she thought of her purpose, she could only pretend to be amiable and sit down.

"It's been a while since I returned to the Qin family. Madam hasn't come to my yard during this period, but she suddenly came to visit today. I guess there's something important going on?"

Mo Chen asked straight to the point.

"I do have something to ask you today." Mrs. Qin acted like a loving mother and looked at Mo Chen gently.

"You are finally back, isn't it? This is a great thing for our Xiangfu, so the master asked me to hold a banquet for you and invite all the wealthy families in the capital to come, so that everyone can get to know you, the eldest daughter of the Xiangfu."

"Oh? Then who are you planning to invite?" Mo Chen raised his eyebrows and looked quite interested.

Seeing this, Madam Qin's eyes flashed with pride, "With the status of the Prime Minister, of course the people who come are the royal relatives and ministers above the first rank. Even the emperor will come at that time."

So that's how it is. Using her as an excuse, he held a banquet and gathered all the dignitaries in the capital at the prime minister's residence, especially that one person. Although the emperor would bring guards when he traveled, he would not bring too many people when he was only attending a banquet hosted by ministers. Therefore, if he wanted to control them all at that time, it would be much easier than in the palace.

Don’t say that this old fox is indeed thoughtful.

After figuring it all out, Mo Chen turned his eyes and looked at Madam Qin again, "Are you coming here this time to ask me to cooperate?"

"That's right." Mo Chen pointed out her purpose directly, and Mrs. Qin no longer concealed it, "After all, you are..."

"I agree. When exactly?" Mo Chen interrupted Mrs. Qin before she could finish her words.

This surprised Mrs. Qin. She had thought it would take a lot of persuasion to get Mo Chen to agree, but she actually agreed just like that? ! !

"Why did you agree so quickly?"

Mrs. Qin frowned, her face full of confusion. It was a rare occasion that she didn't act and showed her truest reaction. She believed that there must be something wrong when things were not normal. She always felt that this little girl was up to something bad.

"Haha," Mo Chen smiled softly, "Do you think there must be something strange about me agreeing so easily?"

"Mrs. Qin probably doesn't know how Qin Xizong treated us mother and daughter in the past, right?"

A mocking smile appeared on Mo Chen's lips, and under Mrs. Qin's puzzled gaze, he told her all the things Qin Xizong had done, including abandoning his wife and children.

"That's right. The young lady from a wealthy family that Qin Xizong later married was you. However, Madam Qin, you don't have to worry. I don't hate you, because even if you weren't there, there would definitely be other women."

Mo Chen looked at Madam Qin with a frank expression, and indeed there was no trace of hatred in his eyes. "Qin Xizong is a very selfish person. He only married a stepping stone for him to rise to the top. So as long as the family background is prominent, anyone is the same. Madam, you are just unlucky to have met him. I think the decline of your family is also related to Qin Xizong, right?"

"How do you know?!!"

Mrs. Qin could not help but clench the handkerchief in her palm. If she could start over again, she would rather live alone for the rest of her life than marry Qin Xizong. He used to be very good to her and she once thought that she was the happiest woman in the world. But when his official position became higher and higher and her family could no longer bring him more help, this man gradually revealed his true colors.

He first used some means to get his father dismissed for corruption, forcing her family to depend on him. Later, he married many concubines, and all the vows they had made to each other were trampled under his feet.

Although on the surface she was still Mrs. Qin, she no longer had the pride she once had. If it weren't for the fact that her family was still in his hands, she would have given up long ago.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Qin's lips couldn't help but tremble a little, but she quickly suppressed the emotion.

Mo Chen saw how upset Mrs. Qin was, and did not provoke her any further. Instead, he slowed down his tone and said soothingly,

"Mrs. Qin, don't think too much. I'm telling you all this because I think you're a pitiful person, so I don't want to embarrass you. And even if I don't agree to your request, Qin Xizong will definitely find ways to get me to attend. So instead of struggling, it's better to just agree. Maybe it will be easier."

Madam Qin opened her mouth, wanting to say something but stopping herself. After hesitating for a moment, she still didn't say anything more. She just replied dryly, "I'm glad you think so. The banquet will be held in three days. In the next few days, people will send you new clothes and jewelry. You can pick out some that you like and wear them out when the time comes."

"Since I have finished what I want to say and you have no objection, I will go back first."

After saying this, Mrs. Qin stood up and pretended to leave.

Mo Chen nodded slightly and said calmly, "Then I won't see you off."

Looking at Mrs. Qin's receding back, Mo Chen poured himself a cup of tea. After talking for so long, he still felt thirsty.

The women in the backyard of the prime minister's mansion are all very pitiful. If I can help them in the future, it may be a good thing to accumulate virtue.

Three days passed quickly. During this period, Luo Yunche did not sneak into the Prime Minister's Mansion again in order to make complete preparations. However, through the spies they arranged in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mo Chen was well aware of their plans.

In order to prepare for this banquet, the prime minister's residence has been quite lively these days. Every day, many people are busy outside the yard. The clothes and jewelry they send to her are in boxes, which makes Mo Chen's eyes dazzled. Anyway, her grandfather is just a decoration in this banquet, and Mo Chen is too lazy to choose. She can just pick one at random when the time comes.

"There are so many guests today. Our residence hasn't been so lively for a long time."

"Yes, yes, the master is really good to the young lady. In such a grand occasion, which young lady in the capital can compare with him?"

"Okay, both of you be quiet and hand me the hairpin."

Yu'er scolded the two little girls who were chatting nearby, and continued to dress up Mo Chen.

“Does it feel like something is missing?”

Yu'er held several hairpins in her hands, and tried them on Mo Chen's head one by one, determined to find the best and most suitable one.

"That's enough." Mo Chen opened his hazy eyes and looked at the pile of fancy jewelry on his head. He said helplessly, "Yu'er, too much is as bad as too little. I think it looks good already."

"Well, all right, they are all very Miss." Yu'er put down the pearl hairpin in her hand and looked carefully at Mo Chen in the mirror, "The rouge on Miss's face seems to have faded a little. I will touch it up for you."

After saying that, Yu'er picked up the rouge and started a new round of busy work.
