Chapter 157: The Hongmen Banquet
"Really?" Qian Xinglong shook his head.
“The prince doesn’t like others rejecting his kindness.
If I refuse his kindness, I'm afraid he will get angry.
What's more, if you want to reject his kindness, shouldn't you refuse it in person?
After all, I am just a messenger."
Lin Mo shrugged, "So, I have to go there even if I don't want to?"
"That depends on you." Qian Xinglong didn't look at her anymore, but looked at the others:
"The girls who were abducted to Qingfeng Village a few days ago, please come out. The prince wants to see you."
When these words were spoken, Mrs. Qian and others panicked.
"Sir, they are just little girls who know nothing. Why does His Majesty want to see them?"
"Yes, sir, don't scare them. Little girls can't stand being scared!"
…
Qian Xinglong frowned and shook his head:
"Don't worry, the prince won't make things difficult for them. I invited them over this time because I have a few questions for them and I also want to reward them.
After all, there are very few girls as brave and resourceful as them, and they deserve to be rewarded."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they were still worried about letting them go.
We all come from big houses, so naturally we all understand the twists and turns inside.
Those who didn't want to cause trouble refused, saying that the award was not worthy of the award.
But those who wanted to flatter, such as Song Mingyu, couldn't wait to go over there.
Qian Xinglong shook his head, "The Luo Palace doesn't eat people.
You are worried that your children are too young and might offend Prince Luo, but don’t we have Madam Xu Shao?
Madam Xu is older and more sensible. When Madam Xu leaves, let them follow her."
Seeing that everyone's eyes were looking at him, Lin Mo raised his eyebrows:
"So, I have to go this time even if I don't want to."
If I don't go there myself, I'm afraid this Qian guy will come up with other tricks.
In order to force her to make this trip, they really did everything they could.
Sure enough, people with the surname Qian are not good people.
besides……
There was a hint of calculation in Lin Mo's eyes.
In fact, she also wanted to go shopping at Prince Luo's Mansion. Aren't there many good things there?
Coincidentally, she likes to collect good things.
Watching Lin Mo get on the carriage of Prince Luo's Mansion, Xu Wuyan's face turned terribly dark.
Damn it!
The old man, Prince Luo, didn't plan for me, but instead set his sights on his wife.
What's depressing is that he didn't think of this.
Murong on the side sneered:
“Does it feel like you’re shooting yourself in the foot?”
"Get lost!" Xu Wuyan said with a frown.
Murong looked at me with disdain, "Are you sure you want me to get out?"
A stinky man who destroys the bridge after crossing it.
I really want to take off his mask.
Xu Wuyan glared at him coldly and simply closed his eyes.
He was quickly thinking in his mind how to help Lin Mo escape.
But once you enter Prince Luo's Mansion, it won't be easy to escape.
Inside Prince Luo’s Mansion.
In the hall, Li Zhengyu was talking to Mr. Han.
"You said Xu Wuyan's woman directly killed your two sons?" Li Zhengyu had a look of doubt on his face.
If you say that Xu Wuyan killed him, he will believe it.
But women...
He doesn't believe it.
Mr. Han could see that he didn't believe it and shook his head:
"My Lord, please don't disbelieve it.
That woman is extremely strong and cruel. You don't know how many people have suffered at her hands.
So far, everyone who has confronted her has suffered losses, not her. "
At first, their family didn't believe that this woman could be so cruel, but in the end, the facts proved them wrong.
And it was a huge mistake, which is why his Han family is in such a mess.
His two sons, one grandson and one granddaughter were all killed.
Seeing the seriousness on Mr. Han's face, Li Zhengyu had to become serious.
Mr. Han looked at Li Zhengyu and shook his head:
"Your Highness, don't be unconvinced. Anyone who has dealt with that woman has suffered a terrible loss so far. The Han family, the Shen family, the Chen family! That woman is very evil."
Li Zhengyu didn't say anything at this time. He leaned on the stool with a thoughtful look on his face.
Old Man Han didn't say anything else, but picked up the teacup and slowly drank the tea.
Talking too much will make the other person suspect that you have ulterior motives.
But, he really had ulterior motives.
He wants to use King Luo to get rid of them!
A hint of coldness and calculation flashed across Old Man Han's eyes.
Li Zhengyu looked up:
"You said before that you suspected that Qingfeng Village was taken by that woman and the Xu family's guards?"
Mr. Han nodded.
"At that time, they were the only ones who had the motivation and time.
And they came back after daybreak. If it wasn’t them, who else could it be?
Don’t you think it’s all too coincidental?”
"It's a bit of a coincidence." Li Zhengyu nodded.
Then he looked up at Mr. Han and chuckled:
"It's rare for Mr. Han to come to Baoan City. Please stay here for a few days to rest and have some fun. Let the concubine spend more time with you and talk about the father-daughter relationship."
