Ever since He Yufen came to the capital, she was always thinking about this man, and all she wanted was to live a peaceful life with him. Perhaps she desired his handsome appearance, perhaps she craved his wealth and rank, or perhaps she just wanted to enter his heart and become the one he was willing to protect. But now, there was only despair and sadness in her eyes.
Tears dropped unconsciously. Her hands clenched the dry firewood on the ground. Actually, there was already someone in his heart where no one else was able to replace. However, she had still thought highly of herself that she could take the place of Mo Xuetong by Consort Zhao's power and her own beauty.
It turned out that everything was a fond dream!
She clenched her hands tightly and the thorns on the firewood pierced into her palms. She almost screamed in pain, and tears rolled down her cheeks, but she still smiled. It was the He family that had given her the wishful thinking.
He Yufen left the capital hurriedly in the evening. She passed off herself as a maidservant and mingled with Mo Xuetong's maidservants. She followed Mo Xuetong out of the King Xuan's Manor and went into an embroidery shed, and then got on a blue carriage which had been prepared at the back door. She left escorted by an old maid and a coachman.Mo Xuetong sat on the upstairs of the embroidery shed and watched the carriage leave. With some faint ripples in her limpid eyes, she felt that there were secrets in the remote He family. However, the things and people were too far away from her. Even if she sent people there, some things still remained mysterious. It had been so long that Mo Xuetong was unable to detect any clues immediately.He Yufen was the best person Mo Xuetong could think of. Compared to He Yuxiu, He Yufen was obviously more patient and intelligent. However, she was not strong enough, and was more afraid of death. When a pill was put on her body
Mo Xuetong also let out a sigh and said, "Second Consort Mo, you must be joking. King Chu is such a wise person. How could he be like our King? Our manor leaks air everywhere, and not a person can prevent it. This time, it was our manor that got King Chu into the trouble. Please convey our apologies to King Chu when you return.""Consort Xuan, you are so kind. This is also our King's fault. How could he take the South Pearl head accessory as the present? Consort Ling had taken a fancy to this set for a long time, and I heard that she had asked for it from His Highness several times. However, His Highness doted on her usually, but he did not agree this time. I did not expect that it made Consort Ling keep thinking of it, and almost... cause great trouble. But for your cleverness, we would have been done this time."Mo Yarui patted her chest with a lingering fear on her face. Even now, she was still frightened of what had happened in the palace every time she
The lady was annoyed that she did not have enough money. When she saw Mo Yarui step out again, she immediately slammed the table, pointed at Mo Yarui, and scolded her impolitely, "Hey, who are you? Does this have anything to do with you? Where did you from? What? Do you want to help her? If you really want to help her, pay for all the embroidery first."According to Mo Yarui's temper, she was no match for the lady in an argument. Instantly, tears welled up in her eyes as she heard the lady's scold. She turned to look at Mo Xuetong and wanted to ask for help.Mo Xuetong had to help her when Mo Yarui looked at her with eager eyes. She sighed to herself. Even if she did not want to make trouble, trouble would always come to her. Fortunately, she was not really afraid of getting into trouble. She stood up with the help of Mo Lan; her watery eyes rolled and fell on the lady across her. She smiled gently and asked, "Miss, have you just entered the capital? You ha
Hearing Mo Xuetong's words, no matter how much Mo Yarui wanted to argue, she immediately gave up. Anyway, she was King Chu's second consort. She could not stop an unmarried young lady and ask for money. Furthermore, Mo Xuetong seemed to have no intention of helping her. She could only nod. "It's all up to Consort Xuan.""Second Consort Mo, you're wrong. This is a matter of King Chu's Manor. I'm the first consort of a different manor. How can I make the decision? Second Consort Mo, you'd better take care of it yourself," Mo Xuetong refused with a smile. As Consort Xuan, she should not care too much about the matters of King Chu's Manor. The matter that happened in the palace had not been settled yet. Even though there was no rumor about it, what if there were more rumors about it now!"Yes, I'm in charge. I lost my mind just now." Mo Yarui immediately understood what Mo Xuetong meant and knew that what she said earlier was inappropriate. She hurriedly apolog
The woman had been hiding in the crowd and watching Qin Yuxuan from the side. When she saw him running away happily, the obsession in her eyes faded away, replaced by hatred. "Mo Xuetong, it's all that bitch's fault. Cousin Xuan and I are supposed to be a couple. If it weren't for you, I would have been in love with Cousin Xuan."The book in her hand had been twisted into pieces and fell from her hand. She gritted her teeth and looked in the direction of the bookstore viciously. After a while, she turned around and walked into an alley. There was a small door leading to King Chu's Manor's back yard. It was a shortcut to enter King Chu's Manor."Miss Sirong, you're finally here. Her Lady sent someone to see you just now and asked you to come over as soon as possible. Her Lady is angry now!" Seeing the woman coming in, the old maid who guarded the door hurriedly came up with a warm smile."Her Lady is angry again?" After standing still, Sirong to
Mo Xuetong did not know that Yu Sirong, the first miss of the Yu family, had entered King Chu's Manor with the name of Si Rong. Furthermore, she had become Ling Rui'er's personal maidservant. However, Mo Xuetong had gotten news that Yu Sirong had come to the capital in another way.The person she saw at Old Madam Qin's banquet that day was really Yu Sirong. This news made Mo Xuetong stunned and speechless.Back then, Yu Sirong had been disfigured and sent away, but the woman she saw that day definitely had a normal face."Is her face healed?""My Lady, after you told me about this person's appearance that day, I asked someone to keep an eye on Qin Manor. After seeing off the guests, Madam Yu of Qin Manor prepared a small sedan chair in the evening and went to a house. Other than one maidservant and an old maid served in the house, there was no one else."Mo Ye explained in detail to Mo Xuetong. "After that, I heard tha
A painting, a painting that Old Madam Qin valued highly, and it was a painting of three girls! Mo Xuetong was 100 percent sure that it was the painting given to her by Qin Yufeng. It turned out that it was not given to her intentionally by Old Madam Qin, but that Qin Yufeng found it and sent it to her. How did he know that she wanted the painting?When she saw the painting, Qin Yufeng was in the capital and she had never told anyone about it. She did not even mention it in front of Mo Lan and Mo Yu. Where did Qin Yufeng know that she wanted the painting, or was it just a coincidence? But it was too coincidental. Qin Yufeng sent the painting to her when she wanted it. At this time, this matter was full of twists and turns, and Mo Xuetong could not figure it out, but she had an intuition that Qin Yufeng knew that she wanted the painting!"Didn't Cousin Feng think of a way to help you?" she asked softly as if she did not care."It's impossible for
The wind sounded lonely in the dark night. It was another starless night. The weather did not look good, and it was a little rainy. The autumn wind suddenly rose. It was cool and swept away the leaves that had fallen earlier, making a whooshing sound.At the back door of the yard, an old maid came back in a hurry.Seeing the comer clearly, the old maid who guarded the gate put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, and asked with a smile, "Nanny Qian, it is so late. Did you go out to buy snacks for Miss Yun?""No, not today. Old Madam is in poor health these few days. Our miss wanted to embroider a headband for Old Madam, so she especially asked me to go out and pick out a few silk threads for her," Nanny Qian replied carefully. The previous occasions when she used the excuse of going out to buy snacks did not arouse suspicion, but it was not a good excuse for her to come back at night. Her miss was muddle-headed. Why was she so interested
