Before Luo Mingzhu and Mo Xuetong had time to go to General Manor, the next morning, Luo Mingzhu hurried into King Xuan's Manor and entered Mo Xuetong's room.
Mo Xuetong had just gotten up and had breakfast. She asked the maidservant to pour a cup of hot tea for Luo Mingzhu. Then she noticed that the latter picked the cup, took a sip of it and looked around.
Understanding what she meant, Mo Xuetong waved her hand, gesturing for the servants to leave. Then, she asked directly, "Second Cousin, what's the matter?"
With a glance at Luo Mingzhu, she knew that something was happening. Luo Mingzhu's face was pale and she gritted her teeth angrily.
"Cousin Tong, Elder Brother..." Luo Mingzhu felt so embarrassed that she lowered her head. Putting down the teacup in her hand, she gritted her teeth and said, "Cousin Tong, Elder Brother was drunk yesterday and somehow slept with Yun Ya on the same bed. The manor was in chaos this morning. I he
Mo Xuetong asked Luo Mingzhu to wait in the yard and went to Feng Yuran's Jinwei Pavilion in the front yard to talk with him for a while. She refused Feng Yuran's good intentions of going with her and planned to go to General Manor by herself. Anyway, it was General Manor's domestic affairs, and it was a matter of the inner yard. It was not suitable for Feng Yuran, a prince, to come forward.When Mo Xuetong was ready, she and Luo Mingzhu hurried to have lunch before going to General Manor.After an hour, their carriages slowly stopped in front of General Manor.When the servants guarding the gate saw that it was the two young ladies who had returned, they immediately reported to Old Madam. Soon, Nanny Shen, who was by Old Madam's side, welcomed them to the main entrance."Greetings, Consort Xuan. Greetings, Second Miss." Nanny Shen hurried up to curtsy to the two when they got out of the carriage. However, she didn't look good and
"Mingzhu, how, how could you say that?" Madam Qu was stunned. She had never expected her gentle and kind daughter to say something like that. She looked up at Luo Mingzhu in shock."Second Aunt, what do you want Second Cousin and me to say? Do you want Second Cousin to give a face to a woman who has plotted against General Manor? Second Aunt, you are now a knife in someone's hand. Don't you know that you are used to plotting against General Manor? What would Second Uncle think if he finds out?"Mo Xuetong was furious as well. If she had not asked her people to watch Yun Ya, she would not have known that You Yuecheng was using her to plot against General Manor. No wonder You Yuecheng had so many speculations in the desolate little courtyard in the back yard and they were close to the truth. There was indeed someone who was passing on the message.Yun Ya was now the cousin of General Manor, and it would be easy for her to find out something about
"Consort Xuan, I don't know what I did to offend you, and you use these things to frame me. Don't blow this matter up not for my sake, but please for the sake of my aunt and General Manor. I promise you, Consort Xuan, that even if I marry into the manor in the future, I will find a desolate courtyard in the manor and live there. I will never see His Excellency again and affect His Excellency's marriage to his wife. I will only live quietly in the manor until I die."Yun Ya looked sad and her tears flowed down her cheeks. She looked at Mo Xuetong pathetically and humbly as if Mo Xuetong had pushed her to death on purpose. Her request was simple. She just wanted a place to stay, even if it was just a desolate courtyard.Furthermore, she also mentioned Madam Qu and Luo Wenyou, as if Mo Xuetong refused to do them a favor and was intentionally making them lose face if she was against her.Such a weak woman was so sad and desperate. She would rather
"What?" Madam Qu was shocked as if she had been struck by lightning. She almost couldn't stand still."Madam, you didn't hear wrong. Your niece is no longer a virgin girl. She has more than one intimate encounter. It seems that it happened half a year ago." The nanny, who came out to report, glanced sideways at Madam Qu with sarcasm and said coldly.The two of them came from the palace, so they naturally did not have to care about Madam Qu's sensibility. What was more, their current master was Consort Xuan. Judging from Madam Qu's appearance, they knew that she hated Consort Xuan. Then, why did they have to save Madam Qu's face?"No, that can't be true. It's impossible. It must be impossible." Madam Qu staggered a few steps, and her face was as pale as snow. How could her delicate niece be a slutty woman? How could she not be a virgin girl? Did the nannies make a mistake? Her eyes suddenly met Mo Xuetong's deep watery eyes. The shock and confus
This was no longer a simple case of taking a concubine. However, it could not be used to testify against You Yuecheng. Yun Ya had loose morals and had already had an affair with someone else, and no one would believe her. You Yuecheng had always enjoyed a good reputation. A mere Yun Ya could not shake his reputation. Even though the jade pendant was owned by those who could enter the palace, You Yuecheng was not the only person who had it. It was possible that he would bite Luo Wenyou backHowever, Mo Xuetong thought they should not waste such a person. She might as well get someone to watch over Yun Ya. Yun Ya was still in her courtyard which would be tightly guarded but nothing could be seen on the surface. When there was a need, she could be taken out to testify against You Yuecheng. It would be the most appropriate use at the crucial juncture. However, it was still not a good time to alert the enemy.Then the servants took Yun Ya and her two servants ar
In Luo Bin's study, a celadon cup was thrown in front of Madam Qu. Luo Mingzhu, who was hiding outside, was so frightened that she trembled. Her father was really annoyed."Tell me, what do you want to do?" Luo Bin was so angry that the blue veins on his forehead bulged. He glared at Madam Qu. It could be said as the matter that Yun Ya wanted to marry into Fu General Manor as a concubine or the matter that might make them get into trouble and cause the whole family to be completely destroyed. Luo Bin was usually in charge of this kind of thing. How could he not know about it?It was difficult to guess the Emperor's intentions. He had not known for many years whether the Emperor knew about it or not, but this matter could not be made public no matter what. Once it was made public, Fu General Manor would definitely be known as the remnants of King Jin's faction. This was a grave crime that even the Emperor would not be able to spare them even if he wanted to.
Mo Xuetong and Luo Mingzhu parted ways at the entrance of Fu General Manor. They used to go the same way for a while before they parted. Today, Luo Mingzhu claimed that she had something to do—to visit an elder of the Li family. It happened that the two of them weren't on the same path, so they parted ways at the gate. Mo Xuetong sat in the carriage and watched Luo Mingzhu's carriage go away before asking her coachman to drive.Luo Mingzhu acted quite oddly. She had hurried into King Xuan's Manor in the morning because of what happened to Fu General Manor. Then, that matter happened in Fu General Manor. How could she be in the mood to visit an elder? She had been standing behind the study earlier and Mo Xuetong's second uncle and aunt had been arguing. It was said that the two had gotten into a big fight. Could it be because of this?"My Lady, are we going back to the manor now?" Mo Ye asked after getting on the carriage. As she noticed that Mo Xuetong was
"Why are you back so late? Was it so troublesome?" When Mo Xuetong came back to her yard, Feng Yuran had already been waiting there. He threw down the book in his hand and looked up lazily. His bright eyes landed on her, a doting smile flashing in them.Usually, he was not at home at this time. The situation in the court had suddenly changed and he had many things to deal with. Even though Emperor Zongwen doted on him the most, if he did not have a certain amount of strength, Mo Xuetong believed that Emperor Zongwen would not choose him. Compared to the kingdom, Emperor's love for him was a little lighter.Then he was worried about her!Thinking of this, Mo Xuetong smiled even more sweetly. She walked to the couch and blinked her shimmery eyes. "Not really. It was not so troublesome, but I learn something else."Then she waved her hand and the maidservants in the room sensibly left one by one. Mo Ye had already gone to find Mo Feng
