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
They almost claimed to the outsiders that Mo Xueqiong would be the same as the main wife. But they couldn't because Sima Lingyun's wife was not chosen and it might have a bad influence on his choice of wife. Only Mo Huawen knew that. They had reached an agreement in secret and had a close connection, which was known to many people in the capital. The thing happened in the plum blossom forest was hidden on purpose, and many people only knew about the sudden fire that day. Thus, many people were envious of Sima Lingyun, who was so lucky to marry Capital Official's daughter as a respected concubine. This thing had been officially recognized. Once Mo Xueqiong refused the marriage, Duke's manor would be most disgraced! Duke's manor wouldn't be able to marry a main wife if they couldn't fix a concubine! This message was sent by a maid from Mo Manor. The duchess didn't want to be in the trouble at first, but then she fel
Lan Xinru was so thick-skinned and would definitely have Mo Xuetong's father marry her with every means she could think of. Besides, Old Madam supported her. Even if Mo Xuetong's father didn't agree at first, they still had so many reasons to achieve the goal. Was that the reason why Mo Xuetong was so annoyed? She had been hurt so badly since last life! Mo Xuetong leaned aside and thought it wasn't Lan Xinru or Mo Xuemin who were so smart, but that she was too dumb. She was cheated by her own affections and thought Auntie Fang and Mo Xuemin were nice to her. Besides, she thought Sima Lingyun was truly in love with her. So, she got herself ended up in hell! Now after she objectively analyzed how Lan Xinru really was, she realized the reason was her stupidity rather than their power. Looking at the food box, Mo Xuetong was reminded of her last life and felt complex. "Miss, what's wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable? Do you need to s
"Do you mean Miss Lan? Tong'er have no aunt with close relations, and the only aunt was Duchess Xiangyang, who asked me to come by the other day. She'll come to visit you in a few days and show her gratitude to you for taking care of me and my father all these years. Grandma, could you please invite Miss Lan to join us when aunt comes?" Mo Xuetong looked at Lan Xinru pretending to be confused. Then she wore a happy smile and turned to Old Madam sweetly. She had a small figure which looked childish and her pure eyes were so pretty and bright. She knew that Old Madam didn't like her dressed in normal clothes, so she wore a white dress with the design of butterflies. The color made her look cute and charming like a little granddaughter acting in pettish towards her grandmother. Besides, these words were quite reasonable so that Old Madam couldn't let her anger out. Especially when Mo Xuetong said Duchess Xiangyang would visit her in a few days, Old Madam cou
Mo Huawen didn't know Lan Xinru's intention and thought she was an unmarried girl after all and had to keep her dignity. Now that Old Madam said that, she didn't dare to pester him any more. He felt relieved inside. Then he just chatted with Old Madam for a while and left. He couldn't stand Lan Xinru's languishing eyes. Mo Xuetong was also in no mood to chat with them and left too. As a result, they walked out of the yard together. "Father, how is the thing about big sister going?" After they left, Mo Xuetong gently asked. She carefully saw Mo Huawen sigh after he got out of the yard and saw Fuqing Garden. She knew he cared about Mo Xuemin. All these years, he cared most about the gentle kind daughter, and couldn't give her up because of a single thing. Moreover, Mo Xuemin had a good reason. No matter how angry Mo Huawen was, when he calmed down, he thought she was justifiable. And he put all his anger onto Auntie Fang and blam
After Mo Huawen left Mo Xuetong, he went to the outside courtyard. He went to the study and got the servants to block the back doors of the inside courtyard that was beside his study. Mo Huawen would usually enter the back courtyard from this door when he was tired after reading. Now that this door was blocked, he could only enter and exit from the main doors. Those doors were not too far from his study but was still a certain distance from it. He did not believe that an unmarried young lady would have the guts to leave from that door. Mo Huawen could not accept the Old Madam's silly ideas. Lan Xinru was not like the daughter of a good family at all. She was like a woman of the night and she wanted to enter his Mo Manor. Was she shameless! In Qingwei Garden. Mo Xuetong had just entered her courtyard when Auntie Mo arrived with her servants. She entered the room and smiled at Mo Xuetong, who was seated on the heated brick bed. She said, "Thir
It was midnight when Feng Yuran came back from the palace that night. Under the light, Mo Xuetong's beautiful face looked pink, which he had been praying for for a long time. Although he was tired and dizzy, he felt relieved.Fortunately, Bai Yihao did not make a desperate bet. That day, he looked calm on the surface, but in fact, he was already sweating on his back.If Bai Yihao had threatened him with Tong'er's life...If, Bai Yihao was determined not to give up...If Bai Yihao wanted to get Tong'er even if he would destroy her...He would really don't know what to do!Fortunately, there were not so many "ifs". Fortunately, Bai Yihao let go in the end. Even though he had already known Bai Yihao's character, he was still very nervous and flustered at that time in that place. Caring too much disturbed the mind. In this life, Tong'er was his weakness, but it was the weakness that he was willing to have.
