Chapter 47
It can be said that Yuge's words were not straightforward, and the words "digging the wall" were almost written on his face.

How could Mo Luo not understand what Yu Ge meant? It's just that she now has a solid foundation in the Zhou family army, and Zhou's arrogance has never meant anything to her, but Hua Sanniang and Mr. Chen have a life-saving friendship and life-saving grace for her.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that after the Zhou Ang incident, if she is still crazy, the outcome of Duke Zhou's mansion must be clear.

At this time, clinging to this place and not wanting to leave is asking for death.

When their own future destiny and friendship with others really collide, everyone will choose the former.

Mo Luo is no exception, but she can't leave rashly. Even with Yuge in front of her, Zhou Guogong has no scruples when he goes crazy at the end of his life. Even if you don't die, you have to peel off your skin.

Mo Luo had extra worries in his heart, and that was the reason why Zhou Ang went crazy.

No one knew that she was responsible for Zhou Ang's madness, and Mo Luo would not choose to take the initiative to publicize such things.

It has always been her characteristic to do good deeds without leaving a name.

So Mo Luo took a sip of the wine in the bowl and said:
"Young Lord Yu's words are justified, but I can't just turn around and leave when Duke Zhou's mansion is defeated. If I really are such a person, then Young Lord Yu must not trust such a person who betrays the Lord and seeks glory."

Although Mo Luo doesn't talk much, when she needs to speak, she can express clearly in a sentence or two.

Mo Luo and Yuge only met once, and she can't completely trust Yuge. It is dangerous to simply hand over her future to someone she doesn't trust.

What she said was telling Yu Ge that she could go there, but she couldn't go there immediately.

A smart person like Yu Ge immediately understood the meaning of Mo Luo's words, so he laughed and said:
"As the saying goes, people go to high places, and water flows to low places. It is understandable for this person to pursue a future that is more beneficial to him. I, Yuge, never feel that this is a traitor seeking glory. You will feel that others abandon him because that person is heartless and ungrateful, but how do you define the word love in this world?"

Gulu Gulu Yuge drank another bowl of wine, filled it up and then said:

"I have seen people who are full of benevolence and morality abandon their wives and children, and betray their brothers; I have also seen people who are not good at words die in battle for their relatives and friends."

"Things in this world and people in this world are never black and white. Today you and I are enemies, but tomorrow we can be the same enemy. If you want, the future is naturally in your own hands."

Yuge's left hand was empty, but she clenched the emptiness tightly, as if something was really in her palm.

Mo Luo looked at Yuge's firm and confident appearance and nodded. What she said was very reasonable, and she understood it more thoroughly than those who were immersed in the officialdom who were full of benevolence, righteousness, and etiquette.

"The etiquette, rules, benevolence, righteousness and morality in this world are all tools to restrain people. Only the most practical things - ability and power, are the most practical."

Yu Ge was stunned for a moment, looked at Mo Luo's determined expression and firm words, looked at Mo Luo in surprise, and then laughed.

She had a hearty smile, perhaps because she had been at the frontier for a long time with a wild beauty and a hearty flavor.

"I didn't expect that there are people in this world who understand as much as you do. Others are nothing more than keeping secrets about this matter, or pretending to be ignorant with their understanding, and just passing through this life."

Yu Ge's hand patted Mo Luo's shoulder hard, feeling the tight muscles on her shoulder and neck, and said with a smile:

"You must have put in a lot of effort to become as strong as you are now."

Yu Ge had already clearly investigated Wan Mo Luo when she came. She never fought an unprepared battle, nor did she deliberately hide that she had investigated the opponent.

Mo Luo stretched out his other hand to grab Yuge's arm that was on his shoulder, and the two of them separated after a few strokes between their hands.

"Young Master Yu, I'm trying my best. I just want to survive in this man-eating place; to have my own place in this world with distinct classes; to have my own in this secular world with many rules. free."

"free."

There was a wry smile on Yuge's face, she knew the three things Mo Luo said - alive, status, and freedom.

Each one is more difficult than the next. Even for her, as the young marquis of the majestic Jade State Duke's Palace, her freedom is still in the hands of the emperor. When she comes or goes, she only needs an imperial decree to take over or not to take over as the Duke of Yu State. The position is only the will of the people above.

