Taiping Lie 353. Helpless Marriage

Dongfang Hui was furious and rushed to the inn where Mo Jingli was staying, but she didn't see Mo Jingli and Dongfang You. She couldn't help but look even uglier. She left the inn and went to Dongfang Mansion again. This time she didn't miss it. Unfortunately, the scene she saw when she entered the door made Dongfang Hui almost vomit blood.

In Dongfang You's room, as soon as she entered the room, she saw messy clothes thrown randomly on the floor. Dongfang Hui's face darkened, and she waved away the followers who followed her and walked in. As expected, she saw a man and a woman lying on the bed, with the woman's face flushed and her eyes slightly closed, obviously still asleep. There was also a strong musky smell floating in the room, which reminded Dongfang Hui again what had just happened here.

"Mo Jingli!" Dongfang Hui gritted her teeth.

As soon as Dongfang Hui came in, Mo Jingli opened his eyes. Seeing Dongfang Hui's expression, he was not afraid. He sat up and said calmly: "Madam Dongfang, can you please go out first?" Dongfang Hui's face was as cold as ice. She waved her sleeves and said angrily: "King Li had better give me a reasonable explanation!" While they were talking, Dongfang You gradually woke up. Seeing the angry look of the master, she was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that she was lying in Mo Jingli's arms, and she couldn't help but scream. Dongfang Hui said coldly: "Shut up! How dare you scream?! Pack up and come out immediately!" After that, she turned around and went out.

Dongfang You was completely stunned by this sudden unexpected situation. Her mind was so confused that she couldn't remember what happened after she failed to seduce Xu Qingchen with her secret technique, but she knew what happened to her just by looking at the situation in front of her.

"Mo Jingli, you are so brave, I will kill you!" Dongfang You shouted fiercely. She didn't care that they were still lying on the bed, and she slapped Mo Jingli on the head. Mo Jingli's martial arts might be slightly inferior to Dongfang You's, but Dongfang You's internal injuries had not healed, and she had just experienced such a love affair, so she was weak. Mo Jingli raised his hand and grabbed her wrist, holding her tightly in his arms.

"Mo Jingli! I'm going to kill you! I must kill you!" Dongfang You's eyes turned red with anger. She really couldn't understand why her well-planned plan turned out like this. Not only did she fail to seduce Xu Qingchen, but Mo Jingli also took advantage of her. She also knew that from now on, she had completely lost the chance to make Xu Qingchen accept her. How could Xu Qingchen, the number one son of the Xu family, a century-old scholarly family, marry a woman who was so ugly and promiscuous? As long as she thought of this, Dongfang You wanted to skin and eat Mo Jingli and cut her into pieces!

Mo Jingli held Dongfangyou's hands tightly and said unhappily, "Have you made enough noise?" He originally planned to treat Dongfangyou well. After all, Dongfangyou's status and ability were very good. More importantly, getting her meant getting the support of Cangmangshan. As long as Dongfangyou was obedient, he would naturally treat her well. But he didn't expect that this woman would shout and curse at him as soon as she woke up. Did this woman forget that she was already his woman? What's the use of making more noise?

"Are you making trouble now? You should have stopped sticking to me before." Mo Jingli sneered and said sarcastically.

The fragmented and intermittent scenes in her mind made Dongfangyou look extremely embarrassed. After hearing what Mo Jingli said, she was so angry that she trembled all over. Mo Jingli was right. She was the one who took the initiative to stick to Mo Jingli in the beginning. Even if it was not her true wish, she could not change the fact.

Seeing that she was no longer making a fuss, Mo Jingli let her go, got up from the bed, took the clothes placed aside and put them on calmly. He leaned over and looked at Dong Fangyou and said, "Now that things have come to this, as long as you are obedient, I will naturally treat you well. As for Master Qingchen, whom you have been thinking about... He knew that you were suffering from internal injuries and it was like you were drugged, but he threw you out without hesitation, didn't he? Could it be that you still miss him?"

"Pa!" Dongfang You slapped Mo Jingli hard on the face, "Asshole!"

Mo Jingli's eyes turned cold, but he quickly suppressed his rage. He stood up and looked at her and said, "Now that you're awake, get up quickly. Your master is waiting outside."

