Such a direct and almost rude question caused Dongfang You a lot of trouble. She frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "But Prince Ding is the future emperor I chose. Naturally, I need to assist him."
Xu Qingyan rolled his eyes and said, "Without your assistance, the Prince Ding Mansion has always been good."
"With me, the Prince Ding Mansion will naturally be better." Dongfang You finally found her confidence and said, "After so many years, the Prince Ding Mansion still can't get rid of the predicament of being surrounded by strong enemies. Isn't that enough to prove that the assistants around Prince Ding are not capable enough?"
"…" The two brothers were silent. This was definitely an indiscriminate attack. In one sentence, she scolded everyone in the Prince Ding Mansion, old and young. Predicament my ass, Xu Qingyan cursed in his heart. Was Dongfang You blind? Now the Prince Ding Mansion was at least the second largest, if not the largest in all the countries. Its military strength was so strong that no one dared to fight against it. What else could it want? In just a few years, it was attacked from all sides and suddenly swept the world. Such a legend could not be written in a story book.
Xu Qingyan secretly circulated his Qi, looked at Dongfang You and nodded, "I understand. In fact, we are very happy that Miss Dongfang is willing to assist Prince Ding."
Xu Qingchen, who was rubbing the teacup, raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at his eccentric fifth brother without saying anything. Dongfang You looked at Xu Qingyan with some confusion, not knowing why he suddenly changed his mind.
Xu Qingyan coughed softly and said seriously, "Director Mo of the Prince Ding Mansion has lost his wife for many years, and has been single all the time. But he is one of Prince Ding's most trusted people. If Miss Dongfang is willing to marry him, I believe that both Prince Ding and the princess will believe in the sincerity of Miss Dongfang and the Boundless Mountain. Big brother, what do you think? "
This time, it was Young Master Qingchen's turn to twitch the corner of his mouth. But he was good at hiding it, so he naturally raised the teacup to cover his mouth. He nodded calmly and said, "Fifth brother, you are right."
"Mo … Director Mo?" Dongfang You was dumbfounded. He couldn't remember who this Director Mo was. In fact, Dongfang You had seen Director Mo several times, but she was so arrogant that she only nodded slightly in front of Fifth Young Master Xu. Even if Director Mo had a special status, in her eyes, he was just a servant of the Prince Ding Mansion. Naturally, she would not take it to heart.
Xu Qingyan nodded and said sincerely, "That's right, it's that uncle in black clothes. Speaking of which, in the entire Glass City, he's the only uncle who can still look so heroic while wearing the black clothes of the Prince Ding Mansion. "The other older men were either generals or scholars. Only Director Mo, who had a martial arts background but had always been doing literary work, could make the black outfit look so heroic and elegant.
Dongfang You immediately remembered the grey-haired director in black when he came to the Prince Ding Mansion for the first time. His face suddenly became very embarrassed. Even when Mo Xiuyao asked her to get lost in front of so many people, her face was not so ugly.
"He … how can that be?!" Dongfang You almost reflexively refused.
Xu Qingyan blinked and said, "Why not? Although our Xu family is very close to Prince Ding, we can't compare to the old people who have been in the Prince Ding Mansion for many generations. Director Mo's butler has been loyal to the Prince Ding Mansion for many generations. What's more … Miss Dongfang doesn't care who she marries, right? Isn't it good to marry Director Mo? I believe that although Director Mo has no intention to marry, he will sacrifice himself for the Prince Ding Mansion without hesitation. But my brother is different. Our Xu family cares a lot about who my brother marries. My grandfather said … it's better to have nothing than to have something substandard. "
It was probably the first time in Dongfang You's life that she met someone who spoke like Xu Qingyan. Her pretty face was red, purple, and green. It was as colorful as a color palette.
Xu Qingchen secretly gave Xu Qingyan an admiring look. She put down her teacup and said to Dongfang You, "Miss Dongfang, Fifth Brother is right. If Miss is willing, the Prince Ding Mansion will naturally welcome you. I can also ask the Prince to personally go to the Lord of Infinite Boundless Mountain to propose marriage. What do you think? "
"No!" Dongfang You almost screamed. This change in expression instantly made the originally strange and mysterious aura on her disappear without a trace. It was as if she was an ordinary shrewish girl who was dissatisfied with her marriage. "That's an old man! And a servant at that! How can he be good enough for me? "
Xu Qingchen and Xu Qingyan's faces darkened slightly. They did not comment on Dongfang You's words. It was this woman who was not good enough for Director Mo. Although Director Mo was not young anymore, his looks were not bad, and he did not look old. He also held the position of the Prince Ding Mansion's manager. He was definitely Prince Ding's most trusted aide. It was also because he had no intention of marrying a wife. If he really wanted to marry a wife, there would probably be many families in Glass City who would rush to marry their daughters over.
Although it was not very nice to anger a girl like this, Xu Qingchen was really annoyed by Dongfang You these days. Seeing her like this now, the displeasure on her face became even more obvious.
"Since that's the case, it looks like Miss Dongfang is not very sincere. Originally, the Prince Ding Mansion did not need any capable people to help. Miss, please leave. "Xu Qingchen said mildly as she sent the guest off.
Dongfang You returned in defeat once again. She glared bitterly at Xu Qingyan, threw down the words' I won't give up ', and turned to leave.
Once she left, the study was silent for a moment. Xu Qingyan finally could not help but burst into laughter. Looking at her younger brother who was convulsing with laughter, Xu Qingchen shook her head mildly and did not say anything. Xu Qingyan rubbed his stomach with one hand and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the other. He asked, "Big Brother, is this woman really from Infinite Boundless Mountain? This is too … "
Xu Qingchen said mildly, "Whether she is or not, we will know very soon. But it shouldn't be wrong. That's why … people cannot leave the secular world for too long. Otherwise, they might accidentally teach such a weirdo. I wonder if the Lord of Infinite Boundless Mountain will regret seeing this Miss Dongfang. "
"First Young Master, Fifth Young Master, Prince and Princess invite you in." At the door, Director Mo was standing there, looking at the two with an indifferent expression.
The two people who did not know martial arts looked at each other. Thinking of how they had just insulted Fifth Young Master Xu, they felt a little guilty. "Director Mo, you … when did you come?"
Director Mo said mildly, "Fifth Young Master said that I would sacrifice myself for the Prince Ding Mansion without hesitation. Thank you for your praise. "
Xu Qingyan blushed with shame. "Director Mo is too polite."
Dongfang You's expression was still very ugly when she left the Prince Ding Mansion. Along the way, the gazes that were sizing her up made her feel uncomfortable, as if needles were stabbing her. She was not a wooden person who did not feel anything. Of course, she could feel the gazes and words of the people around her. Although many people treated Xu Qingchen as a joke, Xu Qingchen had suffered an undeserved calamity in this matter. In reality, the person that everyone looked down on and mocked was only Dongfang You. But Dongfang You only treated this as a trial and error on her path to success. Therefore, she always gritted her teeth and acted as if nothing had happened. But today, being mocked and teased by Xu Qingyan so openly, no matter how thick her skin was, she could not hold it in any longer.
