Hearing the nanny's scream, everyone turned back in shock. It turned out that the pouch got loose. Blown by the wind, some clothes stuck out of the bag. Inside, there should be two palm-sized dolls. They had head, arms, and legs. Moreover, five silver needles about one inch long were deeply stuck in them. At one glance, they looked like two wavering skeletons, which was horrifying.
Everyone's face changed.
"What, what is this?" Auntie Fang shivered and pointed to Mo Xuetong. She cursed through clenched teeth. "Third miss, though we don't know you because of your stay in Cloud City for a year or so, you shouldn't have harmed me and your sister. No wonder I went crazy and lost my baby. And since you're here, things kept happening to your sister. It turns out it's all because of you. Third miss, how can you be so cruel? They're your brother and sister!"
Seeing the two dolls, Auntie Fang finally felt relieved. Though she's crying miserably, her
"It has something to do with First Miss?" The veins on Mo Huawen's forehead twitched. It was obvious that he was about to lose control. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Did First Miss plot together with this evil woman to hurt Third Miss?" If Min'er was already so vicious, he would rather send her to a temple than to let her marry into the Duke Zhenguo's manor. It would harm and embarrass the entire Mo family. "No, that's not it. Auntie Fang found First Miss' maid, Elder Sister Mo Xiu. First Miss did not come. Auntie Fang was locked up and only Elder Sister Mo Xiu would come to visit Auntie from time to time..." The little maidservant answered whatever she could. She was afraid that she would be beaten to death on the spot if she answered too slowly. Scheming to hurt one's master was punishable. She could be flogged to death on the spot. "Sir Yu, do we still need to question her? If we continue to, we might even find out who was the instigat
Auntie Fang was sent back to the Yu family. The Mo Manor elders and the Old Madam who were waiting in the front hall struck her name off the family register. Auntie Fang was not an ordinary concubine for she had given birth to Mo Huawen's only son. She was naturally well-regarded and was noted down in the family register. However, after what happened, she could not remain on the Mo family register. Mo Huawen officially threw Auntie Fang out from the Mo Manor in front of the elders. Mo Yufeng was the last to find out. He had been having fun at the brothel while the incident happened. A servant had passed on the message to him but it was all too late by the time he came back. Auntie Fang had already been sent away. After hearing what happened, Mo Yufeng went to Qingwei Garden. He kicked the maid who answered the door and rushed into Mo Xuetong's room. "Young Master, Miss is resting and is not taking guests." Mo Yu c
That night, moonlight shone into the gardens of Qingwei Garden. It seemed especially silent. Most of the servants and maids had already been beaten and sold. There were not many left. Mo Xuetong would pick a few that she liked tomorrow. Only the original cast was left in Qingwei Garden. Mo Yu and Mo Ye swept up the garden while Mother Xu prepared a few dishes in the side kitchen. Mo Lan packed up the room. It was as if they were back in the Qin Manor. Back then, the people in the manor had all looked down on Mo Xuetong. Mo Xuetong did not have money and was not doted on. She was also a guest staying with the Qins. Even the servants could not be bothered with her. As such, Mo Xuetong's servants had done all the tasks around the house! Mo Xuetong sat before the window. She was not reading as she usually did and had gotten Mo Lan and the others to leave the room. She still felt sad when she thought of what happened in the day. She
How could the Princess Royal do so much for her? Mo Xuetong looked up in confusion and shock. Feng Yuran's gaze could not help but land on her face. The two stood extremely close to each other. They were so close that he could see her flawless pale face. His gaze could not help but fall upon her eyes, forehead, and lips. It felt as if a thousand years had passed in those seconds. Mo Xuetong retracted her hand, wanting to pull her hands from his grasp. However, she realized that he was holding her really tightly. It was so tight that she could not go against him. His eyes were extremely deep and dark in the moonlight. He looked straight at her, without hiding anything. Their gazes met and it was as if she had received a message. A complicated cocktail of emotions surged up from within her. It was as if there was something growing subconsciously. Mo Xuetong felt very shy and also very annoyed. She glared at him angrily and tugged her hand out of his grasp.
Even though the boxes were not large, they were so exquisite when put together that it made one sigh. One could tell that everything there was a treasure. No matter the jade bangles, earrings, or jade pieces and locks... they were all either made of jade, had jade embedded in them, or were jade with precious stones embedded on them. The color of the jade pieces was clear and extremely dazzling. "This is from the Ding General Manor and this is from the Ping General Manor. This is from that young lady from the Mingguo Manor and First Miss Mo of the Mo Manor sent this secretly." Qin Yufeng pointed at the four boxes of varying sizes with his fan. "It's not there?" Feng Yuxuan frowned, asking while he squatted down and riffled through the boxes. "No. I checked it earlier. Other than the fact that these are all precious stuff, there's nothing else." Qin Yufeng picked up a piece of jade and looked at it under the bright light in the r
Mo Xuetong could not remember how Feng Yuran sent her home. Her hands and feet were still icy cold when she returned to her room. Auntie Fang was still well and alive to plot against her. This made her feel terrible. She thought of her deceased mother and how she had died in that woman's hands. Rage filled her vision earlier and she had almost rushed down if Feng Yuran had not hugged her tightly and covered her mouth. She did not know why she was so rash, she had even bit the hand Feng Yuran placed over her mouth. The hand was placed before her under the light. The clear teeth marks proved how irrational she was earlier. "You bit my hand. If Father sees this tomorrow, he will definitely ask who did it. I would be embarrassed then." Feng Yuran raised his eyebrows at the end of his declaration. A hint of a smile passed through his eyes. Mo Xuetong bit her lips and felt a little ashamed. She had always had self-contr
Mo Xuetong woke up very early the next day. She cleaned up a little and set off for the Fu General Manor. She had to stop her maternal grandmother before she flared up. She arrived at just the right time. The Old Madam had brought her servants and some other men with her early in the morning. It was a mess and Mo Xuetong arrived at just the right time. She finally managed to persuade the Old Madam to return to her room after a long while. She said that her father had a way to deal with the Yu family and asked the Old Madam to wait. The Old Madam only barely managed to keep her anger in check then. However, she asked the servants to get Mo Xuetong's second uncle, Luo Bin and ordered him to "take care" of the Yu family in the future. He was not to allow the people of the Yu Manor to slack off. The Old Madam felt upset when she thought of how her daughter had been poisoned to death. She looked at Mo Xuetong who was lying in her embrace and thou
In the Princess Royal's Manor, stood a beautiful red jade screen on a luxurious platform that separated the room into two. There was a large table near the window of the inner room. A yellow jade hindustan scalloped vase sat on the table with two red plum blossoms in it. There was a painting of a man listening to the stream hung on the wall. There were three sticks of incense in a jade incense pot with heron patterns on it beside the painting. Incense smoke wafted in the air. On the other side was a fake daffodil plant with jade adornment. It looked very realistic and even the crystal-like petals shone brilliantly. It was obvious that it was a precious object. There were two lamps hanging on the lamp holders by two sides. The lamps were inlaid with gold and diamond with floral patterns made by precious stones. There were also amber tassels hanging from the lamp holders. Everything in the room was extremely expensive and belonged to the Princ
