Boss, she was forced to be the wife

Yu Ge’s words are not straightforward, they almost have the word poaching written all over his face.

And how could Mo Luo not understand what Yu Ge meant? It's just that she now has a solid foundation in the Zhou family army, and Zhou's arrogance has never meant anything to her, but Hua Sanniang and Mr. Chen have a life-saving friendship and life-saving grace for her.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that after the Zhou Ang incident, if she is still crazy, then the outcome of Zhou Guogong's mansion must have been clear.

At this time, clinging to this place and not wanting to leave is asking for death.

When one's own future destiny and friendship with others really collide, anyone will choose the former.

Mo Luo was no exception, but she couldn't leave rashly. Even with Yu Ge protecting her, Duke Zhou went crazy and had no scruples at the end of the road. He really didn't hesitate to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred to himself.

Even if you don’t die, you still have to shed your skin.

Mo Luo had extra worries in his heart, and that was the reason why Zhou Ang went crazy.

No one knew that it was her fault that Zhou Ang went crazy, and Mo Luo would not choose to take the initiative to publicize such a thing.

It has always been her characteristic to do good deeds without leaving a name.

So Mara took a sip of the wine in the bowl and said:

"What Mr. Yu Xiaohou said is reasonable, but I can't just turn around and leave when I see Duke Zhou's mansion defeated. If I am really such a person, then I must not believe that Mr. Yu Xiaohou is such a person who seeks honor behind his back."

Although Mara doesn't talk much, when she needs to speak, she can express herself clearly in one or two sentences.

Mo Luo and Yu Ge only have a one-time relationship. She cannot completely trust Yu Ge. It is dangerous to simply and easily hand over her future to the hands of an untrustworthy person.

What she said was telling Yuge that she could go there, but she couldn't go there immediately.

A smart person like Yu Ge immediately understood the meaning of Mo Luo's words, so he laughed and said:

"As the saying goes, people go to high places and water flows to low places. It is understandable that this person pursues a future that is more beneficial to him. I, Yuge, never think that this is a seller seeking glory. Only those trash who cannot keep people are

You may feel that if someone abandons you, that person is heartless and unrighteous, but how do you define the word friendship in this world?"

Yuge drank another bowl of wine, filled it up and continued:

"I have seen people who talk about benevolence and morality abandon their wives and children and betray their brothers; I have also seen people who are not good at words and die in battle for their relatives and friends."

"Things in this world and people in this world are never black and white. Today you and I are enemies, but tomorrow we will be the same enemy. If you want it, the future is naturally in your own hands."

Yuge's left hand was empty, but she clenched the void tightly, as if there was something really in her palm.

Mo Luo looked at Yu Ge's firm and confident look and nodded. What she said made sense, and she could see it more clearly than those who were immersed in the officialdom and talked about benevolence, justice, etiquette and law.

"The etiquette, rules, benevolence, righteousness and morality in this world are all tools to restrain people. Only the most practical things - ability and power, are the most practical."

Yu Ge was stunned for a moment, looked at Mo Luo's determined expression and firm words, looked at Mo Luo in surprise, and then laughed.

She has a hearty smile, perhaps because she has been at the frontier for a long time with a wild beauty and a hearty flavor.

"I didn't expect that there are people in this world who see things as clearly as you do. Others just keep the matter secret, or they pretend to be confused and just live their lives."

Yu Ge patted Mo Luo's shoulder vigorously, feeling the tight muscles on her shoulder and neck, and said with a smile:

"You must have put in a lot of effort to become as strong as you are now."

Yu Ge had already clearly investigated Wan Mo Luo when she arrived. She never fought an unprepared battle, nor did she deliberately conceal that she had investigated the other party.

Mo Luo stretched out his other hand to grab Yu Ge's arm on his shoulder. After a few moves, the two hands separated.

"Thank you for your praise, Mr. Yu Xiaohou. I am working hard just to survive in this cannibalistic place; to have my own place in this world with distinct classes; to have my own place in this secular world with many rules."

Freedom."

"Freedom...."

A wry smile appeared on Yu Ge's face. She knew these three things Mo Luo said - life, status, and freedom.

