"Yan'er, what's wrong with you..."
Shangguan Qi stared in shock as she watched Mo Shisheng walk down the stairs. The person she had sent was not in the room!
"Was my cousin surprised to see me?"
Mo Shisheng slowly lifted her feet and walked up to the maid who had rudely pushed open her door. "Lift your face."
"Sister, I..."
"Smack—"
A crisp slap rang out; Mo Shisheng had used tremendous force in that slap, and her wrist was still numb.
"You are Fang Ruo, my cousin's maid, right?" Mo Shisheng didn't know if she was right or wrong, but in any case, this person was Shangguan Qi's maid.
"yes……"
Fang Ruo raised her hand to cover the side of her face where Mo Shisheng had slapped her; her lip was bleeding, and blood trickled down her lips.
A hint of hatred flashed in her eyes, a hatred that was made no attempt to conceal, but Mo Shisheng simply looked away without a care.
"You think you can just push open my door like that? Isn't that like a mad dog on the street?" Mo Shisheng sneered as she slowly uttered these words.
Shangguan Leiting also arrived at this moment. He had just seen Mo Shisheng hit Fang Ruo, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, but he still managed to hide his emotions well.
"Yan'er, are you hurt anywhere?" Shangguan Leiting stepped forward, his gaze falling on Mo Shisheng.
No cherry blossoms
Mo Shisheng shook her head slightly. "Grandpa, what brings you here?"
“Qi’er was informed by someone that they saw you in the black market.” Shangguan Leiting’s eyes darkened slightly. “Yan’er, the black market is very chaotic. It’s not suitable for a girl like you to go there.”
"I didn't go."
Mo Shisheng didn't know what kind of scheme Shangguan Qi had up her sleeve this time, but in any case, Mo Shisheng wouldn't let Shangguan Qi have her way.
"Yan'er, the Fourth Prince will be staying at the black market soon, so you must not provoke him." Shangguan Qi frowned slightly, walked up to Mo Shisheng, and tried to take her arm affectionately, but Mo Shisheng turned slightly to the side and avoided Shangguan Qi's hand.
The action seemed unintentional, and a hint of surprise flashed in Shangguan Qi's eyes, but she felt that it must have been Mo Shisheng's doing without thinking.
Mo Shisheng lowered her eyes and glanced at Shangguan Qi out of the corner of her eye. She sneered inwardly, thinking that Shangguan Qi wasn't completely brainless.
She had already said she wouldn't go, but was Shangguan Qi trying to use the Fourth Prince to trick her? Did she still think she was the same Shangguan Yan who was devoted to the Fourth Prince?
Besides, when it comes to tactics, how could Shangguan Qi possibly be a match for Mo Shisheng?
"Did the Fourth Prince go to the black market? Why hasn't anyone spread this news? Cousin, how did you know? Could it be..." Mo Shisheng stopped abruptly, letting out a soft "Ah!" and then covering her lips with her hand. Turning to look at Shangguan Leiting, her tone was trembling with fear, "I...did I say something wrong?"
No cherry blossoms
Shangguan Leiting smiled kindly at Mo Shisheng, "Grandpa trusts you. Yan'er can ask Grandpa for anything she needs. There's no need to go to a place like the black market."
"Okay, Grandpa."
Mo Shisheng's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, their luster shimmering and captivating.
After speaking to Mo Shisheng, Shangguan Leiting's expression changed, and he looked at Shangguan Qi with extreme seriousness, "You can misunderstand your sister based on baseless rumors? Also, I didn't even know the Fourth Prince went to the black market, how did you find out?"
