Her elder sister steals her husband? She marries the God of War and is pampered beyond measure!

Chapter 251 You're Not Right for Me

Su Mowan brought the Seventh Princess back to the Qin Prince's Mansion.

The Seventh Princess has been frequently visiting the Prince Qin's residence lately, sneaking out every now and then. Su Mowan wasn't annoyed by this, but she felt it wasn't quite right.

However, whenever the Seventh Princess told Murong Jing that she wanted to stay and keep him company, Murong Jing would stop telling her to leave.

For example, this time, the Seventh Princess probably won't leave unless she stays for a couple of days.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of the Prince of Qin's mansion, the Seventh Princess jumped down first, and then turned around to help Su Mowan with great care.

Su Mowan was faking her pregnancy and was naturally a little embarrassed, but seeing the Seventh Princess's expression, she had no choice but to continue the charade.

After they went downstairs, the Seventh Princess held her hand and wouldn't let go, carefully protecting her as they walked into the mansion. Yinshuang, who was following behind, watched this scene with a very complicated expression.

Upon arriving at Fenghua Palace, Yinshuang returned to Huangfeng Garden first, while the Seventh Princess pulled Su Mowan directly towards the study.

This time, Su Mowan didn't go in directly; she also stopped the Seventh Princess, who was about to rush in.

She vaguely heard Murong Jing and Feng Yue talking inside, which must be confidential, so she decided to wait a while.

The Seventh Princess, however, couldn't wait any longer and coughed lightly outside the door.

The sounds inside immediately stopped.

A short while later, Feng Yue opened the door to the study and was somewhat surprised to see the Seventh Princess outside. He respectfully invited the two of them in.

Su Mowan didn't take a step immediately, so the Seventh Princess pulled her along, urging her to hurry up and leave.

Seeing Feng Yue's slightly serious expression, Su Mowan knew that the two of them must have been discussing something important.

I wonder if Murong Jing will be unhappy if I interrupted him so abruptly.

Su Mowan was simply accompanying the Seventh Princess; she had no reason to insist on seeing Murong Jing.

Upon entering the study, one sees Murong Jing's wheelchair parked against the wall, with a large painting hanging on the wall.

It is a topographical map of the five countries.

Su Mowan glanced at the map casually and saw that Liu Xia and Yan Xue were circled in vermilion ink, the bright red color almost glaring.

The Seventh Princess finally let go of her hand, walked over happily, and stood next to Murong Jing.

Her voice was sweet and clear: "Third brother, are you going to have another war to fight?"

"Why are you here?"

Murong Jing was speaking to Su Mowan, completely ignoring the Seventh Princess.

The Seventh Princess was blatantly ignored and became somewhat unhappy. She turned to look at Su Mowan, pouted, and expressed her dissatisfaction.

Murong Jing stared straight at her, and Su Mowan suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

She looked away and said, "It's nothing. The Seventh Princess just said she missed you and wanted to come and see you. Now that she's seen you, Seventh Princess, let's go."

The seventh princess was somewhat displeased.

She still needed to ask her third brother about Brother Mo Bai! How could she leave so easily!

Murong Jing knew that Su Mowan had figured out they were discussing secret war plans, which was why she wanted to leave.

He glanced at Feng Yue and gestured for him to take the Seventh Princess away first.

"Xiao Qi, you can go out first."

The Seventh Princess was completely bewildered. If they were to go out, shouldn't the two of them go out together?

Why let her go out alone?

Could it be that the Third Prince and his sister-in-law are about to have some private conversation?

Feng Yue didn't give the Seventh Princess any more time to be confused and immediately came over and asked her to leave.

Su Mowan didn't quite understand why Murong Jing had kept her behind. Seeing him looking at her, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk behind him.

"Is there going to be war soon?" she asked.

"Ah."

Murong Jing responded.

He looked at her, and she could only look at the wall.

After quickly scanning the map, Su Mowan said, "I haven't been to Yanxue, but the map of Liuxia could be more detailed."

Su Mowan has quite a few strengths. Her memory is exceptional; while not as extraordinary as photographic memory, she can remember eight or nine out of ten things without any problem.

She is particularly sensitive to things like terrain.

It was imprinted in my mind without memorizing it.

Murong Jing remained silent, which was tantamount to tacit approval.

Su Mowan went around to the desk behind her, dipped a pipe of wolf howls in ink, and started modifying the drawing directly.

With just a few strokes, the map presents a complex yet detailed terrain.

Su Mowan's right hand was injured, so she only held the wolf-hair brush in a daze. After she had sketched a rough outline with a few strokes and stopped, she found that Murong Jing's gaze was still on her profile.

A sudden wave of heat washed over me.

Caught off guard by his gaze, Su Mowan felt inexplicably embarrassed and annoyed, and turned to put the wolf-hair brush back.

But Murong Jing stopped him.

Murong Jing reached out his left hand and gently pulled her wrist, while with his other hand he took the wolf-hair brush from her hand and examined her right hand.

"But it still hurts?"

"..."

Su Mowan was taken aback by this sudden display of tenderness and didn't know how to respond.

Murong Jing looked up at her, his brows furrowing slightly.

"I'm asking you if you're still in pain."

"...It doesn't hurt anymore."

