Mo Qin pulled out her hand and declined with a smile:
"Thank you for the invitation, but I'd rather see those lovely flowers."
Considering what happened last night, it's not hard to see that Qili wants to push her to the lord's side.
Matching up a fictitious love rival and adoptive father, what kind of a move is this?
Mo Qin said she couldn't understand.
Of course, if you didn’t know what happened last night, you probably wouldn’t think there was anything wrong.
After all, it seemed that Qili just wanted to sit next to Abner.
After strolling in the garden for a while, Mo Qin walked back along another path, but unexpectedly met the lord.
The lord was smiling and very enthusiastic, and after the greetings he started to praise.
"You are truly the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. If I had met you when I was young, I would have married you."
Mo Qin: “…”
The lord chuckled and explained casually, "I just wanted to praise you, there's nothing else to it."
Mo Qin: Then should I thank you?
So wanting to marry her is the most beautiful compliment to a girl?
Your face is really big.
-
"Have you heard? The lord is getting a new wife."
"Where did you hear that?"
"It was said that a maid in the castle said it, and that it would be announced to everyone soon."
"Oh, yes, they are always so well-informed."
"What? Which lady is this?"
"She doesn't seem to be a noble lady, but a commoner."
"A commoner girl? That means she must be very powerful..."
"That's not the case at all! It's said that it was because of the woman's stunning beauty! The lord fell in love with her at first sight!"
The person who heard this frowned, "How beautiful can it be?"
"Rumor has it that if you look at her once, you'll be unable to walk and your soul will follow her."
"Is it really this beautiful? I really want to see it with my own eyes."
No one knew where this news came from, but for a while everyone in the streets and alleys of the city was discussing this matter.
Some even said that they had seen the beautiful woman who made the lord fall in love with her at first sight.
Combined with the fact that many people said they saw a beautiful girl entering and leaving the castle a few days ago, this rumor quickly became believed by many people.
On the sidewalk, Wenzel listened to the gossip and said to the girl next to him:
"I can't think of anyone other than you who is so beautiful that I can make people fall in love at first sight."
These rumors are most likely directed at girls.
But it's hard not to be misunderstood.
Mo Qin blinked with a hint of cunning in her eyes, "So, did you fall in love with me at first sight?"
Wenzel paused, his wandering gaze swept across the girl's smile, and his cheeks gradually flushed.
"I... I mean... these rumors are probably directed at... you."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Mo Qin smiled and nodded in agreement, "I think your guess makes sense."
Wenzel hummed softly, then lowered his head and continued walking forward, his movements even a little stiff.
The transparent glass window beside the road clearly reflected the figures of the two people, and the person walking in front could also see the face of the person behind him.
Mo Qin looked at his back, and her doubts were slightly reduced.
Blushing shouldn't be fake...
As for those rumors, it is not difficult to guess who came up with them.
A commoner woman attached herself to the lord and became a noble.
What a great story.
But she has an even better one here.
-
In just one night, the rumors outside changed.
An even more exciting one has come out.
It is said that a maid saw Miss Qili, who was dressed in thin clothes, enter the lord's room in the middle of the night and did not come out until the next morning.
Some young people questioned, aren’t the lord and Miss Qili father and daughter?
But those who are a little older know that Miss Qili is an adopted child.
The previous lord's wife never gave birth to an heir for the lord.
Some even speculated that Miss Qili was actually the lord's mistress.
Cultivation or something like that sounds exciting.
Compared to a legendary beautiful girl who few people have seen, gossip about someone everyone knows is of course more attractive.
What's more, a few older and more vulgar people have speculated about this behind the scenes many times. Now that the rumor has come out, they feel a sense of pride that "it is just as expected."
Qili didn't know about this. After all, it wasn't like this when the servant came to report yesterday afternoon.
She found Abner in the garden early in the morning, where he always appeared early every day.
"Good morning, Mr. Abner!"
Qili sat down next to Abner and glanced toward a window:
"Mr. Abner, have you heard the rumors going around the city lately?"
Abner had heard of it, of course.
"Are you talking about the lord marrying a new wife?"
It's hard to guess who the beautiful girl who has been entering and leaving the castle recently is.
"Yes, that's right. Who do you think spread this news?" Qili sighed with some melancholy.
"I asked my father yesterday, and he said he didn't know. He just said something unintentional when he was praising Miss Qin a few days ago."
She quietly observed Abner's expression.
"As for the maid leaking the story, that's even more impossible. The servants in our castle are very strictly managed. They would never spread unfounded rumors."
The maid wouldn't lie, so who told this?
