Mo Mingzhu was feeding the horses in the stable in the backyard.

Although servants were arranged, Jiang Wu knew that the child took care of his beloved horse himself.

But when she arrived, she was a little surprised to see the Zhaoye Jade Lion and Mingzhu combing its hair.

“Ah!” Jiang Wu exclaimed in surprise. “Why is this horse still here? Mingzhu, didn’t you send it to my house?”

Just two days after the horse race, a horse was in the mansion. Jiang Wu naturally thought Mingzhu had sent it, but she was busy looking after the children these days and had no time to take a look at it. She just took a few glances and then forgot about it.

Now seeing that the horse was still here with Mingzhu, she was stunned for a moment.

Mingzhu obviously reacted and seemed to have figured it out before she spoke: “When I sent this horse to the Madam’s house, it was rejected. I guess it was another horse that someone else found for you.”

Jiang Wu really didn’t notice that it was not the same horse. She just felt that Mingzhu’s tone was strange when she said this, but she didn’t think much about it.

She smiled: “That’s good. Such a good horse can only be used in your hands. She is so beautiful and a good match for you. I haven’t even ridden the one in my house once.”

Jiang Wu finally realized that Mingzhu seemed to be in a bad mood. Although she seemed to have eased a little after hearing what he said, the gloom in her eyes was still there.

Needless to say, the thing that could make such an expression on the lively and capable girl must be something emotional. Jiang Wu immediately remembered the purpose of his visit.

So she got a little closer.

Seeing her action, Mingzhu looked a little flustered and quickly stopped her: “This stable smells bad, Madam; please stay away.”

“It’s okay.” Jiang Wu walked to the outside of the stable. Fortunately, there was no strong odor. She stood outside and looked at the girl holding the saddle inside. “Mingzhu, what do you think of Li Gōngzi?”

She asked carefully. After all, she was a young girl just beginning to fall in love, and she didn’t have the heart to say anything too harsh right away.

Mingzhu looked a little surprised that she asked this out of the blue. After a brief thought, she said, “He’s fine.”

In fact, if Jiang Wu listened carefully, she would be able to tell that these words did not contain any trace of a young girl’s love in her heart.

But in her heart, Mingzhu has always been a carefree and straightforward person, so when she heard her say that, she became even more worried.

Where should one even begin to persuade?

When Mingzhu realized that the beautiful woman was frowning because of her, she felt that her depressed mood, which had lasted for several days, suddenly brightened up.

She watched the woman take two more steps toward the stable, put her hands on the railing, and say in a tone that seemed to be afraid of hurting her: “Mingzhu, in fact, Li Gōngzi is not a good man. I have met his mother, and she is not an easy person to get along with.”

“That doesn’t matter,” Mingzhu said deliberately. “As long as Li Lang treats me well, that’s all. Serving my parents-in-law is what I should do.”

In fact, how could Mingzhu be interested in that uneducated, unskilled playboy? If that man was not useful, she would not want to look at him.

But only this silly woman would believe it.

She was still thinking hard about how to persuade her: “A man’s love is unreliable. Even if he treats you well now, it doesn’t mean he will treat you well in the future. You don’t have your family to support you. What if you get bullied in the future?”

She didn’t know if it was because she pulled too tight, but the horse started to move restlessly.

Mingzhu came back to her senses, and while soothing it and stroking its fur, she replied to Jiang Wu: “Li Lang won’t do that.”

While speaking, she concealed the slightly upturned corners of her mouth by turning her head.

Jiang Wu was completely unaware that she was doing something evil in her heart. No matter how smart a woman was, she would be badly harmed when it came to love.

She had lived half her life and finally realized that love was not as good as choosing a suitable person to spend the rest of your life with. This suitable person should be suitable in various senses, such as temperament and character, as well as a family background that was well matched.

All in all, people like her and Chu Ling didn’t get any of them, so they could only end up like this.

Jiang Wu couldn’t bear to see Mingzhu suffer like this any longer.

The mother who treated her as the apple of her eye and said she only wanted her as her child would certainly be reluctant to let her go.

“Mingzhu,” So she looked at the woman in the stable who was dressed simply but looked heroic and continued to persuade her without giving up, “You are still young; I will not harm you. Besides, your father only has you as his daughter, and he is reluctant to let you get married. You can marry someone to marry into the family, and in the future, our family will always be together, and no one will dare to bully you.”

The woman, who was originally brushing the horse with her head tilted aside, suddenly turned back to look at her after hearing this, as if she was very shocked.

Jiang Wu belatedly realized what he was saying; her face suddenly turned red and she turned her eyes away, taking two steps back and away from the railing.

Although Mingzhu was smart and understood the relationship between herself and her father, she was still someone else’s wife, and it was somewhat shameless for her to say such things.

Because she diverted her gaze, she didn’t notice Mingzhu’s eyes shining with desire.

The family will always be together.

She recalled the happy scene of Jiang Wu and her two children and the girl’s gentle question, “Can we sleep together?”

Could she do it for her?

Yes, she could do it.

She hated that damn official so much. If she could leave him and be with her father, she would be her mother.

For the first time, Mingzhu felt that her father was of some use.

Before she could say anything, a crimson dress appeared.

“Jiang Wu, something happened.”

It was Qingyang’s voice.

Jiang Wu calmed down and apologized to Mingzhu: “Let’s talk about it later.” Then she went aside.

When they got there, Qingyang pulled her over and whispered, “I heard that Ruyue Jùnzhǔ was assassinated.”