"I won't marry you!" Dongfang You stared at him hatefully and said through gritted teeth.

Mo Jingli didn't care. "Now, who else wants you besides me?"

Outside, in the lobby of Dongfang Mansion. Dongfang Hui had already dismissed the waiters and sat alone, listening and thinking with a frown on her face. Her face, which still looked calm, was full of sinister intent. The Xu family was really too cruel, and it really cut off Dongfang Hui's last hope for Dingwang Mansion and the Xu family. Although Xu Qingchen said it as if it was a complete accident, Dongfang Hui would not believe that things were really that simple. Dongfang You's magic failed, and her internal injuries backfired. Xu Qingchen asked someone to send her back but happened to run into Mo Jingli, and then Mo Jingli naturally became the person who healed Dongfang You's injuries. Everything seemed normal, but her sharpness and intuition from decades of managing Cangmang Mountain told her that this was definitely not a coincidence.

In fact, after Dongfang Hui rejected Ren Qining, there were not many choices left for Cangmang Mountain. Either everyone returned to Cangmang Mountain and lived in seclusion, or they could only choose Mo Jingli. But choosing by oneself and being forced to choose like now are two completely different feelings and results. This feeling of being calculated and coerced not only made Dongfang Hui hate her disciple for not knowing the limits and Mo Jingli for taking advantage of the opportunity. She even hated Xu Qingchen's ruthlessness and calculations against Dongfang You. Thinking more deeply, this was Ding Wangfu's disdain and contempt for Cangmang Mountain.

"Madam, Princess Ding and the second young master Xu's wife are here to visit." The servant outside the door hurried in to report. Dongfang Hui frowned. It was a coincidence that Ye Li chose this time to visit. After thinking for a while, Dongfang Hui asked, "Did Princess Ding tell you why?" The servant said, "Princess Ding said that she heard that Miss Dongfang was not healthy, so she came to visit with the second young master Xu's wife."

Dongfang Hui didn't want to kill Ye Li at this time, but the one who came with Ye Li was the second young lady of the Xu family, which made Dongfang Hui suspect that Ye Li had already known the truth. After a moment of silence, she sighed with some frustration and said, "It's over now, let's forget it...Princess Ding, please come in."

Soon, Ye Li and Qin Zheng walked in hand in hand. Seeing Dong Fang Hui's unhappy face, Ye Li pretended not to notice and said with a smile, "Ye Li is rude to come and visit. Madam Dong Fang, please forgive me." Dong Hui's eyes paused for a moment on Qin Zheng before she said, "You are too polite, Princess. It is a great honor for our humble mansion to have you and the Second Young Master's wife come to visit us."

Qin Zheng didn't know much, she just heard Madam Xu say a few words about Dongfang You's actions. And she had also heard about Dongfang You's entanglement with Xu Qingchen during this period, but she didn't expect Dongfang You to have the guts to break into Xu's house and plot against Xu Qingchen. Even though Qin Zheng usually came into contact with women with different personalities like Ye Li and Murong Ting, and had heard a lot of strange things, she was still scared by Dongfang You's actions. Not to mention that Xu Qingchen was her uncle, just the name of Young Master Qingchen, how many of the former Da Chu ladies didn't admire him in their hearts? Xu Qingchen is known as the Immortal Prince, so it is conceivable that the woman who can match him must not be an ordinary person. With Dong Fangyou being such a woman, not to mention Xu Qingchen himself and the Xu family disagreeing, I am afraid that the girls in Manli City will not be convinced either.

"Ms. Dongfang came to visit the Xu residence, but Qin Zheng was unable to receive her in person and even made her leave the residence due to illness. My mother-in-law has already reprimanded Qin Zheng severely. Our Xu family did not entertain her well, and we hope Madam Dongfang will forgive us. I don't know how Miss Dongfang is doing, and we hope Madam Dongfang will let Qin Zheng meet her so that she can apologize to her in person." Qin Zheng looked at Dongfang Hui and said softly and apologetically.

