The three brothers and sisters of Mo Xia were always unwelcome in Rong'an Hall.When they came to the yard, there was not even a big maid to greet them, but a few third-class maids who couldn't enter the house led the way and opened the curtain.

Even though she was used to it, there was still a trace of sadness in Mo Siyun's eyes.

Mo Xia sensed Mo Siyun's emotions, and calmly tightened his little hands.

When Mo Xia entered the room, he saw Mo Sizhen and Mo Yunchao leaning on the old lady's side.

Mo Yunchao looked at Mo Xia complacently, with unconcealed gloating in his eyes.

Mo Xia understood, lowered his eyes and saluted respectfully.

Mo Qing followed Mo Xia, seeing that Mo Sizhen and Mo Yunchao hadn't got up, frowned imperceptibly.But he didn't say much, he bent down along with Mo Ya.

Mo Yunchao tugged at the old lady's sleeves, puffed out her chubby cheeks, and pretended to look at the old lady with aggrieved eyes.

The old lady patted his hand reassuringly, then turned to look at Mo Ya, her benevolent brows and eyes instantly became somewhat displeased: "Mo Xia, you know your mistake."

Mo Xia lowered his head, as if he couldn't understand what the old lady was saying: "Grandmother, what's wrong with my grandson? I hope grandma will make it clear."

Mo Yunchao came to Rong'an Hall early, just to add fuel to the old lady.Now the old lady is clearly supporting him, and she is full of confidence: "Second brother, do you still want to put on a show in front of grandma? Did you forget what you said to me and elder brother in the carriage today."

Mo Xia suddenly realized: "Third Brother originally meant this matter."

Then Mo Xia quickly bowed to the old lady, very sincerely: "Grandmother knows, today my grandson reprimanded my third brother, but there is a reason for it. I hope grandma will listen to her grandson before making a decision."

It's true that the old lady doesn't like Mo Xia, and it's also true that she usually favors Mo Yunchao.

It can be seen that Mo Xia has a sincere and sincere appearance, and he also thinks that Mo Xia has always been respectful, filial and fraternal, and he often gives way to Mo Yunyang and Mo Yunchao brothers in the mansion.

Flicking the prayer beads in her hand, the old lady felt a little bit concerned: "As an older brother, it is your fault for beating up your younger brother. You can tell me what other reasons you have for me to forgive your sins."

Beat up the younger brother...

Mo Ya could hardly hold back her eyes.

However, in front of the old lady, he is still very well-behaved, his words and deeds are as if engraved, which makes people feel relieved: "Grandmother, in the carriage today, the fourth brother and grandson were arguing.It is also conniving and lenient, without saying a word. But the fourth brother is relentless, and the words actually involve Empress Duanming."

When Mo Ya said this, he deliberately paused.

Looking up at the old lady's expression slightly changed, she lowered her head to hide the smile in her eyes, and continued to speak clearly, "Everyone knows that His Majesty loves Empress Chongduanming, and never allows others to insult her. Half a year ago, HuMr. Zhao, a member of the Ministry, lost his temper after drinking, and said that the noble concubine Qiong, the empress, and the empress Zhuang were more stable and more serious than the empress Duanming. His majesty ransacked her home and exiled her under the pretext of insulting her predecessors. The fourth brother is unrestrained and innocent, and the grandson is really worried about the fourth brotherIn the future, the misfortune will come from the mouth and harm the Mansion of Ming Xianghou, so he reprimanded him. As for the beating—"

Mo Xia looked at the blue brick under his knees, his lips and eyes slightly curled up, neither denying nor admitting, but what he said seemed to be very annoyed at his recklessness: "I was also worried about my fourth brother's failure in the future, so I persuaded him in the name of my brother. FourBrother, if there is anything wrong with the second brother today, the second brother is here to apologize to you. We are a family, and everything will be prosperous in the long run. Don't hurt the harmony between us brothers because of a little thing."

Mo Yunchao was so dazed by Mo Ya's words that he didn't bother to refute Mo Ya, he just remembered that he slandered himself and insulted Empress Duanming: "Second brother, don't talk nonsense here, when did I mention Duan Ming today?Empress Ming? It's clear that you are turning black and white here."

