Chapter 33: Saving Wu Shang, provoking Helian Yi (2)

With Mo Youyou leaving, only Wu Shang and Yue Er remained. The two servants awkwardly looked at each other.

Yue Er walked over to Wu Shang timidly, and spoke to him in a low voice,

“Senior Wu Shang, let me help you up.”

“No need!”

After he finished speaking, he propped himself up. Wu Shang endured the pain and left the Northern Courtyard with much difficulty.

Yue Er stood rooted in her spot. Her gaze was blank as she watched Wu Shang’s limping figure slowly disappear and furrowed her brows. I wonder how the young mistress is doing. Will the prince bully her?

Mo Youyou entered Helian Yi’s study and randomly found a place to sit. Helian Yi, who was sitting at the desk, picked up a pen and started writing on the Xuan paper, occasionally glancing at Mo Youyou.

After a long while, Mo Youyou could no longer hold the silence, she stood up and walked towards Helian Yi. Helian Yi felt that something was amiss and he quickly covered the paper on his table. He raised his head, looked at Mo Youyou with cold eyes, and spoke with a voice devoid of any warmth.

“Do you know that you are wrong?”

Mo Youyou unhappily jumped onto Helian Yi’s desk. To relieve Helian Yi’s anger, she had no choice but to lower her head and admit her mistake. It was also true that she was currently living in someone else’s home. She was eating someone else’s food and is even sleeping in their beds. So lowering her eyes, Mo Youyou nodded her head with a hint of grievance.

However, this attitude of admitting her wrongdoings made Helian Yi feel speechless. Only Mo Youyou would have the guts to sit on his desk while admitting her mistakes!

Seeing that Helian Yi almost wanted to make her eat her tears, Mo Youyou realized that she had sat in the wrong place, and with a flash, she jumped down from the table and sheepishly smiled at Helian Yi.

“Sorry Royal Uncle! Hehehe, get used to it, get used to it…”

“Humph! You must learn the rules of this Prince’s Manor from the Senior Nanny. It would be best if you could put away your scoundrelly look before entering the palace tomorrow!”

Hearing Helian Yi’s words, Mo Youyou gnashed her teeth in anger and pointed at him, then at herself.

“You! I…!”

“Hmm?”

“I…I know Royal Uncle. Then, if there’s nothing else, Youyou will go down first.”

After that, Mo Youyou turned and fled from Helian Yi’s study.

Gazing at Mo Youyou’s petite figure walking at the side of the pond with her servant, Helian Yi frowned, his eyes suddenly darkened.

He walked over to his desk and opened the finished painting. Moving towards the window, he then glanced at Mo Youyou, who was squatting outside. Helian Yi felt his heart sank, his lips opening lightly.

“Can this Prince be interested in you?! Mo Youyou, are you truly General Mo’s foolish Ninth Miss?”

At this moment, in Mo Residence, Mo Yan and Mo Li sat in front of a table. The two of them were glaring at the black-clothed man kneeling on the floor.

A few minutes passed, and Mo Li was the first to speak, breaking the stifling silence. Her gloomy voice echoed inside the room.

“Trash! Why not do it like a flash in the pan? To dare run towards Prince Jing’s carriage to stab him, you people sure have the guts! Why did my mother even support a bunch of wastes like you?!”

Mo Yan stood up and assisted Mo Li.

“Elder sister, don’t get angry yet. Let him finish.”

After saying that, Mo Yan motioned the black-clothed man to give them a reasonable explanation. The man in black raised his head to look at the two sisters and replied:

“Reporting to Second Miss and Fourth Miss, if my men were only to make a small scale attack, not to mention being unable to kill Mo Youyou, I am afraid that the entire Lifesteal Hall that we have painstakingly nurtured over the years would not even survive until today! Furthermore, our people realized that Mo Youyou and His Highness the Crown Prince were very close. That’s why they dared to act rashly.”

