But there was no movement for a long while.
Su Mu opened his eyes and found that Xiao Er's hand was tightly grasped by a pair of white and wide palms.
When he turned around, he saw Mo Zeqing appearing in front of him, with a rare expression of dissatisfaction on his face.
The waiter immediately let go of his hand, and Su Mu was able to escape and immediately hid behind Mo Zeqing.
"Prince Xian, I came to buy dried fruits for my princess, but somehow my money was stolen. Can you lend me fifty taels of silver to help me pay for the dried fruits. I will ask my princess to return it to you after I return to the palace. "Su Mu timidly said to Mo Zeqing.
It was embarrassing to borrow money, not to mention that the other party was a prince, so Su Mu was inevitably a little scared.
After hearing this, Mo Zeqing suddenly let go of the waiter's wrist and raised his chin towards the guard beside him.
The guard immediately took out a one-hundred-tael silver note from his arms and threw it on the ground.
"There's no need to look for it. The remaining money will be used to collect a coffin for you!" the guard said, his hoarse and deep voice still pleasant to the ear.
The waiter then realized that what Su Mu said was true, and he immediately knelt down.
While kowtowing, he said: "The villain has eyes but cannot see Mount Tai. I hope the wise king will not blame him, but also Princess Chen. The villain deserves to die. He has eyes but no eyes..."
He babbled and knocked his head loudly. He raised his head again and saw Su Mu and the guard carrying dried fruits and leaving together with Mo Zeqing.
The customers who had just exited and made fun of Sumu also left in despair, and there was a rare silence in front of Momofukuzai.
…
"Thank you just now, Prince Xian. If it weren't for you, I would have suffered another loss." Su Mu looked at Mo Zeqing with a grateful face.
Mo Zeqing shook his head and said with a gentle expression: "As long as you're fine, these are what you should do, no need to say thank you."
The faint smile on his face was very tender, and the eyes looking at Su Mu were filled with affection, which made Su Mu blush.
"That prince, when I return to the palace, I will tell the princess that I will pay you back the money and thank you again." Su Mu said, bowed to Mo Zeqing, and then ran away carrying the dried fruits.
Looking at Su Mu's retreating back, Mo Ze's soft eyes gradually turned cold.
"If it weren't for my mother and concubine, I wouldn't bother to deal with such a bitch!" Mo Zeqing said with disgust.
The hoarse guard on the side said: "The prince is willing to bend and stretch in order to save the noble concubine. His filial piety is admired by his subordinates."
"Wu Qin, please tell Lin Ye not to wander around Yanling recently, so as not to be recognized and get into trouble. After all, this girl Su Mu is not stupid. If people recognize that he stole the money, the ugly guy will not be able to spare us. "Mo Zeqing said to Wu Qin.
Wu Qin cupped his fists and saluted, "I obey, I will tell Lin Ye when I get back."
He paused and then asked: "Then Prince, what should we do next?"
"What else can we do? Wait until that little girl pays back the money."
As Mo Zeqing spoke, his eyes were full of evil, and the corners of his slightly raised mouth smiled very evilly.
…
Su Mu was afraid of being stolen. After saying goodbye to Mo Zeqing, everyone looked like thieves along the way, so he finally returned to Longqing Palace.
After putting down the dried fruits, the person sat in the hall and began to be in a daze.
"Sister Su Mu is back?" Fei Yu was wiping the cabinet. When he saw Su Mu bringing back a lot of dried fruits, he couldn't help but stepped forward and laughed, "Sister Su Mu, you are so awesome. You bought so many delicious things. Our princess." Can you finish eating?"
Smelling the sour smell of dried fruits, Feiyu drooled from her mouth, but she talked for a long time but couldn't get any response from Su Mu.
This made Fei Yu feel strange, "Sister Su Mu, why do you look so ugly? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Lu Qingtang, who had just finished infusion in the inner room, heard the commotion and walked out quickly. When he saw Su Mu's face drooped, he looked very unhappy.
"What's wrong? Who bullied you?" Lu Qingtang stepped forward and asked in a low voice.
Su Mu turned around, her eyes suddenly turned red, "I'm sorry, Princess, I lost my money. I lost all my fifty taels."
As he spoke, tears fell down.
She knew that Lu Qingtang was not favored, and his income was almost zero except for the monthly payment.
She finally made some money by relying on her skills, but she lost it when she said she had lost it, so naturally she blamed herself very much.
"It's okay, Su Mu, it's okay as long as you're okay." Lu Qingtang smiled and reached out to hold her hand.
Then he saw the table full of dried fruit preserves and couldn't help but feel a little strange, "You lost your money, how did you buy these dried fruits?"
Seeing Lu Qingtang ask this, Su Mu told the story of how the money was stolen and how Mo Zeqing came to rescue her.
Lu Qingtang was holding a plum in his mouth, and his face became extremely ugly after listening to Su Mu's words.
It's Mo Zeqing again!
What on earth does he want to do?
He is everywhere, something is wrong, there must be something wrong with him!
As the saying goes, showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.
Maybe he asked someone to steal Su Mu's money.
"You mean, you are Mo Zeqing's gang again?" Lu Qingtang said, picking up a Chinese plum and stuffing it into Fei Yu's mouth.
Su Mu also had Hua Mei in his mouth. After listening to Lu Qingtang's question, he nodded immediately, "That's right. It's such a coincidence that I met Prince Xian again."
Lu Qingtang didn't answer. He reached out to open a pack of preserved apricots, picked up a piece of preserved apricots and put it into his mouth.
"Is there any problem?" Seeing that Lu Qingtang didn't answer, Su Mu couldn't help but feel anxious.
Lu Qingtang still said nothing. He picked up a plate of jade bean cake beside him and handed it to Fei Yu, "Fei Yu, take it out and share it."
Feiyu understood that he wanted to talk to Su Mu alone, so he immediately took the cake and left.
Now they were the only two masters and servants left. Lu Qingtang just said, "Su Mu, we may be targeted."
"What?" Su Mu was confused.
Lu Qingtang reached out and handed her a piece of apricot preserves, and said slowly: "Although I don't know Mo Zeqing's real purpose, it must be because we have a problem with him. He probably has laid a trap for us to fall into."
Su Mu's body trembled obviously, thinking that he had done something wrong, and immediately panicked, "What should I do? What conspiracy does he have?"
"It's precisely because I don't know what the conspiracy is that I feel a little uneasy." Lu Qingtang sighed slightly, "That's it, who cares, let's just take whatever comes."
I am also tired, and the waves are rising again and again.
But since the mother and son were unwilling to let them go, she wouldn't be polite.
However, Su Mu on the side refuted Lu Qingtang's words, "How can that work? You also said that if you know yourself and the enemy, you will be victorious in any battle. How can it work if you don't know their plan? How about this? I'll go find out what the wise king wants to do."
After hearing this, Lu Qingtang was shocked.
What's wrong with Sumu?
When did she become so courageous?
