Mo Xuetong raised her head and stared at him blankly.
Her eyes, which ought to have been a little cold, glowed. There was some misty mist in her big, inky eyes. Her long eyelashes quivered a little, and her small mouth was half-open, but she could not utter a word. She had an ineffable charm. On her attractive, pointy, oval face, her peerless beauty was dreamlike as if it were covered with a light mist.
She, too, seemed to be as poor as an abandoned little animal.
Feng Yuran felt that his heart had never been so soft. His eyes were as tender as water! He held her more and more tightly in his arms, as if she were the most precious treasure.
It was a long time before Mo Xuetong bit her upper lip and gave him a gentle push, beckoning him to let her go. This time, however, Feng Yuran did not exert too much force. He loosened his grip after she gave him a gentle push. However, after experiencing the intense passion just now, the two
It had been announced early in the morning that Princess Royal Mingzhu would accept Mo Xuetong as her adopted daughter. Princess Royal Mingzhu had arranged the affair of entertaining guests without any explanation. Only in the morning, when the whole Princess's Manor was busy with the matter, did it spread profusely and disorderly. The number of those who knew it immediately increased like a snowball. Some envied, some despised, some mocked, and some people suspect... In Prime Minister's Manor. Wang Xiuxiu had not gone out since returning to her boudoir last night. Given the strength of Feng Yuzhen's shadow guard, to kill a physically weak woman in a boudoir was a piece of cake. Wang Xiuxiu was delighted to think of what Feng Yuzhen had promised her the night before. The two had indulged themselves in a deep passion for a long time before they had parted sweetly. Wang Xiuxiu had left cautiously by the side door, not knowing wha
As the carriage sped along the road, Mo Xuetong frowned at the jade bracelet on her wrist in the carriage. It was the only jade ornament that her mom had left her to pick up. But just now, when Princess Royal asked about it, she lied, not knowing why. Inexplicably, she felt that she could not tell Princess Royal about it. She was born again, and something grew darker in her heart. Auntie Fang was the chief culprit who was responsible for her mom's death, but somehow, she had a feeling that there was something that one wished to keep secret. The weird man in black, Xiuning Workshop, He Xia's affair, her father's enigmatic look, and Princess Royal's inexplicable favor... This string of events kept her from trusting anyone and telling anyone about it. She had never encountered such a thing, nor had she gone for the jade bracelet in her previous life. She had no idea where it was at last. Perhaps one day, when her father came back
Before Mo Xuetong answered, Bai Yihao turned around to look out of the windows. His gaze seemed to travel through the crowd and landed somewhere further way. "People say that King Jin manor's lady used to love plum, so they planted the large plum forest outside the capital. King Jin planted them for his lovely wife, but many premium plum flowers are missing from the forest now." "In the inner residence of King Jin lies the most beautiful red plum forest. The lady loves to visit there the most. When it's winter, the red plums will blossom against the white snow. When the wind blows, the snowflakes swirling in the sky are dreamlike. So, the small red plum forest and the lady's yard are collectively called the Dream Yard." Bai Yihao said slowly and his handsome profile looked jade-like white and flawless in the sunlight. However, it seemed to carry something else. Today, Bai Yihao was very different. Mo Xuetong raised her lips in
Mo Xuetong did not know that she had been targeted by Feng Yuzhen. At the moment, she was preparing dinner in the yard. Mother Xu personally cooked, including frying and boiling. The yard smelled delicious. Most of the young and old maids in the Qingwei Garden were newly chosen, and some of those maids were deployed by Mo Huawen from other places. They were all smart and capable, keeping the garden clean and tidy. The previous situation—the servants received their master's command but did not carry out—never happened again. It was a little late when Mo Huawen came. The Yan Kingdom's envoys came to the capital, and he had to arrange for an escort to protect them. Anyway, he had to finish his business before he came back. Besides, the First Prince of the Yan Kingdom didn't live in the posthouse. As soon as Mo Huawen arrived at the gate of the yard, a young maid with sharp eyes saw him and ran in quickly to report to
All Mo Huawen could think about was how to get Mo Xuetong out of the banquet. After he left, Mo Xuetong was also lost in thought. Feng Yuran must have known the inside story, so he asked Mo Xuetong not to go out these days. But unexpectedly, the Emperor gave such an order. What the First Prince of the Yan Kingdom did was somewhat abnormal. Based on Mo Xuetong's experiences in her previous life, the First Prince was an ambitious person, even related to Bai Yihao's mother. This was what confused Mo Xuetong the most. What did the Empress of the Yan Kingdom, Bai Yihao's mother, think? How did she get involved in the First Prince's scheme? Mo Xuetong certainly didn't believe that Bai Yihao was wrong or that the Empress only had a little to do with the rebellion. Since he kept the Empress in the imperial palace, it was no small matter. What could have caused the supposedly intelligent Princess to do such a silly thing—he didn't help her own son bu
When the old nanny came back to the bed, the Old Madam understood what she meant. The Old Madam's face darkened a little. She looked at the nanny, frowned, and asked, "You mean the ancestral temple..." "Yes, Old Madam, think about this, which lady should we put this on if we want to succeed?" the old nanny reminded the Old Madam, sitting down on the stool in front of the bed. Then she brought the light closer so that the Old Madam could see it clearly. The Old Madam's face was dark and sinister in the light. "Yes, but there must be a good plan as to where it will lead. My original target was Mo Xuetong, but now she is Princess Anping. It's not good to do it," the Old Madam said hesitantly, unable to make up her mind. It was best to target Mo Xuetong. After all, the two ladies in the backyard could not have a worse reputation. If Mo Huawen insisted on taking them there, the Old Madam had nothing to say, but Mo Xuetong was different from them.
Mo Huawen came to the Old Madam's yard. As he entered, he saw a group of people whispering around a man who was lying on the ground. "Was he killed?" "No, he shouted very loudly just now." "He doesn't look like a man in black. Look at his expensive clothes, he doesn't look like a robber." "Is he from some well-known family, who went the wrong way?" "How can that be? This is the Old Madam's yard, not a miss's..." said a maid. Then she was immediately reprimanded by another, "What nonsense are you talking about?" "Yes, yes, I'm talking nonsense, nonsense." The maid immediately responded and gently slapped herself in the face. As a maid saw Mo Huawen entering the door with a grim face, she warned, "The old sir's here! The old sir's here!" The crowd quickly made way for Mo Huawen. When he saw the man lying on the ground, he called his servant to come and turn him
"What's this?" Mo Huawen saw the gold hairpin in Yu Mingyong's hand and asked coldly. It was a totally undistinguished gold hairpin, utterly commonplace. Although Mo Huawen did not quite know women's jewelry, he could still tell that this gold hairpin was unremarkable. "Who gave you this?" "A housekeeping nanny by Third Young Miss Mo's side. That nanny even kept a door open for me. She wanted me to sneak into your ancestral hall with the other servants." "What did she say when she gave you this?" "She said Third Young Miss Mo had fallen for me. She wanted to meet me under the moon." "Since she has arranged a rendezvous, why did you climb the wall? Why had you fallen from the wall into the courtyard?" "I wanted to enter through the door. But a nanny saw a figure whizz by and escape in a panic. In order not to disappoint Third Young Miss Mo, I could only climb the wall. But they thought I
