"The two Princes left for their own homes in a rather good mood and Second Young Miss Ling also returned home. I heard that the Empress' Palace replaced all their ceramics today. After that, there was a fuss about a disrespectful palace maid at the imperial concubine's. The maid was punished by beating." Feng Yue was not in charge of matters in the palace. However, Shen Kun was busy and asked him to come to report to their lord.
"How about the Mo Manor?" All was silent on the bed and the person only spoke softly after a long moment.
"Third Young Miss Mo went to bed not long after she returned to the manor. She still does not know about what happened to First Miss Mo. She will probably find out tomorrow." Feng Yue knew that his master treated Third Young Miss Mo differently and tried his best to answer his queries about her fully. After he answered his master's queries, he asked curiously, "Your Highness, should I send the formulated medicine over immediat
Mo Huawen was about to say that he did not want to eat, but he swallowed his words and removed his hand from his desk. He smiled at her lightly and nodded, gesturing for her to enter. A flash of joy appeared in Mo Xuetong's eyes and she heaved the box onto the table with some effort. She reached out to pick up the books scattered on Mo Huawen's desk and then placed some scrolls onto the shelves by the desk. That was where Mo Huawen's documents which he handled daily were placed. "Father, Grandmother sent these boxes of snacks last night. You were asleep, so I did not come to bother you. I only heated them just now and they are best with porridge. Father, try the porridge I made. You must not let the effort I put in go in vain." Mo Xuetong heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Mo Huawen did not mind her being close to him despite his distant expression. She opened the box and set out the little dishes of snacks. There was Mo Huawen's favo
"Father, Father..." The sounds of Mo Xuetong crying could be heard outside. It broke the silent sorrowful atmosphere in the room. Mo Huawen rearranged his expression and looked up coldly at Mo Xuemin who was faking sadness as was being helped along by Mo Xiu at the door. Mo Xuemin did not expect Mo Xuetong to be there as well. A trace of viciousness flashed in her eyes. She took a step forward, looking gentle and weak. There was a bandage wrapped around her head that still bore traces of blood. It was probably the wound from where she had smashed her head earlier. Her pink clothes bore spots of blood near the wound. Her hair was let loose and she opened her mouth fearfully. Her sad eyes were filled with tears and she looked very pitiful, making one sympathize with her. She tripped before she even entered the room. She would have fallen if Mo Xiu had not caught her. She looked so pitiful and had this been in the past, Mo Huawen's heart would
Mo Xuemin and the Old Madam returned together! The Old Madam said only one thing to Mo Huawen. "The reputations of the Mo daughters must not be tarnished!" Everyone understood what she meant. This was not just a matter that affected Mo Xuemin alone. If the eldest Mo daughter was a wanton, unfilial girl who might have had a dalliance with someone, others would doubt the breeding of the entire Mo family. No matter Mo Xuetong or Mo Xueyan, and even Mo Xueqiong, who was already promised to Sima Lingyun, their marriages would be cast with the same suspicion and they would not be able to marry into a good family. This incident was not the same as Mo Xueqiong's. At least, Sima Lingyun had truly saved her. He had pulled her out of the fire in public and what happened after had only been the result of the rush in saving someone. It was at the Mo family's ancestral hall and was not really against anything. The incident between the two could not really
"Even though your father loves your mother deeply, look at how the situation is right now. This home is not like a home anymore. All the Mo daughters have had their reputations ruined. Min'er, lass, don't wait for Auntie Fang. She is a vicious woman and even if your father agrees, I will not. She has plotted against the main daughter and killed the child in her womb. Your father has been kind not to drown her." The Old Madam's expression darkened when she heard Mo Xuemin's evasion. She was so direct Mo Xuemin could not accept it. A flash of viciousness passed her eyes and her teeth ground against each other. She bit her lips and lowered her head, hiding the poison in her eyes. She only lifted her head moments later and said softly, "Min'er will listen to Grandmother!" The situation was not in her favor and she did not have the chance to speak at all right now. Furthermore, her father would be the one to decide whether he was agreeable or not, it did not m
Mo Xuetong had lunch at the General's Manor before returning home. The Xiangyang Duchess was Luo Xia's cousin and the two were born just days apart. They had grown up together. Duchess Xiangyang had married Duke Xiangyang first and then, Luo Xia married Mo Huawen. The two moved with their husbands and had not met again until Luo Xia passed away. Duchess Xiangyang had returned with her husband to the capital and went to the General's Manor to greet the Old Madam. She only realized that Mo Xuetong had come to the capital after the Old Madam mentioned it. As such, she had specially sent someone to invite Mo Xuetong over to get to know her. She had sent someone to pass on the message to say that the Old Madam wishes to see her granddaughter and Duchess Xiangyang wished to meet her niece. They had not made it so exaggerated like Mo Ye had. "Miss, is that Miss Lan really going to move in?" Mo Lan followed behind Mo Xuetong and asked with a frown. She had always
Li Youmo's words were very frivolous. He rolled his shoulders in and looked at Mo Xuemin from the corners of his eyes. His eyes shone and a small lazy smile appeared on the corners of his lips. He looked just like a ruffian. How could Mo Xuemin, who had always placed importance on reputation, etiquette, and always held herself as a role-model accept it? She was so furious she glowered. The noblemen she had met in the past were mostly like You Yuecheng. They were gentle and elegant. When had she ever met such a shameless nobleman? "Sir Li, you've mistaken someone else for me. I was at home copying scriptures last night and have not gone out. How would I have met Sir Li? You are a nobleman of the capital and you know that tainting someone's reputation is as good as taking one's life. I have not offended you, so why are you making things difficult for me?" Mo Xuemin still had a last bit of rational. She retracted her fiery eyes and forced down the anger in her heart as sh
"You're so ugly and you want to marry Brother Yuecheng? You've dirtied my hands!" Li Youmo seemed not to be conscious of the fact that he had been atrociously impolite. He was in someone's home and had beaten up their daughter. He clapped his hands together as if he was getting rid of dirt and walked up to You Yuecheng. He appeared to be considerate towards You Yuecheng and the angry look on his face had long disappeared. Instead, he seemed more relax and even said somewhat apologetically, "Brother Yuecheng, you won't blame me, right?" However, he immediately turned around, not waiting for You Yuecheng, whose expression was one of awkwardness, to speak. He turned to smile at Mo Xuetong and said, "Please excuse me, Third Young Miss Mo. But your sister's flirtatious character is really terrible. We are in the discussion for her hand and yet your first miss is still trying to flirt with Brother Yuecheng and I was too angry." He looked righteously angry and s
"I have to thank you for the things today, for that you were troubled for my marriage. I will give you a treat at Zuixian Tower which is located in the east of the capital tonight. Let's all get drunk before we leave and that will be my sincere gratitude for you." Li Youmo arched his eyebrows and guaranteed. Then he came to hold You Yuecheng's shoulders like a hooligan and seemed to have a close relationship with him. "On my wedding ceremony, I shall kneel down before you who is our matchmaker. I'll be grateful for you for my entire life." A matchmaker? He was the matchmaker between Li Youmo and Mo Xuemin! You Yuecheng opened his mouth and got completely speechless! He quietly evaded Li Youmo's hand and felt extremely regretful that he had a private date with Mo Xuemin that night! If this news got out, Mingguo Manor would be quite disgraced! The news that there would be a marriage between the Mo's and the Li's was all over the
