The next day.

As for the matter regarding Mo Wei Nong, it was spread like wildfire.

Mo Wei Nong's appearance was rumored to be divine, as though everyone had personally seen her fairy-like appearance.

Amongst them, the most shocked was the Marquis Mansion.

The old lady's face was filled with disbelief, "Mo Wei Nong, you chose? Is her usual appearance deliberately ugly? "

"... "Yes." The Wei mama wanted to say something but hesitated, and replied softly. "According to the rumors, it was because our family did not give Miss Wei Nong proper maid training, that led her to have a false sense of aesthetics, and caused her to not dress herself properly."

"Nonsense." The old lady was so angry that her heart ached. Her body, which had just recovered a bit with great difficulty, was now on the verge of collapse again.

She slammed the table fiercely, "You still dare to ruin the reputation of our Hou Mansion, you bitch. You really infuriate me, you infuriate me to death."

"Mother." Second Master Mo also hurriedly entered from outside. Seeing the old lady like this, he knew that she knew the rumors outside.

Unfortunately, they couldn't go in and out as they pleased. Although the imperial physician had examined everyone's body to show that they were all safe, they hadn't found the source of the rat plague, so their range of movement was limited.

And now, on top of Zhuang Zi, Mo Wei Nong had even passed the first round of Candidates for the post of female ambassador s. Even if he wanted to marry her out, he wouldn't be able to do so in a short period of time.

"What should we do now? This, she wasn't really selected as a Empress Dowager, was she? " The old lady was extremely worried. If she really let Mo Wei Nong out, with her dissatisfaction towards the Hou Mansion, it would be very troublesome.

Second Master Mo's expression was also extremely ugly. He pursed his lips and did not say anything for a long time, before finally saying, "I'll go and send a message to Lord Ji, see if I can get her to brush it off."

The old lady hurriedly stopped him, "What's the use of looking for him?" I heard that even her daughter was wiped out in the first round. "

"Then what should we do?"

"..." She frowned as she thought about it, but she couldn't think of a good way. After a long time, she comforted herself, "You, don't worry, we still don't know what the second round of the exam will be about. In the past, it was unavoidable for things like zither, chess, calligraphy and painting to go this way. Mo Wei Nong does not understand anything about it, even if it looks good, it would not be of any use.

Second Master Mo still felt that something was amiss.

The old lady continued, "If she passes the second round, we'll think of another way … to prevent her from taking part in the third round of inspections. "

After Second Master Mo heard this, he pondered for a moment. However, he still had to get some information on Mo Wei Nong.

The commotion over at the Hou Mansion's side quickly passed, and even though the Madam Hou had secretly cursed at Mo Qian Zhu for a while, she wasn't really that worried. After all, the more they competed, the more she believed that Mo Wei Nong and Mo Qian Zhu would not be able to reach the end.

With only a single slot, how could it be so easy to obtain?

The discussions outside naturally fell into Mo Wei Nong's ears as well. Early in the morning, Jin Tao had told her everything that she and Qin Niang Zi had heard when they had went out to buy vegetables, and even said extremely proudly, "Miss, you don't know this, but the people outside all view you, Princess Le Chen and Miss Yu Family as their most powerful opponents."

Mo Wei Nong did not care about these rumors at all. What she cared more about now was the Flame King.

He was robbed by him last time, and when he saw her at the Empress Dowager selection yesterday, he gave her a big orange, who knows what he wanted to do.

Thus, in the morning, she called Shen Qian over and had him collect all the information he knew about the Flame King.

At this moment, she was sitting on a stool with her hands held together as she watched his life. The more she looked, the more her eyebrows knitted together.

He was three years old, could write poetry at the age of four, had extraordinary talent at the age of five, and was unable to defeat the imperial court scholars when he set the questions at the age of six.

He followed his grandfather to the border at the age of ten. Together with a guard, they entered the enemy camp to retrieve the general's head.

At the age of twelve, he gave the Kaiser an idea about how to solve the Southern Droughts.

Thirteen years old tongue war official, open frontier trade.

He had taken over the Flame King's Mansion at the age of fourteen, but from then on, he cared less about the affairs of the imperial government.

At the age of fifteen, he was judged by the State Grandmaster to not have much more than twenty-five years of age. After returning to the Manor, he killed three of his servants, then ran to Jiangnan and destroyed a boat full of water bandits.

The entire world knew that the heavens were jealous of the brilliant talent, and it was only when the Flame King found it hard to accept that his personality had greatly changed.

However, after that, he returned to the Duke Palace as if nothing had happened and occasionally went to the palace to talk to the Kaiser.

One after another, the Flame King's life stories were displayed in front of Mo Wei Nong, but no one could help but be amazed at his abilities.

"It's really just as Shen Qian said, we can't guess what's going on." Mo Wei Nong's heart was stuck, he did not even know what the Flame King was trying to do.

However, he must get out of this second round.

Mo Wei Nong sighed, and then placed the paper down.

She turned around and saw Xiao Dong burrowing into its' house 'with white fox in his arms.

Under the constant nagging from the Soprano, Mo Wei Nong finally got someone to make it a huge house.

That's right, it was extremely big, just like Mo Wei Nong's bed.

The room was divided into two floors, with a staircase specially made for it, cushioned, and a small table with a plate of snacks on it.

This Soprano completely treated itself as a human and lived her life as a human. Everyday, she would just lazily lie on top of it while rubbing her stomach.

Xiao Dong was the happiest one. Although its small height was not even half of the house's height, it would clean the house for Soprano excitedly with a cloth every day. It would even sleep with it at night.

She didn't even know if there was anything wrong with it.

Seeing the man and the fox enter that big house, Mo Wei Nong couldn't help but sigh. He tidied up the paper and placed it on top of the candle flame.

The paper was slowly burnt to ashes. Just as Mo Wei Nong wiped his hands with the kernels, Shen Qian walked in.

He glanced at Xiao Dong who was lying inside the 'house' with the white fox, and Mo Wei Nong understood. He got up and walked out the door with him.
