Princess Liyang didn't want to give it to Wen Qingcheng. She originally wanted to show off her wealth by showing off these rare treasures to everyone. This stringless harp couldn't be bought even with money. Almost no one in Daqi had seen it. So she said she would give it to whoever could play it. Who knew that Wen Qingcheng, a country girl, could play it, and play it so well. But the words had been said, and so many people were listening. If she regretted it, wouldn't it make her look petty and without any credibility? Even if she was reluctant, she had to give it to Wen Qingcheng. But Wen Qingcheng would definitely be humble in a while, and then...

Princess Liyang was thinking that Wen Qingcheng would definitely refuse the position in a while, but Wen Qingcheng thanked her with a look of joy on her face, and Princess Liyang almost couldn't hold back her smile.

At the banquet that followed, everyone enjoyed singing and dancing while toasting each other. After Wen Qingcheng showed off her skills, everyone became curious about her and came around to talk to her.

When the banquet was over, Princess Liyang sent people to send the guests out one by one. Wen Qingcheng took Zhu Ling, Yingge, and the piano with her, and the servants of the villa helped Wen Qingcheng carry them.

Jin Jiarou and a group of maids also got off the boat and went ashore. They were walking in a bamboo forest and saw Wen Qingcheng smugly directing the servants to carry out the stringless harp. Jin Jiarou was so angry that she wanted to smash the harp.

Just when Jin Jiarou was angry, she saw a handsome young man walking in from the main gate of the villa. Jin Jiarou immediately stopped where she was and looked at him without hesitation. Wasn't the man in front of her the Prince of Qin whom she met on the street last year, the current First-Rank General Mo Jinghong?

She had heard of his name in her boudoir, but all the news was negative. She thought he was a dandy boy. It was not until last year that she saw him riding majestically on a horse with a group of people on the street. She could not forget him. Later, when she saw him domineeringly protecting the lowly female doctor in the Yongyi Marquis's mansion, she made up her mind that she would marry this man. In terms of family background, talent and appearance, she was confident that he was far better than Wen Qingcheng. If he knew her feelings, he would definitely rush to their Duke's mansion to propose marriage.

Jin Jiarou deliberately walked quickly to a place not far in front of Mo Jinghong, trying to greet him. Mo Jinghong looked around for Wen Qingcheng's figure, and saw a tall, fair-skinned girl looking at him from a distance, twisting her handkerchief with both hands, her cheeks flushed, not knowing whether she was shy or excited.

Mo Jinghong just glanced at her coldly and walked away, his eyes continuing to search for the figure of his little girl, and finally found his Cheng'er among the crowd of girls.

Mo Jinghong immediately smiled and spoke to her tenderly and affectionately. Jin Jiarou saw Mo Jinghong passing by her without even looking at her, but went to find that lowly female doctor. She saw it clearly from a distance just now. It turned out that he could smile, but not at her. That lowly female doctor turned into a daughter of a marquis. How could she get his love?

Wen Qingcheng had seen Mo Jinghong a long time ago. He was only wearing an ordinary black and gold brocade robe with tight sleeves today. As soon as he appeared, countless ladies secretly looked at him. Wen Qingcheng walked up to him and whispered teasingly, "General Mo, you are handsome and majestic. You are very popular with girls."

Mo Jinghong had a smile in his eyes. How could he not hear the jealousy in Wen Qingcheng's words? He said in a very good mood: "There are three thousand rivers, but I only take one scoop."

Wen Qingcheng was very satisfied with this answer, and happily walked towards the main entrance of the villa with Mo Jinghong, one in front and one behind.

Yingge and Zhuling were behind to direct the servants of the villa to find a carriage to transport the piano. Mo Jinghong turned around and saw the piano wrapped tightly in red velvet, and asked curiously, "What is this? Why did you bring something back?"

Yingge smiled and said, "This is a rare treasure given to you by Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Mo Jinghong raised his eyebrows and looked at Wen Qingcheng: "What rare treasure?"

"The piano."

"piano?"

"The princess said it's called a stringless harp."

"A stringless harp? Isn't this a Western thing? How could she be so generous as to give you this?" Mo Jinghong asked in surprise.

Wen Qingcheng told Mo Jinghong what happened at the banquet today, and Mo Jinghong looked at Wen Qingcheng in shock. "You can also play the stringless harp? Why didn't I know this before?"

"There's a lot you don't know." Wen Qingcheng was afraid that he would reveal the truth if he asked too much, so she blinked, smiled playfully, turned around and walked out happily.

Mo Jinghong showed a beautiful smile on his face. The prince was right. His city was really mysterious. It seemed to be an endless treasure. Who knows what surprise it will bring to you next.

Mo Jinghong took Wen Qingcheng home, and the piano was delivered shortly afterwards. Mo Jinghong asked the servant who delivered the piano to stop at an intersection and asked several shadow guards to help transport the piano back to Wen Qingcheng's house.

As soon as she entered the house, Wen Qingcheng put away the piano and was just thinking about sharing it with Ye Xiuying and the others when she saw Bai Wei walk in with a pale face, "Girls, you're back."

"Bai Wei, what's wrong with you? You don't look well. Where's mom?"

"My wife is resting in the house."

Wen Qingcheng was a little puzzled. It was past lunchtime. Was Ye Xiuying feeling unwell? Just when Wen Qingcheng wanted to go and see, Cang Lu came in and clasped his fists towards Mo Jinghong and Wen Qingcheng and said, "Prince, Miss Wen, the Madam was assassinated this morning."

"What!" Wen Qingcheng was shocked and asked hurriedly, "Is my mother injured?"

"He's not injured, just frightened. The young master has been brought back and they're all in the room," said Cang Lu.

Mo Jinghong's face turned cold and he asked, "Have you caught the person?" Mo Jinghong knew that Princess Pingning would not let Ye Xiuying go easily, but she had not found any evidence to hold her accountable, so he had already made secret arrangements. There were several shadow guards secretly protecting the house, just to protect Ye Xiuying and the others and catch the assassin.

"We caught two and two ran away. The rest of the dead ones have been dealt with." said the heron.

"Take me to see it." Mo Jinghong said.

"I'll go too." Wen Qingcheng said.

"Don't go, go see your aunt and Zicheng." Mo Jinghong was going to interrogate the assassin, so he would definitely use some means. He didn't want his little girl to see those dark sides.

Wen Qingcheng was indeed very worried about Ye Xiuying, so she handed her over to Mo Jinghong for interrogation, and she went to Ye Xiuying's room with Bai Wei and Zhu Ling.

Wen Qingcheng knocked on the door and Ye Xiuying had already gotten up from the bed, still looking a little frightened. "Mom, it's okay. I've heard that Brother Mo has sent a lot of secret guards to protect us near our house."

Ye Xiuying held Wen Qingcheng's hand, and the mother and daughter sat on the bed. Zicheng and Xueer were also on the bed. Ye Xiuying talked about what happened this morning.
