Marrying a Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the

She quickly tried to make amends, "Back then, I was disrespectful and didn't know how to respect others. I hope City Lord Mo won't blame me. Now that you're in such a high position, how can I still be so outspoken?"

Mo Lingyue interrupted without hesitation: "Xiaoruan, I'm not in a high position. In my eyes, you are the kindest and most lovely girl. I don't want you to be estranged from me!"

Lin Xiaoruan was suddenly startled by his burning gaze. She quickly turned around and said, "I'm a little sleepy. I'll go back and take a nap first!"

Mo Lingyue didn't want to endure the torture alone anymore, and he didn't allow her to escape.

He quickly grabbed her wrist and said anxiously: "Xiaoruan, don't hide from me, I want to make things clear with you. I came to the capital this time to ask your sister for marriage. I want to marry you and become the wife of the Lord of Jingcheng!"

Before Lin Xiaoruan could say anything, there was a loud thud at the door.

She subconsciously turned around and saw Tang Mingxuan, who was pale, falling to the ground.

She quickly stepped forward and helped him up: "Mr. Tang, how did you get up? You must not disturb the wound, otherwise it will leave sequelae!"

Tang Mingxuan said with a broken expression: "I woke up and couldn't see you, so I was very worried, so I came out to look for you. Have I disturbed you and City Lord Mo for a long time?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he met Mo Lingyue's sharp eyes.

He shrugged his shoulders and apologized subconsciously: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I'll go back now!"

Lin Xiaoruan quickly said: "You don't need to apologize, we've already talked about it!"

After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Mo Lingyue: "Lord Mo, thank you for your kindness, but I rely on my elder sister very much, and I don't want to be too far away from her!"

Mo Lingyue's expression suddenly changed. He didn't expect Lin Xiaoruan to refuse so bluntly.

He felt wronged!

He came all the way here to escort her back to Beijing, why didn't she even consider it?

But in the blink of an eye, he could no longer see Lin Xiaoruan and Tang Mingxuan.

His pupils contracted violently, and he felt that he needed to talk to Tang Mingxuan.

Lin Xiaoruan had something on her mind, so she lost all desire to sleep.

She checked Tang Mingxuan's wound again and confirmed that it was not cracked, then she breathed a sigh of relief.

Tang Mingxuan said with some guilt: "Miss Xiaoruan, I shouldn't have come to you without permission. The look I gave City Lord Mo just now was very scary!"

Lin Xiaoruan comforted her: "He's not targeting you. Just take good care of your injuries and stop overthinking!"

There was a flash of intense struggle in Tang Mingxuan's eyes, but after a moment, he clenched his teeth tightly.

When the day broke, he developed a high fever.

Lin Xiaoruan was extremely worried. He definitely couldn't continue on his journey in this state.

She had no choice but to discuss with Mo Lingyue: "City Lord Mo, we can no longer accompany you to the capital. I want to take Young Master Tang to stay in a nearby inn for a few days until he is well again!"

Xing Xuexue had wanted to separate from them for a long time. She didn't want to see Mo Lingyue always keeping his eyes on her.

So she immediately agreed: "Since Miss Xiaoruan has already brought it up, let's go first? Cousin, you still have to report on your work, so there is no time to delay!"

Mo Lingyue naturally wouldn't agree. Even if he was rejected, he wouldn't give up.

He frowned and said, "I have received orders from the Marquis's wife to escort you and Brother Tang back to the capital. How can I abandon you halfway? If I do that, what kind of person would I be?"

Xing Xuexue immediately spoke anxiously: "But cousin, what should I and mother do? Don't you think about us?"

Mo Lingyue said in a deep voice, "You and your aunt should return to Beijing first. I will use half of my manpower to protect you!"

Xing Xuexue's eyes suddenly turned red with grievance. She didn't want to be separated from her cousin.

Madam Xing saw through her thoughts and sighed helplessly, "Ayue, if we return to the capital alone, I'm afraid it will cause Madam Hou to misunderstand. What do you think?"

Mo Lingyue reacted instantly and said guiltily, "Aunt, I was inconsiderate. Why don't you all come with me to the town and find an inn to stay in? It's very close to the capital and very lively here!"

Mrs. Xing finally smiled and said, "Okay!"

When everyone arrived in the town, they first found an inn to stay in.

Xing Xuexue was extremely dissatisfied. She started throwing things around as soon as she entered the room. "Is this shabby inn suitable for human habitation? Even the cleanest clothes would get covered in dust if they were put in a place like this. It's disgusting!"

Madam Xing covered her nose with a handkerchief and said, "Why don't you just let the maids clean it up? Why are you so angry?"

Xing Xuexue gritted her teeth and interrupted, "Mother, my cousin is really going too far. It's obvious that she has no feelings for him at all, but he still insists on being obsessed with her. He even followed her to this shabby town and stayed at an inn. How stupid is he?"

Madam Xing curled her lips and teased Xing Xuexue in a low voice, "Why? Can't you bear to see your cousin being wronged?"

Xing Xuexue frowned and explained: "No, I just think he shouldn't be so humble!"

Madam Xing put on her makeup in front of the mirror and said absentmindedly, "You're also stupid. The more obstacles he encounters, the deeper you can enter his heart. Don't you understand such a simple truth?"

Xing Xuexue bit her lip hard, but ultimately remained silent.

Mo Lingyue looked at Lin Xiaoruan, whose eyes were already red from staying up late, and said, "Let me take care of him. His fever has subsided now, so you don't need to stay by his side!"

Lin Xiaoruan was also extremely tired. She hadn't rested well in the first place, and her eyelids were almost stuck together.

She nodded: "Okay, wait for an incense stick of time to pass before feeding him a bowl of medicine. We can't let the high fever come back again!"

Mo Lingyue responded: "I understand!"

Lin Xiaoruan walked out of the room, and suddenly only Mo Lingyue and Tang Mingxuan were left in the room.

He was silent for a moment, then reached out and took the handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat from Tang Mingxuan's forehead and said, "You are so lucky. You captured Miss Xiaoruan's heart before me!"

Perhaps because he was a little too strong, Tang Mingxuan's brows were tightly furrowed.

He subconsciously opened his eyes and asked with a puzzled look: "City Master Mo, why is it you? Where is Miss Xiaoruan?"

Mo Lingyue immediately spoke up, "Tang Mingxuan, did you do this on purpose?"

He was stunned for a moment, and then he asked cautiously, "What's wrong? Why did City Lord Mo say that?"

Mo Lingyue's face immediately darkened, and he felt more and more that Tang Mingxuan was playing dumb.

He couldn't help but sneer: "Stop pretending. Every time I talk to Miss Xiaoruan, you always try to get in the way. I never thought you could be so scheming!"

Tang Mingxuan argued anxiously: "City Lord Mo, you misunderstood. I don't have such thoughts at all. I, I will help you explain to Xiaoruan, okay?"

Hearing his words, Mo Lingyue's expression became more solemn and ugly.

He immediately stopped her: "Don't act like that. If Xiaoruan sees this, she'll think I bullied you, and she'll only hate me even more!"
