So Princess Xu asked Mo Xinyu to accompany Lu Qingtang to talk, and she went to the kitchen to watch the cook cooking.
Seeing the opportunity, Lu Qingtang asked Mo Xinyu, "Xinyu, I know you are a good girl and an honest person."
When she looked at Mo Xinyu with firm eyes, there was an unprotestable sense of oppression.
There was something in her words that made Mo Xinyu feel a little uncomfortable, and was immediately shocked by the look in Lu Qingtang's eyes.
Lu Qingtang was kind to her, and besides, she wouldn't look at her like that easily.
So Mo Xinyu said, "Sister-in-law Fourth, if you have anything to say, just ask. I will definitely tell you what I know."
"Do you still remember when you were pushed down by Shui Lingxun, were you crying the first time, or did you get up immediately?" Lu Qingtang asked, never taking his eyes off Mo Xinyu for a moment.
Mo Xinyu was stunned for a moment, then immediately lowered his head, "The fourth sister-in-law asked why this was done. It has been so long that I have forgotten it."
This is false at first sight.
An incident that caused her to encounter the shadow of her childhood for many years, how can she forget it, it will definitely remain fresh in her memory.
Even if you forget the details, you will still find clues.
If I really forgot, it was intentional.
Lu Qingtang did not immediately expose her words, but picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Xinyu, if you think about it again, a child will definitely cry if he falls." Lu Qingtang put down the tea cup and began to seduce Mo Xinyu.
Mo Xinyu frowned slightly and nodded immediately: "Yes, the fourth sister-in-law is right. I was crying at the time and I forgot about it."
Lu Qingtang felt like a bucket of cold water was poured on her face at this moment, and she sighed inwardly with disappointment.
"If you cry, the maids in the house will definitely find you. Shui Lingxun said that it took a while after she left to hear you cry." Lu Qingtang revealed the truth ruthlessly.
Since she was given the opportunity, she didn't cherish it, and there was no need to save her face.
What's more, there were only two of them in the whole room, and Lu Qingtang thought it was interesting enough.
If this matter is not handled well, the harm it will cause to the couple cannot be solved with just "I'm sorry."
After hearing what Lu Qingtang said, Mo Xinyu immediately stood up from the chair across from him and retorted sharply: "Why don't you think Shui Lingxun is lying?"
"Why do you think she lied? There was such a big fuss back then. As long as I find other witnesses, I can prove the authenticity of it. Why are you so excited?" Lu Qingtang said without changing his expression, "You know why I want to I stayed for dinner just to ask you alone and save face for you. I hope you can cooperate with me."
Mo Xinyu didn't dare to look into Lu Qingtang's eyes. She sat down again and whispered: "Fourth sister-in-law, I... I don't dare let mother know. If she knows, she will... definitely scold me severely."
Her eyes were red and she looked aggrieved.
Lu Qingtang couldn't sympathize.
Just because she was afraid of being blamed by Princess Xu, the Prince Regent's family took the blame for ten years.
Fortunately, the regent and his wife were sensible and did not blame Shui Lingxun, otherwise Shui Lingxun would have suffered a lot of injustice.
"Then tell me the whole story, and I'll give you some advice." Lu Qingtang reached out and grabbed Mo Xinyu's hand, giving her some comfort.
Mo Xinyu sniffed, and then said: "It was Shui Lingxun who pushed me at that time, but I did not fall, but someone happened to see this scene. There happened to be a rockery where I was pushed, and I played there for a while , accidentally knocked on a rockery, and fainted at that time. After waking up, my mother had a quarrel with the regent princess, and it was the person who saw Shui Lingxun pushing me who filed the complaint. "
She said, lowering her head, "I was riding a tiger and it was hard to get off. Others asked if Shui Lingxun pushed me, so I nodded."
This is what happened.
Lu Qingtang guessed correctly.
It's hard to say that she was scheming, but it was indeed Shui Lingxun who pushed her.
But in the final analysis, it was a small matter. If the two families had sat down and talked calmly, and Princess Xu had asked patiently, it might have been resolved on the spot, and the situation would not have become so tense now.
She patted Mo Xinyu on the shoulder, "I won't tell your mother what happened. Your family also said that after you heal your face, this matter will never be mentioned again. But -"
Mo Xinyu quickly asked: "But what?"
"But you are indeed wrong in this matter, and you have to pay the price for what you did wrong." Lu Qingtang said solemnly, "In a few days, it will be the birthdays of your mother and the regent princess. When Shui Lingxun comes back, she will I apologize to you, you know what to do, right?"
Mo Xinyu nodded quickly, "I know Sister-in-law Four, thank you! Not only did you heal my face, but you also allowed me to express what I had been holding in my heart for many years. I feel much better now."
As she spoke, she hugged Lu Qingtang and cried softly. Her heart was not bad, but she was a little timid.
Just cry, it will feel better.
Lu Qingtang also understood that the matter between King Xu and the Regent's family could not be resolved, which would not be conducive to Mo Zeshen's foothold in the court.
Now it's better, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
After dinner at Prince Xu's Mansion, Lu Qingtang left with Su Mu and went home to prepare for the banquet at Wenxi Tower in a few days.
Lu Qingtang, Su Mu, and Aunt Zhou reviewed the menu and guest list over and over again.
On the Wenxi Tower side, Mo Zeshen personally came forward and sent out all the soldiers from Prince Chen's Palace specifically to protect the guests at the banquet and prevent some restless people from tampering with them.
On the day of the banquet, Lu Qingtang got up early, arranged the meals for the two babies for the day, asked the wet nurses to take good care of the babies, and then followed Mo Zeshen to Wenxi Tower.
Wenxi Tower was decorated with lights and colorful decorations everywhere. Except for Wenxi Tower's own waiter and chef, the rest were all from Prince Chen's palace.
Aunt Zhou and Lu Qingtang looked at the kitchen, while Mo Zeshen and the housekeeper were busy entertaining guests in the front yard.
Mo Xinyu wore a new suit, dressed up in a fancy way, and had a lively chat with Shui Lingxun.
Shui Lingxun, a girl who is naturally informal, feels deeply guilty about what happened when she was a child, and Mo Xinyu also opens her heart.
When the two mothers saw that their children had no lumps, they started laughing in unison.
In the end, it was all about the children, and there was no conflict between them.
The size of the banquet is not important. His Majesty's ultimate goal is to reconcile the two families and stabilize the government.
After a busy day, the birthday banquet for the two ladies was finally successfully completed. When they returned home in the evening, Lu Qingtang fell straight on the bed.
Mo Zeshen was also lying on the side, rubbing his face against the tip of her nose, looking at her and smiling.
He held her in his arms and whispered in her ear, making Lu Qingtang giggle.
Then, he pressed forward and kissed Lu Qingtang's lips.