Mo Xia looked back at Mo Yunchao fearlessly: "Fourth brother, everyone in the palace knows that I was injured because of protecting His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince. Thanks to the blessing of the empress, I was safe and sound. You mocked me on the carriage for having many woundsIf you don’t recover in the day, isn’t it just mocking the empress for her own selfishness and not wanting to bless the people behind her? If His Majesty knows that the fourth brother thinks so, Mingxianghou’s mansion will be in danger.”

While talking, Mo Ya looked at Mo Yunchao bitterly, and after a while, he sighed again, lowered his head and said in frustration, "Grandmother, it's my grandson's fault. The fourth brother really didn't mention Duanming.Empress, it's my grandson who is too cautious, and I ask my grandmother to punish me."

Hehe, you can add oil and vinegar, and I can speak big and small.

I don't even look at what the old lady cares about most in her life.

Surviving in the cracks of the Hou Mansion for so long, playing with my mind, you are still a little tender.

Seeing Mo Xia's innocent and unpretentious expression, Mo Yunchao was almost dizzy with anger.After jumping off the bed, he wanted to chase after Mo Xia, but someone grabbed his sleeve.

Mo Yun looked back, but saw Mo Sizhen staring at him with dark eyes, shaking his head slightly at an angle that the old lady could not see.

Mo Yunchao had always been a little apprehensive about his younger sister, seeing Mo Sizhen like this, even though he was still dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't dare to make any further moves.

It is true that the old lady loves Mo Yunchao, but she values her own glory and wealth more.Seeing that Mo Xia did not deny the beating of Mo Yunchao, but instead admitted his mistake with a guilty face, the balance in his heart was tilted a little.

Thinking of the fate of the Zhao family's overthrow overnight, I couldn't help but feel chills in my heart. Looking at Mo Yunchao, his expression was filled with blame: "Chao'er, your second brother did a good job this time, how could we be able to mention Empress Duanming at will?"Timely. You are accompanying His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince in the palace, so you should be more cautious in your words and deeds, and don't want to bring trouble to the Houfu."

Mo Yunchao was very wronged and wanted to defend himself.

Mo Sizhen quickly pressed Mo Yunchao's hand, and said first: "Grandmother, the fourth brother is indeed a bit sloppy. He was the one who didn't know how to measure today, and he was taught by the second brother. He must be repenting now, and he will be guilty in the future."Will always remember."

"Grandmother is highly respected, and supported my father to guard our illustrious family business in the Marquis of Mingxiang. The most meritorious service. According to the granddaughter, the fourth brother still has to come to grandma often, accept her teachings, and change his temperament. I only hope that grandmaIt’s just not disgusting.”

Mo Xia listened to Mo Sizhen's understatement, so he brushed off the matter, and won for Mo Yunchao one more reason to come to Rong'an Hall often, knowing that today's confrontation with Mo Yunchao could only end here.

With a sigh, he bowed down.

Listening to Mo Sizhen's clear and crisp voice, and wearing her high hat so comfortably, the old lady had already forgotten the accident just now, and clapped Mo Yunchao's hand, "Okay, okay. A Zhaori futureYou often come to grandma, and grandma will ask you to prepare your favorite cakes. You will not wrong us Ah Chao."

A confrontation was easily resolved by Mo Xia and Mo Sizhen.

The old lady seemed to have just seen the three of Mo Xia still kneeling on the ground, and said casually: "Get up."

After finishing speaking, he continued to hold Mo Yunchao and talk to Mo Sizhen, and the faint dissatisfaction with Mo Yunchao that had just arisen in his heart disappeared in Mo Sizhen's sweet and greasy coquettishness.

During a family banquet, Mo Xia ate like he was sitting on pins and needles, like a glow on his back.

After coaxing Mo Siyun to sleep, when Mo Xia dragged his tired body back to Cangshan Pavilion, it was already past Haishi.

