The woman smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, you are the God of War who protects our family and country. We don't want to involve you unless we have to."
Mo Ronyan looked at her with a calm expression: "Your Qin family is a prominent family in Xicheng. You have been persecuted to this point. Why don't you unite with other families to resist?"
This time, the old woman's sad voice answered him, "Your Highness didn't know something. Qian Xian controlled them with poison."
After the old woman finished speaking, Fu Beixian couldn't help but curse:
"Qian Xian, that beast! After His Majesty ascended the throne, he ordered that the use of poison against common people and merchants be prohibited!"
"How dare he!"
Gu Shuya sighed softly: "The mountains are high and the rivers are far away, and your Majesty is beyond your reach."
The woman wiped the tears from the end of her eyes, hesitated for a moment, and looked at the old woman, "Mother-in-law, can you please leave for a while? I have something to say to Your Highness alone."
The old woman nodded: "Everyone, please follow me out first."
After the people left the ruined temple, the woman whispered to Niu Niu: "Niu Niu, go and get the things that my mother asked you to hide before."
Niu Niu obediently turned around and ran behind the Buddha statue, lying on the ground, reaching under the Buddha statue with her little hands, and kept groping.
Not long after, she took out an envelope from under the Buddha statue, ran over and handed it to the woman.
The woman took it, stroking the envelope with her withered fingers, her eyes filled with water, "This is the list that my husband quietly brought back from the City Lord's Mansion."
With that said, she handed the envelope to Mo Ronyan.
Mo Ronyan slowly took it and did not open it. He just said lightly: "Qian Xian will take care of it and give you justice."
"Thank you, Your Highness." The woman and the old woman knelt down excitedly.
Niu Niu also knelt down and bowed to several people in a decent manner.
Return to Fulai Inn.
Mo Ronyan opened the envelope.
After seeing the list clearly, Mo Jinming's expression changed suddenly, "Third brother, these are all important officials in the court!"
Some of them have been found to be in collusion with the Shen family.
Mo Ronyan stared at the list, with a layer of frost between his brows and eyes.
"Shen Shi, give these lists to your father."
"Yes, Your Highness." Shen Shi took it respectfully.
Most of the officials on the list have been investigated by the Zilin Guards, but they just lack a legitimate reason for confiscating their homes.
Today, this list is just the reason.
"Third brother, you and your siblings have a good rest. I'll have a chat with Mr. Qian." Mo Jinming brushed his sleeves and stood up, his expression always gentle and friendly.
But everyone who knows him well knows that Qian Xian is going to be unlucky.
Mo Rongyan nodded slightly: "Even if we can't find the person behind him, we must at least control Xicheng."
"Don't worry." Mo Jinming patted his shoulder and looked at Tan Zhixi with a smile.
His tone was gentle from the bottom of his heart, and his smile was genuine, "Zhixi, I want to eat wontons from the street. Are you willing to accompany me?"
Tan Zhixi chuckled and nodded: "I happen to want to eat too."
"I want to go too!" Fu Beixian grabbed a piece of osmanthus cake and stuffed it into his mouth, mumbling.
Gu Shuya smiled softly: "Sister Tang, do you need to bring one for you?"
Su Ruotang stood up and said, "No, I'll go with you."
As soon as he finished speaking, his slender wrist was suddenly grasped by slightly cold hands.
What followed was the man's clear and calm voice.
"Sorry, Miss Gu."
"No trouble, no trouble." Gu Shuya grabbed the hem of her skirt and pulled Tan Zhixi out of the room in an instant.
As for Fu Beixian, he was absolutely clear-headed at critical moments.
When he sensed the danger in Mo Ronyan's expression, he moved his hands faster than his head and pulled Mo Jinming away.
He even closed the door thoughtfully.
"Brother, sister, third brother, you guys have a good rest. If you are hungry, eat some osmanthus cake first!"
The last note has not yet fallen, and the person has already left.
In the room, Su Ruotang and Mo Rongyan were the only ones left in the room.
Su Ruotang instinctively sensed danger and stood up to leave, "I'm going to see if His Highness's medicine is ready."
Before he even took a step, his soft waist was suddenly trapped.
The world was spinning, and before she could react, she was already sitting in Mo Ronyan's arms.
The man's hot breath sprayed against his ears, like strands of electricity flowing through his limbs.
"No rush, let's talk about other things first."
Alarm bells rang in Su Ruotang's heart: "What's going on?"
"Madam, my husband followed you off a cliff and was still searching for you at the bottom of the cliff, but you falsely accused my husband. Should I be punished?"
As the man finished the last syllable, a slight pain came from his earlobe.
Su Ruotang's body trembled, and her soft voice contained a hint of trembling, "You are a dog..."
He even bit her earlobe.
Mo Ronyan raised his hand, pinched her chin and corrected her, "My husband is a tiger."
After saying this, he stood up with Su Ruotang in his arms.
Su Ruotang subconsciously hugged his neck and held the man's shirt with her slender fingers.
When the man put her on the bed, the pearl buttons on his clothes were pulled off by her due to her unsteady center of gravity.
Su Ruotang held the shiny pearl tightly in her little hands.
Her usually soft and lazy tone changed slightly, "Mo... Mo Ronyan, it's daytime now."
In response to her, the belt around her waist was untied.
In an instant, the white dress slid down her smooth and tender skin, blooming in layers underneath her like gorgeous begonia flowers.
The light-colored bellyband embroidered with begonia hangs loosely on her body.
The peaks covered with snow can be vaguely seen.
A graceful and beautiful girl, with a shaky bellyband hanging on her waist, the color of snow blooming under her body, as beautiful as a delicate begonia in full bloom.
Fragility reveals coldness.
Under the dim light, Mo Ronyan admired the beauty of the third prince's concubine with a calm expression.
It's like admiring a stunningly beautiful picture of a beautiful lady.
next moment.
There was a slight chill under the collarbone, and when Su Ruotang saw clearly what Mo Rongyan was doing, his clear pupils suddenly dilated.
