Chapter 37: Stunning
Mo Youyou stared at the familiar figure squeezed into the crowd and muttered, “It’s Ah De…What could a waiter like him do? Why is he joining in the commotion as well? ”
“Mo Youyou, if you continue to talk, do you believe that I will throw you down?!”
Mo Youyou looked at the Helian Yi speechlessly, what kind of world was this? How could this Prince Jing be so violent! In the years that she lived in the previous life as an assassin, she had never seen such a cold and overbearing man!
Ah De squeezed into the crowd, pulling the manager he asked,
“What’s going on?”
The manager replied with a look of sadness. “Five days ago, Lily sent someone to deliver a letter to say that she would arrive late today. However, a few hours had already passed, and she still hasn’t appeared.
Formerly, Lily thought that she would be delayed due to her private matters and would quickly rush over. But her servant, Qiu Xiang, suddenly came over and said that her Young Miss was suffering from grave illness and wouldn’t be able to come.”
Ah De understood what was going on, and squeezed out of the crowd with his brows knitted together. If Lily did not come today, then his plans to assassinate Xiao Lin would not work! After waiting for a long time, he was finally able to make use of this substitute appearance of his to deal with his royal brother. If he missed out on this great opportunity, he would have to wait another year.
Xiao Lin was a lustful person who liked to drink and laugh, but despite those traits, he had always been a threat to his position as the Crown Prince. Therefore, Xiao Zhai wanted to take this opportunity to finish him off.
Mo Youyou stood on the third floor. Seeing that Xiao Zhai’s expression was a little heavy, she couldn’t help but stretch out her head and wave at Xiao Zhai who was below, “Hey! Ah De! Ah De! ”
Xiao Zhai, who was in a daze, heard the familiar voice, raised his head to look, a glimpse of shock flashing past his eyes. He immediately retracted his gaze and headed straight for the third floor.
Helian Yi shot a glance at the excited Mo Youyou at his side, and warned her coldly: “Pay attention to your identity!”
Mo Youyou could only retract her expression and obediently stand next to Helian Yi like a small follower as she watched Xiao Zhai get closer and closer to them.
“Mo You, why did you suddenly leave yesterday? The shopkeeper couldn’t find you, and ordered me to look for you the whole day.”
Hearing Xiao Zhai’s teasing, Mo Youyou felt a little embarrassed. If not for this man by her side, she would not have left without even greeting him!
Laughing at Xiao Zhai, Mo Youyou explained anxiously: “Hehe, Ah De, I suddenly had a stomachache yesterday, so I had to hurry back. Sorry for the trouble. Oh, right, what happened over there? Why hasn’t that beauty appeared yet? ”
“I’m afraid she won’t be able to come today.”
Hearing Xiao Zhai’s words, Helian Yi raised his head and gestured for him to enter his room. Xiao Zhai turned his head and looked downstairs, and then followed Helian Yi into the “Wing” room. Leaving Mo Youyou outside who,
continued to watch the lively crowd on the first floor.
Helian Yi asked Xiao Zhai, “What’s going on?”
“Lily’s servant came over, saying that she was suffering from an old illness.”
“What about your plan?”
“I’ll think about it!” Pausing for a moment, Xiao Zhai peered outside the door and saw Mo Youyou’s back. Noticing that it looked remarkably similar to his, he turned to look at Helian Yi.
“Can I borrow the young master by your side for two hours?”
“Xiao Zhai, don’t tell me that you don’t know that she’s a woman?!”
Xiao Zhai scoffed, placed a hand on his chin, and unveiled a sly smile, “Of course I know! I also know that she is a woman of unparalleled beauty. Her looks are not any inferior to Lily!”
“So you’re after her?”
“Prince Jing is indeed a smart person! I will only borrow her from you for two hours. After that, she will be Prince Jing’s woman again! Furthermore, if Xiao Lin died, it would surely be beneficial for Prince Jing!
In recent years, even though I’m the crown prince, I have always been suppressed by Xiao Lin. Although Royal Father appears to put me in high regard, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that he intends to nurture Xiao Lin even more!
