The Qin family and the Yu family came together this time. However, the Qin family was the main reason for their journey. Only the Old sir and his wife Mdm Chen as well as the First Miss of the Yu Family, Yu Sirong, from the Yu Family came. There were only two carriages from the Yu manor following behind the horse carriages of the Qin Manor. The other family members of the Yu family did not come to the capital.
They did not send someone to contact them immediately after reaching the capital like what Auntie Fang had said.
Mo Xuemin had fallen ill. She was so seriously ill that she could not even get out of bed. Mo Huawen had no choice but to release Auntie Fang so that she could go to Fuqing Garden to take care of Mo Xuemin...
The rumors started off with a few people gossiping. Then, the rumors started to spread through the streets and the alleys. Even some matriarchs from noble families would talk about it when they met.
The co
An old eunuch sat in the corner of Old Madam Xu's yard. There were a few palace maids holding clothes, cloth and jewelry boxes standing behind him. The door curtains lifted and two young ladies entered. The older girl was about 14 or 15. She wore a long pink dress with blue peacock prints. Her skirt danced above the ground and she wore a white satin shirt outside her skirt, showing off the elegant peacock print on her print shirt. Her skirt and sleeve cuffs were edged with silver-white clouds. Yes, she was slender and good looking. She was beautiful! The younger girl wore a simple white dress with a light blue floral skirt. There were faint floral patterns only at the bottom of her skirt. Her black hair twisted into a skewed bun, pinned up only with a silver jade hairpin. When one looked at her, she looked gentle and weak and made one want to dote on her. She was not tall, and she had her head lowered when she entered. As such, he could not see her face c
Mo Ye moved quickly and flipped over the doors. Then, she moved the door aside from the inside. Mo Xuetong brought Mo Lan through the door that Mo Ye opened and entered. Standing inside, she could see that the twisting path leading to the door inside was filled with weeds and pebbles. It looked extremely desolated. Mo Ye used her foot to move the weeds away and Mo Xuetong followed the path. There was an inexplicable feeling in her heart. There were two entrances to the yard. The first lead to the main house. They pushed open the somewhat wrecked doors. There was a creak. The house was empty. "Miss, I will go and clean up first before you come in." Mo Lan stood in front of Mo Xuetong worriedly. Even though she did not know where they were, she could see the wariness in Mo Xuetong's eyes. She knew that her mistress valued this place very much. As such, she did not stop her mistress from entering. However, she was still worried. "
All was peaceful in the time after. The Empress did not do anything else after gifting gifts to a few more ladies. She did not make anyone a princess, or even a concubine. There was no change on the Emperor's side either. It was as if the Flower Appreciation Banquet was just a normal banquet. King Chu, King Yan, and King Xuan did not have any main wives. Of course, this did not mean that there were no beauties or concubines in their inner courtyards. King Xuan's inner courtyard was florishing. It was said that the wild and arrogant King Xuan had the greatest number of concubines. He had not returned for too long when he started bringing in concubines into his manor. Even though Emperor Zongwen was angry, there was nothing he could do. In the beginning, he would send someone to rebuke him and then, after that, it was too late for any scolding. The Emperor just allowed him to do what he wanted. However, this annoyed the Empress and Concubine Su greatly and
Where did the blood come from? The eunuch sprawled on the ground started to shake. He had already cleaned the traces of blood by his lips when he entered. He thought about how he was going to get through this. If the Empress found out that it was his blood that had been sprayed on her favorite niece's painting, he would definitely die. However, he dared not lie to the Empress. The Empress looked like she was going to get into an argument with King Xuan. There was not just one person who had seen him spitting blood on the painting after being hit by the guards. If they found out that he had sowed discord between the Empress and King Xuan, then he would definitely die. "What is it? Is it difficult for you to speak?" The Empress glared at him and her already stern face looked even sharper. "No, no, that's not it. It is your servant. I was hit earlier and I accidentally spat blood... on it." The eunuch shuddered and did not dare to speak again.
"Old Sir, First Miss's clothes are too long and won't fit Young Miss. It seems like she can't wear it." Mo He was frightened because Mo Xuetong almost fell. She hurried up and helped Mo Xuetong steady herself. She squatted down at Mo Xuetong's feet and gestured at the hems, pulling out a large swath of cloth and said awkwardly. Mo Huawen's smile disappeared when he saw that the clothes were obviously one size bigger. He pursed his thin lips. "Don't worry. Eldest Sister means well and has already sent these clothes three or four times. If I don't accept it, she will get angry. Since I can't wear it now, I will wear it in the future when I can." Mo Xuetong seemed as if she did not feel anything and smiled. She flicked the sleeves and walked on her toes, spinning around. Then, she laughed and said, "Father, does Tong'er look good wearing Eldest Sister's clothes?" The main daughter had to wear the daughter of a concubine, and looked so happy eve
"Father said that these clothes and cloth are not good. He will send someone to send new ones over." Mo Xuetong said with a gentle and likable smile. The servant holding the cloths at the door smiled wanly at the door. She could neither leave nor say. She wanted to slip away but was glared at by Mo Huawen coldly and did not dare move. She was secretly upset. She would not have come if Mo Xiu from First Miss's courtyard had not said that First Miss was ending gifts for Third Miss and that Third Miss would definitely be happy and tip her. How unlucky! She did not expect to make Third Miss upset and even anger Old Sir. The servant hated the little bi*ch Mo Xiu for sending her on this trip. She would definitely not take part in such matters again. "Are the clothes not good? They look beautiful!" Xu Yan did not know what happened and only felt that it was awkward for her to sit there. Her face was flushed and her heart beat wildly. She did not da
The first thing Mo Huawen did when he returned to the Mo Manor was to visit Mo Xuemin's Fuqing Garden angrily. He got the two servants to throw the clothes and cloth in their arms onto the table the moment he entered. He harrumphed coldly at Mo Xuemin who was seated at a corner doing embroidery. Then, he raised his robes and sat down. "Father, why have you come to visit Min'er today? You came at just the right time. I made you a robe." Mo Xuemin seemed as if she did not realize Mo Huawen's annoyance. She stood up gently and retrieved a grey long cotton robe from the couch beside her. The robe was folded neatly, and it looked as if she had put a lot of effort into it." Father, put this against yourself and see if the length and size are right. I'm afraid I didn't do it well, and you won't like it." Mo Huawen was furious. He pushed the robe away and pointed at the clothes on the table and said angrily, "Do you like it when you give your younger sister your
The reason why Yu Feng was here was simple. His younger sister had gone to him, crying. He was very angry but was trying not to show it. He asked, "Lord Mo, Feng'er is already so old. How can he represent the household with his status? He can't even have a good marriage. He is your only son. Do you intend to let him carry the name as the concubine's son forever?" It was indeed hard for Mo Yufeng to marry a noble young lady with his status as the concubine's son. Even though he was the only son of the family, Mo Huawen was still young. If he married another woman, she might bear him a son. That would become his main son, and he would one day represent the family. If that happened, who would care about a concubine's son? So what if he was the elder son! This was what the Yu family was most worried about. If Auntie Fang wanted to be acknowledged in her own family, she could not do so as a concubine. The Yu family would not allow a main daughter