Everything is more difficult than the same. Even for her, as the young marquis of the majestic Yu Guo Gongfu, her freedom is still in the hands of the emperor. When she comes and goes, she only needs an imperial edict to take over or not to succeed the Yu Guo Gong.

The position is just the will of the people above.

How has she ever had freedom?

"When you gain a position of power, freedom becomes even more out of reach. The situation is compelling and you have to obey."

Yu Ge's brisk voice was now slightly bitter, and even the wine he drank became sour.

Seeing that Yu Ge's mood suddenly dropped, Mo Luo just picked up the wine jar on the side and poured wine for her, and then said:

"Responsibility is the real mountain to bear. There are things and people in your heart that you cannot let go of, and the missions that must be completed are all your responsibility."

Yu Ge looked at Mo Luo and smiled. They both saw bitterness on each other's faces. One was running to stay alive, while the other was staying in the vortex of power for responsibility.

At this moment, the two people reached a tacit consensus, as if they were connected.

"At last night's banquet, Ruan Qingliu had already interceded for Nangong Rong. I believe Nangong Tou will return to the palace soon and officially appear to resume his status as a prince."

Mo Luo nodded, already prepared for this. Yu Ge glanced at the silent Mo Luo and then said:

"Nangong Tou may not be easy to mess with, but men have nothing to say in this world. He is just relying on the queen and the eldest princess, so he doesn't have to worry about anything."

But he is the male protagonist in the story after all, Mo Luo thought secretly in his heart, but had no way to say it directly.

She also has too many secrets, and even if she meets people like Du Liufang and Yuge who are close to her, she can't tell them everything.

The world is hard, and people are even harder.

The two of them had a drink each with their own thoughts, until late at night, when the restaurant closed, they helped each other stagger out of the restaurant.

Today's wine party was quite happy, and the two of them knew each other well. Before leaving, Yu Ge handed a jade pendant to Mo Luo:

"If you come out of Duke Zhou's Mansion in the future and come to me, the people of Duke Jade's Mansion will bring you to me as soon as they see this jade pendant!"

Mo Luo put away the jade pendant and watched Yu Ge staggering away, knowing that even though she looked alone, there was actually an invisible guard behind her protecting her.

Completely different from Zhou Ang, Yuge is a really strong and capable person. Xu's years of experience in the frontier have given her a broad vision, but she is also bold and careful.

Mo Luo stood where the two separated for a long time without moving. Thinking about Yu Ge's previous actions, he felt that these dandies in Kyoto City, led by Zhou Ang and Wei Yu, would be in danger if they encountered such a master.

In terms of official position, or in terms of life safety.

But it's useless to think about it now. Mara shook his head and wandered back to the house to rest.

In the next few days, until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Zhou family army where Mo Luo was located unexpectedly joined the search operation.

It's just that Duke Zhou was obviously furious this time and didn't care about anyone's feelings at all. The search only took less than half a month after the Yuanri Festival and the people were in mourning.

Even though Hua Sanniang intentionally controlled the search for everyone, her hasty search on this day of family reunion still aroused dissatisfaction among many people.

Later, someone even started fighting with people from Duke Zhou's mansion.

This high-profile operation by Duke Zhou quickly alerted Her Majesty the Queen, and on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, she made a strong decree to confine Duke Zhou at home.

Mo Luo knew that the Queen's decree seemed to be to punish Duke Zhou, but in fact it was to protect Duke Zhou's safety.

If she goes out now, she is simply causing hatred. She might as well just stay at home and not go anywhere.

And Mo Luo still has one important thing to do tomorrow - that is, Mr. Chen will be back soon.

Too many things happened during this period, and Mo Luo didn't have time to take care of Mr. Chen. Taking advantage of her free time, she first went to the forest hut outside the city.

The place is empty now, even the big yellow dog has been taken away by Mr. Chen. Mo Luo did not ask Mr. Chen where he went and what he was doing. Now he just tidied up the inside and outside of the house, waiting for Mr. Chen to come back tomorrow.

On the Lantern Festival, the 15th day of the first lunar month, the city is very lively, and Moluo also has heavy patrol tasks today. When these festivals come, both the army in the palace and the guards in the officials' mansions must be in high spirits.

Several government offices are in charge of several main roads in Kyoto City, and they must patrol these streets in batches.

The last time Mara patrolled was on the Yuanri Festival.

