Truth be told, Chen Mo indeed has a fondness for beauty; the rumors of his lustfulness are not unfounded.
But while he is lustful, he is not in haste; he has enough restraint. Otherwise, he would have taken action the day Xu Ying and Princess Zhaoqing moved into the Copper Sparrow Garden instead of waiting for more than half a month.
Now, it is time to start indulging.
After dining at the Marquis Mansion, Chen Mo moved towards the Copper Sparrow Garden.
Initially, upon hearing Xiao Yunxi's words, Chen Mo intended to go directly to find Princess Zhaoqing.
But as he reached the entrance of her courtyard, Chen Mo paused—such actions would be inappropriate.
Consider this: Xiao Yunxi had just visited her during the day and said those things, and now he's going in the evening.
The first impression would be that Xiao Yunxi was sent by Chen Mo specifically to persuade Princess Zhaoqing, with too clear an agenda.
