Chapter 318: Should Do More Immoral Things (1)_1
Mo Heng’s movements stiffened, and he slowly turned around.
Shen Songming had seen him twice before, but those were memories from his predecessor. It was only when he heard others talking about him that he remembered how the Mo family’s Mo Jiu was a prodigy with stunning talents, becoming the top scorer in the imperial examination at the age of thirteen and the youngest young scholar in a century. Because of his handsome appearance, he was known as a beauty comparable to Celestial Gods and the God of Love. He had always been the dream husband for the young ladies from prominent families in Bei Zhili.
But after a sinister family scandal, the young scholar went blind, his body was ruined, and he was cast out of his home, never to be seen again.
Although Shen Songming didn’t know what had happened to Mo Heng, the fact that such a person was staying by Pei Qin’s side made him wary. He knew better than anyone what kind of person Pei Qin was, and how many skills she possessed. The world believed Mo Jiu met a tragic death, yet here he was, hiding out with Pei Qin.
Mo Heng could sense his piercing, vigilant gaze but remained silent without speaking.
"Now that sweet potatoes are becoming widespread, Young Master Mojiu should understand that it’s time to find another place to live in seclusion!" Shen Songming couldn’t allow someone like him to get too close to Pei Qin. Besides, after all this time, he had no idea what had happened to Mo Heng. Could it be that Pei Qin was dazzled by his good looks, planning to hide her paramour in a golden house?
"Young Master Shen is overthinking it," Mo Heng had no intention of leaving, at least not now.
Shen Songming looked at him, his brows furrowing and his gaze turning cold. "If you are in need of silver, I can give you a sum to help you resettle and ensure you won’t have to worry about food and drink in the future!" How come he suddenly felt like a rich mother-in-law throwing money at a woman to make her leave her son? And all this behind her son’s back, secretly.
Scolding himself inwardly, Shen Songming took out a stack of silver notes, "A thousand taels, enough to guarantee your livelihood from now on!"
