In the evening, the clouds in the sky were burned into a dazzling red, and the waves of the lake reflected golden light one after another. From afar, the water and the sky were one color, and the boundless lake seemed to be connected to the sky. As far as the eye could see, the clouds rolled up and down, like silk, until they spread out and merged with the gorgeous and soft waters.

As the evening breeze blows, the air is filled with the faint fragrance of lake water, intoxicating the tourists.

By the lake, a breeze blew, the willow branches trembled slightly, and he stood facing the wind.

Noble and aloof, his face as sharp as a knife showed a hint of melancholy...

The lake light shone on his face, reflecting his infinite dignity and elegance, and concealing his entire temperament and charm, making people feel as if he was floating like smoke, like fog and fantasy...

Suddenly, the setting sun slanted down on him, enveloping him in a haze. Although it was so close, it seemed like the end of the world.

Mo Lishang was shocked when she saw this. She felt as if she was going to lose something. She quickly walked forward and called out, "Brother."

"You came……"

Ren Xiaoyao turned around like the wind, walked towards her, and said with a smile: "I thought you didn't want a brother anymore since you had Jimo Li."

Mo Lishang blushed slightly and said angrily, "How could that be? Brother is brother, and he is him."

After saying that, she walked over to him, pulled his sleeve and made a face at him.

"Yeah, a brother is a brother."

Ren Xiaoyao was distracted for a moment, and he repeated her words softly, feeling a little disappointed, but it was gone in a flash. He suddenly smiled and said, "Will he be angry if you come to see me?"

"He dares!" Mo Lishang raised his little head arrogantly.

"Puch"

Ren Xiaoyao couldn't help laughing, and stretched out his hand to pinch her little face, but just when his hand was about to touch her face, he suddenly paused, changed direction and started to rub her hair.

Her hair was as soft as clouds and smooth as silk. He scooped up a handful of it and played with it in his hands. Looking at her high spirits, and then thinking of her previous guarded expression, she was like a completely different person. It turned out that the power of love was so infinite that it really untied her heart knot.

A hint of bitterness rose between his lips. It turned out that it was inevitable that he couldn't get her. He didn't have the courage and persistence. Perhaps if he had insisted, he would be the one who has her now.

But it was too late, she already had the person she trusted the most.

Thinking of this, he was sincerely happy for her. After all, he didn't have a strong background to protect her and prevent her from getting hurt again. After all, he wasn't as brave as Jimo Li and couldn't show his love generously. After all, he didn't...

So his failure was inevitable.

"Brother, what are you thinking about?"

Ren Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows and teased, "I was wondering when your sister would get married. I'm so unlucky. I've only known her for a few days and I have to give her a red envelope."

"Brother!" Mo Lishang's face turned even redder after hearing this, and he said angrily: "It turns out that Ren Woxing, who is the richest man in the world, is so stingy that he is unwilling to even contribute to his sister's wedding!"

"Hahaha, it turns out that the young master of the Demon Palace is so greedy that he even wants to take my money!"

"Yes, I am greedy for money. Be careful, don't let me take all your money!"

Mo Lishang smiled mischievously.

"Okay, I'll wait."

Ren Xiaoyao burst out laughing. He couldn't associate Mo Lishang with a miser.

"Hey, be careful."

Ren Xiaoyao smiled indulgently, but thought to himself, if you really want it, let alone this mere money, I can even give you my life...

At this time, there was a noise coming from the distance. The sound became louder and louder, and even sounded like crying for help, which seriously destroyed the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains.

"Hey, what's going on?" Mo Lishang frowned and looked at that place.

"Let's go. There's nothing else to do. Let's go take a look."

"it is good."

Under normal circumstances, Mo Lishang would not have cared about this matter at all, but he was in a good mood recently, so he happily agreed.

When we got there, we saw quite a few people gathered around. A woman in her forties was crying and kneeling on the ground. She was holding onto a man in his thirties in fancy clothes and begging him:

"Brother, you should be a man with conscience. When you were in financial difficulty, I helped you without hesitation and gave you all my wealth. Now your nephew has reached the right age to marry. I don't want any interest from you on the money I gave you, but I only want you to return the money to me. Why do you ignore our relationship and turn against me? How can I face your brother-in-law and my dead father-in-law?"

The more the woman spoke, the sadder and more anxious she became, and she even kowtowed to her brother.

For a moment, everyone was talking about it and blaming the younger brother. The younger brother saw that everyone was criticizing him, and he immediately became angry and said, "Sister, what are you talking about? In the past, when you were young, I helped you a little, just to fulfill the brother-sister relationship. But this time you are asking for too much. You actually want thousands of taels of silver from me. I am also a businessman. How can I have so much money? If I don’t give it to you, you will accuse me of owing you money! How can this be justified in this world?"

"Brother, you should act according to your conscience. When your parents passed away, you were still young, and it was my elder sister who raised you. When you wanted to do business, I used my husband's family's money to support you. But now you insult me ​​like this. I... I... I really can't face my husband and children anymore. I won't live any longer."

After saying that, he jumped into the lake.

Upon seeing this, Mo Lishang flew up, grabbed the woman and said in a deep voice: "Madam, what's the point of you crying? What's the point of you dying? If you die, your money will not be returned, and your husband and your children will not get the money either. What's worse, your husband and children will be pointed at by unknown people."

