The villain who defeated the son of destiny was my father

From the palace

A beautiful woman, as beautiful as a fairy, was sitting by the window and crying secretly.

Her white clothes were as white as snow, and her pale and thin face was covered with traces of tears.

During the short few days in prison, she and Li experienced quarrels, complaints, and finally indifference.

After he was released from prison, he ignored her and refused to speak a word to her.

She felt upset, but she couldn't bring herself to look for him.

"Miss Qu, please at least use some. His Royal Highness Prince Li has been through this ordeal and is deeply traumatized, which is why he treats you like this. When the prince has calmed down, he will surely regret what he has done." A maid with almond eyes and rosy cheeks, who was of decent appearance, was coming in from outside. Seeing that the food had already gone cold and the soup had solidified, she ordered someone to take it down to heat it up, while she stayed to advise.

Qu Xinzhu's eyes flickered slightly, and a hint of pride flashed across his eyes.

Since being locked up in the dungeon, Mo Li's attitude towards her has changed. No longer caring and thoughtful, only endless indifference remains.

She knew that he resented her for causing him to be imprisoned, and he resented her even more for making him lose the trust of the old emperor.

Even though they have escaped from the cage now, he still has a knot in his heart for her.

If this knot is not untied in time, their marriage will probably change.

In that case, let her help him untie the knot with her own hands.

There is no construction without destruction. Only in this way can the relationship between them be indestructible.

"That being said, seeing how Li treated me, my heart felt like it was cut into pieces by a knife. I was in so much pain." Qu Xinzhu wiped away her nonexistent tears with an embroidered handkerchief, and then pretended to say, "If I had known this would happen, I would have died rather than dragging Li down with me. I regret it so much. After going through a jail term, I realized that the only person I really cared about was Li. What about Wu Xinkui? If I were given another chance, I would never harm Li in order to save him again."

She spoke with such sincerity that the maidservant beside her burst into tears.

"Miss Qu, please enjoy your meal. I will go and inform His Majesty of your recent situation. We cannot let you endure everything alone any longer." The little maid was about to leave and told His Majesty all her "concerns".

"Don't go. I don't want to burden Li Zhong. If someone has to bear the consequences alone, I would rather that person be me. This is all my own fault. You can't blame others. Li should blame me, because I have implicated my sweetheart in order to repay a favor..." Qu Xinzhu is a modern man after all. He is knowledgeable and experienced, so it is no problem for him to be fooled by all kinds of gossip.

"Miss Qu, you are too kind. I cannot bear to watch you cry alone. Even if you blame me, I will tell His Highness your feelings." The maid looked at her with pity, said a few words, and ran out.

Qu Xinzhu was secretly feeling proud of himself.

But she didn't expect that after the maid left the room, her expression changed into a completely different person in an instant.

She lowered her eyes slightly, with a hint of sneer on her lips, and walked away.

In the front hall, a handsome man sat at the first seat, managing the atmosphere of the mansion.

Since the king was conferred the title and his palace was established during the spring hunt, the time was too short, and the palace chosen to be built was just a house left behind by an official of the previous dynasty, which was slightly renovated.

Everything in the palace was in ruins. As the master of the palace, Mo Li had just been released from prison and had no time to rest before he had to deal with all the matters.

Although they are all trivial matters, as the saying goes, money makes the world go round.

Mo Li, a prince with no real power and no money, had a headache dealing with these servants.

Originally, the old emperor rewarded him with a lot of money, but since he was in prison, in order to get out as soon as possible, he spent money everywhere, hoping to use his connections to get released early.

Unexpectedly, he lost both the wife and the army. Not only did he not get out, but he also lost his money.

If the Empress Dowager had not shown mercy this time, he would have spent his whole life in prison and would never have been remembered by his father.

And the instigator of all this was that stupid woman Qu Xinzhu.

If he hadn't listened to her and gone to save that gangster Wu Xinkui, how would he have ended up like this?

But she kept making excuses and refused to ask the Prime Minister for help, which made him so angry that he wanted to strangle that woman to death.

Just when Mo Li was getting overwhelmed, he suddenly heard his subordinates come to report hurriedly that an old woman who claimed to be the mother of the Prime Minister came to see Miss Qu Xinzhu.

Hearing this, Mo Li immediately stood up and asked his servant to invite Qu Xinzhu over, while he strode to the door to greet him.

Outside the gate, Qu Wenshi and Wen Suhua were looking inside expectantly.

"Mom, you said Zhu'er...will she really not blame me? Will she really recognize me as her mother?" Wen Suhua was nervous and unconfident as she was about to meet her daughter whom she had not seen for many years.

Qu Wenshi comforted her, "Zhu'er was born after ten months of pregnancy, and she will definitely recognize you as her mother."

While the two were talking, they saw a man in a python robe coming towards them. They immediately stood firm and put on airs.

"Madam Qu is here, please hurry to welcome her as she is late." Mo Li hurried over, bowed, and kept a very humble attitude.

"It's okay. I'm just eager to see my poor granddaughter, so I came to your house rashly. I hope Your Highness Prince Li won't blame me for being impolite." There was a hint of satisfaction in Qu Wen's eyes. It was obvious that she had a good impression of her granddaughter's husband.

Wen Suhua also looked him over secretly, and was relieved when she saw that her future son-in-law was dignified and polite.

The three of them talked very harmoniously.

When Qu Xinzhu came here following the report from the servant, he was somewhat shocked when he saw this scene.

"Li, who are they?" Qu Xinzhu looked at the old woman, then at the veiled woman. He felt that her eyes were quite familiar, but he couldn't figure out the reason for a moment.

Mo Li stood aside, without saying a word, but silently watched the words and actions of the three of them.

Wen Suhua stared at the extremely beautiful woman in front of her, her eyes filled with tears of excitement. She stretched out her hand, trembling as she wanted to touch her.

"Do not touch me!"

Qu Xinzhu frowned, a hint of disgust flashed across his face, and he subconsciously stepped back.

"Zhu'er, I am your grandmother, she...she is..." Seeing that she was on guard, Qu Wenshi hurriedly told her her identity. However, when it came to introducing Wen Suhua's identity, she didn't know how to explain it.

Wen Suhua opened her mouth, but had no words to say and could only cry in secret.

Her identity as a maid was not to be revealed to the public, and how could she say this to her daughter when she first met her? Especially with her future son-in-law beside her.

It's okay for her to be laughed at, but she can't let her daughter lose face.
