The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

Chapter 117 There is no need to keep the unfaithful

"This prince only has that one in his heart, so naturally he has no interest in other women. If it weren't for the sake of protecting this little dignity of his, he wouldn't have drugged you. If Aunt Jin was as insightful as you, she wouldn't have gone to this extent."

He Rong kowtowed to Mo Yuchen again: "Your Highness's great kindness and virtue, He Rong will never forget it!"

"No need for that, but I need your help to do something. After it's done, I will give you a new identity and let you go far away."

"Your Highness, just say it, He Rong will definitely do it!"

"No hurry, I want to meet your sweetheart first to see what kind of person can make you so devoted and willing to risk your life to ask for my help."

……

On the second day, not long after the court session ended, Mo Yuchen drove his carriage to the Shangshu Mansion in a swaggering manner. After meeting Tu, he went to find Xia Yanxiang.

Xia Yanxiang was exhausted from the past two days. She had just gotten up and washed up when she heard that Mo Yuchen had arrived.

She was too lazy to get up and have breakfast, so she didn't bother to greet him.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Luo, may His Royal Highness live a thousand years." Everyone in the room except Xia Yanxiang bowed.

Some maids were worried for Xia Yanxiang when they saw that she didn't show courtesy, but Mo Yuchen nodded with a smile on his face: "Everyone get up! Anzhi and Tinglan stay, everyone else go out! Yizhu, bring the things in."

The maids went out one after another, and Yizhu put the food box on the table.

"I said I would make chicken soup for you a few days ago, but unfortunately there is no good chicken these days, so I made fish soup for you and prepared some side dishes, including duck and some soft and glutinous rice." Mo Yuchen brought out the dishes one by one and put the bowls and chopsticks in place for her. "I know you probably haven't eaten yet, so I made some in a hurry and brought them here."

Xia Yanxiang supported herself with one hand and watched him clean up by herself: "A gentleman should stay away from the kitchen. Your Highness Prince Luo can also do these?"

Knowing that she was making fun of him, Mo Yuchen didn't get annoyed. "You didn't have anything to eat all morning. Come eat!"

The dishes on the table were all the young lady's favorites. His Royal Highness Prince Luo really put in a lot of effort! Anzhi and Tinglan stood aside and laughed secretly.

"Yizhu, there is another box of cakes made in the mansion. Give it to these two girls!"

"Yes."

"There's still a share for us?" An Zhi couldn't help asking stupidly. Ting Lan quickly touched her and said, "Why don't you thank His Highness?"

"Thank you very much, Your Highness Prince Luo!"

Mo Yuchen sat down and nodded slightly.

Xia Yanxiang picked up the chopsticks and looked at the dish, her voice a little amused: "Your Highness Prince Luo, are you going to bribe even the girl next to me?"

Tinglan and Anzhi held back their laughter and stood aside without saying a word.

"How dare I? I just hope that the two girls can say a few good words for me in front of Princess Luo. How dare I have any bad intentions?" Mo Yuchen also supported his head with one hand, staring at Xia Yanxiang intently.

Xia Yanxiang took a piece of soft and sticky fish with chopsticks and was about to scoop up the fish soup, but Mo Yuchen snatched it away. She simply let him do it: "It's better. My two children are going to marry into good families in the future. Don't let you ruin their lives."

"I am a good family and can help. As long as Princess Luo allows, I can find as many young talents as I want for the two girls. I thought Princess Luo would worry about the girls around her competing for her favor!"

Xia Yanxiang took the fish soup and gently scooped a spoonful: "Why cherish something that can be snatched away? Since you are unfaithful, there is no need to keep it."

"..."

Tinglan and Anzhi were both horrified and looked at Mo Yuchen. They didn't want to be his concubines!

Mo Yuchen was choked, coughed twice, and waved his hand to let Yizhu take them away first.

"The prince is not afraid. She has maintained her chastity for so many years, and no one can take it away from her." Mo Jiuchen said with a grin after the servants had left.

Xia Yanxiang took a sip of the fish soup, her eyes showing satisfaction and contentment. Then she said to him, "Have you eaten yet? If not, ask someone to bring you a set of bowls and chopsticks?"

Mo Yuchen smiled even more, stood up and took out another set of bowls and chopsticks from the food box.

"I thought Yanyan wouldn't ask anymore!"

“……”How shameless!

Mo Yuchen didn't care. He sat down beside her and started to serve Xia Yanxiang. "There are so many dishes. How can you be worthy of the cooking skills of Prince Luo's Mansion if you don't eat more?"

Xia Yanxiang was helpless. How could she eat so much? "How is the third princess?"

"Madame Xin has been transferred away, Shen Zhe is also watching over Xiaoli and the child all day, and my mother has also sent people, so there is no need to worry."

Xia Yanxiang nodded and asked, "Is there any movement from Mo Yuyang?"

"I heard that the emperor was very angry when he granted us the marriage. The concubine must have been very angry too."

"That's right," Xia Yanxiang said as she ate, "After all, they still couldn't surpass me, and instead sent it to their mortal enemy. Aren't they furious? Last night, they sent someone to call for the Shangshu, and he didn't come back until four o'clock."

Mo Yuchen stared at her: "So you didn't go to bed until four o'clock last night?"

"..."How come the road changes so quickly?

"Seeing how furious they are, of course I have to see it with my own eyes. How can I not take revenge?" How could Xia Yanxiang not be happy seeing them suffer such a huge setback?

"You still went to see it?!"

"..." Can't we just talk about something serious? "I asked your secret guards to go. I'm unarmed and have no martial arts skills. Wouldn't I be captured alive if I go?"

Mo Yuchen didn't believe that if Xia Yanxiang wanted to do something, no one could stop her.

"If you don't believe me, just go ask yourself." Xia Yanxiang was too lazy to talk nonsense, "When are you going to Prince Wei's Mansion?"

"What are you doing there?" There is a wild beast there.

"Thank you for your help. Otherwise, where do you think Jin Luanjiao met that man? Jin Luanjiao had no intention of looking for him. Instead, she conspired with another secret guard of Mo Yuyang. Mo Yufeng forged a letter to that man and found an opportunity to put it in the palace banquet. This made Jin Luanjiao's plan fail completely and she fell into our trap smoothly."

"My brain is much more useful than yours. I understood it just by looking at the note." Xia Yanxiang glanced at Mo Yuchen teasingly and continued drinking her soup.

Mo Yuchen frowned: "When did he..."

At the banquet, Mo Yufeng didn't care about the farce performed by Jin Luanjiao at all. Instead, he was only focused on eating. When Xiaoli gave birth to a child, he just gave her an ordinary gift as a courtesy.

Mo Yuchen wanted to ask, but didn't. It was good for Yanyan to have her own ideas.

Xia Yanxiang glanced at Mo Yuchen and knew what he meant: "He asked your secret guard to deliver it, and he didn't even tell you a word?"

"Since I've given him to you, you are his master. You don't have to report everything to me. If you need someone, I'll send you a few more."

"No, I can't use it for the time being."

Not only are they useless, but having too many people will only cause trouble. The Shangshu Mansion already has Mo Yuyang's influence, and if Mo Yuchen's people come, I don't know how chaotic it will be!