This was said politely, but it didn't sound so polite. Dongfang You, a girl, should be received by the youngest wife of the Xu family, the second young master, when she visited the Xu Mansion. But no one in the Xu family, from the doorman to the servants to the second young master's wife herself, had ever seen Dongfang You. How did this girl get to the Xu Mansion? What was she doing there? Since you are unwilling to go through the main gate and follow the etiquette of being a guest, then if Dongfang You has any problems, it's naturally none of the Xu family's business. Besides, Dongfang You's problem didn't happen in the Xu family, and the Xu family sent the second young master's wife to visit in person, which was already the utmost kindness.

Dongfang Hui's smile was a little cold. The second young master's wife was unknown and had little reputation, but she was unexpectedly sharp-tongued. "You'er is feeling a little unwell, but it's nothing serious. She's just resting, so I'm afraid she won't be able to meet the second young master's wife. Why not wait until she's better, and then invite the second young master's wife to have a small gathering together."

Qin Zheng smiled, not forcing herself. Ye Li beside her smiled faintly and said, "In that case, we shouldn't disturb Miss Dongfang from resting. However... when we were outside, we happened to meet Princess Qixia, who said that His Royal Highness Prince Li had come to your mansion and had not returned. Please ask Madam Dongfang to tell His Royal Highness Prince Li that Princess Qixia seemed to be looking for him urgently. If there is nothing else, you should go back quickly, otherwise I'm afraid Princess Qixia will find Dongfang Mansion soon."

"Princess Qixia?" Dongfang Hui's expression was slightly gloomy, and she said lightly: "Why can't I remember which country has this Princess Qixia?" Ye Li smiled apologetically and said: "It's me who forgot, it's Miss Qixia. This lady has been with Prince Li for many years and is deeply trusted by Prince Li. Since the message has been delivered, this concubine and Zheng'er will take their leave first. Madam Dongfang, please give Miss Dongfang our regards for us."

Ye Li stood up and prepared to say goodbye. Before Dongfang Hui could speak, she saw Mo Jingli standing at the door. Seeing Ye Li and Qin Zheng, Mo Jingli's eyes flashed, "Prince Ding and Madam Xu are also here?" Ye Li's calm eyes swept over Mo Jingli, and a faint smile appeared on her lips. She said, "I heard that Miss Dongfang was not feeling well, so I came to visit. It turns out that Prince Li is in Dongfang Mansion."

Mo Jingli was rarely uncomfortable. It was not fair for him to resort to such means for the power of Cangmang Mountain. Especially when the Dingwang Mansion did not care about it at all, he still valued it so much and even resorted to dirty means. People would naturally feel inferior. But no matter how arrogant Mo Jingli was, he still knew that he was not Mo Xiuyao. Mo Xiuyao could disdain the power of Cangmang Mountain and did not want the support of Cangmang Mountain, but he, Mo Jingli, could not. Although he was unwilling, he had to face this fact. But in this situation, when facing Ye Li, Mo Jingli still inevitably felt embarrassed. In this world, the thing he least wanted was probably to lose face in front of Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li, but unfortunately, things did not go as planned...

"Miss Dongfang is fine, she will come out to see you later." Mo Jingli said. No matter what, since things have come to this point, they naturally have to confirm this matter first. As long as this matter is confirmed, Mo Jingli is not worried that Dongfang Hui will regret not helping him. If Dongfang Hui regrets, then the title of Cangmang Mountain's Tianzezhu will become a shadow, and Cangmang Mountain and Dongfang Hui can't afford to lose this person.

"Oh?" Ye Li's eyes turned slightly, and she smiled calmly, "It seems that we have missed something? Or is there a happy event coming up in Cangmang Mountain?"

"Not bad." Mo Jingli said in a deep voice: "Princess Ding might as well have a drink with Prince Ding then."

Ye Li smiled secretly. Mo Jingli really valued Cangmang Mountain. He actually planned to hold the wedding directly in Licheng. "If the prince of Li plans to hold the wedding in Licheng, the prince and I will naturally be honored. Congratulations to the prince of Li." Mo Jingli looked at Ye Li deeply and said in a deep voice, "Thank you."

"Mo Jingli, forget it. I will never marry you!" Ye Li and Mo Jingli were talking in harmony, but Dongfang You's voice outside the door was no longer as calm and gentle as before, but rather sharp and harsh. Everyone turned around and saw Dongfang You standing at the door with red eyes, staring angrily at Mo Jingli who was talking to Ye Li.

