Chapter 190 Blackmail (2)
Light smoke was emitting from the censer, and the faint aroma of red sandalwood was wafting in the room. Mo Xi tilted his head slightly, and saw that the incense in the censer had already burned more than half.
The old man sitting there didn't speak, just sat there calmly, sipping tea, and there was a weird atmosphere in the quiet room.
She didn't know how to answer Wang's words. No matter how she answered, she was wrong. Instead of doing this, she might as well not say anything.
On the surface, Wang seemed to be drinking tea, but her eyes never strayed away from Mo Xi's body, observing his every move.
I have to say that she admires her as a granddaughter. It is really good to have such concentration at such a young age.That's why Mo Xi has always resisted her, but she didn't really punish her.
"What, are you dissatisfied with me in your heart?" Wang said lightly.
Hearing this, Mo Xi stopped straightening her back and said, "Don't dare."
It is not dare, not not.Not daring means dissatisfaction in the heart, and because of Wang's authority, he dare not show it.No, it's just my admiration for Wang.
These two words have very different meanings. How could someone as shrewd as Mrs. Wang fail to recognize them?
At that moment, Mrs. Wang snorted coldly: "Qi girl, you know, I have been tolerant to you these days. If I put it on someone else, I am afraid that I have seven or eight lives, which is not enough for him to live."
"Grandmother's tricks, Mo Xi has long seen. Back then, grandma treated Sixth Brother like this, didn't she?" Mo Xi calmly retorted.If you look at it, you can only feel that Mo Xi is standing there obediently, with lowered eyebrows and obedient eyes, how does that obedient appearance look like what she said?
But those words came from her mouth.
After Mo Xi finished speaking, she felt a sharp gaze sweeping towards her.Mo Xi thought, if eyes can really kill, then Wang's eyes are the sharpest knife, killing without blood!
"Qi girl, have I been too kind to you? So that you contradict me so fearlessly?" Wang narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at Mo Xi with danger in her eyes.
Mo Xi raised her head, glanced at Wang Shi, met Wang Shi's dangerous eyes, then lowered her head again, said nothing, and stood there respectfully.
"Seventh girl, you asked me to give you a correct answer, but how can you give me an accurate answer?" Wang's voice raised a little bit, and she was a little angry: "The old woman has lived such a long life, how many times have she seen her?" People, how many people have I seen, but I just don't understand, what exactly do you want to do? Could it be that you want to stand in the court like a man and discuss state affairs together?"
Wang's words came to Mo Xi's ears, and Mo Xi's eyelashes trembled a few times, "Grandmother, Xi'er doesn't want that, Xi'er just wants to be able to control her own destiny."
"You control your own destiny?" Wang sneered: "It's obviously a joke. Do you know where you are standing now? Do you know where all your food and clothing come from? It's the Mohist family. It's the Mo family. To put it bluntly, if you left the Mo family and were just a weak woman, would you still look at you when you were the son of Xiao? Would you come to propose marriage if you were the son of Xuan? And make me pretend to be sick!"
Wang Shi said, the anger in her heart became even worse, she sat on the seat, panting heavily, and after a while, she calmed down a little, and said: "You know, if Mr. Xuan finds out, I was designed by you, there will be What kind of consequences?" The low tone contained something that Mo Xi couldn't figure out.
Mo Xi raised her head in surprise, and looked at the old man sitting there. She was probably very annoyed, and now she didn't even want to look at her.
For some reason, Mo Xi's heart softened. Maybe it's not that she doesn't care about her.Put yourself in her shoes and think about it. If she stood in Wang's perspective, she might do the same thing as Wang.
Thinking of this, Mo Xi's tone softened: "Grandmother, don't worry, if it is really found out and the evidence is solid, Xi'er will not implicate the Mo family. At that time, Xi'er will go to Fengguo Mansion to plead guilty." .”
Hearing this, Wang turned her head and forgot to take a look at Mo Xi, whose eyes were deep and obscure.
"You are still too inexperienced and not thoughtful enough." Wang sighed and turned her head away.
If it is really found out, there is only one Mo Xi, how can this matter be calmed down?Then how could the Lin family easily let the Mo family go?
The four major families of the Linxi Dynasty seem to be in harmony on the surface. However, if something happened to one of the families, the other families would just stand by and watch it happen.
Under the dim light, Mo Xi could only see Wang's side face, but couldn't see the expression on Wang's face clearly, wondering what she was thinking about.
Mo Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, trying to figure out what Wang was thinking, and sighed inwardly. There is no way to avoid things, and there are some things that perhaps should be understood.
"Grandmother, this time, Xi'er is indeed wrong, but Xi'er has a reason why she can't say it. Tomorrow, Xi'er will go to King Jing's mansion to apologize to Princess Jing." Mo Xi's words, to the Wang family, It was just a hint, and Mo Xi bowed his head.
Originally, this was the strategy she had considered. If it weren't for the fact that Wang ordered someone to take Luyao away and angered her, she would not have said those words before.
"Have you figured it out? I don't want to see something happen halfway to offend Concubine Jing. Concubine Jing is not something that our Mo family can offend!"
"Xi'er has figured it out." As long as the person she married was not Lin Yuxuan, she would not be so disgusted.Besides, Mo Xi understands Jing Xiao and treats her well. If she marries him, she will be considered happy!
"This time, it was your choice, not my persecution. Don't blame me in the future."
Although it wasn't Wang's persecution, it was she who forced her to walk on this road.
"Xi'er understands." Mo Xi said calmly, her brows were lowered, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and there was a slight fluctuation on her face. Due to the dim light, Wang did not notice it.
"If that's the case, you can go back." After saying that, Wang clapped three palms, and the door opened from the outside. Mo Xi looked up and saw Luyao who was tied up and covered her mouth.
Madam Zhu gave those servants a wink, and those people released Luyao. After regaining her freedom, Luyao rushed to Mo Xi's side, looked at the people around vigilantly, and whispered: " Girl, are you okay?"
Mo Xi looked at Luyao's peaceful appearance, smiled calmly, turned around, looked at Wang, bowed and saluted, "Thank you, grandma."
Wang snorted coldly and didn't appreciate it.
"Qi girl, this is the last chance I'll give you. If something like this happens again in the future, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless." As she spoke, Wang's eyes seemed to slip across Lu Yao's face unintentionally.
Hearing this, Mo Xi's body froze, her hands and feet were cold.
After a long time, Mo Xi finally recovered her voice, opened her mouth, and said, "Yes."
After finishing speaking, Mo Xi led Luyao out of the Changhe Courtyard.
