She got out of bed. Before she took two steps, she felt weak all over. In a daze, she almost fell to the ground.
"Awake?"
A man pushed the door open. He had already taken off his mask. The face in front of her seemed familiar. It looked so much like Rong Xun that if you didn't look closely, you might really mistake him for Rong Xun.
"Are you Mo Lingxuan?" She remembered that she had met him a few times before. Because he looked like Rong Xun, she paid more attention to him. She never expected that this man was actually the supreme leader of the Mo Clan.
"I'm glad you still remember me, miss. You haven't eaten for two days. Must be hungry."
He clapped his hands, and the maids behind him carried in all the meals and neatly arranged them on the table. Each dish was a delicacy, and the wafting aroma made one's mouth water.
"Eat. These are all prepared for you."
Tang Youyou stared at him suspiciously. Although she had met this man a few times and talked to him a few words, now she was a prisoner. Could the account of her breaking into the Qiling Manor just be let go like this? Or was this meal the last meal before sending her off?
"Brother Mo is really generous. I broke into the Qiling Manor without permission. Now I'm a sinner in the manor. Isn't it inappropriate for you to treat me like this?"
She didn't know what this man was up to. She had not had much contact with him and knew very little about him. It was better to be careful.
Mo Lingxuan smiled softly. He took off his black cloak and put it on her. He said in a soft voice, "Is Miss Tang worried that I've put drugs in the food?"
She didn't expect this man to be so straightforward and not shy away from it. She said bluntly, "Sure I am. Now I'm a prisoner in the Qiling Manor. If you want me to die, do you think I have any room to resist?"
She glanced out through the crack of the door. The yard, which had been empty before, was now full of guards. Each of them was tall and strong. All her poison and weapons were gone. With her injured and weak body, not to mention going down the mountain, she might not even be able to get out of this door.
"Your wounds haven't healed yet. You can't eat meat. These may look like meat dishes, but actually they're all made of vegetarian food. You can rest assured."
She saw that this man was so considerate to her. Instead of feeling relieved, she felt a chill in her heart. She didn't pick up the chopsticks for a long time, but her stomach, which had been protesting for a long time, made an embarrassing sound.
Mo Lingxuan knew what she was worried about and didn't mind. He picked up the chopsticks and tasted each dish one by one before putting them down.
"Are you relieved now?"
Tang Youyou nodded in surprise. What on earth was this man up to? If he didn't mean to kill her, why didn't he just let her go?
For now, it was important to fill her stomach first. After she regained her strength, she could think about how to escape.
Although these were all vegetarian dishes, they tasted almost the same as meat. She was very satisfied with this meal. The only thing she wasn't satisfied with was that this man had been sitting on the couch staring at her.
"Um, aren't you going to eat with me?"
Tang Youyou was a carefree person, but it didn't mean she didn't mind being stared at while eating. This feeling was really strange. She always felt that this man might stab her in the back suddenly.
Mo Lingxuan walked over and sat down opposite her. He propped his chin up with one hand and looked at her with a smile in his eyes. "What? Do you want me to eat with you?"
Tang Youyou thought this man not only looked like Rong Xun but also sounded so much like him.
"Eat or not, it's up to you."
After she finished her dinner, she asked directly, "Come on, tell me."
"Tell you what?"
"How do you plan to deal with me?" Tang Youyou didn't delude herself into thinking that they would let her go easily.
She saw Mo Lingxuan wave his hand at her. She leaned forward suspiciously, but unexpectedly, he pulled her over. She sat on his lap. She struggled to get up, but he held her tighter.
"What are you doing!"
"I saved you. Aren't you going to marry me in return?"
Mo Lingxuan's warm breath touched the sensitive area behind her ear. Instantly, she shivered all over.
"I'm already married. Isn't this inappropriate?"
If she had a direct conflict with this man, she would only be the one to suffer. If he was satisfied with her appearance, maybe she could take advantage of it.
"What's inappropriate? This is just perfect."
He stared at the delicate and fair ear in front of him and couldn't help but take a light bite. The person in his arms was like a frightened fawn. Her ear and neck blushed.
Although Tang Youyou liked good - looking men, she always put Rong Xun first. For a moment, shame filled most of her heart. She didn't know where the strength came from, but she broke free from the man's restraint and turned around to slap him hard in the face.
"Shameless!"
Half of Mo Lingxuan's face turned red. One could tell how powerful this slap was.
She originally thought this man would execute her or torture her, but his reaction was unexpected.
This man seemed to be crazy or have his head squeezed by a door. He actually laughed.
"This is great."
Tang Youyou had never seen such a strange person. Instead of getting angry after being slapped, he was very happy.
Did he develop some special hobby?
She missed her Rong Xun. She regretted that she hadn't left any information before leaving.
"Supreme Leader, your mother asks you to go there. Miss Lin is back."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Finally, this man was leaving. She could think about what to do next and how to escape from the Qiling Manor.
"Stay here and don't run around. I'll come to see you later."
After Mo Lingxuan left, Tang Youyou lay on the door. After she heard that the footsteps outside had disappeared, she opened the door to take a look. Unexpectedly, the eyes of those guards all fell on her at the same time.
"You scared me to death."
She immediately closed the door and searched the room to see if there was any poison she had brought with her before. But after searching again and again, she didn't even see a shadow of it.
How could she escape? Was she going to be imprisoned here forever? What was the difference between this and the Cold Palace? Although the environment here was indeed much better than the Cold Palace.
Not long after, a woman pushed the door open. Tang Youyou sat up from the bed and looked up. She seemed to have seen this woman somewhere. Wasn't this the beautiful woman who had led the soldiers to surround her at that time?
Unexpectedly, this beautiful woman came up and slapped her in the face. But Tang Youyou, who had regained her strength, didn't give her a chance. She firmly held her wrist and threw her to one side.
"Slut!"
"Why are you scolding people for no reason?" Tang Youyou stood up disdainfully, poured a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.
"Vixen, what kind of sorcery did you use to make the Supreme Leader infatuated with you?"
Tang Youyou waved her hand and looked innocent. "I'm not a vixen, and I don't know any sorcery. If you ask me why, maybe it's because I'm just very charming. Unlike you, who comes up and slaps people and scolds them. If I were him, I wouldn't like a person like you either."
