Fudong is very smart and sweet-spoken, and he exudes a sense of shrewdness.
Mo Qin was too lazy to scold these maids. As long as they didn't get in the way, it was fine. If they really did get in the way, she could just get rid of them openly.
In the plot, after the original owner disappeared and came back, he wrote a letter to Jun Chen without stopping. Now Mo Qin's reputation has not been damaged, and she did not write a letter to Jun Chen, but the other party wrote a letter first.
Fudong was carrying a food box and said with a smile:
"Miss, the servant said these are snacks sent by Miss Li."
Miss Li was one of the original owner's younger sisters, but this box of snacks was not sent by Miss Li, but was sent by Jun Chen.
Fudong opened the lunch box and found a note in addition to some snacks.
"Why, miss, there's a note here."
She naturally took out the note, opened it, and glanced at it.
Mo Qin took the note. Jun Chen did not leave his name, but she could recognize it from the handwriting.
He asked about her well-being, apologized for the offense he had caused his cousin, and said some ambiguous words about his longing for her. If you didn't know who was behind it, you would probably think it was just gossip between sisters.
Fu Dong stood aside and glanced at the letter. "Miss, do you want to reply?"
Mo Qin placed the letter on the table and asked, "Can you read?"
The glances he gave just now didn't seem like those of an illiterate person.
Fu Dong was slightly stunned, surprised by Mo Qin's sharpness, "I don't know many words."
Not much, that is literacy.
Mo Qin's expression was slightly cold. "When did I allow you to read my letters?"
Fudong gave a playful smile.
"Forgive me, young lady. I was just curious. I won't do that again next time!"
She was not afraid at all. Instead, she asked again, "Miss, do you want to reply? The delivery boy is still waiting outside to get the lunch box."
Mo Qin glanced at Fu Dong meaningfully and said, "No."
"Yes, Miss, I will go and return the lunch box."
Fu Dong didn't ask any more questions, but went outside with the lunch box.
Jun Chen did not receive a reply and did not continue to deliver the letter. He was a patient hunter.
-
Madam Mo sent someone to teach Mo Qin how to manage the rear house. She seldom went out, but she often asked Fu Dong to tell her some gossip about the outside world.
Fu Dong talked about the gossip outside and secretly guessed what kind of news Mo Qin preferred to hear.
Apart from being very thoughtful, there is nothing impeccable about Fudong's ability to do things.
Her outstanding business skills successfully made Lian Qiu calm down and no longer dare to be as arrogant as before.
Mo Qin stayed in the house, while Liang Yubing was living a carefree life outside.
That day, Fu Dong mentioned Liang Yubing's affairs. "Miss, the second Miss Liang has moved to the Zunyi Palace."
"Hearing that she knew some pharmacology, the Liang family eagerly sent her to the mansion."
Fudong stood aside, his voice no longer filled with the joy he usually had when gossiping, but with a hint of anger.
What is she angry about?
Mo Qin flipped through the account book on the table without interrupting Fu Dong.
"Everyone knows that Prince Zunyi has not yet married. Everyone knows what the Liang family's intentions were in sending someone there."
Prince Zunyi originally had a fiancée, but after he injured his leg, his fiancée died unexpectedly. Jun Chen used his physical disability as an excuse to not want to waste time on a girl from a good family, so he stopped seeing her, and the relationship has been delayed until now.
To be honest, the original owner's meeting Jun Chen was an accident.
Jun Chen is handsome, well-spoken, and much older than the original owner. He cares about the original owner and guides her from the perspective of an elder. The love-deprived original owner quickly falls for him.
Mo Qin recalled carefully and felt that Jun Chen might have done this on purpose.
Use the charm of a mature man to seduce a young girl who is in need of love.
Mo Qin glanced at Fu Dong:
"So what if I have thoughts? Why are you angry?"
It would be strange if he had no interest in it. Jun Chen is an unmarried older prince. Although his legs are broken, he is still a popular man.
Fu Dong's eyes widened, revealing dissatisfaction, "Miss, I'm worried about you! Isn't Prince Zunyi interested in you?"
Mo Qin finally found the reason, "How come I didn't know he had such feelings for me?"
"Miss! Please don't lie to me. I know everything." Fu Dong curled her lips.
"Although Miss Liang Er is not as pretty as you, she has entered the mansion and has been with the prince day and night. It is inevitable that she will develop feelings for him. Miss, you must find a way to win the prince's heart."
Fu Dong's eyes rolled, and he was obviously more anxious than Mo Qin.
"Why don't you write a letter to the prince?"
Mo Qin leaned his elbows on the small table and sneered.
"presumptuous!"
The smile on Fu Dong's face froze. She stood there without moving or begging for mercy, as if she didn't understand why Mo Qin was angry.
Mo Qin looked at Lian Qiu, who was standing a little further away, and ordered:
"Lian Qiu, open your mouth and give me twenty!"
When Lian Qiu heard this, his eyes lit up. He hurriedly walked up, held Fu Dong's shoulders, swung his arms and started fighting.
She had been unhappy with Fu Dong for a long time, and now she finally had the chance to vent her anger.
After twenty slaps, Fudong's pretty little face was swollen and her speech was unclear.
"Okay, you don't need to serve here. Go back and think about where you went wrong."
After Lian Qiu finished beating, he stood quietly aside, with a gleam in his lowered eyes.
It turns out that the general's wife wants to marry her daughter to the prince's palace. Doesn't that mean she will have the chance to become the prince's concubine?
The prince's backyard only has a few concubines sent by officials, no main wife or concubines... If I can please the prince, maybe I can escape slavery and be listed in the imperial book!
The day of the poetry reading soon arrived.
Fengqingxuan was crowded with young men and women, as well as children from poor families.
Mo Qin arrived early and chose a position with a good view.
"Miss Mo, you're here today too? I haven't seen you lately. Are you studying hard at home for the poetry club?"
Several young ladies from aristocratic families who had a bad relationship with the original owner came over.
"Hehehe~ Can you learn poetry and couplets by studying hard for a few days? Stop bullying Miss Mo. Can't you just let others come and watch the fun?"
"Even if you don't understand this poem, you can still meet a handsome man and prepare for your lifelong event."
Mo Qin was not annoyed at all. After they finished speaking, she slowly replied:
"Ladies, there's no need to speak your mind. With so many people listening... it's not really appropriate."
The people around couldn't help but laugh when they heard this. Several young ladies pointed at Mo Qin angrily:
"you!"
"Humph! Do you dare to compete with me?"
Mo Qin didn't want to bother with them. She didn't come here today to compare poems.
"I dare not. I am not good at writing poetry."
I have indeed read and memorized a lot of ancient poetry and prose, and I can write poetry if I really want to, but I am still not as good as the famous scholars.
Of course, it is completely possible to surpass these ones in front of you, but there is no need.
"Oh! Why come to a poetry reading if you can't write poetry? Isn't it..."
Mo Qin really didn't want to listen to her roar, so she tricked her into attending a poetry reading.
Liang Yubing will participate anyway.
