CHAPTER 85: CHAPTER 85 MO YINHE: WANTING TO START A SCANDAL ABOUT ONESELF 4

Song Tengfei did not dare to take any risks.

This adopted daughter was the Song Family’s last hope for redemption. If she also managed to offend Mo Yinhe, then the Song Family would be truly finished.

Song Tengfei, fearing his daughter lacked restraint, warned repeatedly, "This matter is your aunt’s own doing. If it really comes to that, I absolutely cannot keep her!"

Sibling affection, in the face of money and wealth, was as thin as paper. Si Mingjing sneered, feeling sorrow for Song Pianlan.

"Dad, are you sure I don’t need to step in? I’ve been treating Mo Yinhe, and now he holds me in high regard..."

"I said there’s no need!" Song Tengfei hung up the phone.

Seeing the call was cut off, Si Mingjing couldn’t help but laugh out loud. "It seems her dear father indeed values money and wealth above everything else. Song Pianlan is in for it this time. Of all the things she could’ve done, she had to steal Xiaobai’s mother’s bracelet and then try to frame her. She’s really caught in a web of her own making."

Her small goal of taking down Song Pianlan within a month now seemed to be an overestimation of her target.

However, last night she seemed to overhear guests saying that her mother, Si Yao, knew Xiaobai’s mother?

After coming out of the restroom, Si Mingjing took the elevator with Mo Yinhe to the underground parking lot. Once in the car, she no longer looked out the window but instead deliberately brought up a topic. "Mr. Mo, did my mother, Si Yao, know your wife, Miss Bai, from before? Were they close?"

"Not very close."

However, Mo Yinhe propped his chin on his hand. He remembered Si Yao had established contact with her just two months before the baby left. During that period, the baby seemed to have made a new friend and frequently went out for afternoon tea with Si Yao.

At that time, he was severely injured and lay in the hospital every day. Yet the baby still had the mood to meet a new friend for afternoon tea?

The dark depths of Mo Yinhe’s eyes deepened further. Could it be that her outings weren’t as simple as just having afternoon tea?

Mo Yinhe’s complex gaze fell on Si Mingjing, his eyes narrowing slightly in contemplation. What did this have to do with her now being Si Yao’s daughter?

Feeling Mo Yinhe’s gaze on her made Si Mingjing’s scalp tingle, and she averted her eyes, saying, "Oh."

She felt that the scenery outside the window was far more pleasant.

But the guard, Chang Fengjue, sitting in the passenger seat, said, "Your Highness, in the two months before she left, the Crown Princess Consort greatly enjoyed spending time with Miss Si’s mother. Even Old Master Song was introduced to the Crown Princess Consort by Si Yao at that time; otherwise, Old Master Song wouldn’t have been famous enough back then to treat you."

Old Master Song became famous only after treating Mo Yinhe.

A doctor who could treat Mo Yinhe could, in ancient times, be directly understood as an Imperial Physician.

People tend to follow the crowd; they figured that if even Mo Yinhe asked Old Master Song for treatment, then Old Master Song must be very capable.

Later, more and more wealthy families sought treatment from Old Master Song. Since Old Master Song was indeed very skilled and cured every illness he handled, his reputation grew through word of mouth.

Now, many people took pride in being able to secure treatment from Old Master Song and even lauded him as a great master of traditional Chinese medicine.

Fengjue continued, "It’s unexpected that back then, Old Master Song’s granddaughter, Song Pianlan, dared to steal the Crown Princess Consort’s bracelet. That was the Crown Princess Consort’s favorite bracelet, a birthday gift you gave her. Who else would be worthy of it?"

Si Mingjing thought to herself, My mother was so foolish! She paved the way for others, only to die in a foreign land herself.

As she was thinking, her wrist was suddenly seized. Looking down, Si Mingjing saw Mo Yinhe slipping the bracelet onto her wrist.

Fengjue, who had been about to say more from the front seat, halted mid-sentence, "UH..."
