"Speaking of Mo Residence's background, I'm afraid elder sister has the right to talk about it."
Although Mo Bei did not see many people in the shop that day, he was still fearful of the day when rumors would spread all over the city. At that time, not to mention gaining power, even if he wanted to marry a good family, he would have to rely on the gradually declining glory of the Mo Residence.
She really wanted to tear Mo Bei's mouth apart in front of everyone so that no one could oppose her anymore. However, in front of everyone, Mo Nan only gently smiled, "I'm just teaching you some rules so that you won't be married off someday. I thought the Mo Residence had treated you badly."
Mo Nan treated himself as the owner of the Mo Residence, while Mo Bei was at most just a clown. His condescending tone made Mo Bei slightly frown, and just as he was about to mock Mo Bei, he heard a servant's voice from outside, "First Madam, the crown prince's sedan is about to arrive."
"Take him!"
Xie Guifang hurriedly got up. She was overjoyed as she thought about how she sent Mo Nan back to the Mo Residence that day. She had truly made up her mind. It seemed like her hard work in cultivating Mo Wuji had not gone down the drain.
Not long after, a group of people led by Xie Guifang had arrived at the Mo Residence to welcome the crown prince. After half an incense's time, the carriage arrived.
"Greetings, Crown Prince."
Xie Guifang and the others immediately bent down to kowtow. Yi Mo Xun casually nodded his head. "Stand up."
"Crown Prince, please take a seat. The inner room has prepared excellent jade-like spring water for you. They are all of the best quality."
Ji Mo Xun's blade-like side face did not change at all. Xie Gui Fang could not help but think that she had said too much. What kind of place was the Imperial Palace? How could the Mo Residence be comparable to it? Didn't she say that the Mo Residence was as wealthy as a country and wanted to become the target of public criticism?
Fortunately, Yi Mo Xun did not pursue the matter, Xie Guifang also secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She secretly reminded herself that she should not be too proud of Mo Nan getting the green eye of Yi Mo Xun.
"Prince, please have some tea."
He could smell a faint fragrance lingering around her body. Ji Mo Xun looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, causing him to blush slightly. He did not dare to look at Ji Mo Xun directly.
He was just putting on an act!
Mo Bei coldly watched the interaction between the two and thought to himself, "They are lovers, Mo Nan would probably be eager to enter the Eastern Palace." Mo Bei coldly watched the interaction between the two and thought to himself, "Mo Nan would probably be eager to enter the Eastern Palace.
Pity that in her previous life, she still did all sorts of disgraceful things in order to fulfill a promise. However, in this life, she would not be so muddle-headed as to indulge in the gentleness of Yi Mo Xun.
As for Ji Mo Xun and Mo Nan, Mo Nan wanted to get the position of Crown Prince Consort, but she didn't allow him to. If Mo Nan couldn't get it, then even if Mo Nan relied on his supreme status in the Mo Estate to get it, he would still have to pay a huge price.
"Have you been doing well recently?"
Although Ji Mo Xun was speaking to Mo Nan, his eyes were intentionally or unintentionally looking towards Mo Bei. However, the latter was only lowering his head as if he had all sorts of thoughts.
"Thanks to the Crown Prince's concern, Nan'er is fine."
Mo Nan had a faint smile on his face, and he raised his eyes slightly. He followed Yi Mo Xun's gaze to Mo Bei, and Mo Nan's eyes suddenly became cold. This little bitch, she was previously silent, but she used such a method to attract the attention of the crown prince!
"Where's Second Miss?"
Mo Bei raised his head, and for some unknown reason, he tried to suppress his sense of presence, which meant that Mo Xun should not have noticed him, but since Mo Bei had asked, Mo Bei did not have any intention of dodging. On the contrary, Mo Bei would be more than willing to use this opportunity to cut off Mo Nan's path.
"Thanks to the Crown Prince's concern, everything north of here is fine."
Mo Bei intentionally used the same tone as Mo Nan, but as expected, Mo Bei didn't notice that Mo Nan's face was getting more and more unsightly, "The crown prince is indeed a man of his word. He said that the Mo Residence has really come."
"North, don't speak nonsense!"
Xie Guifang quickly stopped Mo Beibei. Recently, this girl was getting more and more arrogant, causing Mo Beibei to lose his virginity. Who knew what she was planning to do now.
"I don't know about etiquette. If I'm mistaken about something, I hope that you don't take offense to it."
"It's alright. Second Miss Mo is naive and lonely."
As the saying goes, 'the one who speaks is unintentional, the one who listens has his own thoughts.' These words fell into the ears of Xie Guifang and Mo Nan, but it was not such a matter. Xie Guifang muttered in her heart, could it be that she misjudged Mo Xun was not interested in Mo Nan, but Mo Bei?
However, this didn't make sense at all! After all, Mo Nan was the young miss of the Mo Residence, he was a genius with exceptional looks and a first-class beauty, but what does this little b * stard Mo Bei have? He had inherited her mother's coquettish aura and was nothing more than a lowly bastard!
Thinking about this, Xie Guifang's mind gradually calmed down, but Mo Nan wasn't as calm as Xie Guifang. She secretly gave Auntie Song a look, and Auntie Song nodded. Not long after, Auntie Song brought the maids from the kitchen to serve them exquisite pastries.
"Crown Prince, this was personally made by Nan'er. This little girl has always been clever and dexterous. Even the palace's chef would only be able to put so much effort into this."
"Good workmanship indeed."
The fragrance of the unique osmanthus flower immediately permeated his mouth, it was thin but not greasy. The moment it entered his mouth, it melted. He could not help but slightly nod, "Lady Mo has indeed taught me a good daughter."
"Thank you, Crown Prince, for your praise."
For a moment, she even suspected that even Ji Mo Xun was eyeing Mo Bei, but now it seemed that she was overthinking. Mo Nan and Mo Bei were like clouds and mud, Mo Bei couldn't even be compared to Mo Nan's finger, let alone the fact that he was a threat to her position.
"Sister, please eat more. The osmanthus flowers are picked in the early morning. The fragrance is sweet and fragrant. It's perfect for making osmanthus cake."
"Since that's the case, then I won't be polite."
Mo Bei didn't reject her request. She came to pay respects so early in the morning and she was indeed a little hungry. It was just that her manner of eating was a bit unsightly.
