"You look so angry, could it be that I hit the nail on the head? Are you really moved?"

Ling Mo looked at him provocatively. Even though she was enduring the pain in her hand, she did not back down. Her eyes were full of stubbornness.

Finally, he coldly loosened his hand, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night, leaving only the words "You're sick!" echoing in the air.

Ling Mo looked back at his departing figure and muttered to herself, "What a weird guy!"

She rubbed her aching chin, secretly blaming him for his strong grip.

Back in the room, Ling Mohui leaned lazily on the chaise longue, enjoying the rare tranquility.

Now that I have gotten rid of Fu Yansheng's entanglement, at least I can sleep peacefully tonight.

Seeing this, Mo Hua stepped forward with a worried look on his face and asked, "Miss, what happened to your chin? Why is it so red and swollen?"

Ling Mohui's heart moved, and she remembered what happened to Zhang Xiyue. Although Zou Boyuan sometimes made mistakes, he was a principled man and was unlikely to commit rape.

There must be some unknown secret in this!

"Mo Hua!" she called out suddenly.

"Miss, I'm here." Mo Hua replied quickly.

Ling Mohui leaned close to Mo Hua's ear and whispered a plan.

After listening to this, Mo Hua smiled softly and responded, "I understand. I will definitely get it done for you."

Two days later, the entire capital was shrouded in a rumor that Ling Mohui set a trap because she was jealous of her husband's cousin.

Ling Mohui sat in the courtyard with a cold smile on her face, listening to Mo Hua's report on the outside world's reaction, "Miss, how could that cousin not even care about her reputation? Is she crazy?"

Mo Hua's tone was full of confusion and anger, but Ling Mohui already had the answer in her heart. Everything was going according to plan.

Ling Mohui's fingers moved lightly among the flowers, carefully trimming every extra branch, her eyes focused and calm.

The sunlight shines through the window and falls on her peaceful face.

She slowly opened her lips and said calmly, "She risked her own reputation to force Fu Yansheng to accept her as his concubine!"

After saying this, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, as if she was mocking the infatuation and calculation in this world.

The reason why Zhang Xiyue could be so unscrupulous was fundamentally due to Fu Yansheng's repeated indulgence.

Ling Mohui did not have much objection to taking a concubine, but when it came to right and wrong, she would never allow herself to become an innocent victim and bear the blame that did not belong to her.

Turning to Fu Yansheng's quiet and solemn study, the atmosphere was completely different from the tranquility of the outside world.

Zhang walked in with a sad face, followed by Guo who also had a worried look on her face, and Zhang Xiyue who had tears in her eyes.

"Yan Sheng, there are rumors everywhere now. Your cousin's reputation is related to the family's reputation. Otherwise... you should accept her. Your life will remain the same in the future. Your cousin is usually docile and obedient, and she will definitely not cause you any trouble."

There was a hint of pleading in Guo's voice, and a faint glimmer of hope in her eyes.

Zhang sighed, her brows heavy as lead. "I really don't know which wicked person made up such a scandalous rumor. Isn't this obviously trying to push the Fu family to the forefront? How much hatred must there be!"

Mrs. Guo gnashed her teeth, her eyes almost spurting out anger: "Who else could it be other than Ling Mohui? She is hoping that Xiyue will be ruined so that she can reap the benefits!"

Zhang quickly waved her hand to stop them, her tone somewhat protective: "Sister-in-law, please don't speculate. Mo Hui is not such a scheming person. Besides, such rumors are also harmful to herself. How could she do such a thing that would only hurt herself?"

At this time, Fu Yansheng was sitting in the middle of the study, holding an ancient book in his hand, looking calm, as if all the troubles in the outside world were isolated from him.

Facing Zhang's urging, he gently turned the pages of the book, his voice as calm as an ancient well: "Don't worry, mother, there will always be a way to solve the problem, take your time."

"Yan Sheng, how can I not be anxious? Listen to what people are saying about you outside!"

Zhang's words revealed an anxiety that was difficult to conceal.

Fu Yansheng naturally understood in his mind that in the past two days alone, impeachment memorials from the imperial censors had been pouring in like snowflakes. If the emperor had not intervened, this storm of public opinion would have gotten out of control long ago.

Just as everyone was talking, Ling Mo walked back into the study. Her appearance was like a breeze, filling the air with a subtle sense of tension.

Fu Yansheng frowned slightly, with a hint of surprise in his tone: "Why are you here?"

Ling Mo looked back with a firm gaze and spoke sharply: "How can I just sit there and watch someone throw dirty water at me for no reason?"

Then, she calmly sat down next to Zhang and told the maid beside her: "Mo Hua, show them the evidence."

Mo Hua quickly handed over a list, and Ling Mohui gently unfolded it and placed it in front of Zhang.

"This is..." Zhang looked at the paper in front of her, her eyes full of confusion.

Ling Mohui explained slowly, "This is the list of medicinal materials that Zhang Xiyue bought from various pharmacies when she went to the Mountain Resort. In the past two days, I asked Mo Hua to visit every pharmacy in the capital, and it took a lot of effort to collect all the information. If you don't believe me, you can check each one."

After that, she handed the list to Fu Yansheng. After Fu Yansheng finished reading it, he turned his sharp eyes to Zhang Xiyue: "What are you going to use these drugs for?"

Zhang Xiyue's face was as pale as paper, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito: "I bought it because I was not feeling well."

"Oh? Is that really the case? Do you need to take drugs with hallucinogenic effects just because you're feeling unwell?"

Ling Mohui smiled, but it was full of sarcasm.

Zhang Xiyue hurriedly shook her head to deny it, tears streaming down her face: "No! I didn't! You are wronging me!"

"I expected you to say that."

As soon as Ling Mohui finished speaking, footsteps were heard outside the door, and Doctor Li walked into the room. Ling Mohui immediately said in a deep voice: "Please ask Doctor Li to identify the real effects of the drugs on the list."

Li Yunfei slowly pulled out the yellowed list from his sleeve, his eyes deep: "I have been practicing medicine for decades, and have tasted hundreds of herbs. After observing the medicinal properties of this, I have confirmed that it is correct. This kind of rare thing is undoubtedly a top-notch aphrodisiac."

Hearing this, Guo's body staggered, as if he had suffered a heavy blow, his eyes full of shock and disbelief.

She pointed at Zhang Xiyue with a shaking hand, her voice almost breaking: "How is it possible! How could you have..."

Zhang Xiyue's eyes were like the night sky covered by dark clouds, full of resentment and unwillingness. She stared at Ling Mo and replied, "I didn't. I really didn't think it would turn out like this... I... This was definitely not my intention. Everything is a misunderstanding!"

It was originally a carefully planned layout, with the purpose of putting Zou Boyuan in an awkward situation, but he didn't expect that it would become his own nightmare in the end.

She saw with her own eyes Zou Boyuan walking towards Ling Mohui's room, but as fate would have it, he unexpectedly appeared in her own room in the end.

At that moment, Zou Boyuan was drugged and lost all his rationality, with only fanaticism and impulse in his eyes.
