Back at the house, Xiao Yanqing's fiery eyes looked straight at her.

As she faced him, she curled the corners of her lips and seemed very happy that he came to see her.

But behind her smile, she seemed to be telling him that everything that happened last night was an illusion, a nightmare.

"Are you okay?" he asked suddenly.

She nodded.

"You asked Hua Niang to pass it on?"

"Yes." She admitted with a smile.

"Why?" How could she be so smart and not know the impact of these rumors.

This question made her confused. "Isn't this what Your Highness meant?"

"I didn't ask you to do this." Is this woman so cruel to herself? !

Her pupils moved slightly, and she sighed helplessly, "Your Highness, we have to adapt to the situation. Since Jiang Mo has found me, we can use this opportunity to lure Jiang Zhuo here in person. Isn't this the previous plan?"

Of course he knew it, but his heart felt like it was being pressed down by a thousand-pound stone. He knew it was the right thing to do, but he couldn't convince himself to continue. He was even more annoyed with himself for having such emotions.

"Aren't you afraid?"

After some hesitation, she said frankly, "I'm afraid."

"But…"

"Want to go back?" he interrupted her.

"Going back to the palace?" he confirmed again.

"Yeah, I think so."

"I will take you back."

She stared into his eyes blankly, hesitantly, "Your Highness, now is the best time to calm people's hearts and create more public opinion. We can't stop, nor can we take it lightly."

"Aren't you afraid? Why do you continue?"

She noticed that he was different today and smiled slightly.

"Don't you have His Highness behind me?" Of course she remembered what was said last night. Even if it was fake, it was good.

Because she kept telling herself in her heart that, sooner or later, it would be true.

He stared into her star-shattered eyes, smiling broadly, covering up all his emotions.

"Okay, I will come over in the next few days, and my people will protect you at any time."

A warm feeling surged into her heart. Was it a confirmation of what she said? Or perhaps, it was more like a promise to herself.

"Okay, thank you, Your Highness." She felt relieved with his words.

He thought for a moment, then spoke, "Don't you want to know who caused all this?"

"It seems that His Highness already knows." No wonder he just came from the inside of Huanxiang Pavilion. He must have gone to see Kuiyue.

"You know?" This surprised him a little.

"I happened to see it at that time, so it must be her."

"Why don't you tell me?!" He said with a slightly displeased tone.

"Miss Kuiyue did nothing wrong. She just sped up our pace."

"Do you really think so?" He didn't think she was such a generous person. This situation could only mean that she didn't care, but her situation and reaction yesterday didn't seem like she didn't care at all.

"Ah."

"lie."

"Has Jiang Mo hurt you before?" He didn't understand. They were obviously siblings. Even if he couldn't protect her as an older brother, they wouldn't become enemies.

But on second thought, how good can this brother be if even his father wants to get rid of him?

"Yeah." She responded softly again, obviously deliberately avoiding the topic.

Jiang Qingyu's experience was as terrible as hers. She even felt that this was what happened to her. She hated it to the core and was in agony.

He saw her lowering her eyes and being silent. For some reason, he wanted to understand her, but he didn't want to keep touching on her past pain.

"Is it really okay?"

"Well, don't worry, Your Highness."

"Okay, I won't ask anymore."

"Rest early." He turned and prepared to leave.

"Your Highness." She called him suddenly.

He turned his gaze back to meet hers, "Thank you Your Highness for spending time with me last night."

He was stunned. It turned out that she knew everything.

……

Sure enough, from that day on, the girls in Huanxiang Pavilion began to talk about her vaguely, some good and some bad. However, due to fear of her unknown identity, they did not dare to be too unscrupulous.

Naturally, the news spread quickly in the streets. The only son of the current prime minister actually had an unknown relationship with Qing Wu, the most popular prostitute in the brothel.

Some people said that she was his lover outside, while some careful people noticed that they looked similar and speculated about the relationship between them.

Inside the Jiang Mansion, Jiang Zhuo was already furious. He had always valued his face and never thought that the good reputation he had achieved throughout his life would become a laughing stock in the blink of an eye.

"Pa!" A slap landed firmly on Jiang Mo's face.

"Do you have any brains at all?!"

"Are you satisfied now that the news has spread throughout the streets and alleys?!" Jiang Zhuo's scolding echoed throughout the mansion.

Jiang Mo knelt on the ground, angry but not daring to speak.

"Tell me! How do we clean up this mess?!"

Jiang Mo pursed his lips and spoke carefully, "I know I was wrong, and I will do my best to make amends."

"Redeem?! How to redeem her? Go find her again? Will she come back with you obediently?!" Jiang Zhuo was so angry that he felt dizzy and the woman next to him kept stroking his chest.

"This kid is really pissing me off to death!" After being comforted by the woman, he sat back in his seat.

"My dear husband, it's okay for me to teach the child." The woman leaned over and knelt.

"It's none of your business, blame me! I was too indulgent to him!" Jiang Zhuo looked down at Jiang Mo who was lying on the ground with his head lowered, trying to calm his anger.

The woman did not stand up, and continued: "My husband, don't say that. Mo'er did something wrong and should be punished by the family law. But before that, you should give Mo'er a chance to redeem himself."

After hearing this, Jiang Mo raised his head slightly and looked at his mother beside him.

"Redeem?! I can't afford to lose face like this anymore!"

"Please trust Mo'er again, and we will be able to quell this rumor." The woman quickly signaled to Jiang Mo who was kneeling on the ground with her eyes.

Jiang Mo understood and quickly said, "Dad, please give me another chance."

Jiang Zhuo sighed deeply and said, "Forget it, it can't be that bad."

"After you're done, go and collect the family rules yourself."

"Yes, thank you, Dad."

"You should get up too."

"Yes, thank you, husband."

After the woman stood up and gestured, Jiang Mo left with her.

"I'm sorry, mother." Jiang Mo bowed his head and apologized.

"Mo'er, you know very well that your father cares most about his reputation." The woman was a little helpless.

"I'm sorry, because I couldn't control myself when I saw Jiang Qingyu's appearance..." Jiang Mo had silently made a note of this in his heart.

Relying on someone's protection, she actually dared to disobey his orders. Damn it!

"You have also noticed that there is someone behind Jiang Qingyu. Now she is a popular figure. Who knows how many people are protecting her."

"Mother, you're right. It was my fault for being negligent. Then... Mother, what should we do next?" Mother pleaded for him, believing that there must be a way to meet Jiang Qingyu and solve this problem.

After thinking about it, the woman put forward her plan.

"This..." Jiang Mo pursed his lips and frowned, obviously very reluctant to this plan.

"This is the best solution now," the woman said frankly.

"But…"

"Mo'er, your goal is to see her. As for what you want to do, does she dare to resist?"

Jiang Mo was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood what his mother meant. "That's right, mother."

"But mother, what if she still refuses to come back with me?"

"Silly child, your purpose is to save the current situation, find out what she has to say, and then come back to report the truth to your father." The woman pointed out.

"I see." Jiang Mo quickly bowed and saluted, "Thank you, mother."

"Get up, and remember, you must be careful in the future." The woman reminded again and again.

"Yes, Moer remembered it."

"Go."

Jiang Mo then stood up and left. With his mother's idea, he was afraid that he would not be able to subdue Jiang Qingyu.

Jiang Qingyu, just wait for me. I will repay you for all the suffering I am going through now in the future!
