110: 109.
So it turned out to be a counterfeit.
110: 109.
So it turned out to be a counterfeit.
As expected, Mo Jiuqi’s face changed upon hearing this, and her gaze was cold as she stared at Mo Jiuli.
However, she still didn’t have an outburst, only lowering her head and standing beside Ouyang Luoxi, looking so pitiful…
Mo Jiuli sneered inwardly, her good elder sister was indeed not simple.
Thinking back to the scene she had witnessed when she met their mother in the Mo Family, Mo Jiuli understood that this mother and daughter duo must have been plotting numerous schemes…
Ouyang Luoxi’s face also turned dark upon hearing this, and he said to Mo Jiuli: “Miss, you really know how to make jokes.
She is my Princess Consort, how could she ever be someone’s maid!”
When facing Mo Jiuli, Ouyang Luoxi always felt a strange sensation within.
This stunningly beautiful woman would unknowingly attract his gaze, as if simply looking at her would make him feel content.
Yes, content…
Upon realizing his own thoughts, Ouyang Luoxi scared himself.
For so many years, he had countless women around him and never paid attention to them.
When did he start feeling content just at the sight of a woman?
Even now, as the Crown Prince, superior to all except for one person, he never felt content.
He was always cautious, strategizing, and eager to ascend to that position as soon as possible…
However, today, he felt a sense of contentment just by looking at a woman.
Perhaps he was crazy, or maybe there was something strange about the woman.
Ouyang Luoxi thought somewhat annoyedly…
“Princess Consort?
Boss, I heard that the Princess Consort of Fengyun Country is the legitimate daughter of the General’s Mansion, Mo Jiuli.
Is this lady Mo Jiuli?” As soon as Ouyang Luoxi’s words fell, the Third Ancestor from the Mo Family immediately walked over and asked Mo Jiuqi with a puzzled expression.
Mo Jiuli wore a mocking smile as she looked at Ouyang Luoxi, waiting for the Crown Prince’s answer…
“This humble woman is not Mo Jiuli.
My younger sister Jiuli disappeared a few years ago.
I am her elder sister, Mo Jiuqi…” Mo Jiuqi said softly.
When she mentioned that she was Mo Jiuli’s elder sister, a cold glint flashed across her face…
“Oh?
So this Princess Consort is merely a substitute?
Because her younger sister is gone, she’s taken her place.
I thought she was the real deal, turns out she’s just an imitation…” Mo Jiuli coldly commented from the side.
“You…
I’m not…” Mo Jiuqi stared at Mo Jiuli angrily, but she only bit her lip tightly and, in the end, didn’t explode with anger.
Seeing the wronged look on Mo Jiuqi’s face, Ouyang Luoxi instantly snapped back to reality and asserted, “Jiuqi is not a substitute.
There has only ever been one Princess Consort, and that’s Mo Jiuqi.
As for that trash Mo Jiuli, she doesn’t even deserve to dream of becoming the Princess Consort!”
Duan Muhan wanted to say something to the Crown Prince but suddenly caught Mo Jiuli’s gaze.
In the end, he moved his lips but said nothing…
Ouyang Luoxi, who initially regretted speaking impulsively, thought that Duan Muhan would say something.
However, when he looked over, he saw Duan Muhan lowering his head, seemingly lost in thought and showing no intention of speaking.
He suddenly felt that what he said was reasonable…
Mo Jiuli was rather curious about the relationship between the Crown Prince and the housekeeper.
They seemed quite intensely involved with each other.
The more she thought this, the more her eyes brazenly scanned back and forth between the two…
As Duan Muhan raised his head and noticed Mo Jiuli’s ambiguous gaze, he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
What was that look in her eyes?
He was clearly a man who liked women, not men!
If it weren’t for the wrong setting, Duan Muhan probably would have yelled out loud…
Being watched by Mo Jiuli, he unconsciously took a step back, distancing himself from Crown Prince Ouyang Luoxi, as if to tell Mo Jiuli that there was nothing going on between them…
Noticing Duan Muhan’s little movement, Mo Jiuli burst into laughter without any regard for face-saving…
Aside from the few people around Mo Jiuli, no one else noticed Duan Muhan’s movements.
As a result, Ouyang Luoxi, Mo Jiuqi, and Ouyang Luochen all turned their gazes to the sudden laughter from Mo Jiuli…
Mo Jiuli awkwardly coughed and then asked Ouyang Luoxi, “So, is it really like that?”
Upon hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Mo Jiuqi’s lips, clearly quite pleased with Ouyang Luoxi’s straightforward words…
“Well, if that’s the case, the Crown Prince wouldn’t be afraid to let the world know the real name of his Princess Consort, would he?” Mo Jiuli said to Mo Jiuqi with a sarcastic tone.
Mo Jiuqi’s face turned pale upon hearing this, as it had been a thorn in her heart for so many years.
Back then, she had gone to great lengths to win over the Crown Prince and even got rid of that trash…
She thought everything would proceed smoothly but never expected the marriage engagement between the Crown Prince and that trash to remain unresolved…
Though, in these years, it was always her who stayed by the Crown Prince’s side, and he had promised her the position of Princess Consort.
However, in the eyes of the world, the name of the Princess Consort still belonged to that trash Mo Jiuli…
Occasionally, when she went out with the Crown Prince, she would see disdain and ridicule in the eyes of some people.
That feeling always choked up her heart…
Ouyang Luoxi was also momentarily stunned upon hearing this.
He had brought this issue up before, but it was always refused by both his Emperor Father and his grandmother, leaving him helpless…
“This matter seems to have nothing to do with you, Miss!” Ouyang Luoxi quickly regained his composure, looking at Mo Jiuli with inquisitive eyes.
After all, they hadn’t come here today to discuss who his Princess Consort should be, but to deal with the matters of Elder Luan’s and Princess Min’s deaths…
This woman had somehow turned the topic to him, he had truly underestimated her…
“Heh, nothing to do with me?
Indeed, but I have a kind heart and can’t stand seeing someone clinging to another woman with the title of someone else’s fiancé, tarnishing that young lady’s reputation.
So, I really want to get involved!
After all, you brought so many people here today to settle accounts with me, right?
I’ve said it, I don’t need money.
If you really can’t bear to let a beauty from your side serve as a maid, then use your marriage contract to make up for it.
As long as you dissolve your current engagement, today’s intrusion into my room and damage of my property will be forgiven…” Mo Jiuli said nonchalantly.
Upon hearing this, the four Mo Family Elders’ mouths twitched viciously.
Why did it seem more and more wrong to them?
It felt like these people were indeed here to settle accounts, but also like they were here to be settled with…
