"Oh, cousin Fen is not in good health now." Mo Xuetong gave a faint smile, with coldness in her eyes.
"Sister-in-law, no. It is... I was sick a few days ago. So..." He Yufen felt greatly disgraced, so she raised her watery eyes and looked at Mo Xuetong aggrieved, just like a tender and decent young lady.
Mo Xuetong just looked at her quietly with her head tilting up slightly. Then, she put the book in her hand aside on the table, and the smile on her face gradually dissipated. She took up the teacup on the table and said in a cold voice, “Since Cousin Fen is not in good health, why not rest at home, but still run out. In this weather, it will be terrible if the virus is spread out."
The words sounded rather impolite, different from Mo Xuetong's style. He Yufen froze for a moment, then raised her head in surprise, and looked at Mo Xuetong unbelievably, only to spot the displeasure in Mo Xuetong's bright eyes. He Yufen was too embarrassed to say
"Well, elder sister, what's wrong with you? Look at you! Where is your decent as a young lady? Then, don't make senior uncle angry! Maybe he will replace you with a sister from the hometown." He Yuxiu screamed exaggeratedly. Looking at the mess on He Yufen, He Yuxiu turned around her with a look of fuss.He Yufen stopped and refuted immediately with an acid smile. "Even if I am replaced, I will not be replaced by second young sister. You'd better think about how to be the playboy's wife now. As for other things, you don't bother to worry about."If He Yufen's current expression was exposed to the people in the King Xuan's Manor, it would be a great shock to them, as she was not the gentle First Miss He as she usually pretended.Her words stung He Yuxiu. He Yuxiu's countenance changed instantly, and she gnashed the teeth in anger and said, "Don't swagger. I'm afraid that you are not only unable to become the King's consort, but also fail to marr
He approached naturally and collapsed upon her. He reached out to hold her slender waist and breathed in deeply at the crook of her neck. When his nostrils were filled with her clean scent, he asked with satisfaction, "What are you laughing at? Why are you so happy?""It's nothing. I was just wondering if you remember anything of the past after going to the brothel." Mo Xuetong pushed him away, pouting slightly. She was rather charming.Feng Yuran tousled Mo Xuetong's hair. His handsome eyes were clear and charming. When he looked at how she was leaning into him softly, his heart felt soft and sweet. No matter what his Tong'er did, he would like it. He reached out to stroke her nose lazily and asked, "What's the matter, are you jealous?""No way. I would have to submerge myself into a pool of jealousy if I were to be jealous. Have you found out anything about the thing I asked you to investigate?" Mo Xuetong felt a little lazy with the hot weat
"They are just little girls who do not know better. Since you are all family, Consort Xuan, be the bigger person and forget about it." Someone said with a laugh, trying to mediate the situation.Everyone turned to see that there was a woman in her 20s standing beside the He sisters, who were looking very awkward. The woman had a smile on her beautiful face. Her face was round and pleasant looking.She was the wife of the Minister of the Ministry of Works, Lian An. She had entered together with the He sisters, which was why the two managed to get into the Qin Manor.Lian An's wife had always had a good reputation amongst the other wives. She was always gentle and kind and was also the wife of a first-grade official. Mo Xuetong could not treat her like how she treated the He sisters.Mo Xuetong's eyes glittered colorfully and held out a hand to stop Mo Yu from speaking. A gentle smile appeared on her pale face as she greeted the woma
Mo Xuetong continued. She did not look at Auntie Fang again. Instead, she turned around and left. Her light ringing laugher rang behind her and grew softer as she left the courtyard.In her past life, she had been completely destroyed. Her heart had grown bitter with hatred before her death. And now, she had finally gotten what she wanted!Auntie Fang was at the end of her life. Even if Mo Xuetong allowed her to live, she would not be able to live for long."Ahh... Slut, slut... Damnable slut..." Auntie Fang forced herself to get up. She rushed at Mo Xuetong's figure with a crazed and ferocious expression. Her hair was in a mess and she looked like a madwoman.However, before she could finish venting, the curtains lifted again silently. Mdm Yu stood at the entrance expressionlessly. She looked at Auntie Fang sadly..."Eldest Sister, help me. You have to help me. We have to kill the little slut. Kill her. Min'er and Yu'
Qin Yufeng smiled softly. He turned and started walking on the path that took him here. Mo Xuetong followed him. She descended into silence and did not speak. Qin Yufeng smiled and did not hurry her either.The two continued walking casually as if they were friends. The two maids behind followed closely. The wind blew, upturning their sleeves, but no one noticed. Things seemed to be in harmony between the two of them. It was a strange harmony that came from a gentle smile and wariness.They were walking on the main path of the back courtyard. A smaller path appeared in front of them suddenly. A woman rushed out at them and toppled on Qin Yufeng. Qin Yufeng moved swiftly and pulled Mo Xuetong back so that Mo Xuetong could avoid the woman who rushed at them.Then, another woman followed. The woman stood still when she saw that there were others present. Her expression, which had been sharp and fierce, turned gentle. She smiled pleasantly and imme
"Second Sister, shall we follow?" He Yufen watched the horse carriage draw away. She wrung her handkerchief as she spoke to He Yuxiu softly. When she thought of King Xuan, Feng Yuran's handsome appearance and the way he turned to look back when he got onto the carriage, He Yufen's heart jumped wildly. Her face grew hot. She felt that Feng Yuran had turned to look at her."Elder Sister, do you really think King Xuan was looking at you? Dream on, he won't like you." Now that there was no one else around them, He Yuxiu did not have to act as if they were close. She gave He Yufen the side eye and berated her jealously. Feng Yuran was obviously looking at her, not He Yufen.When she thought of how her uncle and father decided to marry her to King Xuan, He Yuxiu could not control the jealousy she felt!The riches and luxuries that were about to land in her hands were slipping away. How could He Yuxiu calm down?"Second Sister, you don't
"That'd work. I can be a companion to Consort Xuan." Li Youmo said with a smile. He continued, without hiding anything from Mo Xuetong. He pulled out a file and handed it to Feng Yuran with a mocking laugh. "Your Highness, King Chu is indeed in contact with the First Prince of Yan. King Ning is also in contact with the First Prince. It seems that the First Prince of Yan has a big appetite. He would be able to get help from Qin no matter who gets the throne. He won't be losing out at all."Feng Yuran took the file and looked at it. A devilish smile appeared on the corners of his lips. Then, he scoffed coldly, "The First Prince of Yan indeed has a big appetite. However, he is interfering with too much. We'll deal him with a strong blow and see if he still has time to meddle in the affairs of Qin Kingdom."Feng Yuran had never liked the First Prince of Yan. He was ambitious but did not have talent. He was no match for Bai Yihao. He did not settle the matters o
"Bo'an, you have to make it clear. Why did you ask me to be a witness for you? I know nothing about it." Feng Yuran shifted off cleanly, shook the teacup in his hands, and continued to say disapprovingly, "Since I married Tong'er, I have never been to that place. So even if I want to prove for you, I can do nothing for you."What he meant was that he was incredibly pure now, and just wanted to sit by and do nothing!Wasn't he too mean?Li Youmo looked at Feng Yuran pitifully. But Feng Yuran seemed to detach himself from the matter and even flatter Mo Xuetong by using Li Youmo, which made Li Youmo secretly scold Feng Yuran's betrayal to friends. But now, Li Youmo was trying to beg Mo Xuetong to persuade Luo Mingzhu, so he did not dare to offend Feng Yuran."My Lady, please believe me. I didn't really want to compete with Yu Mingyong. It was His Highness who asked me to pick up the famous prostitute. Please... please don't glare at m
