Starting by Getting a Wife? It Turns Out She Is a Skilled Assassin

Chapter 76



Chapter 76: Just snatch Lady Hu over directly, isn’t that enough?

All eyes of the crowd fell on Nongyu all at once.

Nongyu was stunned by Li Mo’s words.

Pointing to her own nose, she stared in a daze, “Me?”

I don’t even know Lady Hu, big brother!

The crowd was also confused by Li Mo’s words.

Especially Sister Zi.

Nongyu was saved by her many years ago and has been by her side all these years.

She knew very well that Nongyu had never seen Lady Hu, let alone knew her.

“Sir, is there another hidden meaning behind your words?”

Sister Zi almost completely trusted Li Mo unconditionally.

Although she knew that Nongyu did not know Lady Hu, she still believed that Li Mo would not speak randomly.

Just like yesterday when Li Mo told her that swallowing could enhance beauty and youthfulness, she did not hesitate to swallow.

The crowd’s attention once again focused on Li Mo.

Li Mo “looked” at Nongyu’s snow-white neck and said, “Does Nongyu have a piece of jade pendant there?”

Nongyu was stunned for a moment, surprised, “How did you know?”

She had always worn this jade pendant close to her body, hidden deep inside her clothes.

She had never taken it off, even when bathing.

Besides her and Sister Zi, who had bathed and slept together, no one else knew about it.

But how could Sister Zi tell him this insignificant matter about the jade pendant?

Sister Zi immediately recalled and said, “There is indeed a piece of jade pendant, how did you know, sir?”

You didn’t peek at Nongyu bathing, did you?

You…

If you want, just tell me, I’ll ask Nongyu to go wash up and lie down on your bed, why peek?

Sister Zi thought it over and realized that he couldn’t see.

That’s even more strange, how did he know this?

Li Mo reached out, smiled, and said, “Can Nongyu lend me the jade pendant to take a look?”

Nongyu looked at Sister Zi.

After Sister Zi nodded at her, she turned around and discreetly took off the jade pendant in front of everyone.

“Sir.”

Nongyu adjusted her collar, held the jade pendant in her hands, and came to Li Mo’s side.

Li Mo reached out and took it, and the jade pendant still retained warmth from Nongyu’s body.

Upon closer sniffing, there was even a faint milky fragrance.

You hid it pretty well, aren’t you afraid it will scratch you?

He had noticed this jade pendant when Nongyu and Sister Zi were changing clothes in front of him last time.

The fiery red jade pendant stood out amidst the snowy valley.

The color difference was so distinct that it was hard not to notice.

“Sir, is there anything special about this jade pendant?”

Seeing Li Mo playing with the jade pendant he took from her, Nongyu couldn’t help but blush.

Li Mo remained calm and said, “When Nongyu wears this jade pendant, is there anything different?”

After a moment of thought, Nongyu replied, “Um, in winter, it feels warm on the jade pendant, even if the clothes are thin, I don’t feel cold. Does that count?”

Li Mo nodded and smiled, “It does, of course.”

“Because this is the precious Fire Rain Agate from Baiyue, extremely valuable, it emits a special warmth when the temperature is low.”

Nongyu blinked, “From Baiyue?”

“Yes, have you been wearing this jade pendant since you were little?”

Nongyu nodded like a little chicken pecking at the grains, “I’ve had it since I can remember.”

Sir, you’re truly amazing, how did you know even this?

Sister Zi sensed something amiss and asked, “Is this related to Yu’er’s origin?”

Nongyu immediately looked nervously at Li Mo.

She had been an orphan since she was little, if not for Sister Zi’s help, she might have died long ago!

Now suddenly having a clue about her family, anyone would want to know the answer.

Li Mo did not beat around the bush and said directly, “Yes, this jade pendant was originally a pair, there is another half, with your mother.”

Nongyu suddenly swayed, Sister Zi quickly helped her sit down. After drinking a few sips of tea, the excited Nongyu gradually calmed down.

The hand holding the tea cup trembled slightly, and her eyes were somewhat distracted as she muttered to herself, “My mother…my mother?”

The word mother seemed a little unfamiliar to her. “Where is she…sir, where is she?”

Nongyu raised her head, her eyes covered with a layer of mist. All eyes fell on Li Mo.

Zhang Liang scratched his head in confusion. This was supposed to be about asking Lady Humeiren to restrain Lady Mingzhu, how did it become a family search event?

He wasn’t the only one confused. It wasn’t until Li Mo spoke again that everyone suddenly realized.

“Your mother, is now in Xinzheng.”

Nongyu nervously held her breath.

“She is the wife of Left Sima Liuyi, and also the sister of Royal Consort Humeiren, the consort of the Han Emperor.”

(TN: There is a tradition, dating to Qin times, where every position was occupied by two people, one on the left and one on the right. Even the Prime Minister was split into the Left Prime Minister and the Right Prime Minister. Usually, for civilians, the one on the left is the primary one and the one on the right’s the deputy)

Everyone was shocked!

The scene fell into silence! After a while, Han Fei said, “Brother Li intends for Miss Nongyu to persuade Lord Liuyi’s wife to convince Consort Humeiren to help us?”

Nongyu is daughter of Lord Liuyi’s wife, so she is also Consort Humeiren’s niece.

With this relationship, things seemed to become feasible!

Nongyu suddenly stood up in shock and asked nervously, “So, so, is Lord Liuyi… is Lord Liuyi my father?”

This was not good news. Because Left Sima Liuyi belonged to Ji Wuye!

Li Mo shook his head, “No.”

“No?”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Nongyu is daughter of Lord Liuyi’s wife, but she is not Lord Liuyi’s daughter?

Oh~ Got it! Liuyi had been cuckolded!

Nongyu asked, “Then who is my father?”

Li Mo hesitated for a moment before saying, “You can ask your mother when the time comes.”

Nongyu’s breathing became rapid, “Can I…can I see her? Sir, can you take me to see her?”

In a moment of panic, she ran to Li Mo and held his arm, pleading. Zhang Liang clicked his tongue, “This matter, I’m afraid it’s a bit difficult.”

Nongyu, still immersed in the joy of finding her mother, asked nervously, “Why?”

Han Fei explained, “Liuyi is very protective of Lady Hu even when she goes out, he arranges a large number of guards and servants to follow her. It would be difficult to deceive him.”

(TN: ‘Hu’ seems to be a surname from Hu family, just like Consort Humeiren, she also called Lady Hu)

Nongyu suddenly felt disappointed.

Mother and daughter were so close, why couldn’t they meet?

Li Mo suddenly sneered.

Protective? Just a facade for outsiders.

Those people are more like surveilling Lady Hu rather than protecting her.

“Sir…”

Nongyu looked at Li Mo with a pitiful and helpless expression.

She knew that Li Mo would surely have a solution!

He knew even about his own background, like a fairy-like existence!

Li Mo was softening under her helpless voice. After some thought, he said, “Simple.”

Nongyu’s eyes lit up, knowing that the sir had a solution. Han Fei curiously asked, “Brother Li, what is your clever plan?”

If Nongyu and Lady Hu could reunite, based on such a deep relationship, Lady Hu would help them.

Li Mo smiled slightly and said to Nongyu, “Just bring your mother over, isn’t that enough?”

Simple and direct, but effective! If Liuyi sent someone to follow them, he could just snatch the person directly!
