Xia Ying stood far away and didn't hear anything. When she saw Lu Jiuqing coming out, she hurriedly approached and asked in a low voice: "How is it? Is Your Highness happy?"

Lu Jiuqing walked out without saying a word.

Xia Ying realized something was wrong, looked at Qiu Yue, and hurriedly chased after her.

Qiuyue was silent for a moment, then walked into the house.

In the room, Mo Xiao stood firmly on the spot, looking down at the roasted chestnuts on the floor, his face extremely gloomy. From so far away, Qiu Yue could feel the rage rolling on Mo Xiao's body.

Qiuyue hesitated for a moment, but took a step forward.

Mo Xiao was startled by her step. He turned around and asked in a deep voice, "She's gone?"

Qiuyue nodded and said truthfully: "When the girl left... she didn't look very good."

Mo Xiao stopped talking, but his eyes were colder than before.

Qiuyue thought about it for a while, but still boldly said: "I heard from Xia Ying that this jade pendant was picked by the girl herself. She said that the tiger on the jade pendant is lifelike, and the grinning look looks like you."

"The sugar-roasted chestnuts were bought by the girl herself. She held them in her arms all the way to avoid getting cold."

Qiuyue looked at Mo Xiao's face and saw that the other party showed no signs of breaking out, so she continued: "I am brave, I feel that the girl did not come here to plead for that person."

Mo Xiao's hand hanging by his side clenched tightly into a fist, and finally let go, closing his eyes tiredly.

The words Lu Jiuqing said before leaving made him understand that he might have misunderstood.

She really didn't come here to plead for Tang Xiuyan.

"Why is it at this time..."

The timing of Lu Jiuqing's arrival was so coincidental that he couldn't help but think in that direction.

Mo Xiao took a deep breath, squatted down, and picked up the scattered roasted chestnuts one by one.

Qiuyue hurriedly stepped forward to help, but Mo Xiao raised her hand to stop her: "I'll do it myself."

Qiuyue paused and stood aside silently.

Mo Xiao picked up the roasted chestnuts with his own hands, and then picked up the jade pendant.

Mo Xiao looked at the jade pendant over and over for a long time, and finally couldn't help laughing: "Buy a stone for me. Only she can do it."

He lowered his head and took off the priceless mutton-fat white jade from his waist and threw it on the table. He then hung up the black jade pendant himself and arranged it carefully.

Mo Xiao looked at Qiu Yue: "How?"

Qiuyue: "...very unique."

Anyone with a bit of discernment can tell that this thing is a fake at a glance.

There was a smile in Mo Xiao's eyes, and he said angrily: "I didn't give her too much money, but she ended up being so stingy even when she bought a gift."

Qiuyue pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly: "Sometimes the girl does things unexpectedly."

Buying a stone as a gift to the Ninth Prince is really not something that ordinary people can do.

Mo Xiao held the bag of roasted chestnuts that were still warm and sat at the table to peel them. He sat there for half an hour. The skin of the slender fingers was pricked, and some places became red and swollen, causing burning pain.

Qiu Yue felt distressed, but Mo Xiao didn't allow anyone else to help, so he finished peeling the bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts.

After finishing all this, Mo Xiao hugged the roasted chestnuts and walked out: "Get ready for the carriage."

Qiuyue was stunned: "Your Highness, where are you going?"

"Go to Tang Mansion."

Qiuyue was silent for a moment, and then said: "Your Highness, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to go to Tang Mansion at this time."
