Jiang Qingwan was about to take action after she finished speaking.
Suddenly, a series of noisy but orderly footsteps came from the alley entrance.
Mo Yunke led a group of elite soldiers over.
"If a man can be easily lured away by someone else with a flick of his finger, it only means that the woman beside him has no attraction for him. If a marriage can be easily ruined by someone else, then it is definitely not a good match."
Mo Yunhan nodded slightly.
"Elder sister, Wan'er is worried about the safety of the maid, please return her."
Mo Yunke glanced at him, then her gaze returned to Jiang Qingwan.
"The future regent's wife, doesn't she even have the courage to deal with trouble on her own? Does she need to hide in a man's arms all the time?"
Jiang Qingwan felt a surge of anger in her heart.
"You're going to stop us from getting married too? You deserve to die!"
"presumptuous!"
The soldiers shouted angrily in unison, their voices resounding like a rainbow.
Mo Yunke raised her hand, "This is a matter between women, and no one should interfere."
She glanced at Mo Yunhan as she spoke.
"Xiao Jiu, if you interfere, it means you don't trust your own princess and you're belittling her wisdom. No matter where you and she go in the future, you will be criticized. She... is not worthy!"
Mo Yunhan's attempt to defend him was choked back.
He meant to say he didn't care.
Moreover, he was quite certain that Jiang Qingwan didn't care.
But Jiang Qingwan coldly retorted, "Then what would be worthy?"
Mo Yunhan was startled.
He subconsciously looked down at her.
At this moment, Jiang Qingwan was stubbornly determined to argue until a result was reached, showing none of her previous calm and collected demeanor.
Mo Yunke walked to Du Luanfeng's side.
He gently patted her shoulder.
“You child, even if you have feelings for Xiao Jiu, you shouldn’t meet her in secret at night and ruin your reputation.”
Du Luanfeng immediately knelt on the ground.
“Please punish me, Your Highness. The Prince summoned Luanfeng, but she lost control and damaged the reputation of Your Highness’s residence.”
Mo Yunke raised an eyebrow.
"So it was the Regent who summoned you."
She looked at Jiang Qingwan with a half-smile, "It seems the Princess Consort has wronged my daughter. To keep her husband, you can't rely on methods like yours. Xiao Jiu's status is special; only someone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him can truly become his Princess Consort. Tomorrow, the Princess's residence is hosting a banquet; noble ladies from the capital will be attending. I wonder if the Princess Consort dares to attend?"
Jiang Qingwan snorted coldly.
"Alright, I will definitely attend the banquet and beat those who want to ruin my marriage to a pulp. Let's see who dares to stop me then!"
"Wan'er!" Mo Yunhan wanted to persuade her, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Mo Yunke.
"Little Jiu, do you think your elder sister will harm your princess? Do you want your elder sister to write you a guarantee?"
"No need! I don't need his protection."
Jiang Qingwan angrily turned and left, completely forgetting that she had come to ask for Lian'er back.
Qing Sui frowned.
"Your Highness, Lian'er is still in their hands."
Mo Yunke gave her a sharp look.
“Your princess isn’t worried, so why are you, a mere maid, in such a hurry? I will bring her to the banquet tomorrow.”
Mo Yunhan knew he couldn't persuade Jiang Qingwan at this moment, and that was fine, he also had something more important to do behind Jiang Qingwan's back.
Thinking of this, he didn't try to persuade her any further, cupped his hands in farewell, and left.
He quickly caught up with Jiang Qingwan and boarded the carriage behind her.
As the carriage slowly drove away, Mo Yunke's eyes grew cold.
"Luanfeng, what exactly happened? Why did you take action? I told you, this matter cannot be rushed!"
Du Luanfeng immediately explained,
“Princess, it’s not that Luanfeng wants to make a move. Brother Yunhan called me out and wanted me to help him get the Seven-Colored Phoenix Grass. I originally thought that Jiang Qingwan was injured when she fought Su Weichuan, and he wanted the Seven-Colored Phoenix Grass to heal her. But just now, Jiang Qingwan’s performance didn’t seem to indicate that she was injured.”
Du Luanfei echoed,
"Judging from her breathing and complexion, she certainly doesn't look injured."
Mo Yunke pondered for a moment, but did not agree.
"Don't forget, although she doesn't know martial arts, she was able to kill Su Weichuan using Xuanmen Taoist techniques. It wouldn't be difficult for her to conceal her injuries."
Du Luanfei frowned.
“But Princess, she is not a god. Even the most advanced magic can conceal injuries, but it is impossible for her to fully recover.”
"Therefore, she urgently needs the Seven-Colored Phoenix Grass."
Mo Yunke's words made the two of them suddenly realize the truth.
Du Luanfeng felt a pang of sorrow.
He couldn't help but mutter resentfully to himself.
"Yun Han, such a noble and upright war hero, actually did this for her... What makes her so special!"
Mo Yunke chuckled lightly.
"Of course she has the ability. Let's go back to the manor."
She led everyone back to the Princess's residence.
"Luanfei, how are the preparations for tomorrow's banquet going?"
Du Luanfei is obedient and blessed.
"Your Highness, everything is ready except for the final push."
Mo Yunke had complete confidence in her abilities.
She hummed in agreement and said, "Go and fetch my flying eagle."
Upon hearing this, Du Luanfeng exclaimed in surprise, "Your Highness, are you sending a message to the Free and Unfettered Sword Sect? Do you want to obtain the Phoenix Grass?"
Mo Yunke smiled.
His expression was obscure and unreadable.
"If Xiao Jiu wants it, as his elder sister, I naturally have to create opportunities for him to get it. Otherwise, wouldn't it make me seem... heartless!"
...
On the way back to the manor, Jiang Qingwan kept a cold face, ignoring Mo Yunhan.
Upon arriving at the Prince's residence, they immediately got out of the carriage and walked inside.
Li Dou, leaning on his crutches, waited anxiously in the courtyard.
He immediately went to greet her when she came in.
"Miss, Lian'er, she..."
Jiang Qingwan didn't stop walking and passed right in front of him, as if she hadn't heard what he said or seen the words "Lian'er".
