Many people in the capital saw the RV emerge from the Regent's Palace, followed by two more carriages. The carriages were filled with boxes of various sizes, clearly containing very generous gifts.
At first, it didn't cause much of a stir, but some gullible people followed the carriage and realized that they were all going to a village on the outskirts of the capital.
The news reached every household in the capital and every concubine in the palace.
The news of Mo Beichen's trip to Qingshan City had been kept secret, so no one knew where the Regent had gone after the palace banquet, and he didn't even appear on the Lantern Festival.
Everyone was speculating wildly. But no one could have guessed that the Regent would return to the capital in a very large vehicle.
Some of the households had previously sent people to buy things in Qingshan City. Knowing that the Regent had returned in a novel vehicle, they guessed that he had gone to Qingshan City.
Mo Beichen is the current regent, powerful, of high status, and exceptionally handsome, yet he is not interested in women. Many young ladies and noblewomen in the capital have long harbored designs on Mo Beichen; how wonderful it would be to become the regent's wife!
As time went on, everyone realized that Mo Beichen had absolutely no interest in them. Therefore, they gradually gave up the idea. However, although they abandoned the idea, many people continued to keep an eye on Mo Beichen, curious about who he would marry in the future.
The next morning, Wang Simeng planned to buy a piece of land at the government office. So she got up early, picked out a light purple dress from the wardrobe in her spatial villa, changed into it, and after dressing up, she went to the government office to buy the land.
Shuang'er and Cui'er wanted to go along, but Wang Simeng refused. As a modern person, Wang Simeng was still not used to having people following her around when she did anything, especially since it wasn't anything important.
However, just as Wang Simeng was about to leave, Mo Beichen arrived again.
"Mo Beichen!" Wang Simeng exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Mo Beichen's arrival.
"Si Meng," Mo Beichen said with a smile, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to the government office today. I plan to buy a piece of land near the capital," Wang Simeng said with a smile.
“Then I’ll go with you.” Mo Beichen said with a charming smile.
Wang Simeng thought to herself, "Mo Beichen is definitely flirting with someone again."
"Stop laughing all the time. Do you know how dangerous it is to laugh like that? Be careful other girls don't snatch you away and make you their bandit husband," Wang Simeng teased Mo Beichen.
"Ha ha."
Mo Beichen raised an eyebrow slightly, bent down, and looked Wang Simeng in the eye. His eyes held a smile as he gazed at her, "Simeng, don't worry, in this lifetime, no other woman will ever have a chance."
"A man's words are like a devil's lies," Wang Simeng said with a smile, shaking her head in a teasing tone.
Upon hearing this, Mo Beichen said, "One day you will know how I feel about you."
Wang Simeng's heart raced when she saw the deep emotions in Mo Beichen's eyes.
"Alright, since you're coming with me, let's hurry up and go, or all the land will be sold out." Wang Simeng quickly changed the subject.
Mo Beichen smiled slightly and nodded.
"Si Meng, get in my carriage!" Mo Beichen extended his hand.
Wang Simeng looked at Mo Beichen's carriage, and it was clear from the outside that it was luxurious.
“Alright! Your carriage is quite nice, I’ll do as you say.” So, Wang Simeng got into Mo Beichen’s carriage with a smile.
Mo Beichen's carriage was also luxuriously decorated, with a table set with several plates of pastries and a soft couch next to it, covered with plush cushions that were very comfortable to sit on. The carriage also had a faint, pleasant sandalwood scent. Wang Simeng sat on the couch, while Mo Beichen sat beside her, very close to her, and the two remained silent throughout the journey.
The carriage arrived at the government office quickly.
Upon Mo Beichen's arrival, the people in the government office immediately rushed out to greet him with utmost respect.
Wang Simeng bought the land very quickly, acquiring 100 acres of wasteland and a mountain adjacent to it in no time. The distance from the capital was about an hour and a half by carriage. The price was also very cheap, costing only 50,000 taels of silver.
The people in the government office said that the land there was not fertile, which is why the price was cheaper.
Wang Simeng also knew that such a cheap and good location was not only due to the land itself, but also because Mo Beichen was there.
After Wang Simeng and her companion left the government office, whispers began to circulate within the office.
"Did you see that? There's a woman next to the Regent."
"Nonsense, of course I saw it. I also saw the Regent's tender gaze towards that woman."
"Who do you think that woman is?"
"I guess..."
"You've finished everything? You dare discuss the Regent's affairs? Do you want to die?"
Just then, an elderly man in official robes strode over from a distance and sternly commanded.
"Yes, yes, we won't dare to do it again."
Everyone lowered their heads.
"Hmph, you're not allowed to talk about the Regent anymore, or you'll regret it. Now get out of here." With that, he turned and left.
These brats! How dare you talk about the Regent? When people talked about him behind his back, he heard them and dealt with them immediately.
Don't be fooled by his usual aloofness and indifference; he can be ruthless, even more so than the emperor, and the consequences of angering him are severe.
"These guys have absolutely no sense of propriety," the old man thought to himself.
Mo Beichen escorted Wang Simeng back to her residence in the suburbs of Beijing.
"Si Meng, are you going to build a house?" Mo Beichen asked with a smile.
