Chu Mo scratched his head. "Actually, I don't want to do anything. I just want to cultivate quietly and live happily every day. It's a pity that the simpler the idea, the harder it is to achieve. In order to achieve my goal, I can only work hard to clear all the obstacles that appear in front of me. "
"Including the Crown Prince and the others?" Miao Yiniang asked faintly.
"Including them," Chu Mo answered.
"I know, I will support you!" Miao Yiniang looked at Chu Mo. "No matter what your decision is, I will support you!"
Chu Mo smiled. "I know."
Then, the four of them started the New Year's dinner. When they heard the continuous sound of firecrackers outside, Chu Mo and Xu Fufu looked at each other and said in unison, "14 years old!"
The two youths who could easily stir up a storm in Yan Huang City were already 14 years old. They were only 14 years old.
Miao Yiniang and Liu Mei'er raised their glasses and toasted the two 14-year-old youths, congratulating them for growing up by another year.
Then, the few of them ran outside to set off fireworks. The two girls in their twenties were like young girls, laughing very happily.
Just like that, a year had passed.
When Chu Mo returned home, it was already late at night. There were almost no pedestrians on the road. At the gate of the Fan Mansion, there were two red lanterns hanging, illuminating a large open space.
Looking at the two lanterns, Chu Mo felt warm in his heart. He was finally home.
The guard at the gate saw Chu Mo return and said, "Young Master, just after you left, there was another carriage. It said it was to take you to the palace. Is everything okay?"
All of the guards in the Fan Manor, including the guards at the gate, were veterans who had retired from the army. Their vigilance was far greater than that of ordinary people.
Chu Mo smiled and shook his head. "Uncle Qin, it's nothing. Did you drink anything tonight?"
The middle-aged man in his forties scratched his head and said, "I drank a little. It was brought over by the girls that Young Master brought back. Speaking of which, the atmosphere in the mansion is really different with these girls! It seems that we have suddenly become a rich family. Heh, we even have maids! "
Chu Mo felt sour in his heart. He smiled and said, "Uncle Qin, who do you like?"
"That's not true. Don't talk nonsense. If I had a daughter, I'm afraid she wouldn't be as old as my daughter. I just feel that our General's Mansion is more lively than before!" Old Qin said with a simple and honest smile.
No one knew that this man, who walked with a slight limp, was also a brave and fearless elite soldier on the battlefield in the past.
Chu Mo patted Old Qin's arm. "Uncle, our family will get better and better.
"Yes, with Young Master around, it will definitely be better!" Old Qin smiled happily. Then, he suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Young Master, two hours ago, a girl came to look for Young Master. I told her that Young Master was not at home, so she left."
"Girl?" Chu Mo was slightly stunned.
"Yes, she was very beautiful and spoke politely. She didn't look like someone from the pugilistic world. Instead, she looked like a lady from a wealthy family. However, I feel a little strange. It's New Year's Eve. Why would a lady from a wealthy family come out from home? "Old Qin mumbled strangely.
"What did she look like?" Chu Mo asked.
"Yes, she was quite tall. Her face was a little round. Her hair was tied up and she wore a blue shirt with a black cloak. She seemed to be … a warrior." Old Qin said.
In Chu Mo's mind, the girl that night when he was at the Prince Mansion appeared. He frowned slightly and thought to himself, "Could it be that her illness has already acted up?"
Thinking about it, Chu Mo said, "When she comes again, bring her to see me directly."
"Okay." Old Qin's face showed an understanding smile.
Chu Mo rolled his eyes and walked in.
As soon as he arrived at the door of his room, Chu Mo slightly raised his eyebrows. He did not say anything and pushed the door open to enter the room. Sure enough, there was a girl sitting in the room. It was the girl who wanted to assassinate him that night in the Prince Mansion.
She had taken off her cloak and placed it on a chair. She wore a blue shirt underneath. When she saw Chu Mo come in, she first showed a hint of shyness on her face. Then, she stood up and slowly knelt down. She whispered, "Young Master Chu, I'm here to beg you to save me."
"Get up and talk." Chu Mo said lightly. He walked to the stove and put half a pot of water on it to boil. Then, he walked back and sat opposite the girl. He did not say anything and just looked at her.
"I …" The girl hesitated and wanted to say something.
Chu Mo waved his hand and looked at her seriously. "You've decided to leave that person?"
The girl nodded and looked at Chu Mo pitifully. "I left that night. She saved my family. If it were not for her, I'm afraid my family and I would have been dead. So, I still owe her. But these years, she killed all my family members. Now … I don't know if I should be grateful to her or hate her. "
"It's not difficult to detoxify your poison." Chu Mo said.
The girl looked at Chu Mo and gently bit her lower lip. Her pair of bright eyes blinked a few times. Then, she said softly, "Apart from myself … I have nothing to repay you."
"It's not that I want you to repay me. I'm thinking … whether I can trust you." Chu Mo said lightly.
"If I say that you can trust me now, it's not very convincing." The girl said softly. Then, she stood up and started to take off her clothes. "Why don't you take me? That way, I'll be yours … I won't harm you."
Chu Mo glared at her. "Sit down!"
The girl was shocked. She sat there feeling wronged. "How can you trust me when you don't like me? Don't tell me … you want to poison me like Princess Consort? "
Chu Mo sneered. "What kind of person do you think I am? You don't understand what I mean! "
"Please speak, Young Master." The girl looked at Chu Mo.
"I promised to help you detoxify the poison. There are no conditions for this. Are you going to repay me with your body if an eighty year old man helps you detoxify the poison? "Chu Mo looked at her angrily." Girls should know how to love themselves! "
The girl was scolded, but she wasn't angry. Instead, her eyes revealed a trace of joy as she said: "Young Master is so handsome and capable. It is my good fortune to be young master's woman. If it was someone else, I would rather die than let him touch me!"
"That's enough. I don't have that kind of thought about you." As Chu Mo spoke, he stood up and went to pick up the half-boiled pot of water on the stove, intending to make tea.
At this time, the girl stood up and said, "Let me do it." Then, she took the pot from Chu Mo's hands. She found the tea leaves and skillfully made the tea.
Chu Mo sat there and pondered for a moment. Then he said, "Right now … I'm doing something. I'm short of manpower. I'm wondering if I can trust you and let you participate in this matter. As for your poison, no matter what, I will help you detoxify it. "
The girl's eyes suddenly lit up. Then, she slowly knelt in front of Chu Mo and said seriously, "Young Master is willing to detoxify the poison for Rouge unconditionally and is willing to take Rouge in. It's Rouge's good fortune. Rouge swears by her dead family that she will never betray Young Master. If she disobeys, Rouge's family in the underworld will never have peace! "
