Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce

The pain from jumping off the carriage just now, mixed with the wound from his elbow hitting the ground, made Mu Zhou's eyes brimming with tears as he looked at Song Wenchao from afar.

"Your Highness, please save me."

She seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, and the fear and the sense of surviving a disaster on her face were just right. Tears instantly flowed from her eyes and fell to the ground in big drops.

Seeing this, the guard Shu Ting beside Song Wenchao introduced in a low voice:

"Sir, this is the cousin who eloped."

Although this cousin has been in the Prince Qi's Mansion for nearly two years, Shu Ting knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not concerned about such trivial matters in the mansion, so it was normal that he did not know the cousin, so he thought of introducing her.

Song Wenchao looked down at Mu Zhou with a cold expression:

"save you?"

"Please, Your Highness, save me. I was almost kidnapped and taken out of the city by thieves. Fortunately, I jumped off the carriage in time and escaped."

"Oh, is it so."

Song Wenchao didn't say whether he believed it or not, he just raised his eyebrows and asked someone to take her back home.

*

In the Prince of Qi's Mansion, the first and second wives were already sitting in the main seats in the front hall, looking like they were having a trial.

The atmosphere in the room was serious.

They already knew that Mu Zhou was not on the carriage that the prince stopped at the city gate.

Everyone had different expressions at this time.

The second wife was unwilling and angry, and was annoyed that the plan would most likely fail.

The eldest lady was puzzled and worried. She was originally furious when she heard that the cousin who was staying in the mansion had eloped, but when she heard that there was no one in the carriage, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

You're just a little girl, I hope nothing happens to you.

Before I could hear the news that someone had been sent out to look for him, a servant came and said:

"Madam, the prince is back."

"Chao'er is back?"

The eldest lady's face lit up with joy.

Song Wenchao went to Lingzhou to control the flood and had not returned home for two months.

The eldest lady knew that he was very busy with official duties, and she thought that upon returning to Beijing he would have to go to the palace first and then to the government office, and it would probably take him several days to come back.

Who knew that this would come back.

The door curtain was lifted and a tall man stepped into the room. He was cold all over and a gust of cold wind blew in his face.

The eldest lady was about to say something with a smile, but she saw a weak girl following behind him.

It was the cousin who was said to have eloped, Mu Zhou.

The eldest lady was stunned.

"Chao'er, what's going on?"

Didn’t you just send someone back a message that there was no cousin in the carriage?

Why are they back together now?

She looked at Song Wenchao puzzledly.

But Song Wenchao didn't show any intention of explaining.

The eldest lady could only look at Mu Zhou.

Mu Zhou glanced at Song Wenchao quietly. He took off his cloak, took the hot tea handed to him by the servant, and sat there casually.

As soon as he sat down, everyone dared to sit down too.

Song Wenchao is the prince, which means he will be the future owner of the Prince of Qi's Mansion. Not only that, he is also a favorite of the emperor and holds great power.

Everyone in the mansion respected him.

Mu Zhou withdrew his gaze, knelt in front of the eldest lady, and repeated what he had just said to Song Wenchao.

"A little girl told me that my mother was seriously ill at the farm and was dying. I was terrified and followed the girl out of the house through the corner gate without knowing what to do."

Mu Zhou's eyes were full of water, and she looked so pitiful. She wiped the corners of her eyes and continued:

"She put me on the carriage and told me to follow the coachman out of the city. At first, I was so focused on my mother's illness that I didn't think much of it. But once I calmed down a bit, I realized something was wrong.

Although my mother was not in good health, the eldest lady was kind and often asked doctors to take her pulse and gave her medicinal herbs. I have always been grateful to the eldest lady, so how could something unexpected happen to my mother?

Moreover, if something really happened, the eldest lady is so kind and compassionate to me that she would definitely send someone to tell me about my mother. But that little girl is a stranger and not from the eldest lady's courtyard. This doesn't make sense no matter how you think about it.

I looked again at the carriage and saw a bundle containing some banknotes and clothes. I knew something was wrong and asked the coachman to stop the carriage, but he refused to say a word. I had no choice but to jump out and run away. Fortunately, I met His Royal Highness on the way back home.

Mu Zhou poured out all the words he had prepared.

She just pretended that she knew nothing about elopement and was unaware of Luo Rong who was waiting outside the city. She just told what happened to her with grievance and fear.

Mu Zhou's face was wet from crying, and there were tear marks on his pointed chin.

Song Wenchao didn't even glance at her, and looked like he wasn't listening carefully, but he caught a glimpse of her appearance out of the corner of his eye.

He couldn't help but frown.

Is this woman made of water? How can she cry like this?

After hearing this, the eldest lady on the other side wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, feeling very distressed.

Seeing this, Song Wenchao just moved the corners of his lips and glanced at Mu Zhou.

This woman was not stupid. She did not forget to compliment his mother between the lines and showed her loyalty whenever she had the chance.

But his mother just fell for it.

The eldest lady hurriedly asked the nanny to help Mu Zhou up:

"Poor child, it's hard for you to be filial, but someone almost took advantage of you. I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."

"Thank you, Madam."

Sitting next to the second wife was a woman who looked two years younger than Mu Zhou.

The woman looked cute, but the look she gave Mu Zhou was not very friendly.

This is the second wife’s daughter, Song Yurou.

Seeing that Mu Zhou's elopement was so easily covered up, she couldn't help but speak out:

"Cousin Mu, the maid in the mansion said you and Cousin Luo eloped. What's going on?"

She intentionally reminded the eldest lady not to forget about the elopement.

Once reminded, the eldest lady also remembered the purpose of everyone gathering here.

Mu Zhou looked up at Song Yurou blankly, with tears in the corners of his eyes:

"Cousin Luo? Eloping? What does that mean?"

The confusion and bewilderment on Mu Zhou's face didn't seem fake, as if he didn't understand Song Yurou's words at all.

Nanny Li, who was beside the eldest lady, took over the conversation and explained her confusion:

"A maid in the mansion overheard the conversation between cousin and Young Master Luo. She learned that you were planning to elope today and reported it to the Second Madam. The mansion sent someone to look for cousin. Young Master Luo has also been found outside the city by the Luo family and brought back home."

After a few words of explanation, Mu Zhou was stunned for a moment, as if he finally understood.

She suddenly realized what was going on, and the next moment she knelt on the ground again, tears streaming down her face.

"Madam, Madam, I didn't. I didn't elope with Cousin Luo. How could such a thing be possible?" Mu Zhou was so shocked that his words were a little confused. "Becoming a concubine is despised by others. I received the favor of the Prince of Qi's Mansion, so how could I bring shame to the Prince of Qi's Mansion?"

Seeing that she cared so much about Prince Qi's Mansion, the eldest lady nodded, but then she thought of her usually cautious, timid and weak nature, and guessed that she would not dare to do so.

Besides, if he eloped, how could he jump out of the car and escape back?

So I believed her words.

"You've been frightened tonight. Go back and rest early. Everyone else should go home and we'll talk tomorrow."

Since the First Lady had spoken, the Second Lady and Song Yurou had no choice but to get up and leave no matter how dissatisfied they were.

Mu Zhou knew that he had passed this level.
