Chapter 29: Warning Sign

  Han Jiangxue had indeed seen Mo Li walking alongside her, and after a moment, she turned to him with a sideways glance: "You followed me, afraid I'd go crazy and harm others?"

  "Finally, the moment of truth arrives when your hypocritical and sinister sister is exposed. From now on, you won't have to pretend with this kind of deceitful person anymore. You should be overjoyed, but what's infuriating is how could she possibly be related to you?" Mo Li saw right through it and directly pointed out Han Jiang Xue's thoughts.

  Upon hearing this, Han Jiangxue didn't hide it at all, smiling and saying: "Indeed, nothing can be hidden from you. Since you already know, why are you still following me? My reputation isn't that great, aren't you afraid they'll laugh at you?"

  Mo Li also smiled slightly and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, my reputation won't be that good in the future anyway, let's just get used to it ahead of time."

  When she heard this, Han Jiangxue couldn't help but think of Mo Li more than a year later. The shocking news also brought down a lot of gossip. She couldn't help but smile in her heart, was this "birds of a feather flocking together"?

  "What a pity, I heard this year's lantern festival is going to be extremely beautiful, but it seems we won't be able to see it." She continued walking forward and didn't mention the previous matter again. In her heart, she was indeed slightly regretful, as Han Yajing and her group would definitely go to the lantern festival, so in the end, she wouldn't be able to excitedly run back to watch the lantern festival again.

  "If you want to see it, we can go a bit later." Mo Li wasn't particularly interested in those things, and just came out for a stroll. Everything looked the same to him, but Han Jiang Xue's tone seemed somewhat regretful.

  "It's all the same, every Lantern Festival is about the same." Han Jiang Xue lightly shook her head, then suddenly changed the subject and asked Mo Li directly: "Mo Li, what is your relationship with your brother Yu Shizi in the Mo Wang Fu?"

  Han Jiangxue was referring to Mo Wang's only legitimate son, Mo Yu. If she remembered correctly, three days later, Mo Yu would have a disaster because at that time, it happened to be the seventh evening after two days and two nights of heavy rain, and then suddenly came the news that the prince of Mo Wangfu was buried alive by a landslide in the suburbs of Beijing, which left a deep impression on her.

  She didn't know what the real relationship was between Mo Li and Mo Yu, so she also had some misgivings about whether to give Mo Li a heads up in advance.

  Upon hearing this, Mo Li was somewhat taken aback. He wasn't quite clear what Han Jiang Xue meant by asking these questions, but he still replied truthfully: "My father had a hard time having children, and in the end, there were only two sons - my brother and I. Although I'm not the eldest son, my brother has always been very good to me since we were young, and after our father passed away, he took even better care of me. Our relationship is actually closer than some brothers who share the same mother, unlike you and Han Ya Jing."

  Han Jiang Xue nodded silently, she could tell that Mo Li had just spoken from the bottom of his heart, so she didn't think much and walked to a slightly less crowded place, stopping and turning to Mo Li: "Is Yu Shizi planning to leave the capital three days later to personally celebrate his mentor's birthday?"

  "Nothing's wrong, is there?" Mo Li was startled again in his heart, but because of the previous protection of Mo Ge, it was much simpler to accept some unexpected things that happened to Han Jiang Xue.

  After all, his elder brother had always been very respectful of his enlightened teacher, and every year, unless he was not in the capital, he would prepare gifts and go to celebrate his birthday in person. This year is no exception.

  Han Jiang's eyes flickered slightly, as if she was thinking about something. After a moment, she looked at Mo Li Ji with great seriousness and said: "If it rains continuously for the next two days, I think you'd better advise Yu Shizi not to go. The continuous heavy rain will make the mountains around the capital prone to landslides, it's not safe!"

  Mo Li was taken aback again, seeing Han Jiang Xue didn't seem to be joking either, and his heart became increasingly puzzled.

  "You were fine just now, how did you..."

  His words were interrupted by a burst of shouting before he could finish speaking.

  As they turned around, they saw a man in green clothes shouting loudly "Young Lady" while running towards them with an extremely anxious expression.

  Han Jiangxue recognized him at a glance and subconsciously took two steps forward, asking the green-clad man who had already rushed to his side: "Qingmu, what's wrong with you? Where is my brother?"

