As soon as he stepped outside, he summoned his bodyguards.
"Following General Ke's rumor, give Mo Yu a serving too."
So you're using my jade pendant to blackmail my sweetheart, huh? You'll regret it.
Not long after, a woman with a large pregnant belly knelt at the entrance of the Mo Prince's Mansion.
She clutched her handkerchief, wiping away her tears. If a passerby asked what was wrong, she would mutter, her eyes still red:
"I was so stupid, really."
"I knew that men in this world were often fickle, but I never knew that someone as pure and noble as Prince Mo could be so. I was originally a songstress from Jiangnan, and I met him in the season when willow catkins were flying. That night, he spent a fortune to buy me. In those three short seconds of blissful spring night, he planted the seed of hope in my womb. He promised to take me into his household, but as my pregnancy became more and more apparent, he began to complain that my beauty was not what it used to be, that my waist was no longer slender..."
At this point, she broke down in tears.
She would cry like this every time someone came.
The guards at the Prince Mo's mansion had never encountered anything like this before and had no idea how to handle it.
They wanted to get rid of her immediately, but they were afraid she would spread rumors everywhere. They wanted to invite her into the mansion and bribe her to keep quiet, but that would indirectly confirm her accusations. So they sent someone to ask the prince for instructions, but the prince was focused on practicing his sword. The sword flashed so fast that anyone who got close would die. They tried to call out to him from a distance, but he was impatient and said that they could talk about it after he finished practicing his sword.
As a result, the situation has developed to its current uncontrollable state.
A large, enthusiastic crowd gathered at the entrance of the Prince Mo's residence, listening to her cry and her lament: "I was so foolish, so very foolish. I only knew that men in this world were often fickle, but I never imagined that someone as pure and upright as Prince Mo could be so... I met him when..."
Some of the more kind-hearted people joined her in wiping away tears.
Those bursting with a sense of justice whispered amongst themselves, criticizing Mo Yu for not being a man.
Of course, the word most frequently repeated in the crowd was still—three seconds.
When Mo Yu finally understood what had happened and rushed out, he was met with a rotten egg.
"Go to hell! You three-second man!"
Mo Yu reacted quickly, dodging the egg and narrowly avoiding a splatter on his face. His sharp gaze swept across the area, but he couldn't find anyone.
There were so many people gathered outside, heads were packed together, it was impossible to find them.
Mo Yu's face was frighteningly dark, but he still wanted to salvage his image in front of the public, so he turned to the woman and asked, "Madam, you say that I abandoned you after seducing you, can you provide any evidence?"
He tried to reason with the woman rationally, but she wouldn't listen: "When you used to watch the moon with me, you called me 'Sweetie,' but now that the affection is gone, you call me 'Madam'—"
The woman let out a soft moan and started crying again, clutching her handkerchief, which drew whispers from the onlookers.
