Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"F-father!" Mo Xueqiong's face turned white.
"Father!" Mo Xuetong bit her lip, looking as if she was forcing a smile through her hurt, but the attempt to smile paired with bloodshot eyes only made her more pitiable.
Mo Huawen glared at Mo Xueqiong, then walked over and stroked Mo Xuetong's hair tenderly.
"Tong'er how did you sleep last night?"
Mo Xuetong sniffed and tried to stiffle her sobs. She looked up and pulled on Mo Huawen's teal robe.
"I slept well, thank you. I even slept in a bit!" she said with a soft smile. "Father, don't scold Fourth Sister. She and Eldest Sister are just teaching me how to do things. They're not really bullying me!"
She had dealt with Mo Xueqiong and Mo Xuemin in one swoop.
Her words shocked Mo Xuemin. She was just about to reply when Mo Huawen's face darkened.
"Min'er, even though you are the eldest daughter in the manor, you should understand that Tong'er is my only legal child. Even if there's anythi

Genera Luo Cheng had been guarding the borders for years. He left his family in the capital. Only Luo Wenyou and Luo Wenchi, who had studied martial arts, accompanied him to the front lines. They rarely returned home.Mo Huawen had stayed in Cloud City all the while and was not close with the general's family. In her last life, Mo Xuetong had not even seen her cousin when she entered the capital. In that life, she'd been much older when she'd made it to the capital, and she'd been ashamed to let others see her disfigured face. She'd avoided even her closest relatives and friends. Every year, her cousin had sent her a present, even when the General's household had become destitute.She bowed deeply to Luo Wenyou. Her heart twinged. She was grateful that he had not given up on her in her past life, even when everyone had, and was thankful that it seemed that he loved her as much in this life.Luo Wenyou was surprised when he saw the gentle and elegant young woman.

Luo Mingzhu smiled gratefully and let go of Mo Xuetong's hand. She knew that Mo Xuetong's words had convinced their grandmother to let her meet Bai Yihao."Old Madam, although the medicine in this prescription is not very strong, you still need to avoid certain food with conflicting properties. I wrote down some to avoid. Please take this, Old Madam." His voice was like a melody flowing like spring water. Bai Yihao turned around, smiling and setting the paper in his hand to dry to the side."Thank you, Sir Bai. We've troubled you. I don't know if you can treat my granddaughter. She has been weak since childhood, and no medicine has made her better." Old Madam Xu looked at Mo Xuetong with worried eyes. Bai Yihao turned to look at the girl. Her plain clothes did not lessen her charm. Instead, they allowed her natural beauty to shine. Her crystal clear eyes were curious, but not shy.Her delicate body was weak as a flower in the wind, but there wa

Bai Yihao looked into the dark eyes of the girl in front of him. Her eyes clear as a mountain stream and she looked at him with calm determination. Nobody had ever looked at him like that.He had never thought that such a delicate young girl could even look at him so calmly. Her eyes were alert, nervous, but not hostile. He could see some helplessness and bitterness in those beautiful eyes. They were deep, bright, and sharp, completely different from her frail appearance.Yet something about those wise eyes only made her more pitiable. She was too young to carry so much weight, too calm for a child. What could have happened to make her like this?There was a hint of stubbornness in her eyes too, barely visible, but he could see it clearly. He came to a new decision in a split second. Bai Yihao smiled gently."Why do you think I will help you? A daughter of an eminent family making such an appointment with an unknown man would be bad for your reputation."