Qin Zheng looked at Dongfang You in surprise. She always felt that Dongfang You was a fake person without soul when they met before. But now the angry woman in white looked more real. However, the purple traces on her low neckline made Qin Zheng blush. She lowered her head and was too embarrassed to look at her again.

"You'er!" Dongfang Hui scolded in a low voice in displeasure.

Dongfang You was startled, and looked at Dongfang Hui with grievance, saying, "Master, I...I...I don't want to marry this beast!" Mo Jingli's face changed, and he looked at Dongfang You with displeasure, saying, "Dongfang You, don't think that you are the only one who is wronged. Can you blame me for this incident? You made yourself into that state, and I am your savior after all." Dongfang You gritted her teeth and said, "I don't need you to save me, you bastard!"

Mo Jingli sneered, "You hope that others will save you, but unfortunately, they don't want to pay attention to you. Or maybe Miss Dongfang likes to pick up someone randomly on the street..." Dongfang You's face turned pale. Compared to having such a relationship with Mo Jingli, if she was really thrown on the street... No one knows the power of the backlash of internal injuries better than Dongfang You. If that were the case, she might really die on the street... "I..."

"That's enough." Dongfang Hui thought about her words and said coldly, "Isn't it embarrassing enough?"

Dongfang You was stunned for a moment, and finally couldn't help but fell to the table beside him and sobbed when he saw the cold expression on Dongfang Hui's face. Ye Li sat on the side and watched, and couldn't help sighing in her heart. Compared with the previous heir of Cangmang Mountain who looked so high and mighty and read out all kinds of advice to everyone, the woman in white who was crying so sadly was much cuter. It's a pity that this matter was entirely her own fault. Using such a charm to control Xu Qingchen, the Xu family naturally couldn't sacrifice themselves to save her, so Dongfang You's tragedy was doomed from the moment she had such an idea.

Dongfang Hui lowered her eyes, hiding the emotions in them before looking at Ye Li and saying, "Princess Ding, I still have some things to take care of here. I will not entertain the princess and Madam Xu Ershao."

Ye Li stood up and said with interest, "We are sorry for disturbing you. Madam Dongfang, please do as you please. I will take my leave."

After bidding farewell to Dongfang Hui and Mo Jingli, Ye Li and Qin Zheng heard Dongfang Hui's angry and angry voice as soon as they walked out of the door. Dongfang Hui has been in charge of Cangmang Mountain for more than 20 years. She is very scheming and has a calm personality. She was so angry that she couldn't wait for the guests to leave before scolding. It shows that Dongfang Hui was very angry.

After the Dongfang Tiger, Ye Li and Qin Zheng smiled at each other. Qin Zheng asked curiously, "Will Madam Dongfang really marry Miss Dongfang to King Li? I think both Madam Dongfang and Miss Dongfang seem a little unhappy." Ye Li smiled and said, "Miss Dongfang is really unhappy. As for Madam Dongfang...she just doesn't want Dongfang You to marry Mo Jingli under this circumstance." If Dongfang Hui is unwilling to withdraw to Cangmang Mountain and wait for the next sixty or seventy years, Mo Jingli can actually be regarded as her only choice. As long as it drags on like this, she will sooner or later agree to assist Mo Jingli. But that is the real choice of the Lord of Cangmang Mountain, and Cangmang Mountain is in a high position. And now, Mo Jingli and Dongfang You have such a relationship, and Dongfang You has to marry, but I am afraid that there is a little awkwardness and knot in the relationship between the two families. Moreover, in the minds of the literati of Da Chu, the status of Cangmang Mountain will plummet. Not to mention, with Dongfang You's temperament and temper, she will definitely not make any efforts to assist the future wise ruler's saintly concubine. And this is really the purpose of Ye Li and Ding Wangfu. How could Ding Wangfu give Mo Jingli such a big gift for no reason? Now, this big gift looks very good, but who knows when it will become a bomb that explodes at any time.

