General's Mansion.

Mo Gaishi and Mo Xiao sat opposite each other in a solemn atmosphere, with both of them having grim expressions on their faces.

Mo Xiao rubbed her knees and said, "Father, I went to Prince Su's mansion today. The servants said Qingying was seriously ill, and Prince Su ordered that no one should disturb her."

Mo Gai Shi narrowed his eyes, and a hint of sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Even if he is seriously ill, there is no reason not to see him. There must be another hidden reason."

Was Mo Qingying caught having an affair? But wasn't Huang Shi already dead?

Seeing his silence, Mo Xiao's eyes became even colder, "Father, do you still want me to go? She is just a concubine's daughter, so she can die if she dies."

Mo Gaishi was immediately furious and shouted, "Does Xue Jinrong want to marry Prince Jin? Will you die? A man should have no trouble finding a wife. The honor and disgrace of the Mo family is your honor and disgrace!"

Mo Xiao gritted his teeth, veins popping out on his forehead, but he remained silent for a long time before speaking: "Father is already a general of the first rank, and has enormous wealth. The Mo family has only honor, how can there be humiliation?!"

"Where is the humiliation?!" Mo Gai Shi suddenly stood up, walked quickly in front of him, and looked down at him, "Father will tell you right now, where is the humiliation! Do you think I am a general today and will be the same tomorrow? The court is complicated, and every family tries to form an alliance with other families? But I asked you to propose to the prime minister's daughter, but you insisted on marrying a concubine's daughter of an imperial physician!"

Yes, it was precisely because Mo Xiao was unwilling to do as he wished that the father and son made an agreement that if Mo Xiao could achieve military merit, Mo Gai Shi would allow him to propose to Xue Jinrong.

That's how it was. Before Mo Xiao joined the war, Xue Jinrong became Chu Youyang's fiancée.

However, Mo Xiao was distracted during a battle with the Japanese pirates because of his restlessness, and he fell off his horse and was injured.

The military doctor and the imperial physician have examined him, and they both said that there is basically no chance of recovery and that he will have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

He hated it, he was unwilling to give in, he looked up and shouted angrily: "Isn't it enough? I've already done this, is it not enough for you? What else do you want me to do?!"

Pah! A loud slap landed on his face. Mo Gaishi opened his eyes wide and shouted loudly: "As long as you are still alive, you are a member of the Mo family and you must fight for the honor and disgrace of the Mo family!"

Mo Xiao's hands under his wide sleeves were tightly clenched into fists, his temples were throbbing, and half of his face was burning with pain. In this state, he wanted to die, but he couldn't. He could only become a sword or a knife in Mo Gai's hand, at his mercy.

Mo Gai Shi took a few deep breaths, then suppressed his anger and said, "You are in this state now, so I'm afraid it won't work for you to go through with the marriage. Arrange some people to keep an eye on Princess Gao Liu, and wait for an opportunity to cause trouble for her, and then let Mo Liao come forward."

Mo Xiao clenched his hands even tighter. Since he was a child, Mo Liao had always wanted to steal his limelight and was jealous of his status as the eldest son. If Mo Liao really got in touch with Princess Gao Liu, from now on, he would be just the eldest son in name only in the general's mansion.

"Yes!" He hesitated for a long time before agreeing, but his eyes were full of unwillingness.

"Take advantage of this period of time to secretly contact Prince Gao Liu, and don't let anyone find any clues!" Mo Gai Shi ordered again.

Mo Xiao raised his eyes, looked at him deeply, and then lowered his eyes, "Yes!"

He knew that his father's ambition was not to serve in the Wu Kingdom's court, and perhaps it was even more far-reaching than he had previously thought.

He agreed with this point. If Mo Gaishi could reach the top, he would be the next emperor. At that time, even Prince Jin would not be able to force his Jin Rong.

When he first met the girl, she was only twelve years old. Although she was not stunningly beautiful, she was lively and had a clean and free-spirited personality that was not found in the noble ladies in the capital. From that moment on, Mo Xiao could not take his eyes off her.

He had been waiting for the girl to grow up, but when he revealed his feelings to his father, he was told that he was the son of the great general Mo Gai Shi and must and could only marry the daughter of a noble.

After waiting for a long time, all is in vain.

For more than ten days, Mo Xiao was in the carriage. He wanted to see his little Jinrong, but the more he looked, the more heartbroken he felt.

"Young Master, Princess Yaruo is out!" Huang Zong reminded in a low voice.

Mo Xiao finally came back to his senses and looked towards the inn opposite.

Yaruo hasn't left the inn for more than ten days, so Mo Xiao has waited for her in vain. Fortunately, he got something today.

But for some reason, Yaruo's face was gloomy and she didn't seem happy at all.

"Follow me!" Mo Xiao ordered in a low voice.

Huang Zong hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Sir, do you want to inform the Second Young Master?"

Mo Xiao's eyes flashed with gloom, and then he waved his hand, "Let's see what happens first."

The carriages moved forward and backward. Mo Xiao watched from afar as Yaruo stopped at the door of Su Bei's store. Then he said, "Send someone in to inform the Second Young Master!"

A team of people who had been prepared long ago walked towards the North and South snack shops from all directions.

North-South dim sum shop.

As soon as Yaruo entered the store, she angrily said, "Where is that slave girl named Abei?! I heard that this is her property, let her come out to see this princess!"

Yu Chunhe was furious when she heard this, but she still had to put on a smile and said, "Our boss is not here today, just tell me if you have anything to say!"

"Not coming? Then let her come! This princess is waiting here!" Yaruo said, and sat down on the chair.

It would be fine if she just sat there. She even shouted to Chunhe, "Bring all the snacks in your store here so that I can have a taste!"

She was so arrogant, she was obviously an enemy, not a friend. Yu Chunhe just wanted to blame her for the snack.

But she had to look after the store for Su Bei and couldn't escalate the conflict, so she could only smile and bring over a few snacks, "Your Highness, please enjoy them slowly..."

Before she could finish her words, Yaruo had already picked up a piece of snack, took a bite, and spat it out without chewing it. Then she threw the rest of the snack and the plate out the door, and shouted, "What a crappy snack! It's obviously a scam! It's so disgusting! It tastes worse than shit!"

Yu Chunhe could no longer bear it and said with a sullen face: "Miss, if you are looking for trouble, I'm sorry that our store will not entertain you!"

Yaruo immediately got angry, stood up and pulled out a whip, shouting: "How dare you talk to me like that? I'll be sorry if I don't smash your store today!"

As she spoke, she raised the whip and swung it towards Yu Chunhe.

Yu Chunhe subconsciously hugged her belly, then shrank her head. Unexpectedly, the whip did not fall on her. Instead, a man's loud voice came: "Stop being wild!"

She turned her head and saw several men coming into the store. One of them was pulling Yaruo's whip, but she clearly didn't know these people!

Is he a chivalrous knight?

When Yu Chunhe looked at the man, she felt a little grateful.

At this moment, she saw Su Bei standing at the door. She was about to step forward to say hello, but Su Bei gave her a wink.

Yu Chunhe didn't say anything, just watched quietly.

Yaruo was grabbed by the whip, and she became even more angry. She shouted: "Who are you? Do you know who I am? This store is a black shop! I'm going to smash it!"

Zhang Ashan pulled her whip and smiled, "You can't destroy this store while I'm here! If you dare to act wild here, come and beat me up!"

Su Bei, who was standing at the door, was confused. She didn't know this person. Could it be that Chu Younan secretly sent him to guard the house?