Your business transaction in the Tong Li Kingdom did not yield many benefits because of Xiao Lin. Everyone knows that Prince Jing is as wealthy as a nation. But here in the Tong Li Kingdom, you haven’t taken any profits.”
Helian Yi asked in a teasing tone: “So, you think that by borrowing Lily’s strength, you can get rid of your brother? Xiao Zhai, if Xiao Lin did not have much ability, how could he have become my obstacle? Do you think that he is actually addicted to beauties and only knows how to enjoy life?”
After Xiao Zhai heard these words, he was stunned for a moment. That’s right, if Xiao Lin was indeed that easy to deal with, without him doing anything, Helian Yi could have killed him long ago!
He raised his head and looked at Helian Yi, “Then what does Prince Jing mean by this?”
“Didn’t Crown Prince say earlier that he wanted to borrow Lily’s hand to kill Xiao Lin?”
“But, didn’t Prince Jing say …”
“I will borrow Lily’s power and kill him!”
After Helian Yi finished speaking, his dark and intense eyes stared fixedly at Mo Youyou, who was outside the door. Maybe Lily could not kill Xiao Lin, but he believed that there was nothing the woman outside the door could not do!
That day when he obeyed his father’s orders and
went to Mo Residence to issue a decree, he had personally witnessed how Mo Youyou dragged Mo Yan down into the fecal drain. Her movements were incredibly fast and agile, to the point where the angle was perfect!
Then there was the Orchid Garden’s Mo Li, who got tied to a tree branch in the middle of the hot spring and fell into the air. A woman without any
trace of inner strength was able to make Mo Li, who had strong martial arts skills, suffer a loss! Although Mo Li was deliberately concealing her force, with her personality, she would unmistakably let Mo Youyou experience some pain first before thinking of a plan that would frame Mo Youyou.
However, this was not the case. Mo Youyou was honestly able to tie her up and send her underwater unscathed! It was not an accident.
Seeing Helian Yi dazedly thinking, Xiao Zhai followed his gaze and reminded him, “Time is running out!”
Mo Youyou, who was standing by the terrace watching the show, felt a pair of cold eyes staring at her from behind. She suddenly turned around but accidentally bumped into Helian Yi’s hard chest.
Clutching her nose, Mo Youyou raised her head and glared at Helian Yi, “Hey! What are you doing, sneaking behind me like that, Ah, it hurts!”
Helian Yi gave Mo Youyou a cold stare, and ordered Wu Shang, who was guarding the door: “Take her down there and dress her up.”
“Hey, Helian Yi, how can you be so overbearing!”
Wu Shang spoke to Mo Youyou with a troubled expression, “Ninth Miss, please.”
Seeing that, Mo Youyou could only follow Wu Shang and leave. Yesterday, because of her, Wu Shang had been beaten to a pulp. His wounds must still have not healed. If she currently makes matters difficult for him, she would feel pretty bad.
However, on their way down, she had scolded Helian Yi in her heart countless times! Angrily muttering, “Humph, Helian Yi, you bastard, just you wait!”
When Wu Shang heard Mo Youyou’s words, he couldn’t help but shiver in fear. Luckily his Master was not around, if not he would be in trouble.
When Mo Youyou once again appeared in everyone’s line of sight, the hall fell in amazement! Even Helian Yi and Xiao Zhai, who was standing on the third floor waiting for her, were stunned by this scene!
Mo Youyou was wearing a pink dress with a dark yellow belt around her waist. She wore a red muslin outside. On the muslin, the pink peonies blossomed one after another like flower fairies, vividly reflecting her graceful figure.
Her waist-length hair hung down her back, and a white ribbon tied the hair back from her temples in a beautiful bow, leaving a few strands of black hair hanging down her chest.
A snow-white veil covered half of her face, only revealing a pair of bright and clear phoenix eyes as she looked around. Mo Youyou looked at the stupefied expressions of everyone, then raised her eyes and looked towards Helian Yi on the third floor.
When she saw that he was also staring at her, she became inexplicably nervous. Suddenly, someone from the crowd pointed at Mo Youyou and shouted: “Miss Lily is here! Look, Miss Lily is here!”
