Chapter 375
In the carriage.
Yun Qingcheng watched the scenery whiz by outside the window, a calculating glint in her eyes.
This time, she was determined to win this competition.
Murong Xue, just wait to be sent to the military camp!
"Murong Xue, just obediently wait for life in the military camp!" Yun Qingcheng sneered, a curve on her lips.
"Miss!" Xiao Qing suddenly called out.
"Hm?" Yun Qingcheng looked at Xiao Qing and asked, "What is it?"
"Do you like the Third Prince?" Xiao Qing asked.
"Of course, I like the Third Prince!" Yun Qingcheng answered without hesitation.
"But, do you know his identity?" Xiao Qing asked.
"Of course, I know he's a prince! Do I need you to remind me?"
"But he doesn't love you at all! Do you know that he openly admitted at the royal hunting grounds outside the capital that he likes men!" Xiao Qing said.
"What nonsense are you spouting! I don't care if he loves men or not, I just like him!" Yun Qingcheng said.
"But you are too young! The Third Prince definitely won't look favorably upon you!" Xiao Qing said.
"Xiao Qing, don't forget, I am the Prime Minister's daughter, and also a general's daughter. He is merely a concubine's son; he is not worthy of me!" Yun Qingcheng said proudly.
Xiao Qing, upon hearing this, was unconcerned.
"Murong Mo, you don't need to try and fool me. I've found out everything about you! You are just an illegitimate daughter! Moreover, you are not married yet, so even if the Third Prince doesn't favor you, you can only be a concubine, not a principal wife!" Xiao Qing said.
Murong Mo's face turned red with anger upon hearing this, "Nonsense! I am the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter, how can I be an illegitimate child? You lowly servant, you are deliberately framing me!"
"Framing you? You are truly too naive!" Xiao Qing sneered.
Murong Mo stamped her feet in anger, cursing, "You lowly servant!"
"Slap!"
Xiao Qing raised her hand and slapped Murong Mo.
"Ah! You dare to hit me?" Murong Mo covered her face, looking at Xiao Qing in horror.
She never expected that Xiao Qing would dare to slap her!
"Heh heh, Murong Mo, I warn you, you better be sensible! Don't be so arrogant just because your father is the Prime Minister! If you enrage me, I will make you regret being alive!" Xiao Qing threatened.
"You, you actually dare to hit me? I will definitely not let you off!" Murong Mo said angrily.
"Not let me off? With your capabilities?" Xiao Qing sneered.
With that, Xiao Qing reached out and fiercely slapped Murong Mo.
This slap was delivered with great force, causing Murong Mo's entire face to swell up.
Seeing Murong Mo's beaten state, Xiao Qing withdrew her hand with satisfaction, and said with a smile, "Murong Mo, can I go out now?"
Murong Mo covered her face, staring at Xiao Qing ferociously.
"Xiao Qing, you remember this! I will make you pay for everything you've done today!" Murong Mo said fiercely.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qing sneered disdainfully and said, "Then let's see if you have the ability!"
With that, Xiao Qing flicked the reins, urging her horse towards the capital.
The capital, Yun Qingcheng's mansion.
Murong Mo returned to the mansion and upon entering her room, saw her parents sitting in the hall.
As soon as Murong Yan saw Murong Mo, she immediately rushed forward, grabbed her shoulders, and asked excitedly, "Mo'er! What exactly happened?"
Murong Mo looked at her parents, her eyes darting away, and said, "Father, Mother, I haven't been back for so many days, what do you want with me?"
"What else could I want with you, I just miss you!" Murong Yan said.
"Yes! Mo'er, we haven't seen you in a long time! You must stay for a few more days this time and have a reunion dinner with us." The Murong couple said.
"Reunion dinner? You have the nerve to say that? Ever since you ran away from home, you've both disappeared without a trace! I thought you had both perished!" Murong Mo said.
"What nonsense are you talking! How could that happen! We went traveling as a pair! How could we have perished!" Madam Murong said.
"Then where are we now? Don't lie to me anymore!" Murong Mo questioned.
"Of course, we are at the Yun residence!" Madam Murong said righteously.
Upon hearing this, Murong Mo could not help but let out a cold hmph, and sarcastically said, "I truly overestimated you! So, you are nothing special after all!"
"Murong Mo, you are not allowed to talk nonsense!" Madam Murong glared at Murong Mo.
Murong Mo ignored her and looked at Master Murong.
She saw that Master Murong's expression was extremely gloomy.
"Father, what's wrong? I am your biological daughter, you won't not help me, will you?"
Murong Mo's voice was filled with pleading. She truly hoped her parents would stand by her side.
After all, she had no one to rely on now.
Moreover, she was still the Prime Minister's daughter, and this status was enough to protect her.
If she lost the title of Prime Minister's daughter, she feared she would die a horrible death.
Thinking of this, the resentment in Murong Mo's eyes deepened.
She didn't understand what had happened to her parents!
Clearly, she was their treasure, so why did they abandon her?
She was not resigned!
"Murong Mo! You are becoming more and more lawless! To dare to talk back to your parents, you simply don't take us seriously!" Master Murong said.
Murong Mo looked at them coldly.
She had already seen through them.
Her parents were not only cowardly but also greedy.
She had long seen through such parents.
"Since that's the case, then you don't need to worry about me anymore! I'm leaving!" Murong Mo said, then turned to leave.
However, just as Murong Mo took two steps, Madam Murong suddenly called out, "Murong Mo, stop!"
"What? I haven't left yet, and you still want to drive me away?" Murong Mo raised an eyebrow and said mockingly.
Madam Murong gritted her teeth.
"Murong Mo! You haven't returned for so many years, your father and I have missed you very much! Haven't you missed us at all? Do you really want to treat us like this?"
Upon hearing Madam Murong's words, Murong Mo couldn't help but laugh sarcastically, "Heh heh, missed you? I do miss your 'missing me'! Your 'missing me' is just to get money from me!"
Madam Murong choked upon hearing this, and then retorted, "How could your father and I want your money! Our salaries over the years are enough for us to live a comfortable life without worry!"
"Then why are you looking for me today? It's not just to reminisce, is it?" Murong Mo said indifferently.
"Mo'er, you truly have no manners anymore! Don't parents have the right to reminisce? " Madam Murong said angrily.
"Father! Mother! You really don't need to reminisce! I am grown up now and have the right to take care of myself. You don't need to worry about me anymore." Murong Mo said.
"What? You've grown up and have the right to take care of yourself? Are you saying you want to move out?" Madam Murong said in surprise.
"Yes!" Murong Mo replied.