Mo Qing followed Mo Ya into the back room, looked at Mo Ya's mentally and physically exhausted appearance, and thought of Ming Xianghou's unabashed admiration for Mo Yunyang and Mo Yunchao and his dismissive disregard for Mo Ya at the evening dinner table, resentment in his heartNanping: "Second brother, father has passed the time today. You are the eldest son born by your mother. No matter who is in the mansion, your status cannot surpass you. Even the eldest brother and the fourth younger brother are also descended from the direct descendant. Their mother is on the same level as your mother.Concubine ceremony should also be held in front of you, and you should not mess up the status. But today, the father actually asked the eldest brother to preside over the family sacrifice next month on the grounds that he is the eldest son. Where does this put you and where does it put the mother?"

When Mo Qing mentioned this incident, his eyes turned red with anger, obviously he had deep resentment towards Marquis Mingxiang.

Mo Xia was indifferent: "Ah Qing, do you really think that father would do this kind of spine-poking thing without someone's instruction?"

Mo Qing looked at Mo Ya, a little puzzled: "What does Second Brother mean by that?"

Mo Xia patted Mo Qing on the head, feeling a little sorry for his younger brother's talent: "Ah Qing, you are not in the palace, so I can't imagine how deeply entrenched the influence of Concubine Qiong's family is now in the harem. The Cui family is in full swing, the courtiers all think that the eldest prince will be the future..."

Mo Xia paused when he said this, gave Mo Qing a look that you understand, and continued: "Feng's mother's family is related to the Cui family, our father has obviously suppressed the entire Mingxianghou MansionOn the prince. It’s just that the elder brother’s identity is not enough in the company of the eldest prince’s original spouse and his sons. The purpose of letting the elder brother preside over the sacrificial ceremony is to give the elder brother his status, and also to take the opportunity to humiliate the fifth prince through me.”

"It's just that it's really unpleasant to say this matter. If the uncles in the family agree to not say it, one will be criticized by the literati and scholars of Hongjun Academy if you are not careful. Now that my father has made up his mind, it is obvious that he has obtained the instruction of Concubine Qiong."

Mo Han looked at the dark sky outside the window, and sneered: "If my guess is correct, the day when eldest brother presides over the sacrificial ceremony is the time when Concubine Qiong truly brings Mingxianghou's mansion into the eldest prince's camp."

It is also the beginning of the destruction of the nine clans of the Ming Xianghou Mansion in the original book.

After hearing this, Mo Qing became even more anxious: "Second Brother, you are the companion of His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, if Father really decides to side with the First Prince, your life will be even more difficult."

Mo Xia laughed out loud, and couldn't help shaking Mo Qing's little face: "Ah Qing, why are you so cute? You went to the doctor in a hurry, so your mind is also confused?"

Mo Qing frowned: "Erguo, don't pinch your forehead."

Mo Xia let go of his hands, rubbed Mo Qing's face, and said, "From the moment my father decided to send the elder brother and the fourth younger brother to the palace to be accompanied by His Highness the First Prince and the Seventh Prince, our Mo family has already been in the camp of Concubine Qiong.Zongji is just a reassurance for both parties, so that our relationship with the Cui family will be closer. As for me now being the companion of His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, it is not important to my father. After all, in his heart, I'm just an abandoned child."

Mo Xia stretched his waist: "But my father doesn't take me seriously, but it doesn't mean that I'm a clay figurine at his disposal. If this is true, what status will my mother have in the clan in the future?How can Siyun hold her head up in the mansion?"

Mo Qing was very frustrated at first, thinking that there was no room for maneuver in this matter.But seeing Mo Xia's confident appearance, his eyes lit up again: "Second brother, do you have any good ideas?"

Mo Xia picked up the book on the table and tapped Mo Qing on the head: "You don't need to ask about this right now. What you need to do now is to take out the book, paper and pen, and listen carefully to my lecture. You can't enterGong became an accompanying student, and being unclear about the situation in the DPRK and China is your biggest disadvantage now. Otherwise, with your talent, how can the elder brother and the fourth younger brother beat you?"

As he said that, Mo Xia stuffed a pen into Mo Qing's hand: "So come on, write down on paper all the officials in the court that you think belong to the Cui family. Don't say you don't know, I just analyzed it for you last time.passed."

Seeing Mo Qing leaning over the desk writing earnestly, Mo Xia couldn't help but think of Lu Chenzhang again.

I don't know what His Highness is doing at this moment?
