Chapter 666 - 253: The Self-Bound Sisters! Zhixia Unlocks a New Achievement!
Ming’an Street.
In front of the Chen Mansion, two soft sedan chairs were parked.
He Yuzhi and Lady Jin Yun were warmly holding hands and chatting.
"Sister, won’t you come in and sit for a while?" He Yuzhi urged, "Since you’re already here, you should at least let me play the host."
"No, there are some matters at home that need attending to. I’ll come and catch up with you properly next time when I’m free," Lady Jin Yun tactfully declined.
"Alright then."
Seeing this, He Yuzhi didn’t say much else.
Lady Jin Yun hesitated slightly, then whispered, "Don’t blame me for being talkative, but Qi Yingrong is not a simple woman. You should be more vigilant."
Qi Yingrong is Lady Lv’s real name, later given the title of Madam Zhenyi.
Qi Yingrong has always been low-key, but those well-informed in the court know that Lv Huaiyu’s rise to power was not without the support of this Madam Zhenyi.
So what she says holds considerable weight, representing, to some extent, the will of the Lv Mansion.
"Don’t worry, sister, I have it in mind," He Yuzhi nodded. "I don’t want Mo’er to get entangled with the Lv family either. It’s just a matter of keeping up appearances."
"That’s good. Although I don’t understand politics, I know that it’s a deep water. Chen Mo is still young, and getting too involved is not a good thing..."
At this point, Lady Jin Yun paused, then whispered, "Speaking of which, is Chen Mo really the Whip Hero?"
He Yuzhi’s expression became slightly embarrassed, and she nodded, "That’s right."
"Then the underwear I sent you before..."
"All were designed by him."
"..."
Lady Jin Yun’s face turned slightly red.
She never imagined that the Whip Hero, who had become a sensation in elite circles and was known as a friend to women, was actually her future son-in-law?
Not only was she wearing the underwear designed by him, but she had also given several pieces to the Empress...
"Mother."
At this moment, a male voice sounded.
The two turned around to see Chen Mo approaching, smiling and greeting, "Lady Jin Yun is here too. Why didn’t I see Lin Catcher? By my calculations, it’s about time for the detoxification."
Lady Jin Yun shook her head, "Her Majesty the Empress has ordered that detoxification can only be done in the palace... Zhu’er is much better now, we’ll talk next time when we have a chance..."
?
Chen Mo was momentarily stunned.
Then he realized that Her Majesty the Empress must have found out about Lin Jingzhu coming to the Chen Mansion and was preparing to tighten the security...
"There are still things to do in the mansion, so I shall take my leave."
With that, Lady Jin Yun hurriedly got into the sedan chair.
Watching the departing sedan chair, Chen Mo was somewhat puzzled, "Why does it feel like Lady Jin Yun is acting strangely today?"
You still have the nerve to ask...
He Yuzhi glared at him, saying, "Let’s not talk about it for now... Today I met Lady Lv at the tea party. She publicly invited you to the Lv Mansion as a guest, seemingly trying to win you over..."
"Lady Lv?"
Chen Mo slightly raised his eyebrows, "The Lv family and we are not on the same path, so it’s best to keep a distance."
Even so, some things aren’t avoided just by wanting to avoid them.
Moreover, he always had a premonition that something major was about to happen in the city soon...
"I think so too. Every time I see that woman, I feel a chill down my spine," He Yuzhi shook her head. With her eyesight as a Martial Arts Grandmaster, she could naturally see that Qi Yingrong was just an ordinary person without any cultivation.
But for some reason, the other woman always gave her a prickling sensation as if being stabbed in the back.
"By the way, there’s one more thing."
"Qin Shu, I don’t know what got into her, but she suddenly made friendly gestures towards me... She not only gave me a piece of Purple Light Jade but also said that Yan Linghu had it coming and that you could interrogate him however you wanted..."
"Did she have her head caught in a door or something?"
He Yuzhi looked puzzled.
"..."
Chen Mo’s eyelids twitched.
Recalling the scene where Qin Shu drugged him and tried to lure him into studying, he shuddered.
What sort of mischief is that crazy woman up to again?
The two entered the mansion.
Just as Chen Mo was about to return to his room, He Yuzhi stopped him, frowning, "These days, Zhixia’s mood hasn’t been right. Did you bully her again?"
"Hehe, how could it be..."
Chen Mo’s eyes drifted, feeling a bit guilty.
Although he was helpless at the time, it was indeed "bullying," and it was even in front of Li Yuan...
It probably left her with quite a bit of psychological trauma.
"Zhixia is infatuated with you. You should be well aware of how much grievance she has endured these days."
He Yuzhi said sternly, "I don’t care how many women you have around you, but if you dare mistreat Zhixia, I’ll break your leg!"
Chen Mo smiled wryly, "Mother, don’t worry, I’m not that bad..."
"You better not be... Alright, go on."
He Yuzhi waved her hand impatiently.
After Chen Mo left, her expression turned conflicted, and she sighed softly.
If this brat were merely fickle, it wouldn’t matter much, as she could suppress those vixens, ensuring that Shen Zhixia remained the legitimate wife.
But who is Chen Mo involving himself with?
Her Majesty the Consort!
Tianshu Pavilion Daoist Venerable!
Even a strand of their hair is thicker than her waist!
If Shen Zhixia wants to compete with those two, there’s probably no good outcome...
"I hope I’m overthinking this."
"After all, the Emperor is still alive, and the Consort shouldn’t be so unrestrained. As for the Daoist Venerable... with Qingxuan around, it’s impossible for master and disciple to serve the same husband, right?"
He Yuzhi comforted herself silently.
Yet in her mind, she couldn’t help but picture the Consort and the Daoist Venerable serving her tea, sweetly calling her "mother"... Just thinking about it made her legs tremble uncontrollably.