"This Dongfang girl is also asking for trouble. She is a good girl..." Qin Zheng sighed. Although Dongfang You looked very miserable, Qin Zheng would not give her the slightest sympathy. She wanted to manipulate people's hearts by relying on her special abilities, and even calculated others to marry her regardless of their wishes. Such a person can only be said to have it all to herself.

Ye Li smiled and said, "Even if it hadn't happened today, I'm afraid that Madam Dongfang would still marry her to Mo Jingli in a short time. Second sister-in-law, you don't have to feel sorry for her."

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "I won't feel sorry for her. As long as she doesn't harm our Xu family, it doesn't matter to me who she marries."

Ye Li nodded in agreement: "That's right."

Sure enough, a day later Dongfang Hui announced the marriage of Mo Jingli and Dongfang You, and Dongfang You would marry the King of Li as his principal wife. The news from Dongfang Mansion and the King of Li's Inn specifically emphasized that it was the principal wife, not the concubine. Although the concubine was not considered a concubine, she was still inferior to the legitimate wife. Although Mo Jingli promised not to abandon Ye Ying, Cangmangshan would not suffer such an injustice. So the two sides compromised and accepted that both of them were principal wives, of the same age. Mo Jingli is now the regent of Da Chu, and he naturally has more freedom to do whatever he wants with all the power in his hands. Then he issued an edict, naming Ye Ying as Rong Fei and Dongfang You as Min Fei, and both of them were the principal wives of the regent.

"Why do I feel that Mo Jingli's title is a mockery of them?" Ye Li asked after receiving the news that Mo Jingli was named the Queen of the Regent King. Ye Ying is now helpless, childless, and unloved in the Great Chu, so how can she deserve the word Rong. And Dongfang You calculated others but included himself in the calculation, so the word Min is more like a joke.

Mo Xiuyao said indifferently: "Maybe it's because Mo Jingli hopes Ye Yingrong will live a stable life of wealth and prosperity, and at the same time, he also hopes Dong Fangyou can grow up a little more. It's possible that a title is something that, if it's not a fact, then it's a hope."

Ye Li smiled and threw the letter onto the table. She said, "I was originally thinking about how to deal with the matter of Dongfangyou and Cangmang Mountain. I didn't expect it to be solved so easily." Mo Xiuyao said with a smile, "Master Qingchen is so talented and wise. His way of taking advantage of the situation is really admirable."

Xu Qingchen, who was writing with his head down, raised his head and said with a calm smile: "If the prince didn't want to watch the show, how could it have such an effect?"

If Mo Xiuyao hadn't suddenly had the idea to see if Master Qingchen could resist the temptation of the charm and didn't let the guards take action first, Dongfang You wouldn't have had the chance to use any charm on him, and naturally, the things that happened later wouldn't have happened. So, in the final analysis, Prince Ding was the real culprit.

Mo Xiuyao was not embarrassed at all for having his evil intentions exposed. He rubbed Ye Li's hair and smiled, "So we know that Master Qingchen's determination is rare in the world." Dongfang You had only tried a little in front of the public, and even many masters with deep internal strength were affected. But this time he only targeted Xu Qingchen alone, and tried his best but failed. This shows how strong Master Qingchen's willpower is. Or it can be said that it shows how cold-hearted and calm Master Qingchen is. Except for those who have a loved one and do not care about the beauty of the world, only those who are truly cold-hearted and treat beauty and bones equally can be indifferent to such temptation. It seems that it is still too early for those people in the Xu family to see Master Qingchen get married and start a family.

Xu Qingchen smiled faintly and said, "The prince has given me a reward...something is going to happen at the border." Xu Qingchen paused in his hand that was holding the memorial and said faintly.

Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows, and Xu Qingchen said, "Yelu Ye started to mobilize troops as soon as he left Feihong Pass. I'm afraid he wants to fight us again before winter comes." Although Mo Xiuyao was stunned for a moment, he was not surprised. "Where is Ren Qining?" Ye Li frowned and said, "Ren Qining resigned this morning and should have left Li City by now."

Mo Xiuyao lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, looked at Yeli with a smile and said: "Ali, we have to prepare for war again. This time... it will be the death of Yelu Ye and Helian Zhen!" A cold light flashed across his eyes.

Ye Li was startled, then smiled and said, "Okay, let's go together."
