Chapter 284 He is very weird...
Seeing the young man laughing to himself again, Ling Chuan seemed to be infected and slightly curved his eyes, letting out a chuckle from his throat.
But he didn't say anything. Instead, he poured each of them half a bowl of scented tea, then lowered his head to drink it to moisten their throats.
Xia Mo, who was laughing happily, stopped laughing after a long time. When he looked up again, his black eyes were as clear and bright as water.
His ruddy lips curled up into a low-quality arc, and then he said to the man in a sinister tone:
"Brother Chuan, that bastard will definitely regret this! It's best to wait until he has no way out before exposing this matter. It will catch him off guard and make him feel like a thousand arrows piercing his heart, causing him unbearable pain!"
Xia Mo's tone was very confident, as if Gao Jianren and the third prince could really fight to the end.
Isn't he very ambitious? Doesn't he want to climb up by stepping on his brother Chuan? He should be made to feel the pain of falling from a height!
Killing people and destroying their hearts, that's what he likes the most! Xia Mo thought.
"Okay." Knowing that the little brother was speaking up for him, Ling Chuan was pleased and felt warm in his heart.
At the same time, I also think that the bad-hearted little brother is very cute and attractive, like a cunning bad fox, and I want to rub his head...
"But then again, since the eldest prince knows that the third prince's mother had an affair with a eunuch, have they never doubted the third prince's background? Could it be that the third prince was born prematurely? Does he look a lot like his mother?"
Xia Mo asked questions one after another, but the man next to him glanced at his long hair tied up high without leaving a trace. Knowing that he could not do as he wished, he suppressed the itch.
He said, "It's quite similar, but I don't know if it looks like the eunuch. However, it doesn't look like that one, but who would believe it? Without evidence, it is a serious crime to slander concubines and defame the royal bloodline."
"That's true." Xia Mo rubbed his chin with his fingertips and nodded slightly.
"Everyone knows that eunuchs cannot pass on their family line. It is really risky to use this as an excuse to make a fuss. It is easy to shoot yourself in the foot."
The eunuch was dead, and his body had long since rotted into mud in the mass grave. Even if they wanted to use blood to identify their relationship, they would have to obtain the old emperor's blood, and they couldn't do it secretly, not to mention that this method of verifying blood ties was not reliable.
Tsk, this feeling is quite subtle, just like witnessing a real palace fight.
Although he understood it, apart from wanting to take revenge on those who bullied his brother Chuan, Xia Mo did not want to get involved. He did not think that the two of them could turn the tide.
Of course, he would be happy to just watch the fire from the other side of the river and cheer for them silently.
"Forget it, let's not talk about them. No matter how they fight to the death, as long as the fire doesn't burn us, everything will be fine." After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something and suddenly frowned.
Seeing this, Ling Chuan asked, "What's wrong?"
Xia Mo replied: "Why don't we go into the city tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" Ling Chuan raised his eyes slightly.
"Well, since the sugar factory has already made things clear with the village chief, and Yingying and Manager Hong both want to see us, why don't we settle the matter tomorrow and then set off the day after tomorrow."
Shopkeeper Hong might have come to them just to buy maltose. If that was the case, they would definitely not be able to do this business, but if both parties were willing, he could recommend Sister Yingying and the others.
In this way, even if something happens at the sugar factory, the village chief can step in besides Brother Gong and at the same time take the opportunity to train them.
The second one is Sister Yingying. Gu Wenlang's matter is probably a hurdle that may not be easily overcome.
But it’s different if you have something to do. You can focus your energy on work and use it to distract yourself. You won’t have time to think about random things, and you can still make money.
As for Yingying, they will go to his place tomorrow, so he doesn't have to run back and forth.
Furthermore, if Manager Hong really has business, they would feel more at ease knowing he is secretly looking after them.
Of course, the above were all his guesses, and it didn't matter even if he guessed wrong. Anyway, his goal was to get things clear and set off as soon as possible.
He was afraid of Jin Xuhua and felt from the bottom of his heart that only by meeting Zhao Xier could he get the answer he wanted.
Ling Chuan knew very well what the young man's attitude was towards getting rid of Zhao Xier, so he gave him conditions.
But now it seems that the young man is a little impatient. Ling Chuan is happy but still asks the reason.
"Why are you so anxious all of a sudden?"
Xia Mo took a sip of tea and calmed down before explaining the reason: "Because of Jin Xuhua."
"Him?" Ling Chuan's eyes darkened. He didn't expect that it was this person who made the young man change his attitude.
Liu Qiuwu mentioned this person in the letter, but if the young man hadn't mentioned it again now, he wouldn't have taken this person to heart.
"Yes, it's him." Xia Mo raised his head and looked at the man who instantly pressed his lips into a straight line, and said frankly: "He gives me a weird feeling, Brother Chuan, have you ever met him?"
Speaking of Jin Xuhua, Xia Mo felt very uncomfortable. He would become subconsciously tense and even alert.
"Jin Xuhua..." Ling Chuan murmured with narrowed eyes, and finally found a corresponding shadow in that dark memory.
"We've met a few times, but not much contact. In my impression, he always seemed to have a faint smile on his face." Ling Chuan described according to his memory.
Smiling tiger? Xia Mo thought.
"Mo'er, why are you asking about him suddenly? Is there something wrong with him?"
With the previous example of Zhao Xier, Ling Chuan couldn't just sit there and do nothing if there was any disturbance.
Xia Mo smiled helplessly and shook his head slightly, "I can't really explain it... But he is already on the side of the eldest prince. No matter what, he and I are destined to be different people."
Ling Chuan's eyes narrowed, and he responded solemnly, "That's right."
In fact, ever since he accidentally heard about Qiao Wenjin and his son's affair last time, he had suspected whether they were also involved in his frame-up. Was it the same as that incident, repeating the same method, just waiting for the right time to win him over?
When he thought of this possibility, Ling Chuan's eyes turned cold and dark.
"Let's go to the city early tomorrow, so as not to miss Yingying."
The worse the old emperor's condition became, the more he would try every possible means to cure his illness, and the more he could not let that woman return to Beijing.
The danger she poses is much greater than those princes, not to mention that there is also Jin Xuhua now!
"Okay." Xia Mo said this before he noticed that the room was starting to get dark, so he looked out the window and discovered that the night was about to swallow up the last rays of sunlight.
"It's getting dark after just chatting for a while. Let's go boil some water and cook. Don't you want to eat crayfish? Let Kong Kong get some out now and clean them thoroughly."
Xia Mo drank the last few sips of the scented tea, then stood up and collected the bowl.
Seeing that it was indeed getting late, Ling Chuan also stood up and said, "Let me clean the lobsters, and you wash the melon seedlings and stir-fry some pickled bamboo shoots. It's a cold night now, so soak the bottom of the bowl with cold water, and you can still eat it tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Xia Mo had no objection. Since they were in a hurry, it would be best to finish all the trivial matters within one day tomorrow.
