Chapter 140 Gossipy Woman
Mo Linyuan paused, thinking that saying he had a long tongue was just an insult, but he turned to look at her helplessly and saw that she was cold and hostile, so he stopped talking.
“Princess Chu is simple and kind, and you saved her once. Perhaps she doesn’t think that way.” Women of this age seem easily attracted to the heroes in their hearts. And her hero is none other than Feng Qingge.
Now, Feng Qingge not only frowned, but her two beautiful brows furrowed tightly together, forming a small mountain. "Am I guilty of saving someone wrong?" Does saving her mean I have to take responsibility for her?
Mo Linyuan remained silent, merely raising an eyebrow at her before turning away without saying another word, lest she accuse him of gossiping.
Although Feng Qingge didn't pay attention to his words, she felt a little impatient. At this moment, she felt that perhaps Feng Cang and Mo Linyuan were right.
As the two were talking, the dancer in the center of the hall had already finished her dance and retreated, and many court officials had already started drinking with Fang Luobai's men.
At this time, men don't talk about politics or war; they just drink and enjoy themselves.
The young emperor, who was sitting on the throne, had already been led back by the eunuchs. This occasion was not suitable for him, even though he was already eleven years old.
With the Emperor gone, many people relaxed, and the hall became quite noisy, filled with the sounds of clinking glasses and conversation, making everyone's heads spin.
At this moment, Luo Bai picked up his wine cup and walked towards Mo Linyuan. However, his target was not Mo Linyuan, but the person behind him.
She stood before Mo Linyuan, then stopped, looked at him, and smiled warmly. "Regent."
Mo Linyuan nodded without getting up. Judging from his expression, it was clear who he was looking for. He nodded in response.
Sure enough, Luo Bai turned her gaze away and looked behind him. "Qingge?" she called out in a rising tone.
"Hmm?" The person who was engrossed in eating suddenly looked up when someone called her, her cheeks puffed out.
Seeing her eating like a squirrel, Luo Bai suddenly smiled, her bright and gentle smile seemingly illuminating the entire hall.
"Luo Bai?" Feng Qingge stretched her neck, swallowed the food in her mouth with difficulty, and then looked at him in confusion.
"I just wanted to thank you today. My leg is all healed now." Luo Bai smiled, and lifted his leg slightly so that Feng Qingge could see it clearly.
"Uh, there's no need to thank me. I already received the money." Feng Qingge knew his leg would recover, so she wasn't surprised. Besides, Mo Linyuan had already rewarded her, so there was no need for him to thank her, which made her feel a little at a loss.
Luo Bai shook her head, gently swirling the wine glass in her hand. "I just wanted to thank you. Even if you accepted the money, it doesn't diminish my gratitude, does it?" She tilted her head, smiling sweetly.
Mo Linyuan stood between them, watching the person in front of him laughing as if they were blooming flowers, and hearing the voice of the person behind him. As a result, his brows furrowed more and more tightly, and his face grew colder and colder. The area within ten feet around him seemed to be frozen solid.
The two people closest to him, however, were completely oblivious and continued talking. "No need to thank me, we're friends." Feng Qingge waved her hand, picked up a wine glass, and gestured to Luo Bai. The two smiled at each other and then raised their glasses to drink together.
Upon hearing the word "friend," Mo Linyuan's expression grew even colder, his dark eyes unfocused, gazing into the distance.
Suddenly, his fingers clenched tightly on the chair armrests until his fingertips turned white, and the chair could no longer bear his strength and protested.