It didn't hurt much to begin with, so there's no need to worry about such a minor injury.

Su Mowan felt the atmosphere was sticky and cloying, which was very strange.

I don't know what's wrong with Murong Jing.

She tried to pull her hand back, but he held it tightly. Su Mowan simply let him pull her along, turning to look at her recent handiwork. She said, "Shall we talk about the map first?"

"Ah."

Although he verbally agreed, his gaze remained fixed on Su Mowan's face, showing no intention of looking away.

Su Mowan felt a little uneasy.

Does Murong Jing know that she went out with Shangguan Qingqi today? Is this some kind of passive-aggressive behavior?

Are we waiting for her to confess on her own?

Thinking of this, Su Mowan coughed lightly and said, "Then let me tell you where I went today. Today was the day the results were released. I went to see them with Shangguan Qingqi and ran into my second brother."

"Didn't you see Tang Minzhi?"

"..."

really!

Su Mowan rolled her eyes and said innocently, "I saw it, but I didn't talk to anyone."

"Ah."

Murong Jing said calmly.

This doesn't seem like a prelude to anger, nor does it look like a lecture is about to begin; it's really hard to tell.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be getting down to business, and remembering the Seventh Princess outside, she said, "The Seventh Princess wants to see you. Let her come in and talk."

Murong Jing said, "No, let's talk about the map first."

"..."

Why is the map staring at her like that? Luckily, she's not easily swayed by good looks, otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to resist Murong Jing's gaze!

Su Mowan turned her head away and looked at the lines she had just drawn on the drawing, explaining them to Murong Jing one by one.

It was really just a matter of a couple of sentences, but Su Mowan was nervous and afraid that the atmosphere would become strange if she didn't speak, so she had no choice but to talk on and on.

When she ran out of things to say, Su Mowan had no choice but to stop and casually asked, "Are Yanxue and Liuxia going to move?"

She had only asked casually and hadn't expected Murong Jing to answer, but to her surprise, he said, "I will take care of Yanxue's side, and Liuxia will be left to Su Mobai."

Should it be given to Su Mobai?

Where did Su Mobai get his troops?

Su Mowan remembered that Su Mobai seemed to only have money and no real military power. It seemed a bit unwise to hand over Liuxia to Su Mobai.

Murong Jing thought she was worried that Su Mobai wouldn't be able to handle it, and raised an eyebrow: "With my token, Duan Rui will cooperate with Su Mobai's command."

Su Mowan didn't know who Duan Rui was, but judging from Murong Jing's words, he must be one of his men. Did this mean that Su Mobai was to be in charge?

They're so trusting.

"You're going to personally oversee the battle at Yanxue?"

Murong Jing looked at her: "What's wrong?"

Yanxue and Yunmo's border city is in the Jiangnan area. If Murong Jing were to personally go there to supervise the battle, wouldn't he be very close to her?

Su Mowan shook her head and said, "Nothing much, around when?"

"After the autumn hunt."

"..."

Should she go with her? Su Mowan seemed to understand why Murong Jing had told her to wait until after the autumn hunt before leaving.

The autumn hunt is only three or four days away, and we can set off soon. Could it be that Yanxue has already made a move? Otherwise, Murong Jing wouldn't need to discuss the deployment with Feng Yue.

Su Mowan thought for a moment, "Do I really have to have you there for the autumn hunt?"

Logically speaking, Murong Jing, with his inconvenient legs, wouldn't be able to do anything there; he could only watch the excitement.

Murong Jing said, "We must go."

It means she has to go too.

Su Mowan glanced at the topographical map in front of her, then thought about the hunting grounds ten miles away from the capital, her brows furrowing slightly.

She always felt that someone would cause trouble at that time.

Su Mowan didn't dare to look at Murong Jing, for fear of bumping into him. But Murong Jing didn't say anything either. Su Mowan couldn't stand it anymore and said that the Seventh Princess really had something important to discuss with him.

Murong Jing then released her hand and let Feng Yue bring the Seventh Princess in.

The seventh princess's gaze swept back and forth between the two as soon as she entered, then she pursed her lips and grinned mischievously.

Su Mowan found the brother and sister to be utterly speechless.

Just as she was about to step out, Murong Jing grabbed her wrist again. It meant she had to listen along.

Feng Yue withdrew.

The Seventh Princess then had no more reservations and asked Murong Jing with a smile, "Third Brother, are you very familiar with Brother Mo Bai and Minister Su Mo Bai?"

Murong Jing's expression changed slightly.

"What do you ask for this?"

Su Mowan could already foresee Murong Jing's expression in a moment, so she silently stood behind him.

Upon hearing her third brother's question, the seventh princess knew that the two must be very familiar with each other, and her face immediately lit up.

Then I felt a little embarrassed.

She glanced at Su Mowan behind Murong Jing, bit her lip, and said, "Third brother, I think Minister Su is...not bad."

"..."

Murong Jing remained silent.

Su Mowan couldn't help but want to laugh, but she managed to hold it back.

The Seventh Princess was all set to get to work in the carriage, but how come she's suddenly constipated in front of Murong Jing?

Murong Jing knew what the Seventh Princess meant as soon as he saw her expression.

He was initially a little surprised, but the moment he looked up, he regained his composure.

"Su Mobai is good, but he's not suitable for you."
