The regent walks with wind after his wedding

Chapter 281 The truth...

Mrs. Mo felt that she had hinted clearly enough, but Mo Li looked blank and puzzled: "Boiled bird's nest? Can bird's nest be eaten?

There are a lot of bird's nests on the trees in my hometown, but no one pays attention to it. I didn't expect the people in the capital to like to eat this! "

Mo Changhai couldn't help laughing, but Mrs. Mo frowned.If she hadn't known that Mo Li grew up in the mountains and had never seen the world, she would almost have thought that Mo Li was pretending to be stupid.

Lu Xinlian looked down on Mo Li, and said with a haughty and superior look: "You think the bird's nest is a nest built by swallows? Fortunately, it's in the mansion. If an outsider hears about it, I don't know how to laugh my ass off.

Bird's nest is a good nourishing product, but it is very expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it. "

Mo Li responded dully: "Oh!"

Mrs. Mo didn't listen to what she said, no matter whether she really didn't understand or pretended not to understand, she said directly: "Mo Li, I heard that you made a net profit of 9000 taels today, shouldn't you take out a few thousand taels? Subsidize the government?
Your father was demoted and dismissed from salary, and you are also responsible. "

Mo Li opened her innocent and dazed eyes, and said in astonishment: "I made a net profit of 9000 taels?"

She spread out her hands, which were empty: "The mansion didn't give me a tael of silver, where did I get the money?

Grandma is referring to the betting. The 1000 taels of silver that bet belonged to Prince Beiyue. He asked me to buy a gift and said that he would bring it to the emperor of Beiyue Kingdom, so he put the 1000 taels with me for the time being.

I wanted to bet at that time, but I had no money, so I just bet on his 1000 taels.Naturally, the money earned should belong to him! "

The hearts of the people in Mo's house were so congested that they couldn't even breathe freely.

Mrs. Mo's face darkened immediately: "A total of 1 taels of silver, did you give it all to him?"

Mo Li nodded innocently: "Yes, it's not my money."

Lu Xinlian gritted her teeth and said, "How is it possible? With so much money, there is no one who is not greedy and tempted. You must keep a few thousand taels.

Besides, even if you didn't stay, how could Prince Beiyue not give you a few thousand taels to thank you?
Where did you hide the money? "

Mo Li's eyes were reddened with grievance: "I like silver, but Aunt Huan said that you can't take ill-gotten gains, and you can't take half of silver that doesn't belong to you. This is the principle of life.

That's not my money at all, how can I keep it privately?
The prince of Beiyue said that he was very grateful to me when he first ascended the position of prince and spent a lot of money, so he invited me to visit Beiyue country. "

Mrs. Mo stared at her with poisonous eyes for a while, then turned to Mo Changhai and said, "Master, do you believe it?"

Mo Changhai looked at Mo Li probingly: "How did you meet Prince Beiyue?"

"I met a few lost people in the mountains last year, and one of them was injured. I brought them out of the mountain, but I didn't know at that time that he was Prince Beiyue."

Mo Changhai and Mrs. Mo stared at her gloomyly, as if they wanted to stare her into a hole.

Mo Li seemed to be frightened, flinched, and said with red eyes: "If you don't believe me, you can go to the Li Hotel and ask him, why did I lie to you?
Then tell me, how did I know Prince Beiyue as a person who lives in the deep mountains? "

Mrs. Mo said angrily: "I don't care how you know Prince Beiyue, the 9000 taels of silver are obviously yours, you have to go and get it back!"

Mo Li pinched the corner of her clothes, looked like she was about to cry, lowered her head and muttered, "Aunt Huan said, you can't take things that don't belong to you. How can I ask for other people's money..."

Mrs. Mo slapped her hand on the table: "Although the principal of your bet belongs to him, the net profit is yours. How did it become someone else's money?

Go ask for it, or come back, you don't want to come back! "

Mo Li's tears fell down, and she looked at Mo Changhai pitifully: "Father..."

Mo Changhai was very irritable: "Listen to your grandmother, go and ask for it. You have done him a favor by bringing Prince Beiyue and his party out of the mountain.

If you don't place a bet, you won't have the 9000 taels of silver, so if you ask for it, he will definitely give it to you. "

9000 taels, Mo Changhai's heart thumped, 9000 taels was a huge amount for the Mo family, and he couldn't earn so much in his entire life as an official. Why did this fool give it away?
Lu Xinlian yelled: "Why are you crying? You still have the nerve to cry? I didn't hear the old lady say, if the money doesn't come back, don't come back either!"

Mo Li wiped away her tears, turned around and ran out.

Mrs. Mo looked at the direction she was running, and her clogged heart finally cleared up a little bit: "Master, this Mo Li is full of lies, do you believe her words?

She had to keep at least 9000 taels of the 5000 taels of silver. She must have wanted to embezzle it privately, and she didn't know where to hide it. "

Mo Changhai frowned, half-believing: "Maybe... it was indeed all given to the prince, right?"

"Master, man dies for money, and bird dies for food. There is no one who does not love money!"

Mo Changhai didn't argue anymore, but he didn't think so in his heart.He loves money, but he has really seen people who donate money.Back then, there were countless students who received financial support from Mo Yuqing. As a native of Nancang, Mo Yuqing was willing to support him even as a native of Eastern Tang.

Perhaps, there is really a part of Mo Yuqing's wealth in Mo Li's blood...

*
Mo Li came out from the front door of Mo Mansion, intending to go around to the back door and pick up Aunt Huan and others to live there.

Now that she already knew the real cause of her mother's death, and decided to set off to Yi'an City in a few days to find clues about her father, there was no need to live in the Mo Mansion anymore.

But just as she reached the corner, a luxurious carriage stopped in front of her, and the curtain was lifted, revealing the face of Prince Nan Cangxiao: "Miss Mo, stay a step!"

Mo Li stopped in her tracks, covering up her doubts, and watched Prince Xiao get out of the car calmly.

From the moment Prince Xiao placed his bet, she was suspicious.There must be some reason why an unknown prince from a foreign country placed a bet on her who was the least favored for no reason.

When Prince Xiao got off the car, Mo Li blessed him: "My lord!"

Prince Xiao looked at her kindly, with a little excitement in his expression, as if seeing an old friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time, which made Mo Li even more surprised.

"Miss Mo, is your maid named Xiuhuan?"

Mo Li replied calmly: "Yes, I don't know why the prince asked such a question?" A foreign prince asked the name of a little maid...

The prince of filial piety was faintly excited: "Can Miss Mo bring me to meet Xiuhuan? The reason, when I see her, Miss Mo will know."

Mo Li's heart beat fast, and Prince Guan Xiao's expression clearly knew Aunt Huan.Reminiscent of what the second shopkeeper of the Mo family said, her mother is from Nancang, and Prince Xiao is also from Nancang...

The truth seems to be about to surface!
Mo Li suppressed the excitement in her heart, and replied, "Okay, please follow me."