After Mr. Han left, a young man walked out from the side hall.
This person was none other than the eldest son of King Luo, Li Zhanli.
"Dad, do you believe what he says?"
"Half and half." Li Zhengyu raised his lips in a mocking tone.
"This old man wants to use us to get rid of the Xu family.
He is so cruel, those children of the Xu family are all his daughter's children."
Li Zhanli nodded, "I also think this old guy is unreliable.
Also, Qingfeng Village is so large, excluding those who were killed, there were more than a hundred people in the village that night. A few people simply couldn't swallow it all, let alone empty it, unless they secretly had helpers."
Speaking of this, Li Zhanli's eyes lit up:
"Dad, do you suspect that the power in the hands of Prince Anping has fallen into the hands of Xu Wuyan?"
If so, take it away...
Li Zhanli became eager to try.
"Well, whether it is or not, you will know if you try it!"
…
When Lin Mo and others arrived at Prince Luo's Mansion, it was already dark.
Looking at the exquisite Luo Wang Mansion, Qian Rou and others widened their eyes and sighed.
The beauty and luxury of Prince Luo's Palace are not inferior to those of other princely palaces in the capital.
Lin Mo lowered his head and did not look around like them.
Prince Luo called him here not only to test him, but also to test Xu Wuyan.
It seems that King Luo is not confident in them.
I don’t know whether it was his own doubt or someone else fanning the flames.
Lin Mo's lips curled up slightly, fearing that some people could not wait to take revenge.
Wanting revenge is a good thing!
Sometimes she wanted to wipe out certain people at once.
Qian Xinglong had been observing Lin Mo. When he saw that she arrived at Prince Luo's Mansion, there was no envy or shock on her face, but he couldn't help but feel a little curious.
You have to know that anyone who comes to Prince Luo’s Mansion for the first time, regardless of gender, will be shocked.
Because of its extravagance and luxury, it is unique not only in Baoan City, but even in the capital.
Just look at the reactions of these little girls.
"Mrs. Xu, you don't seem curious at all?"
"Why are you curious?" Lin Mo looked up with a strange look on his face:
"Just because I'm curious, can it become mine?
If you can't, why waste your expression? It's just for the eyes anyway."
Qian Xinglong was speechless.
At this moment, the maid came to invite them, saying that it was getting late and the prince asked them to have dinner first.
Only after the others followed the maid away did Qian Xinglong couldn't help but shake his head.
not simple.
After several confrontations, he didn't gain any advantage.
It's time for him to meet Prince Luo.
Looking at the table of delicious food in front of him, Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh at the luxury of the Luo Palace.
There are more than 30 dishes on this table, including hot and cold dishes of all sizes.
It's comparable to a state banquet.
So, this meal was really a Hongmen Banquet.
When Qian Rou and the others saw the food on the table, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva:
"There are so many delicious foods and so much meat. I really want to eat it."
"Yeah, I haven't eaten meat for a long time, I want to eat it too."
"Woo woo, here's my favorite pork elbow."
…
When delicious food is in front of you, it would be a waste not to eat it.
Lin Mo sat down and picked up the chopsticks directly.
When he was about to take action, he noticed that they were all staring at him and raised their eyebrows:
"You guys won't eat?
This is what King Luo invited us to eat, so feel free to eat it."
After hearing this, everyone sat down.
Only after Lin Mo picked up her chopsticks did they follow suit and start eating.
They all remembered what their family members said, that they should just follow Madam Xu's instructions in everything.
After the meal, only some leftovers were left on the table, and except for Lin Mo, everyone else was so full that they could not move.
"I'm too full." Qian Rou felt a little uncomfortable.
She looked at Lin Mo beside her, and seeing her relaxed expression, she suddenly blushed.
Did they eat too much?
She felt a little uncomfortable. "We, we don't usually eat so much."
"Being able to eat is a blessing." Lin Mo glanced at them:
"I'm just worried that you guys might not be able to handle eating so much at once."
People who have been hungry for a long time can easily get stomach upset if they eat too much greasy food at once.
That's why she said this meal was the Hongmen Banquet.
It's all food high in oil and salt.
Qian Rou's eyes widened and she stammered, "That shouldn't be the case."
Lin Mo shrugged and said nothing.
At this moment, someone suddenly held his stomach:
"Ouch, my stomach hurts so much, it's so uncomfortable, I can't bear it anymore, I want to go to the toilet."
"Oh, me too!"
"The toilet!"
…
Soon, Qian Rou and others left the hall.
Lin Mo didn't say anything, just raised her eyebrows, and then slowly drank her tea until Qian Xinglong appeared.
Lin Mo stood up and shook his head:
"Aren't you tired of making it so complicated?
"Does Prince Luo want to see me alone? Lead the way."
Qian Xinglong was stunned for a moment and chuckled. He was indeed a smart guy.
"Mrs. Xu, please!"
