Mo Qin glanced at the uneasy servant and spoke in an extremely serious tone:
"This is really what is said outside. If you don't believe it, just find someone who went out this morning and ask."
Qili followed Mo Qin's line of sight and saw the servant, and she became even more angry.
With such news, why didn't you tell her in advance?
The servant stepped forward with a trembling body, "Yes, there are such rumors."
Moreover, the rumors spread more widely than the rumors they released yesterday, and the discussion was even more heated.
Some people even say...the one the lord wants to marry is Miss Qili.
Of course, the servants would not dare to tell such rumors.
Qili glared fiercely at the servant who answered, as if he was a traitor.
She pointed the finger at Mo Qin:
"Did you do it?"
She had just released rumors about Mo Qin the day before, and the next day there were rumors against her. How could she not think about it too much.
Mo Qin frowned slightly, "Why should I do this? And Miss Qili, aren't you and the lord father and daughter?"
Qili couldn't find anything to say in reply.
That's right, how could she, an outsider, know something that some people in the city didn't know.
Not to mention others, even Abner didn't know about this.
After learning that Qili was adopted, Mo Qin was surprised with a hint of pity in her tone.
"It turns out that Miss Qili is not the lord's biological daughter. Then what is being said outside..."
This hesitant tone made Qili explode immediately.
"Shut up! You bitch, wait until I tear your mouth apart!"
In an instant, air flow surged around Qili's body, and her fiery red hair exploded slightly.
She muttered a short spell, then a ball of flame ignited in her hand, and she was about to throw it at Mo Qin with great force.
The spell recited by Abner's gentle voice was as clear and shallow as the ripples on the lake.
Click——
A transparent barrier with a light golden halo instantly unfolded in front of Mo Qin.
The flames were completely blocked, and not even a trace of heat could penetrate.
Mo Qin doesn't need a spell to use magic. She can avoid it even if Abner doesn't take action, but this way Qili won't be angry.
Whether public or private, Abner will not stand idly by.
He didn't know when he came to Mo Qin's side, with a hint of helplessness in his tone:
"Miss Qili, please calm down."
The scene of the confrontation between the two made Qili calm down a little.
She couldn't hold back and attacked Mo Qin in front of Abner.
Seeing Mo Qin hiding behind Abner with a look of fear, Qili could only grit her teeth and stop.
My lungs are about to burst with anger, but I still can't let it out.
She didn't care about causing trouble for Mo Qin, but took two steps forward and explained:
"Sir Abner, someone must have deliberately framed me for this matter. Please believe me."
Even if they are not biological, it is despicable to have such an unethical relationship between adoptive father and daughter.
Nothing can be said about such a thing.
The barrier faded away.
Abner sighed softly and reassured without emotion:
"They are just some rumors and should not be taken seriously. The most important thing right now is to stop those rumors from spreading."
Qili's heart warmed, "As long as you believe in me."
After comforting Qili with a few words, Abner turned to look at Mo Qin.
The girl seemed to be frightened by what happened just now. There seemed to be a little mist in her clear eyes, and her hands were clenched together uneasily.
The incident just now tore through her calm disguise.
No one would think that Mo Qin did this.
She is so weak and needs protection, and it is impossible for her to know such private things.
Abner's heart moved slightly, a dark color flashed in his eyes, and his tone unconsciously softened.
"It's okay, I will protect you."
Mo Qin glanced at him gratefully, then secretly glanced at the furious Qili, making excuses to leave the garden.
As soon as he walked out of the garden, he met Wenzel.
His worried eyes glanced around Mo Qin.
"I seemed to hear the sound of an argument. Did something happen?"
Mo Qin didn't know when he came. The tears he had just held back had not completely disappeared, and his light blue eyes seemed to have been washed by water.
"It's okay, I just had an argument with Qili."
Wenzel's tone was unhurried, "Is everything really okay?"
He asked and answered himself.
"I am worrying too much. As long as Mr. Abner is here, nothing will happen."
From this place, you can still see Qili pestering Abner and saying something.
Mo Qin didn't know whether he had just arrived or if he had been watching here for a long time.
When she returned to the room, the people in the garden below were gone.
I don’t know if Qili has coaxed her well.
-
The rumors were naturally suppressed quickly.
Accordingly, the previous rumors about the lord marrying a new wife were also dealt with.
They can't just let it go, what's the difference between that and self-exposure?
If the rumors about the lord and Qili were unfounded, but when the servants in the castle chatted privately, they discovered that everyone had heard about it.
As for where the rumors came from, no one knows.
After searching for a long time, the source could not be found. The lord even wondered whether it was the work of those political opponents.
If no evidence can be found, the matter can only be left alone.
Qili's original plan was to use rumors to damage Mo Qin's image in front of Abner, and then interfere with it herself, deepening the misunderstanding between the two.
Of course, the lord couldn't really marry her, he was just using the status of the lord's wife to draw a big pie.
But all this came to an abrupt end with the scandal between Qili and the lord.
Before Qili could think of any other solution, Abner and his party were about to leave.
They have been delayed here long enough.
in the garden.
Qili tugged on Abner's sleeve, coquettishly.
"Sir Abner, can't you stay a few more days?"
Seeing that there was no one else around, Qili directly hugged Abner's arm and pressed against him.
"Haven't we not got the exact information about that thing yet? You might as well wait a few more days."
Abner glanced at Qili with indifferent eyes, and slowly took out his arm.
"I have to go back and report to the Pope, so it is inconvenient to stay any longer. When there is definite information, the lord will naturally order someone to send a message to me."
He would take a step back, putting some distance between them.
"Miss Qili must respect herself. As a clergyman, my body and mind must be dedicated to God wholeheartedly."
Believe in the gods with a pure heart and serve the gods with a pure body.
This is just a fig leaf for hypocrites.
After all, no one has ever seen a so-called god, right?
Even if it is impure, his divine skills will not be affected at all.
There are also many saints of the Guangming Temple who have private mistresses in the past dynasties, and the temple's dogma does not explicitly prohibit these.
Qili curled her lips and said, "Sir Abner, do you have a grudge against me because of the previous rumors?"
As a child of a noble, how could she not know the unspoken rules in the Temple of Light?
In this case, those stupid civilians will be deceived.
