Chapter 3 She's Just a Pawn

Mo Yunzhu smiled in her heart. This second sister couldn't wait to stimulate her.

"It's okay. The emperor feels guilty about Prince Lan and will definitely not mistreat him. I won't suffer if I marry him and become his consort. Besides, Prince Lan is handsome, so my second sister won't have to worry about me."

"But sister, no matter how handsome Prince Lan is, he is still a cripple. He is far inferior to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Mo Huaiqing's eyes flashed as she continued to provoke Mo Yunzhu.

"The lame man is good, which means he has no chance of competing for the throne. The emperor has so many sons, nine of whom are adults, and their ages are not much different. Do you think the prince will definitely be able to ascend to the throne?"

"Big sister!" Mo Huaiqing's expression changed instantly, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Mo Yunzhu saw her father Mo Tiancheng's old face change, and then he seemed to fall into deep thought.

"Yunzhu, you can't say that." Madam Mo was also frightened, and immediately said to Mo Huaiqing, "Huaiqing, although Prince Lan's legs are not good, your sister is right. Prince Lan will live a stable life in the future. Isn't this a good thing?"

Mo Huaiqing immediately agreed, and looked at the general as if he had thought of something, and said, "Dad, do you think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be in danger? Recently, there have been rumors that several princes seem to be dissatisfied with the Crown Prince..."

"Shut up!" the general shouted fiercely, "Don't make irresponsible remarks. The government is unstable right now. If the emperor hears anything, I'm afraid there will be another bloody storm."

Mo Huaiqing was so frightened that he trembled all over. He immediately looked at Mo Yunzhu with angrily eyes. Why could she say anything, but be attacked for just one word she said?

Are I their biological child?

Mo Yunzhu raised her eyebrows and said, "Dad, Mom, I agree to marry Prince Lan, but I want to meet Prince Lan first."

"Sister, do you think what people say about you outside isn't harsh enough?" Mo Huaiqing couldn't help but make fun of her again.

"Since it's already ugly enough, what does it matter if it gets even uglier? Second sister, you must be careful and don't let anyone frame you. If the other party is not as good as Prince Lan, Second sister will be even more pitiful."

"Big sister, what are you talking about! How is it possible! I am not you, who dares to get drunk when taking a slave out!"

Mo Yunzhu's aura suddenly turned cold, and she took a step forward and approached Mo Huaiqing.

"Second sister, have you forgotten that I was poisoned?" Mo Yunzhu's eyes were as sharp as knives, making Mo Huaiqing feel cold all over.

"Who told you to be so careless? Why did you harm me? It wasn't me who poisoned you!" Mo Huaiqing said angrily.

"Really? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hasn't found the real murderer yet. Is it that difficult?"

"There were so many people that day, anyone could have been involved. Your Highness would have to check each one of them. It wouldn't be that quick."

"Oh, second sister knows it so clearly." Mo Yunzhu smiled evilly.

"I, I also want to know the truth as soon as possible so that I can punish the evildoers as soon as possible."

"Yeah, it's really evil, really vicious. If I knew who it was, I would definitely skin her alive and drink her blood, leaving her no chance to regret it!"

"Ah!" Mo Huaiqing screamed in fear, "Mo Yunzhu, please stop scaring me! Are you too shocked? You've changed like a completely different person."

"How can I not change? If you harm my reputation today, you might kill me tomorrow. I have to change to protect myself, right? Mom and Dad, I'm going to go out for a while. I'm bored in the mansion."

Mo Yunzhu bowed to her parents and left.

“Dad, Mom! Look at my eldest sister…” Mo Huaiqing stomped his feet immediately.

"Huaiqing, does Yunzhu have any misunderstandings about you?" the general's wife frowned.

"How should I know? My elder sister was acting weird that day. It's not that I didn't want to protect her, but by the time I knew about it, it had already happened."

"Huaiqing, you were not involved in this, were you?" Mo Tiancheng asked with a gloomy face.

"Dad! What are you saying?" Mo Huaiqing burst into tears. "How could I do such a thing? She is my biological sister!"

"Then tell daddy why the Crown Prince said in private that he wanted to marry you?" Mo Tiancheng looked at his second daughter coldly.

Mo Huaiqing was immediately shocked, but inwardly she was overjoyed. She quickly shook her head and said, "Dad, I really don't know. How could the Crown Prince do that?"

"Well, it seems that the prince is reluctant to leave the General's Mansion. If he can't marry your elder sister, he also wants to marry you. However, Dad will not agree. You will rarely see the prince in the future, do you know?"

Mo Huaiqing looked up at his father's dark and serious expression, tightly grasped his hands in his sleeves, and then suddenly raised his head and asked, "Dad, why can my eldest sister do it but I can't?"

"You idiot! Haven't you seen the prince clearly? He beat your sister without knowing the truth and wrongly accused her. How could I marry my daughter to him? Is this general shameless?"

Mo Huaiqing was stunned, and then his eyes turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, are you trying to help me vent my anger, or do you not want me to be the Crown Princess?"

"What? You really want to marry the prince?" Mo Tiancheng and Mrs. Mo looked at their second daughter in shock.

"Why can't I? Why do you only protect my sister and never care about my feelings!"

Mo Huaiqing seemed to be completely shocked. Her pretty face was filled with tears and her eyes were full of hatred. Her last words were spoken in shouts.

"Huai Qing, what nonsense are you talking about? We are your parents, how can we not care about you? The prince is definitely not a good match."

"If my sister were the Crown Princess, you wouldn't say that!" Mo Huaiqing said angrily.

"Silly child, your sister was arranged to marry by the Queen Mother. There was nothing she could do about it. In fact, your parents didn't want her to be the Crown Princess at all." Madam Mo sighed.

"Huai Qing, Dad is warning you, you are not allowed to do that! Don't think about becoming the Crown Princess anymore! Dad will help you find a good marriage!"

Mo Huaiqing was so angry that he was shaking all over, tears streaming down his face, staring at his father fiercely, and finally ran out.

"Keep an eye on the Second Miss and don't let her leave the house!" Mo Tiancheng immediately instructed his men.

"Yes!" The guard followed immediately.

Mo Yunzhu didn't know that her sister had a big fight with her parents. She didn't care that she would have to deal with them sooner or later, so she just jumped around for now.

Judging from the flirts she and the prince have been having, I'm afraid they've been together for a long time.

However, she was not sure whether this was done by Mo Huaiqing who bought Tong Shaoyao or whether the prince was also involved.

As for the other victim, Prince Lan, she also had doubts, so she first had to go to Prince Lan's Mansion to meet the handsome and elegant Prince Lan.

In the Xuanji Courtyard of Prince Lan's Mansion, Prince Lan's confidant Hao Jiang was also happy when he saw his master's charming smile.

"Congratulations to the master for achieving his wish and successfully marrying the eldest daughter of the general's mansion."

Prince Lan put down the freshly-made imperial edict and sneered, "The wedding will be in a month."

"Master, Mo Yunzhu likes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. This blow is very big. I'm afraid she won't be in a good mood towards you..."

"She is just a chess piece. We will marry her and place her in Qionghua Garden." Jun Huolan snorted with disdain.

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards outside ran in and shouted, "My Lord, Miss Mo wants to see you!"

“Ahem…Who?” Jun Huolan thought he was hallucinating.
