Chapter 425: Was I Deceived?
As for Mo Jingxuan, when he knew that his spoiled fifth sister had moved into the Prince's Mansion, he calmly waited for the Prince's Mansion to be turned upside down.
After all, he knew Fifth Sister's temper very well, and he had been talking a lot about Shangguan Nanxing's good points during this period, so he was very sure that his Fifth Sister would fall in love with Shangguan Nanxing at first sight.
As long as the fifth sister falls in love with Shangguan Nanxing, he will have succeeded in the first step.
"Fourth Prince, Princess Xi is here." Just as he was daydreaming, a servant came hurriedly to report.
"Why is she here? Did she say something?" When Mo Jingxuan heard that Princess Xi was coming, he was stunned at first, then his eyebrows slightly frowned, as if he felt that something bad had happened.
"Princess Xi didn't say anything, but judging from her expression, she seemed very angry."
When the servant heard Mo Jingxuan's question, he answered very carefully, then lowered his head and stopped talking.
"Let her in." When Mo Jingxuan heard the servant say this, his brows frowned even deeper, and he suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Fourth brother, the Crown Prince of Dongyou is not as good as you said. You are clearly deceiving me."
As soon as Princess Xi came in, she directly stated the purpose of her visit. After that, she walked to Mo Jingxuan's side and sat down very naturally.
"Fifth sister, what do you mean by this? Fourth brother doesn't understand, but what happened at the Prince's Mansion?"
When Mo Jingxuan heard Princess Xi's words, his doubts grew even more. He looked at Princess Xi and saw that she was looking at him angrily, obviously she was very angry.
"That prince is simply a beast in human form. On the surface, he is very good to the princess, but in fact, he even beats her."
When Princess Xi heard her fourth brother ask this, she told him what she had seen, but there was no sign of any regard for the prince in her words.
"What do you mean? Please tell me in detail."
When Mo Jingxuan heard Princess Xi say that Shangguan Nanxing beat Su Yue in private, he was shocked. Thinking of how loving Su Yue and Shangguan Nanxing were, he had never thought about it in this direction.
"What's the point? The Crown Princess' arms were all bruised and blue, it looked scary.
And there is the prince. He looks good, but he is full of evil intentions. As soon as we met, he wanted to drag me to ask the emperor for a marriage. I, Mo Jingxi, am not that casual a person. ”
Princess Xi pouted and told everything she had seen, her words full of dissatisfaction with the prince. It was obvious that the facts were in front of Mo Jingxuan. His fifth sister did not fall in love with Shangguan Nanxing at first sight as he expected.
"What? The Crown Princess is still covered with scars?" After Mo Jingxuan heard Princess Xi say that Su Yue was injured, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes, but it was covered by more shock.
Although he has not seen Su Yue many times, it seems that Su Yue is not the kind of person who allows others to bully him.
"That's right. When I saw the Crown Princess like that today, I felt so sorry for her."
Princess Xi did not notice the change in her fourth brother's mood and muttered again.
"Fifth sister, did you see it wrong? Or are they just putting on a show for you? I have met the Crown Princess several times, and she is not the kind of person who is willing to be beaten."
Mo Jingxuan stared at Princess Xi, and after hesitating for a long time, he expressed his guess.
"That shouldn't be the case. I think the scars are real. Maybe the Crown Princess loves the Crown Prince so much that it's not impossible that she is willing to follow him. After all, the appearance of love can be faked."
Princess Xi thought carefully about what she had just seen and heard, and subconsciously denied Mo Jingxuan's words.
How could someone really pretend to that extent? When she looked into the eyes of the Crown Princess just now, her red and aggrieved eyes made even she feel pity for her.
And there was the prince, who kept saying that he wanted to take her to ask for a marriage. She could feel his impatience even from far away.
"Well, Fifth Sister, go back and take a closer look. After all, I saw them together once, and they did look very affectionate at that time.
Although I have never met the prince, he is not as bad as you said. If you observe carefully, maybe they are really deceiving you. ”
After hearing what Princess Xi said, Mo Jingxuan subconsciously chose not to believe it. After all, seeing is believing, and they couldn't pretend to be affectionate in the palace at that time.
"What Fourth Brother said does make some sense. I'll go back and take another look. If the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are really pretending, then I, Mo Jingxi, will not let them go. Anyone who dares to lie to me won't live long."
Princess Xi saw that what Mo Jingxuan said made sense, so she nodded obediently.
After this talk, the feeling of frustration I had just had in the Prince's Mansion subsided a lot, and I felt a little better.
