Mo Qianxue sat in the carriage and watched the farce outside, not angry but smiling. What the hell? Was this the good show that the Empress and Princess Yuhe arranged?
She had really overestimated them. They knew nothing but these dirt-throwing tricks.
The ladies all came out approximately at the same time, though some delayed a little. Now, most of them had gone far away ahead, and the remaining two or three all stopped. Although they didn't make a sound, Mo Qianxue knew that all of them were listening.
Among these people, there were not only ladies, but also academicians. All were important people.
Awu flew into a fury but he couldn't show it, waving the whip in the air again, “Get away…”
The scholar looked wronged, “We’re a couple… Look at her! How unfair! A wife refuses to recognize her husband and orders to beat him to death… How crazy lady of Founder mansion is!”
“You’re asking for it!” Awu couldn't bear it anymore, waved the whip and was about to beat him, when a man rushed over and held his whip. It was the head guard of the forest, Head Zhang.
“He’s a husband looking for his wife. You want to kill him before he finishes? How dare you to commit crime in the imperial garden! If I didn't happen to patrol here, this man will die under your whip. Aren’t there laws? How great the lady of Founder mansion is! Even her driver can randomly kill people? …” Killing was forbidden in the imperial garden. Yet, upon she came out, there was a man stopping her carriage, and the head guard happened to appear to save this man right in time. When there were too many coincidences, they weren’t coincidences, but a trap!
Mo Qianxue knew from inside and out that the Empress’s trap was waiting for her here.
The first thing was to ruin her virginity, and then a fake husband. She had disappeared for a year, and many were curious about it. If now there was a husband coming out and she happened not to be a virgin, then it meant she had committed the crime of deceiving the Emperor, which meant death.
What a vicious heart!
Ning Shaoqing had analyzed for her that the people sent by the Mo family were killed by Shadow after they just reported a general direction, so the ones who knew their relationship were only several major people of the Xie family and the Emperor.
Her getting out of the imperial palace safely meant the Emperor recognized her identity as a lady.
Back then, the Emperor couldn't and didn't dare to linger on their relationship, because if he had done so, she would have been pushed to regardless join the camp of the Ning family, which was the last thing he wanted to see.
He could have killed her, but what he wanted more was the possible military power she possessed.
There had been two servant girls who were his spies and served her bathing and changing clothes on the first day she came back to the mansion. Hence, the Emperor was clear whether she was a virgin and which step she and Ning Shaoqing was in. This was also why he didn't kill her.
“How dare you! Our lady is still a virgin. How come she had a husband? Who are you rat to make troubles here? You must be tired of living.”
Nanny Mo lifted the curtain, walked out, cold-faced, and kicked the man.
Certainly, her kicking missed. The man was lifted by the head guard and put behind him, “You people from the Founder mansion just despise laws and randomly kill people like this?”
Nanny Mo snorted and deterred, “You trust an unknown scholar and disregard our lady’s reputation. You’re the one who is despising laws.”
Head Zhang pretended to be upright, “This man pointed out clearly names. Everybody in the capital knows that your lady disappeared for a year. If you can’t make it clear, I can let this man say that for you… Our martial artists values virtues most. Since your lady had married him as a luck wife, then she is his wife… A good woman shouldn't have a second husband, even if she is a noble lady. Even before the Emperor, it’s not reasonable for a married woman to abandon her husband.”
“How funny! You don't punish a rogue who is offending our lady but try to protect him. Weird.”
“What is weird? In my view, you have guilty conscience. If your lady is innocent and unmarried, then what are you afraid of? There are many other ladies who can check whether her virgin cinnabar is still there. Then, truth will be known.”
Mo Qianxue sneered, an official could say so much lines? She didn't believe he hadn’t rehearsed.
How thoughtful the Empress was!
However, she didn't know that the one being served by the two fake servants was the girl serving her own daughter.
This time, her scheme wouldn't work out again.
However, Mo Qianxue still wanted to watch the drama and the Emperor’s attitude to this matter.
She wasn't in a hurry!
Nanny Mo received her hint and continued, “Our lady has a seventh-level rank. You, a head guard, wants to see her virgin cinnabar and her chastity? Hilarious! If you continues to stand here, we’ll file against you to the Emperor. By then, I’m afraid you’ll suffer a lot.”
As nanny Mo spoke, Head Zhang laughed arrogantly. The fake servants were certainly let in by him, the head of guards at the peach blossom forest.
The plan had carried out seamlessly. The two didn't forget his instructions and had painted a red dot on the woman’s arm afterwards. Yet, the paint would be easily washed out by water…
Certainly, the two fake servants got their benefits upon returning and reporting that the mission was completed—death! This wasn't a joking matter. He had been told by superiors that only the dead were the best secret-keepers. He also deeply believed so.
What a poor woman this Founder mansion lady was in believing she was still a virgin!
After the smirk, when Head Zhang was going to reply, when Princess Yuhe’s voice came.
“Miss. Mo, I’m wondering whether I’m eligible to help you check?” Her voice was loud, emitting the irresistible authority of a princess.
Noises were made here and the road was blocked. Princess Yuhe came out later, so now she arrived. How could she not arrive? How could she miss the great drama her mother arranged?
Mother had ordered to do it to make her embarrassed to the full. Since it already started, the bigger the trouble was, the better. It’d be best to let the Emperor know and make the bitch can’t defend herself and at last ruin her reputation and make her a shame for her parents who couldn't rest in peace after death.
“Princess.” Mo Qianxue stepped out of the carriage, walked to the Princess’s carriage, curtsied, not answering her question but satirizing, “I heard that Princess Yuhe is mild and kind and fair. Are you going to believe in the rogue’s words without hearing me argument?”
A sigh came out of the carriage, which contained pity and helplessness, “Of course I believe Miss. Mo is innocent, but this rogue talked reasonably with proof. Much as I don't believe him, others have doubts too. It’s not good for you, an unmarried lady. I’m doing this for the sake of you.”
Then, her tone turned tough, “Don't worry, Miss. Mo, you just won the top-scorer in the garden and now there are people throwing dirt at you. I won’t tolerant such a person to live. After we prove this rogue is talking nonsense, I’ll sentence him to death immediately and report father to punish this head guard.”
No wonder she gained the fame of benevolence and wise. First to appease and then turn decisive.
Unfortunately, her opponent was Mo Qianxue.
Mo Qianxue said unhurriedly in a voice neither too loud or low, “Of course, Princess can check my arm. But I don't think it’s right!”
She emphasized on the last word, and Princess Yuhe couldn't help lifting the curtain, “Not right?” She asked in a prolonged ending, with a deterrent sneer on the corner of her lips.
Unappreciative bitch!
If it weren’t for maintaining her image before the ladies and academicians, or for pushing her to death, she would never check the already dirty woman’s arm.
Mo Qianxue suddenly looked up and right in her eyes, “Princess. Now on the street, an unknown person came and claimed that I was his wife, and you believe it and plan to check on me. What if tomorrow another liar showed up and claimed that he had seen my body and knew certain mole on me? Would you come and check again? … If this goes on, wouldn't I become the laughing stock in the capital? It’s already I become the laughing stock, but the shame will be brought on you too. For the sake of your reputation, I don’t dare to do so.”
Her words instantly made Princess Yuhe speechless.
Mo Qianxue sat in the carriage and watched the farce outside, not angry but smiling. What the hell? Was this the good show that the Empress and Princess Yuhe arranged?