Mother Xu steeled herself as she spread the news to Mo Xueqiong's courtyard. It was no secret in the manor that Fourth Miss had always been interested in the duke's son. Now she seemed to be trying to drag her sister into trouble. Mother Xu would not forget how Fourth Miss and First Miss had joined hands to make her mistress unhappy.Mo Xuetong smiled at Mother Xu."Mother Xu, come find me after a while." Mother Xu smiled. Even with Fourth Miss around, her mistress would come out clean. The gracious First Miss was about to get herself in trouble.Mo Xuetong brought her servants to Mo Huawen's study. The study wasn't far, only two doors. The servant outside saw her approaching and had already informed Mo Huawen. When she reached the doors, she was immediately welcomed into the study.Mo Huawen put down the documents in his hands and smiled."Tong'er, you don't need to be so polite. Come and sit. How's your grandmother?" Mo Xuetong greeted h

Mo Xueqiong knew there was no hiding what she'd done. She began to blurt out the truth, sobbing the whole time.When she'd gone to Mo Xuetong's courtyard, Mo Xueqiong had seen Mo Xuemin making tea for Sima Lingyun. The two seemed inappropriately close, and Mo Xueqiong immediately got jealous.Without knowing anything about the situation, she went up and questioned Mo Xuemin. She'd even pushed Mo Xuemin. The two had fallen to the ground and...Mo Huawen was so angry he was practically smoking. He had always known how unruly his fourth daughter was, but he hadn't expected his eldest daughter to behave like this as well. She'd brought a man into her younger sister's courtyard, even flirted with him. Did she care about her reputation at all?"Go. Go back to your courtyards. Copy the Classics for Women thirty times. You're not allowed to leave your courtyards unless you finish. Your maids will each be beaten ten times. If they can't even look after their mistresse

It was a silent night. The moon was beautiful. The lights in Qingwei Garden were lit.Mo Xuetong leaned against the couch and watched as Mo Lan packed up her clothes for their journey tomorrow.The room was so quiet she could hear the candle flickering, sound suddenly disruptive in the dead silence of the night.Mo Lan could no longer hold in her worries."Miss, are we really going to the Temple of Atonement tomorrow? Auntie Fang went to tell your father for a reason. She must be up to something." "Eldest Sister has devised such an excellent excuse. I would look unfilial if I didn't go. Even father has agreed, so how can I not go?" Mo Xuetong tapped her long slender fingers on the couch thoughtlessly. She was thinking about the past few days.Mo Xuemin had fallen into her traps again and again since she returned to the capital. How could Mo Xuemin and Auntie Fang be willing to take that lying down? She didn't know when Mo Xuetong and Sima Lingyun

Mo Xuetong brought Mo Lan, Mo Yu, and two other maids sent by Auntie Fang.Shuang Ye was beautiful, while Qiu Ling was quiet and reserved. Mo Xuetong leaned against the carriage wall and closed her eyes, still exhausted from her restless night. Mo Lan was also dozing off against the window. Only Mo Yu looked energetic.The maids spoke quietly, letting their mistress sleep."Mo Yu, why is Third Miss so tired? Is she feeling ill?" Shuang Ye asked softly, looking at Mo Xuetong's pale and haggard appearance."Miss has always been weak. She was tired and had a lot to prepare for before the journey to the Temple of Atonement so she did not sleep well," Mo Yu said lightly. She already didn't trust Shuang Ye."Oh, Big sister Mo Yu..." Shuang Ye still wanted to say more, but Mo Yu waved, gesturing for her to be silent.Shuang Ye opened her mouth, and then shut again it helplessly.They did not speak for the entire way there. When they reached the bas

After dinner, Mo Xuetong was told her presence was requested in the hall beside the meditation garden, alone. The night was dark enough to make it hard to see who approached her, but it looked like a guard. They gave Mo Lan a sheet of paper with the same symbol. The paper seemed brittle and old.Mo Lan had not wanted to let Mo Xuetong go alone, but Mo Xuetong was insistant. She couldn't risk offending whoever she was meeting. She needed those guards. Mo Yu dragged Shuang Ye and Qiu Ling back to Mo Xuetong's rooms to work on their embroidery.Mo Xuetong walked the quiet path alone. In both her lives, she had always been hidden in the back courtyards. She had never gone out secretly to meet anyone in the dark night. She looked calm, but her fingers were clenched tightly and her hands were cold.The Buddhist hall was not too far away. It cast enough light to keep Mo Xuetong from getting lost, but there was no moonlight to light her way tonight. Silence filled the medi

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.

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.

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!

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