After Mo Li heard the black-clothed man’s words, she looked at Mo Yan. She did not expect that Mo Youyou would dare to seduce Tong Li Kingdom’s, Crown Prince!

Mo Yan’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately spoke to Mo Li,

“Second Sister, Isn’t Helian Yao’er the Crown Prince? I remember back then that the Emperor even gave the two of you a marriage? Tell me, if mother knew about this matter, what would happen to Mo Youyou?”

Mo Li glanced at Mo Yan and started pacing back and forth in front of her. After a long while, she spoke to the black-clothed man.

“You can leave first!”

Waiting until the black-clothed man left, Mo Li took Mo Yan’s hand and once again sat back down on the table, whispering into her ears.

“Yan’er…A thing such as this…”

Hearing Mo Li’s words, Mo Yan nodded with a pleased smile, and thought: ‘Mo Youyou! Let’s see if you’ll still be as lucky as you were last time! Poison couldn’t poison you! Drowning you in the septic tank also didn’t work! Your life is so sturdy! But I don’t believe that you can walk out of Imperial Palace alive if you are proven to be a slut!’

“Fourth Sister don’t tell Mother about this, okay? I don’t want her to worry about us.”

Mo Yan held Mo Li’s hand and laughed. “I know, Big sister! Don’t worry.”

Mo Youyou, who had just entered the southern wing, suddenly felt a shiver run down her spine, she could not help but sneeze and mutter softly,

“Who scolded me? Or did someone miss me? Hmm. Maybe I’ll get lucky and make a small fortune today?”

Yue Er thought that her master was talking to her, hesitating she asked Mo Youyou.

“Miss, did you call Yue Er?”

Mo Youyou turned around and looked at Yue Er who was behind her, “Nothing. Let’s go back first. I’m afraid the black hole of my life will come soon.”

“Miss, what is a black hole in life?”

Mo Youyou thought of how she would explain things to Yue Er as she walked. Upon reaching the entrance of her sleeping hall, she said to Yue Er.

“Yue Er, you see…Later, a Senior Nanny that Prince Jing sent will come over to teach me etiquette. And it sounds like a headache-inducing thing to do.”

Mo Youyou remembered a TV show she watched where the Senior Nanny was very fierce, and even pricked the student’s body with needles. It already hurts just thinking about it!

Thinking of the ways how the Senior Nanny would teach her a lesson, Mo Youyou’s heart ached.

However, what she did not know was the Senior Nanny that Helian Yi sent over was entirely different from what she had imagined.

Yue Er was still wondering what Mo Youyou meant when a commotion started outside of the southern courtyard. Mo Youyou plopped down on a chair and stared at the people walking over, and said to Yue Er in a low voice:

“Yue Er, it’s bad. My life is becoming black.”

Yue Er stared at the incoming woman. She was wearing a palace dress, a string of silver inlaid with jade hung around her waist. The corners of her eyes were full of wrinkles, and her face was expressionless. She walked straight towards her.

Mo Youyou could tell that the woman was the Senior Nanny that Helian Yi had arranged for her. After sizing up the Senior Nanny for a while, Mo Youyou stood up, walked up, and greeted the Senior Nanny.

“Hello, Auntie.”

The senior nanny bent her body slightly. Her voice was calm and contained a trace of deterrence in it. She reminded Mo Youyou.

“Ninth Miss, please take note of your words and actions! This servant was sent here by Prince Jing to guide you in learning the rules of the palace. I hope Ninth Miss will not lose her etiquette as to differentiate a master and servant. Ninth Miss can call me Senior Nanny Rong.”

When Mo Youyo heard her words, she couldn’t help but vomit blood.

She was only observing the nanny’s appearance, her slightly ample body and the bun on her head that revealed plenty of white hair. But she didn’t expect that she’s also called Senior Nanny Rong!

At that moment, Mo Youyou started to suspect if Senior Nanny Rong had also teleported here from the Qing Dynasty!
