Having a grandmother who doted so much on her was such a great feeling!
Mo Xuetong chatted with the Old Madam for a while before leaving. She did not stay in the Fu General Manor for too long as she still had to visit the Mo Manor. She had to let her father know that she was safe.
She left the Old Madam's courtyard in a hurry and took a path along the garden. She could not help but glance at a secluded corner. She would find out what happened in that courtyard. However, it would not be through her grandmother. She had come today just to let her grandmother know that Mingguo Manor bore enmity against the Fu General Manor. That was all. She did not want to cause further trouble and hurt her grandmother.
"Who is that?" She turned to look at a tall pavilion. There was a well-dressed and beautiful woman in it. Mo Xuetong frowned slightly. She knew everyone in the Fu General Manor but had never seen this beautiful woman before.
"She is S
Mo Xueqiong had only died recently; why were the two of them so close? Auntie Qing even sent someone over to Mo Yufeng.Mo Xuetong's instincts told her that the two were up to something. Mo Yufeng was too old to be Auntie Qing's son."Did Father say anything?" Mo Xuetong asked after some thought."Your Father said that Auntie Qing just lost her child and Mo Yufeng lost his mother. Perhaps her maternal instincts are strong, which is why she is so nice to Mo Yufeng." Xu Yan said softly.The smile slid off Mo Xuetong's face. There were times when she felt that Mo Huawen was really naive. Mo Yufeng had already disappointed him so much, yet, he still thought the best of him. There was also Auntie Qing. Auntie Qing used to be quiet and somewhat gracious. She was completely different from Mo Xueqiong.Others would lament that Mo Xueqiong was mean-spirited and vile and they did not know whom she resembled!But in
But now, what Mo Xuetong said made Mo Huawen hesitate. Would everything be alright if King Xuan did not care about anything? He had originally thought that since King Xuan was the Emperor's favorite son, it did not matter even if he were not ambitious. However, King Yan did not forget to hurt King Xuan even in his current state. Was he truly unable to let his lazy younger brother live?If this was what King Yan thought, then what about King Chu? If the Emperor passed on in the future, who would take care of this younger brother of theirs?Were all of them, no matter who ascended the throne, not going to let King Xuan off? Then what about Tong'er?If King Xuan were charged with the crime of rebellion, the entire manor would be implicated. Mo Huawen could not help but shudder when he thought of that. He immediately regained his wits and clarity flashed in his eyes. He could not allow anything to happen to Tong'er and he would not allow anything t
Mo Xuetong smiled sweetly and said in a gentle tone, "Father, don't worry. King Yan's Manor doesn't just owe us a life. They want us to cause trouble because of what happened to Fourth Sister. We can put a different spin on this and cause even more trouble. Fourth Sister has a maid who also died from unknown causes. That Mo Yan, who's pregnant? No one knows who her child belongs to. Do you remember her mother?"This reminded Mo Huawen.Mo Yan was not a servant born into the Mo Manor. She came to Mo Manor when she was about three or four with her mother. Luo Xia had just married into the manor then and had not given birth to a child. Mo Yan's mother became a managing nanny serving Luo Xia. She had an especially sharp tongue and no one had ever won an argument against her.However, this strong woman fell ill not long after Luo Xia passed away. She was first sent to another courtyard to recuperate but had died in the end. However, because Mo Huawe
Feng Yulei turned his head sideways to take a cold look at You Yue'e, and succeeded in calming down the infuriated woman. She lowered her head slightly. They should not provoke the people at this time.Taking two steps forward, Feng Yulei walked up to Auntie Qing and looked up at her proudly. After a while, he lightly asked, "You are the concubine of the Mo Manor, Second Consort Mo's mother, aren't you?""Yes, Your Highness." Auntie Qing looked at Feng Yulei's chilly eyes and gave a little shudder. But she knew immediately that she could not hold back at this moment. Remembering what Mo Huawen had told her before her departure, she had to go out due to the current interests. With red eyes and a handkerchief over her mouth, she whimpered, "Your Highness, Qiong'er has died a strange death. Shouldn't you say something? Qiong'er treated her sisters kindly at home. How could she do something to set up her sister and drag the whole Mo Manor down when she had only
Even after the investigation, he was unlikely to get a heavy punishment.Feng Yulei knew that You Yuecheng would do something, bringing the matter to the Mo Manor. If the people from the Mo Manor came to make trouble, he could get away.Today, as soon as he heard some people from the Mo Manor were at his gate, he took You Yue'e out. He wanted to act well, but something unexpected happened again.Feng Yulei had no idea that someone would stand up for a maidservant instead of for Mo Xueqiong.It was not in the same direction that he designed it to be. For a moment he was assailed by her questions. His face darkened, almost dripping with water, and he stared at the woman in front of him with hatred."Who are you?" asked Feng Yulei through gritted teeth."I'm the mother of Mo Yan, the maid who was tricked into getting pregnant and then died a horrible death. Your Highness, you are high above, and the owner of
As long as someone shouted first, others would follow. And he spoke everyone's mind. They reached the acme of dissatisfaction with You Yue'e, only thinking that it was all because of this vicious bitch that murder happened at the King Yan's Manor from time to time. And those who died were all second consorts and pregnant women. Such a hateful, jealous woman deserved to be punished.Others complained about King Yan's cowardice. Seeing that he was still protecting Consort Yan, people thought he must be afraid of Consort Yan. Consort Yan was the legitimate daughter of the Mingguo Manor. She had a noble status. No wonder King Yan was afraid of her. But he couldn't even protect his own women and children. He was so incompetent.How could such a useless prince bear such a great responsibility? Several of Feng Yulei's former supporters also changed their positions at this time. If King Yan got the throne, the Mingguo Manor had the most say. This... this was really
You Yuecheng raised his hand and said to the outside, "Somebody, give her 10 taels of silver.""Yes." The manservant rushed in, took out 10 taels of silver from his pocket, and gave them to Maid Li. Then he tugged at her clothes and motioned her away.As she looked at the glistening money, Maid Li's eyes immediately lit up. Without wiping the tears from her face, she took them hastily, thanked the manservant, and was taken out by him.To publicize the matter of the King Jin's Manor was to make the Emperor suspicious of Mo Xuetong. If she really was King Jin's child, even if the Emperor didn't want to pursue this matter, he would be forced to pursue the reality. In any case, the descendants of King Jin were the remnants of the rebellion, which was determined by the Emperor before the former Emperor and could not be changed by the current Emperor.As soon as the news got out, the Emperor had to send someone to investigate. You Yueche
"Go and get someone to pass the news to Ling Rui'er," Mo Xuetong ordered with cold eyes.The King Yan's Manor had a person going there, and she went there on behalf of the King Xuan's Manor. How could no one of the King Chu's Manor go there? No one could put himself out of it. Since it was a fight for the throne, the livelier, the better. She wanted to give the Empress more room to exert.Since the Empress wanted to make things big, it was of course better to make things as big and chaos as possible.Mo Xuetong didn't stay long. When Mo Ye contacted Mo Feng and explained what was going on, Mo Xuetong took Mo Yu and Mo Ye to the palace, to prevent the Empress taking it as an excuse to scold her. She asked Mo Lan to be in charge of the manor for the time being. If Feng Yuran came back, she could get in touch with Feng Yue around him.In the spacious, grand hall of the Tianfeng Palace, the Empress was expressionless, sitting high abov
