From the very beginning, Mo Liancheng believed that she entered the Eighth Prince's mansion with a purpose, and he has even entertained thoughts of killing her, hasn't he? If trust is lacking between people from the start, achieving it later becomes quite difficult. Unless something significant happens, changing the initial suspicion.
But currently, she hasn't done anything.
She wouldn't be naive enough to think that Mo Liancheng already trusted her...
"Eighth Sister-in-law, guess." Mo Jingxuan had no intention of letting her off and insisted on making her say a name.
"It definitely won't be you anyway," Qu Tan'er replied casually.
"Indeed, it won't be him," Mo Liancheng glanced at her and continued painting.
He didn't pursue the topic further, and the conversation ended there.
"Do you remember what happened half a month ago, Fourteenth Brother?" Qu Tan'er raised her head slightly, smiling at Mo Jingxuan.
"Cough, Eighth Sister-in-law, there's no need to bring it up. I remember it very clearly." Mo Jingxuan's facial muscles twitched, seemingly still bothered by the recent incident and not wanting to mention it.
"Dare to make another bet?" Qu Tan'er laughed lightly, satisfied with Mo Jingxuan's reaction. At least she had succeeded halfway.
"What kind of bet?" Mo Jingxuan also became interested but quickly changed his mind and said, "I heard Eighth Sister-in-law has just recovered from a serious illness and is not in good health... forget it." He had heard about the events of the past seven days and had come personally, but was blocked outside the Snow Courtyard by Yu Hao.
Qu Tan'er's mouth twitched, "Do I look like I'm sick today?"
"Not at all!" Mo Jingxuan suddenly brightened.
"Then, are you willing to bet?" Qu Tan'er smiled slyly, tempting Mo Jingxuan.
"There's nothing I won't bet on. Eighth Brother, right?" Mo Jingxuan wasn't stupid and consciously shifted the focus to Mo Liancheng, expecting him to give some advice.
"Indeed," Mo Liancheng's painting hand paused for a moment, and his phoenix eyes slightly moved. Was she happy because of this? Not because of the arrival of the Fourteenth Prince... His brow eased slowly, and he glanced at them before continuing with his work.
"How about sticking to the original bet method? My requirement is still leaving the residence, but not just once. It should be an order to leave the residence at will in the future," Qu Tan'er also became clever, making the conditions clear and leaving no room for Mo Liancheng to find loopholes.
"Eighth Sister-in-law, why do you want to leave the residence so much?" Mo Jingxuan asked.
"Sorry, cannot disclose. Will you bet or not?"
"I'll bet! Eighth Brother, you won't object, will you?" Mo Jingxuan couldn't wait to get started, but considering Mo Liancheng's presence, he didn't want to be too obvious.
"Leave the mansion seven times."
"I want an order to leave the residence at will." Seven... again? Does this man have a special affinity for the number seven?
"Perhaps you don't want it even once." Mo Liancheng raised an eyebrow lightly, showing no interest in her bargaining, and once he spoke, there was never a possibility of changing his words.
"Okay, seven times it is. Words spoken must be honored," Qu Tan'er gritted her teeth. Although the result wasn't what she initially expected, she could reluctantly accept it. In any case, she would figure out the number of times she would leave the residence later.
"I still want that soul-suppressing pearl," Mo Liancheng added.
"Deal."
"Eighth Sister-in-law, you should prepare. I don't believe you can't be found this time," Mo Jingxuan was eager, showing impatience.