Looking at the confident Bai Yihao who had a smile in his eyes, Feng Yuran suddenly put on an enchanting smile. He squinted at him and asked, "Tong'er is smart. If she knew that it was your mother who poisoned her mother back then and the poison in Auntie Fang's hands was left by your mother, what would you do?"This was a fatal blow, and Bai Yihao hid it in his heart. He thought that no one would mention it!The smile froze on Bai Yihao's handsome face. For a moment, there was a hint of blood in the corner of his warm eye. He put away the smile on his lip corners and looked at Feng Yuran viciously. "You're really funny. How could that poison have something to do with my mother?"That was the topic he didn't dare to mention. He even felt guilty and his heart was even twisted."It's a strange poison, so it must have come from a strange place. There was no way for an ordinary concubine to get it. Even though Auntie Fang died in the r
Since Yan Kingdom had taken in some remainders of Ding General Manor, the country would definitely become the Qin Kingdom's enemy. Bai Yihao was the commander-in-chief of Yan Kingdom. On the surface, the only person in the Qin Kingdom who could suppress the troops of Ding General Manor was King Xuan, Feng Yuran. In the past, Fu General and King of Xian were on different sides of Ding General Manor. They seemed to be friendly on the surface, but in private, they held each other back.The war drew near. Feng Yuran bid farewell to Mo Xuetong and led the army to the border. It was winter, so it was a little cold. Mo Xuetong stood on a small mountain town outside the city gate and could not help crying with a handkerchief in her hand when she saw the purple general's robe disappear from her sight.Mo Xuetong felt sad and could not hold back her tears when she thought that he had to go to the battle field and could not sleep well. The war was urgent and he had to
Yan Empress heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing Lan Yanwen looking calm, she said politely, "That's right, that's right. I can't stay here any longer. I'll leave this to you." She was still the dignified Empress of the Yan Kingdom."Goodbye, Your Majesty!" Lan Yanwen lowered his head and bowed respectfully, which was no different from his usual attitude. Yan Empress waved her hand with satisfaction, took her people to get on the carriage at the back door and returned to the deep palace.Yan Empress left, surrounded by a large group of people. Lan Yanwen slowly raised his head, and his beautiful eyes were inexplicably deep in the flickering light. He stared at the back of Yan Empress and walked to Princess Royal's body that was lying on the ground, speechless for a moment.The night was very quiet, as if the sound of people's breathing could be heard!After a long time, Lan Yanwen ordered, "Somebody, take Princess Royal Mingzhu out! Alo
It was Yan Empress's voice!In the dark, Mo Xuetong didn't dare to move. She bit her lips and even held her breath, hiding in the rockery. Although it was secluded, Yan Empress came with so many people, and she might find her. If Mo Xuetong fell into her hands, it would be terrible!"Sister Yunruo?" Princess Royal helped Nanny Qin to stand firm under the light. Looking at Yan Empress, who was protected by a group of secret guards and eunuchs, she slowly restored calmness.There was no guard around her, and the only person beside her was Nanny Qin, who knew nothing about martial arts. She was sort of alone now.Mo Xuetong also saw Lan Yanwen hiding in the dark beside Yan Empress. "He came as well?"This small courtyard of the Lan family gathered all kinds of powerful personage unexpectedly. It was quite lively."Sister Mingzhu, it's not easy for you to remember me. Why don't you come to my palace to have a
Seeing that there was something wrong with his expression, the Yan Empress knew that Bai Yihao was still worried. She gave a sweet smile and wrapped her soft arms around Bai Yichen's neck. Her breath was fragrant and she smiled seductively in his ear, "Don't worry. He still thinks that I really want to send some people to the East Palace and have been focusing on investigating the women in the Beauty Gathering Palace. When we succeed in the harem, it will be too late for him to do anything.""The old man won't suspect us, will he?" Bai Yichen paused for a moment and was still a little worried."Don't worry. Even if he senses something is wrong, he can't tell his son. Most of the imperial physicians in the palace are our people. When the right time comes, whichever palace he will die in, it has nothing to do with us!" The Yan Empress smiled as her eyes raked over Bai Yichen's handsome face, and she looked even more charming.However, as the two
With a thud, the memorials to the throne on the table were slammed to the ground, and Emperor Zongwen's face had darkened."Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please take care of yourself." Regardless of the memorials to the throne that were scattered all over the ground, Liu Xi hurriedly turned around to support Emperor Zongwen, who was about to fall down with one hand covering his chest. His usually calm face was filled with anxiety and panic."B*tch, that b*tch, how dare she... deceive me!" Emperor Zongwen's face was purple. He reached out to cover his chest and said a few words with difficulty. As he opened her mouth, he spat a mouthful of blood. Liu Xi only had time to cover his mouth with a handkerchief before he immediately became dispirited and was helped to sit on the throne."Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. Even if you don't look out for yourself, you still have to consider His Highness," Liu Xi persuaded anxiously as he served E
In the dark night, the wind rushed backward and poured into Mo Xuetong's mouth and nose. Her eyes were blurred. Subconsciously, she stretched her arms behind her, held the comer's waist tightly and buried her head deeply in his arms. Then she let out a breath slowly, her nose full of the scent of a familiar man. As she breathed, his scent heavily enveloped her, which made her feel inexplicably relieved and softened.The man gave a little chuckle in her ear, and his warm breath fell on her earlobe, making her itch like a feather. "Tong'er, don't be afraid. It's me!"In the satisfied sigh, she felt that his grip on her body was getting tighter.His voice was mellow and leisurely, like the alcohol that had been brewed for many years and was filled with an intoxicating aura.There was less noise following him. He landed lightly on a horse in front of him. Then Mo Xuetong was turned around and landed steadily in his embrace.
Mo Xuetong did not use the Lan family's horse carriage. There was indeed a horse carriage sent from the Crown Prince's East Palace parked at the entrance. After they got on the horse carriage, Qing Zhu asked, "Miss, how did you know that the person is not the true head of the Lan family?" There was nothing different in air, deportment, or appearance between the man and the head of the Lan family."I am just an orphan daughter of the Lan family. Even if the Lan family values me, there is a limit. Even if I can enter the East Palace in the future and be favored by His Highness, it will still be a matter of the future. The Lan family does not lack beauties in their back courtyard. It is already a great honor for me to send Minister of Public Works to meet me. It is said that Minister of Public Works is the best husband in the hearts of the princesses," Mo Xuetong stated with a faint smile. She took the tea that Qing Zhu poured for her and took a sip before she leisurely re
