Chapter 989 He Has a Problem

Ajing well. These years, he has had a hard time. It's all my fault as your aunt. I haven't been able to protect him."As she said this, Mrs. Xiao's eyes were gradually reddening, with tears glistening...In the end, An Xuetang still went with him.

After all, the two of them haven't had much time together these past few days.

Mo Yunjing took An Xuetang to a tall building in the capital city. This place was indeed a good spot for viewing the city.

An Xuetang stood by the window, and with one glance, she could see almost all of Beijing's prosperity.

As a person from the 21st century, An Xuetang had seen the most prosperous places and climbed the tallest buildings in the world. Yet, looking at the scenery below, she still felt a unique sense of peace and tranquility.

Perhaps because she had someone to care for here, the person she loved most and wanted to protect most, that's why she thought the scenery here was more beautiful than anywhere in modern times.

Mo Yunjing stood behind her, waiting for a while until she looked back. He then walked closer, pulling her into his embrace from behind.

A rare moment of peace, the two just stared into the distance, words failing them for a time.

He stood for an unknown length of time, and Mo Yunjing was afraid that An Xuetang would get tired of standing, so he led her to sit down beside him.

Considering that she was pregnant, An Xuetang behaved obediently at this time.

No sooner had the two sat down than An Xue Tang, for some reason she couldn't tell, called Ning'er, who was guarding outside the door, in.

"What are your orders, Your Highness"

An Xuetang's expression was thoughtful. She lightly tapped the table with her right hand and then looked at Ning'er, "Ning'er, find someone with good light work and have them keep an eye on that itinerant master these days. Try to be careful and don't let him notice."

Ning'er nodded slightly, "Yes."

As for the arrangements made by An Xuetang, Mo Yunjing had no objections. Even if An Xuetang hadn't arranged anything, his people would still be keeping an eye on Huayuan.

After Ning'er left, An Xue Tang looked at Mo Yun Jing, "A-Jing isn't curious why I did this"

Mo Yunjing reached out and gently rubbed her long hair, "I believe in you."

Three words, gave her enough sense of security.

As for his attitude, An Xue Tang was very satisfied. She smiled at this moment and finally expressed her own thoughts:

As for his begging, I didn't believe him entirely. The stories he told about my mother seemed to be a mixture of truth and fiction. There was definitely more to it than what he said, so I wanted to keep an eye on him and see if he would slip up.

Mo Yunjing raised an eyebrow, "Why do you think there's something wrong with him"

"Um... maybe it's a woman's intuition"

If you asked her to be specific, she couldn't really say. She just had a subconscious feeling that something was wrong with the person begging for alms when she saw him.

Just like when he said in the reception hall of the palace earlier, expressing envy for her and Mo Yunjing's relationship. How could a monk envy the feelings of ordinary people

If he were a normal monk, he would never have said such things.

And his attentiveness to Shuangshuang, is he truly caring for the children born to the former empress out of guilt

In her opinion, there must be more to it than that which captured his attention.

But she couldn't say what exactly it was.

Mò Yúnjǐng's lips curled up slightly, "He does have some issues."

"Huh"

An Xue Tang narrowed her eyes, "A Jing, did you find any differences"

Just like with Tangtang, there's no concrete evidence, but I just instinctively don't trust him.

An Xuetang chuckled, apparently both of them had thought the same thing.

Mo Yunjing's lips also curled slightly, pulling her into his arms. "Just leave it to me, don't worry about it."

She's had her hands full lately.

An Xuetang looked up at him, and Mo Yunjing took the opportunity to lower his head and kiss her on the lips. The two smiled at each other.

……

On the other hand, after leaving Beijang Wangfu, Huayuan did not immediately return to Jinchuan Temple, nor did he leave the capital.

No one knew what he was trying to do. He wandered around several streets in the capital before returning to the vicinity of Bei Jiang Wangfu.

He tried not to enter the palace through the main gate, but when he found that the guards outside were more heavily fortified than he had imagined, he thought about it and still gave up entering the Beijiang Palace again.

……

As for what An Xuetang and Mo Yunjing have done regarding begging for alms, there has been no news yet.

At this moment, inside the pavilion, the two held each other for a while. An Xue Tang then suddenly asked Mo Yun Jing, "Ajing, what are your plans for Shuangshuang Should we give her an identity"

As for the child, Shuangshuang, she has lived in the palace for a while now. But Mo Yunjing and she have never given her a status.

Although no one in the household would treat Shuangshuang as a maid, if she wanted to stay in the manor openly and legally, she still needed an official position.

After hearing An Xue Tang's words, Mo Yun Jing reached out to smooth her delicate hair behind her ear, pondered for a moment before speaking, "How do you want to solve this, Sugar"

An Xuetang raised an eyebrow, knowing he would push the question to her.

But she also thought it was time to settle the issue of Shuangshuang's identity. Otherwise, with the child living in the palace and always feeling unsettled, it wouldn't be good.

"However, Mo Yun Jing's identity isn't suitable for being called sister. After thinking about it, she said to him, 'I recognize Shuangshuang as my younger sister. What do you think, A Jing' "

"Very good."

"..."

"An Xuetang laughed, "I think you already had it figured out, didn't you You even made me think about it myself.""

Mo Yunjing also had a smile at the corner of his mouth, "I have to let you be willing. If I propose it myself, and if you are unwilling, you might agree because of me. I don't want you to be wronged."

As for Shuangshuang, this girl with eyes that resembled her mother's, he did indeed want to arrange a good status for her. But the premise of the arrangement was that An Xuetang couldn't be wronged.

Upon hearing Mo Yun Jing's explanation, An Xue Tang was naturally very satisfied. "Good, then after we return to the mansion, we'll ask her about it. If she is willing, I will instruct the household to henceforth allow her to be known as a princess of the Wangfu."

"Well."

This solution is the best one for now, actually. Perhaps if we hadn't investigated Shuangshuang's background, we could have avoided many awkward situations.

For example, if it turns out that Shuangshuang and Moyunjing are truly half-siblings, then not only will their relationship not progress further, but their status would actually worsen.

After all, if the two of them are truly half-siblings, it means that the story they told through adoption is most likely true.

Those women are... the daughters of rapists. Does she even have the face to be in the palace

So, the ambiguous origins I have at the moment are actually quite nice.

Mo Yunjing perhaps thought of the story Huayuan once told him. A hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

He didn't want An Xuetang to see it, lest it affect her mood.

The two spent a little while longer looking out from the attic before heading back.

Just back to Jingtang Garden, Yun Si came looking for Mo Yunjing.

An Xuetang patted Mo Yunjing's shoulder, "You go solve whatever you have to deal with first. I'll have Ning'er bring Shuangshuang to see me, and I'll try to get some information from her."

"Good."

……

Mo Yunjing and Yun Si went to the study. Yun Si then bowed and said, "Your Highness, news has come from Beijang that the young master is injured."e.She clutched the woman's neck in one hand, and with the other ripped off the flesh mask from her face.The mask was quickly torn away, and Shi Fourteen walked over at that moment. Without a word, he...
