Chapter 107 Showdown
Seeing Xiao Mo, Luo Yanjin walked over first: "Commander!"
He stood upright, but his voice was obviously excited and different from usual.
Xiao Mo nodded and looked towards Xu Shuyao.
The young lady was wearing a light apricot dress. Perhaps because of the long journey, the hem of her dress was not as neat and bright as before.
But her face was rosy, and she was obviously in a very good mood.
Xiao Mo's eyelids drooped and his gaze swept over the wet stain on the hem of the skirt.
Xu Shuyao didn't want to run into him at this moment, but since he was already there, she hurried forward with a smile and said hello: "My Lord!"
Xiao Mo nodded and looked at his subordinate again, and saw that his eyes were still on the young lady.
The cousin also pursed her lips, looking shy and timid.
The corners of Xiao Mo's mouth curled up slightly.
"Are you done? Then let's go back!" Then the man walked forward.
Xu Shuyao felt a little regretful, as she still wanted to get some more information out of the commander-in-chief!
And what a great slope they chose!
Leaving the hustle and bustle of the capital, there are wild flowers everywhere under your feet, green grass stretches to the horizon in the distance, and a gentle breeze blows by your ears.
Xu Shuyao did not follow immediately.
Seeing that the prince had already walked a few steps, he looked back with a look of surprise on his face.
She quickly gave the man in front of her a slightly apologetic smile, then bowed and left.
Xiao Mo walked in front, Wuming, who followed, was leading the horse in the middle, while Xu Shuyao was far behind them.
Wuming looked at his master in front of him, then looked at the young lady behind him, and stopped helplessly.
It took Xu Shuyao a long time to come closer.
Wuming saw that her skirt was dragging on the grass, which was a bit inconvenient, so he suggested: "Cousin, why don't you sit on the horse?"
When Xu Shuyao heard about riding a horse, her expression changed.
The guard had heard something about what happened last time, and he suppressed his smile.
Changing his previous indifference, he advised earnestly, "Miss, you should go up! I will lead the horse and walk slowly. If your dress gets wet, it will be difficult to explain when you return."
Xu Shuyao looked at the sky. It was still early!
I don’t know why the prince is in such a hurry to go back.
But... she looked at the hem of her skirt and found that it was indeed a little wet, so she lowered her head, rolled it up with her hands, and tied a knot.
Wuming's eyes widened, and he quickly looked away.
Xu Shuyao smiled. What's the big deal? She was wearing panties underneath, so she wasn't afraid of being seen.
When the hem of the skirt is rolled up, she walks with the wind.
In just a short while, she surpassed Wuming and was not far from the prince with a strange temper.
I originally planned to follow behind slowly, but Xiao Mo stopped unexpectedly.
Xu Shuyao could only trot over and greet him: "My Lord!"
The other person looked at her half-exposed pants and turned his head away with some disgust.
Only then did Xu Shuyao let down the hem of her rolled-up skirt.
After a while, Wuming also caught up, not on foot, but on horseback.
But when he passed by the two people, he did not stop, but walked all the way to the carriage.
Xu Shuyao thought that this guard was quite bold, as he didn't even wait for his master.
Xiao Mo spoke at this time, "What do you think of that person?"
Xu Shuyao thought it was good, but she still said, "We need to observe it further."
Xiao Mo smiled and fell silent for a moment.
On their way back, the two of them got on the same carriage again. Xu Shuyao looked at the other person and asked, "Why don't you ride a horse, my Lord?"
Xiao Mo glanced at her calmly, "Are you scared?"
Xu Shuyao couldn't explain it clearly. She had just met Luo Yanjin and she thought that this kind of man was pretty good.
It can't be the other person, it can also be a man with similar conditions to him.
She doesn't need a very good family background. If it's too good, people will look down on her background, or look down on the fact that she has no parents.
The influence of her family since childhood made Xu Shuyao unable to accept being anyone's concubine.
Therefore, at the Duke's Mansion, although she knew that the Fourth Young Master was interested in her, she still kept her distance from him.
And the prince in front of him, his thoughts are hard to understand.
Xiao Mo paid attention to her but also looked down on her.
Maybe there is still some attraction, but it is definitely not to the extent of liking or loving.
Xu Shuyao didn't want to be the concubine of such a man.
From the previous plum blossom viewing banquet, it can be seen that the daughter-in-law chosen by Wang should be a noble lady from a famous family in the capital, or a figure like Princess Huayang.
She didn't want her life to be held in the hands of these people, and her life or death depended on the mistress's decision.
Her appearance was destined to make the mistress fearful, and she herself was not the kind of woman who would be content and not fight for anything.
Xu Shuyao didn't want to continue this topic because these two words left too much room for imagination.
So she said seriously, "Yes, does the prince have any bad intentions towards Shu Yao?"
It’s better to say it directly than to guess.
Even if there was, she believed that this high and mighty prince would not bother to admit it.
So, let's take this opportunity to nip this ambiguity in the bud.
After hearing her words, Xiao Mo's eyes became sharp.
Xu Shuyao heard him chuckle, and then the car curtain was opened and closed again.
When I looked up again, the man had left.
Xu Shuyao had a calm expression, but the two maids standing beside the car were terrified.
Especially Qiao Wei, she was standing not far away just now, but she heard her master's words clearly.
Xu Shuyao clenched her hands tightly, and they were covered in sweat.
She admitted that she had received favors from the prince before and had always been careful to please him.
Not only him, but all the masters of the Duke's Mansion are her friends.
But right now, she felt that it was time to draw a clear line between herself and this prince.
In the ambiguity between men and women, it is usually the women who suffer in the end.
She didn't want to suffer any loss. The prince had plenty of capital, but she couldn't afford to lose.
The truth was revealed, but to Xiao Mo, it was just a romantic affair.
I really couldn't bear to let it go, so I just cleared out a courtyard and let people live in it.
As Xu Shuyao thought about these things, her mind gradually calmed down.
At this moment, the carriage they were riding in slowly drove towards the Duke's Mansion.
Wuying followed the carriage back to the mansion, while Wuming left with his master.
Seeing Xiao Mo's eyes as cold as ice after he got out of the car, Wuming couldn't help but shudder.
He has been the prince's bodyguard for some years and has seen the methods he uses against others.
The young lady looked smart, but she didn't know much about her master.
With Old Madam Xiao in the middle, I hope the master will still be considerate of us. After all, we are relatives!
