The room was in a mess. Consort Yu leaned down on the side of the bed with a pale face, and could not say a word. On the other side, Wang Xiuxiu fell to the wall, her clothes stained with blood, and the flowing blood was clearly visible on the skirt. Wang Xiuxiu covered her belly and painfully called to Princess Royal standing at the door. "Child, my child! Save my child!"
A hint of pleading flashed in her eyes.
As for Feng Yuzhen, he fell to the ground. His handsome face was scratched two blood strains that slanted down from the bridge of his nose, which pulled and twisted his face.
"Yuzhen, what's the matter?" Princess Royal was the first to collect herself and ordered people to help Wang Xiuxiu and Consort Yu up, and then came to ask Feng Yuzhen who just got up from the ground. The two women in the room were pregnant, and the only man was the groom who had nothing to do with them. The matter seemed weird anyway.
"I..." Feng
The matter concerning Consort Yu's fright, Wang Xiuxiu's miscarriage, and Feng Yuzhen's sudden appearance ended with Wang Xiuxiu's bloody death. Even though a second consort that the Emperor had officially instated had died, the matter created no commotions as King Yan's Manor and King Ning's manor remained silent, with Grand Secretariat Wang keeping quiet as well. As a second consort was merely a concubine, a matter concerning her would not stir up much drama, especially since her presence made others feel threatened and uncomfortable. Then, there was no need for her to exist! Ever since Consort Yu returned to her palace, she stayed in Qingwei palace every day to tend to her baby. It was rumored that she had a great fright and dared not venture out casually ever since. Inside Cining Palace. The emperor came forth with the sickly Empress to greet Empress Dowager. The Empress had been sick for quite some time and w
The wind blew outside the window, sending light fragrance of the flowers in. Lifting up the bed curtains, one could see waves falling and a slight bulge present. After long, the breathing of the man beside her became lighter. Mo Xuetong felt her body stiffened and thus changed her position, twisting to another side. However, just as she moved a little, a strong arm stretched over and pulled her in his arms before hearing his satisfying moan. "Did you see anything interesting today?" He asked with a playful voice, with a tinge of laziness hidden within. Mo Xuetong stretched her limbs and found a more comfortable position in his arms. Her long eyelashes fell as she blinked, closing her eyes. "Did you know the situation long ago?" The matter between Consort Yu and Feng Yuzhen didn't happen overnight, and it was difficult to be done in complete secrecy as well. With the ability of Feng Yuran, he would have known about the matter fo
After entering the room, Mo Lan woke Mo Xuetong up softly. Mo Xuetong pondered as she got up from the bed lightly. However, Feng Yuran caught her and asked lazily, "What's the matter? Is something wrong? Shall I go with you?" "It's alright, you get some sleep. I will get someone to fetch you if something goes wrong!" Mo Xuetong said sweetly. She pushed him away and got up, slipping off the bed easily with the help of his arm. "Do you really not want me to go with you?" He got up with concern. Even though a charming smile still hung on his lips, there was a hint of darkness in his eyes. "No!" Mo Xuetong waved her hands. No way! He was ordered to rest and had only just gotten slightly better. He still wanted to participate in these shenanigans with her. He would be "tired out" before the matter at home was settled. That one in the palace was still angry. He might tear her skin off! "I'll have Feng Yue take a few men and go with y
It was not just the Mo's and the Duke Zhenguo's family that was present in the Mo Manor's Hall. The matter had blown up. Furthermore, it was a marriage decreed by the Empress. They had to call for witnesses no matter what had happened! The witness had been invited by the Duke Zhenguo's Manor. No one expected the man to be Grand Secretariat Wang. However, the Grand Secretariat seemed displeased. His daughter was dead. Anyone would be unhappy. However, the man listened gravely and did not say a single word. He just drank his tea quietly. His eyes were a little cold. No one knew why Sima Lingyun would invite him. Mo Huawen and Xu Yan were seated on one side of the hall while the Duchess and Sima Lingyun were seated on the other side. Mo Xuemin was present as well. She was a few months pregnant and a maid helped her to sit down beside the Duchess with some difficulty. Mo Xuemin's eyes were lowered and she seemed to be very careful.
Sima Lingyun continued without allowing Mo Huawen to question him, "That day at the palace gates, everyone saw Third Miss Mo exiting from the Mo Manor's horse carriage. There were even people who said that they vaguely heard Third Miss Mo screaming. Third Miss Mo had appeared stiff when she was dragged onto the horse carriage. It was obvious that she had been taken hostage. Her two maids were left behind. Sir Mo, I ask, if Third Miss Mo had gotten onto the horse carriage normally, why would so many unusual incidents happen?" She was a noble lady and had maidservants by her side at all times. However, her maids were left behind when she left the palace gates. Then, Mo Xuetong was heard screaming. There were also people who said that Mo Xuetong seemed stiff when she got onto the horse carriage. No matter how one saw it, Mo Xuetong seemed like she had been taken hostage. If that was true, it would definitely besmirch Mo Xuetong's reputation. Si
From his words, Mo Xuemin realized that Sima Lingyun was close to a breaking point and that she was going to fall on hard time. At the thought, Mo Xuemin was eager to tear him off with anger, but could not help becoming flurried inwardly. Sima Lingyun! What a bastard! He did have the impertinence to firm up the adultery between him and Mo Xuemin before the marriage. Mo Xuemin once saw him a lot for the sake of dealing with Mo Xuetong. Although the two did not touch the bottom line, they did always hug, touch and kiss each other. Even once they were encountered by Yun Yiqiu once. If Sima Lingyun spoke of it, it would be really terrible. Mo Xuemin stood up fiercely, no longer pretending to be weak, and spoke with a stern look. "Your Excellency, you are always a noble gentleman and enjoy a good reputation among people. How can you say that?" She was threatening Sima Lingyun with his reputation. If it was in the past, Sima Lingyun would never do
"I don't have this daughter!" Mo Huawen stood up, looked at Mo Xuemin with red eyes, and helped Xu Yan walk inside slowly and firmly. "Come here, help the first miss to tidy up and send her to the Duke Zhenguo's manor." Mo Xuetong ordered coldly as she looked at the chaotic scene indifferently. Her father's attitude was clear, and she did not want to be a good person. The matters between Mo Xuemin and Sima Lingyun should be settled by themselves. Looking at their dogfight, Mo Xuetong felt an inexpressible feeling of joy in her heart! In the last life, they two drove her to desperation and made her die so miserably. This life, it was their turn to suffer the disaster. The bloody feud made Mo Xuetong have no mercy for them. Some people were destined to come to a sticky end. It was nobody's fault but their own. "Mo Xuetong, you bitch! Don't be so complacent. You are going to die, too. You will come to accompany me soon. At that ti
Everyone knew that Auntie Fang was not dead. Even though Mdm Yu was forced to keep Auntie Fang outside her household, she did not punish her, allowing her to enjoy life outside. It was even rumored that she sent her men to meet with Mo Xuemin and Mo Yufeng privately. Mo Huawen knew this but did nothing, to protect the face of the Emperor, as well as that of his son Mo Yufeng and his daughter Mo Xuemin. If he really did charge Auntie Fang with the crime of poisoning his legal wife, she could only be punished by death, and her children forever shamed by her crime, never being able to raise their heads in front of others. However, now, he was tired... He felt that he had wronged the woman in his heart and the girl she gave birth to. He owed her an explanation and justice. "I will send my men to the side garden of Yu manor to seize Auntie Fang and give your mother an explanation." Mo Huawen breathed out heavily. He did not want to