Today's Lantern Festival is the last day of the curfew. After today, the curfew will be implemented again in Kyoto City.

Especially many people came out on the last day. After completing a patrol, Mo Luo left the Duke of Zhou's mansion and returned to the house.

She was not interested in the bustle of people on the street. She had already memorized this section of the Iron Fan Heart Sutra and was waiting for Mr. Chen to come back and teach her.

When I walked to the door of the house, I saw several men standing there, wearing white hats and curtains.

When Mo Luo walked in, he discovered that the three people were none other than Qiao Runzhi, Jichen and Daner.

"Why are you here?"

"The Wife!"

After not seeing Mo Luo for a long time, Ji Chen was as excited as ever. He ran forward a few steps and threw himself into Mo Luo's arms. Qiao Runzhi and Dan'er took a few steps forward, but it was Qiao Runzhi who spoke first:
"Today is the Lantern Festival, and my wife has not come to see us recently. Today is the day of reunion, so we will come over and prepare some food to share with you."

"Yes, Wife, do you know that I asked Brother Xicai to lure my brother away with great difficulty, and then I sneaked out secretly with Brother Runzhi and Brother Dan'er!"

Jichen looked at Mo Luo with a pair of big and moist eyes, as if he had thousands of grievances to express:

"Why did my wife leave us there and never come back? I thought my wife didn't want us anymore. My brother has been catching me reading my homework these days, and I didn't even have time to sneak out to find my wife."

Mo Luo helplessly wiped Ji Chen's head to express comfort, and the four of them entered the room. Qiao Runzhi placed the prepared meals on the table and prepared to use chopsticks.

Only then did Mara ask:

"How are you doing during this time?"

Jichen nodded and said seriously:

"A very good wife. You don't know that Sister Ruan's house has a lot of delicious food and fun. Sister Ruan is also a very nice person. She often comes to talk to us. Especially my brother likes Sister Ruan. They chat for a long time.

Um...um..."

At this time, Dan'er kicked Jichen under the table. Jichen groaned in pain, and then heard Dan'er say:

"I can't stop your mouth even if I eat."

"It's okay Dan'er, as long as Miss Ruan is nice to you."

Jichen also realized that what he just said was inappropriate, so he looked at Mo Luo anxiously and said:

"Master Wife, you... I didn't mean that. Although Sister Ruan is very kind to us, I still like Master Wife the most!"

Mo Luo just nodded seriously, indicating that he understood, but in fact he did not take Ji Chen's words to heart.

Qiao Runzhi glanced around and saw that the objects around him were no different from when they left, so he said to Mo Luo:

"Nothing has changed here at all. You should remember to buy some supplies when you are at home alone, and don't treat yourself harshly."

The treatment in Ruan Qingliu's mansion is obviously very good. Mo Luo knew it from the first moment he saw Ji Chen. He has grown a little taller now and is almost as tall as Mo Luo. He is also wearing better clothes than before.

Much better.

However, Dan'er and Qiao Runzhi were still wearing the same clothes as before. Mo Luo looked at it and wondered whether Ruan Qingliu was more partial to Ji Chen.

Or Ruan Qingliu had prepared clothes for everyone, but Qiao Runzhi and Dan'er didn't wear them.

As for whether they didn't wear new clothes from beginning to end or whether they didn't wear them just to see her, Mara didn't look into it at all.

"How is Wang Yi doing lately?"

Listening to Ji Chen and Dan'er talking to each other between the dinner tables, Mo Luo suddenly thought of Wang Yi, the man who looked enchanting but felt sad in the evening before leaving.

"Wang Yi was picked up by people in the palace."

Qiao Runzhi put down his chopsticks and said seriously:

"Just yesterday, it seemed that Nangong Tou requested it. The people in the palace seemed to be respectful to Wang Yi."

"Half a month has passed since Nangong Tou left. After being away for such a long time, he must have adapted to the palace during this period, and gained the trust of Her Majesty the Queen in order to take his personal servant back."

After listening to Mara's words, Dan'er sighed and said:

"Yeah, it's been so long. I wonder when my wife will let us come back?"

In fact, Qiao Runzhi and Ji Chen also wanted to ask this question. At this time, they couldn't help but stop their chopsticks and stare at Mo Luo.
