Chapter 129 Su Mobai is a burden
Su Mowan smiled.
“At first, I did think so, but now it’s different.”
She now realizes that her original idea was not quite right.
She had feelings for Murong Jin, and if she had to choose someone to marry in Yunmo, that person would definitely be Murong Jin.
Murong Jin and she were like confidants; with such a relationship, they should be able to spend their whole lives together.
And she genuinely thought Murong Jinren was a good person.
But that was my previous idea.
Only now does Su Mowan realize that there are huge problems here.
Just as Su Mobai said, Murong Jin is indeed a good person, but not suitable for spending a lifetime together. Because Murong Jin can't even control his own life, let alone protect her in certain situations.
Although she doesn't usually need anyone to protect her.
But I've heard that women all need something called security.
Murong Jing was somewhat surprised.
He narrowed his eyes, his captivating gaze fixed intently on Su Mowan.
"What did you mean by that just now?"
Has this woman now realized that the King of Chu is only good-looking for his face?
Su Mowan smiled as she met Murong Jing's gaze.
She shrugged: "I owe this all to Su Mobai. Although I'm reluctant to admit it, I am indeed somewhat grateful to him."
Su Mobai was right. No matter how good the King of Chu was, he couldn't withstand the presence of the powerful Consort Xiao behind him.
Judging from Su Huayue's expression, she was not having a good time, which was probably related to Consort Xiao.
Although she didn't understand why Su Mobai insisted on bringing her to the Prince of Qin's residence, Su Mowan felt that the situation wasn't too bad.
After all, in the Qin Prince's mansion, one doesn't have to worry about what others think.
Aside from Shen Muyue occasionally picking a fight, he was quite carefree.
Of course, she also discovered an incredible secret: the renowned War God Prince Murong Jing was actually such an eccentric character.
Su Mowan was really curious as to why Murong Jing treated her differently from the very beginning.
She wasn't one to keep secrets, so she immediately asked Murong Jing, who had a strange expression on his face, "I've said so much, now it's Your Highness's turn to speak. You didn't just want to use me as a pawn in the first place, did you? I have a feeling there's another reason."
Upon hearing this, Murong Jing's eyes flashed.
There are indeed other reasons behind this.
However, this reason is negligible compared to the fact that "it was Su Mowan who saved him back then".
His Highness the King of Qin is feeling very complicated right now.
It's too complicated to answer this question.
The information he had found misled him, and he always thought that it was Su Huayue who saved him, so he felt somewhat unhappy when Su Mobai said those words to him.
Now it seems that Su Mobai, that old fox, knew the truth from the beginning! That's why he said those things back then!
They were holding back, eager to see him make a fool of himself.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, he even went to rescue his so-called savior, Su Huayue.
That was bad enough, but as soon as he returned to the Prince's Mansion, he went to "settle accounts" with Su Mowan. And yet, his true savior remained completely calm.
I've actually become the one who's being 'unreasonable'.
The thought of being indirectly tricked by Su Mobai made His Highness Prince Qin fidget with his long, slender fingers, his face turning quite grim.
He asked Su Mowan for confirmation: "Did Su Mobai know about what happened back then from the very beginning?"
Su Mowan didn't know what Murong Jing's intention was in asking this question, but it sounded like there was something unknown about it.
She nodded, with a hint of sarcasm: "He should know, after all, with his abilities, knowing this would be a piece of cake."
These words had a significant impact.
Su Mowan watched as Murong Jing's face darkened inch by inch, and she had a bad feeling.
His Highness the King of Qin looked extremely grim.
Su Mobai, that fox, not only tricked him, but also swindled him out of 100,000 taels of snowflake-patterned silver. His Highness Prince Qin's face grew increasingly gloomy.
Su Mowan couldn't quite decipher such a complex expression. After reviewing their conversation, she knew that Su Mobai must have something to do with it.
Moreover, Murong Jing has not yet answered her question.
"The past is too painful to recall, so let's not dwell on what happened back then. I just want Your Highness to answer the question I just asked."
There's no need to bring up what happened back then?
She makes it sound so easy, but it turns out she wasn't the one who made a fool of herself!
Murong Jing suddenly realized that what he had been agonizing over all night was no big deal when it came to Su Mowan, and he felt a little uneasy.
But I don't understand why it doesn't feel right.
Frustrated, he could only reply, "What's the problem?"
"Why was Su Mobai so insistent on sending me to the Prince of Qin's residence? And why did you take me in?"
Saying it was just taking her in isn't quite accurate; upon closer inspection, Murong Jing actually did "take care" of her.
Although venting my anger in front of Shen Muyue might seem like taking advantage of her, anyone could have done the same thing.
It had to be her.
Murong Jing turned his head away, avoiding eye contact, and his deep eyes flickered.
This is a difficult question to answer. Can we just say that it's because Su Mobai, that fox, is blackmailing him into taking good care of her?
His Highness the King of Qin could not bring himself to say such a shameful thing.
Murong Jing coughed lightly, somewhat awkwardly, and said, "I have my reasons for doing things. As for why Su Mobai is so persistent, I don't know either. You can ask him yourself."
Su Mowan had long suspected that Su Mobai and Murong Jing must have known each other before, and that they must have had a lot of contact.
Hearing Murong Jing's words, I was immediately certain.
She never doubted Su Mobai's abilities, and getting involved with Murong Jing probably wouldn't be difficult for him.
It's a mystery how Su Mobai managed to do it. As someone who has no blood relation to Su Yuandao, he managed to become so powerful and influential in the General's Mansion. Not only were Su Liushi and Su Huayue, mother and daughter, afraid of him, but even Su Ruofeng secretly admired him.
However, she, the only one related to Su Mobai by blood, failed to overwhelmingly intimidate Su Huayue, which made Su Mowan secretly mock herself.
Su Mobai and Su Yuandao are not related by blood. In other words, Su Mobai is a "burden" because her mother brought her to the General's Mansion.
Her mother had passed away sixteen years ago.
Therefore, Su Mowan did not recognize what her 'mother' looked like.
As for her mother's family background, that was a taboo subject. Su Yuandao had never mentioned it to her, and Su Mowan had never heard Su Mobai mention it to her either.
However, one thing is certain: her mother was not from Beijing.
His Highness the King of Qin, seeing the woman before him lost in thought again, suddenly blurted out, "The painted pavilion is about to be completed. What are your plans?"
Su Mowan immediately snapped out of her daze upon hearing the words "Painted Pavilion".
She smiled faintly.
"Plans? My plan is to paint and sell, and sell paintings."
Murong Jing frowned slightly and asked unhappily, "What do you want me to draw now?"
