#504 - Ask Mo

Chapter 503: Wenmo, Ah.

Qi State, An Nan Duke's Residence.

A woman dressed in a white-pink long dress was by a small lake, watching the fish swim back and forth in the lake.

The woman held fish food in her hand, scattering it from time to time.

More and more fish swam towards the woman, piling up under the bridge, one on top of the other.

Even though these koi were all very plump, not looking hungry at all, they seemed insatiable, always wanting to eat more.

After scattering all the fish food in her hand,

the woman stared blankly at the koi in the lake.

However,

although the woman's eyes reflected the koi, her mind was not on them at all.

Her thoughts wandered, drifting to who knows where.

"I say, little sister, all you do all day is feed fish, read books, or listen to music. Can you go on a blind date? You're already a grown woman."

An Nan Duke's eldest son, Nan Kun, walked over and said to his sister.

Nan Wenmo, one of the two great talents of Qi State, glanced at her brother and rolled her eyes: "Feeding fish, reading books, listening to music, these are all things I want to do. Blind dates are not something I want to do. Since that's the case, why should I go? To make myself uncomfortable?"

Nan Kun's brow twitched: "What you say makes sense, but little sister, you're not getting any younger. If you don't marry, you really won't be able to marry anyone off. You're going to become an old maid."

Nan Kun was a little worried.

His siblings were all married, except for his little sister.

Actually, Nan Kun knew why his little sister didn't go on blind dates.

It was all because of that man from Wu State, the current Prime Minister of Wu State.

Nan Kun actually admired the Prime Minister of Wu State quite a bit.

Not only did he admire him, but His Majesty also admired him very much, so he extended an olive branch to Xiao Mo Chi, and it was a very thick olive branch, offering a condition that most Confucian disciples could not refuse.

If Xiao Mo Chi came to Qi State, he would not only be able to display his talent and ambition, but he could even marry his sister.

But Xiao Mo Chi refused, and he refused very decisively, even without leaving any room for discussion.

Now.

Xiao Mo Chi is the Prime Minister of Wu State, and his little sister is the daughter of An Nan Duke, one of the two most famous talents in Qi State. How could she possibly be with Xiao Mo Chi?

If his little sister disregarded everything and was with Xiao Mo Chi, she might actually be removed from the family tree.

"If I can't marry, then I can't marry. I didn't think about getting married anyway. Besides, what are you saying, brother? How did I become an old maid?

According to my current lifespan based on my cultivation realm, I should still be considered a young girl, right?

Moreover, don't you have a second brother, you and third brother, to carry on the family line? Fourth brother is fine too. It's not my turn at all. Whether I marry or not doesn't really matter."

Nan Wenmo said in a lighthearted tone, refuting everything her elder brother said.

"Sigh, it's not about carrying on the family line, but it's just that you're a girl, you can't possibly stay like this forever..."

"Miss, there's a letter for you."

Just as Nan Kun was halfway through his sentence, a maid walked over and handed a letter to Nan Wenmo.

Nan Wenmo took the letter from the maid and opened it to take a look.

The more she looked, the more Nan Wenmo frowned, and her lips were tightly pursed.

Nan Kun looked at his sister's expression, his expression carrying a bit of solemnity.

If Nan Kun felt that he hadn't guessed wrong, then this letter should be from Wu State.

More accurately, this letter should be about that Prime Minister of Wu State.

Nan Kun knew that in Wu State, his sister had many friends, and those friends were even members of the Wu State court, and even a prince.

That prince was also Xiao Mo Chi's good brother.

That prince had been entrusted by his sister to sometimes write letters to his sister, telling her about some of the things that had happened to Xiao Mo Chi recently.

After reading the letter, Nan Wenmo put away the envelope and looked at Nan Kun seriously: "Brother, I'm going to Wu State."

"? ? ?"

Question marks popped up on Nan Kun's head, wondering if he had misheard.

"Little sister, aren't you clear about one thing? You're still under house arrest. Not to mention Wu State, you can't even leave the imperial capital.

And have you forgotten what mother said before? If you go to find Xiao Mo Chi again, she won't recognize you as her daughter."

"So, I need your help, brother." Nan Wenmo smiled.

"No, no! I refuse!" Nan Kun refused his sister's request without even thinking.

His sister rarely asked him for help, but whenever his sister asked him for help, nothing good ever came of it, let alone at a time like this.

"Brother, please help me, just this once, just once. I've never asked you for anything. Last time when you went to the brothel to discuss the Dao of Qin with that flower girl, she even gave you cover.

If that matter is known by your wife, you probably won't be able to enter the room for a month."

Nan Wenmo shook Nan Kun's arm coquettishly.

If it was facing his wife's coquetry, Nan Kun wouldn't feel anything.

But facing his sister's coquetry, Nan Kun felt that he really couldn't stand it.

But even if he couldn't stand it, he had to stand it.

What if something happened to Wenmo? Then wouldn't I blame myself for the rest of my life?

"No!" Nan Kun closed his eyes and hardened his heart, "Absolutely not! I can agree to other things, but this one thing I can't! Even if you tell your wife about me going to the brothel, I can't possibly give you cover. What if something happens to you? Then I'll regret it for the rest of my life."

"I won't get into trouble, brother, don't worry."

When Nan Wenmo said these words, Nan Kun looked at Nan Wenmo with an incredulous expression, as if to say, "Do you believe it yourself when you say these words?"

"Brother! You have to agree to me today! Let me tell you, I can do anything!" Nan Wenmo directly used her last resort.

"You, hey?"

At this moment, Nan Kun realized that something was wrong with his sister.

Nan Kun reached out and pointed at his sister's brow.

The originally clever and eccentric sister had already turned into a paper doll.

"Wenmo, ah..."

Nan Kun sighed, shook his head, and looked into the distance.

Outside the imperial capital of Qi State, Nan Wenmo rode the wind with a flipping book, disappearing into the horizon.
