After Mo Xiao had eaten and drank enough, he settled Lu Jiuqing, who had fallen asleep from exhaustion, and left the room feeling refreshed.

She told Qiuyue to take good care of Lu Jiuqing and brought Xia Ying to the study.

As soon as he entered the study, Mo Xiao returned to his cold and distant look, and asked Xia Ying who was kneeling on the ground in a deep voice: "What happened yesterday."

He was busy dealing with the prince, but he received a message from Xia Ying, saying that there was a problem on Lu Jiuqing's side. He didn't even bother to deal with the prince, so he just dropped the person and walked away.

Mo Xiao didn't even return home, but went straight to the Zhongyong Hou Mansion to pick someone up.

Xia Ying lowered her head and said softly: "I don't know the specific matter. I only know that the girl seems to be investigating something. Yesterday I met a woman and after chatting with her, the girl became a little abnormal. .”

Mo Xiao frowned: "What does that woman do?"

Xia Ying shook her head and said softly: "Although the girl keeps my slave by her side, she hides many things from her."

She was the one Mo Xiao sent there, so she would naturally report Lu Jiuqing's every move to Mo Xiao, and Lu Jiuqing knew this well. They had a very harmonious relationship on weekdays, and Lu Jiuqing didn't seem to mind that she was Mo Xiao's lover, but Xia Ying knew that Chen Yuan was the only person she truly trusted.

"The girl left everything to Chen Yuan to investigate, and it was Chen Yuan who brought that woman back." Xia Ying said softly.

Mo Xiao snorted: "She is on guard against me, but she trusts that little wild dog very much."

Xia Ying: "..."

Xia Ying endured it, but couldn't hold it back anymore, and whispered: "The girl said that she can't call her a little wild dog, but Chen Yuan. Moreover, the girl seems to treat her as a younger sister, and she is usually worthy of her sisters."

Mo Xiao's face darkened, and he said angrily: "You can show your heart to someone you pick up, but you do this to me!"

Xia Ying lowered her head and did not dare to say a word.

Lu Jiuqing seemed to have extraordinary trust in Chen Yuan.

Mo Xiao raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brow, leaning back on the chair with a tangled look on his face.

He frowned, and after a while, he suddenly asked Xia Ying: "You have been with her for so long, and you know her somewhat. Tell me, if I investigate her affairs behind her back, will she know about it later? angry."

Xia Ying was stunned, hesitated, and then told the truth: "From my perspective, I think... yes."

"Yes," Mo Xiao said softly, "She is such a stubborn person."

No matter how hard I endured, I never spoke out once. If he hadn't talked a few more words after drinking, he might never know what she was thinking for the rest of his life.

However, Mo Xiao wanted Lu Jiuqing to rely on him.

He wanted to be her protective umbrella so that she would no longer have to work so hard and not have to shoulder everything alone.

He didn't know how long he would have to wait for this day.

"Forget it," Mo Xiao waved his hand and said to Xia Ying, "take good care of her. If she needs it, just do your best."

He had the patience to wait for Lu Jiuqing to tell him in person.

Xia Ying agreed, turned around and went out.

After going out, Xia Ying breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was smarter this time and came to His Highness as soon as something happened.

If she didn't find it, and His Highness himself found out later, she would probably shed another layer of her skin.

After being with Lu Jiuqing for so long, she had somewhat understood Lu Jiuqing's position in Mo Xiao's mind.