  Aoki gasped for breath and hastily said: "Young lady... You'd better hurry back, young master is likely to get into trouble!"

  "What's going on?" Han Jiangxue had never seen Qingmu, a normally refined and courteous person, become so flustered before. Her heart skipped a beat as she realized that something must have happened to her brother.

  Aoki was anxious but his mind was clearer than ever: "It's hard to explain in a few words, let's hurry back and I'll tell you all about it on the way."

  So, Han Jiangxue didn't delay any further and set off immediately. Just as he took two steps, it seemed that he suddenly remembered that Mo Li was still there, and he abruptly stopped again. He turned his head to face Mo Li and said: "I have an urgent matter to attend to first, remember what I told you earlier!"

  After repeating his warning, Han Jiang Xue finally led Qing Mu and Zi Yue away quickly, leaving Mo Li standing on the spot with a thoughtful expression, watching as Han Jiang Xue's figure disappeared into the distance.

  A moment later, Mo Li still didn't withdraw his gaze, but instead said to himself, "I'll go check what happened at the Han family right away."

  "Yes!" Someone behind him responded with a single word, and then there was no sound again.

  Mo Li didn't say anything else, and after withdrawing his gaze, he slowly turned around and left.

  And with this move, Han Jiang Xue had already learned the detailed process of things from Qing Mu, and it seemed that someone could no longer hold back their breath and finally started to take action.

  Lin Xiao met with Han Jing today, and it was only then that Han Jing learned of Lin Xiao's upcoming engagement. Some days ago, someone from the Lin family had come to propose in advance, and the man's family background and appearance were all quite good, not inferior to the Lin family's. Moreover, the man did not mind Lin Xiao's illegitimate status and was willing to marry her as his legitimate wife; their eight birth characters had already been matched, and it was said that they were a perfect match.

  In short, the Lin family is very satisfied with this marriage, and it can be said that they have already made a good match. Moreover, Lin Xiaoxiao has also reached the age of marriage, so Mr. Lin plans to formally settle this marriage in a few days.

  Lin Xiao liked Han Jing, but she was not willing to. However, such things have always been arranged by parents and matchmakers, and the Lin family would never let her make her own decisions. So when she saw Han Jing, she burst into tears on the spot, with swollen eyes, completely at a loss for what to do.

  Han Jing heard the news and was already anxious, but seeing Lin Xiao crying like that made him even more heartbroken and lost his calmness. He immediately rushed home to ask for Han Father's consent for his marriage with Lin Xiao, no matter how hard Qingmu tried to hold him back.

  Aoki saw that Han Jing had made up his mind, and he knew it was impossible to stop him, so he immediately turned around and went to find Han Jiangxue. If he didn't hurry to find Han Jiangxue and persuade her to stop him, with Han Jing's temperament, things might get out of hand.

  As a result, Han Jiangxue became even more anxious. His father would absolutely not agree to his older brother's marriage to Lin Xiaoxiao now, after all the two families were really too far apart, and Lin Xiaoxiao was just an illegitimate young lady. And his older brother was so anxious that he couldn't open his mouth, once his father refused him, who knows what kind of situation would arise from his temper, at that time it's likely that all their efforts over the past few months would be completely wasted.

  Several people rushed back to the house at the fastest speed, and after asking a question, they went straight to Han Fu's study.

  Seeing Han Jing already kneeling outside his father's study at this moment, Han Jiangxue secretly sighed, it seemed that he still returned a step too late.

  Han Jing naturally also knew that Han Jiang Xue had arrived, but only raised his eyes to take a glance at first, and then withdrew his gaze, ignoring him and continuing to kneel by himself, looking like he had made up his mind and wouldn't be swayed no matter who came.

  Seeing Han Jiangxue return, Wu Bo, the old steward beside her, hastily stepped forward and said: "Young Miss, please hurry up and persuade Young Master!"

  "Wu Bo, what did my elder brother do just now?" Han Jiang Xue saw the situation and didn't pay attention to Han Jing. Instead of going into the study room to find her father, she first went to ask the old housekeeper, not knowing what kind of situation the father-son pair had gotten themselves into before she arrived.