How had she ever been free?
"When you have a powerful position, freedom will become even more out of reach. The situation is compelling and you have to follow."

Yuge's brisk voice was now slightly bitter, and even the wine in his stomach became sour.

Seeing that Yu Ge's mood suddenly dropped, Mo Luo just picked up the wine jar on the side and poured wine for her, and then said:

"Responsibility is the real mountain to bear. There are things and people you can't let go of in your heart, and missions that must be completed are all your responsibilities."

Yu Ge looked at Mo Luo and smiled. They both saw bitterness on each other's faces. One was running to stay alive, while the other was staying in the vortex of power for responsibility.

At this moment, the two of them reached a consensus tacitly, which seemed to be a feeling of mutual understanding.

"At last night's banquet, Ruan Qingliu had already interceded for Nangong Rong. I believe Nangong Tou will return to the palace soon and officially appear to resume his status as the prince."

Mo Luo nodded, already prepared for this. Yu Ge glanced at the silent Mo Luo and then said:

"Nangong Tou may not be easy to provoke, but a man can't talk in this world. He is just relying on the Queen and the Princess, so there is no need to worry about anything."

But after all, he is the male protagonist in the story of wearing books, Mo Luo thought to himself, but there was no way to say it directly.

She has too many secrets, even if she meets people like Du Liufang and Yuge who are close to her, she can't confide in her heart and tell everything.

The world is hard, and people are even harder.

The two of them had a drink each with their own thoughts, until late at night, when the restaurant closed, they helped each other stagger out of the restaurant.

Today's wine party was quite happy, and the two of them had not known each other before. Before leaving, Yu Ge handed a jade pendant to Mo Luo:

"If you come out of Duke Zhou's Mansion in the future and come to me, the people of Duke Jade's Mansion will bring you to me as soon as they see this jade pendant!"

Mo Luo put away the jade pendant, looked at Yuge's staggering leaving figure, and knew that even though she looked alone, there was always an invisible hidden guard behind her to protect her.

Completely different from Zhou Ang, Yuge is a really powerful and capable person, perhaps because her years of frontier life have given her a broad vision, but she is bold and cautious.

Mo Luo stood at the place where the two were separated for a long time without moving. Thinking about Yuge's previous behaviors, he only felt that these dandies in the capital city headed by Zhou Ang and Wei An would be in danger if they met such a master. In terms of official position, or in terms of life safety.

It's just useless to think about it now, Mo Luo shook his head, and wandered back to the house to rest.

In the next few days, until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Zhou family army where Mo Luo was located joined the search as expected.

It's just that Zhou Guogong was obviously out of temper this time, and he didn't take anyone's feelings into consideration at all. The search that took less than half a month after Yuan's Day made the people mourn.

Even though Hua Sanniang intentionally controlled the search of everyone, the rash search on this day of family reunion still caused dissatisfaction among many people.

Even later, someone started fighting with people from Zhou Guogong's mansion.

Zhou Guogong's fanfare operation quickly alarmed Her Majesty the Empress, and on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, she issued a strong order to confine Zhou Guogong at home.

Mo Luo knew that the Queen's order seemed to punish Zhou Guogong, but it was actually protecting Zhou Guogong's safety.

If she goes out now, she is simply causing hatred. She might as well just stay at home and not go anywhere.

And Mo Luo still has one important thing to do tomorrow—that is, Mr. Chen will be back soon.

Too many things happened during this period, and Mo Luo didn't have time to take care of Mr. Chen. Taking advantage of her free time, she first went to the forest hut outside the city.

The place was empty now, even the big yellow dog had been taken away by Mr. Chen. Mo Luo did not ask Mr. Chen where he was going and what he was doing. Now he just tidied up the inside and outside of the house, waiting for Mr. Chen to come back tomorrow.

On the Lantern Festival on the 15th of the first lunar month, the city was very lively. Mara also had heavy patrol tasks today. When these festivals come, both the army in the palace and the guards in the officials' palaces must be very energetic.

Several government offices are in charge of several main roads in the capital city, and they have to patrol these streets in batches.

The last time Mara patrolled was during the Yuanri Festival.

