"Since that is the case, then there is no problem! The matters here will be left to Your Highness. Your Highness, just act according to your own heart. As for the rest, Han Mo has his own arrangements. Han Mo takes his leave!"
Han Mo smiled and said earnestly.
"I will escort Brother Han!"
Zhao Zhen said quickly.
"No, no, no, Your Highness. We have differing opinions and are parting unpleasantly! Does Your Highness understand?"
Han Mo said, winking at Zhao Zhen.
"Ah?"
Zhao Zhen was immediately stunned. What was going on now?
"Your Highness, don't forget the Imperial City Guard!"
Zong Ying reminded him quickly from the side.
"So that's it!"
Zhao Zhen suddenly realized and nodded immediately.
"Brother Shou Zheng, I will trouble you to help me put on a show!"
Han Mo said, cupping his hands towards Zong Ying.
"Brother Han, Your Highness is just a bit too strong-willed. Why does Brother Han need to be so angry?"
"Angry? How dare I, Han Mo, a commoner, be angry with Your Highness? It's just that although Han Mo is not some renowned scholar, I am also unwilling to be insulted for no reason! Farewell!"
Zong Ying said, hurriedly stepping forward to grab Han Mo's sleeve.
The guards standing by the side had already pricked up their ears curiously.
"Brother Han, what are you doing?"
Zong Ying quickly grabbed his hand, refusing to let go.
"Your Highness has noble character. Han Mo is merely a worldly person, and naturally can only stay far away from Your Highness! Consider those worldly possessions as Han Mo's well wishes for these common people. Brother Shou Zheng, if you let go now, we can still associate in the future. If you continue to pester me, we will sever ties from this moment on!"
Seeing Han Mo's furious demeanor, the onlookers began to whisper among themselves.
"What on earth is going on here!"
Zong Ying sighed and could only let go dejectedly.
Han Mo then got into his carriage without looking back. Xu Fengnian, not daring to waste any words, quickly sat on the driver's seat and drove the carriage away.
"Little Master, where are we going?"
"Anywhere is fine, as long as it's far away from here."
Han Mo said indignantly.
"Then, shall we go home?"
Xu Fengnian asked cautiously.
"If we're going home, then we're going home. What's with all the talk?"
Xu Fengnian dared not speak anymore, and could only drive the carriage all the way back to the mansion.
After escorting Han Mo to his courtyard and leaving the food box in the carriage, Xu Fengnian retreated to the carriage without looking back.
"What happened?"
Seeing Han Mo storm back into the house, Chun Tao quickly asked Xu Fengnian.
"I don't know either. Everything was fine, helping Prince Xin with the disaster relief. But after a few words, I don't know why he got angry."
Xu Fengnian was also completely bewildered and could only say what he knew.
"Angry? Oh! No, Second Brother, don't go in..."
Chun Tao's eyes widened. She couldn't care about anything else and hurriedly walked towards the inner room.
Before Chun Tao could finish speaking, Han Mo had already pushed open the door and walked in.
As soon as he opened the door, he was stunned.
Amidst the mist, the back of a woman was particularly striking.
Her ivory-like skin and voluptuous figure immediately made Han Mo stare blankly.
"Han Mo!"
Before Han Mo could react, Zhe Yourong's sharp voice rang out.
"I say, I didn't do it on purpose, do you believe me?"
Han Mo said casually while admiring the beautiful scenery before him.
Tears of regret were even starting to stream down the corners of his mouth.
"You're still looking! Hurry and close the door!"
Zhe Yourong couldn't bother with anything else. She quickly shrank her body into the wooden tub and, in shame and anger, urged Han Mo to retreat quickly.
"Oh!"
Han Mo replied, then directly turned his head and closed the door.
"Han Mo! You are shameless!"
Seeing the guy nonchalantly close the door and then turn back again, Zhe Yourong was truly at her wit's end.
"Second Brother, you..."
At this moment, Chun Tao pushed open the door and walked in.
This time, Zhe Yourong truly wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Even though she came from a military family, she was still an unmarried young lady. At this moment, she truly wanted to kill Han Mo.
"Get out!"
Zhe Yourong, full of shame and anger, yelled at Han Mo.
"Brother Mo, how could you..."
Chun Tao's face was flushed red. She blushed and pulled Han Mo out.
As soon as the two of them came out, the sound of clothes rustling could be heard from inside the room.
"Han Mo, I'll fight you to the death!"
Before Chun Tao could even speak to Han Mo, Zhe Yourong, with her hair loose, rushed out.
"Hey, hey, hey! Why are you reacting so strongly? Don't forget, we are engaged!"
Seeing the dagger in Zhe Yourong's hand, Han Mo quickly and instinctively shielded Chun Tao behind him.
"I will not spare you today!"
Zhe Yourong's face was so red it looked like it could bleed. She refused to listen to his sophistry now.
Wielding the dagger, she lunged directly at Han Mo.
"Hey, hey, hey! We are engaged! This is murdering your husband!"
Han Mo parried while shouting incoherently.
This only made Zhe Yourong even more furious. The dagger in her hand became more fierce with each move.
"Hey, hey, hey! Are you serious!"
Han Mo, not paying attention, had his sleeve sliced open.
Immediately after, a jade pendant fell out.
Fortunately, Han Mo reacted quickly and caught it in mid-air with his foot, thus avoiding the fate of the jade pendant being smashed into pieces.
"You, how do you have this thing?"
Seeing the jade pendant, Zhe Yourong's expression changed immediately.
She stopped the dagger in her hand and looked at Han Mo with a vigilant expression.
"Is this very strange? What kind of expression is that?"
Seeing Zhe Yourong frowning, Han Mo became suspicious.
Could it be that he hadn't done anything, but had just picked up a convenient hat?
If he picked up the hat, that would be fine, but if it was a green one, it would be too eco-friendly!
He had long heard that people of the Song Dynasty were very open-minded, and even concubine-sharing among close friends was common. However, he couldn't stand that.
"How do you have this item?"
Zhe Yourong did not seem to want to answer his question, and instead asked him back.
"How else could it have come about? Of course, it was given to me by him!"
Han Mo said, while carefully observing Zhe Yourong's expression.
"Are you the Crown Prince's person?"
Zhe Yourong asked, frowning.
"Whether I am his person or not depends on you..."
