Chapter 210 Is Princess Consort not welcoming this prince?
Luo Lixian not only paled, but her eyes also blazed with anger at his cold laughter. "Are you here to acknowledge me as your sister or to harm me? If you don't want to acknowledge me as your sister, you can just say so!"
She admitted that she was vain, and whether it was her affair with Wei Yonghuai or her acceptance of the Crown Prince's manipulation, it was all for the sake of a life free from worries about food and clothing.
But she's not a fool who can be easily manipulated!
They offer nothing in return, yet they immediately try to exploit her, showing no regard for blood ties and kinship, blatantly using her as a weapon!
Perhaps not expecting her to have such a temper, Mo Qianxiao couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
However, the mocking smile on his lips did not disappear. "Speak, what do you want? Before I came, Father and Mother had already told me that, considering how much you have suffered outside over the years, we will give you whatever we can as long as you ask."
Luo Lixian clenched her fists tightly and asked through gritted teeth, "Tell me the purpose of your trip?"
Mo Qianxiao stood up, walked up to her with his hands behind his back, and looked her up and down with disdain as he said in a low voice, "As I just said, the Northern Lin Kingdom and the Great Ye Kingdom have been at war for decades. As a princess of the Northern Lin Kingdom, you should be loyal to the Northern Lin Kingdom to repay the kindness of your father and mother. As for how you will do it, that will naturally depend on your ability and methods."
Faced with the oppressive aura emanating from him, Luo Lixian trembled violently, her tightly clenched teeth chattering.
She endured humiliation and hardship in the Kingdom of Ye, waiting for the day her family would come to take her away, and from then on, she could have whatever she wanted—gold and silver, silk and satin, status and wealth…
She longed for the day when she would transform herself, no longer being the shameless woman others spoke of, but becoming a noble princess, high above everyone else, someone others could only look up to.
But the man in front of her was her own brother, and with just a few words, he shattered her long-cherished dream. He even brazenly and shamelessly used her, taking advantage of their familial bond, to manipulate her, his own sister, into becoming a spy!
They didn't even ask her how she'd been doing all these years!
"What if I don't do it?"
"Heh!" Mo Qianxiao let out a mocking laugh. "As far as I know, the Crown Prince you rely on has been deposed, and you'll never have a chance to rise again. The Emperor of Daye hasn't touched you because you are the fifth princess of Beilin who was abandoned abroad. Tell me, if I told the Emperor of Daye that you are not the fifth princess of Beilin, how would he deal with you?"
Luo Lixian glared at her beautiful eyes and said angrily, "I'm still your own sister, how can you be so cold-hearted?"
Mo Qianxiao's mocking laughter never stopped, and his words were even more blunt, "Although you are of royal blood from my Northern Lin Kingdom, you should have an incomparably noble status and position. However, you have been away from home since childhood. It is said that you were not only married, but also had an affair with your sworn brother after your husband's death, and at the same time, you were also a concubine of the Crown Prince. Tell me, with all your past, which one of you is respectable?"
"The fact that your father and mother are still willing to acknowledge you is the greatest favor they can bestow upon you. If you are willing to serve the Northern Lin Kingdom, although you may not necessarily return to the Northern Lin Kingdom, we will make up for all the riches and honors we have owed you over the years. If you unfortunately die one day, based on your loyalty to the Northern Lin Kingdom, we will also give you a grand funeral."
His words pierced Luo Lixian's heart like knives, causing her so much pain she could barely stand. Looking at her so-called brother, her eyes red and filled with resentment, she asked, "Don't you feel any pity for me? I'm your long-lost sister! Do you think I wanted what happened? From as far back as I can remember, I've lived like an ant, never having enough to eat or wear, and countless times nearly dying in desolate places… Wasn't all of this caused by you?"
However, upon hearing her words filled with grief and indignation, Mo Qianxiao said dismissively, "I said I would compensate you; you can have whatever you want."
She can have anything she wants?
Luo Lixian burst into tears instantly.
She just wants to go home!
Like any other child, she has the love of her parents, the care of her siblings, and the warmth of family affection in her home!
However, at this point, she could no longer voice her true desires...
She hadn't even met her biological parents yet, and they already disliked her!
Mo Qianxiao remained unmoved by her tears and continued, "I will not force you; you can decide for yourself how to choose. However, I must remind you that even if you grew up in Beilin Kingdom and did not have those dirty experiences, as a princess, you have a specific mission from the day you are born, without exception. Compared to other princesses, you are lucky; at least you have the opportunity to choose."
As Luo Lixian cried, she suddenly laughed, "Really? Then I should thank you for leaving me behind?"
Seemingly disgusted by her crying, Mo Qianxiao took two steps back, then winked at the lady.
The woman understood and walked to the table.
There was a wooden tray on the table, covered with a red cloth. She pulled off the cloth, revealing dozens of gold ingots. Then she picked up the tray and walked to Luo Lixian's side, saying, "Fifth Princess, this was prepared for you by the Fourth Prince."
Looking at the neatly stacked gold nuggets, Luo Lixian's tears rolled down even more.
This was the first time in her life she had ever seen such gold...
But at this moment, she felt no joy, no excitement, no happiness...
Some of them are simply ridiculous!
……
Outside the post station.
Knowing that Luo Lixian was coming to the inn to meet her relatives today, Ye Shishu specially followed Yuchi Ling out to watch the excitement.
As soon as they arrived at the inn, they saw Luo Lixian and a tall man come out from inside.
The man wore a jade crown and brocade robe, exuding a cold and arrogant aura. Ye Shishu could guess his identity without even asking.
This is the fourth prince of Beilin Kingdom!
Upon seeing the couple, Luo Lixian was taken aback for a moment, but then respectfully stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness Prince Cheng, Greetings, Princess Cheng."
Ye Shishu loathed her, but since Luo Lixian's status was now extraordinary, she could only suppress her disgust and, looking at Luo Lixian's swollen eyes, asked with a forced smile, "Has the Fifth Princess reunited with her brother? Congratulations!"
Luo Lixian turned her head to look at Mo Qianxiao beside her, and smiled shyly.
Seeing the people from Beilin Kingdom leading a carriage out of the backyard, Ye Shishu casually asked, "The Fifth Princess has just reunited with her brother, where are you going?"
Luo Lixian said, "My fourth brother is new to the Great Ye Kingdom and wants to see its prosperity. I plan to take him to Ziqiong Manor, where there is abundant food and many entertainment options. I believe my fourth brother will like it."
It didn't matter that Ye Shishu kept talking, but after hearing what she said, her face couldn't help but fall.
They really know how to pick a location!
While they were talking, Mo Qianxiao discreetly observed Yu Chiling and Ye Shishu.
Seeing Ye Shishu's strange expression, he chuckled and asked, "Is this Princess Consort Cheng? What, is Princess Consort Cheng not welcoming this prince?"
