Ningxu: "Young Master."

When Mo Tang heard that it was Ningxu's voice, he stopped crying and rushed straight towards Ningxu, hugging her tightly, which made the second master so envious.

Second Master: "Rumeng, what did you do to make Tang'er stick to you so much?"

Even without looking at the Second Master, Ning Xu could tell from his tone that he wanted to teach him a lesson. "Second Master, may I ask when and how did the young master start to be unwilling to stay with you? What happened?"

What happened? The second master thought about it carefully in his head, "It seems that Xi'er passed by and said a few words to me, and then Tang'er clamored to go back."

Ningxu looked at the second master with a look of relief. The second master also figured out the reason and sighed slightly, "Hey, Tang'er and Xi'er have been at odds since they were young. They are so different that there shouldn't be any conflicts, but they just don't like each other."

The second master was helpless. He also wanted his family to be harmonious and prosperous, but he had no choice as he had to take care of both sides of his hand.

The second master shook his head and walked out of the yard, his back looking lonely. Rumeng was back, and Tang'er no longer needed him.

Mo Tang was tired of crying, and when the second wife came back, she saw the two children sleeping on the bed. After asking the maid about the whole story, the second wife knew that it was Mo Xi who made Mo Tang unhappy, and she came to the second master's yard with a cold face and knocked on the second master's door.

The second master was very happy when he opened the door, and quickly invited the second lady into the house.

Second Master: "Madam, how come you have time to come to my place today?" The Second Master smiled at the Second Madam.

The Second Madam walked to the table and sat down. "I heard that Mo Xi made Tang Er angry again today?"

The Second Master saw that something was not right and that the Second Madam seemed to be looking for Mo Xi to settle accounts, so he quickly smiled and apologized, "No, it's just the children's nonsense. The two children have different personalities, so it's hard for us to say who is right or wrong, right?"

Second Madam: "Why did I hear Mo Xi laugh at Tang'er and call her a fool?" Second Madam picked up the teacup and drank water, her face showing an unfathomable expression.

Second Master: "No, absolutely not! My dear Madam, Xi'er is still young and will not do it again. I have already severely reprimanded her!"

"Hmph." The Second Madam sneered, "Master, we agreed that each of us would take care of one child. Sheng'er has now secured her position as Consort Ping in the palace. I don't expect you to teach Mo Xi to be like her, but you should at least have some common manners, right?"

"Yes, yes, ma'am, you are right. I will definitely discipline him strictly!"

The second wife glanced at him calmly, then stood up and went back to the yard. The second master heaved a sigh of relief when he saw her leave, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

Indeed, in order to be fair, he and his wife agreed that each of them would be responsible for the education of one child. The second wife liked Mo Xi very much at first, but Mo Xi's character became more and more distorted, and he eventually became the naughty child that the second wife hated the most.

After all this trouble, the second master came to Mo Xi's room under the cover of night and saw the girl playing with a parrot.

Mo Xi: "Dad! You finally came to see me. I thought you only wanted Mo Tang."

Second Master: "Xi'er, how can you say that? Tang'er is your brother, and he has been introverted since he was a child. As a sister, you should always consider him when you speak. Look at what you said today."

Mo Xi: "What's wrong? I just said he was like a stone. I was right. He's stupid and slow to react. No wonder no one likes to play with him. Who likes a dull person?"

Second Master, "You...can't you learn from Rumeng? She is a maid but she can make Tang'er happy. What's more, you are Tang'er's biological sister. You should set an example! You are now a princess appointed by the emperor. Your every move is watched by someone."

Mo Xi listened to this and it seemed to make sense. She had passed her coming-of-age ceremony at the age of 18, and the Second Madam could not stand the pressure from the ministers in the court, so she went to the palace to ask for the imperial decree to make her a princess.

The late emperor's original words were to confer a title on the child in Princess Yonghe's belly: a daughter would be a princess, and a son would be a prince.

The timing of this statement was when Mo Sheng was already born and she was pregnant with Mo Xi. The Second Madam didn't want to give it to her, after all, she was not worthy of the position at the moment, she was just a daughter of a royal family and she was domineering in the capital, and she would definitely make many mistakes if she became a princess.

But the second wife could not resist the wishes of the ministers.

Mo Xi was overjoyed when she knew she had become a princess. Her status was even more noble. How could she be easily outshined by a maid like Ru Meng? She just looked like a little brat. She didn't believe she couldn't handle Mo Tang!

Mo Xi: "Dad, don't worry, I will go to improve my relationship with Tang'er tomorrow, and I promise I won't let you down."

The second master: "Hey, this is daddy's good daughter!" The second master put his arm around Mo Xi's shoulders and patted her as if he was very optimistic about her.

After the second lady returned to the yard, the two children woke up, so she asked Ningxu to go back and rest.

At night, the second wife carried Mo Tang, who had just taken a bath, back to his room and put him on the bed. Unexpectedly, Mo Tang asked her a question that she was not expecting.

Mo Tang: "Mother, why does my sister call you Second Madam and Second Master?" Mo Tang watched Ning Xu getting along with them these past few days and couldn't understand why.

The Second Madam wiped the roots of his hair, "Tang'er, why do you ask that?"

Mo Tang: "Isn't my sister my mother's daughter..." Before he could finish the last word, the Second Madam covered his mouth.

The Second Madam looked at Mo Tang in shock, "Tang'er, how do you know this?"

Mo Tang leaned back to avoid the Second Madam's hand and whispered, "Didn't I say it last time? I dreamed that my sister would come back to find us."

The second lady didn't expect that. She thought that Mo Tang's so-called dream was just about Ning Xu's real name, but she didn't expect that Mo Tang actually knew her life experience. "Tang'er, don't mention this to anyone in the future. Do you hear me?"

Mo Tang looked at his mother's serious expression, and his doubts deepened. "Why?"

Second Madam: "Because if other people knew about this, not only would your sister Rumeng be in danger, but our entire family and even the entire Mo Palace would be in danger. So you must never mention it again, do you understand?"

Mo Tang nodded blankly. Although he didn't know what danger his mother was talking about, he always listened to her. Even if he had to keep this secret to himself, he would never tell her again.

After the Second Madam coaxed Mo Tang to sleep, she went out to look at the moon, feeling infinite emotion in her heart. If she had held out for a little longer and not asked for the imperial edict, things wouldn't have become so troublesome...
