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
"Miss, it is King Chu's carriage." Mo Ye's ears were sharp and she could hear Mo Huawen speaking to someone on the horse carriage from a distance. She hurried to help Mo Xuetong who could not catch her breath while she spoke softly. King Chu? The gentle and elegant King Chu would speed in the palace? Mo Xuetong asked subconsciously, "Did you hear wrongly?" "Miss, my ears are very sharp, how could I have heard wrong? Mo Yu, you're seated right in front. Lift up the curtains secretly and see if it is King Chu's horse carriage." Mo Yu pointed at Mo Yu when she heard Mo Xuetong doubting her. Mo Yu had already secretly lifted the door curtains. She nodded hurriedly at Mo Ye's words and said softly, "Miss, I can't hear what Old Sir and Young Master are saying, but the emblem on the horse carriage definitely belongs to King Chu's manor." Then, Mo Yu turned around and blinked in confusion. "I heard that King Chu is a gentle and elegant person. Why w
“Yes, go. Be careful in the palace." Mo Huawen waved his hand and got onto his horse. Then, he turned around to say to Mo Xuetong, "Tong'er, you don't need to pick any clothes or accessories. You just have to clean up a little. Things are different in the palace compared to at home. Even though you can't do everything that you want, don't make the Mo Manor look weak." Mo Xuetong was still in the mourning period and could not dress up too fancily. Mo Huawen considered Tong'er's character and how she was fearful sometimes and was worried that she might be bullied. That was why he had taken care to tell her that worriedly. "Yes, rest assured, Father. Eldest Sister would be there too. Even if Tong'er doesn't know anything, or doesn't understand anything, Eldest Sister would definitely help me, right, Eldest Sister?" Mo Xuetong smiled at Mo Xuemin sweetly. She already understood! What happened earlier was a plot for Mo Xuemin to ent
The banquet was held at the Rain Pavilion in the imperial garden. The Rain Pavilion was decorated differently from other places. There was an average-sized lake in the middle and there were two islands next to each other in the lake. At the closest point between the two islands, one could cross between the two with just a step. The slightly larger island was on the left and that was where the male guests were seated. The slightly smaller island was on the right where the female guests were seated. For everyone's enjoyment, the Emperor and his officials were seated by the lake. Those on the islands were all young people. They would not feel restrained by their fathers and would be able to have fun. There were a few decorated pleasure boats that traveled between the islands and the lakeside, sending those on the shore to the islands. Because there were not many boats, there were men and women on the boats. The women would be sent to the island on the right
You Yuecheng grew white with rage when he heard what Mo Xuetong said. He shook out his sleeves angrily in disdain and then raged, "You are indeed from the countryside of Cloud City. You don't know any etiquette and are ill-bred." Mo Xuetong hated it when people spoke badly of her mother. You Yuecheng was implying that she did not have a mother to teach her. She looked at him from the corners of her eyes and turned around elegantly. She took two steps away to the side and stood at the railings. A gentle smile appeared on her face as she turned around to say mockingly, "Marquess You, you think that Eldest Sister is the most well-bred, and you admire a woman like her, then why don't you marry her? You'd save her from her current situation. As long as you save her, her well-bred Auntie will definitely thank you. Then, you would get the opportunity to find out where Eldest Sister's breeding came from. Oh, I've made a mistake. If you really marry Eldest Sister,
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
