Jie Wai, Mo Yunwei

Apart from Emperor Beichen, when did another nobleman emerge for Hongzhuang?

A big question mark appeared in Xia Zhiqing's mind. This didn't make sense. She had known Hongzhuang for a long time and had never heard of this Mister Mo before.

Listening to Mo Yunhuan's affirmative answer, the expressions on the faces of Nangong Xiu Jie and Nangong Yu Jin turned unpleasant. No wonder Baili Hongzhuang had been so arrogant earlier. It turned out she was relying on the support of Mo Yunjue!

Nangong Xiu Jie and Nangong Yu Jin exchanged a glance. It seemed that they couldn't turn the tables today.

In their eyes, Mo Yunjue was a special existence, just like this First Floor was a special existence in the imperial city.

Initially, they thought Mo Yunjue was just an ordinary merchant. When they wanted to bring the chef from the First Floor into the palace to serve as the imperial chef and the chef refused, they had wanted to kill him.

But unexpectedly, the Emperor had let the chef go and even warned them not to provoke Mo Yunjue no matter what.

The Emperor's hidden fear of Mo Yunjue was evident, and they found it unbelievable.

The Emperor's power was formidable, and the other party was just a restaurant owner. Yet, he could make the Emperor so wary. It showed that the other party was not an ordinary person.

Both Nangong Xiu Jie and Nangong Yu Jin were not fools. Therefore, since then, they treated Mo Yunjue with deference and never caused any conflicts.

"Since you are Mo's wife, I naturally won't make an issue of it," Nangong Xiu Jie said slowly.

Seeing the sudden change in Nangong Xiu Jie's attitude, a look of surprise appeared in the eyes of Baili Hongzhuang and the others.

This change was too sudden!

"What is the identity of this Mister Mo? Both princes are so wary of him."

Dongfang Yu's eyes flickered with unease. Could it be that they had jumped from the wolf's den into the tiger's mouth?

After all, Mister Mo wouldn't help them without any reason...

Gong Shaoqing's expression also grew heavy. When he faced the two princes earlier, he wasn't as worried as he was now. The sudden appearance of Mister Mo made him even more unpredictable.

"I don't know. Let's wait and see."

"I accidentally broke the table. Waiter, charge it to my account," Nangong Xiu Jie spoke up. "Yu Jin and I have some other matters to attend to, so we'll leave first."

"This table was already in bad condition. The Second Prince merely helped me get rid of it. How can it be counted against the Second Prince?" Mo Yunjue's lips curved into a faint smile, but there was no change in his emotions deep in his eyes.

"The next time the Second Prince and the Third Prince come to this First Floor, everything will be free. I hope the two princes come often."

Seeing that Mo Yunjue had given them a way out, Nangong Xiu Jie's expression improved. "Then, thank you, Mister Mo."

With that, Nangong Xiu Jie and Nangong Yu Jin no longer wished to linger in the First Floor for another moment. Today's incident was truly embarrassing!

After they exited the main door of the First Floor, Nangong Yu Jin's face turned gloomy. "What bad luck! I didn't expect such a thing to happen!"

At this moment, he deeply regretted his actions. He had thought he would have good fortune today, but not only did he not gain any good fortune, he also lost face!

Nangong Xiu Jie's expression became even more unpleasant. "Yu Jin, do you think that Baili Hongzhuang is truly Mo Yunjue's wife?"

"I don't know." Nangong Yu Jin shook his head. "If not, then why would he help Baili Hongzhuang?"
