Even though Lu Jiuqing had made some mental preparations and kept telling herself that she was just a stand-in and needed to recognize her own status, when she heard Mo Xiao say those words, she still felt as if her heart had been crushed. It was normal, the pain was severe.

Mo Xiao watched as Lu Jiuqing's expression turned pale, and the hands hanging by his sides clenched tightly.

He moved his lower lip and stretched out his hand to grab Lu Jiuqing, but Lu Jiuqing reacted so hard that he jumped up and got off the ground barefoot.

She turned pale and shouted in a fierce tone: "Don't touch me."

Mo Xiao: "..."

His hand was stiff, stabbed hard by Lu Jiuqing's words.

Lu Jiuqing took a deep breath, looked up at Mo Xiao, and then said word for word: "I had no choice in the past, but now... I want to follow my own heart."

"I, I am actually very grateful to His Highness. Your Highness is the best person to me."

Yes, it is ironic to say that Mo Xiao, a man who took things by force, turned out to be the best person to her in the world. But that's the fact. Compared to her family and the lover she once treated sincerely, Mo Xiao is really the best person to her.

Mo Xiao's pupils trembled and he slowly lowered his hand.

Lu Jiuqing's eyes were a little red and he said softly: "Yes, even if our relationship is wrong, it is not the first time... But Your Highness, I don't want this."

She is also a human being, and she still has a sense of shame.

Mo Xiao took a deep breath and stood up from the bed. As soon as he moved, Lu Jiuqing took a step back.

Mo Xiao paused for a moment, then put on his shoes and stood up as if nothing had happened. He looked at Lu Jiuqing steadily and said slowly: "I am not the best person to you."

After saying this, he stood up and walked out without saying anything more.

If he was really good to Lu Jiuqing, Lu Jiuqing would not avoid him. But even so, she still said that he was the best person to her.

Mo Xiao feels distressed and sad. At the same time, he blames himself and feels that he is not a human being.

When he walked to the door, he suddenly stood still, held it in for a long time, and then gave an explanation that was not an explanation: "I didn't mean it like that, and I didn't want to humiliate you...I came here this time just...for you to leave Tang Xiuyan, I am very happy."

"No matter what you think, no matter what happens in the future, you can come to me."

After saying this, Mo Xiao was about to leave, but Lu Jiuqing behind him suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute."

Mo Xiao was stunned for a moment, then looked back at Lu Jiuqing, with a bit of expectation in his eyes that he didn't even notice.

Lu Jiuqing pursed her lips and asked softly: "Lin Zhiwei...is she, is she okay?"

She actually wanted to ask, are you and Lin Zhiwei okay? But when the words came to my lips, I couldn't ask them out.

The anticipation in Mo Xiao's eyes was extinguished little by little, and he was silent for a moment before saying, "She is fine now."

The smile on Lu Jiuqing's face was a little forced: "That's good."

She lowered her eyes, moved her lips, and asked again: "Then...where does she live?"

After asking, there was no explanation for the lack of three hundred taels of silver: "There are no women in His Highness's house, so Lin Zhiwei was added rashly. I was afraid that the higher-ups would ask..."

The more I talked, the less I could go on. The reason was too far-fetched.

No matter what Lin Zhiwei and Mo Xiao did, it had nothing to do with her.

She smiled and said, "It's okay, I was just casually..."

"She has a special status and it is not appropriate for people to know her existence. Now she stays with me as a maidservant and lives with Qiuyue." Mo Xiao answered her.
