After the divorce, I wanted to give up, but the Prime Minister took me into his arms in the street
Chapter 16 Spring Festival Banquet
Mo Qi was confused, stopped what he was doing, and asked puzzledly: "Miss, is there something wrong with this medicine?"
Ling Mo glanced at her and said unhappily, "If you want me to live a few more years, then quickly remove these and don't let me see them."
After hearing this, Mo Qi didn't dare to ask any more questions. He quickly called the maids and moved all these priceless medicinal herbs to the warehouse.
Seeing this, Mo Hua gently reminded: "Miss, the son-in-law is still outside, why don't you invite him in to sit down?"
Ling Mohui heard this, her eyelids trembled slightly, and she said sarcastically: "It's not enough to just send one away, you want to recruit another one? You two are really my caring little maids."
Moqi and Mohua smiled at each other and nodded in understanding.
Mo Qi gently advised: "The girl seems to be in a bad mood, let's not disturb her."
Mo Hua also nodded in agreement, and the two of them turned around and went out to continue dealing with the mountains of gifts.
As Bailingxuan's door quietly closed behind him, a barely perceptible irritation flashed across Fu Yansheng's eyes.
He leaned against the bamboo forest, tapping the folding fan in his hand with his fingers, feeling mixed emotions.
He knew that his presence at this moment was undoubtedly rubbing salt into Ling Mohui's wounds, but he could not suppress the concern for her in his heart.
At this time, the butler came hurriedly, holding a gold-stamped invitation in his hand, and respectfully reported: "Sir, in a few days, Master Yuan will hold a spring banquet in Yueshan. This is your invitation."
Fu Yansheng took the invitation and thought for a moment, "Give it to Mo Yi."
Mo Yi is his trusted guard, so it is most appropriate for him to handle matters like this.
Uncle Li handed the invitation to Mo Yi, but did not leave. Instead, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Madam asked me to remind you that this Spring Outing Banquet might be a good opportunity to arrange a marriage for Miss Cousin."
When the matter of arranging a marriage for Zhang Xiyue was mentioned, Fu Yansheng suddenly remembered.
He pondered for a moment, his eyes flickering, "Then bring Miss Cousin along."
Mo Yi reminded in a low voice: "Sir, you only planned to bring Miss Biao with you on this trip, but did not consider the young lady. Given the young lady's temperament, I'm afraid she will stir up a storm after learning about this."
When Fu Yansheng heard the voice, a barely perceptible trace of tiredness flashed across his brows.
He recalled the pair of eyes that Ling Mohui had looked at him with not long ago, which were piercing and resolute.
He responded calmly: "Don't worry too much, I will handle how she reacts."
For the next two days, Ling Mohui stayed in her mansion to recuperate, away from the hustle and bustle of the world, enjoying the rare peace.
Zhang Xiyue, who was usually arrogant and domineering, seemed to have restrained himself after his misbehavior at the last banquet.
Ling Mohui felt relieved, and with careful nursing, her wounds healed quite quickly.
In the afternoon, she leaned lazily on the rattan chair in the courtyard, dispelling the gloom brought by her illness.
At this time, the doorman came hurriedly and reported respectfully: "Miss, Miss Yuan from the Earl's Mansion is here to visit."
Ling Mohui was stunned when she heard this, and thought to herself: Although the original owner and Yuan Fangfang were not enemies, they were not close either. Why did she suddenly visit today?
While thinking, Ling Mohui raised a faint smile and said softly: "Please ask her to come in. I also want to go out for some fresh air."
In the main room, Yuan Fangfang had already taken her seat leisurely, holding a teacup lightly in her hand, her demeanor revealing the elegant temperament of a noble lady.
Ling Mohui walked in slowly, looking directly at Yuan Fangfang, "Miss Yuan, why did you condescend to come and visit me in person today?"
Yuan Fangfang put down the teacup, her eyes showing sincere concern: "Ling Mohui, have your injuries improved? I specially brought you some nourishing things, I hope they will help you."
Ling Mohui bowed slightly and thanked her politely: "Miss Yuan, I am very grateful for your concern. However, besides giving gifts and visiting the patient, do you have any other important matters to discuss with me today?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Fangfang revealed a sly and playful smile, "Actually, there is a spring outing banquet at Yueshan today. I heard that you are an outstanding card player, so I specially came to invite you to go with me. Xianghe Pai San is short of one player, and we need a master like you to help us out!"
Ling Mohui was slightly surprised, but was then amused by Yuan Fangfang's frankness. She laughed heartily and said, "So you only came to me to play a game of peace cards. I thought it was some big deal!"
Yuan Fangfang blinked her lively eyes and said frankly, "In life, besides eating, drinking and having fun, what else can make people happier than this? You must have been feeling very depressed in the mansion these past two days. Why don't you take this opportunity to go out and relax?"
Ling Mo thought about it and felt that this was indeed a good way to relieve her sorrow, so she nodded and agreed: "Okay, let's go together!"
The carriage rumbled along and arrived at the foot of Yue Mountain.
As Ling Mohui stepped down from the carriage, she heard Yuan Fangfang's cheerful voice: "Those scholars like to play wine-drinking games and compose poems. I know nothing about them, so I don't want to be a laughing stock for them!"
After listening to Ling Mo, she asked with interest: "Your brother is here too? So, Fu Yansheng is here too?"
Yuan Fangfang nodded as a matter of course: "Yes, you are husband and wife, how come you didn't know that he was also invited?"
Ling Mohui sighed softly, her eyes passed over the crowd and fell on Fu Yansheng and Zhang Xiyue beside the bamboo forest.
Yuan Fangfang noticed her gaze and immediately pulled Ling Mo back into the forest: "Brother, look who I brought here!"
Yuan Jiacheng turned around when he heard the voice and saw Ling Mohui. His expression changed subtly and he did not forget to steal a glance at Fu Yansheng out of the corner of his eye.
He greeted her awkwardly: "Oh, it's Mrs. Fu, nice to meet you."
Ling Mo walked forward slowly, forcing a smile, but her eyes were as cold as ice, shooting straight at Fu Yansheng: "If I had known that you were here, I would not have come."
As soon as these words were spoken, the air around them froze instantly. Even Yuan Fangfang, who was usually carefree, felt the depressing and tense atmosphere.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiyue knew that it was not appropriate to start a dispute at this time, so she hurriedly stepped forward to mediate: "Sister-in-law, don't be angry with your cousin. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have taken your place."
This girl seemed to be testing her importance in Fu Yansheng's heart in various ways all the time.
Facing Zhang Xiyue's actions, Ling Mohui just smiled softly, "It's okay. Even if my husband can't take care of me, I can still come here by myself."
Hearing this, Fu Yansheng's eyes dimmed slightly, "Your injury hasn't healed yet, you shouldn't go out to get some fresh air."
After hearing this, Ling Mohui raised the corners of her mouth, and the curve was just right, neither impolite nor a little playful.
She turned to Yuan Fangfang and said gently, "Miss Yuan, let's continue playing our game."
"Brother, Mo and I will go back to the woods to play cards." Yuan Fangfang suggested.
Yuan Jiacheng nodded in agreement, and at the same time reminded: "Winning or losing is a small matter, don't hurt everyone's feelings."
As he spoke, he glanced gently at everyone, making sure everyone understood his good intentions.
Yuan Fangfang agreed readily. She grabbed Ling Mohui's wrist, and the two of them walked towards the bamboo house in the forest hand in hand, like a pair of close sisters.
