บท 1126: A conceited mer

Mo Qiang glanced at Fu Qi Hong who was walking towards her and wished she was a bit faster. If she was then she wouldn't be caught in trouble like this. 

"It's nothing, I was just given a task by Her Majesty," replied Mo Qiang. 

"A task?" Fu Qi Hong frowned. He glanced at Mo Qiang who was dressed impeccably today and questioned, "Why did my mother give you a task?" As far as he knew Mo Qiang was related to his mother in any way. Even if she was now his contracted lover, this was a secret from his mother. 

This meant that there was no way his mother could have forced Mo Qiang, who was determined to keep her identity safe, to work for his mother. 

"That's because I am now working under her, I just joined the imperial court today," Mo Qiang replied with complete honesty. There was no point in hiding anything either way, after all Fu Qi Hong was a prince and sooner or later he would find out about her appointment in the Imperial court either way.
