Mo Qin took out his hand and declined with a smile:
"Thank you for the invitation, but I'd rather see those lovely flowers."
Combined with what happened last night, it is not difficult to see that Qili wants to push her towards the lord.
What kind of cool operation is this to bring together an imaginary love rival and an adoptive father?
Mo Qin said he couldn't understand.
Of course, if you didn't know what happened last night, you probably wouldn't think there was any problem.
After all, it seemed that Qili just wanted to sit next to Abner.
After wandering in the garden for a while, Mo Qin walked back along another road, but unexpectedly he met the lord.
The lord was smiling and enthusiastic, and after greetings he was full of compliments.
"You are truly the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. If I could meet you when I was young, I would definitely marry you and be my wife."
Mo Qin: "..."
The lord chuckled and explained nonchalantly, "I just want to praise you and have no other intention."
Mo Qin: Then do I still have to thank you?
Co-authored by You Want to Marry Home Is the most beautiful compliment to a girl?
Your face is really not that big.
-
"Have you heard? The lord is getting a new wife."
"Where did you hear this?"
"It is said that a certain maid in the castle said it. She also said that this matter will be revealed to everyone soon."
"Oh, yes, they are always well informed."
"What? Which family is she from?"
"It seems that she is not a noble lady, but a commoner woman."
"A commoner girl? Then she must be very powerful..."
"That's not the case at all! It is said that it was because of that woman's stunning beauty! The lord fell in love with her at first sight!"
The person who heard this frowned, "How beautiful can it be?"
"Rumors say that if you look at her, you will be unable to walk and your soul will follow her."
"Is it really so beautiful? I really want to see it with my own eyes."
I don’t know where this news came from. For a while, the streets and alleys in the city were discussing this matter.
Some people even said that they had seen the beautiful woman who made the lord fall in love at first sight.
Combined with many people saying that they saw a beautiful girl entering and exiting the castle a few days ago, many people soon believed this scandal.
On the sidewalk, Wenzel listened to these gossips and said to the girl next to him:
"I can't think of anyone else but you, a beautiful girl who can make people fall in love at first sight."
These rumors are probably aimed at girls.
But this is hard not to be misunderstood.
Mo Qin blinked with a hint of slyness in his eyes, "Then did you fall in love with me at first sight?"
Wenzel paused, his wandering eyes scanning the girl's smile, and his cheeks gradually turned red.
"I...I mean...these rumors are probably aimed at...you."
"Oh~ So that's it." Mo Qin smiled and nodded in agreement, "I think your guess is very reasonable."
Wenzel gave a low 'hmm', then lowered his head and continued to walk forward, his movements even a little stiff.
The bright glass windows beside the road clearly reflected the figures of the two people, and the people walking in front could also clearly see the faces of the people behind them.
Mo Qin looked at his back, the suspicion in his heart lessened a little.
The blush should not be fake...
As for those rumors, it's not hard to guess who started them.
A commoner woman clings to a lord and becomes a noble.
What a nice story.
But she has an even more wonderful one here.
-
In one night, the rumors outside changed.
A more exciting one has come out.
It was said that a maid saw the thinly dressed Miss Qili entering the lord's room in the middle of the night and did not come out until the next morning.
Some young people questioned, aren't the lord and Miss Qili father and daughter?
But everyone who is slightly older knows that Miss Qili is an adopted child.
The former lord's wife never gave birth to an heir for the lord.
Some people even speculated that Miss Qili was actually the little lover raised by the lord for him.
It sounds very exciting to develop something.
Compared to the gossip about a legendary beautiful girl that few people have seen, it is of course a person well known to everyone, which is more attractive.
What's more, a few older and wretched people have often speculated like this behind their backs. Now that the rumors have come out, they feel a sense of pride that 'it's true'.
Qili didn't know about this, after all, it wasn't like this when the servant came to report yesterday afternoon.
Early in the morning she found Abner in the garden, where he always appeared early every day.
"Good morning, Mr. Abner!"
Qili sat next to Abner and glanced at a certain window:
"Sir Abner, have you heard the rumors in the city recently?"
Of course Abner heard about it.
"Are you talking about the lord marrying a new wife?"
It's hard not to guess who the beautiful girl who has been in and out of the castle recently is.
"Well, that's right. Who do you think spread the word?" Qili sighed melancholy.
"I asked my father yesterday, and he said he didn't know. It was just that when he praised Miss Qin two days ago, he made an unintentional remark."
She quietly observed Abner's expression.
"As for the maid leaking, it's even more impossible. We have very strict management of servants in the castle, and they will never spread unfounded rumors."
The maid can't tell lies, so who said this?
At this time, a servant hurriedly ran over, but when he saw other people there, he visibly paused.
Qili didn't care that a servant came behind her.
She continued, just shy of telling Mo Qin's name.
"Similar things have happened before, but it was spread like that deliberately by a woman who wanted to marry her father."
Abner frowned slightly, "You mean Qin wants to marry your father?"
The position of a lord's wife was indeed very attractive.
There are many people who want to rely on their beauty to seek status and money.
The servant stood behind Qili and wanted to interrupt her, but he didn't dare.
Qili didn't notice this detail at all.
"Well... something like this has indeed happened before, and the other person was a girl about my age."
"Sir Abner, do you know what kind of person Qin is? Do you understand her?"
This undoubtedly shakes Abner's weak trust in Mo Qin.
"Miss Qili, rumors stop at the wise, do you want to be a part of spreading rumors?"
Mo Qin held up the hem of her skirt and walked towards the two of them, with a hint of sullenness on her face, but she remained calm.
"I don't think anything of your father."
"According to your statement, there are rumors outside that you went to the lord's room in the middle of the night and stayed all night. Is this also true?"
Qili jumped up from her seat, "What?!"
She is not a gentle person, on the contrary, she is a bit irritable. If she gets excited, she will be unable to maintain the illusion she puts on.
"Stop talking nonsense! How could there be such rumors!"
