The little princess' mind was read, and the court and harem were eating melons

After a brief silence, Li Qingyi learned that the melon cost 200 energy points, so he gritted his teeth and bought it.

Then, Li Qingyi heard the system say a message in a daze: [Wow, this Mo Chenglian is not a child of the Mo family, he is a child of the Chen family! ]

Li Qingyi: It really is a familiar taste. It’s another story about a real and fake child.

[Back then, the Mo family relied on the fact that they were one of the heroes who helped Taizu conquer the world, and acted recklessly, which eventually angered the emperor. General Mo and his eldest son were punished according to the law, while the other relatives of the Mo family were spared because their merits and demerits were offset against each other.]

[At that time, Mo Chenglian's adoptive mother, General Mo's eldest daughter-in-law, thought that the emperor would deal with their entire family, so she was desperate and exchanged her son with her friend's son, hoping that the friend's child would die in place of her son.]

[Unexpectedly, the emperor did not kill the newborn baby, but only dealt with the culprit, General Mo, and the eldest son. As for the eldest daughter-in-law, she survived as a female relative.]

Li Qingyi: [Is she still alive now? ]

System: [She is alive and well, but the other members of the Mo family think that the Mo family is in such a state of decline because of General Mo and her husband, so they don’t treat her very well.]

[But they don’t have to worry about food and clothing. After all, although the Mo family has not made much progress in the past ten years, they were one of the people who followed Taizu and others to conquer the world. They still have old friends. It’s just that General Mo was dealt with by the emperor himself. During the emperor’s reign, unless the Mo family made great contributions, others would not help them at the risk of offending the emperor.]

[But the Mo family... uh, they don't have much money. They weren't a family of nobles. They rely on personal qualifications to cultivate talents. It just so happens that they don't have any qualifications at the moment, so success depends entirely on luck. The only one who is doing relatively well is Mo Chenglian.]

Li Qingyi: [Since she didn’t die, she didn’t exchange the child back? ]

Before the system could answer, Li Qingyi thought of something and said, [The Chen family is the hero mentioned in the title, right? Their family is doing very well now? ]

System: [Yes, the highest-ranking official in the Chen family is the old man, who retired a few years ago and was the left prime minister. Even after retirement, his political capital is still there.]

Li Qingyi: [Oh, then this adoptive mother probably thinks that her child can only live a good life in the Chen family, so she just goes with the flow.]

System: [Yes, and because the child was exchanged with the handkerchief friend, although the Mo family was in trouble, as long as the emperor did not continue to pursue the guilt of other members of the Mo family, the adoptive mother could occasionally visit the handkerchief friend and learn about the situation of her child from the handkerchief friend to comfort herself.]

Li Qingyi: [How does she treat Mo Chenglian? ]

System: [Let me see... Hmm, not bad? No abuse? But from time to time, they would instill some information into Mo Chenglian, such as you are the pillar of the Mo family, the Mo family will depend on you in the future; you must strive to be good, and don't let others look down on us; mother has done so much, all for you, you must not let mother down, etc.]

Li Qingyi: [I understand. Letting your own son live a good life in other families, and raising other people's sons to be used as tools.]

System: [That’s about it. ]

Li Qingyi: [Then this Mo Chenglian is still somewhat pitiful. ]

System: [Right, right, what a poor child. ]

Li Qingyi: [But this is not the reason for him to plot against my eighth sister. ]

System: […Yeah, that’s right.]

Li Qingyi: [If he wasn't plotting against my eighth sister, but was truly in love with her, then after changing his identity, maybe I would help to bring them together. But he didn't. ]

Li Qingyi: [His life was replaced. It wasn't my eighth sister who did it, nor was it Concubine Shu who did it, nor was it my father who did it. It was all done by his adoptive mother. Why should our family bear the responsibility? ]

There were people quietly following along to watch the show, and some who originally felt some sympathy for Mo Chenglian because of his life experience, when they heard this, they suddenly understood.

Yes, Mo Chenglian was miserable, but it was not the Eighth Princess or her parents who caused this. It was Madam Mo herself who had evil intentions and swapped someone else's child. This was the result!

No matter how you calculate it, this can't be blamed on the Eighth Princess!

Li Qingyi continued: [Moreover, if he really wants to change his family status through marriage, there are so many noble ladies in the capital. Compared with the Eighth Princess, other noble ladies may be easier to marry. Why did he come specifically for the Eighth Sister? ]

[Is there a possibility that he actually has a grudge against my father, so he deliberately came to harm my father's daughter? ]

Everyone was shocked.

You know what, this is really possible!

The system also felt that what the host said made sense, but the system could not directly spy on people's hearts, so he could only say: [Yes, but Mo Chenglian's thoughts are very deep. He has not told anyone about the Eighth Princess, not even his adoptive mother, so what exactly he is thinking, maybe no one knows except himself. ]

Li Qingyi: [I have to stop my eighth sister. ]

Li Qingyi: [By the way, how about the other party? ]

System: [The other party involved is the second son of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family, Chen Zhihuai. Let me take a look...hiss, Mo Chenglian has a very good relationship with Chen Zhihuai. Mo Chenglian was able to become a palace guard with his current status, and it was Chen Zhihuai who helped him.]

Li Qingyi: […6.]

System: [However, Chen Zhihuai has a good personality, a good reputation, and good relationships with people. Oh, he and the prince can be considered brothers in the same sect, and the two have a good relationship.]

Li Qingyi held his breath for a long time before finally saying: [With such a friend here, if Mo Chenglian really wants to change his family, is it difficult to do good deeds in a righteous way? ]

China has been a society based on human relationships since ancient times. Even in modern times, human relationships are an unavoidable link.

Although Mo Chenglian is the descendant of a criminal, the emperor has no intention of pursuing the matter to the end. Seeing that he can still work as a palace guard, it is clear that the impact of General Mo's incident has basically dissipated. In this case, as long as Mo Chenglian is capable, even if some officials dare not use him for safety reasons, he is not completely without a chance.

Mo Chenglian was just trying to take a shortcut, and most likely he had some personal grudges behind him, dragging an innocent girl into the water.

Li Qingyi: [No, I can't let my eighth sister continue to be deceived. ]

System: [Come on, host! ]

Li Qingyi thought about it and found that she could only look for her biological mother.

Li Qingyi: Ah, at times like this I just want to grow up quickly.

She quickened her pace, and the others followed suit silently.

When they arrived at the gate of Kunning Palace, Li Qingyi suddenly thought of something and said, "Speaking of which, isn't it a bit too coincidental that there were two incidents of real and fake children in a row?"

System: [Is there?]

Li Qingyi said silently: [It’s a bit too much nonsense. ]