The woman was thinking of pushing Mo Lishang away and seeking death again, but after hearing what Mo Lishang said, she froze there. After a while, she shed tears and said, "But what can I do if he refuses to recognize me?"

"Go to the government office and sue him."

"If suing him would work, I wouldn't be blocking him here. It's because the government office couldn't try the case that I had no choice but to threaten him with death."

The woman originally thought that Mo Lisha had a way, but when she heard that Mo Lisha actually asked her to complain, she immediately became discouraged.

"Oh?" Mo Lishang paused for a moment and asked, "Does the loan have any proof, a notary, or a third party who handled the loan?"

"No, I have raised my brother since he was a child, how could I have known that he would be so unscrupulous!"

After hearing this, the woman shook her head and started crying.

For a moment, everyone looked at the woman with pity and pointed at the younger brother.

The younger brother said, "What do you guys know? She is trying to blackmail me because I have money!"

The woman was so angry that she was shaking all over. She stood up and rushed to the brother. She slapped him hard and said, "I'm going to beat you, you bastard!"

"you you……"

The younger brother was caught off guard and was hit. He was immediately in a state of embarrassment. He covered his face, pointed at his sister with trembling hands, and his eyes were full of anger. He must have felt guilty, so he did not fight back in the end. He just glared at everyone and ran away in shame.

Mo Lishang watched him go away and thought of her past. She had also treated Mo Yan'er as her own sister, but what happened in the end? The one who bit her back was the sister she held dear to her heart.

Thinking of this, her eyes became fierce, and she said to the woman, "Go back first, don't try to commit suicide, just wait patiently, in a few days, the government office will return the money your brother owes you."

"Really?" The woman looked at Mo Lishang doubtfully.

"Of course, don't worry."

At this time, someone in the crowd shouted, "This is the eldest daughter of General Mo's mansion. I heard that she proposed a plan to recover the Yu Kingdom, which our Great Zhao Kingdom had failed to recover for several years."

"Really? She's really a female Zhuge Liang!"

The crowd who were just watching the excitement suddenly became even more excited, praising Mo Lishang one after another, with admiration in their eyes.

The woman immediately burst into laughter after hearing this and said, "Since it was Miss Mo who said it, of course I believe it."

Mo Lishang smiled sweetly and ran away with Ren Xiaoyao.

In Zuixianlou

"Tell me, how can we make that bastard brother spit out the money without any evidence?"

"Hehe, you used foul language." Mo Lishang avoided answering and started to make fun of Ren Xiaoyao.

"You are avoiding the important point and are unwilling to tell me?"

"You'll know in a few days. If you tell it now, it won't work if someone hears it."

Ren Xiaoyao laughed after hearing this and said, "It's just a pretense."

Mo Lishang smiled but said nothing.

"Here, this is the deer meat that I just hunted today. Eat more. You are so thin. If you marry Jimo Li in the future, you will think that Dazhao is abusing you."

"How could that be? This Zuixianlou is opened by my brother. I will come here every day to eat every meal. Am I afraid that I won't get fat? I'm just afraid that you will think I eat too much and delay your earning money, and you will despise me."

"Nonsense." Ren Xiaoyao glared at her and said with a smile, "I have plenty of money, but I only have one sister. Is there anything more important than making you happy?"

Mo Lishang was so moved that his eyes became slightly moist. His lips moved but he didn't know what to say. At this moment, there were some words that didn't need to be said at all, but silence was better than words.

He took a bite of meat silently, then turned his head to look out the window. The moon was already shining in the sky outside the window, and every household on the street had lit candles. Looking down, the lights of thousands of homes were like stars, bright and beautiful.

"Be careful, be careful. Make way..."

At this time, a man pushed a bucket of rotten water and walked past downstairs.

The buckets stacked on top of each other blocked his view, and the night was dim, so he pushed and shouted at the same time, fearing that someone would bump into him.

Mo Lishang looked at them and suddenly said, "Sometimes I think we are not as good as these common people. Although we suffer from hardships in life, we have the expectations, care and love of our relatives at home."

"Don't you know that every family has its own problems?"

"Well, you're right." Mo Lishang sighed, took the tea handed to him by Ren Xiaoyao and took a sip.

At this moment, there was a bang downstairs, and the rotten water buckets all fell over, and an unpleasant smell overflowed.

Mo Lishang frowned slightly. Seeing this, Ren Xiaoyao stood up and walked to the window, wanting to help her close the window.

"Don't close it!" Mo Lishang suddenly stopped after seeing a man crawling out of a pile of rotten water buckets.

The man jumped out in a rage, took off his clothes and threw them at the man who pushed him away, then angrily said, "You bastard, how dare you throw dirty water at me? Don't you want to live?"

Ren Xiaoyao approached him and saw that it was Fang Zuyin, the son of the censor. He said contemptuously, "Fang Zuyin is the son of the censor but he has no self-discipline. He goes around looking for women, stirring up trouble, bullying men and women. It's a great pleasure that he's been poured with bad water today."

Mo Lishang looked over and saw that everyone was pointing and whispering, all with smiles on their faces, laughing at Fang Zuyin's joke.

Fang Zuyin is Fang Deyun's brother. He is indeed a handsome guy, worthy of being born from the same mother.

So, the man pushing the cart kept apologizing and hastily promised to help him wash the clothes. However, Fang Zuyin was not willing to give up after suffering such a big loss. He refused to give in and not only asked the man pushing the cart to compensate for the clothes, but also beat him.
