After a moment, Ning Yan'er managed to calm herself down. With gentle steps, she stepped forward and softly said, "Yan'er pays respects to the prince."
A flash of impatience crossed Mo Liandi's eyes. He nodded indifferently and then withdrew his gaze.
Seeing this, Liu Rumei also came to her senses. She tried to pull her hand out of Mo Liandi's palm but failed, so she had no choice but to give up.
Mo Liandi, however, was wearing a faint smile on his face and was about to lower his head to whisper in her ear.
Ning Yan'er's delicate voice sounded again, "Your Highness, Yan'er asked Miss Liu to pass on a message, but Your Highness has been slow to come. Is Your Highness angry with Yan'er?"
Her voice was gentle and plaintive, just like a lover who had had an argument. It made Sixi extremely unhappy.
This woman was up to her tricks again! How could she be so shameless?
Liu Rumei remained calm and stood quietly aside, as if she was out of this world.
Mo Liandi couldn't help but frown slightly. He tightened his grip on her hand and then coldly said to Ning Yan'er, "Angry? What does the princess mean by that?"
Ning Yan'er's eyes were full of grievance. "If Your Highness is not angry, why has Your Highness refused to see Yan'er?"
In the past, although he was busy, he would occasionally meet her. But now, since Liu Rumei's appearance, he had never looked at her again. What was so good about this bitch?
Mo Liandi seemed to suddenly realize something. He said indifferently, "I have a lot of things to do and have no time to deal with the Princess of Anning. I hope the princess will not come to the Prince of Guo'an's Mansion again in the future. It will take some time for the stewards in my mansion to drive the princess out. Please respect yourself."
Those who had been paying attention to this scene couldn't help but burst into laughter when they heard these merciless words.
It was well - known that the Princess of Anning had been constantly rejected in the Prince of Guo'an's Mansion, but she still refused to give up and kept coming back again and again.
Sixi almost clapped her hands in approval. This was exactly how one should deal with such a shameless woman.
Liu Rumei was also stunned. People said that Mo Liandi was cold - blooded and not interested in women. Now, she finally saw it for herself.
However, thinking of their first encounter, Liu Rumei couldn't help but frown. Why did it seem a bit different?
The color instantly drained from Ning Yan'er's face, leaving only a deathly pallor. Her voice trembling, she said unwillingly, "Your Highness, how could you treat Yan'er like this?"
She had loved him for more than a decade. How could he be so heartless and not care about her dignity at all?
Mo Liandi's face was full of impatience. He coldly said, "What do you want? It's said that the Huaiyuan Marquis's Mansion has strict family teachings, and the Princess of Anning is a well - known talented woman in the capital. But I never thought she would be so shameless as to run to a man's house."
And she even tried to seduce a married man!
Ning Yan'er's face instantly turned deathly pale. Her eyes were full of disbelief as she looked at Mo Liandi. "Your Highness..."
The Huaiyuan Marquis's face was also extremely gloomy. His beloved daughter was so despised by Mo Liandi. Where could he put his face?
Immediately, he stepped forward and pulled Ning Yan'er behind him. Grinding his teeth, he said, "Please forgive the princess, Your Highness. Yan'er just drank a few more cups and may be a bit drunk."
A mocking smile curled up on Mo Liandi's lips. "If that's the case, then please the Huaiyuan Marquis take good care of the Princess of Anning. I have limited patience. If she doesn't know her place again, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The Huaiyuan Marquis gritted his teeth but couldn't say anything. He could only bow respectfully. "I understand, Your Highness."
Mo Liandi didn't say anything more. Without looking at Ning Yan'er again, he pulled Liu Rumei beside him and left.
Liu Rumei felt the gazes on her and couldn't help but sigh. She should come to such places less in the future.
After Mo Liandi's outburst just now, no one around dared to get close for a while, as if an odd circle had formed.
Mo Liandi pulled Liu Rumei to sit beside him. Although they were in the center, no one dared to get close.
Liu Rumei was actually quite happy about this. Suddenly, she said, "Your Highness didn't seem like this when you first met me."
Sixi finally said something, "Your Highness is only like this to Miss Liu. For so many years, Your Highness has never shown a good face to others!"
That was why there was a rumor that the prince was not interested in women, but Miss Liu was truly an exception.
Liu Rumei was slightly stunned, and a look of embarrassment flashed across her eyes.
Mo Liandi, however, had a smile on his lips. He thought to himself that this girl was getting better at talking.
Ning Yan'er stood aside. Seeing the two of them like this, her anger deepened.
The Huaiyuan Marquis's face was also extremely ugly, but he could only hold back his anger. Looking at Ning Yan'er beside him, he sighed deeply and softly said, "Yan'er, if you can't bear the small things, you will ruin the big plan!"
He understood men's minds better than anyone. Now, Mo Liandi was just infatuated with her beauty. No matter how beautiful a woman was, she would eventually grow old.
Relying on beauty to please a man was not a long - term solution. Only a powerful maternal family could guarantee a woman's status.
He didn't believe that although the Huaiyuan Marquis's Mansion was not as powerful as the Prince of Guo'an's Mansion, it was still a marquis's mansion.
He didn't believe that Mo Liandi would really give up power for a woman! One day, the title of the Princess of Guo'an would still fall on his Yan'er.
Hearing this, Ning Yan'er twisted her handkerchief with one hand. "Father, but when will that day come?"
This bitch was so presumptuous now. She really couldn't stand it.
The Huaiyuan Marquis said meaningfully, "Yan'er, the prince will be the one you spend the rest of your life with. No matter what you do, you must keep yourself clean. Otherwise, if there is a rift between you and the prince, you will be the one who suffers in the future."
There were countless well - bred young ladies in the capital, and there were many others who wanted to be the princess. It was better to be the yellow finch waiting for the right moment.
Ning Yan'er was slightly stunned. After thinking for a while, she understood the truth. "Father, I was reckless today."
The Huaiyuan Marquis nodded secretly. Looking at Liu Rumei and Mo Liandi, a smile curled up on his lips.
A bad premonition suddenly rose in Liu Rumei's heart, but it quickly disappeared.
Mo Liandi noticed that Liu Rumei's expression was strange. He frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Liu Rumei shook her head slightly. Just as she was about to speak, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them.
Who else could it be but the Grand Minister of War, Xue Changsheng?
Xue Changsheng respectfully bowed to them. "Your Highness, Miss Liu."
Liu Rumei also stood up and returned the courtesy. "Lord Minister of War."
Mo Liandi's expression was calm. "What's the matter, Lord Minister of War?"
Never visit without a reason. This Xue Changsheng had specially sent an invitation to Liu Rumei, as if he was afraid that he wouldn't bring her. What on earth was he up to?
