The villain who defeated the son of destiny was my father

In the slowly moving carriage, Mo Li's face was stern, and his cold eyes swept over the uneasy woman beside him. Although he didn't say a word, the sense of oppression emanating from him was full, as if there was an invisible mountain pressing on Qu Xinzhu's heart, making her more flustered.

Finally, Qu Xinzhu couldn't stand this dull and depressing atmosphere anymore. She bit her lower lip, hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "Li, it's my fault for what happened today, but I also want to help you." There was a hint of caution in her voice, and her eyes were full of flattery and pleading, trying to make Mo Li calm down.

"Help me?" Mo Li sneered when he heard this, and his laughter was full of sarcasm. In his opinion, this stupid woman had caused him a lot of trouble on a daily basis. It was a blessing for her not to cause trouble for him. What she said about helping him was simply a joke.

Qu Xinzhu was afraid that he would not believe her, so she hurriedly explained, "Yes, I know that you have been worried about the affairs of the court recently, so I want to share your worries. I heard that Sima Zheng is highly regarded by His Majesty and has a lot of weight in the court, so I want to build a good relationship with him, so that I can win him over and help you in the court in the future."

In order to avoid Mo Li's anger as much as possible, she could only defend her actions today under the banner of doing it for his own good, and only hoped that Mo Li would see her "thoughts" and not pursue the matter any further.

Mo Li looked at the stupid and self-righteous woman in front of him, his heart full of anger but nowhere to vent, "If you really want to help me, don't be stupid in the future! If it weren't for good luck, you and I would have been caught in this matter today, can you use your brains!"

"Li..." Qu Xinzhu's eyes were red, and she looked at him more and more aggrievedly. She looked so pitiful, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Mo Li knew that she was still useful, so he took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, then said, "The Prime Minister is not in the capital these days. If you can find a way to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it will be considered as a favor to this king."

"What are you going back to the Prime Minister's Mansion for?" Qu Xinzhu didn't understand what he meant.

Mo Li did not intend to explain, but stared at her with a bad look on his face, and said in an unquestionable tone: "This king has his own magic tricks, you don't need to ask more questions, just do it."

"Li, you...are you attracted to that woman Qu Qingyan?" Qu Xinzhu was not a fool. Now in the Prime Minister's Mansion, there was only Qu Qingyan's legitimate daughter left.

Thinking back to the beginning, Mo Li married her because of her status as the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter. Later, her status was revealed, and it caused quite a stir. She knew very well that Mo Li must have regretted this marriage a long time ago.

Mo Li's thoughts were exposed, and his expression suddenly became unhappy. He scolded in a harsh tone: "I have important things to do, how can a jealous woman like you know it?"

"Jealous woman?" Qu Xinzhu was struck by lightning when she heard this name. She could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes. Two lines of tears slid down her cheeks, and her voice trembled a little. "So this is how you evaluate me in your heart?"

Once upon a time, her tears looked so pitiful in Mo Li's eyes that they aroused his full pity.

But now, she no longer loves him. The tears falling into his eyes only make him feel annoyed, and he wishes she could shut up immediately.

Mo Li looked away impatiently, his brows furrowed, his eyes full of impatience, and he didn't even look at her.

But Qu Xinzhu refused. Her heart was full of grievances and unwillingness. While crying, she complained about his ungratefulness: "Mo Li, I'm so infatuated with you, but you look at me like this? Yes, what happened today was my fault, but didn't I try my best to make up for it later? If I hadn't found a way to get rid of that group of trash in time, how could you and I have easily gotten rid of the relationship? But what about you? Just for that woman Qu Qingyan, you actually said that I was a jealous woman. How could you treat me like this?" She became more and more sad as she spoke, and her crying echoed in the narrow carriage, which was particularly harsh.

Mo Li's focus was on her getting rid of the group of bandits.

When he thought of the sudden and bizarre strong wind, and the strange scene of the bandits dying in an instant, a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

"Okay, Zhu'er, it's all my fault. I was so angry that I said nonsense." After Mo Li's thoughts turned for a while, he put on a gentle expression. He put his arm around the heartbroken woman and comforted her softly, "You know my background. I have been bullied since I was a child, so I have never felt safe. I have worked hard to climb to my current position step by step. I am really afraid that I will fail and return to the tragic ending of my childhood, so I was a little out of control just now. Please don't take it to heart."

He said this with such sincerity that it seemed as if he was apologizing sincerely.

Hearing about the tragic childhood experience of her beloved man, Qu Xinzhu's heart softened immediately. She sniffed, stopped crying, and said with a trace of guilt: "Li, I'm sorry, I was also wrong today. If I hadn't plotted against Sima Zheng behind your back, you wouldn't have been implicated. I was inconsiderate. Please don't be angry with me, okay?"

"It's okay, Zhu'er. For you, I don't mind anything." The man's face was full of affection, and he looked at her gently. Anyone who saw his look would feel that he had deep feelings for Qu Xinzhu.

The two reconciled.

After joking for a while, Mo Li calmly turned the topic back to the group of bandits.

"Zhu'er, that strong wind was so strange, how did you do it?" When Mo Li asked this, his eyes were full of curiosity and inquiry. He kept staring at her expression, trying to find some clues from the changes in her facial expressions, as if his eyes wanted to see through her.

Qu Xinzhu smiled triumphantly and was about to blurt out.

[Master, you must not tell anyone else about the system.] At this moment, Xiaoyaer's anxious voice suddenly sounded in her mind, and she quickly spoke out to stop her.

Qu Xinzhu didn't care at all, "Li is my man, he is not an outsider."

[Master, except for the bound person, everyone else is an outsider. Moreover, Mo Li is a man of deep thoughts. If you tell him about the existence of the system, he will inevitably plot against you.] Xiaoyaer persuaded earnestly, and this was truly for her own good.

Qu Xinzhu just curled her lips and still didn't take Xiaoyaer's words to heart. She felt that Mo Li was sincere to her, so how could he plot against her?

Just when she was about to explain the reason, her words were inexplicably muted.

She couldn't utter the word "system" no matter what, as if an invisible barrier blocked her mouth.

Mo Li's eyes darkened, and he naturally noticed her abnormality.

Qu Xinzhu tried several times, but every time the words came to her lips, it was as if they were blocked and she couldn't say them. She was anxious and angry, and finally had to give up.

"Sorry, Li, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I can't say it." Qu Xinzhu looked at him apologetically.

Mo Li waved his hand to show that he didn't care.

As for what he was thinking, no one knew.
