As dusk approached, Mo Jinming took the lost little beggar back to the side hall of Yangxin Hall.
She was holding a box in her arms, her expression dull, like a lifeless puppet.
Su Ruotang glanced at Mo Jinming's slightly pale face, poured a glass of water and handed it to him, "Second brother, drink some water first."
As she spoke, she handed a prescription to Mo Jinming's personal bodyguard, "Follow this prescription and take it three times a day for a month."
The guard in black thanked him and accepted it respectfully.
Mo Jinming slowly drank half a cup of warm water, looked at the little beggar standing blankly in the hall, and sighed softly, "Her mother's body had been eaten by jackals and vultures, so she found an arm and cremated it. Later he was buried.”
"What's in this small box is the only piece of jewelry left by her mother."
Su Ruotang looked at her dull eyes and frowned, her sweet voice seemed to have been soaked in ice, "After half a cup of tea, you are still like this, just go out and turn right, don't waste my herbs and time." .”
Mo Jinming frowned and said nothing, but looked at Su Ruotang, "Did your father, the emperor, and your mother come later?"
Su Ruotang nodded: "Come here for a while during dinner."
During dinner, Liu Wanyue originally planned to have dinner with her, but as soon as the food was served, she was coaxed and dragged away by Emperor Wu Shun.
Mo Jinming obviously knew about his father's possessiveness towards his mother and concubine, so he chuckled, "My mother and concubine and my father have always had a very good relationship."
Su Ruotang hummed in a low voice: "It's just that their status means that the father and the emperor are destined to be unable to give the mother and concubine a pair for the rest of their lives."
Mo Jinming put down the tea cup in his hand and sighed softly, "Every gain must have a loss. When you are in a high position, you must give up something."
"However, if you don't have the power of a high position, you may not even be able to protect your loved ones."
Power is a double-edged sword, with advantages and disadvantages.
But the pros always outweigh the cons.
Su Ruotang glanced at the little beggar and said noncommittally, "Indeed, being powerful can bring more benefits than being bullied without power."
In her previous life, she had been bullied and understood the importance of power.
If she were asked to choose between power and love, she would only choose power.
Wang Baochuan is a good example. A young lady who has a lot to offer does not do anything but marry a poor person. As a result, she ends up digging wild vegetables and living in a cold kiln.
Extremely stupid!
Mo Jinming looked at her deeply: "Sister-in-law, my fifth brother is indifferent by nature, but since he asked my father to marry you, he will definitely protect you."
"The Liu family has always had one wife for life. Since you marry your fifth brother, you will be his only wife for life."
When Su Ruotang heard this, her long eyelashes trembled a few times.
She bit her red lips, lowered her eyes and did not speak.
There is only one wife, but what about the concubine?
According to Dongqi law, a concubine is a concubine, not a wife.
Unless you are an imperial concubine, you can naturally become an equal wife.
Emperor Wu Shun had not established a prince for a long time, so he was just waiting.
Wait for Mo Rongyan's cold poison to be relieved.
When he becomes the emperor, even if he doesn't reconcile with her for the sake of reputation, he will marry Shang Ruyan as his equal wife and treat her as the emperor's noble concubine.
Mo Jinming's pale fingertips stroked the pattern on the cup.
After a moment of silence, he continued to speak well of his younger brother, "In all these years, I have never seen my third brother care so much about anyone."
Su Ruotang's green-white fingertips tightly grasped the bracelet hanging from her palm.
The edges of the fingertips were faintly greenish-white due to excessive exertion.
Mo Jinming sighed secretly in his heart and stopped talking.
Father, like son.
The third brother is indeed different from his younger siblings.
I just hope that they can understand their hearts as soon as possible and not do anything they regret.
In this quiet atmosphere, the little beggar who had been standing blankly suddenly stepped forward and knelt in front of the two of them, "I beg the Second Highness and the Third Princess to help me take revenge."
Su Ruotang retracted her thoughts, let go of the bracelet, looked down at her fingertips that turned red due to the instant blood recovery, and said with a calm expression, "Why should we help you?"
The little beggar kowtowed respectfully, opened the box, and took out a golden carved walking stick.
She held the step in her hands and shook it, and slowly said, "My mother is Hanshuang. She lives in a brothel and is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting."
"Especially her dancing, which is even more outstanding, attracted countless princes and nobles to spend huge sums of money on her just to see her dance."
"My mother is the money-spinner of the building, and I won't force her to accept guests."
"One time my mother went out to relax and accidentally got caught in the rain and caught a cold. It was getting late, so she temporarily stayed in a small village outside the city."
"Her beauty attracted the attention of the bullies in the village. The old couple who took her in were knocked unconscious by the bullies, and my mother fought hard to resist."
"Seeing that the murderous hand was about to be destroyed, Shen Ran suddenly appeared and saved my mother."
"But he already had a wife at home, so he hid his identity. My mother lost her heart like this."
"Shen Ran made up an identity and raised my mother in a house outside the city. When my mother was pregnant, her first wife came to find her, and then my mother knew the truth."
"Shen Ran's first wife wanted to kill my mother. Fortunately, the nuns in the building rescued her. My mother escaped and gave birth to me in the slums. In order to survive, she did not dare to go on stage again and took me to beg for a living... ..”
Su Ruotang held her chin with her slender wrist. After listening, she smacked her lips, opened her red lips slightly, and uttered two words, "Scumbag."
Mo Jinming: "..."
Although he knew that she was scolding Liu Hao, something felt wrong.
Su Ruotang looked at the little beggar with a serious face, "If your mother wasn't a lover, she wouldn't cheat."
"In the final analysis, it is caused by love brain."
Mo Jinming couldn't help but ask: "What is love brain?"
