Her tone was calm, but every word she spoke was extremely serious, as if she had engraved these words in her heart and was determined to put them into action.
"Ruler, you can't defeat the Mo family."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Quchi met Qiu's gaze with her cool, snow-white eyes and said softly, "You want me to sit and wait for my death? If it were the old me, I might have tried to find a way to settle things peacefully, but not now. It's not that I don't want to let the Mo family go, but that the Mo family has never been willing to let us go."
Zheng Quchi went to ask Princess Sheng'an that day.
At that time, Yuan Chuhua said something that bothered her, but her brother interrupted her. Although she did not ask about it at the time, she secretly remembered it and wanted to find out what it was.
At first, Yuan Chuhua refused to speak, but Zheng Quchi made an offer in exchange for her revealing the truth.
It turned out that on the very day she went to find her older brother and younger sister, only to be falsely accused of being a bandit by the city guard, her older brother and his companions encountered members of the Mo family. If Princess Sheng'an hadn't arrived in time, he and his younger sister might have been taken away.
According to Princess Sheng'an, the youngest sister's illness was not like an ordinary ailment. She had encountered too many strange things in the palace, and in her experience, it seemed more like she had been poisoned with a slow-acting poison.
But she didn't know exactly what kind of poison it was.
The Mohists… a slow-acting poison… needless to say, Zheng Quchi had already guessed who would be so heartless as to poison a child who was only a few years old.
It turns out that not only was she threatened by the Mo family and forced to do things for them, but her family members had also never had an easy time. They kept it from each other, thinking of each other and afraid that the other would worry, but in the end, no one escaped.
Qiu Jian Zheng Quchi's face revealed a ruthlessness he had never seen before. She was like someone who had been forced to the edge of a cliff and had no choice but to pick up a sharp weapon to defend herself and the people she was protecting.
Qiu lowered her eyes: "This is Gan Xin's private seal. He is the Mad Blade of the Mo Family, with unparalleled swordsmanship. He is not very good at woodworking, but he is passionate about woodworking, so he joined the Mo Family. Whenever he goes to a new place, he often hangs out in various workshops to observe and learn from other people's works."
Zheng Quchi looked at Qiu in surprise.
He actually revealed everything about this Mo family member, inside and out.
She realized he wanted to help her.
Thanks.
As she got up to leave, she heard Qiu say, "Chizi, you...you should come and see me more often, and I'll tell you more about the Mohist school."
Zheng Quchi paused, then couldn't help but remind her, "Although I don't know your status in the Mo family, you must be someone important. If you get close to me, you will be betraying the Mo family."
Qiu's lips suddenly pressed into a stiff arc, and he remained silent for a moment.
Not long after Zheng Quchi left, someone brought over a set of bedding and medicine for his injuries. Naturally, they didn't care about Qiu and just casually threw the things next to him before leaving after completing their task.
Qiu stared blankly at these things for a long time, then moved his body. He used his mouth to hold the quilt and pulled the things over with difficulty. Then he smoothed them out little by little and lay down on them. The long-lost warmth immediately enveloped him.
"...The ruler, the Mo family is now tainted."
But don't worry too much, I will go back and give you a clean Mo family... I don't want to be your enemy anymore, I want to be like before, with me following behind you and you turning around and smiling at me.
