Mo Qin glanced at the uneasy servant and said in a serious tone:
"That's really what's being said out there. If you don't believe me, just ask someone who went out this morning."
Qili followed Mo Qin's gaze and saw the servant, and her anger grew even more.
Why didn't you tell her in advance about this news?
The servant stepped forward, trembling. "Yes, there are such rumors."
Moreover, the rumors spread more widely and were discussed more heatedly than the ones they released yesterday.
Some even said...that the Lord was going to marry Miss Qili.
Of course, the servants didn't dare to spread such rumors.
Qili glared at the servant who answered the question fiercely, as if he was a traitor.
She pointed the finger at Mo Qin:
"Did you do this?"
She had just spread rumors about Mo Qin the day before, and someone targeted her the next day. How could she not think too much?
Mo Qin frowned slightly, "Why would I do this? And Miss Qili, aren't you and the lord father and daughter?"
Qili couldn't find any words to refute.
Yes, how could she, an outsider, know something that some people in the city didn’t know.
Not to mention others, even Abner didn't know about this.
After learning that Qili was adopted, Mo Qin's tone of surprise was mixed with a hint of regret.
"So Miss Qili isn't the lord's biological daughter. Then the rumors out there must be..."
This hesitant tone made Qili explode.
"Shut up! You bitch, I'm going to tear your mouth apart!"
In an instant, air surged around Qili's body, and her fiery red hair exploded slightly.
She uttered a short spell, and a ball of fire suddenly ignited in the palm of her hand, which she was about to throw towards Mo Qin with great momentum.
The spell recited by Abner in a gentle voice was as clear as the ripples on the surface of a lake.
Click——
A transparent barrier with a light golden halo instantly unfolded in front of Mo Qin.
The flames were completely blocked out, not even a trace of heat could get through.
Mo Qin doesn't need any spells to use her magic, so she can dodge it even if Abner doesn't take action, but that won't make Qili angry.
Moreover, now that they were on someone else's territory, she had to avoid their attack no matter what, so she could only ask Abner for a small favor.
For both public and private reasons, Abner will not stand idly by.
He came to Mo Qin's side without knowing when, with a helpless tone in his voice:
"Ms. Qili, please calm down."
The confrontation between the two calmed Qili down a little.
She couldn't help herself and attacked Mo Qin in front of Abner.
Seeing Mo Qin hiding behind Abner with a frightened look on her face, Qili could only grit her teeth and stop.
My lungs are about to explode with anger, but I still can't vent it out.
She didn't bother to bother Mo Qin, but took two steps forward and explained:
"Mr. Abner, someone must have deliberately framed me for this. Please believe me."
Even if they are not biological children, such an immoral relationship between adoptive father and daughter is despicable.
Such a thing cannot be admitted no matter what.
The barrier faded away.
Abner sighed softly and said calmly, "
"They are just rumors, don't take them seriously. The most important thing right now is to stop them from spreading."
Qili felt warm in her heart, "As long as you believe in me."
After comforting Qili with a few words, Abner turned and looked at Mo Qin.
The girl seemed frightened by what had just happened. There seemed to be a hint of mist in her clear eyes, and her hands were clenched together nervously.
The incident just now tore apart her calm disguise.
No one would think that Mo Qin did this.
She is so fragile and needs protection. Besides, it is impossible for her to know such private matters.
Abner's heart moved slightly, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and his tone softened unconsciously.
"It's okay, I will protect you."
Mo Qin looked at him gratefully, then secretly glanced at the furious Qili and made an excuse to leave the garden.
As soon as I walked out of the garden, I met Wenzel.
He glanced over Mo Qin with worry.
"I thought I heard a quarrel. Did something happen?"
Mo Qin didn't know when he came. The tears she had just held back had not yet completely disappeared, and her pair of light blue eyes looked as if they had been washed with water.
"Nothing, I just had a few arguments with Qili."
Wenzel's tone was neither hurried nor slow, "Are you really okay?"
He asked himself questions and answered them himself.
"I was overthinking it. With Lord Abner here, nothing will happen."
From this spot, you can still see what Qili is saying to Abner.
Mo Qin didn't know whether he had just arrived or had been here for a long time.
When she returned to the room, the people in the garden below were gone.
I don’t know if Qili has coaxed the person into submission.
-
The rumors were naturally suppressed quickly.
Correspondingly, the previous rumors about the lord marrying a new wife were also dealt with.
They can't just leave it alone, what's the difference between that and self-exposure?
Although the rumors about the lord and Qili were groundless, the servants in the castle discovered that everyone had heard of it when they chatted privately.
As for where the rumor came from, no one knows.
After investigating for a long time, the source could not be found. The lord even suspected that it was the work of his political enemies.
Since no evidence could be found, the matter was left unresolved.
