"I heard it! Several times I got up late at night to use the bathroom... and heard them in the room... hmm hmm hmm!"

  Before Mo Qi finished speaking, Mo Wei Yu suddenly rushed over at a rapid speed.

  He then covered her mouth with one hand and lifted her up like a chicken, dragging her to the nearby bushes for a stern lecture.

  Behind the trees.

  Two people stood face to face, staring at each other with wide eyes... one standing and the other squatting.

  "Not seven."

  Mo Wei Yu's expression was serious, and he slowly called out Mo Qi's name, one word at a time.

  Mo Qi's face was innocent, still with that cute and adorable expression.

  "I'm here!"

  Mo Wei Yu reached out and pinched her cheek, not allowing her to sell cute and disrupt his criticism and education.

  "Mom used to teach you that way, right? You can eat messily, but you can't talk nonsense... do you know?! Those words you just said, don't ever mention them again, not to anyone... forget all about it, got it?!"

  Mo Qi's face was twisted in confusion, with a look of incomprehension.

  "But I'm not talking nonsense... everything I said is true, you really were in the room with Huo Da Shi..."

  Knowing Mo Qi's pure and stubborn nature, Mo Wei Yu covered her mouth with one hand and lowered his head in frustration.

  "I'm begging you......is it still not enough?"

  Mo Qi nodded, her sparkling eyes full of innocence.

  "You're up early!"

  Mo Wei Yu: *silence*

  How did I suddenly feel... this girl is quite black-bellied?

  He looked up and glanced at Mo Wei's bright red face, and Mo Qi couldn't help but add another blow.

  "Mommy, your face is now... red like a big shrimp."

  Biu pinched Mo Qi's lips shut, and Mo Wei Yu glared at him with a fierce expression.

  "From now on... for the next ten minutes... you're not allowed to speak!"

  Mo Qi: "......" But what did I do wrong again?

  Patted the red and swollen cheek, waited until the temperature of the face cooled down, Mo Wei Yu then held Mo Qi's hand and walked back... At this time, Pei Zi Xiu had already left, leaving only Ho Bei Chen and his son Ho Bing Quan standing there in silence.

  Seeing Mo Qi return, Huo Bei Chen's eyes lit up immediately and ran towards them.

  "Qī bǎo, you're back...... I found a really fun place yesterday, I'll take you there to play!"

  "Great! Great!"

  He watched the two guys run far away before taking a step to walk beside Mo Wei Yu, raising an eyebrow to look her up and down.

  A look with profound implications.

  Mo Wei Yu was stared at by him and felt a bit flustered, involuntarily taking two steps back and subconsciously turning her face away.

  "Why are you looking at me like that?"

  "How...?" Huo Tingchen slightly curled up the corners of his mouth, seemingly smiling yet not quite, "You still have unfinished feelings for that guy?"

  "What's wrong with you."

  "Why did you just rush to stop Qi Bao and not let her finish what she was saying?"

  Mo Wei's face flushed slightly, and a few strands of red appeared on her cheeks.

  "That kind of thing... wasn't supposed to be known by others, and... coming from a child's mouth, does it sound right? It's all your fault..."

  One side was burning, thinking that the culprit was the man in front of her, Mo Wei Yu couldn't help but raise her hand and slap him twice... Huo Ting Chen grasped her hand and pulled her into his arms, saying softly.

  "What's wrong with me? Is it because I didn't practice with you in bed?... Looks like tomorrow's practice, I'll have to wear a mask for you..."

  Mo Wei Yu heard this and pushed him away, half coquettishly and half angrily hurrying to leave.

  "Hmph! I'm not practicing anymore."

  Watching the woman storm off, Huo Tingquan hooked up the corner of his mouth, and a faint smile spread across his lips... A pair of deep, dark eyes, with an increasingly profound and mysterious glint at the bottom that seemed to have no end.

  …

  Busy preparations, time always flies by quickly!

  Although this palace seemed very calm on the surface, just like every ordinary day, without a ripple.

  But Mo Wei Yu's mind was clear, she just needed to get through the next banquet... until everything fell into place, she could temporarily put her mind at ease and truly take her position as the mistress of the Gong Palace!

  To prevent any unexpected accidents that might harm Mo Qi and Huo Bei Chen, Mo Wei Yu found an excuse to send them to Feng Ji Ran's place a day in advance... Because previously Mo Qi also liked to go find Feng Zhi Yan to play, it wouldn't arouse any suspicion.

  However, as the sky gradually darkened, Mo Wei Yu stood in front of the window... her heart was somewhat tense!

  At some point, the hand tightly grasping the railing suddenly warmed up, and she saw Huo Tingchen walking to her back, raising his hand to grasp the back of her hand.

  Right after that, a low and magnetic male voice sounded softly in her ear.

  "Don't be afraid, I'm here... No one can take your things away."

  "Uh-huh."

  Mo Wei Yu nodded slightly and leaned back into the man's solid embrace.

  Two people stood on the balcony, gazing out at the scenery... The sunset slowly sank behind the mountains, casting a layer of crimson clouds across the sky, dyeing half the sky red. The light reflected from the clouds illuminated their faces, and even their pale skin took on a hint of crimson.

  Time flows quietly, so quiet and peaceful.

  But in the midst of it all... a sense of turmoil and unease was brewing, like the calm before a storm.

  Not long after, I saw a string of cars driving over from afar. The cars were all very low-key, not flashy like those owned by the nouveau riche, nor were they as gaudy as those driven by the spoiled sons of wealthy families... but the people sitting in the cars, with power grasped firmly in their hands, were all formidable figures who inspired awe!

  It was Mo Yuanyin's birthday last time, and this time... it just so happens to be Old Master Gong's birthday banquet!

  Originally, due to physical reasons, Master Gong did not plan to hold a grand ceremony.

  Now he can't even attend in person.

  But in order not to disappoint his elderly parents' high hopes, and to preserve the entire Gong family from being manipulated by some conspirators with ulterior motives, they could only choose to invite relatives and friends who were close to the old master on this special day.

  After a period of calmness, Gong Ming had recovered his usual composure and indifference.

  He weaved through the numerous guests, just like every other time he hosted a banquet, presiding over the scene with precision, leaving no room for flaws!

  Guessing it was about time, Mo Wei Yu pushed open the door of the room where Palace Old Master was in and said softly.

  "Grandpa, almost all the guests have arrived... let's go down!"

  "Uh-huh."

  The old master nodded, and after some dressing up and makeup, under the dim light, at first glance... Pei Zixu really portrayed the old master vividly, to the point of being indistinguishable from the real one.

  Seeing this, Mo Wei's heart slightly calmed down, and he stepped forward to push his wheelchair, walking out step by step.

  Arrived at the main hall.

  Before Mo Wei Yu even reached the living room, she clearly felt that countless gazes, some open and some hidden, had turned towards her!
