Mo Yunzhao lowered his head. "Where is he?"
Ancestral hall.
Mo Yunzhao had his maid follow him and recounted the events on the way to the ancestral hall.
Zhaotian Garden is Mo Yunzhao's courtyard. Fu Meng and the servants of Zhaotian Garden were all people her mother chose and left for her, people she could trust.
But over time, there will always be those who betray their master and turn against them.
However, Fu Meng was loyal to her. In her previous life, she was married off to Feng Bangguo, but in the end, she could not escape the clutches of Mo Bilian.
She remembered the voice of the little maid who came to ask for help.
For some unknown reason in her past life, she followed Fu Meng. During an assassination attempt, a little maid protected her. At that time, her eyes were still not healed, and she had never seen what the little maid looked like.
Ancestral Hall*
The ancestral hall was brightly lit, as bright as day.
Led by a young girl in a bright green dress covered in whip marks, the courtyard was filled with more than a dozen servants and maids from Zhaotian Garden.
Her body was covered in whip wounds, the blood staining her emerald green dress dark black.
Mo Jinghao sat in the grand chair at the head of the table, like a city lord, looking down at the girl.
"Fu Meng, you colluded with outsiders, instigated the city lord to cripple his spiritual power and propose marriage, and disregarded the safety of Moyang City. Your crimes are unforgivable. Now, as long as you reveal who instructed you, I will spare your life!"
Fu Meng was covered in bruises from being whipped and was on the verge of death. She slightly raised her head and glared at him fiercely.
"Pooh!"
She spat a mouthful of blood at Mo Jinghao's feet.
"You just want me to say that the person who ordered me was the eldest young lady, trying to sow discord between the city lord and the eldest young lady! The only person in the manor who is truly loyal to the city lord is the eldest young lady; you all harbor evil intentions! When the old city lord returns, he will definitely not let you off the hook."
"Bastard servant..."
Mo Jinghao raised his hand to stop him, "Patriarch Yu, step back."
"Considering you've followed Yun Zhao since you were a child, as long as you tell me who instigated it, I'll let your merits and demerits cancel each other out, and you can even stay in the City Lord's Mansion..."
"Pooh!"
Fu Meng spat another mouthful of blood at Mo Jinghao.
"Don't even think about it!"
Mo Jinghao turned his head away, still with a good-natured and generous expression, "Fu Meng, I'll give you one more chance..."
Fu Meng interrupted him firmly, "I would rather die than sow discord between the city lord and the young lady!"
The head of the Yu family stepped forward, "Second Master, why waste words? She betrayed her master; kill her, and that person will naturally..."
We have the final say.
Mo Jinghao stopped wasting words and ordered, "Kill!"
As he finished speaking, the guard raised his long sword, which gleamed coldly in the bright light.
A chorus of terrified cries filled the air.
Fu Meng didn't even frown, she just stared at them with wide eyes, as if she wanted to etch their images into her very soul, so that she would haunt them even as a ghost.
We would rather die than surrender!
The long sword fell, and a head was about to fall to the ground.
Bang.
The guard who had raised his longsword felt a numbness in his arm, and the sword trembled three times.
With a clang, the long sword fell to the ground.
"Who?" Mo Jinghao shouted, raising his eyes to scan his surroundings.
"The person who killed me right in front of me, and then asked me who I was?"
Hearing the crisp, soft sound, Mo Jinghao and the others looked up.
Mo Yunzhao appeared at the door and strode in, exuding the aura of a king returning home.
Ling Jingyu was by her side, accompanying her.
The two looked more like a divine couple descending to earth, making people look up, not daring to look directly at them, only daring to look up at them.
Mo Jinghao frowned. Mo Yunzhao had returned earlier than expected, and he was even accompanied by His Highness the Crown Prince.
Is this Crown Prince here to help him?
