Chapter 188 Rumors Spread

Then I heard a deep laugh coming from beside me, "Not yet."

Chen Shuyao glared at the other person angrily, but before she could say anything, the man's lips had already kissed her.

As these delicate kisses continued, Chen Shuyao couldn't help but think: He is still bad after all, and is no different from when they first met.

But she soon had no time to think about it, because along with the kiss came the ubiquitous caresses.

Her body gradually became out of control, and her lips began to make sounds that made her blush and her heart beat faster...

Xiao Mo lowered his head to look at the woman in front of him. Her cheeks were red, and a few strands of hair on her forehead were soaked with sweat...

Seeing him stop and look at her with a pair of watery eyes, he no longer looked as clear and calm as usual, but seemed a little confused, which made him love him even more.

Xiao Mo quickly strode towards the bed with the person in his arms...

When the love affair was over, both of them were out of breath.

By the time they finished bathing and lay down in bed, it was already very late.

The man beside her didn't seem to be sleepy yet. He put his arm around her and said, "Call me big brother again? Hmm?"

Chen Shuyao turned her head and faced away from him, but a low laugh came from behind her again.

Chen Shuyao didn't get Xiao Mo's guarantee that he wouldn't take a concubine, but instead he had a great time, which made her feel a little uncomfortable for a while.

And what happened to her?

It's so easy to be moved!

She had only copied from pornographic books, but knew nothing about the real affairs of men and women...

Xiao Mo waited for a while, but heard no reply. He leaned over to look, only to see that the woman in front of him had fallen asleep.

"Master!" An invisible voice came from outside the window.

Xiao Mo carefully put on his clothes and got out of bed. When he reached the courtyard of Yan Yutang, he asked, "What's the matter?"

"You guessed it right. Someone is spreading the news secretly." Wuying said.

"What news?" Xiao Mo tugged at his pajamas and sat down on a nearby stone pier.

"Regarding your friendship with Yun Ling, the leader of the Shenyue Sect, the gist is that you teamed up with her to murder the emperor, and when you saw that the situation was not right, you killed the Shenyue Sect leader in return, and ultimately won the credit for saving the emperor..." Wuying took a breath before finishing his words, but now he seemed to be angry too.

"Master! Do you want to stop it? Things are obviously not like that. These people are simply crazy." Then he couldn't help but say again.

Xiao Mo snorted and leaned casually on the stone table next to him. "Don't stop me. They have their own mouths and their merits and demerits will be judged by others."

He waved his hand to let the guards leave, then sat for a while with a frown before going back to the house.

Chen Shuyao was sleeping in a daze, and suddenly felt her body warm, and then she used her hands and feet to wrap herself around him.

This was a habit she had developed since childhood. Perhaps the memory of being kidnapped left too deep an impression in her subconscious, so she always hugged a pillow when she slept.

Xiao Mo laughed and thought of that night when the sweet-scented osmanthus was fragrant. The young lady had also used her hands and feet to cling to him in the same way, and then... then she pretended as if nothing had happened.

He raised an eyebrow, but smiled and hugged the person tighter.

When Chen Shuyao got up the next day, the people around her had left as usual.

She used to ask her maid to wake her up at a certain time, but it didn't work after she told her several times. She gradually got used to her maid getting up on her own while she slept until she woke up naturally.

Chen Shuyao and Xiao Mo's wedding seemed smooth and happy.

He was completely different from before. The arrogant, domineering and awkward man seemed to have temporarily put away his edges and sharpness after having her, and became a fairly considerate husband.

If Chen Shuyao had to say something bad, it would be that she was really tired.

But in the following days, some rumors began to spread in the capital.

Some people say that Prince Xiao of the Chengguo Mansion, as the leader of the imperial guards, did not fulfill his duties well, otherwise how could he have let the emperor fall into danger several times?

Even a year ago, Prince Chun was shot dead by the new emperor himself, so this Prince Xiao just took advantage of the opportunity by returning to the capital.

The leader of the Divine Moon Sect, who had assassinated the new emperor, was also brought out from Chunfeng Tower by Prince Xiao. It was said that the two of them had a close relationship...

When Shen Shuyao heard the news, her blood surged.

She said that Yun Ling's death was too simple. It turns out that there was a trick behind it. Was this to alienate the Xiao family and the emperor?

The key now is, what will the little emperor in the palace think?

If he is not affected by these remarks, then everything will be fine.

Otherwise, the Xiao family will be in big trouble.

Chen Shuyao thought of Xiao Mo's often frowned brows in recent days, and intuitively felt that the current situation was not optimistic.

Every emperor has learned since childhood to control people's hearts and minds and manage the overall situation.

Although Zhu Hongyuan was only fourteen years old, he had learned the art of being an emperor.

I am afraid that he has learned too much theory and too comprehensively, but lacks practical experience and vision, so he will inevitably be controlled by public opinion and do extreme things.

Chen Shuyao has not left the house these days, and the news was brought back by Qiao Wei from outside.

Even Qiao Wei, who had no access to any channels, knew about it, so it can be imagined that Xiao Mo should have heard about it a long time ago.

Seeing the maid's worried face, Chen Shuyao comforted her: "It's okay. The Xiao family has been loyal and brave for generations. It can't be easily erased by a few gossips from others."

She then went to Songhe Hall. When Old Madam Xiao saw her coming, she calmly instructed her granddaughter-in-law: "I have a pair of unfinished shoes here. Can you help me embroider some patterns?"

Chen Shuyao took it. The shoes were brown. She thought about it and said she wanted to embroider a deer.

I haven't done needlework for a long time, and my hands are a little stiff.

Although she has a good foundation in painting, embroidering patterns is another matter. Fortunately, Shen Shuyao is also good at needlework.

I spent the entire afternoon in Songhe Hall while embroidering and listening to the maids chatting.

So when Wang saw that she did not go to bother her today, she sent someone to check on her. Only when she saw that she was kept by the old lady did she feel relieved.

It wasn't until the evening, when it was almost time for dinner, that the old lady urged her, "Let's stop here for today! Mo'er should be back soon, and you should go back to Yan Yutang to get ready."

Chen Shuyao looked at the shoe that had just been embroidered on one side and said, "It's not finished yet. I'll take it back and embroider it!"

The old lady reached out and took the unembroidered shoe, placed it aside neatly, and said seriously: "You can't eat a fat man in one bite, don't worry about tomorrow's affairs today."

After saying that, she waved her hand and sent the person away.

Until Chen Shuyao left, she did not tell the old man about the rumors and her worries.

She herself seemed to have forgotten the original purpose of coming to Songhetang and only focused on the work at hand.

Chen Shuyao walked out of Songhe Hall and looked back, but couldn't help but smile.
