Chapter 140 The Unlucky Prince Goes Crazy (10)
After the doctor's diagnosis, it was already a foregone conclusion that Mo Su was not going to be able to make it. He was not alone, he had a large family behind him. Mo Su had no choice but to tell his mother about it.
Mo Su's mother, Xuan Erhua, was the legitimate daughter of a salt merchant from the Western Regions. She had grown up in her father's backyard and had seen how unscrupulous women were in their quest for favor. When she learned that Mo Su was in poor health, she did not show any panic, but instead comforted Mo Su not to worry.
On the day of the wedding, Mo Su obeyed his mother's instructions and behaved normally as he completed the wedding with the princess.
After sending the bridesmaid into the bridal chamber, Mo Su toasted the guests one by one. When he was about to enter the bridal chamber, he became nervous again.
"Don't panic, put this in the princess's wine and let her go down," the mother's timely appearance saved the panicked Mo Su.
He didn't know what his mother had given him, but Mo Su was convinced that she would not harm him.
After entering the bridal chamber and lifting the red veil, Mo Su handed the wine with something in it to the bride.
Princess Xianyun was dressed in red and had exquisite makeup. Although the two had already been honest with each other, she couldn't help blushing when she saw the man she loved on such a special day.
The princess took the wine from Mo Su's hand, and the two of them clinked their cups together. She tilted her head back and drank the cup of wedding wine that was mixed with something.
After a glass of wine, Mo Su carefully observed her reaction, starting from when they first met, deliberately delaying time to allow the drug to take effect.
Not long after, Princess Xianyun's eyelids began to fight and she fell asleep.
Xuan Erhua had been staying outside the room. When she heard no more movement inside, she pushed the door open and walked in.
"Go sleep somewhere else. I'll send someone to call you tomorrow morning, and then come back." Before Mo Su could figure out what his mother meant, he saw his cousin walk in.
Now there is nothing he doesn't understand.
Seeing him standing there stupidly, without making any move, Xuan Erhua calmed down and said softly,
"You must know that if the king knew about this, you would be deceiving him. Do you think he would let our family go?"
Mo Su was speechless for a moment, unable to utter a word. Finally, he walked out of his room in silence, walked to the end of the corridor, turned around and went into the study.
This seemingly absurd thing, which could actually save their family from being beheaded, kept Mo Su busy in the study all night.
Before daybreak, the person sent by my mother knocked on the door of the study.
"Master, you should go back to your room."
"I understand." Mo Su could only follow the person sent by his mother back to the room.
Not long after her wedding, Princess Xianyun became pregnant.
After Xuan'er spent some time analyzing, or brainwashing, Mo Su has completely accepted the matter. The young couple's life has become sweeter than before because of the arrival of the child.
Mo Su's reputation as a playboy has been circulating in the Western Regions for a long time, but since he married Princess Xianyun, he has not been involved with any of the beautiful women outside. Of course, even if he wanted to, he doesn't have the ability, but these outsiders don't know the inside story.
Mo Su's devotion to Princess Xianyun made the King of the Western Regions more satisfied with him. He frequently assigned him tasks, and Mo Su's official position was promoted again and again.
Mo Su's smooth career in officialdom soon aroused the dissatisfaction of his uncle's family, especially his aunt Liu Eryu, a fierce woman.
"Why is it that Mo Su can be promoted continuously, while Han Mo can only be a sixth-rank official? Is there such a good deal in the world?"
"Please keep your voice down. There is only a wall between the second brother's house and ours. It would be bad if they heard us," said Mo Su's uncle Mo Yan, a seemingly honest man.
"If he heard it, he heard it. Do you think I'm afraid of him? If you dare to do it, don't be afraid of what people say. I will not only say it in the house, I will also say it standing in the yard. What can he do to me?" Liu Eryu was like a firecracker with the fuse of the fuse being lit. He pushed open the door and walked to the corridor. He put his hands on his waist and shouted towards the yard next door.
Mo Yan, who was sitting in the house, heard the noise in the yard getting louder and louder. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he cursed the man as an idiot in his heart.
He is obviously the eldest brother, but he has always been suppressed by his younger brother in officialdom. He has long been unable to tolerate this. This incident is an opportunity to bring him down. If he is brought down, he will become a relative of the king, and it will be easy for him to get promoted.
Hanmo, who was standing by, caught a glimpse of a flash of triumph on his father's face. He frowned, said nothing, and quietly walked out of the room, onto the corridor, and pulled his mother, who was still shouting at the top of her lungs, into the study.
In the yard separated by a wall, Xuan Erhua sat on a stone bench and heard clearly the scolding of Hanmo's mother. She had always looked down on Liu Eryu, although she was the daughter of a merchant and Liu Eryu was the daughter of a general, the difference in their status was not small.
But Xuan Erhua has been learning etiquette from a retired maid in the palace since she was a child. It is no exaggeration to say that she looks more like the daughter of a general than Liu Eryu.
Things have come to this point. Xuan Erhua knows that even if Liu Eryu can hold back for a while, he won't be able to do so forever. If the second house ever fails to meet his expectations, he will reveal the matter to the public, and then the whole army will be wiped out.
Xuan Erhua thought it over and decided to go to Liu Eryu in person to explain the matter clearly.
After dinner, Liu Eryu was still angry. He glared hatefully at Han Mo who was reading silently beside him.
What sins did she commit in her previous life? Not only did she marry an unmotivated husband, but her only son was also so unmotivated and allowed himself to be exploited by others.
"Hanmo, listen to your mother. Go and fight with Mo Su, okay? Just think of it as doing it for your mother, okay?" Liu Eryu said to Hanmo almost pleadingly.
Upon hearing this, Han Mo just flipped the page lightly, looking indifferent.
"Mother, do you know that if this matter is exposed, our whole family may be beheaded."
Liu Eryu agreed to let Han Mo do this because she was scared by beheading. Now he was using beheading to lecture her. The anger in her heart rose again.
"If you want to behead him, you're going to drag our first wife into this. You're going to let the second wife take all the promotions and wealth. Why? If that's the case, just behead me. I don't care."
Hanmo heard his mother's suddenly raised voice and sighed helplessly. He didn't want to argue with her anymore and concentrated on reading the book in his hand.
Xuan Erhua listened outside the study for a while, and when she heard no more sound inside, she gently pushed the door open and walked into the study.
"Sister-in-law, you are still angry with me," she smiled and walked in front of Liu Eryu.
"Why are you here?" Liu Eryu was angry, so his tone was naturally not very good.
"Aunt," Hanmo put down the book in his hand and bowed to Xuan Erhua, then gave her his seat.
Xuan Erhua sat down and said with a smile, "I heard that my sister-in-law was angry with me, so I came here in person to apologize to you."