Today's Lantern Festival is the last day of the curfew. After today, there will be another curfew in Kyoto.

There were especially many people who came out on the last day. Mo Luo left Zhou Guogong's mansion after patrolling a group of guards, and returned to the house.

She was not interested in the bustle of people on the street. She had already memorized the Iron Fan Sutra by heart and was waiting for Mr. Chen to come back and teach her.

But when they reached the gate of the house, they saw a few men standing there, wearing white caps.

After Mo Luo walked in, he realized that the three people were none other than Qiao Runzhi, Ji Chen and Dan'er.

"Why are you here?"

"Master wife!"

Jichen was still as excited as ever after not seeing Mo Luo for a long time. He rushed forward a few steps and threw himself into Mo Luo's arms.Qiao Runzhi and Dan'er took a few steps forward, but it was Qiao Runzhi who spoke first:
"Today is the Lantern Festival, and my wife has not come to see us recently. Today is the day of reunion, so we will come over and prepare some food to share with you."

"Yes, my wife, do you know that I asked Brother Xicai to lure my brother away with great difficulty, and then I sneaked out secretly with Brother Runzhi and Brother Dan'er!"

Ji Chen looked at Mo Luo with a pair of big eyes moistly, and seemed to have thousands of grievances to say:
"Why did the wife master put us there and never come again? I thought the wife master didn't want us anymore. My brother has been grabbing me to read my homework these days, and I don't have time to sneak out to find the wife master."

Mo Luo helplessly wiped Ji Chen's head to express comfort, and the four of them entered the room. Qiao Runzhi placed the prepared meals on the table and prepared to use chopsticks.

Only then did Mara ask:
"How are you doing during this time?"

Ji Chen nodded and said seriously:
"Very good wife, you don't know that Sister Ruan's house has a lot of delicious food and fun, Sister Ruan is also very nice, she often comes to talk to us, especially my brother likes Sister Ruan, they chat for a long time Mmmmm."

At this moment, Dan'er kicked Ji Chen under the table, Ji Chen grunted in pain, and then heard Dan'er say:

"Eating can't stop your mouth."

"It's okay Dan'er, as long as Miss Ruan treats you well."

Jichen also realized that something was wrong with what he just said, so he looked at Mo Luo anxiously and said:

"Wife master, you and I don't mean that. Although Sister Ruan is very kind to us, I still like wife master the most!"

Mo Luo just nodded seriously to show that he understood, but in fact he did not take Ji Chen's words to heart.

Qiao Runzhi glanced around and saw that the objects around him were no different from when they left, so he said to Mo Luo:

"Nothing has changed here at all. You should remember to buy some supplies when you are at home alone, and don't treat yourself too harshly."

The treatment in Ruan Qingliu's mansion is obviously very good. Mo Luo knew it from the first sight of Ji Chen. He has grown a little longer now and is almost as tall as Mo Luo. He is also wearing better clothes than before. Much better.

But Dan'er and Qiao Runzhi were still wearing their previous clothes. Mo Luo saw it and wondered if it was Ruan Qingliu who preferred Jichen more.

Or Ruan Qingliu prepared clothes for everyone, but Qiao Runzhi and Dan'er didn't wear them.

As for whether they didn't wear new clothes from beginning to end or whether they didn't wear them just to see her, Mara didn't look into it at all.

"How is Wang Yi doing lately?"

Listening to Ji Chen and Dan'er talking to each other between the dinner tables, Mo Luo suddenly thought of Wang Yi, the man who looked enchanting but felt sad in the evening before leaving.

"Wang Yi was picked up by people in the palace."

Qiao Runzhi put down his chopsticks and said seriously:
"Just yesterday, it seemed that Nangong Tou requested it. The people in the palace seemed to be respectful to Wang Yi."

"Half a month has passed since Nangong Tou left. After being away for such a long time, he must have adapted to the palace during this period, and gained the trust of Her Majesty the Queen in order to take his personal servant back."

After listening to Mara's words, Dan'er sighed and said:

"Yeah, it's been so long. I wonder when my wife will let us come back?"

In fact, Qiao Runzhi and Ji Chen also wanted to ask this question. At this time, they couldn't help but stop their chopsticks and stare at Mo Luo.
