Chapter 244: Chapter 125: The Empress’s Counterattack! Dog-like Lackey, Surrender! (6K)_2
He Yuzhi crossed her arms and said, "Then tell me, which family are those two girls from?"
Chen Mo cleared his throat and whispered, "One is the Holy Daughter of the Moon Brilliance Sect, and the other is the oiran of the Imperial Music Bureau."
?!
He Yuzhi’s eyes widened in disbelief, suspecting she had misheard, "The Holy Daughter of the Moon Brilliance Sect? The woman who wanted to poison you? And you actually got involved with her... Are you courting death?"
Thinking back to what had happened, a flash of killing intent flickered in her eyes as she lifted her leg to head toward the East Wing.
Chen Mo quickly stopped her and said, "What happened back then was a misunderstanding, with the Gu God Sect pulling strings behind the scenes. Besides, she did help me..."
Not to mention the amount of effort Gu Manzhi put into the Zhou Family Case.
On that night of the Hundred Flowers Meeting alone, if not for her and Ye Henshui lending a hand, Chen Mo alone would have stood no chance against Jue Ling, and might have been secretly harmed by Elder Yu.
After Chen Mo explained the general situation, He Yuzhi’s expression finally softened, although her eyes still showed some suspicion, "Could it be that she’s controlling you with a Gu poison worm?"
Chen Mo said helplessly, "Is she an idiot? Knowing full well there’s a grandmaster like you here, would she still dare to come to the Chen Mansion and even reveal her identity?"
He Yuzhi thought and realized it made sense.
"But she is, after all, from the Moon Brilliance Sect, and like water and fire with the Empress. I’m afraid..."
"The Moon Brilliance Sect has already been destroyed, leaving only a few stragglers who can’t stir up any trouble. As for the Empress... give me some time, and I’ll take care of it."
Although He Yuzhi felt it was somewhat inappropriate, she also didn’t have a better solution.
Putting aside gratitude for a moment, the Holy Daughter is still somewhat controllable for now. If she were killed, and Chen Mo caught Ji Lianxing’s attention, the trouble could be even greater!
After all, Chen Mo couldn’t possibly stay in Tiandu City forever.
"Be mindful of your boundaries, don’t get too deeply involved. You know the Empress’s methods, be careful not to risk your life and family." He Yuzhi cautioned.
Mother, your warning comes too late. I’ve already plunged deep into old sentiments and nearly couldn’t extricate myself...
Chen Mo nodded, "Don’t worry, I’ll handle it with care."
Chen Mo’s strength and ability have improved significantly, and He Yuzhi was quite assured of him. She didn’t dwell on the matter further and changed the subject: "There’s another matter, what’s your relationship with Qingxuan?"
?
Chen Mo was taken aback upon hearing this, "Mother, why do you ask?"
He Yuzhi sneered, "Do you think I can’t see it? Whenever you’re mentioned, Qingxuan’s expression becomes somewhat unnatural, and she’s always so obedient to you... You rascal, you even dare to seduce the chief of the Three Saint Sect?"
Feeling slightly embarrassed, Chen Mo said, "Mother, you’re mistaken. Daoist Qingxuan and I are just friends."
"Hmph, don’t try to fool me with that."
"I don’t care how many women you have, but Zhixia is the daughter-in-law I’ve chosen, and she is destined to be the future wife of the Chen Family! If you dare wrong her, see if I don’t peel your skin!"
He Yuzhi scolded sternly.
Chen Mo said seriously, "Zhixia is dear to my heart, and I will never wrong her in this lifetime."
"I hope you mean what you say."
He Yuzhi didn’t say anything more.
Watching Chen Mo’s departing figure, her expression was a bit complicated.
The chief of the Tianshu Courtyard, the Holy Daughter of the Moon Brilliance Sect, the oiran of the Imperial Music Bureau... This boy is really getting out of hand!
Moreover, she had a feeling this might just be the beginning, and there would be even more outrageous things waiting for her...
"Zhixia, did you hear it all?" He Yuzhi called out.
"Yes."
Shen Zhixia lowered her head and walked out from behind the corner of the corridor.
He Yuzhi said gently, "Don’t worry, Auntie is always on your side. If you feel uncomfortable, Auntie will go and chase them away right now."
"Thank you, Auntie, but that’s not necessary." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Although Shen Zhixia felt a heavy heartache, she still forced herself to say, "After all, they are brother’s confidantes, and they have done him favors. If we drive them away, wouldn’t that put brother in an ungrateful position?"
If someone must be wronged, she would rather it be herself and not want to put Chen Mo in a difficult position.
He Yuzhi sighed and gently ruffled her hair, "It’s the crying child that gets the milk, sometimes women shouldn’t be too sensible."
Shen Zhixia tightly grasped her dress hem and said softly, "You’ve said before, ancient virtuous women all upheld themselves with magnanimity and benevolence, accommodating others to maintain family harmony and prosperity. I’ve always remembered that."
"Graceful and magnanimous, gentle and virtuous."
He Yuzhi smiled and said, "You know, you actually have a bit of a matron vibe now."
Shen Zhixia blinked and asked, "But I’m curious... Why doesn’t Uncle have a single concubine?"
"..."
He Yuzhi said lightly, "Your Uncle Chen has the intention, but not the courage, and even if he had the courage, his health might not withstand it."
Just a pair of torn black stockings almost made him miss the early court session, how could he have the energy to attract other women?
"Ahem, when the time comes, Auntie will teach you a few tricks to make sure Chen Mo focuses entirely on you."
"Speaking of which, how far have you two progressed, have you kissed yet?"
"K-... kissed, we have..."
"Next time you should..."
He Yuzhi began to impart her battle experience.
Shen Zhixia’s face turned red, but her eyes sparkled.
...
Meanwhile, just as Chen Mo exited the gates of the Chen Mansion, he saw two figures standing in front.
One was wearing a deep green patterned long dress, with a dignified temperament, the Imperial Empress’s personal female officer, Sun Senior Palace Lady.
The other, in flowing white garments with a cold demeanor, was the ice block Xu Qingyi.
The two exchanged a long-distance stare, their eyes filled with hostility, the air seeming to be laden with tension.
