Guide to tame my villainous husbands novel Chapter 1319

Mo Qiang's words made the official's face flush red with shame. She wanted to say something but dared not to breathe a single word. Instead, she peered at Fu Beichou when she saw that the woman was indeed looking a bit dissatisfied; the official cursed Mo Qiang for speaking too much.

It was fine that she wanted to defend herself; why did she have to say such harsh words? The official forgot that just now, when she was blaming Mo Qiang, she was actually cursing her and even asking her to be hanged to death.

Compared to that, Mo Qiang was still quite polite with her.

"Do you have something to say, Official Po?" Fu Beichou asked the official, who lowered her head and didn't dare to say anything. How dare she say that she had some objections when asked so directly? She could only lower her head and say that she didn't have any.

However, as she looked at Mo Qiang, Official Po couldn't help but glare at her a few times. She really could not understand why Mo Qiang looked so relaxed. Did she really have a plan to turn this situation around?

That shouldn't have been the case.

She recalled the things Wei Yunrou said to her and calmed down. Everything would be fine. Mo Qiang might be smart but she wasn't an omnipotent woman. There was no way she would be able to deal with this matter, right?

Right!

Official Po calmed down but she couldn't suppress the thudding of her heart and continued to look at Mo Qiang with a nervous look in her eyes. She hoped that whatever evidence or proof Mo Qiang had would turn out to be a fluke.

"Your Highness," Mo Qiang turned to look at Fu Beichou with an expression so demure that it made the woman's facial muscles twitch. She had to admit that she had never seen a woman whose expression changed so easily and swiftly.

Mo Qiang had no idea that she was being held in contempt. With her eyes filled with tears, she lowered her head and spoke in a quivering voice, "I know that I promised that I would bring the fame and finances to the fief, and I swear that I wanted to do it as well, but then..."

She sighed and continued, "But then I thought about it and realised that more than money and food, what the people of this fief needed was a chance for survival. As well as the ones living in the Imperial Star!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the entire court turned silent. Some looked disdainful, while some were contemptuous, but those who knew Mo Qiang well were certain that the woman didn't say these things for no reason.

However, no matter what they thought, they all eyed Mo Qiang carefully. As if they were waiting for her to finally drop the bomb that she was cradling in her arms.

"What do you mean by chance for survival?" Fu Beichou asked. Though she already knew that Mo Qiang might have discovered something, she still wanted to play along with the woman and see what was going on.
