Chapter 575: Lying Will Make Your Nose Grow Longer

Song Yanxi hadn't heard much about the former crown prince.

The year he had the accident, she was still young and was studying medicine with her master in the Valley of Divine Doctors.

To outsiders, he is just a crown prince who is described as a man of both civil and military talents.

Whenever I mention it, I have to sigh that God is jealous of talented people.

There is nothing else besides this.

But to Mo Jinchuan, that was a real person who lived by his side, a person of flesh and blood.

He is also a kind-hearted elder brother who is always respected by his brothers.

One is his loving brother, and the other is his younger brother who grew up with him. Needless to say, their feelings for each other are very deep.

But the person who personally sent them on their journey was their aunt, Princess Huayang.

But he was just one step too late and was unable to prevent the tragedy from happening.

Even though the ending is destined not to change because of his appearance, it is still a hurdle that he will never be able to overcome.

Not wanting to bring up the past and upset him, Song Yanxi changed the subject and said, "I forgot to ask you, Your Highness, how did you reject Madam Xu?"

Since she dared to come to Prince Jin's Mansion and make such a ridiculous and unreasonable request, she must have made plans in advance.

He might even use Xu Ruyue's suicide to force Mo Jinchuan to agree to take Li Jiqiu into his house.

Mrs. Xu is a respectable person. Since she has decided to do this, how could she be willing to leave without a satisfactory result?

Mo Jinchuan continued kneading the dough, and said calmly, "Madam Xu is a sensible person. Seeing that I had no intention, she left."

Is it that easy?

Why is Song Yanxi so unconvinced?

Thinking carefully about his words of being sensible, she suddenly understood something.

Everyone has weaknesses.

Mrs. Xu does not love her daughter Xu Ruyue.

But she has always loved her son deeply and had high hopes for him.

No matter how much she felt sorry for Li Jiqiu, she would not be so foolish as to ignore her son's future for the sake of her niece.

Even if she wanted to do so, Lord Xu would never agree.

Therefore, the only person who was abandoned was Xu Ruyue.

Even if what happened today didn't get out, her life in the Xu family would never be easy in the future.

Maybe after some time, news will come out that she has already been engaged and will be getting married soon.

Thinking about Xu Ruyue's pulse, Song Yanxi expressed her guess.

It's possible that she was mistreated at home over the years.

Mo Jinchuan turned around and glanced at her with a strange look in his eyes. "Did Miss Xu tell you this?"

Song Yanxi shook her head slightly. "When I helped her up today, I took her pulse. She was weak due to not eating enough for a long time."

Mo Jinchuan said, "After all, she is the legitimate daughter of the Minister's Mansion. Even if Madam Xu dislikes her daughter, she wouldn't be so foolish as to treat her harshly in terms of food and clothing."

He paused, then continued, "Even if it was for Xu's eldest son, she would never do such a foolish thing."

This is exactly what Song Yanxi found strange.

All families with some status in the capital care the most about their reputation. They treat even the children born to concubines equally, just to gain a reputation for being virtuous in the outside world.

Previously, when Aunt Qiu mentioned Madam Xu, she also lamented that she was too good-tempered and cared too much about the concubines under her. Several illegitimate sons and daughters also respected her very much.

Such a person, even if he resented the injury he suffered when giving birth to Xu Ruyue, would not even care about his face.

Unless there is something hidden.

Thinking of Madam Xu's look of disappointment when she mentioned Xu Ruyue today, Mo Jinchuan said in a deep voice, "What the Xu family mother and daughter said, true or false, you don't need to take it too seriously."

Song Yanxi responded and sighed, "Sometimes thinking too much is not a good thing."

Mo Jinchuan couldn't help but frown and said coldly: "This kind of person doesn't deserve sympathy."

Song Yanxi wanted to say that she was trapped by love, but on second thought, she felt that what he said made a lot of sense.

She had never offended her, but she deliberately said things in public that seemed to be defending her but were actually slandering her.

She blocked all the roads ahead and behind her step by step.

In the final analysis, it was all her own fault and she couldn't blame anyone else.

backyard.

Jiaojiao looked at An Yi who had once again kicked the shuttlecock onto the roof, and sighed, "Uncle An Yi, why don't we go find mother?"

If she continued kicking like this, she was afraid the roof would be full of holes.

If it rains heavily outside and drizzles inside, won’t I become the poor man in the notebook that Third Brother talked about?

She doesn't want her mother to live in such a shabby house!

Being pulled out by Jiaojiao, An Yi suddenly became anxious and winked at Zi Yan.

Zi Yan understood and walked forward, frowning and saying, "Uncle An Yi, should we take down the shuttlecock on the roof first?"

Thinking that the shuttlecock was made for her by Mo Jinchuan himself, Jiaojiao hurriedly shook An Yi's arm, signaling him to fly up and take the shuttlecock down.

She wanted to take it to her mother and let her see that her father's hand was not holding the big knife. What a coincidence!

Seeing that An Yi didn't move at all, the little girl became anxious and urged, "Uncle An Yi, hurry up!"

An Yi looked at the height of the roof and frowned, "It's a bit too high. We may need to bring a ladder."

"Ladder?" the brother and sister asked in unison.

Zixu stared at An Yi, his black eyes rolling around, suspecting that he might have done it on purpose.

What kind of ladder does someone with such good martial arts skills use?

Jiaojiao was also anxious. She loosened his sleeve and gestured, "Just fly! Whoosh! Fly up and get it down!"

Afraid that he didn't understand, she ran over and imitated what he had just done, jumping hard on the ground.

An Yi's mouth twitched, and he suppressed a smile and said, "Miss, I'm sorry, I can't fly at the moment."

"Ah?" The little girl looked confused.

Suddenly, she thought of something and asked in a baby voice, "Is Uncle An Yi hungry?"

As she spoke, she asked and answered herself: "Third brother's little green just can't fly. After eating, it flies very high!"

Zixu's eyes suddenly widened, and he asked through gritted teeth, "My great demon king, you let me go?"

The moment she said that, Jiaojiao realized something was wrong and ran behind Ziyan, shouting, "Big brother, help!"

Zi Yan reached out and caught the little girl, then asked helplessly, "Jiao Jiao, did you really do this?"

Jiaojiao's eyes flickered, and she said stubbornly, "No, there's no such thing as a big devil. Jiaojiao doesn't know him."

Zixu gritted his teeth and asked, "You don't know it, how do you know it flew away after eating?"

When he thought about how he had saved up money for several months and finally bought the little green dog, but it was lost like that, he was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.

But the instigator still refuses to admit it.

Even if she was telling the truth, could he still hit her?

Zi Yan could tell at once that Jiao Jiao was lying, and frowned as he asked, "Jiao Jiao, you really don't know?"

The little girl subconsciously wanted to nod, but then she heard Zixu shout, "If you lie, your nose will get longer."

Hearing this, Jiaojiao exclaimed, quickly covered her nose and said, "Jiaojiao's nose is not long!"

Zixu clenched his fists and angrily said, "You stinky girl, get off here!"
